Master Of None Chapter 272
Advertisement
Alice was a mix of happy and unhappy to see Walker here. She knew that he could help healing the injured but she was unhappy that he came to check on her. There were more important things to be doing. Walker grabbed her and made sure he had her full attention. "I have a skill to help you heal everyone. We will do it together. I have already sent someone to let the high priest know. As soon as he sets the order I will be right here with you."
Hearing this Alice reaffirmed her mind to use all the mana possible to heal everyone. She had practiced her songs for years and this was the moment all of it would be tested. She saw more and more of the usual healing musicians entering through the front and side doors. She knew that they could be ready at the drop of a hat due to their constant training.
The high priest had sent out his own notifications through the system to bring as many of those capable of healing from the lower tier churches and even the castle back to the cathedral. The number of nuns and healers would keep increasing as time went on until the church was at full force. These times was why the people would donate their hard earned gold. The castle would spend resources to help them grow the promising youths with healing abilities as well, it was this moment that their investments would prove worth it.
A large group of healing musicians entered in to the cathedral lead by the high priest himself. His orders were obvious even from this distance. The healing musicians ran to the healing light crystal. One holding a fiddle stepped up, "Miss Alice, Sir Walker it is time to start the concert." The man did not hesitate but instead took the leading position to start the music.
The single slow note of his fiddle rang out causing the air to stir, he drew his bow so slowly that it felt time was slowing down as well. Walker saw that everything around him had begun to move in slow motion. Other musicians started to pick up the note bringing it to a large reverberating tone. The moment the fiddle player's bow stopped the real song began.
The notes danced in their ears starting to drown out the yells and chaos in the entire cathedral. However the crying and shouts of pain were still breaking through interrupting the flow of healing magic that had just started. " Alice, watch what I can do now." Walker smiled at her and brought himself to stand next to the fiddle player. He raised his hand and used his newly acquired calming waves skill.

The mana drained out of Walker immediately sending out a white wave of light from his hand. The calming aura enveloped everyone within the cathedral and even spread a few streets down from it. This skill was most certainly a high class skill. There was no denying the instant effects throughout the entire cathedral. The musical notes being created became more crisp and clear. The healing light crystal generated more healing light. The screams and cries of pain instantly started to slow until there were barely any grunts or unrest. The healers and nuns seemed to have sped up and were working with a more focused efficient mannerism.
Alice saw this as her chance to begin her song. She started slow and soft, her voice piercing the air and reaching every ear. This was much stronger than it had ever been before. Despite her seriousness her own stress was melting away giving way to an easily flowing melody. The entire atmosphere began to shift as the light itself started to bend in to rainbow sparrows. These rainbow sparrows flew person to person letting themselves become absorbed in to those with injuries. The complexions of those seriously injured started to become more full of life and any with minor injuries visibly saw them healing at an incredible rate.
Walker could feel the first healing wave start to dissipate and cast it again. The wave of light from his hand brought a massive amount of calming aura to everyone. The strength of Alice and the musicians again increased. Walker was also affected by the first healing wave and had the second one boosted.
The high priest could not resist the call to heal others while all these skills were in place. To make the most of the situation he used his healing wave skill causing green rings to spread from him. Those that were being brought in to the cathedral quickly encountered this immense healing mana. Many were able to instantly move and find a place to rest without assistance. Walker noticed out of the corner of his eyes that Remey and Gil were making multiple trips inside and out. The trips were much faster over the course of the concert.
Su had come inside at some point as well and was making the best use of her energy to move bandaged to any healer that was in need. She used her strength to carry large buckets of water to help clean wounds. She did not shy away from a single person in needed and managed to find exactly what was needed.

Midnight and Onyx were making themselves useful as well. Onyx had surprisingly been surrounded by children who were terrified of what had happened but enamored in Onyx. He would slither up tall and make all of them giggle during the performance. Walker could see that Onyx had some hidden talents when it came to children, it was not only Maria who had taken a liking to Him.
Midnight looked to have paired up with two guards and was using her strength to help carry some of the largest men that had been injured. With every trip into the cathedral she seemed to stand taller and her eyes shined brighter. Not a single person showed fear when she approached, instead they would reach out to her as she passed to pat her scales. She had become a pillar of strength that would protect them. A monster that could breath fire that was currently rescuing them from fire. This strange happening would forever be recorded in to the kingdom's history.
Walker used the calming waves skill many times while the concert went on. The musicians with lesser mana began to drop their instruments and fall from their chairs. Soon the fiddle player was slumped against the pillar holding the healing light crystal, The only two left were Walker and Alice.
Her voice became soft and her eyes drooped. Walker could feel the weight of his body as well. The lack of sleep and the lack of mana both hitting him at once. He used the last of his energy to reach out and catch the falling Alice. "I'll be damned if I let you fall." Alice heard his words and smiled as her mind faded to darkness. Walker let himself and Alice down as softly as he could but he too was losing consciousness. It was up to the rest of the party and the remaining healers.
Walker's eyes shot open as he felt warmth coming from his chest. He could feel a liquid in his mouth bringing him energy. He gulped it down realizing that someone was holding a potion to his lips. His mana was starting to recover. The old man was looking at him with a hard expression on his face. "Nice job kid, you really outdid yourself. But they need you awake now."
Walker finished the mana potion and forced his achy body up. There was no rest to be had yet, there was still a lot to do. The healers were still on the move but the atmosphere was much more controlled than it had been. "How long-"
"Two hours. I was too busy with the seriously injured. I had some of my mana and health potions sent from my vault. Now that I have managed to get caught up I used one on you and your girlfriend here."
Walker wanted to refute him but seeing that Alice was looking around worried her had nothing to say but for one thing. "Alice, can you sing a short song?" Alice did not hesitate to nod. They both had about a third of their mana recovered and could not justify stopping to continue their rest.
Without another word Alice started to sing. Her words again resonated through the cathedral while Walker sent out more calming waves. They continued on until they both were about to pass out again.
The high priest had come up behind them while they did this and stopped them just before their mana ran out. "You two have done great. But we need to help the exhausted get to a place to rest." The high priest had dark circles under his eyes. This was taking a toll on him, however with the end in sight he pushed himself to his limit and issued more orders to those that could move. The healers and nuns that were near their end needed to rest.

The Doormat Villainess – Adrianne
A villainess is a character who has always been diametrically opposed to the heroine of a romance drama. What makes a person a good villainess? The fact that she's unabashedly beautiful and charismatic, yet also rotten inside? The fact that she's incredibly loathsome, greedy, and selfish? That she's reasonably strong enough to be a hurdle, yet ultimately powerless in the face of a determined heroine? That despite all these character flaws, a Villainess's greatest virtue is unwilling to give up until the last of their breath, in pursuit of her personal desire? If those are the hallmark of a successful Villainess. Then, I might be the wrong person to play that role. Also on Scribblehub (Profile)

Slime of Gluttony
_____ ___, a completely and utterly deplorable person. Lazy, apathetic, and unmotivated. He spends his time as a shut-in, wasting his life away doing nothing of importance. This is the life of the man, a life of no importance. At the impulse of desiring food, he left his small and cramped apartment. Regretting his actions immediately, he was left with the prospect of a complete panic attack due to the numerous amount of people outside at that day. However, he pressed on, determined to find some sort of delicious food to consume. Life had other plans for him. He gets hit by a car, and after hearing strange words from an even stranger voice, he dies. However, minutes, hours, maybe even days later, he awakes, his senses of smell, sight, and hearing robbed of him. Author's Note: This is my first story on Royal Road, so it might not be the best. Although, I hope you enjoy! I'll probably write around 2000 words or more per chapter, but on average a bit more. If you're wondering, the cover art is drawn by me, just in case you thought I wasn't giving credit to the creator.This story might often times lean more into the comedy side of things, but stuff can still get pretty serious at times, especially in the later chapters. The story isn't super dark or anything, but character death is of course going to be a thing. Who? Well, you'll find out, eventually. Also, I'll upload chapters on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. I hope you enjoy reading this little hobby of mine!

World Revisit
Having no collection of her past, a confused young girl ends up in world unknown to her. A world with the nature as their source of life and magic, but at the same time also the cause of their despair and sorrow. The world seems to be facing a dangerous calamity. Being treated as an intruder, she will have to gain the trust of the people around her and find a way to live through this mess. With not much hope left, what can be done to prevent it? Nobody knows for sure, but a battle of life and death is bound to come. NOTE: Consider this story as the first version. I want to keep working on it so that the story can actually finish at one point for future development. I want to eventually make it a webtoon comic, but the story still needs to be written and the art still needs be improved. So I'll keep writing for now, but expect the final result to be much better than the story now. Until then, I hope we can have a great time together with this writing experiment. Thanks!
