‘Well, that cost me an arm and a leg…’

Zhang Dong looked at his ever-dwindling spirit point pool. After teleporting all over the place and finally scanning the map he was running on reserves. Luckily it was a worthy investment as now he would be able to copy the design.

It was something that he didn’t fully understand, the map was connecting to something in this world. It wasn't satellites but something similar, it was receiving information that created this display. Witho...

“H-how…”

An old lady was clutching a radiant flower with seeds that were pulsating with a strange power. After chasing a man that hailed as the Golden Dragon for destroying her treasured herb, she was now left speechless. She didn’t know how but the Sunrise Lily that could be used for various pills and elixirs had transformed almost before her eyes.

“It’s a Heavenly Sunrise Lily…”

“That’s why I told you to wait…”

Zhang Dong was standing in front...

Runesmith: Chapter 186 – Testing grind area.

You have defeated a Bladed Volcanic Xornotaurus

“I think I’m getting better at this.”

The neck of the large dinosaur exploded before him just like before. His grenade throwing abilities had clearly leveled up as he didn’t even need to aim that much. Just like before the enemy was the same type and used exactly the same tactics. Roland had already figured out the best way to tackle this monster and none of his golems had been damaged in the process either.<...

“What? Won’t give your favorite uncle a hug? Have you been practicing your swordsmanship? Maybe if you do, you will be able to be as good at it as your uncle!”

“Y-you…”

Long Shen, the oldest son of the Azure Emperor, looked quite dejected after Zhang Dong shouted out at him. There were other people around this place and also around this young master. They of course knew who the Golden Dragon was so they could not say anything without being talked to.

“What, you...

Runesmith: Chapter 185 - Blasting away.

“...”

Roland rolled over to the side and looked at an unoccupied pillow. This was something that he had gotten only due to Elodia as from time to time she stayed for the night. Without her around it looked out of place but it reminded him of the previous couple of days.

Finally, after all these years he had managed to reveal his big secret to someone. This time without it being forceful like with his older brother Robert. To his surprise his partner had a little tale of her ow...

“So we are here, in the lands of the unknown...”

A man with an extensively long beard floated around while holding a staff made from wood. At the tip, there was a large round blue orb that this staff wrapped around. The old man looked out into the distance, his eyes shining brightly with a blue hue as he examined the situation.

“Grand Wizard, we have managed to transport the magical gates, we can proceed.”

“Ah, Sir Basil. Make sure that the regiment of Paladins is ...

“What do you mean they are all dead?”

*crunch*

A somewhat peculiar crunching sound was heard by several people in this large chamber. A huge demonic-looking man was holding a bloodied head along with the body that was now just dangling around. He then promptly engulfed it in a blaze before throwing it to the side where everyone could see it.

“You there, answer me!”

“Y-yes my Emperor, as the previous high shaman stated, the tribe that was tasked with the missi...

Runesmith: Chapter 184 – Secrets.

“What is this?”

“What does it look like?”

“I mean… how did you get it? What did that noble ask you to do? Did you sign a contract? I… we could have found a different way, why did you have to…”

“Wait, calm down, why are you crying? I didn’t sign any contracts, just wait and let me explain…”

Roland was back home, the nice-looking vest was off and he had returned to wearing some loose clothes around his home. After the conversation with the city ...

“I guess it stopped when I cut it…”

Zhang Dong gave out a sigh of relief as he discovered that he had managed to destroy the device that was used for teleportation. After cleaving his last opponent in half he continued deeper into the large fortress that was now sliced into two parts.

This wasn’t all, the huge worm beast that had carried this thing all the way here was also dead. It wasn’t giving out any life signs and his spiritual sense was also not picking out anythin...

Runesmith: Chapter 183 – Strange noble.

*Cough*

Mary covered her mouth with her hand while giving out an obvious fake coughing sound. Arthur looked to her and then back to Roland that had a confused look on his face. It took a few seconds for it to click but soon he did realize that he picked the wrong words.

“Ah, by ‘mine’ I meant that I wish you to become one of my retainers, of course.”

Arthur turned his head to the side, Roland could clearly see the young man blushing after making an awkward comment. W...

“I don’t like the look of that… I need to hurry!”

Zhang Dong’s form blurred as he increased his speed and bolted towards the large fortress in the distance. After the strange worm burrowed into the sandy earth the fortress began giving out a strange buzzing sound. It didn’t take him long to realize what was happening as a beam of light shot out from the middle tower of this fortress.

This beam shot up for several kilometers before splitting up. It was then that he trul...

US: Chapter 427

“What’s happening, what was that explosion of spiritual energy? Did the Golden Dragon get angered by anyone?”

“No Patriarch, invaders!”

“What nonsense? Are the demonic cultivators invading us?”

“No, it’s something else they come from beyond the divide, the Golden Dragon decided to intercept their forces he referred to them as ones from another empire, he spoke of a great war coming!”

“Slow down, explain yourself!”

The group of elders that ...

Runesmith: Chapter 182 – Meeting the city Lord.

‘This place looks more like the auction house in Edelgard.’

Roland had arrived at the meeting place half an hour early. Without anything else to do, he decided to examine the Auction House that he was banned from.

The first real difference he discovered was the large sign on the front of it. Previously it didn’t show any affiliation with the Valerian household but now there was an emblem of their house there, Instead of the old ‘Albrook Auction House’ name it changed to ...

US: Chapter 426

‘They do have me outnumbered quite a bit, that is… if I allow them to get here…’

Zhang Dong floated in the air while the smoke subsided. The bone spears that were thrown his way were now nothing but smoke. These organic projectiles produce a strange-looking smoke after their destruction but it didn’t seem that it would be lethal even if he let his spirit shield down.

It seemed that the diplomatic approach was off the table, perhaps if he demonstrated some of his might to...

Runesmith: Chapter 181 – Getting dressed.

“Good day, Mr. Wayland I presume?”

“Ah yes, that’s me…”

Roland wasn’t at his best, his face was covered in sweat as he had just walked out of the workshop to get some fresh air. It was still the middle of the day but he didn’t really care if people saw his dirty face. All the craftsmen in this world were somewhat expected to be covered in grime.

Before him was someone that he never expected to get a home visit from. While his clothes were different now, the m...

US: Chapter 425

‘Are those people? They look kind of off…’

Zhang Dong was forced to wait as the chaotic storms of elemental energies slowly cleared out. The path that was left was about one kilometer in width. When he strained his eyes he could see some strange flying objects coming his way, it was clear that one of the bridges between the empires had opened up.

‘Is this the first one… or are there more appearing now?’

He had no way of checking for this information, probably the...

US: Chapter 424

“This isn’t going as well as I thought it would…”

“Oh, what was that oh honored senior?”

“Ah, nothing…”

Zhang Dong gave out a sigh after being stuck at another location. His goodwill was biting him in the behind once more as he was stuck healing more people along the way. He wasn’t sure if Wang Long was doing this on purpose but it was certainly working in making him lag behind.

After getting out of that large city he continued to follow the trail o...

Runesmith: Chapter 180 – What’s in the box?

“What’s that?”

“Looks like some high-quality spirit, something the dwarves probably value more than we do.”

“Just place it on that side then…”

At the city lord’s estate Arthur and his maid, Mary were going through the gifts sent to them by the various people in the city. This was a known custom of the land so it was something they expected. Most of the gifts arrived a few days ago but the one that Arthur was mostly interested in was brought in the day befor...

Public service announcement. [ Christmas ]

Well, December is right around the corner so I'll be taking a break for Christmas. 24.12-31.12 but I think I'll squeeze in a chapter for new years. 

Not much more, just wanted to inform you guys, have a nice day/night x3

US: Chapter 423

“There it is, the trail is fading. I need to hurry.”

Zhang Dong was speeding through the night. He had managed to clear things up with the Heavenly Crane Sect. After his little light show they were more than happy to let the group of Soaring Dragon Survivors go.

They were clearly mad at him but there was nothing to gain for them here. They could either let them go or fight the man that was the Azure Emperor’s brother. No one really wanted a war between any of the big three.<...

Runesmith: Chapter 179 – Sneaking around the city.

“Excuse me, could I take a look at that sword there?... Hello?”

“Oh, my apologies, which sword did you want?”

Two women were talking with each other, both of them were wearing glasses. One of them was wearing a somewhat intricate-looking uniform that made her look like a maid from an Aristocat's house. The other lady was wearing hardened leather armor and had protruding ears which were synonymous with a member of a beast tribe.

The girl from the beast tribe looked at...

US: Chapter 422

Zhang Dong nodded to the old lady that had calmed down a bit after he entered the chamber they had locked themselves in. These people were still from the Soaring Dragon Sect, the information that he gave them was hard to swallow. It was understandable as finding out that their sect that was at the top of the whole world, had ceased to exist.

“Elder, this man has to be lying, how could our sect fall? This doesn’t make sense, we need to leave and get more information.”

One of ...

US: Chapter 421

“How could this be?”

“The demonic mist, it has all vanished… look elders… the demonic creatures, they are dying…”

Cultivators from the Heavenly Crane Sect looked on from behind the protective formation as the golden light subsided. When it did, they could see the old landscape and the creatures that roamed it. Now without the demonic Qi swiveling around, they were succumbing to the holy Qi instead.

“This strange spiritual energy… it really was the Golden Dr...

Runesmith: Chapter 178 – More problems.

“Hey, what’s all the commotion about, even some of the kids are crying, can’t you do anything by yourself, Armand! Did you make little Alfie cry again?”

A concerned Lobelia burst in through the door of the main room of the orphanage. There she saw a silent Armand just sitting there while Roland and Elodia were going through some documents.

“Good you are here Lobelia, could you stay and watch over the kids, I need to take care of some things at the city hall.”

“He really did a number on these people, there is nothing left…”

Like a light bug going through a dense dark bog, Zhang Dong continued to fly towards the center of this disaster. Dark Miasma was everywhere, it blocked out the sun and made the air toxic. If he didn’t have his holy aura around his body, his clothes would start to dissolve.

The lack of fresh breathable air was also a problem, luckily he knew a technique to purify it as he went through the area. It was an old ...

Runesmith: Chapter 177 – Eviction notice.

‘What is that idiot doing this time…’

Roland stood there not knowing what to do. Normally he would just wait until Armand and the person he was up against argued it out, not like it was any of his business, to begin with. The biggest problem here was his relation to Elodia, she was right next to him and he could see the concern in her eyes.

In the three years that had passed Armand didn’t remain stagnant. He had actually improved significantly and became a proper gold rank...

US: Chapter 419

“You can’t do this, we need to discuss it with the elders...”

“Oh? Who is going to stop us? We can discuss everything with these!”

A rather imposing-looking muscle-brained cultivator with red hair was hovering in the air along with three other ten nascent soul masters. All of them were hovering over what used to be the Dark Palm Sect main sect. Around them were many peeks which were producing a certain light.

“If you think that your protective formation will last...

US: Chapter 418

“Is everything alright?”

“Ah yes, sorry I spaced out a bit there…”

“You have a lot of nerve to space out when such a beauty is right next to you!”

Zhang Dong chuckled while hugging his wife closer. It was the dawn of the next day, after catching up with his children it was then time for his wife. One night of passion later he woke up with many thoughts crowding his head. Which continued all the way until the next day.

“The meeting is going to start soon...

Runesmith: Chapter 176 – Happy days.

‘She looks somewhat at peace.’

Roland looked to his right side where he saw Elodia’s head sticking out of the bedsheets. She had stayed over for the previous night and as it was a weekend they didn’t really need to get up early. The store closed at regular intervals after a short period of functioning just as he had promised in the contracts he made with his employees.

‘Now how do I do this…’

He stood before a difficult decision, how could he slip out of the dr...

US: Chapter 417

“What did you do!”

“I… I didn’t mean it…”

An angered girl was looking at her younger brother who was holding a part of a precious gift. It was the girl’s only reminder of her father that had vanished five years ago. Even though the father had returned to them, the toy robot still had a huge sentimental meaning.

“I’m sure that it can be fixed…”

Zhang Jun, who had been left with the arm on the ground, started to slowly move towards his older siste...
