Chapter 184
The other puzzle piece to fall into place was the fact that Greg had spent a whole year in secluded meditation both tempering his willpower and trying to deepen his understanding of the law of desire. While he might not yet have mastered a law in the traditional sense, Greg had definitely become more in tune with the greater law of desire. While inside the dungeons, Greg had spent hours trying to sharpen his senses to the deeper truths of the world. He probably wasn't as in tune with the laws of the world as someone like Morpheus, or Olivia's true self for that matter. Greg, however, had far keener senses for things to do with the law of desire than any mortal could be. Having already gotten a sense for what lust felt like to his senses through the DISCERNING ring, and heightening his senses for the emotions that moved people through the law of desire, Greg immediately recognized it when a rush of lust washed over him coming from Mage Kastia's daughter. Unexpected as the reaction wa
Chapter 183
By the mix of dissatisfaction and helplessness in the young man's eyes as he regarded Greg, not even he could find anything objectionable in what Greg had just said. "Here in Telako, it is customary for the host to allow their guests at least an hour of interaction before making an appearance," the young woman Greg had been approaching spoke up, as she stepped out from behind the young man who had barred Greg's way. "Neither mother nor great-grandfather will show up for another half an hour or more," she added, confirming Greg's suspicion that she was related to Mage Kastia. "That makes sense as well," Greg answered after a second of consideration. He then offered a slight bow. "All the same, I thank you for your family's hospitality," he said, before turning around ready to head to where the drinks were. He wasn't at all keen on getting drunk, but it'd give him something to do that didn't involve making new enemies. From the young man's reaction and the way a few of the partygoers w

Although they were in an open space, there had still been the low din of conversations permeating the garden as the attendees mingled with one another. Within a few seconds of his arrival, Greg could almost physically feel the weight of the silence that settled on the garden as the eyes of everyone present turned his way. Was Greg comfortable being the center of attention? The answer was an emphatic no, not even remotely. Did he let it show at all? Not even for a moment. A seventh-tier mage had invited him to this party, there wasn't any doubt in Greg that he'd been under observation from the moment he stepped off the carriage, if not before that. He wasn't going to give them the satisfaction of seeing him rattled. Besides, if these nobles were anything like the nobles in the dungeon, Greg knew that they were a pack of jackals. Expose any weakness before them and they will gladly tear you to bits even as they smile and laugh.And so, despite how exposed it made him feel, Greg stood at

As it turns out, even in this world there were famous designers. Greg would have assumed that only magic-related roles and fields would receive widespread recognition, but then, even in his previous life, people were known for all manner of reasons. From scientists on the cutting edge of their fields to politicians to religious leaders to celebs and 'influencers'. There was no limit to the way people gained renown in his former world, and there was no reason the same couldn't be true in this world. Elwyn was her name, and in her youth, she came up with many designs that took the continent by storm affecting the fashion trends of the continent and, some would argue, beyond. In her old age, she no longer came out with new designs. Already rich beyond most people's wildest dreams, she could sit in her shop all day doing nothing and still live comfortably for the rest of her life. The only time she bothered to do something, was when someone came to her with an idea she considered inspired
Chapter 180
Greg wouldn't have to waste any time trying to figure out where to go for what. After the invite, Greg knew that the cat was out of the bag. More than likely all the movers and shakers of the city would know of him before the day was up, if they didn't already. He thus saw no need to restrict himself to the middle-class areas for his shopping. A part of Greg had been afraid that he wouldn't even be allowed through the door when he got to the upper-class districts. Even in his previous life, Greg knew that some shops maintained their prestige by how exclusive their clientele was. Even if you had the money, you couldn't just walk into their shop and buy whatever you want. His fears weren't exactly unfounded. The first shop Greg entered was a shoe shop and the owner looked at him as if he'd walked in dragging a rotting corpse behind him. Greg would have immediately turned around and walked out to look for somewhere else to shop, unwilling to indulge the man's arrogance. Olivia, however,
Chapter 179
Olivia once told Greg that the dungeons weren't just games, they were meant to equip him with the combat skills, quick thinking, and decision-making abilities that would allow him to navigate real-world situations deftly. And while Greg had understood her words conceptually, never had he been more keenly aware of their truth than in the present moment as his carriage pulled up to the large castle. A DINNER PARTY. That was the title of the first dungeon Greg delved. It required him to find a way to get an invitation to and consequently attend a party thrown by the nobles of a fictional city, Torrin. The dungeon, however, seems to have spilled out into real life as Greg was now about to attend a dinner party thrown by the nobles of the city of Telako. Even though she looked like she wanted to kill Greg as slowly and painfully as possible when they last saw each other, Kastia must have badly wanted the ouroboros scales. Barely an hour after she had departed, workers had begun to arrive
