Leo's eyes stayed fixed on the woman.

He had expected something to emerge from the simulation — a treasure chest, maybe an antique sword. What stood before him was far more complicated than either. A real person. And she didn't look anything like a brainwashed slave the system might have produced.

She was lightly tan-skinned, with long dark hair that gravity had just pulled down around her shoulders. Her large eyes swept rapidly across every corner of the room. Her clothes didn't belong to this

    Leo pulled the dagger from his bag and held it out. Maren took it, turned it over in his hands, and examined the runes carefully before handing it back."Good choice.""I'm going to make a better one myself. Will you put the magical power into it later?""No problem. Have you thought about my question?""Still thinking.""Alright then."The princess looked at Maren, then at Leo, then back at Maren again."Your master is more famous than I realized," she whispered to Leo."I'm only just realizing it myself."The princess looked at Maren. Maren looked at the princess and lowered his head toward her, briefly but with genuine respect.The princess returned the gesture.The conversations around them were still going, louder than before now, carrying from multiple directions at once."Has anyone ever arrived at this festival with full teleportation before?""Never seen it.""Me neither.""Who's that beside him? He looks very young.""I'm not sure. But he doesn't carry himself like a Rune Lo

  • Chapter 134: Maren in festival

    Leo had grown tired of browsing the stalls.Most of the enchanted items he had seen were far below his own level.That wasn't to say the festival had offered nothing of value. Walking through it, Leo had come to understand that his level of sorcery was actually not something to be taken lightly across all four kingdoms.He had also noticed the kind of power the great general had at his disposal.During the previous simulation, when Leo had attacked the great general's city, the system summary had described a scene like this: 125 rune sorcerers, most likely all at level four or above, tearing enormous chunks out of the imperial army through spells performed in concert. Had Leo not identified the weak point of those combined sorcerers during that simulation, recognizing that each of them was a vital piece of a single massive spell, the Dark Army could probably have wiped out the entire imperial force without taking a single loss.At the time Leo had killed one of the sorcerers with a si

    The princess moved close to Leo and looked at the bundle."The boy looked very young, did what he wrote actually interest you?""Some of it.""Do you think he could become as good a sorcerer as you one day?""I doubt it. But he'll definitely make a good teacher.""Then why don't you invite him to work for you?""First, I don't currently have any plan like a magic school where I'd bring together and train children with talent in sorcery. Second, sorcerers generally don't like working under someone else, because they believe that sorcerers who don't maintain an independent way of thinking can't reach higher levels."The princess thought about this."What do you think about that?""Working under someone else generally isn't a problem, as long as the person you're working for doesn't run you ragged every hour of the day and turn you into an exhausted number.""So is Uncle Maren bad then?""No no, I'm not talking about magic training, I'm talking about being used for simple work. Magic tra

  • Chapter 132: sorcerer festival

    After stepping into the garden and breathing in the fresh air, Leo stretched properly and murmured to himself. "If I keep staying here I'm going to end up falling in love with a damned simulation character and then feel obligated to marry the first person I meet when I get back to the real world."Without further hesitation, Leo wiped the scene he'd just lived from his mind and initiated a time skip. He set the duration to just after arriving in the capital.When Leo opened his eyes again he was in a square.The princess was standing beside him, looking around with eyes full of curiosity. At the same time she had her arm firmly locked through his and was pulling him along behind her.The square was no longer recognizable. Under normal circumstances this was one of the busiest market streets in the kingdom, farmers selling fresh vegetables, fabric merchants, food vendors. But today none of that was here. The stalls were there but the goods on them were completely different. The people

    "Leave that one." The princess picked up the green dress and tossed it onto the bed."It won't work for palace ceremonies, despite being beautiful." She took the navy one and placed it in the bag. Then she stopped and tilted her head to one side as if thinking. "I need one more. There should be something to wear outside the ceremonies as well." She walked to the wardrobe and opened it, examining the contents. She looked for a while. "This one." She pulled out a dark grey kaftan and added it to the bag.Throughout the entire process Leo watched the back of the princess's gathered hair and her determined, methodical work.After finishing her own bag the princess moved to Leo's, which was already packed."You've put in two shirts.""That's enough."The princess ignored what Leo said, said nothing, and added four more without comment. She reached up to the box on the shelf, opened it, and pulled out a thin belt."Take this too.""I have belts.""Your formal outfit doesn't have one. I thre

  • Chapter 130: 21 years old

    [You are 21 years old. The greater part of the year was spent with Maren. The Area Lock spell turned out to be more complex than you had anticipated. The theory was understandable, but the application was something else entirely. To seal a defined area completely, you had to control every point of that area simultaneously, without leaving a single gap, without a single weak rune. In the first attempts, some air seeped through, then light, then sound. If the things seeping through had been your deliberate choices, that would have been one thing, but since they were happening outside your control, you were technically failing the spell each time. Maren simply watched every time and said nothing. You wanted to punch him in the face and call him a smug teenager for the way he kept standing there acting cool, but you still weren't strong enough to beat him. You repeated it, repeated it, repeated it.][Alongside this work that stretched across months, the forest along the eastern border con
