Bethany was still really confused. She didn't expect what had happened. Infact, she was in shock. Everything being exposed was way too much for her to comprehend.“So you said it's an old gang, and you managed to disband some of its members, so how did–” Norman paused, his right hand on his chin as he paced around the cell.“Well I'm not sure I did that how. If their logo still exist, and you caught someone from the gang. It was obvious the gang was bigger than I thought.” Bethany’s heart drummed, and she stared at him, more confused. Did he just say bigger? She was already so close to getting a clue, and she found out it was only a drop in the ocean.Furrowed lines wrapped around her face, and she pressed her lips together, her head and eyes lowered as she sank deep with her thoughts.“You really think you didn't stop them enough some years ago? I'm pretty sure there's nothing against them. Besides, there are a lot of things going on right now.” No words were said, and she immedia

It seemed like it was stuck there, and he didn't know how to go about it “Hmm, Jackson, I really don't like what's going on…” The bishop was the one speaking now, but he was so sacred. He was looking for a way to be able to get things done as quickly as possible. He was scared, and tired, and was also very worried.“I’m sorry bishop, I didn't mean to–” “Silence! You never mean anything. Are you trying to tell me you're incompetent?” He asked with raised brows, and there were no words.“Answer me!” This time Jackson received a jolt. “N-o…” he stammered.

Norman, who had spent the rest of his days in the room, was confused about what they had said. However, he still needed Murai’s help. There was a confused look in his eyes. He didn't even know how else to begin.She definitely had a different thought, and he had to make sure to fix the thought because he didn't have enough time left. He moved around the mansion, trying to find her, and when it proved impossible, he decided to ask a maid. “Umm… good–” before he could greet, the maid bowed her head. “Good evening Princess Murai’s betrothed.” Hearing that caused him to keep quiet. His chest drummed, but he ignored, and he tried to go straight to the point. “Where's she? I tried checking her room, but she's not there,” he expressed, hoping the maid could identify where Murai was.“Oh princess Murai.” She paused. “She said she wanted to be alone, but she's in her private garden at the other end of the mansion.” He nodded, his expression serious. “Alright. Thank you…” he expressed, an

Some say it is even true that he was the one who defeated the phoenix and brought back the feathers.” The elder, who had previously been, now regarded Norman with a newfound sense of admiration. Whispers and speculations spread like wildfire as Norman approached the queen, the feather held out in offering.The queen's eyes narrowed slightly as she took the feather, her voice tinged with curiosity. "Hmm, is this really a phoenix feather? Are you sure you defeated the phoenix?" she asked, her tone probing for details. “Or is this fake?” The kingdom's inhabitants gathered around, eager to hear Norman's tale and verify the authenticity of his claim. However, Norman remained unfazed by the commotion. He had other priorities in mind, and his focus was fixed on achieving a specific goal.With a calm demeanour, Norman stood before the queen, his eyes

Queen Kurai's eyes sparkled with intrigue as she regarded Norman, her gaze lingering on him with a mixture of curiosity and admiration. "I think I have underestimated you," she said, a smile playing on her lips. "You seem like someone worthy of a lot of things. So far, you've passed most of the tests I've given you."Her expression turned serious, her voice taking on a subtle edge. "But let's not forget this, Norman," she said, her words dripping with an unspoken warning.

Norman's throat constricted as he swallowed, his mind racing with anticipation and fear. Not fear, but worry.The queen's words echoed in his thoughts…“This challenge is meant to break you.” “But what did it entail?” he asked himself because she hadn't said anything else. She had given him no hint, no clue, just a warning that left him wondering. The more he thought about it, the more his imagination ran wild with worst-case scenarios.As he stood there, Norman couldn't shake off the feeling of unease that settled in the pit of his stomach.

The city of Yivel was a mosaic of stone spires and huge bazaars, but its north quarter was an open sore, infested by a plague of death that poisoned the air and stilled the streets. The plague quarter was quarantined, its narrow streets shut behind wooden palisades, their faces smeared with notices in blood-red paint. The plague was merciless, its victims wiry and sweating, their bodies smeared with festering black boils, their coughs death knells. There were empty houses, boarded-up windows, chalk-crossed doors. There was a reek of rot, and a small, acrid bite of medicinal herbs that could not stem the tide. Yivel's best physicians, wrapped in white robes and leather hoods, glided like spirits, their remedies futile, their furrowed, tortured faces. Norman, a foreigner to this world, was tasked with finding the antidote where the smartest had fallen short, his quest a thread held to the vault and Murai, the Kurai most precious, his master's sister, who bore it next to her heart.Norma

Northern villages were a hard country, their wind-battered, curved hills battered by war and worn by wind. There was air, the scent of pine and wet earth, bruise-coloured sky, restless clouds low-hung. Muddy roads wandered between clusters of thatched cottages, worn roofs and soot-black walls from last's raids. The Black Path Bandits inspired terror—plundered barns, stolen cattle, shallow trenches. The villages lived in terror, for a fog, terror descended on the villages, the skeletal visage of the villagers, their eyes reaching out to the horizon, awaiting the next raid. The bandits were a plague, merciless and ruthless, their name spoken in terror. Norman, this time a ghost of tempest, had been sent to stem them.He strides across the wasteland, his tattered cloak lost in twilight, his boots silent on the mossy ground. His huge body is lean from journeying, his black hair streaked with gray, his blue eyes burning with purpose. Scars cover his hands, a topography of combat, and a sho

Norman woke up with a throbbing headache, groaning as he sat up. As his vision cleared, he noticed Queen Kurai sitting in front of him, her expression calm and collected. Norman rubbed his temples, trying to relieve the pain he was feeling. However, her next words seem to make him open his eyes. "Good job, Norman," Queen Kurai said, her voice gentle. "You passed the first mission. The blue eliza venom is exactly what I needed."Norman looked up at her, still trying to shake off the effects of the venom. "What...what happened?" he asked, his voice hoarse. He seemed to still be very weak, and his memory was faint. Queen Kurai smiled. "You were bitten, but don't worry, I've taken care of the wound. You'll recover fully.” her assurance made him sigh, and he turned to see that his hands were bandaged. As well. Norman's eyes widened in shock as he stared at Queen Kurai. "How did I survive?" he asked, his voice laced with confusion.The Queen's expression remained calm. He was asking too
Chapter 95
Queen Kurai's eyes sparkled with a hint of mischief as she regarded Norman. "I'll help you, but you must complete seven deadly missions," she said, her voice firm.Norman's jaw dropped in shock. "Seven deadly missions?" he repeated, incredulous. "Why would you give me such a condition?"The Queen's smile grew wider. "Because I want to. It's just what I want."Norman hesitated, weighing his options. After a moment, he nodded. "Alright, I agree. What is the first mission?"Queen Kurai's smile turned into that of mischief. "Are you sure you really want to do this?" she asked, her voice laced with amusement.Norman swallowed, and tried to control himself. "I am willing to do it," he said, his voice firm.The Queen's eyes gleamed with anticipation. "Very well, then. Let us begin…”It seemed she had other plans for him. Things he didn't even know. He had no idea what he was going into, but he wanted to make sure everything made sense to him at this time. Queen Kurai's smile turned serious
Chapter 94
Queen Kurai's brow furrowed with concern as she watched Norman's bold request sink in. She turned to her daughter, Murai, who had entered the room quietly. “Do you think you can go with this man?” She was asked but when she was unable to respond, she was immediately made to keep shut. There were so many things involved in his moments. “I don't want to, mother. I have people to serve here. I won't go with him. He doesn't seem genuine…” she explained, and her mother sighed. "Murai, we need to discuss this matter privately," the Queen said, her voice low and measured.Murai's eyes met Norman's for a brief moment before she nodded and followed her mother out of the throne room. The doors closed behind them, leaving Norman alone with the guards.The Queen and Murai walked to a nearby chamber, the tension between them palpable. Once inside, Queen Kurai turned to Murai and explained the situation. “The man seems to be here for a reason which I do not know of at the moment, but I need you
