Chapter 102

Anton thought of the fact that his father was a mercenary before and only stopped due to a back injury. That meant that Anders was experienced and shouldn’t doubt some of the decisions his father made. He was painfully aware that he, his father, and Anna didn’t know how to behave in front of kings and nobles which was understandable since they were a farming family but for some things, they should be left with Anders since Anton himself was a foreigner of this world.

“Isn’t it a...

Chapter 101

Anton wondered why the king of Leminthor invited him to a party instead of just scheduling a meeting with him or Anders but he just shrugged. More than likely some political maneuverings were going on in the background but he was not interested to know.

When they arrived at the huge castle door a steward led them to a huge corridor going to the left which the man said was the way to the ballroom. When they arrived at the ballroom door. The steward opened the door and loudly announced th...

Chapter 100

Anders and the rest returned around six in the evening. Anton saw that his father was in a good mood and that meant that their business concluded well.

Anton was surprised when Anders smiled at his children and he thought that maybe his father had forgotten what happened earlier, which happened to be the case since suddenly he scowled.

“Father, were you successful in selling our stock?” Anton asked as a diversion.

Anders looked at his children sternly first then relented...

Chapter 99

Everyone was looking at Anton waiting for his answer to Ander’s questions regarding what came over him to blatantly show off his spell-casting ability causing panic to the inn’s customers.

“I saw from the waiter’s reactions to me earlier that everyone at the inn knew that I’m a wizard so I decided to cast some spell and then show that I was joking so they would know that I’m not one of those serious wizards who would be offended at the tiniest things and cast the most grueso...

Chapter 98

Anton enjoyed flying so much while hurling Frozen Orb, Chain Lightning, and Meteor to his enemies. It was different casting spells personally since it was much faster and easier. He just needed to think of which spell he wanted to use and the mana would respond to his desire and the spell would gather at his fingertips.

He was enjoying plowing through several groups of monsters while they tried to reach him but the fact that he was high above gave the sense that Anton was invincible. He...

Chapter 97

Everyone enjoyed the food that was prepared by the inn for them, and Anton asked Nemina to ask the inn to prepare a lot of food since he could always keep them in his private stash to keep them always hot and fresh. Lunelle volunteered and said that she would handle it and Anton and Nemina nodded.

“Anton, are you planning to go to the adventurer’s guild tomorrow to look for a mage tutor for Anna?” Anders asked.

“Yes, Father. I’ll probably leave after lunch since I will n...

Chapter 96

Anton and Fenix arrived at the city square near the inn where his family was staying so he said his goodbyes to his guide and told him to return early in the morning. When he arrived at the inn he went directly to their suite and saw that Anna, Lunelle, and Devon were the only ones there.

“Father and the others are still not here yet?” Anton asked his sister.

“Obviously. Can you see them anywhere? Ooh, maybe they’re under the table!”

“What has gotten into you?”...

Chapter 95

Anton enjoyed the performances of the different acts in the square they went into and after a while, he told Fenix that he was ready to meet his uncle who had a wizard friend.

“Are you planning to ask the wizard that you’ll hire to travel with you to your next destination? That would cost you a lot of coins!” Fenix asked.

“That’s the plan and we’re willing to pay as long as it’s coins and not some sort of magic currency.”

“What do you mean magic currency?�...

Chapter 94

After lunch, Anton’s father and the others went back to the business of selling the items. According to Anders, they had already earned hundreds of gold coins and they only sold off a quarter of their total haul.

Anton told his father that he still wanted to roam around the city and probably check if he could find a wizard that he could hire as his and Anna’s tutor.

Anders gave his permission and reminded Anton to be back before dark. Anna then went to him and told him that sh...

Chapter 93

After their experiment with the sword was done, Anders asked Devon to go downstair to order lunch for everyone. While they were waiting, Anton told his father about his experience the day before and about hiring a local boy named Fenix as his guide while roaming the city.

“Is it okay for that guy to see our wares in the suite, Father?” Anton asked.

“It’s okay as long as you don’t show anybody else your magic of repairing items. That should be our family and our guard’s...

Chapter 92

After breakfast the next day, Anna coerced Anton into roaming the city saying she wanted to view the sights as well.

“You can roam the city together with Lunelle and Devon. I will need to meditate to increase my magic for our own good and will only roam after lunch. I already hired someone who will guide me later.”

Anna then turned to his father to ask permission to check the city.

“Is it safe enough for you guys to roam the city?” Anders asked Devon.

“The ci...

Chapter 91

Anton and Fenix enjoyed the food they ordered and after they were done Fenix led him to a shop that serves as a pawnshop and money changer at the same time. The gypsy boy also whispered to him that the shop also buys stolen items discreetly. Anton thought that he should stop using the term gypsy since it’s a term from his old world.

The seventeen silver coins were exchanged for copper coins that were put into several purses. When Anton received the purses, he kept most of them in his ...

Chapter 90

Anton was impressed at the diverse types of entertainment in the square. He stopped at two couples who were singing a funny love song about being faithful and at the end, the couple switched partners unknowingly causing everyone to laugh. He saw that a few people threw some copper coins into the chest that the entertainers set up near them.

Unfortunately for Anton, he didn’t have any copper coins, so he took the purse with silver coins from his private stash inside the Diablo II game ...

Chapter 89

After passing through one of the city’s squares that was filled with entertainers, Lucas led their carriage to another street. The street was filled with restaurants and taverns that catered to regular folks.

“Where are the café filled with nobles?” Anna asked.

“It’s in the inner city. The ruler is in the castle located in the middle of the city. Then the nobles in their mansions and villas surrounding the castle, then the rich merchants in their huge houses, then the r...

Chapter 88

Anton and his family and guards continued their journey after repairing and categorizing all the items they had purchased from the last village. Colin asked why they were rushing to the city of Leminthor and Anders just told the new carriage driver that he just wanted to make sure that they outran the bandits that tried to ambush them.

“Sir Anders, are you a wizard too? I saw you blast the blockade with some sort of spell?” Colin asked Anton’s father.

Anders and Anton laughe...

Chapter 87

Anton was busy having Charsi repair the clothes, pieces of jewelry, and other knick-knacks that the women purchased from the last village, and they enjoyed examining the fully repaired items. He had to admit that the repaired items were truly beautiful and could understand why the women were enamored with them.

Lunelle and Anna were busy checking the details of each item and Nemina and Anders were busy categorizing and putting a price tag on them using their notebook. Anna kept some of ...

Chapter 86

The next day arrived, and Anton kept in his private stash in the game all the things that Anders and Nemina purchased including the food that the chef from the inn prepared. He was impressed at the amount of equipment that his father managed to acquire.

Anton saw that Colin was now their carriage driver and his old parents were by the side watching their son prepare for travel.

“I gave Colin’s parents coins, and they should be able to live well with the amount they received. A...

Chapter 85

Anton saw the room that was separated by a thin wall and the old couple led them to that room. He remembered the room that he woke up in when first came to this world and it looked the same as the room where the old couple’s son was staying.

“Colin, we brought a wizard to heal your limbs!” The old woman said when she entered the room.

“Mother, no wizard would come here in our poor house to heal me. We don’t have anything that will interest them. They’re probably charla...

Chapter 84

Anton checked the time in his browser and saw that it was almost noon, so he minimized his Diablo II game to join his family for lunch. The four hours of playing earned him three levels aside from the Spirit Crystal Sword runeword weapon that he had just made so he was now level sixty-two.

When he went outside his room, he saw Devon guarding his door.

“Did you stay here for several hours?! You should have just joined the others in the village hall. It’s boring here.”

�...

Chapter 83

Morning arrived and Anton woke up to the sound of a rooster crowing. When he checked the time, it was six in the morning, so he stood up and went to the toilet. After that, he went downstairs to the inn’s common room and saw Anna, Lunelle, and Devon eating breakfast. He joined them and asked for breakfast from the server who was gaping at him which he ignored.

“Where’s Father, Lucas, and Nemina?” Anton asked his sister.

“There’s a village hall in here and they rented t...

Chapter 82

Anton’s family and their guards traveled non-stop for two days, only stopping to eat and for bathroom breaks. They were traveling at the horses' maximum speed, which was amazingly fast indeed due to the buff provided by the Vigor Aura.

Anton’s father, Lucas, and Devon were making sure that the horses were not suffering due to their gruesome journey every time they stopped and as expected, the horses were fine, even healthier than before.

Lucas informed them that the next villa...

Chapter 81

Anton took a total of ten minutes to heal all the injured people from the caravan. All the guards that were healed were looking at him gratefully and Devon who was beside him guarding him told Anton that they were grateful because he healed them immediately and did not wait for any sort of payment from them first.

“If I waited they would have died!” Anton said indignantly.

“That’s how priests normally behave though. Not all of them mind you but the majority of them that it...

Chapter 80

Anton was seated beside his father while they continued with their journey. Since it was still dark, there was a Fire Ball light hovering on top of the horses that lit up the road. They were still traveling at their maximum speed, which was extremely fast indeed, but he was confident that nothing would happen to the horses since his Prayer, Meditation, and Vigor Auras were protecting them.

He also didn’t forget to switch the auras between the horses and the people every hour to make s...

Chapter 79

Before this journey happened, Anders was praying to the divines for the strength to last until his children were safe. They were the only legacy of the love he had with his late wife. He thought that he wouldn’t have the strength anymore since his body was crooked and unhealthy due to an accident that happened when he was a mercenary.

When Anton lost his memory, Anders knew that he couldn’t make the choice that the others who experienced the same thing had taken which was to treat t...

Chapter 78

Anton was surprised at himself for finishing writing the second book of the Belgariad series, Queen of Sorcery in three of Anna’s notebooks in less than an hour and a half. When he checked the time it was already nine in the morning.

Anton’s sister happily took the notebooks from her brother and hugged him.

“Thank you so much, brother! I’m only halfway through the first book since I’m reading it slowly to savor it but having the second book eased my worry that I will not...

Chapter 77

Anna woke up in her room and saw that it was still dark outside. The first thing that she checked was her notebook. Her valuable notebook contained the first few chapters of her now favorite book, The Pawn of Prophecy. Honestly, the book helped her a lot because even though everything that was happening to her and her family was really scary, it was like a grand adventure like what was happening to the book's protagonist, Garion.

Her brother was even like Garion’s aunt, a powerful wiz...

Chapter 76

Everyone was surprised at the Undead Coalition army that was in the last village since that village was already very near the city of Tiande. It solidified the fact that Tiande was on the verge of war and that they should bypass the holy city since the chance that they would be conscripted in the war would be very high since they were refugees from a conquered nation.

According to Lucas Tiande City should be around six days from where they were currently if they were traveling normally ...

Chapter 75

Night arrived and their carriage didn’t stop. Anders just asked Anton to summon his Fire Ball light. Honestly, Anton was interested in the mage light spell book since there was a chance that a spell like that from this world did not need his attention once he cast it. His Fire Ball was different since its root was the Fire Ball spell from Diablo II which was a powerful area of effect spell and any mismanagement could result in the ball exploding.

That meant that Anton couldn’t take ...

Chapter 74

“What is that?” Anders asked his children when he noticed that Anna was holding her notebook like it was a valuable treasure.

“Brother wrote a novel for me! It’s about a boy named Garion and just like us, he and his aunt were running from danger. The book is so good! The story was from an author named David Eddings and the title of the book is called “The Pawn of Prophecy,” Anna said.

Lunelle looked at Anna’s notebook with interest.

“Can I read it as well onc...

Chapter 73

Anton’s father continued their journey even through the night, only stopping after several hours to check on the horses, feed them grains, and water them with mana water that Anton conjured. To Anders, Lucas, and Devon’s satisfaction, the horses were perfectly healthy and still energetic.

Even though everyone was perfectly aware that the horses would be fine since they themselves felt fine and Anton had been using the same spell on them, it was still inevitable for them to worry. 2024-04-15 02:00:02 +0000 UTC View Post
