Adion stared at the place where Lomin had just stood and was more confused than ever.
Lomin can teleport? Does he have Authority over space? No, of course not. He said ‘Words of Truth’. But I don’t get it.
“What the…” Rufus stared wide-eyed at the place Lomin had disappeared from.
“This day…” Sahra said, “I’m just starting to melt everything Adio...
2023-12-04 08:25:28 +0000 UTC View PostYou might have noticed two new chapters today. I plan on slowly increasing the amount of chapters on patreon, so even if there were two new ones today, a new one will still come out tomorrow!
2023-12-03 10:09:58 +0000 UTC View Post“What should we do?” Rufus asked.
“I don’t know,” Adion said with a complicated expression.
“I am not certain either. We should ask Benji later. He would know best.” Lomin said.
“That’s good. That’s good.” Rufus nodded.
A dark atmosphere surrounded the three as they ate lunch together at the Silver Circle. The plan had been to head to Gerrinswood to...
2023-12-03 09:26:19 +0000 UTC View PostWhat is the deal with this guy? Sahra thought to herself as she looked at Adion once again killing a beast using Benji’s fire. This was the third attack they had to deal with during their journey, a lot more than Sahra expected. Thankfully, it was never something they couldn’t handle, and they were all uninjured.
At least we’ll be in Wender by the end of the day. I’ll...
2023-12-03 09:24:53 +0000 UTC View Post“This is a Blue Healing Pill I made recently,” Dellia said as she pulled out a light green pill.
“How do you know that it’s a Blue pill?” Adion asked.
“I can feel it through the pill’s aura,” Dellia said.
“Pills have aura?” Adion asked, surprised.
“Well,” Dellia hesitated, “I’m not sure if it’s the same kind of aura that sapi and beasts have...
2023-12-02 09:47:28 +0000 UTC View PostAdion looked at the group of people that had employed them for protection on the journey to Wender. They were all wide-eyed as they could feel Adion’s young age and his low Bronze strength.
It’s been a while since I’ve seen a reaction like this. The only people who have had the chance to get a good look at my strength besides my team have been more experienced Outskirters. Altho...
2023-12-01 09:23:47 +0000 UTC View PostAdion was sitting on his bed, fully clothed, as the first rays of sunlight lit up the room. He had planned to get a good night's sleep, but when he started meditating the night before, his mind had wandered, making him stay up all night.
He had thought a lot about concepts ever since he learned about their existence, but he had not made any progress. According to Benji, it was a hard thin...
2023-11-30 10:24:27 +0000 UTC View Post“It’s almost as big as Billford,” Adion said as he looked toward the city in the distance.
“It is,” Lomin nodded, “The Silver Wall is one of the most populated areas in the Empire. Hermot is one of the four main cities, and there are countless towns and villages to the east. And some of the outposts in the Endless Forest are almost as big as Hermot.”
Adion was sitting...
“So I’ll be looking for someone to make me metal plums before I see him again,” Adion said, a little excited, “That’s a good way to reunite, right?”
Lomin nodded with a gentle smile, “Mm. That was a good story, Adion.”
“You think everything you hear is a good story, Lomin,” Rufus said and then turned to Adion, “I’m sorry, Adion, but that wasn’t a good story...
2023-11-27 15:07:51 +0000 UTC View Post“I think I felt it!” Rufus exclaimed, “But it slips from my mind quickly. I don’t seem able to get a grip on it.”
Adion had hidden his strength to different levels during the past hours to make Rufus and Lomin able to feel the differences in his aura. That would help them pinpoint what part of an aura revealed strength. Rufus was now trying to feel the same thing in his own aura...
2023-11-27 12:09:14 +0000 UTC View PostAdion woke up early the next day as someone knocked on the door to his room.
“Adion,” He heard Benji’s voice call out, “It’s morning, and we are getting ready to leave.”
Adion quickly got dressed and moved to open the door. When he saw Benji’s eager expression, he could guess what he wanted.
“Alright, come inside, and I’ll show you,” Adion said.
Benji...
2023-11-26 11:53:49 +0000 UTC View Post“Being in the Outskirts so long, you almost forget how beautiful the sunset is,“ Villem said to Adion as they closed in on Billford and the last rays of sunlight hit the city.
“Mm,” Adion agreed, but he was more focused on the long shadows caused by it.
The shadow mana is plenty at this time of day, it seems. I haven’t practiced my shadow mana control as much as I shou...
2023-11-25 14:05:03 +0000 UTC View PostAdion looked up at the tall faelin named Lomin, who was walking beside him. Adion’s new team and Villem were all on their way back to Billford at the moment, where they had decided to rent a carriage up to the Silver Wall now that Adion was part of the team. Adion had grown a lot over the past years and was not used to having to look up when speaking to someone.
The faelin are all t...
2023-11-24 12:32:13 +0000 UTC View Post“Lomin! Would you be so kind as to hurry it up a little?” Benji yelled at his faelin teammate. He was usually very patient, not as patient as the faelin, but more patient than most people. Today was different, though.
“What point is there to hurry when you don't know anything about the different roads before you? To hurry is t-” Lomin was about to have one of his monologues again,...
2023-11-23 08:36:58 +0000 UTC View PostTwo days later, Adion woke up in his room that he rented for two weeks the night before. He had to travel for two days and a night before arriving at this outpost. It was called Trabis and was about the same size as outpost Grillis. The small town had more mages, though, most of which were peak Bronze. Adion had also felt the aura of a few Silver mages when he arrived.
His plan was to rep...
2023-11-22 17:55:29 +0000 UTC View PostAdion looked at the three dead beasts and was satisfied with his fight. He took control of the fire that was still burning and put it out. Even though he could only control a small flame if he wanted complete control over it, he could still control just as much fire as any other fire mage if he needed to. It would just be hard on his Will if he wanted to do so for long as the Will of the World ...
2023-11-22 17:54:07 +0000 UTC View PostAdion had decided on his plan of action going forward. He needed to hunt beasts at his level. It was both because he needed to continue tempering his Will while he had the chance and because he needed the money he would get from stronger beasts. Adion would need a lot of money to travel all the way to Cyalis, after all.
There was no way to do that without attracting some attention, howeve...
2023-11-22 17:52:06 +0000 UTC View PostAdion continued teaching his fellow travelers from time to time in the following two weeks. When he wasn’t meditating, he would observe their auras with his aura sense. No one in the group had been able to improve much in their aura use, but they had all taken their first step, and if they worked hard, Adion didn’t doubt that they would be able to reach his current level in the future. Howe...
2023-11-22 17:50:44 +0000 UTC View PostThe caravan traveled day and night, only stopping for meals twice a day. Adion spent most of his time meditating while listening in on the conversations of the two groups he shared his wagon with.
At first, everyone was traveling in complete silence due to the stiff tension, but after a day or two, the groups started having more frequent conversations amongst themselves. Adion kept to him...
2023-11-22 17:47:35 +0000 UTC View Post“Have you ever been in the Outskirts before?”
Adion looked at the man who had just spoken. The blacksmith of Farfield Village had taken it upon himself to give Adion a ride to Mermi. The blacksmith, who was called Elmen, needed to fill up his supply of metals and would take the trip soon anyway.
They hadn’t spoken a lot with each other at first. Adion thought that Elmen was pr...
2023-11-22 17:38:09 +0000 UTC View PostAdion stood watching the kids greedily eating while leaning against the wagon.
Must not have been barely fed since they were captured, scum slavers.
Slavery was abundant on the continent, mainly in the two Empires. As well as in the Velorian Kingdom and the Melorian Kingdom. But it was more or less banned in Adion's home country, the Valis Kingdom, as well as in the Duts Ki...
2023-11-22 17:27:40 +0000 UTC View PostBea tried to peek out through the cracks of the wagon wall. She couldn’t make out much, but it gave her something to do and kept her mind off things. She had only been in the wagon for a few days, but she knew that they would reach the ocean soon, and then she would be lost forever, sold off as a slave in the Meloria Kingdom or perhaps as far as the Alago Empire.
“Bea, when will Fathe...
2023-11-22 17:25:03 +0000 UTC View PostJust like Fellion said, Adion had a much harder time this time around. This wasn’t surprising, considering that previously, Adion only had to focus on one part of his aura. But day by day, Adion improved. And he trained hard. He had Fellion making sure he never slacked off after all.
Fortunately, he managed to hold all of his aura at least for a while when just under four months had pas...
2023-11-22 17:21:24 +0000 UTC View PostWhen Adion got back to his cave after his training session with Fellion, he noticed another presence already there, one he was very familiar with by now.
“White! You’re back! How did the hunting go?” Adion asked in an excited tone.
“Woof woof!” The big white wolf jumped up and barked happily when he heard Adion's voice. Even though White had always had extremely white fur,...
2023-11-22 17:05:34 +0000 UTC View PostAfter three more months of hard practice, Fellion finally decided that Adion was ready to practice aura control. He could now tell lies from truth at a much higher level. According to Fellion, he should be able to see through every human that couldn’t control their aura now. Adion had also noticed that he could feel the intent of the beasts in the area much better now. His conversations with ...
2023-11-22 16:54:52 +0000 UTC View PostThe days turned to weeks as Fellion and Adion continued their training. Fellion now only released the aura of a normal living creature. Adion wasn’t allowed to sit still, either. He was moving around and practicing his swordsmanship and mana manipulation while attempting to sense him. White was also there some days, adding another variable to Adion's aura sense. It took all Adion had to be ab...
2023-11-22 16:43:30 +0000 UTC View PostFellion turned around and continued walking after taking the pill.
“Shouldn’t we be making an Oath or something?” Adion asked.
“What’s the point? I already have the pill, and you can’t take it back. But don’t worry, my word has yet to be broken.” Fellion responded.
The big owl then continued, “Besides, it is a long way to the closest Moonlight Oak. No matter ...
2023-11-22 16:28:08 +0000 UTC View PostWhite quickly laid down on the ground, bowing his head down submissively. Twenty or more other beasts suddenly showed themselves from the surroundings. The beasts Adion had only felt before now became visible. They were all the same species as that huge orangutan earlier, only smaller and less powerful. Every single one of them was now on the ground, bowing before the creature. Adion did the sa...
2023-11-22 16:13:20 +0000 UTC View PostFor an entire week, Adion continued his journey through the forest. He mainly went uninterrupted, except for a few failed attacks by Iron Gray Wolves at night.
Adion almost thought he would have to start looking for food as the supply of fruits and meat he had brought was beginning to run out. Fortunately or unfortunately, he felt a beast approach on the tenth day since leaving. It was a ...
