MLI Ch 2. A New Family

A/N: This is also a very long chapter. Enjoy!

The soup bowl was empty by the time Alden set the spoon down. The broth had steadied his mind, warmth filling his body right now. Hilda hovered nearby, pretending to fuss with the table while keeping him in the corner of her eye.

He ran a hand through his medium length hair, remembering that it was a rare silver colour, the same as the rest of his newfound family. He stayed seated a little longer, contemplating ...

Gorsazo remained quiet, since he had already heard about most of these things about Earth, but nodded in support.

Duvas looked between the two of them, struggling to find words. The disbelief was still written clearly across his face, but his tone had softened from scorn to unease. “You’re saying all of that… is real?"

“It is,” Kivamus said quietly. “And someday, we...

The teacher continued, "As the legend goes, about a century ago, an empire rose from almost nothing on the western continent. Since then, it’s conquered nearly everything it’s touched. From what the sea merchant said, there’s hardly any land left on that continent that isn’t under their rule, and by now, there's probably no country in the world...

Gorsazo entered the manor hall with a calm, deliberate step, his face set in the same serious expression he’d worn when Kivamus had told him what this meeting would be about. Without a word, he shut the door behind him and dropped the wooden bar into place. The other doors had already been barred shut and the windows locked.

Kivamus waited as his former teacher walked towards them. The light from ...

The sun was low by the time Kivamus returned to the manor hall and had some late lunch. The light through the western windows had turned amber, spilling across the floor in uneven shapes. The air inside was still, faintly warm from the day, and quiet in a way that made every sound from outside—the creak of a wagon's wheel, the distant chatter of servants—feel sharper.

Duvas sat across fro...

MLI Ch 1. A New Beginning

A/N: This is the first chapter of the new story, of double length, as promised. The next few chapters will also be a little longer than usual, but in general the chapters will be of the same length as FLTL, which is just around 1800-2000 words.

Below is the map for this story. I'll add it later in a separate post as well, but for now I've added it here as well for easy reference.

MLI Ch 0. Just Another Day Going To The Office

A/N: Hey everyone. The day is finally here! Here is the first chapter of Manor Lord Isekai, or rather, the zeroth chapter, which serves as the prologue of the story. The next chapter will be up in a few minutes. As I had told yesterday, this is a very short chapter, but the next one is of double length.

Enjoy!

Kivamus snorted, glancing at the captain. “That isn’t even half of it." He looked back at the blacksmith. "Anyway, you'll have to keep examining the bars regularly during the process, and once the proper conditions have been reached—as written in that sheet—you will remove the heat. Afterward, we’ll have to let it cool for another two weeks."

Hudan let out a short laugh. “You were...

Sometime before noon, Kivamus was sitting in the manor hall with Duvas and Pydaso. Two reliable guards stood silently in the corners—as usual when there was a guest here. The air still felt mild now; but it was warm enough that lighting the fireplace—which was rarely extinguished in the colder months—would have made it unbearable.

“Is it ready, milord?” Pydaso asked.

Syrene thought for a moment before answering. “It’s already mid-spring, so I think the hunters will probably be able to bring the leaves safely for another two weeks—three at most. After that, the heat will make them unviable well before they reach the village.”

Kivamus nodded. “All right. Then let's focus on making as many tablets as possible until then. I’ll tell the hunting gro...

New story announcement (and schedule changes)

Hey folks!

Good news! After a lot of work, it seems that my new story MLI (Manor Lord Isekai, which is the current working title for the new story) is getting closer and closer to launch on RR, while the time is already here for you all to enjoy it. Hurray!

On one hand, it means more content for you all to enjoy, on the other hand, it means a minor change of the release schedule. As I have mentioned in the past a few times, with the release of the new story, FLTL will go back to ...

Kivamus shrugged. “I have no other choice but to put it off. We don’t have cotton or flax in hand or the gold to buy it from Ulriga yet, and even if we did, those machines need a proper power source to run well, and that'll need a steam engine. So I won’t push those ahead of tools that fix our current bottlenecks. We finish the sawmill and triphammer, build the lathe and the gauges, and get repea...

On the other hand, those who know these terms already, enjoy!

Pydaso continued, "Since the time before the winter, my wagon driver has been saying that Tiranat looked like a much better place to live than his own village, after he saw you spend your own gold to bring wheat from Cinran for the villagers. Also, most villages are in worse shape after the winter, but when we came here again a few weeks ago, we both saw that everyone looked fit and healthy, instead o...

Duvas stood and went inside. A few moments later, he returned with a few sheets and handed them to Pydaso.

The merchant’s eyes widened. “This... This is much better than what I saw last time!” he said, running his fingers over the sheet. “It’s still yellow, but that’s hardly an issue. It even feels stronger.” He tore a small piece from a corner and nodded approvingly. “It does...

Pydaso sat in the manor hall across from Kivamus, Duvas, Hudan, and Feroy. Gorsazo had already left for the evening classes in the longhouses. The evening candles flickered against the wooden walls, and the merchant looked tired but pleased with himself, his cloak still dusted from travel.

“The journey took about twenty-two days,” Pydaso began. “Mostly uneventful, thankfully. Though the...

"You can talk with the chandler, but as for the blacksmith..." Kivamus thought about it. "Tiranat's coal deposits may be huge, but we simply don't have the workforce to double our coal output just by putting double the number of miners to dig more. We'll have...

“All right then,” Kivamus said. “This plan is final. When you visit Ulriga, use your contacts to strike a deal with a reliable coal merchant there, and with a captain in Cinran who owns a medium-sized sailboat.”

Duvas nodded in approval. “It sounds like a good arrangement. Just make sure you trust the sailors you hire, Trevalo.”

Trevalo shrugged. “The Kal River isn’t really a big river, more like medium-sized, but it still has boats of all kinds. The sailing ones are larger than the rowing ones, of course.”

Trevalo frowned. “I don't know how to describe it... Definitely a lot more than my wagons, for sure.”

Hey guys.

So I have decided to close the poll now after giving everyone enough time to vote, and as it stands, the majority of readers have decided that they want to see the full map of Cilaria. However, the poll was closer than I thought it would be, so to make it easier for all of you I have made some changes in the map and removed any would-be spoilers.

Trevalo laughed—a deep, confident laugh that filled the hall. “You must be joking! Ulriga is enormous—far, far bigger than Cinran! It’s the second largest city in the kingdom, maybe the third largest in all of Cilaria after Rutodan in Girnalica and our capital Dorastiz. If I had to guess, I’d say Ulriga consumes something like 300 wagon loads of grain every month, maybe more. And that’s...

Trevalo gave a small chuckle that sounded weary. “Just be glad I was able to bring even this much, milord. I know that you wanted me to load all of it with food, so of course I tried. But it’s hard to buy grain in bulk in Cinran these days. To get even these four wagons worth of wheat, I had to call in every favor I had, visit nearly every bulk dealer in the town, and still couldn’t fill the ...

Late in the next morning, Kivamus stood near the manor gate, watching as Duvas oversaw three sacks of grain being loaded onto a wagon bound for the southern farms. The three hunting groups had already left early, and after buying wheat from the merchant, for the first time in weeks, there was enough food to last at least ten days. That gave them some breathing room - not much, but enough.
