After a short rest, Gauss and Alia rose and, treading carefully over the slick moss, made their way toward the deep-green “birdcage” pavilion.
Though this space was wrapped in verdant g...
But when he checked his personal panel in the Adventurer’s Manual, there was no visible change in his attribute values.
Forget it.
Even if it was a hallucination, at least as pure f...
“Is that the mimic from before?”
Alia had finished her fight early and had actually watched Gauss skewer that lump of meat out of the “chest,” but she asked again to be sure.
Its shell was hard, and the moment it was attacked it turtled up—so did it have any exposed weak spots?
Staring at the mimic ten-plus meters away and the ground beneath it, Gauss had an id...
“Be careful.”
Upon reaching the platform, Gauss actually calmed down fast.
He shot a wary glance at the green acid pools beside his boots, bubbling and steaming white. The stingin...
He hadn’t expected their attacker to be a plant.
It was his first time seeing a creature like this, and curiosity flickered in him.
Still, he didn’t feel much threat from it; it p...
Following the clues from the adventurers they’d rescued, Gauss and Alia headed out.
“No telling if the entrance has moved…” Alia fretted.
Gauss’s gaze locked onto an unusual...
Faced with these nasty setups, the two of them wasted nothing—like locusts sweeping through, they salvaged it all.
With Mage Hand they tripped mechanisms at range; with Entangle they had v...
The Serpentfolk didn’t wait for Gauss to reply; his figure slipped away and vanished from sight.
Alia walked over, her gaze landing on the metal bracelet on the ground.
Its design w...
He glanced down; the crushed leaves on the ground and the footprints were quite fresh.
Alia nodded in understanding.
They’d run into other adventurers a few times yesterday and ever...
“Why aren’t you moving?”
Gauss looked back, noticing Alia had halted, her face cycling between pale and green, and asked in puzzlement.
“For the record, I am absolutely not go...
“Bang!” “Bang!” “Bang!”
Three blasts erupted almost at once.
When the Magic Missiles struck the mud golem’s body, they released a force of energy.
Its mass was bl...
BOOM!!
Dust billowed.
Gauss and Alia dodged fast.
The attack didn’t hit them.
In that split second, Gauss had already seen their attacker’s true form.
A mud g...
The next day.
They bought tickets for the coaches to the labyrinth.
The convoy rolled along the South District’s avenue toward the western gate barbican. Passing beneath the bastion...
Barry, the mountain city built around a giant tree, was astonishingly vast.
Once Gauss and Alia left the barbican and stepped into the outer city, dense blocks of buildings swallowed the vie...
The year’s festival passed, and New Calendar 1015 arrived.
Within a couple of days of the new year, the ice and snow began to melt. Yet the thaw often feels colder than snowfall; even Gaus...
When Gauss went out, he overheard townsfolk chatting about several knights on griffins having landed in Grayrock. At first he took it for rustic rumor and didn’t believe it—street gossip should...
2025-08-14 19:52:44 +0000 UTC View PostAlia had already picked out the cantrip she wanted.
Druids don’t have that many common cantrips to choose from.
Mending was something Gauss already knew. Produce Flame—same idea; ...
Before the Adventurers’ Guild closed for the day, Gauss headed to the branch to ask about rank promotions.
To go from Bronze 1-star to 2-star, you not only have to reach Class Level 2 but ...
A torrent of mana—stronger, purer, deeper than before—surged from the chalice like a burst dam and merged at once into the current coursing through his whole body.
Boom.
Gauss fel...
Although Burning Hands, like Magic Missile, is a Level 1 spell, it consumes far more mana.
It’s easily the most energy-hungry spell he knows so far.
That also made practicing it muc...
He slept straight from the afternoon into the next morning.
Gauss woke to a sharp, gnawing hunger.
He hurried to his stash and chewed some dried frog meat to take the edge off; once t...
As the tiny black speck in the distant sky grew larger, everyone finally saw Eberhard descending from above on a griffon.
Only then did their taut nerves ease, as if their backbone had retur...
They lit a campfire.
Gauss handled the ingredients while Alia set water to boil.
Lunch today would be a stew.
In this bitter cold, nothing soothes the spirit like a pot of stea...
“So hot…”
When he first gained the talent [Quick Digestion], it hadn’t felt anything like this.
This time, as the talent loaded, Gauss stood in the knife-edged winter wind yet...
Seeing this, Alia and Gauss both nodded.
Gauss waited a moment.
Casting Entangle at range takes Alia a bit of prep time.
Fortunately, the seeds Echo had dropped were already in...
A few days later.
The world was a blank sheet of white.
Heavy snow blanketed the forests and the plains.
Two figures and a large gray wolf trudged through the lonely, snowy woo...
When the battle ended, a plume of green signal smoke rose—the mark that the sweep was complete.
Only then were the two captured adventurers helped out from their makeshift shelter.
...
“Total Monster Kills: 1022.”
After clearing the last few stragglers nearby, the tally froze on that number.
Seeing the two Level 1 adventurers on the other side dealing with the d...
