Since the revelation of Percy’s identity several days had passed. It hadn’t always been easy, especially with his parents asking numerous questions…questions he didn’t have an answer to, but it worked out fine. He’d told them almost everything he knew while also sharing his worries. That he didn’t feel like the crown prince, let alon...
2024-09-29 10:00:07 +0000 UTC View Post“Have you heard the most recent news?” One of the servants in the royal palace looked at an older colleague, “The crown prince has returned from the dead.”
The old servant clicked his tongue, “He didn’t return from the dead. The crown prince was never dead.”
“You say that now! Before the crown prince returned, you sai...
2024-09-27 10:00:08 +0000 UTC View PostPercy was seated opposite Sophia and around the corner of the Queen, who smiled at him. But he was tense and uncomfortable. How could he feel comfortable eating with the royal family?
The servants didn’t help him release the tension either. They treated him in an overly lovely manner, almost like he was more important than the rest...
2024-09-26 10:00:06 +0000 UTC View PostInstead of proceeding to determine whether everyone’s doubts were valid or if it all was just a big mistake, the King chose to postpone the grand final to the next day.
“I think we have a lot to talk about,” Phillip Kain said to Paul Reeze in a severe tone. Paul agreed with a simple nod.
The Queen turned to Percy. Her lips part...
2024-09-25 10:00:09 +0000 UTC View PostThe fist of an old man crashed heavily onto a heavy wooden desk, shaking it thoroughly.
“So the assassins did not only fail miserably, but you also lost track of him…only for him to appear in the royal forest? Are you fucking stupid?!?! How could you lose that kid? It’s not like he’s a trained assassin!” The man cursed, his eyes ...
2024-09-23 10:00:08 +0000 UTC View PostPercy wasn’t sure what the conversation between the two women meant until he recalled something.
I was supposed to meet the queen this morning? Are they serious?
Various thoughts flashed through his mind, but none stuck and remained. They dispersed long before Percy could grasp what was going on. As the myriad of thoughts ...
2024-09-22 10:00:08 +0000 UTC View Post“First, Percy decided to ignore the meeting and disappeared, and now the princess is missing as well. How could their maid lose Sophia? She isn’t that fast and never threw a tantrum. The little girl is responsible and knows not to worry anyone. So why now?” Paul Reeze cursed softly.
He glanced at his wife, who smiled gently at him. U...
2024-09-20 10:00:11 +0000 UTC View PostA young girl with long, silky black hair and azure eyes roaming through the royal forest without worries could only be the princess of the Kainesh Kingdom.
That was unexpected, to say the least, but it wasn’t advantageous.
If she tells someone that I’ve entered the royal forest without permission, they’ll execute me...
2024-09-19 10:00:08 +0000 UTC View PostEscaping civilization and leaving behind all responsibilities, from time to time, worked wonders.
Percy slept like a stone. The tension left his body throughout the night as the nocturnal creatures opened their eyes. The creatures of the night weren’t silent and probably a threat to an unguarded young man like Percy, but he wasn’t worr...
2024-09-18 10:00:03 +0000 UTC View Post“It’s not my fault trouble is coming my way,” Percy murmured, but that didn’t help with Melissa’s deadly glare. If anything, Melissa looked like she considered killing him on the spot. That was…not good.
Percy hurriedly walked around the wooden counter and tried ignoring Melissa as he headed for the eveewood door. He channeled ...
2024-09-16 10:00:04 +0000 UTC View PostThe brothers didn’t stay long in the Dragon Lair shop. They came early to talk to Percy and make sure that he was doing fine, but they had to leave for the morning training session.
Erik and Tarlek asked Percy to create Master Artifacts for them when he had the time and money to do so. Customized Elite Artifacts were already precious and...
2024-09-15 10:00:07 +0000 UTC View PostThe guard saved himself by putting all the blame on the Golden Koi. The Golden Koi was a medium-sized shop – the owner probably being the one who’d bribed the three guards and the ruffians – and its main establishment was two streets away from the Dragon Lair.
The Golden Koi had few serious competitors in the vicinity and ignor...
2024-09-14 10:00:10 +0000 UTC View PostThe profit he’d raked was nice, but it felt even better to invest into his employees. Percy wasn’t sure why he felt like that, but the sensation of supporting Bert and helping the siblings did something to him. It allowed him to give back the help he’d received in Raewood and find a perfect balance to the bloody life he’d lived after gai...
2024-09-12 10:00:06 +0000 UTC View PostThe first products made from Silvron entered his view underneath the iron armaments. He didn’t recognize them initially but quickly noticed a few major differences between the iron and silvron armaments.
They appeared similar but silvron was more milky. It wasn’t a big difference, but that was mostly owed to the refinement method used ...
2024-09-11 10:00:07 +0000 UTC View PostPercy didn’t know much about Beastmen and the war between the Kainesh Kingdom and the Beastlands, but he’d heard that the king escorted the war slaves back to their homes if they wanted to return. That was also why one would rarely met pure-blooded Beastmen in the Kainesh Kingdom. Most Beastman accepted the offer to return to the Beastlands ...
2024-09-10 10:00:05 +0000 UTC View PostThe bulky Adventurer stumbled backward and landed on the ground with a loud thud. A pained groan escaped his lips while streams of blood poured from his nose.
Is it just me, or is that angsty kid much stronger than he looks?
Percy glanced at Louis for a moment before his eyes fell upon the profusely bleeding Adventurer...
2024-09-09 10:00:06 +0000 UTC View PostPercy followed the Adventurer’s advice and slowly increased the prices of his goods. He didn’t go as far as to double the prices of the goods in his shop, but it was enough to notice.
The trio of Adventurers and others noticed the changed prices but didn’t say anything. Everyone living in the capital for a while had already predicted...
2024-09-08 10:00:07 +0000 UTC View PostIt hadn’t been long since Percy arrived in the capital, and it was only obvious that he lacked important information about various things. That included the prices of potions, Artifacts, and what exactly the prices indicated.
Still, he was bewildered when he heard about deteriorating runic enchantments and Artifacts being sold for a smal...
2024-09-07 10:00:04 +0000 UTC View PostPercy had two valuable runic rings to display as his main attractions. One Silvron Ring with [Enhanced Senses] and the Yvelton Ring with [Energy Shield]. The latter was more valuable and could probably be sold for a decent fortune. But even if they were valuable, an Elite Weapon Artifact was probably an even better attraction.
He cast a gl...
2024-09-05 10:00:06 +0000 UTC View PostThe elderly woman took his coins without hesitation, but she eyed him with great curiosity.
“Why would someone from your status purchase these potions after everything I have told you?”
“My status?” Percy snickered and added with a shrug, “It shouldn’t matter to you for what purpose I purchase your potions. I’m paying t...
2024-09-04 10:00:06 +0000 UTC View PostHiring Bert was less problematic than expected. However, Bert felt like he owed Percy a lot for paying his loan.
“Are you sure about that?” Bert asked with the contract in his trembling hands.
Percy was willing to pay his lease, which totaled 50 silver coins a month, in addition to the material cost as a base fee. In addition, Pe...
2024-09-03 10:00:05 +0000 UTC View PostI'm sorry guys but I have been feeling under the weather and didn't manage to finish writing today's chapter. I hope that's fine!
On another note, I think I never clarified the release schedule. I don't have a perfect release schedule or anything like that but I plan to release between 5 to 7 chapters a 1.5k+ words long chapters every week...
2024-09-02 09:00:05 +0000 UTC View PostApparently, there was a lot to wish for.
Percy didn’t own any furniture other than the one found downstairs. The shelves on the first floor were intact, and the shop was ready to be opened at any time, given he’d procure enough goods to upgrade and sell. However, that shouldn’t be an issue.
Still, before doing anything else, Pe...
2024-09-01 10:00:07 +0000 UTC View PostToday was a really long day. It was still early in the morning, but so much had already happened. Still, Percy felt great. He was in a better mood than he had been for the last few months, knowing he could do whatever he wanted. Basically, at least.
Percy entered a shop near the tailor, purchasing a small knife to trim his beard. There was...
2024-08-30 10:00:07 +0000 UTC View PostWealthy merchants should know enough about the purity of eyes and the theories revolving around that topic to tell that Percy wasn’t one of their average customers.
Adding high-class clothes from a master tailor should be enough to convince anyone of his heritage.
Even if I have no clue who I am, who says I cannot f...
2024-08-29 10:00:05 +0000 UTC View PostThe spatial ring was already at its limit and couldn’t be Ego-enhanced without destroying it, but the unenchanted rings told different stories. The Interfaces were interesting to look at.
Silvron Ring
Good Quality
785 Prosperity
The first thing Percy did in the morning was to search the shopping alley. He devised a few interesting plans but most required him to look like an esteemed noble or a wealthy Gifted.
That was how he ended up in one of the more prestigious tailor shops minutes after they opened. The master tailor accepted only customers if one of his...
2024-08-27 10:00:07 +0000 UTC View PostThe forest within the capital was calming. It filled Percy with peace, something he hadn’t felt for a while. The tension filling his body for the last few weeks dispersed, replaced by a calm, soothing sensation.
This feels good. I should spend more time doing nothing important. Training all day is wearing on me.
He sighed ...
2024-08-26 10:00:07 +0000 UTC View PostDamian Sergon walked past the guards and hurriedly entered the Reeze estate. He hinted a bow to Melissa, who was training in the front yard, and rushed to the duke’s office, where the Reeze Duke was already waiting.
“Paul, we have a pro–....” Damian couldn’t even finish the sentence before the duke raised his hand to stop his old...
2024-08-25 10:00:05 +0000 UTC View PostPercy kept a straight face as he walked through his small but comfortable room. His eyes threatened to expose Percy for a moment, but he regained control of himself.
Why is someone else in my room, hiding in the shadows with daggers in his hands? I cannot sense any bloodlust, but it is not like you cannot hide bloodlust. That guy must ...
