As I spent more time in this household, I couldn’t help but question the strange feeling in my chest. It has been a few days, now, that I’ve arrived at the Prnm household and I can say without a doubt that this is the most uncomfortable I’ve felt in a long long time.

It wasn’t just the fact that I couldn’t speak with anyone or t...

We had interrogated ‘Blue’ the feral several more times for information, but as it turned out, he was not aware of the exact goings on of his home.

I had tried to get information regarding Silika, but he simply retorted that he wouldn’t know, since he hadn’t been staying at the hideout much for the last few days as he was busy fer...

“They’ve found her?!”

“Yes,Halfway across the duchy at Khaln Lake!”

I answered to Uncle Marlot as I hastily buckled my riding vest as I rushed for the stable.

“Khaln Lake? In Diid’s name, how did she get there?”

“Who knows Uncle, but I need to make for Khaln yesterday”

I said as I flung th...

As we waited in the sitting room of the mansion, I took out Darkie from my pocket.

[Hey, Darkie.]

“What’s up, Silika?”

[I’m scared…]

I hadn’t had the time to really think about it, but the person I was about to rely on was a stranger. Not only a stranger, but a scary one at that. One of the only peopl...

It has been a few days, maybe weeks, since I first started travelling with my new companions and I learned a lot about them and their way of life over our short time together.

For one, they weren’t as much a ‘touring-circus’ as a band of treasure hunters.

The way I see it, they simply made use of the inherent adventuring skills to...

Firsland is by and large acknowledged as the birthplace of mann, but mann did not keep still. Through archaeological studies of both religious and military architecture, it was pinpointed that three great journeys were undertaken by our ancestors to colonise our continent of Redal and beyond.

Before I could ask Pearl what he had meant by preparing, they had hurriedly left the inn with me in tow, much to the chagrin of my stomach which growled once more.

We didn’t walk very far, as just outside the inn, I could see the rest of the band doing something in the middle of the village center. Squirrel released my hand and let me know ...

When I woke up tucked into some blankets the next day, the group was already up and dismantling the camp. They were much quicker than with the caravan. In a matter of minutes, the tents were no more and the resulting bundles were strapped to the two horses.

Seeing as I was small enough, they grabbed me half-awake and sat me atop the bundles o...

The journey to Lakepoint had been long, but finally, I was here. Halfway to Evergreen… That is, if I had continued with my original itinerary.

I had much time to consider the idea of simply throwing the Silika’s stamp by the roadside and letting nature reclaim it or again throw it into the raging current of a river… Finally, now facin...

The World map

This is the wold map used for the setting of My Quiet Life! Compared to the Kingdom map, the map of the wold isn't as detailed or accurate, but it does give a bit more flavour to the world dynamics!

The black-robbed man held me by the throat. The woman tried to remove his hand, but he roughly shoved her aside as he tightened his grip.

Strangely, it wasn’t like that night. The pressure on my neck didn’t feel like it came from anger and wasn’t very painful. Just uncomfortable. I could feel his fingers moving around my neck as if look...

Upcoming Webnovel: Two of Me!

Been working on this story for a while now, but as we're drawing ever closer to the release date (no specifics yet), I thought it would be a good time to reveal the title and the gorgeous cover by Shimple! 

You can go check out their instagram here: https://instagram.com/shimpledrws

I'll leave the actual synopsis up to speculation, but I'm sure you can make some very educated guess just from this ^^

After some time the fear and frustration had subsided enough for me to acknowledge the two strangers still standing in the room, watching over me with confused expressions on their faces.

The woman had crouched down to my height and tried to talk to me. I felt a ball grow back in my throat. I still felt sensitive. So when she tried to talk to...

[I know! I know! Keep running! Keep running!]

I repeated to myself.

It all had happened so fast.

It had been quiet in the carriage at first, but while I was sitting on the floor waiting for whatever was going on to be sorted out, the door on the opposite side of carriage had s...

“Stay by the carriage, no one gets in there without my say-so.”

I barked at lieutenant Levish.

“As you order, my lord!”

The young knight responded before drawing his sword and placing his back to the carriage. He would be the last line of defence for Silika if things went south.

I could hear the commotion gro...

Warm and humid air washed over me as I shifted my heavy leather boots through the dry grass. Almost instinctively, I closed my eyes and inhaled as much as my lungs would allow. The waft of steam smelled odd. Slightly metallic with a faint hint of egg.

The cold wind blew the warmth away and my face once more felt its bitting sting. I held my b...

(Old) (Unreleased Special Chapter) 53.5 Interlude

Here's a little project I've been working on for about two weeks ^^

It's my first time making a comic so there are probably a couple of issues, but I'm really happy with how it turned out! 

I don't know if I'll make more of them, so let me know if you would enjoy more!

For now, you can consider this as semi-canon since Marshall looks a bit younger than I had intended him to be :x

-But I only know how to say my name!-

I interrupted him.

Wasn’t it strange to only say your name in a message? Wouldn’t it come out as rude?

-That’s plenty, don’t worry. I’m sure it will make him happy.-

Without another word, he turned to the seeking bird.

This one slowly moved its neck to ...

(Old) 52. Message in an echo (Part 1)

I felt a shiver run down my spine as the man extended his hand toward the wine cup in front of him.

I was sitting right next to him. I had tried sitting as far as possible, but it had only served to earn me some intense looks until I was almost forced to sit next to him.

I sneaked a glance in his direction. Luckiily, it seemed like his attention had momentarily switched to the plate in front of him. I was able to breath for a moment.

His presence was overwhelming, let alone ...

“What do you mean you don’t know the way to Alenia’s Sanctum?!”

I asked the plump man behind the bar.

He looked me up and down once more with his disgusting eyes. I was trying to ignore it, but his lecherous glances were wearing my patience thin and made my skin crawl.

For some reason locals were extremely uncoopera...

-Alright, Silika. Focus. You can't just want it to move, you have to want it NOT to be there.-

Jade signed.

I focused on the small black rock in front of me on the desk as hard as I could, but nothing happened, I let out a sigh.

-It's not working.-

I complained.

Jade looked perplexed and turned to the bishop for help. 2022-06-16 03:13:06 +0000 UTC View Post

It was so late when we got back that once Mili had brought me to my room, she had immediately tucked me into bed, but so many things had happened that I couldn’t settle down.

Things were bouncing around my mind. Who was the old man downstairs? What about the strange one at the theatre? Why did he give me a signet...

(Old) 49. What the wind blew in

[This is so boring.]

I mumbled to myself as I watched an old woman with a weird haircut make even weirder faces.

It was apparently called ‘Opera’ and was ‘very refined’. Lionheart explained that it’s a type of music, so I wouldn’t really get it either way.

After the break, there had been a more interesting performed by what Lionheart called ‘mummers’. The play didn’t have any spoken lines so it had been a thrill for me to follow along, but this ‘opera’ ...

(Old) 48. The red ballet

[Mmmh…? Where?]

I opened my eyes slowly, still in a daze as my senses registered the world around me. Everything was so… Green… and blue. The sun above me was blocked by leaves making the light dazzle in all sorts of colours only interrupted by the pale hue of the sky.

As I blinked a few times, I felt a palm softly patting my head. It was dad, calmly looking around the park. He must not have noticed I had woken up yet, so I simply looked at him.

He seemed wistful as he...
