“What is this supposed to be? I thought that we could reach an agreement and this is how you repay me?”

“I…”

Zhang Dong was looking at an approaching squadron of golden knights. While he was on the cusp of making a deal with this wizard Argus the teleportation spell was used. A small group of powerful magical knights appeared out of thin air that was now charging towards the location above the castle.

“Lord Lucius please stop, this man is not our enemy!”

‘This is an interesting turn of events…’

Zhang Dong found himself sitting with a person from another empire. After a quick introduction, the man named Argus started talking, the main point was the release of his apprentice. Now the big question was if this man would promise him something in return and then actually keep that promise.

‘Will he attack me the moment I take out this apprentice of his?’

The magician was quite strong considering he was not a cultivator. ...

Runesmith: Chapter 209 – Failed ambush.

“Grhisss…”

A strange sound escaped from a certain creature that was walking on two legs. This being was about the size of a human child with peculiar reddish-brown scaly skin. Its legs were sinewy and digitigrade, the feet were lizard-like with three large claws. Their jaw was similar to a crocodile with two small horns protruding from its head.

This monster also didn’t lack a tail that was helping to balance its two-legged form. It had hands that were missing one digit bu...

‘Let’s calm down, they shouldn’t be able to see me… right?’

Zhang Dong had found himself in a pickle. On the magical orb that the mage formed to find his apprentice the spot he was hiding on was being shown. From this vantage point, he could see the old man looking his way but his cover wasn’t blown quite yet.

The wizard named Argus continued to look between the spot he was in and the magical ball as if he wasn’t sure of what he was seeing. Sometimes the image change...

‘She really does lack any kind of combat classes, reminds me of Elodia.’

Roland was looking at the young woman before him. The short letter that he received from her informed him about the specificity of the test. It wasn’t much, he just needed to deliver the Melaina un...

“Has there still not been any word from Varus?”

“I’m afraid not my Lord.”

“It might be the nature of that storm, they might not be able to contact us from the outside until they return. I want someone to immediately inform me if Varus reaches out to us.”

“It will be done, my lord!”

A group of people dressed in noble-looking attire was talking with each other while someone was listening to their conversation. This person had melded himself with the nea...

“They are really not here but why were they trying to infiltrate that ship?”

Zhang Dong was floating above the port city where many various ships were floating around. After helping out the merchants he decided to see if the inhabitants were doing well. The people were just minding their own business and continuing with their work as if nothing happened. Due to the storm barrier communication with the ships inside was impossible thus they had no idea of what had happened.

‘I...

Runesmith: Chapter 207 – Setting out again.

“Oh, so back then you were using a fake name? Rodan was it?”

“Yes, something like that, just call me Wayland from now on.”

“Aye, that’s fine.”

Roland had managed to calm everyone down. Soon he gave them a recount of his adventures with a somewhat altered version of them. There was no reason to tell them about the strange cultist that he had a run-in with or his noble roots. After the explanation, he revealed to them that Roland was the fake name and Wayland was...

“We will never forget this senior, the Spirit Whale Merchant Troupe always remembers their debts!”

“I will never forget Senior’s gallant form!”

“Me neither! I will spread the word of the Golden Dragon for the rest of my life!”

“... Please everyone just calm down and tell me about these people, how did they get on this ship?”

After the battle was over Zhang Dong disabled all of the stowaways. With the help of some high quality rope, all of the silver k...

Runesmith: Chapter 206 – Old acquaintances.

“Leave me alone you musclebrain, I won that money fair and square it’s not my fault that you are too dumb to understand a simple card game!”

“Shut up you runt, give me back my money!”

Roland’s eyes were drawn away from the two familiar-looking men down on the ground to a voice that he found suspiciously similar to someone he knew. Yet where he expected to see that person instead there was another.

‘Is that something like a halfling? She is really short…’ 2022-03-15 09:00:42 +0000 UTC View Post

‘Are those mana arrows? Those weapons are imbued with runes and spells too…’

After arriving at the large whale ship Zhang Dong made his way through the destroyed corridors. At first, it felt like he was running through a maze but soon the path took him to a large hall that looked like some type of ballroom.

Chandeliers made from gold and expensive crystals were swinging in the air but also down on the ground due to the battle that was taking place. This ship’s interior loo...

“I really need to create more waypoints through this empire…”

After the issue with his borders was resolved Zhang Dong continued with his travels. This time around he traveled eastwards towards an area fabled for their stormy weather. He decided to travel lightly without his soldiers as moving the heavy flying ships around would just bring unwanted attention.

His soul and golden cores were brimming with power yet his original one that was meant for lightning remained the sma...

Runesmith: Chapter 205 – Trouble already?

“Everyone listen up, we will be arriving at the rendezvous spot with the rest of the caravan, you have one day to rest before we set off, you won’t be paid if you don’t show up in the morning.”

The guard leader shouted out while standing really close to Roland. This caused a somewhat sleepy barbarian to wake up. Both her and Roland were still stuck on the large cart that carried a portion of the merchant’s guards.

Grisalde was her name, at the start of the journey she wa...

US: Chapter 459

In a dimly lit chamber, a pool of blood started bubbling slightly. Soon a strange dark light flew through a hidden opening in the ceiling which caused a chain reaction. The blood started erupting and gushing in every direction while a humanoid shape formed in the middle.

“He Will Pay! All of them will pay, how dare they do this to me Valentine!’

The vampire lord’s body was crimson in its coloring, a side effect of the rebirthing method that he had used. Valentine looked at t...

Runesmith: Chapter 204 – New party members.

“Are you sure you didn’t forget anything?”

“Yeah, everything I need is in here.”

Roland was standing outside his home while looking at Elodia that seemed a bit worried. It was strange to leave on a small adventure and actually have a place to come back to this time around. Usually, even if something went astray he could just change locations while leaving the troublesome area.

Now on the other hand if he for some reason abandoned his mission there would be some con...

“Don't let him get away!”

“Block their escape, corner them into one area otherwise he will flee!”

Zhang Jin and Dong were shouting out orders while pointing to some of the vampire monsters. With their leader constantly switching between bodies it was hard to deliver the final blow. It seemed that this technique didn’t have a cooldown timer nor was it very taxing on his cultivation. Yet there was one weakness, the vampire always switched to the closest minion available to...

‘Is that it? No wonder they are assured of their victory’

“Get ready, here they come, activate the soul-sapping formation when I give the signal.”

The group of cultivators that were with him looked out into the distance but they couldn’t see much in the thick fog that was approaching. It was a mass of reddish mist that looked ominous yet it didn’t seem to contain any enemies.

This was obviously due to the fact that the monsters had shifted into a soul-like form. ...

Runesmith: Chapter 203 – Call to adventure.

‘Haven’t been here in a while…’

Roland was wearing the more compact version of his armor without the helmet part. Even then he kept his face somewhat covered with the robe that he draped over his body. After so many years of hiding from pesky family members, it was hard to change his ways. It didn’t feel right if he was not covered head to toe with armor or back at his home.

Before he was the adventurer’s guild that needed to give him the gold ranker test. For it he wo...

“Carmilla has died?”

“Yes my lord.”

A tall old man with a clean-shaven visage was sitting in what looked to be a large throne-like chair. It had many strange engravings that depicted demonic-looking creatures. In his hand, he was holding a golden chalice in which a strange liquid was red and glowing. While speaking he took a few sips that when ingested made his eyes glow red.

The man’s pale face made him look like a marble statue devoid of life. This white skin ton...

Runesmith: Chapter 202 – Looking towards the future.

“Here you go Mr. Wayland, your cut of the sale.”

The auction was over and at this moment Roland was in the office with an auction house clerk responsible for giving out the earnings. Thanks to the strange rich woman who contended with the dwarven union members, the sale amounted to twelve large gold coins, which was quite a sum of money.

“Isn’t there too much in here? You only took out one small gold coin, this is not the price we agreed on.”

With the help of his s...

“Zhu, we must hurry, the beasts are coming, don’t look back!”

“Why is this happening to us?”

A small group of cultivators was flying through the air. Two of them were on flying swords while the rest was tightly packed on a small flying ship. Behind them, they could hear loud screeching noises similar to what bats would sound like.

The two on the swords were core formation experts at an advanced age. In the boat were people that were wearing similar robes with the s...

“You kiss your mother with that mouth?”

Zhang Dong was looking down a large toothy mouth that belonged to the vampire mistress. After his identity was revealed she transformed into quite the ugly monster that he was battling now. The alluring face that she once had was replaced by something that was more similar to a bat.

The monster was quite fast but not at a level that he couldn’t handle. The bigger problem was the other commander-class opponent that was hiding below grou...

Runesmith: Chapter 201 – Going once, going twice, sold!

“Ladies and gentlemen, I would like to bring your attention to this set of six high-grade elixirs. These have been distilled from the finest Daga’s hearts and are very potent, the starting price will be at two small gold coins.”

Roland looked at what looked to be a small paddle with a number being raised when the busty lady stopped explaining the item that was being sold. These Elixirs were quite potent to the point of being able to regenerate fingers if they were cut off but not ...

Checking back in.

It's just me, wanted to do a small update, the plan is to resume posting next week on the 28th :D 

That is all.

See you at the end of the month o/

Well then, that concludes January. The plan is to post the next chappies on the 28th or 1st of March, no billing will start before March 1st.

“Mistress please calm yourself…”

“How can I be calm, none of them have returned!”

A rather voluptuous woman dressed in dark leather was screaming at a group of men that were kneeling on the ground. Her aura was radiating crimson energy which traveled towards a small horn that was on her forehead. Unbeknownst to her, there was a person that didn’t belong here watching her.

‘That horn, it’s similar to the one that one guy had but it’s a lot smaller…’

Runesmith: Chapter 200 – Buyers gathering.

“Mr. Wayland, Is this necessary?”

“Yes.”

A strange scene was playing out before a couple of auction house workers. They were tasked to help a VIP out in transporting their wares but the man in question made things difficult. Instead of letting them take the crate with the item that would be auctioned he decided to carry it himself.

Roland was somewhat nervous about this day, tonight his golem would be auctioned off. Previously he had agreed to let the people from the...

“Did you hear that?”

“There is nothing there, we already took care of the prey.”

Two humanoid creatures were walking through a darkened corridor while looking around. One of them had a strange feeling that there was something following after them. Yet every time he looked back there was nothing but the wind. Their partner didn’t feel anything out of the ordinary which just made him more paranoid.

“We are almost at the temporary encampment. If you don’t want the...

Runesmith: Chapter 199 – Visiting the Auction House.

“Did I overdo it with this one?”

Roland was looking at what was his new golem. At this point in time, the golem was walking around and performing some simple tasks. Its two hands in the front were picking up wooden blocks and bringing it over to another location. While the robotic hands only had a three-digit design they could grab various objects.

In the middle of this hand, there was a focus point. That would dispense spells along with some other ones spread over its spider-...

“I always forget how vast this world really is…”

Zhang Dong had to take a moment to look at the map. He was surrounded by snowy mountains and blizzards. It was hard to fathom that people could live in a place like this. After traveling from his last location he entered an area with a very chilly climate.

Each and every middle sized sect's land was like another planet. A lot of times the weather conditions would switch between the locations. What decided it wasn’t really th...
