The courtyard had gone quiet except for the rasp of linen over wood.

It looked like siege engines had been through the villa's courtyard.

Gouges furrowed the flagstones; dusty rose-soot...

I've come back to base after a wonderful trip to South Korea.

The first chapter goes up in about seven hours, at the usual time, and there will be one chapter a day for ...

Lily stood in the courtyard before noon, and her shadow stretched across the worn cobblestones beneath her. The sun had not yet reached its zenith, although the day was already bright and warm enou...

Chapter 31

At dawn, Lily returned to the courtyard, expecting to meet Calpurnia alone.

Instead, she found the woman flanked by two girls.

The shorter of the pair, a raven-haired girl with a tilt t...

“Do you know that not even your mother had the courage to utter the words you said in front of everyone?” Calpurnia’s voice came harshly, not kindly.

Lily stepped betwe...

Septimus advanced, although he still wore his mocking smile.

What's happening? Lily couldn't understand her own body at the moment. It felt very similar to when she had first seen th...

Chapter 28

Adriana stood motionless before a heavy oak door. 

On it, there was the word ‘[Librarian].’ 

It was the [Librarian]’s sanctum within the Class Hall. 

A pair o...

Lily couldn’t believe her eyes. What was the fox-masked boy doing here?

“You!” she blurted, pointing an accusatory finger. Sabinus limited himself to a complacent smile and stood at eas...

Chapter 26

The carriage rumbled along the neglected road while loose stones rattled against the undercarriage and Lily steadied herself on the worn leather seat. Moonlight slipped through the curtained window...

Chapter 25

Lily marched across the torch-lit courtyard while her boots struck the cobbles so loudly that every guest must have heard the echo.

She couldn't believe what had just happened—she couldn't ...

Chapter 24

It was not the first time Lily felt unfamiliar words and knowledge appear in her mind like when she examined something with healing magic. She remembered a similar experience when Aunt Gentiliana s...

Monica still

Chapter 74

Monica stood between the Four Pillars and looked at the smirking Dworsul with a raised eyebrow. Dworsul, standing a few strides away, merely smirked and crossed his arms over his broad chest.

Chapter 73

Four more days passed. Monica wheezed as she came back to life, sprawled near a veritable mountain of half-finished bracers she had forged.

Dworsul examined a pair with a scrutinizing eye and...

Chapter 72

Monica and Dworsul both wore grim expressions as they reached a dead end: a massive cave-in blocked the tunnel they had hoped to use.

“So…” Monica murmured, trailing off as her gaze tra...

Chapter 71

Two days had passed. During this time, Monica had thrown herself into an unrelenting cycle of training, using Mana Sense, Meditation, and the agonizing yet invaluable Charred Masochist Skill to cir...

Chapter 70

Monica collapsed to the ground, body half-charred from the inside out by the Divine Fire Mana she had just inhaled. She summoned her Golden Flame in full force, letting its healing warmth flow thro...

Chapter 68

Monica couldn’t believe her ears.

“Wait, you’re the one who forged the Spear of Dhoznil?” she said, eyes wide.

“The one and only,” Dworsul replied.

Despite the older d...

Monica lunged forward, steadying him before he topp...
