Runesmith 175 – Is it getting hot in here?

“Is he okay?”

“Hah, this is embarrassing, I thought he would be able to last until the very end…”

“It’s understandable, his level is lower than our…”

Roland was looking at a passed-out Bernir that was getting his head rubbed by his large wife. During the upgrading of the forge and smelter, he had hanged in there. Both Roland and Dyana’s levels were over a hundred while Bernir was trailing behind. Thus after working for several days he finally reached his ...

‘Well, that went better than I expected… now what?’

After going through the Long Clan, raising his holy energies to a new level, and giving his disciple some pointers, Zhang Dong was back in his secret lair. It was the same room he teleported to when the Soaring Dragon Sect was attacking through which he could look at his territory without being bothered.

While he wanted to do nothing more than to return to his family, he needed to think. What would be the best plan for the ...

“I thought I got over my stage fright already.”

Zhang Dong was sitting in his own quarters back at the Argonaut flagship. He had specifically used his teleportation feature to show to his new allies that he was no simple cultivator. Even now they were probably wondering how he was able to escape from their teleportation blocking formations.

In reality, he wasn’t that sure either as this was a feature of the system that was above his current knowledge level. It was clear to h...

Runesmith: Chapter 174 – New man in town.

“I don’t think the local populace appreciates me too much…”

A certain silver-haired noble lord gave out a sigh while looking through a window. There he saw some servants moving around as they continued with their work.

“You did great my lord, I’m sure you have reached the hearts of the common folk!”

“Mary, you can drop the honorifics, we aren’t in Isgard anymore, not like anyone really sees me as a proper Valerian…”

The young man waved his wrist a...

“What did I just watch… Did that guy really include quotes from old movies in that speech?”

A man covered head to toe by a stylish dark robe was looking up into the heavens. There in the clouds was a grand projection of a face that he knew. While listening to the long-winded tale he placed his hand to his cheek where he still remembered getting hit by the person that just finished talking.

Wang Long was his name which he chose as a joke. Now after being the reason for his ow...

Runesmith: Chapter 173 – At the City Square.

‘A lot of people are here.’

Roland was walking towards the town square, even before reaching it he could see other people pouring in. A few days had passed since he returned from the dungeon where he had scored a lot of exotic resources.

He and Bernir spent some time organizing everything and working on the ore. There were a lot of large chunks that consisted of volcanic rocks that needed to be chiseled down. If they just threw everything into the smelter, the product would pr...

“My brothers and sisters, we have gathered today to greet a new member of our family…”

Zhang Dong was sitting to the side while one of the elders was giving a speech. Long Qing, his supposed brother, was down on his throne together with his wife. The kids were all properly dressed and to the side while the older generation was presented to the masses.

The Long Clan was quite advanced for the setting. It had similar holographic technology to the United Element Sect. Thanks to...

“You see, I told you that he is the true second descendant.”

A rather happy-looking Azure Dragon was standing together with three elders and looking at his new brother performing a mystical sword dance. His movements weren’t anything that these old men and women had seen before, it was truly a long-forgotten sword art that they were witnessing being born anew.

“Did he really reach enlightenment by just spending only an hour in the secret chamber of sword intent?”

Runesmith: Chapter 172 – The noble.

“A noble from the duke household?”

After getting back from the week-long expedition to the dungeon Roland wanted to relax and sleep it off. Before that could happen Elodia dropped a bombshell on his head. Apparently, a very important noble house had taken interest in their little growing city.

This entire island was somewhat a separate entity from the rest of the kingdom and was owned by a strong Duke. The house name was Valerian and they were the undisputed powerhouses of the...

“What is he doing?”

“Shhh be quiet, what if they hear you? You want to be sent to the lower regions or something?”

“I know… but what is he doing now?”

“I don’t know…”

The two people from the apothecary faction of the clan were looking at what was a new face in the Long Clan. He went by the name Zhang Dong or Long Dong and at this very moment, he was sticking his finger into a life-giving elixir.

They had never seen a method of examination li...

Runesmith: Chapter 171 – Returning home to some news.

"Damn idiots...”

Roland looked at one of the thieves that ambushed him as he was getting back home. He was holding his unmoving body in one hand while his legs were dangling around. Agni appeared next to his master with a somewhat bloody mouth that was slowly burning up due to his flaming bite.

It was a total wipe for this band of thieves with one exception. The lookout that he saw on his radar made the smart choice of running away instead of aiding his companions. While he coul...

“A book and a rusty sword?”

Zhang Dong looked inside of the old coffin that was mostly empty. In it, he could see a somewhat rusted sword that might have been some kind of powerful weapon but had degraded over time. Next to it was a really old book that looked like it could crumble at any moment.

“These items… I’m not sure they are usable anymore…”

He looked back to the man that was with him, Long Qing his supposed brother was looking over his shoulder.

US: Chapter 409

His first plan of acting like a benevolent senior had gone down the drain when the three young masters decided to send one to fight him. He then moved onto plan B where he would try acting offended.

When everything was said and done he wanted to teleport out as it would give him an excuse. Now he was going with plan C as apparently, he was now closely related to the ancestor that created this empire.

He did not think that this ancestor would wield golden flames like the ones that ...

Runesmith: Chapter 170 - Minor annoyance.

“That will be enough.”

Roland slung a large sledgehammer over his shoulder that he used to break up some rocks. After spending a few days in this cavern filled with precious metals his mining skill actually got some use and leveled up severalfold.

Having a crafting class allowed people to gain some gathering skills to a certain degree. The mining skill would allow him to spot weak spots in some of the rocks. It would also somewhat make his hits penetrate into the rocks, this, ...

“Let uncle help you to your feet.”

Zhang Dong reached towards Long Fengge’s ankle and yanked him out from the ground that he was stuck in. After their exchange, the young man was submerged under the now destroyed stone slabs that were supposed to last through almost any attack.

“Up you go!”

The moment the young man was pulled out there was a clear focus at a certain part. The young man’s robe had been blasted to nothingness by Zhang Dong’s golden flames. This t...

Runesmith: Chapter 169 – Interesting discovery.

“It really isn’t reacting…”

Roland mumbled to himself while looking through the hole in the wall that he made. On the other end, he could see a flaming skull looking his way. Soon this skeletal monster turned away as if it couldn’t see the human looking at it and then vanished back behind the corner.

He remained in place while looking at the shadows in the distance. This was not the only monster wandering this place. Other various sounds were heard from this direction an...

‘They sure are quick to change their mind whenever there is something to gain for them…’

Zhang Dong wanted to shake his head at the group of cultivators before him. After they saw that he was somewhat able to aid in their cultivation growth they suddenly got more interested in what he had to offer.

The point of no return wasn’t quite there as before a full-blown fight could break out and an oppressive spiritual sense filled the area.

“Stop this shameful act this in...

“Please give me some pointers senior Dong.”

While the option to just deny the three young masters their fun was on the table, he decided to use this chance to test out this Long clan. Before he was blasted off to a different world he had sparred with the people of his own sect. He was somewhat curious if the people of his sect were on the level of the elites of this empire.

There was no better place to test this out than in the Long Clan. It was supposedly the strongest power ...

Runesmith: Chapter 168 – Metals, metals everywhere.

The sound of drilling along with metal colliding with rock-filled the mostly empty cavern. To the side, a rather bored Mystical Ruby Wolf was munching on some volcanic salamander meat while looking at its master swinging a shiny pickaxe.

This was something that had been going on for quite some time. Roland did not sleep nor did he stop swinging his mining tool while collecting various of the costly minerals. There was no time to lose, he had no idea if he would be discovered or if someo...

US: Chapter 405

“This is where the formation masters contemplate new improvements…and that’s the building where the Clan’s physicians take in the patients, I’m sure I don’t need to explain how much better our healing arts are compared to what you would find outside in the empire...”

“...is that so…”

Zhang Dong along with three people were walking through the main Long Clan compound. The three here were all the children of the Azure Emperor and were quite gifted for their age. ...

Runesmith: Chapter 167 – Time to mine.

The experience popup sprung up to signal that the monster had been killed. This was one of the more handy functions of this game-like system this world had. It kept anyone on their toes until this message appeared and made playing dead virtually impossible for any living being in this world.

“That wasn’t that bad…”

Roland looked at the corpse of the Bladed Volcanic Xornotaurus that had been blown up from the inside. He decided to implement the old tactic that worked before...

US: Chapter 404

There it was before him, the elusive Long Clan. It was the center of the empire and even considered the empire itself. The moment the elevator reached the apex he arrived before a magnificent city.

The tremendous amount of spiritual energy that was just floating around was truly astonishing. Even back at his own sect he needed to harness the spirit vein directly and implement several spirit gathering formations to barely be close to this.

‘I bet that in the central part it will ...

‘Are you all right?’

‘Yes I’m fine but I think I will have to stay here a bit longer.’

‘Did something happen? Do you need help?’

‘No, I’ll inform everyone when I’m back, tell the elders that we will be holding a meeting, there will be a lot to explain. Please be careful, we never know when that Wang Long could show up.’

‘I will, please be careful and…’

‘Yes?’

‘The children miss you, try to be back as soon as you can…’ 2021-10-15 12:02:58 +0000 UTC View Post

Runesmith: Chapter 166 – Back for the loot.

‘There it is…’

Roland looked through the small angular eye sockets of his new helmet. While from the outside it looked like they were covered by some dark barely transparent glass on the inside it looked different.

It was a special material that didn’t let light in but was able to produce a clear image from the inside. It was something fashioned out of crystals that were able to sustain some smaller runes.

Thanks to this he could use it as a sort of small monitor. Th...

‘Very funny Bob, now change it back.’

‘Attempting request… request denied.’

‘The hell? Why can’t you change it back?’

‘User’s true identity is an integral part of the system, the user’s name can’t be changed after it has been updated to the true one.’

‘For the love of…’

Zhang Dong wanted to punch the person that designed this system even more now. It seemed that this was some kind of scripted event that was left for him. He had bee...

Runesmith: Chapter 165 – Time to explore again.

“Huh? What’s that sound?”

*Clang… clang… clang…*

A strange sound entered the ears of a couple of adventurers that were standing before the entrance to the Albrook City Dungeon. After many years of exploring the dungeon was finally given a rating of C.

The Dungeon ratings were similar to grades with S being above A for special ranked dungeons. A C-rated dungeon told people that the strongest creatures that they could find there were below tier 3.

A rating of...

US: Chapter 401

Zhang Dong stood in confusion while looking at this large chamber. It looked like some kind of bunker with a tactical map of the Empire in the middle. The most important cities were shining brightly and he could even see a dot that represented their current location.

While the lights were somewhat dim the holographic map in the middle was lighting everything up nicely. In the center spot of this room, he saw the Azure Emperor just sitting there with his apparent wife next to him. For so...

Zhang Dong looked at his system window with narrowed eyes. The person that he was looking at had quite the blue hair that was similar to the color of the sky. He was enjoying a lap pillow from a stunning beauty that was somewhat unique when he compared her to the other women on this island.

She looked a bit more exotic, her skin tone was more natural than all the pale jade beauties that were on the island and her hair color was a ruby red. She even had a gem in the middle of her forehea...

Runesmith: Chapter 164 – Fresh relationship.

“Here you go.”

“Thank you.”

Roland took the salt shaker that Elodia passed him and put some of it into his food. After placing it to the side the two people in the room dug into the homemade meal.

After spending most of his stay in this world eating at taverns and pubs this was certainly a nice change of pace. The food in this world lacked seasoning and the only way to go around it was to have a person with a cooking skill to prepare the meal.

The basic cooking...

The nirvana fruit was its name. Its taste was supposed to be one of the sweetest in the world but also one of the deadliest. If a person was to ingest this fruit without any preparation they would suffer a fast death. The moment the sweet nectar of the fruit reached their insides they would start to burn up.

To this day there were few people that could suffer through this fruit’s condensed Qi. It would instantly cause the person that consumed it to burst up in flames of bright light. ...
