There, they can see employees who are doing their job. This trail has an end which is another place with guaranteed lighting and increased visibility over the entire area. Benches and tables have been arranged along with a tool in front of the workers, making a grinding sound.
The raw materials obtained are often mixed with adhering soil. Using a tool such as a grinding wheel will erode the surface and remove material attached to precious stones.
That sight was familiar to Archie, considering there was an increasing demand for this type of precious stone in

Ch. XVIII: Fin.
Archie awoke to a peculiar and unfamiliar dream, disorientated by the commotion outside. Looking around, he struggled to grasp his surroundings and the situation at hand.Gradually, he realised he was lying on a bed of soft grass, when suddenly a loud noise shattered the silence. It was the voices of the people who had just emerged victorious against three raging demons.He gingerly touched his temple, feeling the tender wound. While he couldn't recall much from the dream, he sensed it had been unnervingly vivid and had left him anxious.Getting up, Archie surveyed his surroundings, taking in the warriors' smiling faces and cheerful chatter. They wore expressions of fulfilment after their triumph over the demons. Archie was relieved to still be alive but overwhelmed by the reality of the situation.
Ch. XVIII: Singularity
As the group entered the city, they saw that chaos had already begun to unfold. Buildings were on fire, people were screaming and running for their lives, and there were strange creatures roaming the streets. Akhem and Harlequin seemed pleased with the destruction they had caused, but Archie felt a pit in his stomach."What have you done?" he asked, looking at them with horror."We have done what needed to be done," replied Harlequin. "We are bringing change to this world, and sometimes that requires sacrifice."Archie shook his head, unable to comprehend the cruelty of their actions. "This isn't change, it's destruction. Innocent people are dying because of your actions."Akhem chuckled. "Innocent? There is no such thing as innocence in this world. Everyone is guilty of
Ch. XVIII: Eccentricity
As the group made their way through the desert, Archie couldn't shake the feeling that something was off about the situation. The sandstorm had died down, but the air was still thick with dust and it was difficult to see more than a few feet in front of them. Akhem and Harlequin led the way, with Archie following closely behind.Suddenly, Akhem stopped in his tracks, causing Harlequin to bump into him from behind. Archie almost ran into Harlequin as well, but managed to stop just in time. "What's going on?" he asked, confused.Akhem turned to face them, his eyes scanning the horizon. "We're being followed," he said in a low voice."Followed? By who?" asked Harlequin, also looking around."I don't know yet. But we need to keep moving and be cautious," replied Akhem.
Ch. XVIII: Peculiarity
Harlequin and Akhem exchanged glances before turning back to Archie, who was still trying to process the information. "We don't expect you to make a decision right now," said Harlequin. "We understand that this is a lot to take in. But we hope that you'll consider it and join us in our cause."Archie remained silent, unsure of what to say. He had always thought of himself as an ordinary person, not someone with the power to change the world. The idea of possessing a grimoire and using it to achieve such a goal was overwhelming.After a few moments of contemplation, Archie spoke up. "I need some time to think about this. It's a big decision, and I can't just jump into it without knowing all the facts.""Of course," said Akhem. "Take all the time you need. But keep in mind that the longer we wait, the more difficult i
Ch. XVIII: The Anomaly
As they walked through the crowded streets, Archie couldn't help but notice the fear and anxiety on people's faces. He wondered if it was related to the strange occurrences happening lately.They arrived at the town square, where a large stage had been set up. A man in a white suit was standing on it, addressing the crowd."People of Krakal, I come to you with a message of hope. For too long, we have suffered under the rule of corrupt leaders who care only for their own interests. But I promise you, things are about to change."The man's words were met with mixed reactions from the crowd. Some cheered, while others remained skeptical.Akhem turned to Archie and Harlequin. "That man is dangerous. He's using the people's fear and frustration to gain power."<
Ch. XVIII: The Sudden Oddity
As Archie continued to train with Harlequin and Akhem, he began to notice their growing obsession with the idea of changing the world. At first, he didn't think much of it, but as their training progressed, he couldn't ignore the darker undertones in their conversations.One day, while they were resting after a training session, Archie brought up his concerns to Harlequin and Akhem."Guys, I have to be honest with you. I'm not sure I'm comfortable with this idea of changing the world. What if we cause more harm than good?" Archie asked.Harlequin and Akhem exchanged a quick glance before turning back to Archie."Archie, we understand your concern, but the world as it is now is flawed. We have the power to change that, to make it a better place for everyone. Don't you wan
