Epic Of The Demonic Sage Chapter 129

Lucius couldn't help but raise his eyes upon hearing the cost. Six thousand gold coins were a rather large amount that even he barely had right now. He was now wondering whether this would be viable or not.
"Hmm, I'd like to see Finch first if you don't mind," Lucius spoke.
He reckoned that seeing her actual condition might help him better and give him a proper idea of what was the actual problem. Lucius definitely had a lot more knowledge than most people in this world.
He thought that he might be able to find a better solution to the problem, which might even be cheaper than the current one. If it really did turn out to be six thousand gold coins, he may need to double think this.
"Sure, Young Lord Asher. You can come with us to see her." Gellor agreed right away.
To him and his companion, Lucius coming to check up on their companion was nothing but assuring them of getting the money for the treatment. Thankfully, what they did not know would not hurt them… for now.
"When do you want to visit her, Lord Asher?" Gellor questioned.
Lucius thought over it and remembered his schedule. There was still a little more than an hour left until his lessons with John. He was originally going to spend this time in reading in the library, but he reckoned it could be used for this.
"Let's go there right away," Lucius answered.
"As you wish, Lord Asher," Gellor replied straight away, feeling content at the responsiveness of Lucius.
Gellor and his companion left the mansion, and Lucius followed behind them on horseback. They soon reached a small hospital that was located about ten minutes away from the mansion's location.
Lucius had seen this hospital many times before, as it was on the main path that led to the mansion.

'Doesn't Healer Delia work here too?' Lucius remembered.
The resident healer of the Inanis family was Healer Delia, while the one who had taken care of Lucius when he was paralyzed was Healer Peron. Healer Peron was called from another town to take care of Lucius and did not work in this city particularly.
The only reason why healer Peron was called instead of Healer Delia was because Healer Delia's gift worked on cuts and open wounds, while Healer Peron's gift worked on internal wounds.
He was also knowledgeable about the internal injuries along with paralysis and thus was the preferred person for the job. Healer Delia usually did not have much work in the Inanis family as there was rarely anyone getting injured, except for the guards.
Thus, the Count had permitted her to work at her clinic and the city hospital. The clinic was even closer to the mansion than the hospital and was often more busy than the hospital itself. People only went to the hospital if they were severely injured and needed long term bedside care.
Lucius and the rest came to a stop at the entrance of the hospital and saw the line of people waiting there.
"We can just go in since we are here to visit," Gellor said.
He took the lead and directly entered through the secondary door and the rest followed him. Lucius did the same and upon entering saw a similar look to the hospital he had seen in the Dowland city.
There was a desk at the front and a male receptionist was sitting there. Though looking at it Lucius could tell that the man was a nurse as well, or perhaps a junior healer. The difference between a nurse and a healer was also uniform in this world.

If a person had a healing type gift and they wanted to enter the field of medicine, they would become a healer. While if a person did not have a healing gift and still wanted to enter the field of medicine, they would become a nurse instead.
"We're here to see Finch," Gellor spoke to the receptionist.
"Oh, it's you guys. You can go ahead them, you should know where she is by now." The receptionist replied.
It was evident that Gellor and the rest had come here enough times that the workers here were now used to seeing them. Gellor simply nodded his head and turned in the direction of the inner wards.
"Please come with me, Young lord Asher." Gellor spoke.
They then walked for a few meters before entering one of the smaller wards to the right. In there, Lucius could see about six beds and a couple of healers working on the patients. There were also a few nurses taking care of the patients.
The entry of several people was quickly noticed by the healers inside and it seemed like they recognized Gellor and his companions too.
"Young Lord Asher?" An Old Woman's voice spoke.
"Greetings, Healer Delia." Lucius spoke.
"Why have you come here? Are you sick?" Delia instantly went into concerned mode.
She was the resident healer of the Inanis family and thus needed to care for them first. If she was called in the middle of treating someone else, she would probably leave right away as well. Thus she wondered why Lucius himself had come here, when he could have simply called for her.
"Oh, I'm fine myself. Actually, I'm here to see someone else." Lucius replied.
"You are, who?" Delia asked, but then her gaze went to Gellor and his companions. "Is it Finch?" She guessed.
"Indeed, healer Delia." Lucius replied.
Delia furrowed her brows but did not question him. She simply moved the curtains of the bed to her right and revealed the person who was lying in there.
It was a woman who seemed to be in her mid twenties and Lucius recognized her to be none other than Finch. But her current condition was indeed quite bad, as Gellor had stated. There were bandages all over her body that were red with blood, and burns could also be seen on her limbs.

Anti-Hero: Journey of Fear
There is a story where the hero makes friends, completes quests, and saves the world. This is NOT that story. In the VR world of Fate: Experience Acute Realism, the main character cuts his way through both the players and NPCs alike. This story takes a close look at how a true full immersion VR would be played. The setting is an open VR world where the players struggle to survive with a lack of knowledge and the NPCs panic in regards to the Travelers invading their world. The anti-hero of this story is cold and calculating. Sparing no one from his reign of terror he gives into occasional bouts of kindness before he is forced back on the path of blood and tears. For where there is a hero who seeks to bring people together to help the world move forward, there is an anti-hero who brings people together to seize the world for himself. WARNING: This story contains extreme violence, in every single chapter. This story contains references to sex, but no explicit scenes. This story has light to mild swearing. My chapters normally range from 4,000 to 5,000 words. This story does not contain happy endings, middles, or even beginnings.

Don't Come Inside, Okay?
Lars Cromwell just got dumped by his girlfriend of 3 months, apparently because she found someone better. Although the normal man would have been bummed out by this, Lars didn't particularly mind. Because Lars just won the lottery, which meant he was about a billion dollars richer now. And he had one less person to share it with! Even if he was single, at least he was filthy stinking rich! In any case, this is Lars' story. A story that begins just like how many others do. With his death. Join Lars as he reincarnates into another world as his Avatar together with his favorite game's Dungeon and it's NPCs! = This Work is on an indefinite Hiatus. I do not know when I'll get back to this, but I plan to rewrite a bunch of stuff when I do. If you liked this, keep following it so that I can inform you of when I improve this! = Hello, I'm Lire, and this is my 2nd fiction. I recently got into the whole dungeon thing, and thought that I wanted to write one of my own! Chapter Length: 2000+ Words. It can only be more, never less. Chapter Release Schedule: Whenever I can write. I am juggling this with my main Fiction, so yeah... Disclaimer: - Don't expect much statistical growth from the MC. Although I plan for him to refine his techniques and increase his repertoire. - You can guess from the name, but there will not be too much action in the dungeon itself. Plus, the dungeon has been fully built, so not too many things will be added either. The whole idea is to kill potential intruders before they enter the Dungeon. - This will be more like a Kingdom building story, than a Dungeon Building one. MC will try to dominate his surroundings so that he can keep his Dungeon safe. - There will be Slice of life elements, since realistically speaking, events aren't supposed to happen all the time. - This work is inspired, to a certain extent, by Murayama-sama's Overlord Light novel. Minus the 'emotionless' undead MC, and the premise of misunderstandings. The NPCs will also be aware that they were characters in a game, that came to life for some reason, so no need for MC to role-play to pull the wool over the eyes of his own allies. Also, unlike Overlord, there is a chance for the cast of characters to increase through a built-in gacha system(This is not a spoiler, this will literally be explained in the first few chapters.), except that the rates are absolutely abysmal, so it won't happen frequently. Maybe I'll use a poll to decide the next ally? We'll see.

Gods of the mountain
Saia has started a new life after leaving her native village and its abusive goddess. Now she spends her time fishing sea snakes and trying to forget her mistakes, but this peaceful existence is derailed when the earth trembles for the first time in centuries. Koidan, the god who is supposed to protect her new village from every danger, asks for her help to survive, shattering the illusions Saia has believed in for her entire life: the nine gods are not immortal after all, and the mountain towering on the nine villages isn't as sacred and untouchable as she thought. In exchange for answers about the gods and lessons of magic, Saia pledges to save Koidan, pursuing at the same time a secret, more pressing goal: taking revenge on the goddess that oppresses her village and getting her old life back.
