As Emirus walked while holding his two remaining students he received a notification from Roman, it read: "I can't get a hold of Liric, However, Ysley is in danger. He is facing an enemy from his past and due to this he will not fight back, so please. Help him."Emirus read the text in annoyance, wondering how they had known that the enemy had been fighting Ysley in the first place. He was too tired to fight again so he sent a notification to his students, wanting to promise them that if they helped they would be put at the top of the class. However, after the disaster that had just occurred, he had no intention of marching them to their deaths. However, even though he knew Liric was impulsive and indolent, he wasn't one to ignore messages that told him to help someone. In the hope that his friend would answer Emirus notified Liric of the situation and in an instant he received a message back saying: 'I'm currently pursuing a baddie from Hades, he's probably going to the Vancrest acad
For countless miles, Exodus journeyed across the desolate expanses of the outlands. His master had tasked him with a mission to seek out those yearning to shed their weaknesses, and he dedicated months to fulfilling this daunting quest. At last, he had accomplished his mission.He walked into a structure that was within the outlands, within it were hundreds of men and women who had seemed to be losing their patience."When are you going to make us demons!" One of them shouted at the top of his lungs."You've kept us here for months! What is this, some kind of scam?!"Exodus walked toward the front where Leviathan, another one of the demons had stood. "Did any more show up?" Exodus asked as he dusted his clothes."Nope," Leviathan said as he yawned. "So are actually making them demons or are we slaughtering them?""The former Leviathan. Lord Merlo wants to test if it's possible to create an evolved demon from a human." "Why, doesn't that destroy the entire purpose of our battle?" Levia
In the shadowy recesses of The Vancrest Academy, where the large dormitories stood, there existed a solemn construct known simply as the 'Skybox'. It was a place untouched by the students, a haven for the preserved remains of those who had been, until recently, alive and full of promise. It had been behind the dorms for decades and none of the students had known, that was how much nobody in the academy wanted to go there or even acknowledge its existence.On this awful day, as the sky turned darker and threatened to pour down, a deep silence fell over the crowd. A heavy sense of sadness hung in the air, almost suffocating. It was as if the rain itself understood the grief that had befallen the academy.As the rain started falling, it seemed to match the feelings of everyone there. The sky's tears mixed with the tears of the people, reminding them of the sorrow they shared. The rain washed over their heads, mingling with their own tears as they continued to weep.Among the gathered cro
Finn woke up on the shield of another adventurer, he rubbed his hand over his face and sat up, looking around at his surroundings. His memory was blurry and all he could vividly remember was being passed drinks until he passed out. "Hangoverrrr hurrtttss." He got up, stumbling until he got to a wall he could lean on."Good morning, Finn." Yelan greeted and Finn gazed at her momentarily before holding his mouth, stopping himself from puking on the ground."Hi... Yelan.""Fun night right? Martha made a decent amount as well, only the first round was free." Yelan wrote something on a piece of paper as she spoke."Is that so? I'm gonna go upstairs... the quicker I pass out... the better my well-being becomes." Finn stumbled as he walked toward Martha's bar."There are no spare rooms by the way," Yelan said as she worked. "Martha's rooms have been packed up for a while now.""Argh." Finn fell onto the floor, making inaudible noises as he did."By the way, there's a mission for you," Yelan u
Finn ran down an open path in the cave that led to where the dragon's roar had come from. He had been eager to test his abilities but as he turned a corner and saw the large beast, his previous eagerness turned into a will to run.Beneath the dragon were adventurers who fought it, and beneath the adventurers were corpses with iron plates strapped onto their chests. Finn had seen enough death in his time at the academy but it was always awful to see such a thing, despite how much he thought he had gotten used to the sight. It was just one of those things that the body would never get used to. Finn stopped in his tracks, there were a multitude of adventurers all attacking the dragon, using their spells and weapons however their attack bounced off the colossal beast like pebbles thrown at an iron wall."That's it, I'm done!" One adventurer uttered, turning back and heading toward Finn but as he made his move to retreat the dragon unleashed a fiery onslaught that burnt him down to ash in
Finn put his blade into the chest of the dragon, carving out its heart and putting it into a bag he had carried along with him."Let's introduce ourselves properly, we're Dungeon Crawl. A party of four, you already know me but I am Sophia Kingsblade, lead mage of the party and these are my party members." Sophia started."I am Ander Lagris, Knight of the group. As you saw by my earlier demonstration my strength is on par with the higher-level adventurers of the guild." Ander laughed garishly, his masculine features shining as he did."I'm Rook, Rook Withershay, I'm the secondary mage. My job is to stop and distract the enemy while Ander and Sophia deal the heavy-hitting attacks." Rook dropped his staff on the ground, wiping his face."Nice to meet you... didn't you say four? I count three. Did your fourth not come?" Finn inquired and the party looked at each other, their faces sour as they did. "He's dead." Sophia pointed toward a charred body that lay on the ground. "He was our attac
Sophia walked toward the Ianbris guild as the hot sun showered rays of its unending heat upon her, this was a few days after graduating from the academy. She had left earlier than Finn due to some complications that came with having a Pandora's Blessing.She entered the guild and held her ears, the chatter and noise being made in the guild only added to the sun-induced headache she had suffered. She walked toward the notice board, grabbing whatever quest she had seen on it before retreating onto one of the chairs in Martha's bar.As she waited for her headache to subside she heard the ramblings of three women, and once she turned to gaze at the source of the noise. It turned out they were following one particular man, who seemed to not want their attention."I have wives, ladies. I'm not searching for anymore." The man said as he backed away from the women that pursued him."C'mon don't be like that. C'mon Andy!!!" One of them screamed.He let out a nervous laugh as he mistakenly bumpe
The party walked the streets of Gales visiting countless shops and eyeing the equipment within, although Finn had agreed to sponsor today's outing some of the equipment was well above his budget."Dusk are there any stores that sell good quality stuff for a cheaper price?" Finn whispered as he walked around the store."Why do you expect me to know the layout of Gales?" Dusk sighed. "There's one near the Remnant Church." Dusk put the location onto the map and sent it directly into his vision."Thanks, Dusk." Finn smiled at the store owner before backpedaling out of the store, his party doing the same once they saw him head toward the door."At this rate do we really need new equipment? I mean sure the rune in my staff is about to break and Ander's armor is about to break into tiny pieces— okay we need it." Rook sighed as they walked."Don't sweat it, I'll handle the payments. I can't have you guys on a mission with faulty equipment." Finn made a turn on the road, passing by the Remnants
