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
