"What's a shamanic priestess? Are they strong?"I knew nothing about the beastman nation, and I had never heard of such complicated professions before."Of course! Beastman shamanic priests are similar to human mages. Due to the high talent requirements, their numbers have always been relatively low. Compared to ordinary warriors, their position is also much higher. They mainly practice their profession under the leadership of the oracle, King Sal and are subservient to the banner of the spirit lodge. Mainly, they're similar to witch doctors and Necromancers. They're the best companions the other beast professions can have.""Then, what brought you here to the Samiant mountains, sustaining such a heavy injury, and being saved by me?" I asked curiously.When she heard my question, the girl revealed a sad expression."Even though I possess great talent, I have the blood of two different clans running in me, which aroused the jealousy of some. They criticized me and pointed fingers behin

The inn was not very large, and I only saw a few tables when I went inside. Most of the space was empty. There were several small parties of guests sitting together, enjoying their booze and meals. I could tell at a glance that they were tough customers from the fierce glares they were giving me, and I could not help but shudder."Hey now, where did this handsome little fella come from?"A comely young woman came towards me with a smile.She must be the owner's wife.She had a provocative body and her long, fair legs could vaguely be seen as she moved. I had no idea whether the design was deliberate or not, but there were two long slits on both sides of her yellow skirt cut all the way up to the hip. Even an immature boy like me could not help but gulp at the sight."Dear customers, are you here for a meal, or a room? If you're looking for a meal, then please come over to this side. Otherwise, please come upstairs."She smiled at me as she approached. Before I could give her an answer

One of the cat's paws seemed deformed, but I could not see anything else that wasn't right with it. Though, I had no idea whether it had any internal injuries or not."Hey little guy, are you alright?"I prodded the little cat. Its lustrous fur, a mixture of yellow and white, was extremely beautiful. As I prodded it, the cat looked at me weakly, but then it shut its eyes and stopped moving."It's not dead, is it?"I reached out a finger to test the cat's breath as I spoke, then I touched its chest to test for a heartbeat. Fortunately, it was still alive. It must be feeling weak right now. It needed rest.Since no one was around, I pulled up the cat's leg out of curiosity and looked between.The cat yowled at me and kicked its legs free, blocking its sensitive parts like a form of protest."Oh, you're female? Sorry sorry, I didn't mean anything by it!"After some thought, I decided to bring the cat along with me. Since I saved it, I might as well go all the way and take care of it, too

I wandered the streets in a daze until my thoughts were interrupted by a tap on my back."Boy, come with me."It was my uncle!As if latching onto a shred of hope, I followed my uncle all the way to the city gates."The deputy mayor has already begun investigating your identity, and the consequences will be unthinkable if he finds out."My uncle handed me a bag containing food and clothes as he spoke in a hurry."Also, the deputy mayor has also sent someone to Rowe Academy to report in so that he can snatch the spot from you. You have to move quicker than him. Go now, see if you can make it to Rowe before he does."I nodded. Then, I turned back to look at the small town that I grew up in."Don't worry about anything and just go. You have to study hard and become strong. I'll look after your mother for you."Then, he handed me a pouch. It felt heavy, and when I looked inside, it was filled with gold coins."That's for the road, and here's a map, too. Rowe Academy is this place marked i

With my mother gone from my life for so long, the only things that remained of her in my mind were childhood memories. Now that I had the chance to see her, I certainly could not give up.The fateful day soon arrived. The next day, my uncle rushed into my room."Leon, come with me quickly! Your grandfather is out today. I'll take you to your mother!"I nodded and eagerly followed my uncle to one of the estate's compounds.The Storm family could be considered part of the city’s upper class, especially after the Lord Mayor was saved by Loughan. So naturally, the family owned a sizable estate. Though, since my grandfather had never been fond of me, I was forbidden from setting foot in many places of the estate, and the range where I could stretch my legs was limited.I followed my uncle through bends and turns for god knows how long before I finally saw a hut in a remote corner."Is that where my mother is?"My heart was beating fast and my breathing grew rapid, but my pace slackened."W
