Chapter will be up tomorow.

Busy day today. Too busy! The business is coming out of my ears.

Chapter 176: Demantoid.

While I had proclaimed that I would help Emeri with her quest, in truth I wasn’t entirely sure how to feel about working with Dalius. We had only met him briefly by chance a few weeks ago and the interaction had been an uncomfortable one, to be sure.

Unfortunately, we weren’t spoiled for choice when it came to allies at the moment, since we were embarking on a quest that had no promis...

Chapter 175: The second statue.

After a bit more back and forth, it started to sink in that Emeri had, in fact, followed through on her initial plan and raided the small church, despite the fact that I had warned her not to.

“What were you thinking, Emeri? You knew that church was being closely watched!”

“I could ask you the same, Arthur! Why did you decide to explore those ruins, even when I made i...

Chapter 174: “Help with what?”

I frantically bolted through the series of corridors as more of the building was pulled into the sky above by Dalius. I was looking for cell 45, but was currently only passing cell 23. Traversing the prison, which had already been confusing enough on its own, became even more difficult when I became forced to jump from one piece of floating debris to another. By the time I finally reached cell ...

Chapter 173: Chased by time.

Another rumble shook the hallway, nearly throwing me to the ground. The stone archway finally gave out and collapsed under the weight it carried. A quick burst of aura step shot me forwards just in time, like a loosed arrow. Behind me, the rubble had already blocked the path and I knew I couldn’t waste any more time. A desperate sprint ensued. As I passed through the winding corridor, past th...

Chapter 172: That madman, Dalius.

The inquisitor held my gaze, unimpressed. “You thought to convince me with such a feeble fabrication?” he asked suspiciously.

“It’s a matter of public record! Just ask any commoner in Roa, they’ll know who I am!” I hurriedly replied, not hesitating to use one of the few advantages that my sudden bout of fame afforded me. I could only hope the people would still remember me now...

Chapter 171: Prison.

POV: Arthur

A cold gust of wind brushed against my face, stirring me awake. I found myself chained to a wall in a damp cell, with nothing but some old rags to cover me. The chains were attached to my wrist, keeping me several feet above the ground. I couldn’t help but muse that if it weren’t for my passive skills, I would be in a significant amount of pain right now. Thankfully, I was...

chapter will be uploaded tomorow.

Chapter 170: Caught.

As the invisible hand clenched around my throat tensed, I couldn’t help but curse myself. Why hadn’t I picked up on this guy’s mana signature? In fact, why was I still not picking up on it? Was he weaker than I thought?

To test my theory, I pushed against the wall to free myself while making some onyx chains distract my attacker. My chains reared up like snakes ready to strike, only...

Chapter 169: Avoiding visitors.

I breathed in deeply, taking stock of my situation. I hadn’t much time. Even if these newcomers, who had gotten their hands on the key, supposedly, took their time exploring this little village as I had, there was no assurance they wouldn’t happen across me by accident. Furthermore, I couldn’t estimate their tier from this distance, which made the threat they represented unknowable.

Chapter 168: The real ruins.

Mentally, I had aimed for a spot on the other side of the gate. The fact that I could see through the bards of the gate made it easier to visualise where I was trying to end up and a split second later, my vision returned to me as I reformed on the other side.

As I had expected, the creator of that gate had foreseen such an eventuality, because before I could even catch my bearings, nearl...

1 day delay.

You guys know the deal. See you tomorrow!

Chapter 166: Queue

I shuffled another step forward, watching as the queue continued to shorten person by person. After my fight with Emeri, my initial guilt had turned into anger. ‘So what if she thought the ruin exploration quest was dangerous? Compared to her quest of heresy, this would be a cakewalk!’

Or so I had convinced myself. I was quickly coming to regret that thought, though. Already, the frus...

Chapter 165: Lacking guidance.

It took a few days for Emeri and me to finally find the church we had been looking for. Agratos had many places of worship, foremost among which was a large cathedral that was only accessible to respected citizens of the city. Rich folk, in other words. A shame, really, because it was quite an impressive building.

When we had arrived at its location near the city’s largest square, Emeri...

Chapter 164: Agratos.

The next morning, I woke up and found Emeri’s bed empty. After some panicked searching, I found her atop the rock formation under which the cave rested. The sun was rising on the horizon, lighting up the vast savannah with its orange brilliance.

Dry, yellow grass… low-hanging trees, and great herds of animals traveling from one spring to the next. It was a magnificent sight. The most ...

1 day delay.

As the title says. Things got pretty busy lately, sorry guys.

Chapter 163: interlude: The cleansing.

Pov: The inquisitor.

“So, inquisitor? What do you think happened here?” the young pursuer asked me. He had only graduated from the academy and subsequently joined the corps a few months ago, but already he was acting like my right-hand man. If it wasn’t for his background, I would have long since kicked him out. Unfortunately, politics still held a grip on me, even after all these y...

Chapter 162: Savanna brawl to the death.

Swahili swerved left and right, her body partially turning into fire as she moved. A curving blade swung like an extension of her arm, following its original motion. She had aimed right for my neck, but was easily blocked with a twist of my wrist, which brought my two-handed sword in her path without much effort.

Now that my strength stat had improved, I could do a lot more with a lot les...

1 day delay.

Sorry guys, chapter will be up tomorow.

Chapter 161: Dalius.

I opened my eyes groggily, waking up from what felt like a hundred-year nap. I blinked, waiting for my vision to focus and my strength to return. The soft crackle of a campfire and its radiating warmth did little to settle my nerves.

What had happened? Weren’t we fighting that elephant when… oh. On the other side of the campfire, I saw a man sitting down. He was roasting a savanna cri...

Mentor-mage/ Chapter two: Proposition.

Author note: 

This is the second chapter of the remake of an idea by the same name that I posted yesterday. Go back and read the first chapter of the remake that I posted a few minutes ago first. (Not the one with gecko, a different one)

For the sake of easy reading, this st...

Mentor-Mage/ Chapter 1: The smell of opportunity.

Author note: So, I decided to remake this one, and even made a second chapter. The first oneshot had an interesting protagonist that very obviously suffered from a psychosis. That's an interesting syndrome, but one that would have completely taken over the story.

Instead, I'd rather write about a character that has slightly less serious problems to work through, in a more controlled setti...

Death Knight/ Chapter 160: Cursed beast.

The next morning, we were woken up by morning prayer. A loud one. One that had been started right outside the front door of our temporary place. We couldn’t even get mad, since they had let us sleep there for free.

It took another five minutes to get through the crows, once we had finally made up our minds to leave and head back out into the savannah. By the time we got to the elevator,...

ONESHOT - ABANDONED - Read the rework instead.

Author note: Possible oneshot or series, not sure. Tell what you guys think. It would be a progression fantasy focused around the antics of the protagonist and his mentor.

If I do decide to turn it into a new novel, it wouldn't slow down the upload speed for death knight, though, so don't worry.

Chapter 1: Clarity.

--------------------------------------------------------------...

Death Knight/ Chapter 159: The savanna.

Moments after the young man’s death and Sunny’s escape, the mist overtook the area once again. It brightened, forcing us to close our eyes by instinct. Once we opened them again, we found ourselves back in the real world, staring at a statue in the dark. The statue had changed shape, however.

Where previously a heroic young man once stood, now stood a boy, embracing the kneeling figur...

Chapter 158: A painful conflict.

When the light faded, Emeri and I found ourselves surrounded by a thick, hazy mist. Her body had turned translucent, strangely, and when I looked down at my own hands, I found out that the same had happened to me. I felt neither hot nor cold, nor hungry or fulfilled. It felt as if I was floating, like I could phase through objects. In fact, it felt similar to when I used [Ghost apparition].

Chapter delay.

Todays chapter will be uploaded tomorrow, while Monday's chapter will be uploaded on Tuesday. Wednesday we'll return to the normal schedule.

Exams get in the way sometimes, though thankfully, everything has been going well on that front, so far :). Graduation, here I come!

Chapter 157: The light.

The next morning, I woke feeling well-rested. Thankfully, no bugs had gotten curious and entered our little chamber while we slept, because that might have resulted in an unfortunate accident.

Emeri, on the other hand, looked like she hadn’t slept a wink. Purple bags rested beneath her eyes, she looked haunted.

“Are you… okay?” I asked hesitantly. Had the idea of sleeping in...

Chapter 156: Inside the nest.

Sure enough, it took us another five tries before the termites finally trusted us enough to leave us alone while they harvested our carefully prepared feast for materials and nourishment. Another five times we had to slaughter all nearby creatures and pile them up in a heap. If not for the two levels I had gained, I would have seen this as a wasted effort. Only when they let us get reasonably c...

Chapter 155: Through the desert.

Why did I think this journey would only take two weeks? At the rate we were going, we wouldn’t make it to the temple within a month!

The problems had started the moment we had entered the dessert and Aho’s valley gave way to loose sand and endless dunes.

Unsurprisingly, the sand was difficult to traverse. Each step felt like a slog. Use too much strength and your foot would simp...
