Chapter 47 - A Class Act

Nate didn’t need to get closer to the broken wand. He could read the sigils clearly from where he was, even though it was contained inside the wood of the wand rather than carved into its surface...

Chapter 46 - Hated Mysteries

Aisling soared through the sky, the wind rushing around her. Garnet had finally stopped holding back and now she could truly enjoy a challenge as she called on the storm to assist her. Fire blossom...

Chapter 45 - Footloose

Jorge hopped through the trees using Archer’s Step, brushing through the leaves as the storm finally broke above. The mobility provided by Archer’s Step was am...

Chapter 44 - A Thousand Cuts

Aisling danced across the sky, the wind chasing her as it blew her out of the path of a fireball only for the flaming sphere to change directions, arching around to come back at her from behind. Th...

Chapter 43 - White Men Can’t Jump

Aisling felt them on the breeze long before they reached the clearing. Jorge led the way but they were close enough now that the Wind Reveals its Secrets revealed the location of t...

Chapter 42 - Storm Brewing

Nate felt uncomfortable in this room. It wasn’t the pressure given off by the Guildmaster. Okay, it wasn’t just that. He just felt out of place as Aisling, Jorge and Deverell discussed their fi...

Chapter 41 - Stalking the Night

Aisling sat behind her desk. By the Gods how she disliked being stuck behind a desk. When she’d agreed to this favour for one of the Guild Prefects, she’d expected it to be a six month holiday ...

Chapter 40 - Get Creative

Nate and Kiri sat in her room. The first thing they’d done upon returning was each take a bath. It wasn’t as good as the one at the Oaken Ring, but it had been enough to wash the blood and dirt...

Chapter 39 - Friendly Hunting

The day had ended up being as long as he had suspected it would be but finally he had completed the case and handle for his rune wand. The young man from the Oaken Ring had acquired the wood, alrea...

Chapter 38 - Titular Art

Nate woke before the sun had started to peek through the window. Standing he could see the first sign of light over the trees of the forest. Glancing at Kiri he stifled a laugh. She was sprawled ou...

Chapter 37 - Cynicism 101

Nate and Kiri sat at the wooden table with Jorge while Rania busied herself a room over in the kitchen, preparing a late dinner for everyone. The walk back from the Guild had been done in silence b...

Chapter 36 - These aren’t my Badgers

Nate wandered around the Square, looking over the various stalls. He had gotten up early today and wasn’t expecting Kiri to meet him at the Guild for another hour. So he’d decided, rather than ...

Chapter 35 - Nightly Visitations

Nate stared out of his open window, eyes wandering over Helmfirth as his unfastened robe flapped gently in the cool late night breeze. The night had taken an interesting, albeit unexpected turn. He...

Chapter 34 - Blushing Admirers

It had taken them almost half the day to get to the area that the shadow tassel’s should be. Finding the plants wasn’t too hard once they were in the right area. Between Kiri’s perception and...

Chapter 33 - Missed Connections

Nate woke with the sun and after enjoying a quick breakfast made his way across the square. Even at this early hour the square was bustling, with workmen, merchants and shop assistants setting up t...

Chapter 32 - Making Art

Nate couldn’t suppress the smile that lit up his face as they set up an easel near the window. With the blinds drawn back and the sun beaming in it gave the perfect light for his art. The two wor...

Chapter 31 - Skill Synergy

Waking up with the sun wasn’t something Nate had ever done back on Earth but it was fast becoming the norm on this new world. He supposed his heightened Constitution and Endurance might be factor...

Chapter 30 - Not So Subtle

Dinner at the Beaufoy’s, as Nate had learned was Kiri’s surname, had been an amazing experience. Her mother, Rania, had been incredibly welcoming and treated him like a part of the family. It r...

Chapter 29 - Acid Burn

The larger goblin, who he was just assuming was the ‘chief’ at this point, charged Nate, tearing up the earth with his clawed feet. Nate responded quickly, recreating his second barrier and put...

Chapter 28 - Goblin on Goblin Crime

Apparently being an Adventurer was mostly about walking. They’d been at it for an hour and he was already bored of it. They had swung by Oran’s farm without a problem. The old man, wisps of whi...

Chapter 27 - The Unseen

The Guildmaster’s Office was something between a trophy room and what Nate would’ve expected from some CEOs office back on Earth. It was richly decorated with a huge dark wooden desk and a comf...

Chapter 26 - The Guildmaster

Nate woke with the sun's gentle light peeking through a gap in the curtains. He would say it was the best sleep he’d had since arriving on this world, but he would’ve been lying. It was the bes...

Chapter 25 - The Oaken Ring

Nate smirked as he walked towards the door to the Oaken Ring. He was definitely going to spend a bunch of his coins on silks and baths. Was silk underwear a thing? Surely it had to be. The Oaken Ri...

Chapter 24 - Joining the Guild

Nate, Kiri and Jorge walked through the gates unmolested by the few guards that stood around the entrance. Nate caught the glances they shot at Jorge and a couple of them nodded to him which got a ...

Chapter 23 - Meet my Dad

Nate started walking through the field toward what he thought looked like a road leading to the town. He had only taken a few steps when he realised Kiri wasn’t with him. Glancing back at her he ...

Chapter 22 - Inn Selection

Nate glanced at Kiri as she finished stripping the second tail of the Razorlash, winding it up like a length of rope before tossing it onto the grass with the other one.

He turned around to l...

Chapter 21 - Revenge best Served by Others

Nate strolled casually along beside the river. His barrier was preventing the wind from blowing through his blonde hair, which was bothering him. He wanted to experience the forest and part of that...

Chapter 20 - Hard Choices

Nate woke slowly with a pained groan. Everything hurt and his vision was so blurred he could barely see. Trying to sit up he immediately rolled to the side and vomited the lobster onto the stone ne...

Chapter 19 - A Fitting Punishment

The construct had spoken. Not haltingly like the Construct Elders, in broken sentences, struggling to get out what little they could. No, this construct, or thing Nate supposed, spoke in perfect, e...

Chapter 18 - A Full Set

Nate laughed, still pumped up on adrenaline it took him a few minutes of controlled breathing to get himself back under control. Frick hovered around him waiting impatiently.

“Come on boss ...
