Sasha winterchild roamed on the newly condensed ice cap atop the ravines. The ice was made with her ability, thus, compared to frozen lakes and rivers, it’s more clear. She could see the picture underneath the ice floor, full of black and red dots. All the sewage of the Strongfort is guided to the deepest point of the ravine. God knows what the warm temperature did to it, but one fine day, an explosion happened in the ravine. After that, like magic, few of the walls were lit with eternal fire. Sasha wondered what in the world happened there. Eventually, it’s mage Aberdeen who made a reasonable explanation, though Sasha thought it was bonkers. The sewage chambers under strongfort were natural caves, which are kind of connected to each other but not to the hot springs. This way, these sewage caves ran all the way down to the lava river flowing under the ravine. When heated in vacuum, the excrement degenerated, creating a flammable gas. The explosion broke the outlets of these g
Treasure hunting in endless ocean To the other side
Neil and Adele kept up a schedule of checking on the I-hole. It looked like two tornadoes fused to each other, with their wide mouths opening out into the sea. At times, just like tornados, some of the miscellaneous objects caught by the tornadoes fall into the eye. During normal times, they got expelled out of the hole just like the salt lotuses that Neil throws down the hole. This was such a periodically occurring phenomenon, Morgana and Merlin stand on watch trying to play a game of catch. Merlin is responsible for catching stuff that falls down outside the I-hole, while Morgana plays a reverse game of shooting the bubble. Instead of shooting bubbles, she shot a bubble, catching the stuff that was about to fall back inside the I-hole only to bounce back up. After a few bounces, either the object is completely destroyed, or falls somewhere on the I-hole, becoming part of its icewalls once more. However, now, all of a sudden, the bouncing stuff stopped. As Neil had taught them,
Treasure hunting in endless ocean First contact
Adele stopped the barrier shield. The next moment, she flew up at incredible speed, using all of her mana, towards the precipice. This is a gamble.Such flying uses enormous amounts of mana. So much so, it could very well leave her without the life saving ten percent. However, both her siblings would live for sure. The moment Adele’s foot landed on ice, she summoned Neil. Neil fell down with the shoes with soles shredded into pieces. Neil was in a daze even after he was saved for a while. “Aua..ahahhhhas.dahahhh….” he came to the real world with a shout. He patted his hands and feet, especially his feet which are about to get frostbite. Adele’s mana is down to the last dreg now. Morgana was hugging her scared, while Merlin’s eyes were shining like he had a revelation about the universe. “ I am not a Harrison pancake ! “ he exclaimed. Adle could not help but giggle at his silliness. “ Get me into a house “ Adele commanded, before passing out. Thankfully, Neil had the assem

They both caught sight of the purple cockroach leather that covered their sleigh.Neil’s party’s sleigh is pretty small, made of metal and the leather is used to make the overhead covering, including part of the sides. The Drow sleigh’s are simply uncut purple cockroach leather folded into different shapes to make both seats and covers. They both looked at the item and they both realized that the other party was the one who sold the items they kept buying. The drows chattered excitedly. Adele’s impressive plethora of languages are not at hand, because sage was put into another body. Nemo was still touring the terrain. Even if the fish comes back fast enough, it will still take an hour. After some time, the drows parted to let Orion walk up to Neil. The drows were blue in color, were from eight to ten foot tall, and had polkadot-like spots on their bodies. The color of these spots usually indicated their element. Orion’s own is a sparkling silver, while others ranged from black
Treasure hunting in endless ocean Adele meets sage
Neil was very surprised at Sage’s behavior. Sure, she had always felt a little off, a little too robotic. Seems like a fanatic. Since they have not touched her inverted scale, they did not find it. “ How are you going to fight a starbeast ? you have neither mana, nor physical prowess. “ Neil said sarcastically. Sage stayed silent. “ She’s not much of an adviser. “ a voice sounded from behind Neil. Neil whirled around. He did not want adele to see that he had awoken Sage. “ Why did you try to kill me ? I thought we were close. We are closer than .. ‘ a mother and .. daughter’. “ Adele spat out the last words with a sob. “ Believe me, Adele Young ! I have loved you like a daughter. However, nothing could be more important guarding the hope of the new generation. When I die, so will the knowledge I possess. I can not take the chance of such a thing to happen. “ Sage refuted. Adele looked on at her in shock.“ So you tried to kill me for the betterment of the world ? “ Adele spat
Treasure hunting in endless ocean Barrier - Every thing becomes calm
With the winter cleaning, the mood in the castle seems to have changed overnight. It seems the cleaning had been the necessary outlet for most of the servants and folks who were stuck in Strongfort through the rule of Flayers. While only the main gate hoisted the flag of Winterchildren, today, the entire throne room is bedecked with hanging banners with the Winterchild insignia. Sasha decided to melt all the gold, silver and steel belonging to Flayers, to get ready for the winter plowing. Sitting on the elderwood throne, she had an epiphany. In winter, to survive is to win. A thousand swords could not win a dragon. A thousand dragons could not raise a single crop. She has a thousand grievances against Cortana Lustre, half as many with Olivia Harvest. Looking at the men and women puttering about the great hall, Sasha wondered, just how many of them lost family members to Raul’s campaign ? Would they have gone through this bitter experience had their fathers, husbands and broth
Treasure hunting in endless ocean The emotional entanglement
Adele looked at him with blazing eyes. “ Adele Young ! You have lost your reserve. I have lost my shyness. Do you think we would have talked to each other even on prom night ? “ Neil asked her. Adele calmed down. She probably wouldn’t. As much as she would like to say she never discriminated against another, she would not have freely made the choice of going to Neil. Why ?! The answer is simple. Because he is from the other side of the track. Neil is an orphan. His uncle is a blue collar worker. Like the purest heroines of teen movies, she had never ever thought about such things at all - is something of a lie. For Adele, her social network is something she built against her taste for sheer profit. She is everyone’s best friend, but no one is her best friend. She wanted Neil to be her best friend, but … he is from the other side of the track was the least of the problems she had. He was an honors student. He was a track athlete, he is part of the chess club, he appreciat
Treasure hunting in endless ocean the investigation
Neil was shocked at Sage’s words. He did not think of this twist. He read the information that the race of Sage, the Bee masters have something similar to a hive mind. For the first time in his life, Neil learned one should never ever try to get involved with fights between women. All anime and movies are wrong. What ‘ I have always thought of you as best friend ‘ and ‘ I loved you most in the world ‘ ? Real life cat fights are scary and most definitely not his forte. Moreover, despite this being an Isekai, he is not in an anime hero position. There are thousands of people around ! It is going to be very much the same as the real world when he actually gets out. For now, though, he will shut up and let the two women duke it out. He just walked back , settled down with twizzlers. Adele’s hands moved faster than Sage’s mana. Sage screamed. A glowing white light exited from Sage. [ Your partner Saintess Adele Young passes on a sleeping soul to you. ] A message showed up in

Reborn Drows
While Adele and Neil were discussing these details, Orion and his subjects were busy as bees. The flame crystals brought back by Neil had been handed over to the Drow king. At the time, the most vibrant flame crystal was placed in a cradle, in the center of an altar. Five Drows surrounded the altar, looking at the circle pointedly. Orion stood in the head position, the five Drows started chanting. After a time, the Drows stopped chanting and looked at the center, where a flame crystal was placed. Their eyes are full of expectation. Nothing happened. The light of hope in their eyes dimmed at the result. Their gazes turned to Orion, as if asking if they should continue. “ Continue. “ Orion ordered. The king looked on emotionlessly, despite the turmoil going on inside his head. Orion’s newly acquired ‘King’ title is not steady yet. Most of the old leaders did not agree to support Neil, but Orion just pushed it through, by the virtue of providing food and a safe place for Drows.

Barrier - Peace
Sasha woke up quite late. she was lying on the furs in front of fireplace, like a kitten. She hadn't slept this well for a long while. It’s almost like a dream. Perhaps it was, given Adele was standing in the corner, staring straight at Sasha. Sasha wondered why she was able to sleep this well in the middle of a battle field. The answer was surprisingly simple. Because she was surrounded by family, and friends. Valerie fought with her life on line to protect Sasha, despite being a Snorc. Dan … he smelt like home. There are no other words for it. He was her only family, until Rudy arrived here, and probably would be her only light, when the world becomes cold and dark. Dan and Valerie's predictions about Snorc peace treaty being a ruse came true. Even so, the Snorc attack came far too fast. So much so, the defense could not even gather compleetely. Dan’s arm is still holding hers as woke. He held her hand on one side, and the hilt of the sword on the other side. W

The smallest crack
Neil’s heart filled with unspeakable dread when he looked at the invisible shield membrane slowly covering up the temple. Every cell of his body rejected that shield with all of its being. Neil acted involuntarily. “ Retreat ! “ he screamed at the top of his lungs. His desire to take every last one of the elves with him powered his next spell. ‘ Collect ‘ Neil commanded with all of his being. His magic exploded, pulling all the nearby flame crystals, every last one of the flames whooshed out, becoming a red crystal as they rushed towards Neil. Neil, with Merlin on his back, rushed as fast as he could towards the portal that’s becoming unclear by the second. The space has become destabilized, and the time space continuum broke as the shield continued to cover the flame temple. The black flame in front of the priest is still burning, the remaining four Tomoe of the flames are still alit, but all the other flames are gone. It’s only then Neil understood the scale of

Neil retrieved his spear, changed it into a chinese slaughterer broadsword, with about three foot pole and one and half foot blade. He twirled the blade slightly, the necks of three priests were cut off. [ Experience + 5 ] [ Experience + 5 ] [ Experience + 5 ] At the same time, Merlin was not silent. He stabbed a priest, then twirled and beheaded another. [ Experience + 10 ] The message popped up. Like that, Neil and Merlin danced in the courtyard. After their decimation of fifty priests, the priests ran away, and grouped together among them. They went for the necklaces of the fire priests, coalescing the necklaces with their own. “ Merlin ! Collect the red necklaces. “ Neil commanded. The next moment, the mana blade in Merlin’s hands vanished. He stuck to Neil’s back, while Neil cut off the head, Merlin collected the necklace. They worked tirelessly, decimating the priests. However, there was no end to them. “ Blluuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrroooo

Event Dungeon begins
While setting up camp meat just retrieving their modular home for Neil and Adele, it meant something far more complex for Drows. All the space mancers came together with their latest catch of space crystals. Then, they set up a hexagonal space barrier around a gigantic field, isolating the space from the time worm. Cosmos gave an unnecessarily long explanation, which could be summarized into ‘ this way, we don’t get sucked into the time worm’s belly accidentally ‘. The memories are cut off when Caspian and Xena enter the temple - however, at this point, Neil has come to a conclusion about one thing. They never entered the time worm’s inside. They only fought in an ephemeral space that reflected the fire temple, they did not go inside the fire temple exactly. However, the things he had in his hands are real. In Particular, land tokens have come up with real land. That means only one thing. That the real land tokens are still out there for him to grab. On top of that, he has s

Xena did not explain her intention. Obviously Caspian spent the entirety of the next hour in confused anticipation, while everyone around him laughed at him knowingly. Xena finished her selection of fabrics. She ordered another set for Caspian himself, this time, in yellow and black, with a symbol of a bull. The next announcement came after an hour. All the participants of the spring fair contest are called to a venue. There are multitudes of fabrics, clay, metal pieces, even silver, gold and gems on various tables. On the other side, there are various tools, for making pottery, for making jewelry and various other items. “ Valkyrie had long been known as the city of the craftsmen.

“ Ladies and Gentlemen of Valkrie ! Welcome andddddddddd… .Welcome to the sixteenth sprint fair of lover’s paradise. As always, your response has been more than hot ! This time, for the first time in the history of lover’s paradise, we meet the numbers needed for the seven trials of the couples. Without further ado, let us start the treasure hunt of the lovers. The first challenge in the game is to know how much your lover knows you. On my right side, there are cabins. Our lovely ladies will stand in the pink chair, our handsome men will sit in the blue chairs. “ The host went on to explain they would be answering three questions. As long as answers sync, the couple passes. “ What’s your man’s name ? “ they asked. “ Caspian Hart “ Xena answered, so did Caspian. What’s your girl’s name ? “ was the next question. They obviously are doing this to filter off the random game breakers from entering the game. “ Xena winter child “ Both of them answered at the same time. “ Where did

“ Hey! Stop laughing at me, you moron. “ Xena ordered Caspian bossily. “ I am not laughing at you. I am just happy we both lived till today. “ Caspian said, chortling with laughter. The words brought a hard stop to the amusement of Nadia and Tara, while Xena shared his happiness. “ Indeed ! We still have today.” Xena said, sitting down at the edge of Caspian’s bed. To be truthful, it is quite amazing. They were thrown out of the capital city in a time of strife, walked through five battles, and countless skirmishes. They crossed the sea ! Then they went to institutions which require one to be beholden to them until death, yet, they both are sitting here, free!It is nothing short of a miracle. They have dodged death by a hair’s breadth a thousand times. They have overcome insurmountable odds. “ Oh ! Stop laughing, you idiot ! She's not joking. “ Xena said, referring to Nadia. “I am not sleeping with anyone save my wife. “ Caspian answered Nadia after he got control on his ow

“ Caspian Hart ! You moron ! You stupid imbecilic idiotic jarhead ! “ Xena exclaimed, as she threw her hands on his neck. “ Hey! What’s with the over reaction ! I did not die ! “ Caspian mumbled, a hand rubbing soothingly on Xena’s back. Xena stopped crying after some time. Caspian held her lightly, enjoying the rare instances where Xena actually shows some emotion. “ What day is it ? “ he asked, after Xena pulled back from him. “ You still have the gall to ask for the day ! It's the thirtieth day after the valhallan new year. “ Xena told him. “ it’s .. My god ! Was I asleep for ten days ? “ Caspian asked in shock. “ How many days did you think it was ? “ Xena asked him angrily. “ Just .. Right after the woman in red left. She was so scary. “ Caspian exclaimed. “ Woman in red ? Madea ? “ Xena asked, an ominous feeling rising in her heart. Caspian shook his head. “ The other one. The whining fire spirits wanted her to submit to them. She ate them all ! I hid because I was a
