Day 1: Depart from the northern city, passing through rolling hills dotted with small villages. Stop for the night at a rustic inn on the edge of the forest.
Day 2: Continue through dense, mist-filled forests. Cross over several fast-flowing rivers via narrow stone bridges. Set up camp for the night in a meadow surrounded by tall trees.

New Intro segment, from chapter 120
“What are you so afraid of, boy? You dare come all the way to me and then still dare to feel terror?” asks the distorted shadow, sitting on a throne of bones.
He lifts his sword, pointing it at the monster. “I’m not afraid of you.”

It is, according to the rules of the spiritual principality of man, insufficient if one simply exists in the comfort of vague idleness. In the minds of the philosophers and esoterics of our world, the human spirit is bred by the gods themselves to always grow — to consume the fuel of life as if it were a burning flame. We must always strive toward a greater peak, aim toward a hig...

In the dim and distant past, when there were no mortal civilizations of note on the world and the sun still shone brightly, the entire planet was illuminated by its radiance in an untouched, unquestioned way. It was a time of plenty and expansion, when both the land and its inhabitants were thriving and bountiful. However, one day, without any prior notice, the sun suddenly disappe...

Living in a city inhabited by humans is extremely hazardous and terrible for fairies, yet they have little say in the matter. These teeny-tiny, fragile beings, ranging to about the size of a potion bottle, are not designed to survive in the harsh and merciless environment of the urban landscape. They face a persistent risk to their health on account of the city's loud noises and br...

Dear Diary,
I can't believe what happened last night. I snuck out to the forest to practice archery like I do every night, and I saw something move in the shadows. I thought it was a monster, and I panicked. I grabbed my bow and shot an arrow without thinking.
And then I saw him. The boy from the academy, lying on th...

There are many labels for the champions of this world, titles bestowed by society as a whole, if not by the system, bestowed upon us by the gods. Titles are things that augment a person’s class and are gained by performing spectacular feats that are far above the norm.

All throughout the world, where dark things slumber in the forgotten corners of the old places — the deep forests, the locked off caves, the peaks of mountains never scaled by the likes of men in their multiplicity — all of these places rest in an anxious slumber, the wild-monsters of the world watching with curious eyes the change of human behavior in these recent times.

The harrowing rain hammers down around him, soaking his fur and his hair. Taishi-shi stands firm in the storm, looking out into the downpour that hides the lands of his home behind a black veil.

The world was once a great unknown. In times before the wildlands were mapped, before the oceans were crossed, before the mountains were climbed, and before the deep caves were plundered, those who would leave the comforts and safety of the towns and villages to cross, explore, and delve into these places were given the title of ‘adventurers’.

It lives amongst us, the monster with too many faces. It is grotesque and twisted and takes on as many shapes as it has eyes, teeth, and mouths — all in overabundance. Its body seems to contract inwardly and outwardly as it shambles; its meat is dense and supple, rippling as the many marrow-filled bones beneath it move in ambling coordination.
