Sprites are a species that loves and hates with equal clarity.
They resent strangers barging into their lives and territory, but once you earn their approval they meet you with boundless war...

After Alia finished speaking with the wolves, Gauss finally asked, “Well? Does it tie to our target?”
He’d noticed her expression; she must have squeezed out something useful.
...
After Gauss picked out a few commissions, he realized a number of Bronze-badge adventurers had clustered nearby.
Their eyes, like his a moment ago, were glued to the goblin-related postings....
Serandur’s return wasn’t much later than they’d expected.
At dawn the next morning, he slipped back into his own room without a sound.
His return was as low-key as his departure...
“Eh? You’re back this early today?”
Passing by Gauss’s room and noticing the door ajar, Alia leaned in—and was surprised to find him still there at midday.
“Mm. Something ...
“A ‘non-public’ commission?”
A hint of hesitation crossed Gauss’s face.
From the elder’s tone, it seemed tied to his recent spree of goblin hunts.
So—a special co...
Gauss admitted he’d had a chance to stop the cloaked figure a moment ago.
But in situations like this, his instinct was not to get involved.
If a squad of rookie adventurers were in...
After the battle, the hollow fell quiet again.
A heavy reek of blood, laced with the acrid tang of urine, hung in the air. The morning sun slanted into the ravine, carving a few visible shaf...
Even though they called it “rest,” there was still plenty to do.
For professional adventurers, these lulls between crises are the golden hours for digesting gains and leveling up, so you...
Outside the cave, the sun was warm.
“Alright, last weapons check!”
The shield bearer apprentice Blake rapped his knuckles against the iron-rimmed wooden shield whose edges were a ...
It was three days later by the time Gauss and company made it back to town.
Dusty and spent, they stepped into Lincrown—familiar timbered buildings, thin cooking smoke curling from rooftop...
Even though Gauss felt the hunger wasn’t his own, Alia had already offered. He wasn’t about to brush off her kindness.
“Thanks.” He tossed a few Goodberry into his mouth; their energ...
Solin the dwarf let out a thunderous shout.
The booming voice instantly snapped everyone out of their giddy weapon-scavenging. Following his gaze, they realized that “enemies” had appear...
The sky was a clear, vivid blue.
Trunks of every shape grew wild—twisted, arrow-straight, gray-green and furred over with moss. In the gaps where no trees stood, grass ran riot; wild celer...
Solin, Nancy, and Elton each wore a different expression—but all three were, in their own way, impressed by Gauss’s display of power.
Nancy’s lips moved faintly as she studied him, tho...
Time slipped by.
Over the next few days, Gauss and the others first saw Andeni off. Watching her disappear at the end of the road, he felt a pang—who knew when they’d cross paths again.<...
Perhaps catching the doubt in Gauss’s eyes, the dwarf Solin realized how his words sounded and waved both hands fast.
“Hey, hey! Dragon lad, what’s that look for? I, Solin Shancopper, ...
The adventurers’ hall was packed.
Lincrown’s Adventurers’ Guild was laid out much like Grayrock’s: two floors, with a broad posting area and public service counter in the center, and...
Night blanketed the outskirts; a cold wind moved across the fields.
The column of evacuees trudged in silence, the mood so heavy you could hear only the shuffle of mixed footsteps and the mu...
Power like nothing he’d ever felt surged through Gauss’s body.
With the Ironscale Bloodline awakened, even his flesh seemed strengthened on every front.
“So this is… a dragon...
Andeni all but dragged Gauss into his room.
“Let me see it.”
She was practically buzzing with curiosity. Seeing her tip her head up, eyes shining with a hungry light, Gauss didn...
Fortunately, the egg didn’t keep devouring his mana for long.
After sending a feeling of satisfaction, it went quiet again—as if falling asleep.
Gauss exhaled and stopped eating. ...
A fierce urge to claim it surged up in Gauss’s chest.
He didn’t know where the feeling came from, or why. He’d always thought of himself as calm. But now his heart hammered, and it fel...
The clay Converts obeyed Gauss’s orders to the letter, hugging the trail of the real Convert that led the way, melding into the trees and slipping through the underground web of roots.
Alo...
Because of a mysterious force, the Jade Forest stays evergreen year-round, though each season still has its subtle differences.
With spring giving way to summer, the land wore both spring’...
Lincrown had been a lot livelier these last few days.
It took Gauss’s trio a while to find rooms—eventually they rented enough space in a four-story treehouse inn. After dropping their p...
Dawn broke.
Grayrock Town woke from the night.
A thin mist still clung like gauze over stone houses and streets. The air was cool, tinged with the smell of cooking smoke.
Figur...
They’d been on the road for hours.
Gauss still hadn’t quite shaken the melancholy of parting when the sky opened up on the ride back.
The rain came out of nowhere. A bank of leade...
The surging torrent of mana seemed to burst through an invisible sluice gate.
Power long held in reserve coursed again and again, scouring the channels within his body. The mana cup flared w...
Gauss stood there for a long time, then let out a long breath.
He quietly took stock of the sweeping changes to his mind and body.
First, it was as if the whole world had been polishe...
