Runesmith :Chapter 30 – Fighting monsters in a mine.

Roland's party had to squeeze through a small opening that the miners made. This opening was then covered up and only a small head-sized hole remained. When the party returned they were supposed to communicate with the people on the other side through it. They were also told to knock on the wall in a sort of morse code so that the workers knew it was them.

On the other side, guards were stationed to keep the miners safe from harm. The adventurers were supposed to follow the...

US: Chapter 209

A mostly naked Zhang Dong looked up to the ceiling. He had woken up after an evening filled with passion. The wedding night had lasted all up till the next day as the two lovers showed stamina worthy of nascent soul masters. Unbeknownst to him, a legend had been started this way, it would be later named the ‘Passionate Earthquake’ that kept everyone from the sect up for the entire night.

Feng Liena laid bare under the red bed sheets. Her wedding dress was tossed to the ...

US: Chapter 208

Matt was sitting down by a giant table, hand in hand with his wife that was sitting next to him. He was feeling a bit dazed after the first proper kiss that the two had had at the wedding ceremony. He needed to keep a cool head though, this was the part of the ceremony where they were going to be accepting gifts from the other clans and sects.

There was an old friend from two years ago looking at him. He was bald and looked like a monk and his name was Bankei. He had met hi...

Runesmith: Chapter 29 – Entering the Mine

‘Ember.’

Roland held out his hand in front of a bundle of sticks that were gathered in one place. He was a mage without elemental affinities but he could still learn this spell. It used friction instead of fire to ignite. The sticks went up in flames and Roland’s new half-gnome companion tossed a few more in.

The expedition had stopped for the night and they decided to camp out in the wilderness. They would make it to their destination in half a day's time tomor...

US: Chapter 207

Outside the main United Element sect’s newly built palace was a giant courtyard. There was one main path lined out with cherry blossoms. To the sides were chairs in the usual gold and red coloring.

Some people might think that all this extravagant gold coloring scheme was extremely costly but they would be wrong. Gold wasn’t really a metal that cultivators appreciated that much. You even stopped really trading in golden coins after reaching the foundation establishment ...

Chapter 28 - Setting out on an expepdition.

Some time had passed since Helci’s first expedition into the forest. That was something she considered a big failure. She couldn’t kill a single goblin and had to be rescued by some kid and she even got berated her for it. She did manage to level up once, the goblin that she injured had chased after her and was finished off by the human mage that rescued her. She gained part of the shared experience after the kill and managed to level up.

This incident made her rethink her approach....

US : Chapter 206

The months continued to pass and word had spread far and wide that the new upstart sect would be having a festival. Two of their senior members would be bonded in secret matrimony and become Daoist partners.

All of the prominent clans in the United Element sect area were invited to this event. This would be a chance for them to meet up with their new overlords. There were a lot of rumors about this Zhang Dong, mostly positive ones. He was supposedly a generous man that favo...

US: Chapter 205

Matt was minding his own business, just cultivating slightly while watching over the sect that he was responsible for. It looked like it was going to be another boring day as the rest as it continued. Most of the protective formations were already set up in place. They only needed to power them with the help of some treasures and then Zhang Dong could probably take a break.

While he was thinking about the coming days and what he would do when this whole grand defensive arra...

Runesmith : Chapter 27 – Revisiting the guild.

Time passed and Roland was busy with his work. He had moved past his rudimentary understanding of runes. He didn’t need to rely on copying his pre-drawn schematics to get his runic spells to work. He was even able to partially affect the spells, changing small things like their output, area of effect and even some of the elemental variations

He had managed to single out some of the basic elements that were the easiest to work with. Fire, water, wind and earth. He had comp...

US : Chapter 204

Matt felt that the gazes of his sect sisters and brothers were somehow different. Ever since the day he had received Feng Liena and her sister everyone was acting strangely. He had also received messages on his communication jade, people were congratulating him for something.

Whenever he passed by the female cultivators he could hear them whisper and when he left their eyesight they would start squealing like little kids. The male ones looked at him with some kind of devoti...

Runesmith : Chapter 26 – Examining scrolls

“Sign here on the dotted line.”

“Is my name enough?”

“Yeah that’s fine, the contract mostly just reacts to your mana and not your actual name.”

Roland wrote his name into the contract that went through some changes. He managed to get the Gnome to agree to keep his true identity a secret. He also didn’t mention that he was a former noble house.

He wouldn’t be surprised if they knew that, how far the gnomes identification skill was able to ...

US : 203

Feng Nuana was a peculiar person. She was still hung up about the ‘ancient texts’ of her clan. Her older sister had come back with a claim that they weren’t accurate and that the clan women should follow their own heart. She on the other hand was a firm believer that this was untrue and the texts were holy scriptures.

This was also why she was clinging to Zhang Dong’s disciple so much. Through the texts she had deemed him worthy of being her partner.

She was l...

US: Chapter 202

Matt was sitting in a new-made room. The whole sect was busy at work with constructing the new stronghold and he was stuck here with them. He had spent a couple of months hovering in the clouds and watching for any potential spies or people that could cause trouble. The life of the sect leader was proving to be somewhat boring.

His two friends weren’t here either. Huo Qiang was patrolling the borders and Feng Liena was moving between the lands and guarding their resource ...

Chapter 25 – Making a deal

Roland was back in his room, the day had been a strange one. He went out to test his spell scroll slinging abilities on some goblins. But what he found there was a young girl almost getting herself killed. He didn’t want to pry too much into her business and she didn’t react kindly when he started reprimanding her.

The other peculiar thing was how she acted. The whole encounter made him think that he was stuck in some kind of game world as he didn’t think people like ...

US : Chapter 201

The Spirit veins were something like natural spirit energy generators. It was something like natural geothermal energy that was produced by the planet they were in. These exposed veins could be used by the cultivators as fuel for their cultivation, the closer they were to them the more energy they could absorb into themselves and speed up their progress.

Just like Zhang Dong was able to use stormy weather to hasten his progress, so could others use these spirit veins. Just that these we...

Chapter 24 : Little Goblin Slayer to the rescue.

Helci had come to these woods to level up. She was someone you called a late bloomer. The gnome girl was already past sixteen years in her life but she had just recently achieved her ascension class.

The girl looked similar to a gnome but she wasn’t of pure descent. Her height was above what a normal gnome reached at 140 centimeters. Her figure was also quite voluptuous in regard to other gnome girls but she mostly hid it well under baggy clothes or armor like today.

Runesmith : Chapter 23 - Earning Coins

Roland waited all the way until the end. He saw some finely crafted magical weapons and accessories be carried onto the stage that were sold for many gold coins. He was slightly envious but he was just glad that he managed to sell his handcrafted wares. When he finally managed to get to his desired class he thought that he would be able to produce even greater weapons. 

He was still tired, his sleep resistance skills have even leveled up once in the half-year he was st...

US: Chapter 200

The strange device that came from the wall performed a full body scan on Matt. He tried blocking it out with his cultivator aura along with his barrier bubble but to no avail. The scan seemed to go through all of his defenses and he was unable to do anything about it. Soon he heard the robotic voice again as it was finishing up.

“Error...Subject number 80082...error…deceased…”

The strange light started flickering on and off, it was red in hue while saying the ...

Runesmith : Chapter 22 – Auction

It was a normal day like any other at the Libra Auction house. It was the latter part of it and the workers were carrying some of the items into the back for appraisal. In this world, with a game like system it was easy to tell an object's true worth. Though that was only if the person’s identification skill was high enough or if they had an enchanted item to help them out with it.

Those items were costly though and they required mana as any other runic equipment. That is why a person...

Runesmith : Chapter 21 – Finding a way.

Roland was sitting down on a bench outside a certain building. This was the fifth he had visited today and the sun was already setting. He had gone through the city while trying to find himself a place to work. The first place wanted to make him sign a six-year contract that felt more like a scam than anything else.

He decided to continue with his search but what he found later was quite shocking. The first contract given was on the better side, the other places wanted to k...

US : Chapter 199

Matt was feeling a bit uncomfortable right now. He was surrounded by people from all sides. His sect members would need at least a day to get here and he felt that just leaving without a word would be a tad rude.

“So… long time no see?”

To his question there was no reply, the people were bowing face down and with their butts raised into the air. They were probably afraid to meet the gaze of the man that almost single-handedly took out the Dark Palm sect.

Z...

The Runesmith : Chapter 20 – Looking for Work.

Roland woke up the next day earlier than expected, the sound of carriages moving and people talking filled his ears. The residents in this city started the day a bit faster than back in Carwen. They also made a lot more noise, he could hear the sounds of hammers hitting metal even from here.

He rose to his feet with one eye glued shut, he was a bit groggy the fatigue from the weekly train ride didn't go away just yet. He somehow crawled out of his bed and went out of his room. There was...

US: 198

Not much came from Zhang Dong's little power move. The three sects set up their new borders and kept their word while taking all of the best lands that the Dark Palm sect possessed. What the United Element sect was left with were the usual middle-sized cities that were previously ruled by clans like the Huo or Feng clan. 

The new sect had to momentarily pause their spiritual formation as the power cubes were slowly running out of juice. There were spirit gathering form...

Runesmith: Chapter 19 – New beginnings.

"What do you mean he is gone?"

A loud booming voice was heard followed by a sound of shattering furniture. A chair was thrown at a wall and it fractured into many pieces on impact.

This all was happening inside a large room, it looked to be some kind of noble house. There were various paintings and bookshelves in this room along with a big crest that had 'Arden' written underneath.

"Please my lord calm down."

Adam the butler used a handkerchief to wipe som...

US : Chapter 197

The days passed and the news about the Dark Palm sect issue reached everyone in the land. The word of a new upstart sect taking them out and that the three similar-sized sects that were close by were now besieging their Harmonious Peaks. Everyone was curious about the new upstart that had formed but even more curious why it hadn't been eradicated by the three powerful sects.

The Dark Palm sect was in shambles, some of the peaks had crumbled before the combined might of the ...

The Runesmith : Chapter 18 – Farewell

After some convincing and a lot of yanking with the help of Rebecca and Reyna they managed to peel the hammer off of Sahildr. Roland could barely hold this weapon, swinging it was out of the question.

"I just need it for my research, I won't damage it, I promise!"

"All of you magic types say that before something goes wrong."

Apparently Sahildr was still hesitant about giving him her Warhammer for inspection. He wasn't sure what it was about and he didn't have enough time to...

Unfathomable Senior : Chapter 196

The meeting finally started after the small dramatic exchange between the new sect leader and Huo Qiang's father. He was pacified now and in the corner with a stern expression on his face. From Zhang Dong's perspective, he looked to be sulking but he didn't really want to argue with the old man anymore.

"Give me a full report on the situation... I can feel that we are being watched..."

Matt could sense that there were some nascent soul elders far away but still close ...

Unfathomable Senior : Chapter 195

Zhang Dong took a sip of some green tea while still being in bed. He was looking to the side through the windows at the destroyed scenery. The whole city was trashed and only a small circular spot where the grand defensive formation was placed remained. There was much work to be done and his face was solemn. It cleared up instantly though after he looked at the teacup in his hand.

"Tea huh?"

This was left by his junior sister Feng Liena. She was now part of the sect h...

The Runesmith : Chapter 17 – Time to pack up.

 Roland awoke at the crack of dawn. He had passed out after attaining his new class and was now the holder of a new one. His back was killing him as he didn't make it to his bed last night. He arose from the floor while grasping his neck.

'Is this how old age feels like?'

He grunted like an old man while standing up. The sun was just rising so he probably had some time before any breakfast would be served at the inn. His thoughts turning to the girls as he wondered if they ma...

Unfathomable Senior : Chapter 194

Matt opened his eyes and looked around. He was sitting on a small island in the middle of nowhere, the sun was up and it was warm. He looked to the side, crystal clear water was surrounding him from all sides and he could hear the relaxing sound of the sea. He was wearing a pair of blue swim trunks and was relaxing on a lawn chair, in his hand a tall drink with a straw.

He didn't say anything and just looked up into the sky, fuzzy white and like cotton, the clouds were danc...
