I watched the carriage stop and a blue-haired man came out. Seeing him, I touched the runic switch on the wall, and a moment later; the guards begin to close the doors of the establishment.
“Welcome to the Velvet Garden,” I greeted the blue-haired man, who looked around the hall, before turning to me.
“My friend was right, it did not feel like a brothel,” he said, and a smile appeared on my face.
“I am like glad you like it, patron,...
2023-06-30 20:56:26 +0000 UTC View Post“Open the gates,” said Margaux from the door, and a moment later, the gates of the establishment opened.
She is looking beautiful with a shimmering red gown hugging her body perfectly. As she moved, it looked like she was wearing the water as the dress moved with her.
Elese had designed it specifically for Margaux, and it shows the way it hugged every part of her.
It didn’t even take ten seconds before the first carriage came through the gate. Margaux smiled and turned...
2023-06-29 11:29:37 +0000 UTC View Post“Jones, I hope you will not let Count Darrow down,” I said to the middle-aged man softly.
I am in the decorated hall of the mansion, filled with merchants, who will depart for the Navr soon. Their numbers are triple the last time and the goods they are going to buy will be six times.
This time, I have done something; I had not thought I could do.
I was able to get merchants from Norke; three of their merchants are going to Navr, with our merchants.
I have to thank ...

“Clothes and accessories?” I asked,
“Checked. I have looked at every dress and accessory with Eudo. Everything is good; Elese had also sent six of her people to make any adjustments we will require in the dresses,” replied Lola.
“Food and Liquor?” I asked Andrea.
“Perfect; I have checked everything, including the magical ingredients; I have kept guards by it and also asked Stena to keep eyes on Drev constantly,” she replied, and...

“…Kass is better than Alemeri; the depth he could give to his character is much better than Alemeri. On the other hand, Kass is better at developing the world around his characters.” I said to the blond man in his early forties.
We are sitting in a busy hall, where people could be seen talking and laughing at every table.
Though it is busy, it didn’t feel crowded. Despite the number of people doubling in the hall, everything is running smoothly...
2023-06-26 06:45:05 +0000 UTC View Post“Harder, push yourself faster!” said instructor David, and pressed me harder, with his attacks.
I dodged his attacks and those I couldn’t dodge, I tried to counter them with my sword at the cost of pain, but both of the options are not easy fighting against the man, who seemed to read my every move.
He has been training me for months and is familiar with my fighting style.
Not to mention his class affords him skills that will let him read his pupils. It will help them ...
2023-06-23 17:16:52 +0000 UTC View Post“The goods are only an hour away, My Lord,” informed Mage York. “They are coming at the right time,” I said, looking at the clock, while they looked at me.
All of them are thinking it is not wise to bring the goods from the Navr at prime night time. Either I should have waited for a few more days or I would have brought it late at night when everyone is sleeping.
“If things go wrong, you can say goodbye to your job, Remus,” threatened Lancel.
He is angry and jeal...

The text was in front of me when I woke up at dawn and a smile appeared on my face.
I thought for a second before adding the point to the charm. I had wanted to do that for a while, but keep adding to physical attributes.
Though, after it. I am going to add the point to the strength. I should have added this to the strength, seeing it is at nine, and it would have gotten a big increase, but the charm is important too.
I would...
2023-06-21 19:06:04 +0000 UTC View Post“I am going to miss you,” I said as muzzled my nose into Carla's neck.
It has already been a week since I returned, and I have been busy, especially in the first three days and I am going to be busy again from tomorrow.
Today, the shipment of goods has left the Navr; it will reach the Mirador Hold tomorrow, and by night; the goods will be in the city. It is the day I had been waiting for and also the one I had been dreading.
The people reacted when they heard we will be ...
2023-06-21 08:12:23 +0000 UTC View Post“…I could proudly say to you all, the biggest menace of baronies has been dealt with,” said Count Darrow from the stage, and the crowd of over ten thousand cheered madly.
I am standing behind Lancel on the stage, and in front of us are thirty-two guillotines, with thirty-two bandits bound to them. The moment those wickedly sharp blades fell, they would be dead.
I don’t like the public execution. It all felt uncivilized to me.
Though these bastards deserve to be execu...
2023-06-20 08:15:17 +0000 UTC View Post“So you understand what you and your criers have to do, guild master Ronald?” I asked the old man.
He is Reggie Ronald, the leader of the criers guild.
“Yes, adviser. I will thoroughly prepare my people for it,” he replied. “You better; any mistakes and both of us will not like the consequences,” I said, and a small, mirthless smile appeared on his face.
“It will not happen, adviser,” He said.
“Start the preparations; I will personally come at night t...
2023-06-19 08:46:44 +0000 UTC View Post“What are your intentions with my establishment?” I asked the most important question.
It surprised her, but she quickly controlled her expressions.
I could have started with the other questions, but I started with the most important ones. I have been thinking about the moment; I realized her class, and it made me realize other things.
Her strange behavior isn’t strange now.
Since the day she arrived here, she was wandering around the establishment. Then the spa ...
2023-06-16 12:26:33 +0000 UTC View PostKnock Knock
I had adjusted my clothes and just sat down when the knock rang out on my door.
“Come in,” I said.
The door clicked open, and Margaux walked inside.
“Master Silver,” she greeted and took a seat beside Carla, who glared at her for some reason and Margaux's cheeks reddened for a moment before she composed her expressions.
“Carla told me everything went fine,” I said, and she nodded. “Yes, there were some minor problems, but we dealt with t...
2023-06-15 08:47:06 +0000 UTC View Post“Isn’t the reward a little too much?” said Lancel to his father. Seeing what his father planned to give Remus.
“He commanded the force, killed two bandits, and played a big part in killing the biggest menace of Nakar baronies.” “If we calculate his contributions, he deserves at least 20%”.
“We are giving him less than 5%,” said Count Darrow.
“I should have stayed; the bastards only had one of those arrows,” said Lancel with gritted teeth and anger in hi...
2023-06-14 19:22:35 +0000 UTC View PostI was walking toward Gerald and Uncle Thompson when I saw Leila coming toward me; leaving her mother with her trusted butler and the man I didn’t recognize.
He seemed to be quite familiar with Leila, seeing the way they were talking.
Soon, she was in front of me, with her face expressionless as always.
“I am sorry for my mother’s behavior. Edwin’s death had affected her a lot.” She said, showing only a small bit of emotion.
“I understand,” I replied.

“Definitely,” I said and walked into my carriage, and a few seconds later, it is moved out of the gate.
I have one more barony to visit before I had to go the blain and deal with my dreaded family. I truly wish I could return to the Greltheven, but I had to go there for that bastard’s funeral.
I am still angry that...
2023-06-12 12:29:27 +0000 UTC View Post“…May the brave souls rest in the light,” I said the prayer with rest before burying the urns in the ground.
Here in this world, nearly all cultures cremate their dead. Seeing the fear of the undead, who can make bodies rise from their graves.
We are in the territory of Baron Homer; he had lost four men in the battle and his brother had got seriously injured.
He is in stable condition, but still bedridden.
The priest started his prayer as they covered the grave a...
2023-06-09 12:12:11 +0000 UTC View PostI woke up early in the morning; not as early as I woke up daily, but still early.
I had slept for four hours, and it was a good sleep without any nightmares. I wanted to sleep more, but there are things to do and practice.
I couldn’t take a break, even for a day.
After what I experienced yesterday. I want to be ready for everything. The enemies I would face will not be weak and I need to be strong enough to defend against them.
Yesterday, I had done well, but I am aw...
2023-06-08 18:39:28 +0000 UTC View Post“My Lords,” I greeted and bowed faintly to the Baron Harrods and others, leading the small army.
They did not reply, instead, just keep looking at me.
“Have the bandits been dealt with, Adviser?” asked Mage York after a few seconds of silence.
“Yes, High-Mage.”
“Half of the bandits are dead, including the bandit leader and six of his lieutenant. Those who survived are in a cell of the keep,” I replied and could see some people having a hard time believi...
2023-06-08 06:52:54 +0000 UTC View Post“Collect all the things and place them in the open, and call all mages,” I said to Captain Azalia.
She nodded and walked away and soon begin to order guards. Except for those guarding the keep and injured; all of them moved.
As for the bandits, we have placed them in the cells of the keep, with a tight watch from the guards.
A minute later, all the mages gathered in front of me. Including Zela.
“How is he?” I asked her. “Out of danger,” she replied. I sighe...
2023-06-07 10:51:21 +0000 UTC View Post‘I hate mages!’ I cursed as the water sphere enveloped me. They are always hard to deal with.
It is all because of that bastard Itles; he ran away. He will be one of the first people I will kill when I get out of here.
I calmed my anger and looked around. I could see the four of them had already started preparing to attack me. I couldn’t stay here. A few seconds more and my chances of survival will disappear.
Dividing Cut
I activated the only skill that could bri...
2023-06-07 05:24:42 +0000 UTC View Post“Filthy bandit, I will kill you!” said the bastard in front of me and launched another flurry of attacks with that dagger.
Whirlwind Slashes. Elnor’s Movements. Lacerating Cuts. Blistering Bleed.
I stopped each of his attacks with a combination of skills before giving him another slash in the left thigh. He mostly avoided the attack, except for the small cut, which joined tens of other cuts all over his body.
“Old bastard. It won’t be long before I sent you to your...

Seconds passed as I dodged one attack after another from the grey orc in front of me.
It is hell-bent on killing me and using every skill he has in his arsenal and all I am doing is dodge, this is all I could do. I could not counter his attacks, nor I could defend against them.
He is stronger than me. The only thing I have is a movement skill, which is really good, and a balance skill, which stops me from falling when I dodge weirdly.
Without both of them, ...
2023-06-03 14:51:25 +0000 UTC View Post“Attack, kill every one of them!” ordered the bandit leader and came toward us with his men, and at the same time, arrows begin to rain again.
‘Fuck fuck fuck…’ I cursed madly.
Lancel, that bastard. I wish he was dead. Damn, the consequences. It is all happening because of him, and he ran away, leaving us here in the jaws of bandits.
Taking High-Mage with him, the only one who could guarantee our victory against the bandits.
Now, with him gone, there is a cha...
2023-06-03 04:13:43 +0000 UTC View Post“My son!” Baron Lockridge screamed in grief, seeing the bandit leader coming out.
The bandit leader is short for an orc, and looked with a long ponytail but had a body built like a tank. Every muscle in his body was well defined and could burst with strength at a moment’s notice.
I am shocked, to my core, not only by the brazen entry of Ulag Karguk, but also by how casually he is holding the decapitated head of a blond man by hair, which is dripping with blood.
The dea...
2023-06-01 18:22:27 +0000 UTC View Post“It seemed like they have already begun,” said Lancel as he got out of the carriage and looked at the construction on both sides.
Before there were two small outposts on both sides, and they are present now, but around them are new constructions happening and they have already made good progress in three days.
The trade will need an infrastructure; the new constructions will house more guards here and inspectors.
We do not want any contraband to enter the empire through ...
2023-05-31 12:18:23 +0000 UTC View Post“It was too risky. You shouldn’t have done that,” said an old orc with a thick wooden staff in its body hand. To the middle-aged orc, who was stepping into the herbal pool.
The moment stepped in it; the injuries which looked healed turned red and a middle-aged orc gritted its teeth.
“It was worth it; as now, they won't guess what I am going to do next,” said the middle-aged orc, and grinned in pain, before turning to a thin human standing beside him.
“Is the info...
2023-05-30 12:12:52 +0000 UTC View Post“Yes, wow,” said Robin as he looked at the city hall. It is different from what we have been seeing for the past few days and nights.
“Well, it seemed like those embedded gems and precious metal paint weren’t just for the show,” I said. Seeing how those gems had lighted up the whole city hall.
The thing that makes it even more amazing is the precious metal paint, which radiates that light across it.
Whoever created it must be a genius. The way the lights from the g...
2023-05-30 02:25:39 +0000 UTC View PostIt is nearly evening, and we are moving toward our last destination before I need to return to the mansion for the party.
We have already visited one destination and stayed in it longer than we wanted. It was a little crowded, but with diplomatic credentials, we were able to cut through the crowd and get to look at them.
I wish I had more time. Even a day is not enough to completely look at the museum.
It was an art museum, with extremely expensive art. Many sculptures, pain...
