Annou So I did make a Discord for the series. It's very bare bo the moment, but it be built up. Here is the link. https://disc/CYYG5WzJ After the link has expired (should st for 7 days) ask for it in the ents or send me a message.

  I was at the guild again. I guess an adventurer would find themselves here on a daily basis. Uhey were taking a day off because of a thuorm.

  “Lord Brandon, wele. We have been expeg you.” Zayaan weled Brandon to the guild in a serious tone.

  “Stop that already. You know you don’t o kiss my ass anymore.” Brandon responded.

  “I suppose so.” Zay said, much more casually. “Lex just wants me to keep up the preseting of a guild master.”

  Lex? Oh yeah, the ex-master was Alexander.

  “And I see yht Brian with you as well.” Zay added.

  “Yes, I came along as well. I hope you don’t mind.” I responded.

  “It’s fine. I was expeg at least one guard with Brandon.” Zay said to me.

  … oh yeah. We didn’t have a dedicated guard with us. Just the an. I thought it was normal for a small-town noble, but perhaps Brandon is just using me as a guard. Should I be angry at him for using me like this? Or just impressed that he actually has any trust i this point.

  We moved to the backyard of the guild. They had built up a pile of lumber there. The area was a little tight for something that size to be lit on fire, but I suppose they have some water mages present to keep the fire under trol. They wouldn’t just do it otherwise, right? This isn’t some idea by Zay that is being done for the first time, right?

  I also noticed some people I didn’t know present in the backyard. sidering that Mario is with them, they might be the families of the deceased.

  I stood off to the side as Brando over to the deceased, saying something akin to a prayer o each of them.

  For me, this was a moment I took to make a toploader for a spell I wao use.

  5x Mustering of the Dark Scorpions, 4x Kagemusha of the Blue Fme, 3x Dark Energy, 3x Kumootoko, 3x Dark Scorpion - Chick the Yellow, 3x Two Thousand Needles, 2x Goblin of Greed, 2x Dark Scorpion bination,

  After Brandon had his moment to say what he was saying, the families had their final moment as well. Then the bodies were moved to the lumber pile and the pile was set on fire.

  I decided this would be the optimal time for my spell, so I pulled it out of colle.

  “Soul Release.” I said quietly. A barely noticeable blue glow surrouhe bodies in the fire, but as the fire was bzing around them, I doubt aiced any differenbsp;

  Soul Release allows people to pass on in peace, making sure they would never rise again as undead. I think the fire would prevent it as well, but at least with this, they will hopefully make it to the afterlife or the circle of reination fine.

  “Brian, did you do something?” Lua had sneaked o me from somewhere. I didn’t even see her at the guild earlier so I thought she would be out draining blood.

  “No, not really.” I told her as I showed her the card I used.

  She quickly read it before handing it bae. “I suppose for you, this much is nothing.”

  We stood there side-by-side watg the fire.

  Rico. I may not have known you well, but I know you deserved better. I hope you get everything you wao do in this life, in your .

  “So Brian, when will we leave the town?” Lua asked me as we were watg the fire. She arently on fire trol. They would usually hold these funeral fires outside, but as Brandon was going to visit it, they held it in the guild’s backyard.

  Brandon had already left, but I decided to stay at the guild for now, with the excuse ‘I’m an adventurer’. I said I’d return to the manor iernoon. Sorry Alice, but you o learn that the world doesn’t revolve around you.

  “Are you in a rush?”

  “No, but I’d rather help the other dhampirs as soon as possible.” Lua said to me. “I have good self trol so I could live like I did, but most ’t. I want them to be able to truly experience life.”

  “I see. Well I still have at least one more thing I o do before I leave. Also, what about your team?”

  “Well I told Alex and Zay I wao leave. And with Zay being the GM and Rico… well.” Lua tried to say it but couldn’t.

  “I uand. You don’t o say it. But what about Alex?” I asked.

  “He said he would go to a bigger town and find a new party to join.” Lua told me.

  “Then perhaps he e with us some of the way.” I told Lua.

  “That would be nice. What about the thing you have?” Lua asked.

  “I just o name Christina as the dungeon master of my dungeon.” I told her.

  “Oh. I guess we never named one.” She ented.

  “I also o do some final preparations for the dungeon before it’s officially opened. I think we could leave after that.” I told Lua.

  “I see. Do you have any pces you want to visit? I’ll make a travel pn.” Lua told me.

  “No, not really. I did promise to visit either the capital’s guild or the main guild office, so one of those two is a must. But other than that, nothing.” I told her.

  “Well there is a dhampir sanctuary close by to both of those pces so we would drop close by anyway.” Lua told me.

  I guess they would be built close to major cities. But not too close.

  “I should head back to the Wat manor. If I’m here for the entire day, Alice will get angry with me.” I told Lua as I got up to leave.

  “Sure. Make sure to drop by the guild again so we improve the pn.” Lua told me as I left.

  I would still make it in time for lunch, but I told Brandon I would have lunch out in town today, so I dropped by Uncle Sam’s burrito stall and picked one up for my lunch.

  That reminded me that I haven’t made a toploader for the Upstart Goblin I got yesterday, so I quickly made one.

  4x Acrobat Monkey, 4x Guardian Elma, 3x Guardian Kay'est, 4x Thousand Needles, 2x Ojama Trio, 2x Arsenal Robber, 3x Dark Scorpion - G the Strong, 2x Agido, Frozen Soul

  With that, I had a money geor. I was thinking of using it straight away, but that might not be a good idea in the middle of a street.

  “Brian!” Alice called angrily when I got back to the manor. “What took you so long?”

  “Sorry. I just spent some time at the guild. That’s something an adventurer does.” I told her, trying to get her off my back.

  “But we were supposed to train together.”

  “Well, I’m here now, so we do it now.” I told her.

  We spent the beginning afternoon practig the no-tact mana loop. Alice said she was figuring it out a little and she didn’t o add as much mana to it as she had to st time. And here I am at the level where I couldn’t do it without Laura.

  Well, I suppose Alice has been practig for years and I’ve been doing it for a week. I ’t learhing immediately. And I already have the cheat code called system support.

  We kept the practice going until we had afternoon tea.
