‘I don’t get this.’Jason closed the book he was reading since he failed to concentrate. He looked at Hanna, who was playing with Nyx in the garden. He spent the last two weeks researching various magic patterns of different spheres, and he slowly tried his best to circulate cosmic power through nodes in these patterns to find the magic he could use.Rest of the time he stayed either making magic scrolls and runes or playing with Hanna. Other than that, he took Amelia and Hanna on strolls around the city and wrote things he learned on planet Colmar. He spent time discussing these things with Amelia and chatting with her when they both had nothing to do. Amelia spent time with Hanna in Master Merlin’s house when he was in the wizard tower, and she trained Butch and others in combat. She also started refining some things he wrote, and they both decided to hold off training Hanna for another year. She was still young, and it felt unnecessary to burden her with training when they coul
“Daddy, where is this?”Hanna looked out of the window of the moving carriage with worried eyes. She held Nyx in one hand and latched on to her mother’s neck with the other.Everything looked so beautiful outside the carriage. There were beautiful lights, beautiful fountains, and even beautiful decorations. Even though it was night, she felt everything looked even better than the daytime.The enormous building she saw on the side was colourful and appealing.The only problem she had was the people. There were so many of them walking along the road in the same direction as them. They all wore beautiful clothes, but there were too many of them. The uncles who kept other people away from her, mommy, and daddy didn’t come with them today. She felt nervous, even though she liked everything else about that night.“That is the palace. You know… The place where the king lives.”“Oh… the palace.”It piqued her interest when she thought about the stories her daddy told. She wondered if there w
“Meow!”Nyx forgot all about food when she felt how nervous her master was. She looked at all the humans, feeling the urge to kill them all. Her little master feared them, and she thought of getting rid of them.“Nyx!”“Meow!”She curled in her master’s embrace when she heard the forceful but low voice. It was her master’s mother and her friend’s woman, the scary woman who wanted to kill her before.“She is strong. She can handle this.”“Meow!”Ever since she made a contract with her master, Nyx understood their language. She knew what her master’s mother was talking about and didn’t want to argue with her. She snuggled against her master, trying to comfort her as much as possible.‘Weak humans.’She loathed these weaklings who troubled her master. …“So, that is Jason Hope.”“Yes, Your Majesty. And that is his woman, Grandmaster Amelia, and their adopted child, Hanna. She has cursed pupils.”“He seemed to be out of place. Or is it that he simply doesn’t care? His woman seemed to be
‘Sigh. Is it simply because of the physical contact?’ Amelia kept her eyes on Jason as she nuzzled Hanna’s head. “Excuse me!” “Hm?” She looked at the few women who came to their table. They all looked young and immature, but their clothing look expensive. Amelia felt Hanna putting her little arms around her neck when the strangers came to their table. “Hello, my name is Sally Dilaver. I am the daughter of the Dilaver family. These are my friends….” Amelia reacted little as the young woman who spoke to her first did the introduction. “I am Amelia Irwin.” She rarely used her family name when she did an introduction. Here, her family name might mean nothing, but her family had enough influence to make people tremble in fear. “He… Hello, I am Hanna Irwin Hope. I am mommy and daddy’s daughter.” Hanna shyly whispered, trying to hide her face in her mother’s embrace. She always wanted to remind everyone that she had a family and that her mommy and daddy were there for her. After h
“Your Majesty. This is Novice Wizard Jason.” “Wizard Jason, have a seat.” “Thank you, Your Majesty.” Jason didn’t feel bothered by the unceremonial greetings of the king. He never cared for those things as long as no one got in his way. Jason sat in her seat and looked at the twenty or so nobles sitting in a circle. “Wizard Jason Hope. You are the most famous immortal alien in all of Alexandria.” “I don’t say I am that famous, Your Majesty. There are some idiots who think they can run all over me because I am not from this world. They seem to be interested in making me famous for just no reason. I really hope there are no more fools like that.” He answered back with a carefree attitude and ignored the tense atmosphere that appeared with his words. “Tower Master Celestina.” Jason gave an acknowledging nod to the tower master of Heaven’s Reach. “Thank you for inviting me to the banquet, Your Majesty. I am honoured to be here. Did you invite me for anything special?” He felt
“Mhm… Daddy.”“Meow!”Hanna fell asleep while they were on the way back, and Jason carried her to the bed. The banquet didn’t last any longer after Nyx almost destroyed the hall with her massive body. “They are no longer here.”Jason looked into the dark, failing to feel the people who followed them before. He wondered if they stopped following them after they entered the palace or after his outburst inside the palace.“There is a building, one and a half kilometres to that way. They are all inside that. There are three other suspicious men outside.”Amelia pointed her hand south. She looked calm, and there was no trace of anger or pain in her voice.“Eh… Are you angry?”Jason whispered, looking over Hanna at the woman who lay on the other side of the bed.“Me? I thought you were angry. Aren’t you having trouble keeping your head down?”Amelia raised her head in amusement.“I am not angry. I am just worried about Hanna. We don’t have any reliable guards. I mean….”Jason knew he coul
“I am here to meet the temple master.”Jason walked directly into the Temple of Justice and spoke to the young girl, who wore a white uniform that looked like a priestess’s robe. As the name implies, one could imagine the environment in this place. It was a pleasant place with clean surroundings. The pure-white building had the usual dome-shaped roof of any other Temple of Justice and there was the mark of a scale with two swords crossing over it. Other than the two guards at the entrance, there were no other visible guards, but Jason felt many hidden presences and some powerful spell traps in the hall.This was an organisation that believed in justice and power. An organisation once started by an infamous Grand Wizard centuries ago. They operated similarly to an adventurer guild, but all the missions issued by the Temple of Justice were missions benefiting the people. Also, they issued bounties for criminals. As an organisation situated all over the world, the Temple of Justice ser
“Really? Nobody is going to open the door? Sigh.”Jason knocked on the door a couple of times, but he got no response from the other side. “Oh! Now you are coming! It is too late.”Jason shook his head when he felt someone approaching the door. The other party was one man he marked from last night, and he had nothing to hold back. The only reason he hesitated so far was what the old man had told him before. If the family who used to live here were still alive, he didn’t want to harm them. However, after encountering the Will of God so many times in his past life, he knew there was almost no chance of those people being alive.He raised his foot and delivered a crushing kick to the middle of the door. The old door couldn’t handle his speed and power, and it shattered into pieces instead of breaking. His leg went right through and connected with the man who was at the door.“My bad! I am having a hard time controlling my strength these days.”Jason walked into the house in lazy step
