As Tyler walked beside Grone, a Level 23 Slither erupted from the bushes. Longer and thicker than any they'd encountered before, its elongated teeth practically obscured its head. With terrifying speed, it slithered towards them.

Tyler reacted instantly, two copper daggers materializing in his hands. With practiced ease, he hurled them. The first dagger found its mark in the Slither's tail. The creature reared its head, emitting a high-pitched shriek of pain. Before it could fully react, the second dagger struck its head, and the creature collapsed, lifeless.

"Good job," Grone said, calmly walking past the fallen beast. The daggers vanished back into Tyler's inventory. He followed Grone, who now crouched down, carefully examining the forest floor. Grone pointed to a series of hoof prints imprinted in the earth. "Just as I thought," he said, standing up. "We're in their territory."

"Why do you say that?" Tyler asked.

"You can always tell by the hoof prints," Grone explained, gesturing

  • Chapter 49: The End Before The Beginning

    James's hands trembled as he gripped the sword with both hands. Ariel unsheathed her own sword; the polished steel gleamed. James instinctively took a step back, his feet crunching on the broken stones. John watched, his expression grim. The thought crossed his mind: *Young master definitely isn't ready for this.*"Young master," John called out, his voice low and urgent, "this is definitely unwise. You shouldn't face her." James shook his head, a stubborn refusal evident in the slight jerk of his head. He muttered a defiant "No," and charged forward.Ariel met his attack with a chilling smile. "Pathetic," she said, the word a low, almost contemptuous whisper. With a swift, practiced movement, she kicked a loose rock from the nearby pile of rubble. The rock, propelled with surprising force, flew through the air, a small, deadly missile. It struck James's right leg with a sickening thud, tearing through his flesh and leaving a ragged wound. A sharp cry of pain escaped James's lips as h

  • Chapter 48: The Embarrassment

    James awoke to sunlight spilling into his room through slightly open curtains. He yawned, threw back the blankets, and swung his legs over the side of the bed. Stretching languidly, he thought, *Oh right, today's Ariel's sixteenth birthday. That little brat's probably going to get something amazing again.*Leaving his room, he opened the door to find a maid standing in the hallway. "Good morning, sir," she said. "We have already prepared a bath for you.""Good morning," James replied.James proceeded to the bathroom, a spacious room crafted from polished dark wood, the air still warm from a previous bath. A young butler, barely older than himself, stood waiting, a neatly folded pile of clothes resting on one of the benches beside the large, empty wooden tub. The butler bowed slightly as James entered.After his bath, James toweled himself dry and dressed in the clothes the butler had provided – a simple but finely woven shirt and trousers. He then made his way to the main dining hall.

    Tyler was surprised. "What? You are one of them?"Grone nodded. "Yes, I am. I know what you're thinking. I don't look anything like a hero's descendant, am I right?"Tyler looked up at Grone, considering. "No. I mean, I've never met one before, so I wouldn't know."Grone chuckled, a low, bitter sound. "I bet you would know if you met one. They're entitled bastards, every one of them," he said, a hint of anger coloring his voice.Tyler looked at him with a confused expression. Grone said, his voice softening slightly, "I know this sounds confusing, with everything I've told you. I told you the hero's descendants were strong, that they all had high levels, that they leveled up faster than normal people. But you'd ask yourself, 'Why am I so weak, yet I claim to be a hero's descendant?'"He paused, studying Tyler's face. "If you really want to know, you'll have to listen to a very long story, and it's going to get dark pretty soon. Are you willing to hear it?"Tyler nodded, his curiosity

  • Chapter 46: Bonds of Trust

    Grone pointed his sword at Tyler. The wind whispered through the vast green plain, rustling their hair."Hold on, I'm unarmed," Tyler said."What? You didn't bring any weapons?" Grone asked, lowering his sword slightly."Craft iron axe," Tyler muttered. The system interface displayed: Crafting… The loading bar filled rapidly, and then: Crafting complete."Equip," Tyler commanded. The axe materialized in his hand, silver-grey and slightly longer than the bashing hammer. Its head was as wide as his own, curved, durable, and razor-sharp."An axe? Did you craft that just now?" Grone asked, surprised."Yeah, it's the only weapon I have right now," Tyler said, adopting a fighting stance, holding the axe with both hands. Beside the axe's image on his system interface, the ATK stat appeared: ATK: 84Suddenly Grone striked.Grone’s initial attack was a breathtaking display of swordsmanship. A blindingly fast overhead strike, aimed at cleaving Tyler’s skull, whistled through the air, a silver s

    Lisa looked at Tyler's confused face and said, "Three. She's three years old. Why did you ask?""You become an F-rank when you reach level 10, right?" Tyler asked."Yes," Lisa answered."Well... it's just, Heather has reached level nine." Lisa's eyes widened in surprise. "Level nine? Why do you say that? She can't be level nine" she asked, a concerned expression on her face."Oh, you might not know this, but I have the Uncover skill, and I can read people's levels. Your level is... 141!?" Tyler exclaimed, his voice laced with surprise. "What's going on? How are you this high level?"Lisa sat down, holding Heather. Heather, in Lisa's arms, began chewing on the fabric of Lisa's shirt. Heather's low, unintelligible babbling was the only sound.Lisa sighed, covering her mouth. "I didn't think anyone would see through the spell. I just… I can't tell you about it yet."Tyler knelt in front of them. "You can tell me anything. I'm willing to help, no matter what the problem is."Lisa hesitate

  • Chapter 44: Unexpected

    Tyler stared at his inventory: 27 silver ores, 18 copper ores, 26 iron ores, 32 zinc, and 12 steel. He looked at the now-empty pit and thought, "What should I craft first?" He muttered, "System, show me the recipes." A system panel appeared, displaying:Armor Recipe: 1 Hexhorn Hide, 2 Hexhorn Horns → Leather BootsWeapon Recipe: 20 Hexhorn Horns, 12 Iron Ores → Offense ShieldAccessory Recipe: 1 Adas Tree Leaf, 2 Small Iron Ores → Luck NecklaceAlchemy Recipe: 100ml Brulin Blood, 500ml Water, 1 Hexhorn Horn → Weak Defense PotionTyler muttered, "Craft Leather Boots." The system displayed: Craft Leather Boots (Yes/No). He replied, "Yes." The system displayed: Crafting successful.Emily, outside, heard Tyler muttering. She paused, looked toward the back door window, and saw Tyler. She then saw him turn, holding a pair of boots. They were brown, polished leather, catching the sunlight. The soles were white and hard.Tyler entered, saying, "I just crafted something."Hector, using a small
