#50: Revelation
Master Qimir's first response to my declaration was a long, lingering sigh. "You're asking very difficult questions. The kind that will get very dangerous if they spread." "Don't worry. I didn't get to this age of blabbing about things that were best left buried," I answered. "Living as a mercenary taught me a lot more than just fighting." "I can see that," Master Qimir answered. He paused a bit, looking around. "The question you ask has a complicated answer, one that has to do with the gods." "I can keep my heresy suppressed for a while, don't worry about it," I said. "Now, spill." "At the beginning, there were only gods, living in harmony, at the center of the universe, in alignment, bringing order to the existence of the chaos," he said. "However, that task was difficult, so they created mortals to do their task, and granted us the System to give us tools to defend. In the beginning, it worked perfectly." "Until it didn't, right?"
#49: Evacuation Truth
Killing more beasts away from the camp had a certain amount of temptation, but a literal earthquake and volcanic burst in response to my leveling showed that it was not a sustainable path. The natives clearly had their own reasons to keep that restricted. Instead, I returned to the camp, using similar tricks to the last time. It was harder to do so without the young noble distracting the camp on the other side, but the stat increase was more than enough to compensate for the increased challenge. A few minutes later, I was safely at the camp. It was tempting to go directly to Master Qimir and have a talk, but a lifetime of habit prevented me from doing so. Ignoring routine information gathering in favor of important objectives was always tempting… But that was how people ended up dead. Instead, I stole a cloak and walked around the camp, Perception making it much easier to listen to the random discussion. I first focused on Jertann's
#48: River Revelation
The rest of the day had passed without anything of note ... though it was fascinating just how easily I started referred another half a day filled with killing dangerous monsters hungry for human blood, all the while experimenting with a magical effect that created some kind of magical command effect. Extraordinary became ordinary in quick order. Ultimately, that was life. The assistance of Jertann started to provide after his promotion played a significant role in the ease I was experiencing. I had no idea what was the ability Jertann received, but it was clearly significant, as he could actually take down large beasts while coordinating with the others even without my assistance. Much to the surprise of the rest of the camp. I had stayed close for the first few attempts, ready to intervene if things went chaotic, but his performance had been satisfactory. He had the ability to take down the beasts in just a few blows, showing that his myster
#47: Promotional Ritual
"Can't we rest for just five minutes," Jertann gasped as he run behind me as we rushed forward to cut the path of another beast before they could meet with the second line. For the last four hours, we were continuing our extremely exhausting pace of fighting on the front line of the camp, an elatriss away from the other line, rushing back and forth to kill any large beast that was on the path of meeting with the line of the unaffiliated. I even used Charisma sparingly to occasionally draw the more crowded waves of the smaller beasts, which allowed the smaller beasts to gather around me, only to be cut down by my halberd. I had lost my earlier hesitance to show off for one important reason, the reaction of the knights against that elephant-sized tiger. With their incredible performance, I developed a better understanding of what might have been truly threatening to the ruling powers, and what I had was certainly not that. That didn't mean I lov
#46: Ward Plan
I decided to make my first showing for the Greens, though that was less about my existing impression of the Blacks, but the appearance of a large beast rushing forward, toward the border between Greens and the unaffiliated. I wasn't the only one who noticed the beast. Both groups already noticed, trying to react to it. The unaffiliated tried to pull back, but the Greens were against that, forcing the group to take the point against the beast. Considering the ragtag nature of the unaffiliated group — put together at the last moment, armed badly, struggling morale, and with no plan for how to deal with the approaching beast — it was not far from attempted manslaughter. Or murder, I decided as I noticed one of the Greens taking the weapon of a young man, yet forcing him to stay on the line when he tried to pull back. I expected the camp to collapse without leadership — which was the whole reason I stayed, as chaos would allow me to experiment eas
#45: Camp Division
As I walked back with two beasts in tow, I expected two things. First, I expected to meet with the caravan midway as the first carts started to move, hurrying up to catch up with the others. Second, I expected to create a spectacle as I dragged two large beasts back with me. Curiously, neither happened. As I moved back, I could see that, rather than piling the tents on the ground, they were establishing those tents again, just in a tighter manner, closer to the huge bonfire. Very interesting, as other camps were already on the move, which meant that ours would stay back. No one paid attention to me, because everyone was locked into a huge row that was going in the middle of the camp… Between several people, from all three gangs on one side … and Jertann on the other. Curious, I thought as I dragged forward, with most people didn't even paying attention to me, either busy watching the argument or setting the tents. Setting the camp in a tighter
