Chapter 1917: Time For Some Medicine
Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales
Mordenai was a dragon, so this was to be expected, but they didn’t think it would be him posting a quest to save his mother .
Now that the family was back together, Lu Li and Water Fairy received quite a bit of Reputation . At the same time, they had also unlocked the Nether Drake daily quests . These quests could be completed each day for a Reputation reward . After completing them for a few days, they could earn enough to buy a Nether Drake .
All they had to do was start with today’s quests .
The starting point was still Mordenai, who would give the players a new identity .
“Netherwing Ledge… that was once a refuge for the Netherwing but it has been ravaged by the Dragonmaw clan . Although the Orcs have occupied our territory, they cannot weaken the Dragon’s powerful magic . With this magic, I can conceal your truth identify and help you safely join the Dragonmaw Clan . I have prepared a letter for Overlord Mor’ghor and will fly you to the Dragonmaw camp . Then, you will start a new life as one of Illidan’s Stormrage’s Fel Orcs . ”
And so, both Lu Li and Water Fairy became two Fel Orcs .
The style was quite different and not the most attractive . If Water Fairy was an ordinary girl, she definitely would have refused such a transformation . After all, it was so ugly and she was in the presence of her beloved .
However, Water Fairy wasn’t afraid . Even if she was ugly for the moment, everything would be alright if they could return to their original forms .
The two newly created Fel Orcs went to Netherwing Ledge and their mounts were automatically transformed into Dragonmaw Nether Drakes . Their undercover adventure was about to begin . For a while, the players would have to do manual labour for their Dragonmaw overlords .

Lu Li and Water Fairy eventually found Overlord Mor’ghor and gave him Illidan’s service
Overlord Mor’ghor was a red-skinned Fel Orc who wore plate armour and wielded an axe . He read the service papers before throwing them aside before saying, “Alright, the most important part of being in the Dragonmaw Legion is that everyone has to work . There are no exceptions . Go find something to do, and don’t mess it up . I will decide, based on your performance, whether to send you off to do something else . Talk to Taskmaster Varkule Dragonbreath in the centre of the Dragonmaw camp and he will give you a task to do based on your skills . Now leave!”
The two new Fel Orcs now had to make their way to Taskmaster Varkule Dragonbreath .
“Dammit, everyone I get is useless . ”
Varkule Dragonbreath was clearly dissatisfied with Lu Li and Water Fairy . He growled angrily at them, “What are you good at?”
Lu Li and Water Fairy looked at each other before shaking their heads .
How would they know what these Fel Orcs were good at? They also didn’t know what kind of weird tasks they would get if they pretended to have certain skills . It was best to plead ignorance as they probably didn’t gain anything from doing these monsters’ quests anyway .
“Are you good at nothing? Alright then, we have a use of idiots too . We can’t let you just enjoy your blissful life . Go hunt some of Netherwing Ledge’s creatures and collect some Netherwing Crystals for me . We’ll make that your quest for the day . Now get out!”
Lu Li decided that he would one day come back and kill this NPC .
There was no difficulty in killing the creatures . Even though they had to pretend to be Fel Orcs, the monsters they fought were quite ordinary .

After giving 40 Netherwing Crystals to Taskmaster Varkule Dragonbreath and completing their first quest, they continued to pester him about getting more tasks .
“Hmph, looks like you did well . You should do some skinning . As a member of the Dragonmaw Clan, even idiots like you need to learn some skinning . There are many skinning experts here . Hunt some of the Quarrypounders and bring me their skins you idiots . ”
They had to kill some people and take their skins!
Fortunately, this was a game and there was some censorship . These Quarrypounders didn’t appear Human . After you killed them, all you had to do was use the Skinning skill with a knife and you could harvest the skins .
The skinned Quarrypounder would then immediately disappear . It wouldn’t leave a skinless corpse behind .
After delivering the skins of 35 Quarrypounders, they completed the quest to earn their Reputation rewards . These quests were done daily . There were other smaller quests, but they weren’t worth doing .
They eventually ran into a Netherwing Egg, which was quite interesting .
At this time, after the completion of several quests, Taskmaster Varkule Dragonbreath’s attitude had become much more friendly .
He was discussing this matter with them in a friendly tone .
“If you find Netherwing Eggs on the island, bring them all to me . Netherwing Eggs are extremely rare, so don’t feel frustrated if you don’t find any . Most of these eggs have been moved to unknown locations . There are some creatures that carry them, but they can also be found near clusters of crystals in mines or in some special shrubbery . Just make sure to keep a low profile, and don’t get Mor’ghol’s attention .
This quest was special because it could be done as many times as they liked as long as they could keep finding the Netherwing Eggs, unlike the other quests which could only be completed once a day .
There was another quest that needed to be triggered . Lu Li and Water Fairy met another ‘undercover’ person while collecting Netherwing Eggs .
The undercover person gave them a quest that would cut down the Dragonmaw Orc’s strength .
“The Dragonmaw Orcs have set up labour camps near almost every crystal cluster . Just killing the Orcs is bound to cause trouble, but there is a trick that can help use reduce their numbers without getting Mor’ghol’s attention . ”
Lu Li and Water Fairy were asked to hunt down infected wild animals in the Moon Shadow Valley and remove their Fel glands . These Fel glands were mixed into some food and placed near the labour camps . The Orcs would fall as soon as they took a bite of the food .
Lu Li secretly put some food near the Taskmaster in an attempt to poison the person that had previously called him a fool .
Unfortunately, it was taken away by Water Fairy as they needed the Taskmaster to complete their quests .
However, there were quite a few ordinary Dragonmaw Orcs that were poisoned . They also received quite a bit of Reputation for each Orc poisoned, to their surprised .
“Come here, it’s time for some medicine,” Water Fairy said as she handed over a piece of poisoned meat .
“What!” Lu Li almost choked on the bread in his mouth .
Water Fairy then smiled happily .
After being with Lu Li, the once distant Goddess had now become more in touch with common people . Even Lu Li had to admit that Water Fairy had become more like him .
As long as they were happy together, perhaps it didn’t matter who was leading who astray .

Mother of Learning
Zorian is a teenage mage of humble birth and slightly above-average skill, attending his third year of education at Cyoria's magical academy. He is a driven and irritable young man, consumed by a desire to ensure his own future and free himself of the influence of his family, whom he resents for favoring his brothers over him. Consequently, he has no time for pointless distractions or paying attention to other people's problems. As it happens, time is something he is about to get plenty of. On the eve of the Cyoria's annual summer festival, he is killed and brought back to the beginning of the month, just before he was about to take a train to Cyoria. Suddenly trapped in a time loop with no clear end or exit, Zorian will have to look both within and without to unravel the mystery before him. And he does have to unravel it, for the time loop hadn't been made for his sake and dangers lurk everywhere... Repetition is the mother of learning, but Zorian will have to first make sure he survives to try again - in a world of magic, even a time traveler isn't safe from those who wish him ill. ********************************** If anyone is interested, I have a story-related worldbuilding site that can be found here. I don't update it as often as I should, but there is a fair amount of content there already. It also contains a page with all the fanart, fan translations, audio books and the like - you can reach it directly by clicking this link. I have a patreon account for those kind people that want to give me money. It also contains info for those who want to donate via paypal. The story was originally posted on fictionpress, back in 2011. When I reached chapter 91, I started uploading the story to RoyalRoad, one chapter per day. The story will continue to be updated on fictionpress as well as here, and can be reached by clicking on this link if somebody is interested, though at this point there is nothing there that isn't also on RoyalRoad. ********************************** The cover you see on the side has been made by a fellow RoyalRoad user Sydorow. Thank you for your time and art skills.

444. (Completed)
"Montana, come here." He nodded his head toward the door, leaving out of the room. Staying silent as Ms. Carol looked at me, I kissed the back of Josiah's hand before leaving out of the room. As I walked out, Messiah stood there looking at me in disgust while I closed the door. "What are you doing that shit for?" "Huh?" I said since I had nothing else to say, just trying to stall time to get my words together."Why are you stripping, Monty?"Sighing, I decided that I wasn't going to lie like I'd originally planned to do after listening to Chocolate's stupid advice. "Money." I spoke simply and he scoffed as I looked down."Why not just ask Josiah for money instead doing hoe shit?" "First of all, It's not doing hoe shit. I don't have sex with anyone. I just dance. And I don't want to ask him for any money. It's not his job to take care of me.""So stripping..." He trailed off with a laugh."..stripping was the last resort? Instead of putting your pride aside?" Saying nothing, I just looked at him with pleading eyes."Please don't tell him, Messiah." I could already tell by the look on his face that he was going to tell him."I ain't gon' tell him.." Thank God. I thought. "..you are." "What?!" I shrieked. "No. I'm not.""You are." He spoke in a demanding tone."Please. You know how he is." I expressed"And you know how he is too but you made that bed." "Messiah, he's going to kill me." I begged."I know." He shook his head, walking away from me."Better figure it out. You got until the end of the day to tell him or I will." He mumbled before walking back into the room.
