"Hwaaa-" Alph let out a small yawn, his eyes slowly opening as the morning light seeped through the curtains, casting a glow in the fancy room.Pushing his arms over his head for a stretch, Alph climbed out of bed and picked up the porcelain jug and poured himself a glass of water.He emptied the glass in a few gulps, the cool sensation of the liquid gushing down his dry throat driving away the last bits of his sleepiness.To his surprise, Alph had a fantastic night's sleep with no signs of a headache or anything. He felt calm and relaxed, his mind was tranquil and peaceful.Walking towards the large window, he opened the curtains and peered outside.The mansion's garden stretched out before his eyes, bustling with servants tending to various tasks like watering the plants, trimming the grass, and cleaning the pathways.Alph noticed two men in armors, swords hanging from their waists, engaged in conversation. They appeared to be the mansion's guards.Suddenly, one of the guards, a bur
"Haah!" Alph sighed, feeling a bit drowsy.He had been in the library for hours, continuously reading and absorbing knowledge of this world.Carefully putting a bookmark on the book he was reading, which was titled "History Of Major Events In Veratus 1", Alph put down the book on the desk.The book was a timeline compilation of all the major events and incidents that had taken place in the continent of Veratus throughout the known history.Apparently it was just 1 of a series of 10, and it was already as thick as any chunky dictionary from Earth.There were all sorts of incidents recorded in it, from rise and fall of powerful and mysterious organizations or individuals to wars that ravaged the continent for years."This world doesn't seem very peaceful..." Was what Alph came to conclude.Unlike his previous world, wars broke out quite often here and even when there were no wars, skirmishes and small scale battles were a common occurance.It was a world where the adege "Survival Of The
"T-This, what's all this?" Alph looked through his profile, feeling confused.It was completely different from the way the Grimoire Of Gluttony displayed the information, which Alph had yet figured out.But what caught his attention the most was the last paragraph, "Special Condition?"*The Holy Blade Of Sacrifice is one of Dane's special skills so this means that he has used that skill two times on me and with two different sacrifices...*Alph didn't know how he should feel about it, Dane was just looking out for his safety and the skill explicitly stated that the sacrifice must agree for the skill to work, how had Dane persuaded someone to throw away their life? And who were the sacrifices?Also the last special condition seemed a bit concerning, normally otherworlders were granted special perks but there were only question marks about it, Alph didn't know if it was beneficial or harmful.*There's no use me sulking over it, I'll find out sooner or later*Right now, he was more conce
"Her full name is Elizabeth Eris Lane. She hails from a noble family but her father was accused of blasphemy by the Church of Vallan for preaching the teachings of a different religion in his territory," Dane started to recount her past."He and all of his sons were publicly executed by the Church's Inquisitors and Elizabeth and her mother were sold into slavery. Soon her mother died and she has since lived a life of a lowly slave, being passed from one master to another," He continued, his voice as cold as ever."I bought her off from her previous master, I deemed that her broken spirit would be far easier to tame," Dane concluded, as if he wasn't talking about a human being but a pet.Alph was silent, normally his reaction would have been of anger and disgust but right now, he didn't feel anything.*It's not like Dane did anything wrong, her life was already doomed. If anything he might have saved her* Alph thought.*Anyways, what's all this about Dane becoming a Saint?* Alph drove a
"We are in the town of Ruid, Master," Dane spoke while still in a bowing position."Town of Ruid... I guess it wasn't a dream then." Alph massaged his sore templeds, his thoughts slowly getting back on track.He looked around at the luxurious room, feeling inexplicably uncomfortable, Alph asked, "I guess a lot happened while I was knocked out.""Yes Master, you were unconscious for 26 days and in your absence I did my utmost to gather information and build a position in the town. Right now I hold a very high status as a Saint," Dane replied."A Saint?" Alph only got more confused.It seemed like Dane's character development had greatly boosted his powers, it was good that Dane had obtained a high status in the town but Alph was still somewhat numb.He hadn't been in this world for long and he had already nearly died, not to mention lost all of the friends he had just made.Dak!Dak!"Dane-" Just as Alph was about to ask another question, someone knocked on the bedroom door."Did you c
The town of Ruid was a bustling town. Although it was labeled a town, it rivaled cities in population and prosperity.Located right beside the Great Forest Of Lumina, Ruid was an ideal location for adventurers and the likes and there was no lack of opportunities in the town.With a history dating back to times even preceding the kingdom itself, Ruid held the distinction of being a Royal Town. As such, it wasn't under the territory of a noble or a lord but instead came directly under the royalty.It was a town of high status and importance and it didn't have any lack of wealthy individuals hence the town had a separate area for them called the Noble District.The Noble District was a symbol of luxury and grandeur. It was a neighborhood that was exclusively reserved for the town's most prosperous citizens.The streets here were wide and clean and adorned with elegant lamp posts that cast a warm glow on the surroundings. Lush trees lined the pavements, adding a touch of greenery and seren
Four days later something strange happened, the Grimoire Of Gluttony which was lying on the ground near Alph suddenly started floating and opened up by itself.It flipped to Dane's page and a strange mix of golden and red light burst out from it, materializing into the figure of a man before solidifying as, the now vastly different from before, Dane.He wore an exquisite white suit with golden and red embroideries.His white hair and aged face had an extremely holy and noble aura about them making him look like a dignified saint."Master...." He looked at the petrified Alph and anger flashed in his eyes.He quickly stepped in front of him and a golden knife materialized In his right hand.The golden knife had an exquisite appearance and it was overflowing with holy aura.He gripped the knife tightly and stabbed it into Alph's chest.The stone surface didn't pose any hindrance to the knife and it easily pierced through.Not stopping there, he summoned another golden knife and this time
Alph Played around with the grimoir for a while before preparing to sleep.Tomorrow they would be leaving the forest and arriving at a town, he couldn't wait to see what the towns and cities in this world were like.The Draylion was already standing guard near their camp, he had ordered it to send him distress signals if it encountered anything suspicious, and after telling the Orc to stand guard near his tent and do the same Alph decided to retire for the night."Maybe we can throw a surprise party for Kane and Saila!" He was still thinking about the new couple, he wanted to congratulate them properly.He closed his eyes with such thoughts and soon he fell asleep.It was a silent night, the moon hung high and the stars shined brilliantly.In the silent and beautiful night, a short girl wearing a priestess robe was hurrying towards a certain direction.Her eyes were slightly red and tears were streaming down her face.She stopped after arriving in front of a tent, there was panick, unc
Rooaarrrr!A giant bear standing on two legs with wisps of flames covering it's body roared in pain.There was a green, glowing arrow sticking in it's left eye and greenish veins covered the left side of it's face, squirming erratically.Raiden faced against the huge bear which was more than double his already big size, there was a visible claw mark on his chest.The piece of white cloth, which was tied on his left arm, poured out a burst of white light which started to quickly heal his wounds.Bang!He gripped the silver battleaxe tightly and blocked the fiery claws of the giant bear which caused the ground around him to cave in."Haaaaaa!" Raiden roared and dense silver aura erupted from his body, temporarily increasing his strength threefold.His muscles bulged to their limit and he jerked the battleaxe against the bear's claw, causing it to be thrown back and take a few steps back, creating a split second of opening."Now!' Kane shouted from a tree with the green elven bow in his
