After setting up the three Simi-monkeys to start their training, their trainers nearby and observing, Ethan saw his little berry bug trudging up the road with a new friend by his side.
Shuckle used his long noodle limbs to pull himself over the cobblestone path while he chatted happily with the Dunsparce who flapped its little wings as it talked back. A week ago, Ethan would have been shocked by seeing his timid friend chatting with a random pokemon and becoming friends, but his l...

As Ethan arrived at the training field atop Gogoat, followed along by Hitmonlee, Growlith, and Sneasel, he saw the other six trainers over on the campgrounds setting up their tents and supplies.
As Gogoat trotted around in circles, content to carry Ethan around for fun, Ethan swiveled his head as he watched the six trainers work alongside their pokemon—the ones he’d be tutoring.
Elizabeth, the blonde-haired teen with her Aipom, worked on setting up an enormous tent along...

This chapter is very fast paced, being one of the fastest paced chapters in the story to date. I didn't want to spend 10 chapters detailing every bit of what you're about to read.
Please let me know if you found this chapter enjoyable, nonetheless. It's very different from many of the others. Maybe you all would have preferred the much slower detailed look?

Next chapter will have a slight time skip, bringing Lee to the time where he goes through the portal.

The next morning, Lee had expected a visit from Lord Blight about his night-time activities, but surprisingly, that never happened. After breakfast, Lee informed his staff that he would not be taking any patients today, which caused a bit of a stir. His new security detail, people he had just taught the art of healing, would be filli...

“I got five minutes. Where are they in the building?” Lee asked, coated in icy armor as wisps of fog-like vapor trailed off his moving form.
Regina walked by his side until they reached the entrance to the Sanctum’s place of operation. “Top floor. Follow the red and gold.”
Lee nodded, the pointed vizor of his temporary magical helmet bobbing with the motion. “I’ll be back. Go find some guards or go wake Lord Blight. They’ll need to help those who were h...

Welp. This chapter went a completely different direction that I thought it would, but I figured it was best to get this bit over with.
Caution: Several people abused in various ways are in this chapter.
Caution: Incoming brutal and horrific violence. (Not this chapter, but the next one or two.)

I hate to cut this one just a little short. When you get to the end of this chapter, you will hopefully notice why. The next few chapters are going to be very dense, and I didn't want this one to start off with something so important, only to be cut off midway through or near the end.
On a side note, I started writing a Fanfiction about pokemon! It's out there on RoyalRoad and Scribblehub if you're interested. I know it's not for everyone, but I enjoy reading them so I wanted to give o...

It was still fairly early in the morning, when Lee followed Regina through the lobby past a still sleeping Hera—Face down and out for the count on her receptionist desk. Along the way, he tried to explain what his squabble with Em was about, but Regina straight up didn’t seem to care. She’d gotten used to their squabbles, and by now, she was immune.
As Lee walked down the cobblestone walkway in front of his hospital, Regina grabbed the sleeve of his robe, halting him in plac...

Chapter 4
Anne stared about in awe and excitement as she wandered up to Outreach’s entry gate. Everywhere she looked, there were humans. Merchant wagons, loaded with wooden crates and rough woolen sacks, strolled by her as they left the town and headed toward their next destination. Going about their daily lives, ordinary humans trailed past her, oblivious to her true nature. The clacking of hooves from the horses, the smell of freshly cut wood, and the ambient sound of people talking...

Busy.
That was the single word that could explain what Lee felt at all times of the day for the past week. There had been little to no time for any personal endeavors to break up the monotony, such as his enchanting or spell work. All there was time for was teaching, healing, dealing with portal shenanigans, and Em.
After six days of treating patients nonstop, the number of sick and injured people began to finally settle down. He could actually take a break and have a ...

As Tearle wearily blinked his bleary eyes, there was a moment where his memories must have flooded back into him. Without a word, his hand snapped to his hip, where a familiar weapon would usually be held, and his eyes snapped open in alert as he scanned his surroundings. As he didn’t find his weapon, he paused as he looked at everyone surrounding him.
When spotting Em, he never moved his eyes away.
Lee knelt down towards him with his hands held up. Hopefully, the pl...

The following day, Lee strode into the communal room on the second floor, energized from sleeping in an actual bed and ready to get to work. When he opened the door, the first thing he found was breakfast laid out in a mini-buffet for all to enjoy. It was early, nearly six in the morning, so he wondered who went out of their way to buy, set up, and get ready for such a fantastic start to everyone's day.
The answer was revealed when Gina, his new assistant, walked over to place som...

The third wing, which was directly at the back of the building, facing north, was much shorter than the other two wings, which housed the in-patients and out-patients. In total, Lee saw a staircase, which led to the other four floors of the building and eight other rooms.
To the side of each doorway a small bronze plaque labeled who owned which room. For now, they were all blank, but that would probably change in due time. At the far end of the wing, another set of large double do...

As Lee walked down the halls, back toward the main lobby, he came upon Neil exiting one of the patient rooms with a smile and a wave.
“Moving some patients?” Lee asked.
Neil joined into step with their small group as they walked down the hall. “Your friend, Kendri… He was having some trouble so we started sorting out the patients ahead of time. It’s going to be a busy day.”
Lee quickly peeked into some of the other rooms but found them empty. “Did y...

“We can circle back to this…” Lee said diplomatically as Arcani gently shook her head with a wry smile.
“As I told you before. I cannot give you a spell that drops flaming meteors from the sky by enhancing your blessing. This is not negotiable.”
“But…” Lee was still holding out hope, but his uncle laid a hand on his shoulder and softly squeezed. It wasn’t going to happen.

Every inch of every wall, every detail carved into every door, the smell of finely sanded wood, and the feeling of being small in the sheer openness of it all assaulted Lee as he strode down the broad and spacious corridors of his new building.
Gerald, his new resident priest, chuckled and watched with pride as he inspected each and every room they passed. So far, he mainly had peeked into what appeared to be small but homely patient rooms. They had a few simple but cushioned chai...

“Well, Damn. That’s probably the second most beautiful sight I’ve ever seen.” Lee said honestly as he gazed at the scene before him.
Far off in the distance, tall, towering, white-tipped mountainous peaks shot up into the sky. A few taller ones even breached into the thick cloud cover, which seemed to be a constant in ...

Traveling in a wagon for two months sucked. The first week was fine, but there was only so much one could do or focus on before the gentle rocking of the wagon, the now non-existent small talk, and the tortuous and frustrating study of magic took its rightful toll.
Lee released a small sigh as he flicked his eyes toward his opponents. While he enjoyed card games in the past, the card games he normally played were more along the lines of a TCG, not… Whatever mutilated and convolu...

Kooco hopped off the top of Meriah’s head and fluttered her short yellow wings to glide around her in a circle as she floated toward the ground. Meriah greedily heaved in the air as she took a knee on the forest floor, tired from her ordeal. Her shaking hands and tense white knuckles gripped the two twisted daggers—the last gift she had gotten from her father.
In front of them, on the ground cove...

This might be a good stopping point for book 2, and onwards to book 3. Might just say fuck the book stuff and continue doing a long web-serial.

After walking away from a small food stand, more than a little embarrassed, with a handful of what looked to be wraps of meat and vegetables in a cornflour shell, Lee headed back to Em. Along the way, he tried to ignore the pointed look Regina was throwing at him.
“Remember what I said about giving out your money? I take all of that back. You’re not allowed to help with our supplies if you’re going to give away the last dregs of your savings.”
Lee ignored her r...

A slightly shorter than normal chapter. I felt this ended on a good spot, and I have people coming to my house to install a new AC all day today.

Regina lowered herself from the wagon gracefully, then gently patted down her uniform as she turned to face the group of militiamen. Following after her, Jeremy hopped out and stood at attention behind her. The men at the gate noticed his uniform and started to relax nearly instantaneously.

It only took a few minutes of dragging her stone chest underneath the thick green canopy of the forest before her first encounter with a stranger came. It was her first encounter with anyone other than her kin in well over three hundred years. Luckily, she had heard them before they had spotted her.
Weighty thudding thwacks echoed from up ahead, soon followed by the creaking of wood and the deep base boom of a fallen tree. Slowing her pace, Anne sauntered up to a nea...

For the next several days, Lee practiced his magic alongside Em along their journey. They were quickly approaching their next stop, a town by the name of Asper. From what information he could gather from Annalise, Jeremy, and Kendri, this would be where the majority of the adventurers traveling alongside them would part ways, as the town had a significant guild presence.
This was also where the numerous pathways across the kingdom would emerge. No longer would there be a single di...
