Kyle spent the night in Cacophus’ cave again. Laying on a fur bed made specifically for him, he fell asleep immediately after placing his head on the soft pillow.
After a dreamless, refreshing sleep, he woke up. Ready and excited for his next adventure, he got dressed and left the small bedroom the Lich and his skeletons had prepared for him. He bid the Lich farewell and warned him not to go after any humans that happened to pass by, then hurried outside after a quick breakfast.
His destination was the elves’ orchard, and he was eager to meet with their leader again.
His fast paced steps carried him across the woods and over the hills as he muttered softly. “Come forth.”
He pointed on the ground ahead of him as he spoke, and a silver mist appeared there before the raven materialised. “Go on then,” He said with a smile. “Alert me of any nearby enemies or humans.” He ordered the bird.
The raven cawed twice, then with a couple of strong beats of

A gentle wind ruffled the leaves of the crystal fruit trees. Kyle listened to the elven leader’s words his mouth agape. Was this guy serious? “Would you do this for us?” The elf finished his words with a hopeful question. A notification popped up at the corner of Kyle’s eye. ‘New Quest Chain unlocked: Saving the Elven Orchard’ Kyle let out a sigh. “I will try.” He said, knowing that he definitely didn’t want to miss out on whatever rewards the quest would give. And also, because he had grown somewhat fond of the elves. “Can I take some more fruits with me when I’m done?” He asked, suddenly remembering Cacophus’ request. The elven leader chuckled. “Of course!” And just like that, Kyle found himself walking the stone paved grass that followed the deep, raging river. The elves’ request wasn’t something he thought he was easily going to be able to do, but he had an idea still. A plan, so to speak, though it relied more on luck rat
The Lich's Master Chapter 26: A Mind Fully Lost
“I’m nowhere near that level!” Igna protested. “And you’re even further! What kind of a quest is this that you got it so early? This is ridiculous!” Her voice was filled with annoyance as her eyes burnt with anger. She was still staring at the pond. “Igna, it’s been an hour.” Kyle reminded her. How long was she planning on standing there and watching the water? It wasn’t like the boss was going to just suddenly die on its own. “So what?” Igna hissed. “I need to kill that thing somehow.” Kyle shot her an odd look. “You do realise I’m the one with the quest, right? And I can just wait till I’m high enough level. There’s no need to rush.” He calmly spoke, but his words seemed to have the opposite effect on Igna. The fire in her eyes burned brightly as she looked at him, eyes wide open. “Do you have any idea how much stuff it would drop if we killed it while we’re so many levels down?” She asked, her voice filled with excit
The Lich's Master Chapter 27: A Plan That Works
“Hey!” Igna’s voice echoed across the rolling hills. Her fiery eyes were focused on the muddy, green water. “You ugly plant! Come out!” She raised her arm and threw a small, red bottle into the lake. The water’s surface rippled for a moment before a very ugly, very disgusting creature burst out of the water. It’s moss covered mouth that had no teeth, but plenty of sharp barbs opened up and caught the vial mid-air before it returned underwater. “So now what?” Kyle asked, covering his nose as the smell of moss and rot reached his nostrils. “Nothing happened.” He was standing atop the hill, while Igna was only about ten meters away from the water’s edge. His job was to fire spells, and make sure the raven didn’t mess up. Igna, on the other hand, preferred to stand at the forefront, her net in her left hand, ready to throw it. A few moments passed, then Kyle spotted a red and yellow flash inside the water, deep within the lake. Bubbles of air reached the
The Lich's Master Chapter 28: Awakened Pondweed
Everything happened so fast, he could barely follow the events. The Awakened Pondweed broke the net and freed itself from the glimmering white ropes. Igna’s eyes widened, she turned around and swung her blade while shouting a skill to protect herself. The weedy tendrils closed in on her, only to be burnt away by the flames radiating from her blade. The plant reached for the lake with its remaining tendrils and pulled itself back to the water. “Oh, come on!” Igna protested with a frustrated tone. Kyle narrowed his eyes and glared at the pond. The health bar of the Awakened Pondweed was still perfectly visible. “Wait, it didn’t reset!” He shouted, drawing a surprised glance from Igna. “Oh.” She muttered before that fiery determination returned to her eyes. “Ok then!” She ran to where the creature stood before and grabbed her somewhat torn net from the ground. She didn’t seem to care about it breaking, so Kyle also pushed it to the back of his mi
The Lich's Master Chapter 29: A Friend
‘Kyle – Lv. 25 Summoner INT 20 | WIS 17 | DEX 10 | STR 10 | CON 15 Mana:200 Available Points: 3 Skill Points: 5 Achievements: Lich Killer, Topple the Mountain Lord Player Kills: 6 Glory: 30’ Kyle grinned. “Three levels!” He exclaimed with excitement. Three levels was huge! And so was the level 25 milestone! “Nice,” Igna said with a grin. “So, you’re going full mage?” She asked then, with a thoughtful expression. Kyle shot her a quick glance and nodded. “It’s much safer to stand in the back I think.” He explained. He pondered how to allocate his three new points. “Sure, but if anything gets too close to you, you’re done for. Isn’t some more survivability also good?” She pointed at the constitution stat. “Dying in one hit would… well

“There you go!” Kyle said with a grin as he emptied the crystal fruits from his inventory to the ground. Cacophus watched his jaw open. The green glowing lights that flickered in his eyeholes burnt ever so brighter. “THANK YOU!” He exclaimed. He floated down from the air and hurried over to the fruits on the ground. “I WILL USE THEM WELL! I WILL PREPARE SOMETHING FOR YOU AS WELL!” The lich promised as he began checking every single fruit, once by one. Kyle chuckled. “I’ll let you know if I need anything. Just focus on your research for now.” He stepped towards the door. “I’m off to sleep,” “OH, KYLE, WAIT.” The Lich’s words stopped him in his tracks. “I ALMOST FORGOT. MY MINIONS SPOTTED A FEW HUMANS SNOOPING AROUND.” Kyle’s ears perked up as his heart skipped a beat. “Define ‘snooping around’” “THEY SPENT SOME TIME NEAR YOUR HOUSE, THEN PROCEEDED UPHILL. I HID THE CAVE ENTRANCE, SO THEY DIDN’T FIND THIS PLACE.” Kyle sco
The Lich's Master Chapter 31: Wolf's Howl
The elf’s words rang true in Kyle’s ears as he walked up the winding stone path. This was one of the two ways up the mountain, and the fastest path to this monster camp that was sending waves of attacks at the elven orchard. Kyle kicked a pebble to the side as he walked uphill. The sun was glaring on his back as he climbed the foothills of the mountain. The shadow of the raven circling the air high in the sky passed by him every few minutes. The bird’s existence made him feel not quite so lonely. It took him the better half of the day to reach the vicinity of the camp the elven leader had mentioned. Had there been trees like the other side of the mountain, it would have been quite the challenge to find the camp. But this side of the mountain was barren, even more so now that the Locust God’s venom had been harming the earth around the orchard. There were few plants on this side, and Kyle could easily see the camp in the distance. “Well…” He mu
The Lich's Master Chapter 32: The Fallen Knight Aoris
Her sword reflected the light of the slowly setting sun as the Fallen Knight grasped its leatherbound hilt with both hands. Her armoured gloves creaked as she did so. Kyle slowly stepped back. This was a powerful foe. He clenched his fists. “Fallen Knight!” He called out as he reached for his own sword. “I come on behalf of the Elves!” The knight’s steps did not slow down as she raised her sword. “All under the Light of the Gods must die – you serve the Elves, and I shall be your end!” Her voice radiated with power. Kyle tightened his grasp on the hilt of his straight sword. “And I will bring you back to the light.” He whispered under his breath. She was perfect! The Knight raised her blade, then dashed forward. Ever step she took was calculated, every motion she made, perfect. Her blade descended from above, and she took a step to her left, and turned her body ever so slightly to change the direction of her attack mid
