Chapter 151: Echoes Beneath Cracked Stone — The Withering Soul of Orcus Town

Rather than dragging their bodies across the rough terrain all the way toward the fractured heartlands of the Queens Region, the Dragonborns opted to ride comfortably in the magically augmented vehicular caravan. Even for seasoned warriors and mana-users, the wear and tear of extended foot travel through the Ashed lands would have been a grievous waste of strength and time—perhaps even tenfold more exhausting than anyone sane would permit.

However, for Elias, whose memories still vividly echoed with a past life where global travel took mere hours—or minutes, thanks to supersonic flight—this endless ride across the continent was a torment of monotony.

Despite having personally reforged the interior of the multi-wheeled mana-driven caravan into a luxurious mobile abode—complete with an ether-showered washroom, a retractable rune-engraved bed, and a self-cooking alchemical kitchen—Elias still found the idle rhyt

    Chapter 152: The Kindness That Burned Brighter Than BreadJust as Elias prepared to challenge the enigmatic elder’s vague warning, a burst of childish laughter shattered the heavy silence hanging over Orcus Town. It was the wild, unrestrained kind—like a birthday party gone cosmic.This desolate, bone-dry place shouldn’t have echoes of joy. Yet there it was.Drawn by the gleeful cacophony, Elias followed it to the town’s central square, near the only standing wet market—an altar of survival in a crumbling tomb. A shabby wooden table sat at its heart, flanked by a wriggling crowd of children. They were thin—too thin—but their faces glowed with a vitality the adult townsfolk had long since surrendered.Daytime exhaustion had become their refuge: the grown-ups slept through the waking hours, conserving their energy, turning their bodies into living husks, waiting hunger out.But the kids? Shaking off despair like arid leaves in wind, they sprang toward the table.“Finally! I’ve been drea

  • Chapter 150: Through Mithril Roads and Storm-Crowned Skies – Elias’ Passage into the Queens’ Dominion

    Chapter 150: Through Mithril Roads and Storm-Crowned Skies – Elias’ Passage into the Queens’ DominionAfter countless days of anticipation layered beneath layers of blueprint revisions, supply acquisitions, and personnel dispatches, Elias finally stood ready. The gears of departure clicked into place. With the full momentum of the Lyta Company behind him and the ever-expanding ambitions of a new frontier tugging at his resolve, the journey toward the distant and diplomatically complex Queens region commenced—his path carved not by mere will alone, but through the gleaming arteries of the Dwarven Kingdom's newly-laid highway system.Standing sentinel at his flanks were the formidable Dragonborn siblings—his loyal, scaly-skinned shadows who refused, on pain of their own pride, to allow their master to venture beyond the borders without an entourage capable of splitting mountains if need be. Every claw, every horn, every breath they took was primed to shield Elias, wh

  • Chapter 149: Clash of Future Thrones – The Covenant of Silent Lions

    Chapter 149: Clash of Future Thrones – The Covenant of Silent LionsA tense silence flooded the chamber like a fog of smoke caught between power and pretense. Every gaze fixed unblinkingly upon Holloway's iron-hearted patriarch, Elias’s grandfather—Yze Holloway. The air shimmered faintly with the weight of unspoken suspicions, each elder mogul locked in mental warfare, trying to grasp the enigmatic twist in Yze’s latest maneuver.The idea that he—the legendary Holloway Lion, master of monopolies and shadow broker of economies—would willingly step back from a once-in-a-lifetime conquest like the Golden Road… it bordered on heresy. This wasn't just unexpected. It was unthinkable.The other conglomerate heads, all wolves in their own right, concealed their astonishment with the grace of seasoned predators, but inside? Their thoughts churned like a maelstrom. Every one of them had shared scars from battles lost to Yze. This lion didn’t retreat. He conquered. S

  • Chapter 148: The Gilded Artery of Ashen Revival

    Chapter 148: The Gilded Artery of Ashen RevivalOnce upon a time, nestled in the throbbing heart of the Falcon region, there existed a bustling nexus of ambition and endless exchange—a place so vibrant with mercantile fervor it earned the fabled title of the Golden Road. Once, this shining artery coursed with the lifeblood of commerce, threading silks from far deserts, spices harvested under crimson moons, and enchanted relics wrested from the vaults of forgotten civilizations. It was more than a market—it was the stage where dreamers gambled futures, and kings of coin were born.Among those dreamers stood Yze Holloway, patriarch of the richest family to ever lay claim to the Falcon region’s legacy. Yet he hadn’t always sat upon his throne of opulence. No—Yze began as nothing more than a dust-covered peddler, dragging his wares across continents on foot. Silks stitched by moonlight, spices potent enough to awaken third sight—these were his currency as he scrabbled

  • Chapter 147 – The Covenant of Titans: Fires Lit Beneath the Golden Road

    Chapter 147 – The Covenant of Titans: Fires Lit Beneath the Golden RoadDeep within the heart of the Falcon region, nestled in a secured and discreet location where whispers of power echoed louder than any wind, an ancient gathering was quietly underway. The table they sat around was not just a piece of furniture—it was a polished obsidian relic carved in a perfect circle, radiating an aura of unspoken authority. These weren’t ordinary elders playing a friendly round of cards over a pitcher of ale; these were titans cloaked in the flesh of age—wrinkled, slow in gait, backs slightly hunched from decades of conquest. And yet, in their eyes, something unyielding still burned.It wasn’t just stubbornness.It was fire. Raw, undiluted hunger.Their hair, now faded into shades of silver, white, or none at all, whispered of time’s relentless march, but their gazes still burned with the same ferocity that once conquered cities through trade wars and corpor
