“Home sweet home!”
Fairti was overjoyed upon stepping inside NetherFrost city. He was recognized right at the gates and while the guards went to inform Silver Gicolt, his father, he gave Leiu a brief tour of this glorious and ancient city.
The NetherFrost city is the oldest city in the Noules Empires and though it has the lowest population, its inhabitants are amicable and welcoming, opposite to Radiance City, which was infested by the Holy Church.
The living conditions of the NetherFrost Region are harsh due to the constant sub-zero temperature and the savage beasts roaming the vicinity. In addition, there was an infamous tribe called ‘Rovir’s Family’. They consist of mainly bandits, thieves and the like but their leader is a frightening and po
Fairti Gicolt had two siblings, both younger than him. The second youngest was actually a girl, Alethia Gicolt, 18 years of age and a young trainee Knight. While Fairti wasn’t interested in fighting and only read books or explored dangerous places, Alethia had an opposite behavior.She looked aloof and cold but she did treasure her brother and was just as worried as her father. Upon seeing him energetically enter, the girl was happy but her expression did not change, probably trying to keep her image in front of the unfamiliar guest.“Little Al, give me a kiss!”Fairti pointed at his cheek and leaned closer to his sister but all he got was a vicious kick on his knees, which made him stagger and hold his leg and groaned. Nevertheless, he never stopped smilin
The city's glorious library resided in the biggest building of NetherFrost City. It was unimaginably massive with at least a dozen floors and, from what Fairti said, over a million books. It was truly a sight to behold, even from someone such as Leiu, who’s not interested in that stuff.With the help of the welcoming librarian, Fairti took close to twenty minutes to fish out a decent amount of books mentioning the Harrowing.Just like previously, these books did not delve too much about the Harrowing, it focused more on the malevolent entities living there, and how it was initially created.Leiu was about to begin a reading spree right there and then but was eventually convinced to go back to the Gicolt household. Not only will he not be bothered here, but he’ll
Leiu had nothing to add and went back to sit, however, Fairti was adamant on pursuing this ludicrous sparring matter. It was to fix his little sister’s attitude, to pass time and get rid of the boredom.“Alethia, I did not take you for a coward. Isn’t it just a spar?”This kind of provocation wasn’t uncommon, especially coming from an eccentric individual such as Fairti. Nevertheless, it had an immediate effect on the girl, her swinging came to an abrupt halt.With narrowed eyes and a piercing glare, she fixed her gaze on her older brother, clearly looking irritated and about to lunge at him at any given second.Ever since they were young, the eldest sibling would continuously mock his
“You’re really leaving?”The very same morning Leiu was invited to Silver Gicolt’s office, Fairti quickly learnt of his friend’s departure. As the Dark Knight was preparing to leave, the dandy noble barged in the room and immediately questioned his friend.Leiu, who was arranging the books scattered on the overly-large bed, turned to look at Fairti and, after letting out a sigh, responded,“I’m grateful for your help but it’s about time I leave.”“Have you already figured out how to reach the Harrowing, is that it?”Feeling genuinely worried and anxious, Fairti creased his brows and asked aga
“Wow! The Imperial Capital is really on a whole other level in terms of architecture and design.”The five members of the Black Dragon Guild; Maria, Victorious, Ronzi, Oneshot, and Shola, finally arrived at the capital of the Noules Empire.Through a total coincidence, they received an S+ graded Quest which took them no less than 8 days of suffering to finish it. The purpose behind their arrival here was to receive the rewards and finish it.Not only were the rewards very generous, but the loot from the boss they killed yesterday were lucrative, to say the least. They all leveled up 4 times just from defeating that one boss, making the highest leveled amongst them, Ronzi, reach Lv87.Furthermore, when th
The NetherFrost Region and the Black Mountain are separated by a long snowy mountain range, rendering it nigh impossible to cross it by foot or even with the use of a fast mount. The only way to traverse it is through aerial means, such as a flying mount or with the help of The Sky Federation.Additionally, the mountain range houses innumerable dangerous beasts, much stronger than the manticore Leiu is going to hunt. For this reason, which was more than enough, the Dark Knight opted for the safer but longer route.Suffice to say, the detour he’s going to take is considerably long and boring. Unlike the path he trod on his way to Radiance City, Leiu will go around the Desert Zone, staying close to the mountain range and going through a series of desolate forests.

“How. Many. Times. Did. I. Tell. You. Not. To. Cry.”With every word leaving the drunken man’s mouth, he would punch the young boy. He didn’t even hold back his strength, he would continuously beat up his child until he vented all of his anger and frustration.By the time the man was done, the boy’s face and body would be bruised and even bloody. He was only four years of age but he was constantly abused, on a daily basis.His father used to be a wealthy businessman but a series of unfortunate events led to his current state. Still, even back when the man was rich, the beatings were ever-so-present.It’s like he did not view the kid as his own flesh and blood, he was j
