The village head looked at the young aristocrat.

'Having such skills at such a young age...' even though the Village head had spent most of his childhood in the village, he was not naive to the empire's strength.

"He is unquestionably at B-rank and at the pinnacle." The village chief mumbled.

When one of the villagers heard it, he was astonished.

He also noticed the aristocrat. He'd heard about it before; the young guy appeared to be the ruler of a city in the north. Surprisingly, unlike most lords, this young man is not pompous nor pretentious.

Nonetheless, the young man radiated an air that drew everyone's attention to him.

He didn't behave like the many nobility who would only speak and accomplish nothing.

"Ethan Slayer…" The village chief hummed. "Slayer. Could it be a member of that clan?"

The Slayers were not well-known in the north. But it was a different story for the mighty Ifrit family, and the Slayers were a vessel of the Ifrit family. Even the isolated village they lived i

    The city of VermillionThe merchant guild master, Richard The Noble, scanned through the documents he gripped in his hands. He came to a stop and sat down, his weight causing the chair to squeak.Despite his moniker, he has no noble qualities. He would undoubtedly broaden people's interpretation of the term "fat." Another factor contributing to his weight gain was the manner he kept a variety of snacks and meals spread out on his table.A second reason Richard The Noble chose his name was that, in this life, he would never be able to become a noble without making significant contributions to the empire.As a trader, he had no method of helping the empire because of their stingy outlook that only saw their own interests."I've heard that it's difficult for you men to hold the fort." As he talked, the biscuit chips started to fly out. "And you expect me to supply additional weapons and rations?" He laughed and sipped wine from the cup.The mercenary guild delegate grimaced at the obviou

    Richard the Noble paused for a while to consider his options.If he didn't have an appointment, he wouldn't bother meeting with a common nobility, but something inside of him was yelling for him to find out why the person was there.As a trader, his instincts told him there might be a huge discovery. Furthermore, the noble's identity was rather ambiguous.Richard stood there, thinking. "Bring him to the third floor," he finally decided."As you desire!" said the servant, relieved. He didn't want to turn down the individual who had come today.In an effort to seem menacing, Richard adjusted his stance after the servant departed to make himself appear 1 centimetre higher.He rose up and glanced in the mirror, which couldn't even display half of his physique because his stomach covered most of it. He proceeded up the steps, accompanied by two guards, and entered a large chamber.He would have had a heart attack just trying to ascend the stairs if he wasn't a C-rank warrior.A young man i

    Ignoring the rodents that were creeping around me, I considered a larger issue.The Beast Kingdom, which had been dormant for decades, grew increasingly active and often invaded the empire's frontiers.Especially along the border, where my city was located.The Beast Kingdom's history predates the Brightwing Empire, hence there should be records of it."Where shall we go, Young Master?" Jacob inquired. All this time, they had been waiting for me outside the Merchants Guild."Let us return to the inn. Following this, I have to go someplace.""OK," Jacob said, leading the way.A small group of guards followed me, but the majority accompanied the villagers on their trip.I reached into my pockets and pulled out a pouch. "Here." One of the guards nearly failed to grab it when I threw it at him."That's some spending money. Go out and explore the city after you've secured the inn. This city is well-known for its brothels. Have a good time."The guards exchanged glances. Nobody could have p

    "May I enter?" I inquired.In comparison to the guy collecting the entrance charge at the door, the man watching over the library was more competent."Enter," the guy said.I had just taken a step inside when the man grabbed my arm and shouted, "Wait."I looked back and fixed my gaze on him.The only thing the guy could do was frown. He scanned the area with his eyes, looking left and right. Finally, he stated, "Nothing. It could only be my imagination." He waved his hand and silently shut the door in my face.In that one split second when they entered the library, I was certain the guy sensed the presence of my pursuers. Laughable in a big way.I'm curious whether the wizard perched atop the tower discovered anything unusual. If he hadn't, I would have dramatically exaggerated his ability."Books." I exhaled a sigh."I used to despise books. Those concepts, computations, and formulae all required learning on my part. It made me feel ill. But now that my Intelligence level has explode

    Richard got the news from his men. They followed Ethan for two days but saw nothing unusual during that time. The same might be said of his servants and bodyguards. On the other hand, the noble's routine was so lacklustre that they first had doubts about it, supposing that the young guy was bluffing.After all, it was uncommon to encounter a child who was so engrossed in reading that he remained stationary for more than a dozen hours inside the library.They discovered that the young man was only reading history after carefully examining the books he had been reading. The content wasn't very noteworthy, but it was definitely something the nobility could have used.Richard even recruited a specialist to look for any hidden messages in the books, but the specialist came up empty-handed."Although having certain interests is not unusual for nobility, isn't it over the top? He has been reading books in the library for the past three days, right?"Even the chubby merchant found it difficu

    Ice Demon City.It had been a week since Baron Ethan and his merry band of misfits had set out towards Vermillion City. The duty of monitoring and watching over the city fell to Dray and Nero.Dray currently lived in his own home, which was connected to the dungeon below by a sizable hole.The villagers and kids would come to play with him every morning, and people would stop to chat with him.And he'd teach them how to use an axe.He was already too darn good-looking for anyone to dislike, and he could now blend in just fine as a regular person.It was late at night.Dray sat on his bed after the kids had departed and released his senses around the city. It was becoming increasingly difficult for him to level up even once now that his level had risen.Their previous advantage of quickly levelling has nearly evaporated.Suddenly.Dray's eyes lit up as he sat peacefully with a spark of illumination.His awareness was already broad enough to include the entire city because he was an A-r

    One of the killers yelled in a hushed voice, "Answer me!"The assassin remarked in shame, "At your level, there should be no need for you to lie!He assumed Dray was mocking them out of boredom."Seriously?"Dray sighed, shaking his head.No one believes the truth nowadays, unfortunately. It was quite challenging. Monsters, on the other hand, do not lie, although humans are extremely deceiving and cunning.It was disgraceful for someone like him, who preferred to communicate with an axe and a fist, to use words to deceive or dupe adversaries.Humans lacked the most fundamental form of trust."I'm keeping watch over this city. You cannot storm in. I can act as if nothing happened tonight if you leave right now."Dray didn't elaborate more and talked in a lighter tone. He'd uttered this statement four or five times this week.Wise had advised them not to kill on the spur of the moment and to let the invaders leave if they posed no threat. And Dray could see that these two killers posed

    "Hey! Why should we listen to a brat like you?" The interjection came from the back of the crowd, a young soldier, his face flushed with anger, his eyes blazing with defiance. The rest of the soldiers turned to stare, their expressions a mixture of curiosity and apprehension.A genuine smile spread across my face. Finally, someone had the audacity to speak up. A flicker of satisfaction ignited within me. This was exactly what I had been hoping for, wasn't it? Didn't this feel like the natural order of things?I had anticipated this moment from the very beginning. There was no way these esteemed scions of nobility and battle-hardened knights would meekly submit to the commands of a mere child. The moment I was elected commander of one of the three mighty armies, I knew this tension would inevitably arise. After all, who among these talented warriors would willingly follow a teenager with little to boast of in terms of accomplishments? And let's not forget the shadow of my less-than-st

    Ladia couldn't help but castigate herself for her lapse in judgment. How had she not seen it before? If the involvement of the magic towers would significantly aid the Empire, then the impact of the very person who had defeated the magicians of the tower participating would be monumental.The princess's heart thrummed with the realization, chiding herself for taking so long to come to this epiphany. Was Ethan's proposal the correct course of action or not? She no longer dwelled on the question.With a steely gaze, Ladia announced, "I have reached a verdict."The room fell silent as all eyes turned to the princess. The final decision lay in her hands, and she was ready to reveal it. The anticipation hung heavy in the air, and Ladia took a deep breath before continuing. "I have decided to accept Ethan's proposal."A murmur of surprise rippled through the room, but Ladia held up her hand for silence. "I believe that Ethan's plan, with a few modifications, is the best course of action for

    My suggestion ignited a firestorm of debate among the upper echelons of the capital. The princess convened her officials in the grand throne room, where the air was thick with tension and uncertainty as they deliberated their next course of action. Ultimately, the march toward the City of Aran was postponed by a full day, a delay that weighed heavily on everyone present. The officials found themselves divided, caught between two stark choices: should they attempt to reclaim the nearby City of Aran from the Beast Kingdom, or should they focus their efforts on retaking the more strategically significant City of Northfall?"But, Your Majesty," one of the officials interjected, his voice rising above the murmurs of the assembly, "as we stand now, we cannot afford to risk an attack on the Northfall Fortress! I have heard reports that the beastmen have fortified their walls and laid even more traps to ensnare us! If we allow this farce to continue, we will be nothing more than lambs led to

  • Demon's Evolution   Indecisive

    A chill snaked down Ryle's spine. Ethan's suggestion hung in the air, heavy and suffocating, like a shroud woven from despair. To attack City of Aran, a fortress city now bristling with tens of thousands of Beast Kingdom soldiers, felt like a declaration of utter annihilation. Even Lance, their most valiant commander, had fallen captive within its walls.Ryle's brow creased into a deep furrow. He, too, was a commander of the Initiation Army, a man who had tasted the bitterness of defeat and the sting of loss. He couldn't fathom how Ethan, this newly appointed leader, could so blithely propose a course of action that reeked of self-destruction."I cannot, in good conscience, agree with your plan," Ryle stated, his voice laced with a mixture of disbelief and frustration. "As we stand now, attacking Northfall City is a fool's errand, a suicide mission. We are scattered, depleted, and outmatched. We must first rally our remaining forces, regroup along the borders, and then, and only then,

    "Ryle Green, step forward!" the Royal advisor said, seeing Ryle was in a daze.Ryle coughed and stepped forward, his heart pounding with excitement as he knelt before the Princess."Ryle Green, you are hereby granted authority over fifty thousand soldiers," the Princess said, her voice like a melody that soothed the soul. "You shall be the commander of the Vanguard Army!"With a snap of her fingers, the Princess bestowed an insignia upon Ryle's shoulder, its glow of light like a beacon of hope in the face of the looming threat of the Beast Kingdom."I will crush those beastmen for you, Your Highness!" Ryle said, his voice filled with determination and resolve.The Princess smiled, her eyes filled with pride and hope. "We have faith in you, Ryle," she said. "Together, we will defeat the Beast Kingdom and restore peace to our lands."Princess Ladia nodded, a hint of a smile playing on her lips. "I expect a lot from the younger generation, Ryle," she said, her voice laced with both encou

  • Demon's Evolution   The Chosen Commanders

    The Dwarven Kingdom, a land renowned for its glittering wealth, held its breath. The Brightwing Empire’s meager offer, a desperate plea for aid, was all they had to entice the notoriously hard-drinking mercenaries. Even if their weapons were outdated, their reputation for unmatched effectiveness in battle preceded them. Surely, that would be enough.“Your Majesty,” a guard murmured, his voice barely a tremor in the air. “They have arrived.”Princess Ladia, lost in a labyrinth of thought, startled slightly. She had wrestled with the decision for what felt like an eternity, but finally, a solution had emerged. All that remained was to face them, to meet their gaze and offer her hand in this desperate alliance.Viscount Lamiel, a man whose arrogance was only surpassed by his thirst for gold, strode into the royal garden, flanked by a legion of equally boisterous mercenaries. Princess Ladia recognized most of them – the nobles summoned by the crown, their faces etched with a mixture of g

    The scene unfolded with brutal efficiency. Several soldiers, their faces grim and resolute, descended upon Drew and the other soldier, their movements swift and decisive. There was no struggle, no desperate pleas for mercy. They walked away with heads bowed, accepting their fate with a stoic silence that spoke volumes of their resignation.Ryle, his expression a mixture of weariness and amusement, ran a hand through his hair, a sigh escaping his lips. "What a waste of a perfectly good sleep," he muttered, his voice laced with a hint of exasperation. "Young men like myself need our rest, yet everyone seems determined to disrupt my slumber over such trivial matters."His gaze shifted to me, and a playful smile curved his lips. "Allow me to introduce myself," he said, extending a hand towards me. "Ryle Green, third son of Count Green, and as you might be able to tell, the future commander of this very army." He spoke with an air of unwavering confidence, his words carrying the weight of

    Two soldiers from a rival camp, their boots crunching on the gravel path, happened upon the conversation. One soldier, his face contorting with barely suppressed mirth, clamped a hand over his mouth, desperately trying to stifle a chuckle. His companion, sensing the impending eruption, jabbed him in the ribs with an elbow, a silent plea for decorum. But the laughter, like a trapped spring, was too powerful to contain. Tears welled in the soldier's eyes, threatening to spill over as his shoulders shook with silent mirth. Finally, with a strangled cry, he burst into a full-blown guffaw. "Hahahaha! If it's the Young Master leading us! Hahaha! We'll be able to… Pft! Hahaha!"The sound of his uncontrolled laughter echoed through the camp, drawing curious glances from nearby soldiers. Gaston, his face a mask of confusion and irritation, turned to the source of the amusement. "Excuse me, but what's so funny?" he demanded, his voice laced with displeasure.The soldier, still gasping for br

    The unyielding army of the Ice Demon City had been journeying for a considerable number of weeks, traversing a multitude of cities and towns along the way. During our sojourns, we would occasionally restock our supplies, find respite in taverns, and often in the great outdoors, before resuming our arduous trek.Given the unfortunate circumstances, we were informed that the Ice Demon City was the most distant of all cities from the capital. This reality meant that we were among the last to receive the urgent message, compelling us to join the ranks of the other nobles and their armies in the capital.It was in the fourth week of our relentless march that we finally arrived in the grand and magnificent Capital city. The journey had been long and arduous, but our determination never wavered, as we knew our presence was required in these critical times.
