“Drink it,” said Amryn as she placed a steaming hot cup of tea in front of me. I looked at it before focusing on the designs; I have been working on.
“Stop, first drink the tea,” she insisted, placing her hand, on the design, I was working on.
I sighed seeing, her acting like a child.
“There is a lot of work needed to be done, Amryn. There are only two weeks before the opening,” I said. There is a lot of work; I never thought I ...

“It does not look good,” said Cara as we walked out of our suites.
“The city had fought two battles. I say it is looking better than I had imagined,” I replied as I looked at the port.
The last time, I had come here was a little over six months ago; at the legacy’s party.
At that time, the city was growing with a lot of people and ships at its port. Currently, the number is half, which is better than I had expected.
Though there are...

His eyes fluttered open, and I nearly looked away, before smiling at his handsome face.
We had slept late, but I am used to waking up early. I also have the Rest Skill. I do not need as much rest as he does.
He deserves the rest, after what he pulled last night.

“Are you excited, Josie?” asked Carla as our carriage left the mansion. “Yes,” replied the little girls excitedly.
I am taking her to school. Well, both of them.
Today is their first day; they had come yesterday when I had inaugurated the schools and mingled with the children who would be their classmates.
Today would be a proper school day.
I had spent massive money on the schools. I needed to since there are twenty thousand children in the city, of which ...

“It’s not good. You have made a mistake here and here,” I said as I looked at the chair, my employee was making.
It is much easier working with only four employees, that I myself had trained, but now there are fourteen of them and some are not as good as I like them to be. They take longer to finish the product.
Let’s hope the five that arriving tomorrow will be good.

“No,” replied the younger woman. Her answer was resolute, as always. “Sometimes, I really wish you hadn't been as stubborn as my dearest sister.” Said the older woman and sighed.
“Well, I am her daughter, aren’t I,” said the younger woman, sarcastically, while the elder one sighed once more.
“It had taken me a long time to convince the council to seal the other half of your magic, not to remove it entirely. You shou...
“If you don’t mind me asking. Why did you spend so much on the new headquarters, when our former place would have been more than enough?” asked Commissioner Julian as stepped inside the building.
We are walking toward the door of a five-story building with a large compound.
It is a square-shaped building painted in grey color. It used to be an office building, looking better than it is right, but the police headquarters didn’t need to look good. It needed to look like, i...

The guards bowed and opened the door to the merchant guild for me. I nodded at them and strode inside with my heels clicking loudly across the floor.
I don’t like wearing heels; the pain and uncomfortableness are too much, but I still wear them every day.
I know what I am, and it will never change. Nor I am trying to change that; it may be dark, but it is what made me who I am today, and I am using what I had learned there.

I stepped out of the carriage and walked into the city hall with the Lord's Presence while keeping the Trustful Presence down as much as possible.
The people turned toward me, feeling my presence, and bowed. I have to say, the respect and prestige of it is a little addicting.
No wonder the lords desire this skill so desperately.

I passed through the door and entered the indoor training space. It is big, with several sparring rings, big weapon racks, and other training instruments.
I had been here a few times with Lancel. It was funny to see the people fawning over him, taking hits and even losing intentionally. I didn’t blame them, I myself did the same when he asked me for a spar.
Lancel was a sour loser. He used to get angry when lost.

The man hits the table hard with his hand, shaking everything that was on it, scaring the man in front of him, which he liked.
Though he is feeling too angry to feel any joy from it for more than a moment.
The retreat had already made him angry, but now, seeing the list of casualties, the anger in his eyes blazed again.

They are retreating and like many, I had a hard time believing it. When I had seen the horde; I was pretty sure, that I would die in it, but Stone that bastard, had pulled a victory out of it.
We are still careful with the company keeping me in the center.

The enemy is powerful, and his sword is so fast, that he is giving me cut after cut. There isn't a single part, where I haven’t been cut.

‘Wayne, that bastard is getting close!’
Came the panicked voice from the Tasmid; they had killed four necromancers already and now it is Tasmid’s turn.
I have no doubt that if Stone caught him, he would be killed. Tasmid is powerful, but the elder blood isn’t weak.
He is a monster, more powerful than we had predicted.
He isn't the only one calling me Arnv, and Jenna is also insistently asking for help. After Tasmid, it wi...

The explosions aren’t a threat to me, and I am tearing through the blockades, but they are slowing me down.
I have been chasing the bastard for ten minutes and I have yet to catch him.

‘Why, the fuck, do I always get the weird ones!’ I cursed as I dodged the attack, which nearly decapitated me.
The enemy I am fighting looked all normal, with a little bit of tattoos. I have some, not on the face like, but on my hand, chest and ass.
The last one is due to the bet. I was young and an idiot. Confident that I would win the bed against the wizened old man, but the bastard had beaten me thoroughly, and I had to tattoo his fa...

‘Thirteen, fourteen, fifteen,’ I counted as more of the bastards have revealed their strength.
‘I am going to kill the bastards at the intelligence department!’ I cursed, seeing the number. One of the reasons for the last defeat was an intelligence failure. So, when I took command of the horde, I made sure to press for more intelligence.
We didn’t have the robust intelligence network here as we have on the island, but we have money a...

The saber of the man struck against my ax, sending me back, before the enemy came at me with another attack, wanting to cut my head off.
Captain Vihra appeared in front of me, defended against the attack, and the enemy went for his head.
The enemy is too fast, and I am a little farther, I won’t be able to reach there in time.

The halberd cut through the fiery wave, and I ran toward the man with the fiery blade.
Suddenly, I sensed the danger and jumped. A moment later, the place I had been spurted, the earth spikes. I barely glanced at it and focused on the danger, that coming at me.
There are two spells coming toward me, in the air, where there is a little maneuverability.

The horde is massive, and we have less than two hours to achieve our objective. If we don’t achieve it, then this whole horde will swallow our army and turn the city into undead territory.
Their victory will not only affect the city but also the other cities and merchant states.

‘Maybe, it was all a mistake,’ I thought as I looked at the colossal horde, which could sweep through our tiny army within a minute.
They are getting bombarded by cannonballs and blasted by mines and spells, but it seems to be barely affecting them at all.
