Roughly a 15-minute walk from there was the second option for the house he was supposed to buy. He could not wait to take a bath because the mud and blood from his adventures were really taking a toll on him."Big Sis Aria, you're home!" A little figure could be seen dashing towards Aria when she entered the house.The little girl was wearing a sleeping pajama with floral designs. Her features were pretty and cute, her looks would doubt would be a ravishing beauty in the future. She was a mini-version of Aria but with a lighter shade of emerald green hair.'These girls must be little leaves. The Greene name in their family heritage was without reason.' Aster assumed in his head while watching the interaction of the sisters."Oh, sis Aria. Who is the guest at the door? Is he your man?" A new voice came from the house as another Aria came to Aster's view. She was the same age as Aria but compared to the latter's mature and smart features, this one had a mischievous air around her.There

"If you agree, I will work for you—cooking, cleaning, and preparing necessities. Basically, we'd be sharing quarters while you laze around, only needing to pay your dues with the money you have," she said, trying to persuade me when she noticed I was still unconvinced. "Since you're new in town, I'm the perfect information broker. I'll even give you the chance to wed and bed me. But don’t get carried away with your wild fantasies—owning my body doesn’t mean you own my heart. You'll have to work for that. This is for my siblings’ future."I raised a brow, unsure if I should laugh or be wary. Information and maid services? I couldn’t care less. I was perfectly capable of taking care of myself. Even as a former prestigious young master, I had trained myself in various survival skills—cooking, carpentry, even cleaning.But the bonus of only paying a thousand gold coins? Not bad. And as for the prospect of having Aria… well, who was I to refuse when I was a man of culture? Aria would be an

We locked eyes, both refusing to blink. It was like one of those absurd competitions where the first to flinch would be the loser—the one who had to give up on getting their hands on the house. A rare sight, really. Two teens barely stepping into adulthood, arguing over a high-priced property like seasoned investors.Minutes passed, and we remained locked in this silent battle of wills. Neither of us noticed that someone new had entered the room.She was a mature beauty, her long green locks and matching emerald eyes standing out effortlessly. Every curve of her body was accentuated by the tight-fitting dress she wore, exuding confidence and control.She stepped behind the counter, standing beside Aria. Since I was facing them directly, I was the first to notice her arrival."Hello," I greeted casually, already suspecting that she was the one behind the voice I’d heard earlier—the boss lady."Hello to you as well." She smiled, her voice smooth yet authoritative. "My name is Esmeralda
Arc 2, Chapter 57
"This house is near the café that serves the best hot cocoa!" she said, describing it like she truly knew every landmark worth visiting.'This house' and 'that house' were spouted in every nook and cranny of the building. Caelum’s brows twitched, unsure if he should laugh or cry at the clerk’s enthusiasm.She even divulged personal information that she was supposed to withhold professionally—like her birthday and the fact that her house was near the school.From what he knew, she had recently turned sixteen and was expecting to enter the next semester at the academy. She was older than him by a month and had siblings.Caelum sighed inwardly. Sister, here I thought you were some formidable smartypants my age. Then you shattered that illusion with your innocent enthusiasm.Be professional here. Be professional! he told himself but couldn’t bring himself to say it out loud. Somehow, he couldn’t bear to break her happy expression."Alright, alright. That’s enough, little Aria."A calm voi
Arc 2, Chapter 56
'Maybe the con artist's divination of my presence bringing about destruction to the Suns clan was true. If I were to release one-third of my knowledge to the public, the advantage that the Suns clan has built up for generations would crumble.'He grinned at the image of his supposed ancestors cursing his deviousness. Even if he were to act selfless and apathetic by letting his family trample all over his existence, deep down inside himself was the need to pluck some ribs out of their ribcage.'I am not some saintly sage that would willingly offer my limbs as a sacrifice to their every will. I am an imperfect human being who seeks recompense.'Saying that quote in his mind made him nod subconsciously, proud of his words—words that could go down in history if he were to publish them to the world.The world he was on was called Tellus. It could be described as boundless, with countless unexplored locations. Existences capable of traversing its colossal surface area could be labeled as go
Arc 2 Chapter 55: Plan for the future
A lush of vegetation could be seen below as a Golden Wyvern puppet traversed it. Winds brushed past its metallic wings, yet its passengers did not feel any sort of discomfort. Hours of travel had already taken a toll on their mana reserves, and the long silence on the way was really vexing for them. "We are getting close," Mart Suns said to his other four companions. They had to travel afar from the imperial capital of Skyfire to a city at the edge of the nation for a reason. "Finally. It was stifling on the way here." Carter Suns gave his opinion as he looked at the reason for all of their troubles. At the rear end of the flying puppet was a boy at the young age of fifteen. His features were that of noble birth, with handsome charms under his black hair. The teen's eyes were black and despondent as he viewed the fast-moving scenery below. "Tsk. What a pain!" Mart sneered in discontent when he saw the indifferent attitude of the teen. "Kid, you should at least be thankful. We had
