The next day, at the dining table…

Aaron sat quietly, eating breakfast alongside Duke Alaric and Alice.

Though the table was grand and spacious, it felt oddly empty with just the three of them seated.

Suddenly, Alaric spoke, "Aaron, three days from now will be the day of Alice’s marriage ceremony. I’d like you to attend."

Aaron smiled and replied without hesitation, "Of course, Lord Duke."

Alice blushed, keeping her eyes fixed on the food in front of her.

Alaric noticed and smiled faintly.

After finishing his meal, he added, "Aaron, today you can accompany Alice to test the parachute."

Aaron, who had planned to visit Edrin and Torvald, could only set those plans aside.

"Okay, Lord Alaric."

Satisfied, Alaric rose and left the room.

Alice turned to Aaron and asked, "Aaron, which place would be best for testing it?"

Aaron replied, "A steep mountain top."

Alice thought for a moment, "Will Stiff Shore work?"

Aaron looked puzzled, "Stiff Shore? I’ve never heard of it."

Alice patted her fo

  • Greater Fire Rain

    The soldiers stood tense upon the city walls, watching the horizon. Karuma’s voice was solemn as he turned to his comrade. “Katora, you defend here. The frontlines are in danger. I’ll take a few men and try to save them.”Katora’s tone sharpened with irritation. “Are you out of your mind? Can’t you see this is a trap? The Dark Faction prepared this.”He paused, then added more calmly, “We lack the numbers.”Karuma drew in a deep breath, forcing himself to steady.“Fine. But after this attack ends, the Dark Faction may reach Moontoon City by tomorrow.”Katora’s face tightened with worry. “Indeed. And I fear they won’t stop there. Kontoon and Lontoon City may be next.”Karuma nodded grimly, the pressure weighing heavily on him. “What of the Alchemist Association? Has Lord Stella still refused to act?”Katora’s expression soured. “I contacted her. She said unless Lord Domoka takes action, she won’t fight. The Alchemist Association will only provide support.”Karuma’s anger flared. “Lord

  • Moontoon Beach

    Just then, Freya appeared before them, her smile radiant. “Did you both enjoy my gift?”Stella and Hilda immediately bowed their heads in respect. “Lord Freya.”Freya waved her hand lightly, her tone carefree. “No need for titles. Call me simply by my name. In the future, the three of us will be sisters.”Her words left them both confused. Stella’s eyes widened in astonishment.“In future… Aaron” Before she could finish, Freya interrupted, her voice firm yet gentle. “Don’t speak of it. Keep it in your hearts. And do not mention it to Aaron.”With that, she turned, her presence fading. “Well, I must go.”In an instant, she vanished, leaving Stella and Hilda stunned, her cryptic words echoing in their minds.Moontoon CityMoontoon City had already been evacuated, its empty streets now serving as the staging ground for war. The city itself had been designated as the first line of defence. Armed soldiers and battle-ready mages marched beyond the walls, forming ranks along the shorel

  • Trouble

    Hilda’s words left both Stella and Aaron stunned. Aaron’s mind froze for a moment, and then he remembered, Lord Freya had warned him there would be a “surprise” after she altered some memories.Stella’s voice cut through the silence, sharp and cold.“Master… did you secretly confess to Hilda? What about my feelings?”Aaron’s confusion deepened. He realized Freya had not only altered Hilda’s memories but Stella’s as well. Anger surged within him. He gritted his teeth, channeled mana into his voice, and called out: “Freya.”In an instant, Freya appeared, her presence radiant. “Aaron, have you already finished preparing the foods? That was fast.”Aaron’s tone was low, controlled. “Lord Freya… you altered their memories.”Freya gave him a playful glance. “What? Don’t you like my gift?”Aaron’s anger flared, but he forced himself to breathe deeply. “Please restore their memories back to normal.”Stella and Hilda exchanged confused looks, listening but not understanding.Freya’s expression

  • Thoughts

    Lucia gazed around the room, her voice filled with wonder. “Is this… what a magic city looks like?”Maria’s eyes mirrored the same amazement. She spoke softly, almost to herself. “When Aaron saved me, I thought my father would reward him properly, perhaps even grant him a manor. But all he gave were gold coins. I believed that if we met again, I would be someone he could look up to.”Her voice faltered as she murmured, “Yet Aaron met me again within a month, already far stronger than before. And now, seeing this city he has built… I feel ashamed of my earlier thoughts.”Lucia sighed gently. “Maria, don’t dwell on it. We are here now, and we will learn magic.”She turned to Gorg. “Master Gorg, you once visited the Nomino Kingdom. How do these buildings compare to theirs?”Gorg shook his head, a bitter smile on his lips. “Princess Lucia, there is no comparison.”He pointed toward a glowing stone embedded in the wall. “This is a Glowing Stone, it shines in the dark. In Nomino Kingdom

  • God Freya

    Loa spoke first, her tone serious. “Aaron, give me the crates of guavas before I summon Lord Freya. After the summoning, my magic will be depleted for a month, and I won’t be able to appear for thirty days.”Aaron was taken aback, but without hesitation he produced ten crates filled with guavas, oranges, and lychees. “Here, Loa. Take them."Loa’s face lit up, drooling with delight. “Aaron, you are the best!”She quickly stored the crates in her space ring, then declared, “I will begin the summoning now.”Her body glowed with radiant white light. A sweet voice echoed through the chamber: “Lord Freya, hear my call. My partner Aaron Warwick seeks to sign a death contract. He requires your presence.”Loa’s body dissolved into light, and a portal opened. From it stepped an otherworldly beauty, her aura pure and overwhelming. Aaron’s breath caught, her presence was beyond words, beyond mortal description.Freya’s gaze fell upon him. “So you are Aaron. I have waited months to meet you.”Aaro

  • Edrin's Story

    Torvald gazed at the magnificent city around him, awe written across his face. Beside him, Edrin shared the same expression. Familiar with one another, Torvald broke the silence. “Edrin, what are your plans for the future?”Edrin’s tone was thoughtful. “Well, as Aaron said, we have the choice, to cultivate or to continue our old work.”Torvald nodded, conflicted. “Indeed. He gave us freedom, but I still don’t know what path to take.”Edrin studied him. “Are you afraid of trying something new, worried you won’t be valued anymore?”Torvald sighed. “Before, I was just a carpenter, shaping wood. I loved creating, inventing. But now, seeing these magnificent buildings, I feel… lost.”Edrin placed a reassuring hand on his shoulder as the wind tugged at their clothes. “Torvald, you may not believe this, but my father was a farmer. As his son, farming was my only path. By luck, I met traders and learned about commerce. I realized our region had things others didn’t, like the thron fruit. So I
