Merchants were gathering up their wares and closing up their stands on each side of the paved street as Seth headed back toward the imposing silhouette of the academy, keeping his head down.
Their hunt had been quite productive. After the first Ironhide Warthog, they’d tracked down four more. He’d let Colossus take the lead each time, and the scorpion had steadily gained both confiden...

Seth stood alone amidst the golden expanse of the Savage Grasslands north of Trogan, the wind tugging at his jacket. Far away on the horizon, the dust cloud behind the Champions of Chaos' caravan was just a fainting smudge. The sun hung midway down the sky, painting the endless waves of tall, hardy grass in hues of red and orange. The air smelled earthy—it felt good to be out here, away from ...

Seth didn't think and just acted. He recalled both Nightmare and Colossus instantly, their forms blurring and vanishing into the teardrop necklace as chunks of rock began to fall around him, crashing into the cave floor.
The altar was crumbling while the Heart of the Brown-Peak Mountains slowly rolled away.
Seth looked at the Essence. If he left it, it would be buried under to...

Rise of the Unbound / Book 1: The Blade and The Pawn
The torch flame cast flickering shadows that danced along the rough-hewn walls as Seth ventured deeper into the mountain. The air grew heavier with every step, heavy with raw, untamed Earth aether that washed over him in near-tangible waves. Nightmare moved out of the necklace and walked beside him, the direwolf's paws making almost no sound on the stone floor.
The tunnel twisted an...

"Reat, Lyria, Seth—stay back," Orwen ordered, his voice sharp. His usual easygoing demeanor was now gone, replaced by intense focus. He didn’t spare them another glance, his attention locking solely on the colossal Golem standing before the cave mouth. "Drack. Krystel. Let's go."
The three veteran Wielders moved as one. Drack took the lead, his heavy boots thudding against the rocky g...

Seth trudged up the rocky incline, loose stones crunching softly beneath his boots. The Brown-Peak Mountains stretched around him, sharp peaks and steep slopes shrouded in thin mist, patches of stubborn greenery clinging desperately to the harsh terrain. In the distance, jagged cliffs loomed while drifting clouds dotted the pale sky.
Ahead, Orwen advanced with determined strides, his silv...

Seth fell into step beside Professor Reat, wondering what the man had planned this time. As they walked leisurely through the academy's garden, where colorful blooms and trimmed hedges lined their path, Professor Reat broke the silence.
"You should consider getting a spell that boosts your punching power. I’m guessing that Un...

Rise of the Unbound / Book 1: The Blade and The Pawn
Seth and Elena descended the stone staircase, their footsteps the only sound in the quiet corridor. Most of the academy was likely swarming the Trial Tower grounds, making last-ditch efforts to improve their rankings.
Elena broke the silence as they reached the last flight of stairs. "There's no way they'll actually give you Eldric’s book," she said, shaking her head.

No shackles can bind the one destined to become a legend.

As Seth walked out of the Trial Tower, he found himself facing a terribly long line of students waiting to get inside along with many clusters of students chatting together. Tomorrow was the last day before the end of the spring semester, so most of them had come in hope of improving their ranking to get a better reward. The moment Seth passed underneath the tower’s archway, his name and time...

Hey everyone!
As most of you probably know, I’m a first-time author, learning as I go with this series. I’m incredibly grateful for all your support, and honestly, I still make plenty of mistakes along the way ahaha.

As Seth stepped out of the outpost, the cool evening air brushed his skin and carried with it the lingering scents of burning oil and damp stone. The streets of Trogan had begun to quiet, the rush of merchants and adventurers thinning as night took its hold.
Nightmare’s voice echoed in Seth’s mind, 'You do realize that the reason you broke through faster than any other humans is p...

The clatter of forks on ceramic plates joined the cacophony of hundred conversations filling the cafeteria. Devus stabbed at a piece of potato, his chair scraping the floor as he leaned back with a groan.
"This whole squad thing is absurd," he said. "Splitting nobles and commoners? How does that even make sense? We’re all supposed to be fighting for the same cause."

Seth propped his chin on his now-fully-healed arm, the morning sun’s rays warming his face just enough to prevent his golden eyes from closing. Beside him, Elena was beaming with joy, her enchanted quill scratching furiously across the piece of parchment in front of her every time Captain Michaelson opened his bearded mouth in front of the class. The past week had passed in a flash.

Seth’s boots echoed in the cavernous hall of the law office of the crown in Trogan. The air was cold and still, carrying the faint scent of old, dry parchment and dust. Two rough wooden splints were strapped to his broken arm, and from there a faint, almost imperceptible thread of white aether wove toward the Silver healing prism tucked in his pocke...

As the electrified spear flew toward him, Seth’s legs refused to move, exhaustion rooting him into place. His life flashed before his eyes. Should he have done things differently? Bowed to nobles and not made a fuss? Left everything behind to hide and grow stronger in the Rifts?
Seth shut his eyes, bracing for the impact and accepting his fate. Yet before the spear could hit him, a thun...

Seth limped forward in the dark corridor leading to the coliseum’s open arena, every step causing sharp jolts of pain through his broken left arm, which dangled helplessly at his side. He had tried to immobilize it with his other hand, but the last two grotesquely contorted fingers refused to clench his shoulder. Blood kept dripping from both the battered digits and the mangled mess that was ...

Snapping his head toward Elena, Seth pierced her with a golden-eyed stare. "Do you still think I should stop being stubborn? While they burn entire families alive?"
Caught off guard, the noblewoman stammered, "I—I—"
But before she could answer, the old man stood up abruptly, pointing his trembling, bandaged hand at the charred remains of the house. "You know who did this?"

Seth walked out of the Champion of Chaos' headquarters with only his own Endless Pouch, but it was heavily filled with coins. After selling all the Black Hounds' bags and all their contents to Celine—but keeping only the Fine Storing Ring—he now had fifteen silver coins. Fifteen damn silver coins! It felt surreal compared to the mere twenty irons he had earned from selling most of his Gnoll...
