Edward and Simon followed Ezekiel and his brothers to their room so they could talk.

“Do you have any other requirements for the house that you want to buy?”

“Let me be specific, then. There should be five to six bedrooms for the family members and guests, and rooms for servants. Other than that, just make sure that the facilities are serviceable. A nice backyard would be good as well. For the store, just any normal store will do, but please find a two-...

Chapter 472

Since it was still somehow early and it looked to Anton that Flint, Norman, and Ariana did not look like they wanted to sleep yet, he talked to them about their adventurer life. Whenever the three wanted to talk about their back story or their history, Anton steered the conversation back to their current daily lives as they strive to increase their adventurer rank.

Not that Anton did not find their stories interesting, but if he learned more about the three, especially their history, he...

Chapter 471

Flint and Norman ran forward to meet the kobolds, who were also running towards them. Norman was the first one to clash with the monsters by jumping forward and doing a sweep attack. The move decapitated a couple of kobolds. Flint braced himself by standing in place once the group of kobolds reached him. He used his shield to stop the monsters from going past him and his axe to brain those near him.

The kobolds who got past Norman and Flint were attacked by the deadly arrows from Ariana...

Chapter 470

Flint swung his axe at the spider’s body while defending himself from its multiple arms using his shield, but to Anton, it looked like the dwarf was swatting dogs. Every time he bashed a spider, it would stumble back, and if it was not dead yet, it would rush towards the dwarf again.

Norman was using his great sword to push several spiders off of him, and due to how huge his weapon was, he effectively avoided the spiders’ attack by swinging his sword around, and the spiders would st...

Ezekiel and his family’s travel continued without any large trouble. They encountered bandits, but Edward the minstrel and guardian Simon were enough to drive them away since most of them were hungry, runaway serfs without strength. He didn’t like seeing those serfs because it only made Ezekiel melancholic and angry at the same time.

The bandit serf’s appearance and desperation kept reminding Ezekiel why the owner of his body died. The boy was so desperate to...

Chapter 469

Anton stumbled into a dark place, but soon after, light came from the torch that Norman lit. The warp gate closed, and he studied the surroundings, at least the places where the torchlight could reach. They were in a huge cave, and there was a road that led deep into the cave.

“It is going to be this dark all the time?” Anton asked gloomily.

“This is the second floor, and we’ve only been here twice. We didn’t last long, but we did hear that there were instances that it�...

Chapter 468

The dungeon’s entrance looked like the opening of a giant cave. Several buildings were on the left and right sides of that opening. The nearest buildings looked like official government buildings, and the others catered to different businesses. There were eateries, taverns, and even hotels.

Anton wondered where he could find adventurer groups that he could join. Based on the reactions of the adventurer groups when he talked to Ruel and his friends, healers were sought-after profession...

Edward and Simon returned, with Simon looking triumphant, saying that they were able to drive the bandits away. Ezekiel didn’t know if their pretend guardian got a good look at the supposed bandit, since if he did, he wouldn’t look so proud. The bandits were just hungry serfs, just like him before, driven to desperation and hunger.

Ezekiel was beginning to hate the concept of serfdom. It felt to him that it was just slavery using another name, but then again, h...

TBE Chapter 107

Edward and Simon spent a couple of hours outside the towers for their swordplay practice, and after that, they immediately headed to the washroom to bathe. Ezekiel prepared a lot of meat sandwiches and soda for the two since he promised them some snacks after the minstrel taught Simon sword craft.

Robert and Luke were still playing with their new Lego toy, and Ezekiel felt a little worried about how focused the two boys were on their new toy. They even ignored him ...

Chapter 467

Anton woke feeling refreshed the next day, and for the first time in a long while, he felt excited. Yes, the sadness was still there, but he felt hope that after some time, he would start looking at the memories of his friends with fondness instead of melancholy.

He dressed himself in a common shirt and pants, looking like an ordinary villager instead of the usual robes that he sported. He wanted to be treated as a beginner warrior-healer. Anton thought of looking up Ruel and his friend...

Chapter 466

Anton and the old archmage Tobias ate at a nearby restaurant. Because of how delicious the food was, his intention to continue asking the mage questions was stalled since both of them focused on enjoying their food.

He was truly impressed by the expertise of the chefs of that restaurant, and according to Tobias, it was just average compared to the other places one could find in Ormunda. Tobias added that those restaurants that could boast of dishes that had divine tastes would bleed the...

TBE Chapter 106

Ezekiel checked his system browser tab that led to the site dnd5e.wikidot.com, which, for some reason, was the website that his system was using regarding the spells that he could purchase. He didn’t know how to feel about it because when he searched the Internet using the first tab, there were sites that had more spells. Mostly, those were based on the older version of DnD, but it felt to him that there...

Chapter 465

Anton observed all that he could while waiting for his turn in the queue. The ambiance of the place didn’t fully feel like that of an Adventurer guild, but instead, it felt like a bank. He felt that that was because of the counters, the clerks, and their behavior. He did notice that there was another large hallway to the left, and there, he glimpsed a huge notice board or possibly the mission board where a lot of people were gathered.

There were several waiting areas as well, and some...

Chapter 464

“So what do you want to know?” Ruel asked.

“Does the Adventurer Guild charge for registering as an adventurer, and how much is it?” Anton asked.

“It’s a gold coin to start as an Iron rank adventurer. If you want a higher rank than that, you will need to undergo a combat test. It’s 10 gold coins for silver rank, and 50 silver coins for gold rank. I don’t know how much for a rank above gold since the guild didn’t release any information about that, but a friend tol...

Chapter 463

Anton kept reading Anna’s letter, and it was fairly long. She told him that she would be staying in a dormitory room together with another student of the Supreme Munetta. Anton wondered why they were called students and not disciples.

Her classmate's name was Susan, and she was a rank three, nineteen-year-old female who became Supreme Munetta’s student two years ago. Anna told him through the letter that everything that she had seen so far inside the academy was alright and that she...

They were led to a nearby table, and even with Robert and Luke loudly acting out, the surrounding customers only had indulgent smiles on their faces. Even Simon, whom Ezekiel knew, felt shy because of the environment was only scowling because of his instruction, so he looked like someone who was looking after rich kids.

Ezekiel knew that if they looked like beggars, instead of indulgent smiles, they would have met glares and insults, and someone would have complain...

Chapter 462

Anton and Anna prepared themselves to leave, and even Anna had a flinty expression on her face. He wasn’t sure that Anna would receive some sort of questioning and possibly bullying regarding him and he didn’t want Anna’s first experience in an academy becoming marred with something as petty as that.

He knew that he might have been blowing up the situation for no reason, but Piamon’s behavior toward them had not been good from the start. At first, Anton believed that the archmag...

Chapter 461

Anton would have been filled with much more excitement upon learning what the Kingdom of Ormunda could offer him, but because of the tragedy that happened, everything they encountered in the new kingdom was tainted with grief and might-have-beens.

Even Anna felt the same way since Anton heard his sister whisper that Ramona, Belinda, and Lunelle would have enjoyed coming to such an establishment.

Anton would have told Anna that Ramona, Belinda, and Lunelle would not have qualified ...

Ezekiel, Robert, Luke, and Simon left Edward the minstrel to his devices. At first, Simon asked Ezekiel if he was worried that the minstrel would run away with the items.

“If Edward does something like that, we would then know his true character, but he probably would remain loyal to me since he still hopes to learn my magic. Not only that, because of my ability to provide him high-quality items, he would earn a good amount of coins for acting as our merchant.”...

Chapter 460

A couple of hours later, everyone in the merchant caravan woke up. Anton and Anna joined the Rimande’s family for breakfast, and after a few minutes of waiting for the packing to complete, they were on the road to the kingdom of Ormunda.

Rimande informed them that they would arrive in Ormunda a couple of hours after noon. During that time, Anna was relentless in her pursuit of power, not stopping practicing her memorization to the amazement of Oscar, the rank five wizard brother-in-la...

The next day, during breakfast, everyone talked about the film they watched the night before. Robert and Luke admitted to Ezekiel that they mostly understood just half of what was being said because of the language barrier, but because of the film, his brothers were more enthusiastic about learning English more especially when he mentioned that there were a lot more films.

Edward and Simon admitted that they only understood about a quarter of the spoken language in...

TBE Chapter 102

Ezekiel saw Edward the minstrel observing the wooden decorative items that he purchased from the system store. When the minstrel saw the post it notes that Ezekiel wrote on for each of the item that contained the price each of them would sell for, Edward the minstrel asked him a question.

“Is that the price you’re planning to sell them for?”

“Normally, it would be 20 copper coins higher, so I can bring the prices down to the original price that I’m ...

Chapter 459

“Anton, all your enchanted items are geared toward easing users' lives. Can you not create enchanted weapons or armors?” Oscar the mage asked.

“I can create magical weapons and armors, but I mainly focus on what I call lifestyle enchanted items. The weapons and armor that I make are usually reserved for the protection of my family.”

For a brief second, Anton and Anna reacted the same at that comment. All the items that he gave his friends didn’t manage to save anyone of ...

Chapter 458

Anna retrieved one of her favorite art sculptures, the butterfly sculpture Anton had previously given her, which housed the Frozen Orb air conditioner enchantment. She then placed the metal sculpture on the small table placed in the middle of the carriage. It was a table that popped up from the carriage floor. She then activated it, and a glowing Frozen Orb appeared between the butterfly wings, looking like some sort of frozen planet that was floating in Space.

Everyone looked fascinate...

Chapter 457

Anton knew that based on his and Anna’s behavior, they were exhibiting an unhealthy mental state, but he didn’t know how to cure something like that. All the information about alleviating mental illness that he could gather from the internet was much too vague and dangerous to try out, so he opted to think that the best solution was time, for both of them.

Since Anna would stay in a magic academy, Anton thought that, since her sister could be considered one of the most talented wiza...

Chapter 456

The next day, Anton, Anna, and their father met at the inn’s restaurant for breakfast. While they were eating, the three of them were quiet. They reached their goal of arriving at the Gale Continent, as confirmed by Anders from the mouths of townsfolk, but it felt meaningless for the three of them. 

Reaching the new continent was supposed to be a happy occasion for everyone in their family since it should have been the start of their new lives in a new land. They would start thei...

Chapter 455

“I thought it would take us six to seven months before we arrived at the Gale Continent?” Anna asked.

“Although I’m not sure, I think we’re traveling much faster than the Amelia. I’m not even sure that land is the Gale Continent. We can only confirm by asking questions of the people there. I saw a town, and everything looked normal,” Anton replied.

Anton controlled their boat to land beneath a tree near the road and dispelled the Cloak of Shadow skill that had been s...

TBE Chapter 101

Ezekiel planned to get all the information that he could from the minstrel since Edward chose to stick with them. It was going to be the man’s payment in annoying him and he had an inkling that he could intimidate the man using his magical power.

Before the sun hid on the horizon, Ezekiel asked Simon to find their next camping site, and as usual, their guardian just drove the cart into the forest and found the next clearing large enough to contain Ezekiel’s con...

Ezekiel didn’t mind leaving the houses as they were, since they would automatically disappear after some time. Edward the minstrel looked flabbergasted, though.

“Are you really just going to leave these beautiful houses here?!”

Edward simply nodded but to his exasperation, Luke butted in.

“They would poof away later anyway.”

The minstrel looked at Luke, but then the man looked at Simon.

“Are you not returning to these houses?”<...

Chapter 454

Anton spent several hours hunting for the best gear that he could give his sister. He would have preferred to give her an amulet, a ring, or a circlet because those were the best-looking ones, and as a very young girl, even though Anna was focused on increasing her power, just like him and their father, Anton had an inkling that she would prefer something pretty.

He managed to collect the runes to create the two runeword staffs, Memory. and Obsession, and the runeword spear Insight, but...
