Chapter 38: Complications in the Inner City
last update2024-12-27 20:40:10
The winding paths and towering buildings of the inner city left Vaila in awe. She craned her neck to take in the intricate architecture, her crimson eyes sparkling with wonder.

“Why are all the houses so tall?” she asked, her voice tinged with curiosity.

Castor walked beside her, chuckling at her amazement. “The inner city’s space has always been limited, and expanding outward is expensive. Instead, the city planners decided to build upward. Most of these structures are older than both of us put together.”

“That’s incredible…” Vaila trailed off, staring at the stone facades, each etched with carvings and ornate details.

“They’ve also reserved the villas for visiting nobles, ambassadors, and dignitaries,” Castor continued, gesturing toward the luxurious mansions dotting the horizon. “Apart from the Duke’s palace, his family’s estate, and housing for high-ranking officials, almost no one lives here permanently.”

As they passed rows of two-story shops, Castor pointed them out. “

    Vaila lay on the altar, staring blankly at the stone ceiling as Janice moved her hands slowly over her body. A soft, bluish light glowed from Janice’s palms, tracing over Vaila like a searchlight uncovering hidden truths.Janice let out a quiet sigh. “It’s worse than I thought,” she murmured, her voice tinged with regret.Vaila turned her head, eyes wide. “So you can’t help me?” Her chest tightened, the faint hope she had clung to starting to crumble. She hadn’t allowed herself to dream of a miracle, but Janice’s earlier confidence had given her a sliver of optimism. Now, it felt like it was slipping away.“I can help,” Janice said, hesitating. “But not as easily as I’d hoped. Your condition is... unique.”Vaila sat up, swinging her legs over the side of the altar. “Unique?” she asked, her voice trembling. “What does that mean?”Janice offered a sympathetic smile, brushing a lock of white hair from Vaila’s face. “It means you’re special. Extremely rare, actually. Your condition stems

    "Xara!" Voices rang out, panic evident as she staggered back, coughing blood from the backlash of her failed attack.She wiped her mouth and gritted her teeth, glaring at the Grykell. Her eyes burned with power, activating her Death Gaze. The monster flinched, its glowing eyes dimming, and a crack appeared in its helmet like a glass splintering under pressure.“It’s too strong,” Xara admitted, her voice tight with frustration. “I can’t finish it off without weakening it first.”The Grykell roared, shaking the ground. A wave of dark energy exploded from its body, sending a gust of icy wind that forced the team to stumble backward.“We’ll handle it,” Orthur said, h

Not all Mental types could pull it off, but most could.Talon paused after a few steps. Orthur, walking ahead, turned back."Let’s go," he said.Talon shook his head. "I’ll stay behind, to make sure it doesn’t wake up."Orthur raised an eyebrow. "We don’t have time for that. How long do you think you can hold it?"Talon understood what Orthur was asking: how long he could keep fighting the creature in the mental world. He smiled. "As long as it wants."Orthur hesit

    Gren’s voice broke the silence. “There’s a false wall here.” He pointed to a section of the cave wall, his finger steady.Without wasting a second, Jefor stepped forward. His palm shot out, and with a forceful push, the wall shattered, turning into sand. Beyond it, another tunnel appeared.The group didn’t hesitate. They quickly moved into the new passage. The air grew colder as they advanced, and this tunnel looked much older than the last. The walls were jagged and rough, worn down by time. Another ball of fire shot ahead, lighting the way. In less than two minutes, they reached a large cavern.It was massive, about 50 square meters in size. Moss and glowing crystals lit the space, making it look as bright as day.Talon’s eyes locked

    Magnus didn’t flinch when the attack hit him. Ash covered his chest, but his smile only grew wider. “Good! You want a fight? Then come on!” he yelled, his voice full of crazy energy.His body shifted, freezing into a solid mass of ice, the kind that looked like it could withstand any blow. He darted back into the dust storm, just as Brythan was thrown out of it. Brythan landed hard, his body twitching and shaking, clearly still reeling from the lightning that had slammed into him during his fight with the goblin.The goblin leader was quick. A ghostly gate opened behind him, pulling him toward it with a strange suction force. But instead of retreating, the goblin shot forward like a bolt of lightning, streaking toward Xara. In the blink of an eye, it slammed a lightning-charged fist straight at her head.

    Reborn with the Strongest System   Chapter 1: Rainy, Bloody Night

    Rainy nights shrouded the world in darkness, a veil many found unsuitable for a hunt. Yet, for those who thrived in the cover of night, it was an ideal time. The Verdant Brothers, led by the formidable Eren ‘Sun Fire,’ were a renowned team of adventurers capable of tackling the most suicidal quests. When they posted a notice at the Adventurer Guild seeking a porter, Talon seized the chance, believing he could earn guild merits without facing much danger under their protection.He was gravely mistaken.Panting behind his shield, Talon winced as blood dripped from his broken arm. His shield, now a warped mess, had partially fused with his left hand from Eren's fiery attacks. The other team members watched, their eyes glinting with amusement, some even laughing at his plight. Anger and helplessness churned within him.Just half an hour earlier, they had been escorting a treasure-laden caravan from Fort Avarack in the Lupin Mountain Range to Ironflower Duchy under the Duke's request.

    The ground was cold and hard against Talon's cheek. Slowly, he opened his eyes to find himself lying face down on a stony floor. Groaning, he sat up, a fleeting memory of Eren’s fiery attack flashing through his mind.“How am I still alive?” He inspected his body in disbelief. His broken arm and mangled hand were completely healed. His clothes, once charred and tattered, were restored as if nothing had happened.'But where is this?'The surroundings were unfamiliar. Darkness enveloped him, save for a single beam of light illuminating his position. The stone floor felt alien, unlike anything he’d ever seen or touched.“Hello?”A synthetic voice responded, echoing in the emptiness. "Welcome to the Interdimensional Bazaar, where infinite realities meet."Talon staggered backward in shock. “Who’s there? Show yourself!” he demanded, his hands instinctively raised."I am the Admin, the consciousness of the Interdimensional Bazaar. I cannot manifest myself for your own good."The voice was e

    Vaila and Castor made their way back toward the inn, her basket now filled with the few essentials she had managed to buy. The streets were busy as always, with merchants shouting to advertise their goods and children running between stalls, laughter echoing.Suddenly, the sharp crack of a whip cut through the air, followed by a woman’s scream.“Get out of the way, you damn peasants!” A guard’s voice bellowed, full of authority and disdain.The chaos that followed was instant. People scrambled to clear the road as a dozen mounted Holy Knights galloped through the street, their white robes and gleaming steel armor making them impossible to miss. The emblem of rolling hills and wheat ears marked their allegiance to the Holy Mother Church.Though they were called Holy Knights, they weren’t Awakened. They were regular men, hired muscle glorified by the church’s title.Vaila and Castor, caught off guard, were too slow to react. A whip lashed out, narrowly missing Vaila as Castor pushed her

    As the storm raged in the Mental Plane, Talon watched in panic as a fork of lightning arced toward his mind island.“Yes! Yes! Take the Karma!” he shouted desperately, hands shaking.— Processing…The lightning slammed into an invisible barrier above his island and dissolved into harmless sparks.— Karma balance sufficient. Wish granted.A deafening thunderclap shook the entire plane, followed by a blinding golden light slicing through the tsunami surrounding his mind island. Talon shielded his eyes, but through his fingers, he caught glimpses of the surreal figures hidden in the storm—the Neophages. The light touched them, and they dissolved, fleeing or disintegrating in an instant.“What the…?” Talon stammered, lowering his arm.— Neophages eradicated.The sky cleared as the chaotic sea settled. Peace returned to the Mental Plane.A notification popped into his mind, accompanied by the familiar chime:[Notice: -20 Karma. -5000 System Coins.]“What?!” Talon’s jaw dropped. “Coins too?
