Located on the south side of the valley is the entrance to the mine.

In front of the entrance there are a series of cabins as well as a building a little larger than the rest, all these structures were made of wood and the wear and the passage of time was noticeable.

The building that stood out was the communal hall, which was in the center of the small settlement.

After a long and difficult day in the mine, in the afternoon the workers gathered in the communal hall to sing, drink, exchange stories and generally have a good time in a humble way.

In total there were 8 workers at the Gelhorn mine.

    "Are you ... a cleric ...?" asked nervously one of the three miners who had not lost consciousness of him."Or maybe a priest?" another miner continued."Or maybe ..." the last miner started "a magician?"Before Zark delivered an answer, he looked around him, since he was rectifying that his spell had healed the fallen miners.Watching the other miners slowly get up, he realized that they were the same or even more confused than the three miners who remained standing.In his mind, he wanted to respond by saying "I am Zark and I am a Warlock" but decided against it, as DM recalled that in the worlds of magic and fantasy Warlocks do not have a pleasant reputation, since they are generally viewed in an unfavorable light.For that reason he decided not to, instead he looked at the miners and replied "They are only a humble Spellcaster" that answer was not completely true but it was not an absolute lie, since he decided to hide what type of Spell

    After a short period of walking, the group saw what looks like a farm, it was made up of two buildings.The first looked like a barn made of old weathered wood, while the second looked like a large family house which was in an equally precarious state as the barn.At the bottom, approximately 100 meters away, was a river whose water flowed slowly; On one of the banks of the river was an old dilapidated structure made of wood, which somehow resembled an old and dilapidated port.As Zark watched the growing wheat fields, he felt something on his back move uncomfortably.Turning his head, he found that Ingrid, who was on his back, was moving.Noticing her gaze, Ingrid said "Please put me down""Are you sure?" Zark asked questioningly in his deep voice, although he seemed kind of perverted, there was actually no malice in his actions.With her face flushed, Ingrid looked in another direction so as not to make direct contact with Zark's ey

    The Wern Family listen carefully to the story about the undead who attacked the mine.Given the silence of the environment, it was easy to hear the throats gulping with concern."That's terrible" Emrich said with an anguished and gloomy expression "But if we go to Gelhofen, what will happen to the farm?""Ingrid, explain to them" were Zark's only words, as she was the expert in Necromancy, she would surely be able to give a convincing answer."Yes," she said after taking a spoonful of tasteless oatmeal, "if the undead are not being commanded directly, chances are high they will simply ignore the farm.""How are you sure?" asked Hugo, Emrich's brother "the church has told us that the undead are creatures without minds"Before answering, Ingrid took a new spoonful of the disgusting oatmeal “although your reasoning is valid for the simple undead like Zombies and Skeletons; beings like the Lich, the vampires and the mummies are something t

    While Zark was talking quietly with his grandfather, he had a bad feeling as a chill ran down his spine at the same time that he heard in his ear the whisper of a voice from a young woman who said "help him" was not the only word, but was the only one I could discern. Unintentionally he used "[Detect Undead]" and immediately became aware of the current situation. "Surrounded" were Zark's only words followed by "Keil, the door." Following her orders, she opened the door as Zark dispersed the [silence] spell. Once the room recovered the sound from outside, she shook them with the screams of Myriam and Cassandra. Looking at the scene she saw that Emrich had been pierced by a thick spear, at the same time she noticed that Nyos had his weapon in hand along with a fighting stance ready to defend the girls. Zark's subconscious said "Up" although he couldn't confirm it, something told him that something terrible was happening upstairs.

    "Back off" were Nyos's words as he, along with Myriam and Cassandra, took a few steps back.Thanks to the [Heart of Leon] spell used by his lord on the girls, they were able to partially control his emotions.But looking at them sideways, Nyos could see that although they were relatively calm, his gazes were from someone whose spirit was broken.The death of a relative was surely painful, in one way or another, Nyos could feel empathy for these girls.Among the generals, Nyos was the only Humanoid, this gave him a point of view that he alone could feel.Although if he was compared to an average dark elf, Nyos was far superior to that as he belonged to the noble dark elf race (a superior version of the average elf), and although he possessed superior capabilities, he still possessed the limitations of being a Humanoid.That, being a Humanoid, gave him the opportunity to see things in a different way.Keil saw the humanoids as a hindran

    Her skin, which was that of a young girl approximately 13 or 14 years old, in a short time partially changed to shiny silver scales, mostly these scales covered specific parts of the body. The outer part of her fragile arms partially got a scaly coating, while the inner part of her retained her human appearance. Her delicate hands turned into dangerous dragon claws as sharp as razors. Her legs were horribly deformed as they changed from being Plantigrades (legs that support the entire sole of the foot when walking) to Digitigrades (legs that only put the toes on the ground). From the tips of her fingers to her knees, her skin got a reptilian appearance along with a coating of silver scales. Connected to her knees, the scaly covering also partially covered her thighs, the only section not covered by scales being the pelvis. From the bottom of her spine, right at her coccyx, a fine and delicate scaly reptilian tail emerged, which althoug

    After nonchalantly walking to the front of the assailant group, Isabell looked around.“Everyone, thank you for gathering in this place for me. Oh yeah, who is your leader? Could we negotiate for a moment? "Seeing that the bandits looked at one of their own, Isabell got the information she wanted. Which meant that with the exception of this man, the others were more than cockroaches. Blood tastes better if it comes from someone strong."What ... what do you want to negotiate?"After seeing the most beautiful young woman he had ever seen, the man who seemed to be her leader finally regained his composure and advanced towards her."Ahh, forgive me. The negotiation was just a joke to get the information she wanted. Forgive me."A few men looked confused, and in search of answers they began to look at each other, but among these men ...

    A carriage was speeding away from the walled city.Four strong horses pulled a carriage that was large enough to carry six passengers.The surrounding area was unexpectedly illuminated by a bright moon hanging in the sky… But still, it was foolish to travel in haste on a night like this. Putting up lights, making camp and standing guard would be a wiser decision.To say that the night was a world in which humans were not in control would not be enough. To put it more clearly, the places where the light did not reach did not belong to humans. Countless animals and monsters lurked at night, many of which could see through the darkness and attack humans.On a dangerous night like this, the passengers only felt a slight vibration as the carriage moved down the road.This small vibration was not due to the carriage having excellent suspension, but rather because the carriage wa

    Azrael looked around the luxurious room. Of course, if one were to compare this room with the rooms in Damenburg Castle, then it could be said that this room did not have any charm.Sure, that wasn't something surprising since he had simply chosen the wrong object to compare. It was like comparing iron to platinum.But even if platinum was higher in price, iron had another kind of utility.Azrael focused his gaze on the corner of the room and found that the luggage was already ready and assembled. They could leave immediately if they wanted to. Since Azrael hadn't prepared it, Isabell must have made it herself when she had left the restaurant."You should have let me pack the luggage."“What are you saying Azrael?

Perhaps due to his age and his extravagant eating habits, he had a large belly.He was tastefully dressed, his elegant clothes spoke of a man of a high position."Are you Mr. Bryman?"Azrael nodded slightly as he greeted him, but the man was quick to stop such a gesture."Ah, you don't need to be so polite."His name was Thomas Bryman and he was a fairly

    "Is this how your parents met?" asked a handsome man with night-black hair and deep eyes brimming with charisma."Romantic. Don't you think? " were the words of a charming girl whose beauty would amaze anyone who witnessed her, her silver hair was combed in such a way that she had a fringe that covered her left eye; her slim body and abnormally pale skin gave him a fragile appearance."I suppose ... he has the charm of him" said the handsome man, who wore an elegant long-sleeved black raincoat over a black leather jerkin which fitted perfectly to his torso; Gala pants along with refined black shoes finished making up his outfit."Right?" were the words spoken by the charming girl, who was wearing a beautiful black dress with red details; Her dress had a prominent victory style, so on her torso she had a tight corset which highlighted her feminine curves."Moving on to a less ... peculiar topic" began

    "I offer you my humble respects, Earl Drake." The man's accent was particularly strong; it was obvious that he was a foreigner. Imperial, perhaps, or farther west, Leom thought, trying to place it. "And you, fair lady," he added as he turned to Shandri, "you are lovely. A beautiful rose between these two withered thorns. "The woman's face lit up at the simple compliment. A lopsided smile crept to her lips and she bowed gracefully without taking her gaze from the man's eyes. And what eyes did she have! They were of animal intensity, loaded with nameless appetites. She was swallowed up by that gaze and willingly surrendered to the sensation.The man had power and was not averse to exploiting it. A slow predatory smile appeared on her face.Shandri felt a force draw her toward the newcomer. It was a subtle but compelling sensation. She took a step toward him."Stop staring at him, woman, he's very unse

    Shandri sat on the edge of the old man's bed and wiped the blood-streaked saliva off his chin, then turned her attention to his uncle. He had known him all his life. In other times he had kissed the ground where he walked, but with age he came to understand that man was a worm. "And I suppose I have no say in the matter." Leom studied his niece for an awkward moment as she pushed her long blonde hair away from her face. She was beautiful in her own way, with fair skin and fine bones. The combination of her gave him a charming air of delicacy, although in reality the young woman she possessed the bad temper of the Drake family and she could be as devious as a weasel if she wished. “Not in the least, I'm afraid, my dear.
