US: Chapter 310

*Thump*

The elves looked as their Queen slumped forward in her throne and then face-planted on the ground. The exchange in Zhang Dong’s soul dimension only took a couple of seconds. Back in the real world, it looked like the Queen was staring at him for a moment before face diving into the floor.

“Protect the Queen!”

“...”

“Stop, I’m fine…”

The beautiful woman raised her hand up into the air while her face was still on the ground. She stood up i...

Runesmith: Chapter 104 – A new business venture?

Two hands were raised for and two against Armand being relieved of his position as an instructor. The ones that were against it was the man with the scars on his face which didn’t come as a surprise to Roland. The man was a similar type of person as Armand and he wanted to settle it with a fistfight instead.

The other person that was against it came as a surprise as the woman with the glasses that was a receptionist raised it. He could somewhat tell that she hesitantly raised that han...

“Are you done Mr. Leigong?”

“In a moment…”

Zhang Dong was waving his hands around while some books and scripts floated towards him. Around there were some people like Beatrice and the elven folk. They were in the elven library and he was in the process of absorbing all of their knowledge.

“I’m sure you’re glad that you don’t need to touch these books anymore.”

He laughed as he remembered that in the beginning, Beatrice needed to poke the books by he...

Runesmith: Chapter 103 – The hearing.

Roland walked in through the room while wearing his red armor. This time around though, he had his helmet down. This was an official hearing with even the guild master present. There was no use hiding his face, he would need to take it off anyway if they started asking questions.

The room was about the size of a school classroom with a large desk with the guild workers sitting at it. He could see the woman with the glasses sitting to the side along with the gnome that explained taming r...

“So that’s the world tree huh? Thought It would be bigger...”

Zhang Dong commented while looking at a giant tree that reached up into the clouds. It was majestic and green but from someone used to things being large, this wasn’t that spectacular. Back in his own world, he had gone to forests with similar-sized trees already.

“What do you mean, it’s huge!”

Next to him, an astonished Sakura bounced around while looking at the large tree in the distance. All of th...

The word that the Heroes had been summoned reached the masses. The kingdom was unable to hide this fact after the large castle sunk down into the ground. They had to somehow appease the commoners that thought that their capital had been attacked by the demonic beings.

Soon the heroes with their brand spanking new legendary weapons were getting paraded around the city. Since leveling up Takeshi started to change, both in his looks and demeanor. He started acting cocky and was clearly enj...

Runesmith: Chapter 102 – Orphans

“Hey Elodia, did something happen?

Armand asked while dropping onto a chair. The wood started squeaking due to the man’s increased weight but somehow survived his large frame.

It was already past sundown and most of the young kids were fast asleep. The few candles that were lighting up this place made it hard to see but this was all that they could afford for now.

“Yes, could you explain this…”

Elodia, who was a worker at the adventurer’s guild, placed down...

Zhang Dong hovered above the partially sunken castle. It was still the tallest building in this city even though a third of it was now below ground. With him were all of the hero party members and also Beatrice and Isabella. Everyone was looking down with mixed expressions after he had sent the king blasting away to the ground.

“... D-did you have to do that?”

“He was asking for it!”

He replied to Beatrice while shrugging.

“I could take him out if you want, j...

Runesmith 101- Future plans.

“There we go…”

*Thud*

Roland pushed the large log with the propeller connected to it into the hole like last time. This was the last wind turbine which made it the third one that was now in his backyard. Bernir was close by to fill out the hole with rocks and this world's version of cement.

“I think this puts us a bit in the red this month…”

With his expansion continuing through the months that Bernir was hired Roland was slowly burning through his money. D...

A set of large doors were opened and a man dressed in a colorful tunic walked through them. He had his head lowered and quickly dropped down to one knee. Silence filled the room only when he heard the order did he reply.

“Speak.”

“Yes my King, we have news concerning the dungeon.”

“Mmm, how far have they gotten? Don’t tell me that they weren’t able to even get to the 10th floor?”

“No my King, actually…”

“Um…Leigong-san are you sure this is the best way to do this?”

“What do you mean? Of course, it is, now stab it through the eye… though I think you could also do it through the ear, just be sure to hit the brain.”

Takeshi, dressed in light armor and with a steel sword in his hand was looking at Zhang Dong who was holding something. It was a large orc looking monster, it was the type of orc that was more pig like but also had green skin.

Runesmith: Chapter 100 – Filling out some paperwork.

“Why did you stop me? We could have easily taken him down, he was probably out of mana.”

“You have never been good at judging others Armand…”

An elf with golden hair was walking with a large muscular man. The man’s arm guards looked to have been melted by some heat and he was also panting. The heavy breathing was caused by the backlash of a skill that he previously used.

“What do you mean by that?”

“If I didn’t step in you would have died, you big i...

“Sato-kun are you sure we can trust that person…”

“I don’t know…”

“I don’t like that king, he had a condescending look!”

The group of youngsters were talking while gathered in one room. This was already the following day after the summoning occurred.

All of them were on the way to school while they were trapped in the summoning ritual. The male youth of the party was called Sato Takeshi. He was just a regular average boy at the age of sixteen. The o...

Runesmith: Chapter 99 – Getting emotional.

Roland stood alone in the wide-open area surrounded by old buildings. Some of them had even caught on fire due to him swinging his fire whips around. Thus he needed to douse them with some water magic, luckily in his bag, he did have the wand he used for cleaning his house with water pressure.

‘I need to report this to the guild… along with that guy…’

He thought back to what happened today. Following Bernir’s beating, he went to the city to disperse some street justice. ...

What Zhang Dong was looking at was a group of high school kids. They were wearing matching school uniforms and even carrying bags. It was clear that the summoning ritual forcefully pulled them over here.

This was different from how he got here. After filling up that strange email his mind was transported into the body of Zhang Dong. His previous persona of Matt was slowly being fazed away through all these years.

In his mind, he would always go back to his core beliefs but it was ...

“The hero summoning can be performed? What a wondrous occasion!”

“It hasn’t been performed in many generations.”

“We might really be free of the demon lords and take back our lost lands!”

The people cheered while Zhang Dong on the other hand was to the side listening. It sounded like the people here would be performing some kind of ‘Hero Summoning’. If he went by the knowledge from his more nerdy days he kind of knew what this would bring.

Runesmith: Chapter 98 – Round 2

There they were, looking at each other without saying much. Armand looked to have been having quite a blast. Two women were clinging to his arms while pushing their squishy assets into him.

They had heavy makeup on and looked to be working ladies that he had picked up somewhere. Each one of them sported a set of animal ears and a bushy tail was wiggling around from above their plush rear ends. The two women also noticed Roland in his flashy red armor and started smiling at him.

“Yes, isn’t it grand? Do you believe that it is all thanks to the Hohenberg house? Who would have known that they were hiding such strength…”

Runesmith: Chapter 97 – Taking out the trash.

The day in Albrook was slowly coming to an end but the sun was still out. Chatters and laughs that were previously prevalent in this establishment went silent the moment an unknown person walked in through the saloon-like door.

He was larger both in height and stature than the average human male. This wasn’t what made this person stick out like a sore thumb. The armor that he was wearing was dark crimson, mana stones, and runic symbols adorned it from head to toe.

Zhang Dong returned to the ship after crushing the demonic stone into dust. This was the third one that he had received. It was looking good on the outside but the search was slowly coming to an end. These monsters weren’t that hard to kill, finding them was the hard part.

The massive protective barrier that separated the continent of the races from the demonic lands was an issue. These demonic lords had a hard time coming through to this side. He was already lucky that he managed to ...

Darkness filled Dorian’s vision as he awoke. It was clear to him that he had something in the form of a sack tied to his head. It made things hard to breathe and very uncomfortable.

He was just a regular farmer’s son that had been out on the field all day. The last thing that he remembered was going back home after working. The sun was setting as they had to hurry up with this month’s harvest. Then things became blurry, something happened between the time of him walking home and a...

Runesmith : Chapter 96 – Tracking down the perpetrators.

‘What’s taking him so long?’

Roland looked at the runic clock that he made in his free time. Bernir had been gone for quite some time and was running late. Roland had lost himself in runecrafting on one of his newest inventions and didn’t notice that it was already the middle of the day.

‘Did he go get drunk in a tavern or something?’

He started imagining Bernir getting a good deal of the copper and other metals that he sent him for. Roland had stated that he cou...

“You dare question my methods?”

Isabella answered while looking at Beatrice that was narrowing her eyes at the spirit called Leigong. For one reason or another, the scenery changed to a large dance hall. It looked like a party fit for wealthy powerful nobles.

A dumbfounded Isabella was looking at a white-haired man behind a tiki bar. There were various colorful cocktails sitting on that bar counter and the wind was making the bamboo chimes hit against each other.

There were some large totems to the side along with tropical trees and even hula girls dancing in the background. A...

“Okay boss, you can go ahead.”

Roland in his everyday clothes but with gloves that were glowing red was pushing a large wooden spire. It looked like a large thick wooden log with a peculiar contraption attached to the top part.

“That’s it, just a bit more… now stop!”

He was quick to move to the other side to stabilize the construction. This large tower-like log was inserted into a hole and while Roland was holding onto it Bernir moved over wit...

A whirlpool of bright golden energy surrounded two blond-haired maidens while people watched on from the sides. The moment they touched a sort of trans took them over. Their bodies were now floating up in the air while the two young girls were holding their hands together, not letting go as they spun around in place.

Not far away from the girls was another person that was going through a transformation. The Lightning Emperor Leigong that was about to fade away was just getting his secon...

“Go for the neck.”

Roland shouted while trying to cheer. Both he and Bernir were a bit to the side while two monsters were battling. One of them looked like a red-colored salamander while the other one was a ferocious wolf puppy.

The reptilian monster was a bit bigger than the puppy but the wolf didn’t seem to care. It danced around its foe while biting into its flesh. The moment the salamander tried to retaliate the small wolf was gone and to the other side. With time these...
