In the morning, Mina woke up feeling a bit disconcerted due to the cool room.She definitely knew her brother did not buy an air conditioner. Why is the room so cool ? She looked at the table fan. Nope.. there’s nothing different. It’s still the same old creaking table fan ! Her gaze traveled down. What in the world was that ? There’s a transparent watery jelly underneath what’s clearly a big block of ice. Where did her brother get this big block of ice ? It couldn’t have cost little. The surprises did not end there. There’s a pungent smell from the kitchen. Even if it’s an open air kitchen, it’s still a kitchen. Her brother had built an open air kitchen attached to the door. The plot itself is not small, but given he is building an almost paleolithic style cottage, they had to follow the designs of that time. The toilet is located far away, it’s not the flush type but the pit in the ground type that the military used when on march. It is a notch down from the flush toil

Rowan checked his inventory box carefully. As expected, the oily seaweed is gone. He did not expect the seaweed to have such an effect. Next time, he will test the effects carefully. Yes, there’s a next time. As sad as he was to lose the number of slimes, Rowan felt the evolved slime’s properties were better. When raising cattle, there must be regular culling. He had been feeling conflicted, as he did not want to kill the slimes which have been helpful to him till now. Who knows ! The little blobs of nothing are so greedy, they eat something before he could even tell them it’s feed. Or , maybe they knew instinctively that seaweed could help them evolve. After all, animals instinctively know the good things for their bodies. From now on, Rowan would take care when storing the items bought from the mystery space shop ! For now, that’s a bit too many barrels of oil. If he keeps it in the storage, it keeps consuming spirit energy. Rowan checked the remaining spirit energy just t

The richer snorc tribes with their own elks and aurochs immediately disassembled their tents. They rushed towards the beast tide, fearing the gates might close by the time they reached the beast tower. Education existed among Snorks just like it did among winterland. Similar to winterland denizens, the higher a tribe’s strength, the better educated it’s leaders. They knew Beast tower is the place where the Barrier is thinnest and it’s gate largest. Only, the path under the beast tower has long since been filled with ice. The Barrier’s history is the most well learned story other than their own tribe’s hierarchy. The meaning of the beast tower gates being open is not lost among these people. Namely, two tribes were knowledgeable among the Snorcs. The first is Thors, who’s tribe had leather and bronze armor, bronze weapons and well trained dog sleds. They packed the fastest. More importantly, thor’s are neighbours of giant clans, who needed no packing at all. Thus, they all followe

Frontier guard captain Edgar was a great fighter, but he wasn’t a great commander. That title fell to Dan. The moment battering began, and Sasha created the enclosure, he ordered the archers to go up the snowy wall surrounding the gate. It will be like shooting down at pigs in a hunting hole. However, he has no hope he could maintain it for long. Reports have come from the top of the barrier. Sharp eyed guards of the frontier reported the warband that attacked them had all the vicious and elite. Till now, they have spotted bone armor, which they knew beyond doubt is bone creeper. There was an owl circling over Castle one, so they know Ghost is here, as well as reaper, for his telltale blue fabric with glow stones is spotted. Then there’s the ever so clear bronze armor of the thors and the seal leather suit of the slimes. The door is being battered. The dragon has returned to hunt in waters of the mountain kingdom, and beyond towards the south. Even if it were to fly back, it

Few of the guards loyal to Dan followed Dan in jumping onto a mound of corpses and followed him into castle one. They have always known Dan is a fine swordsman. He fought many battles with them, they know of his strength, speed and stamina. Compared to any of them, he is a better warrior by leaps and bounds. Even so, they never thought that his standard was impossible for them to reach. Yet, now, the way he cut through the snorc elites as if he was reaping harvest, made their hearts tremble and their knees to buckle. The scariest being in the world is a good guy who has gone bad, their blacksmith used to say, as he described his battle of Rykor Drakon and Beor Hawthorn. This must be what a truly frightening swordsman is like, they thought as they saw the after images of Dan's sword. They can’t see the sword at all before the enemies are ripped into pieces. It is said sorcerer’s steel has the ability to carry and create sword aura, as long as some of it is present.It’s like a
