"I'm completely bankrupt now. Unless I pay off all my previous debts, I won't be allowed to have more than three silver coins on me."
"The current situation isn't important. What's important is that I want to know if you deny it?"
"If I can't pay it back at all, then what's the point of getting certified?"
"You must have something more important than money, right?"
The short conversation made Morton understand what Lei Luo meant.
The conversation let Morton know that Lei Luo was a shrewd debt collector.
But that was not all he wanted to know.
As a businessman, Morton had a pair of eyes that could see through human nature.
These eyes were the most important in Morton's business career.
They were also one of the proudest family treasures.
The instinct of a top businessman was different.
Every time Morton met a person, he would get used to having a price for the person in front of him.
However, now, Morton looked at Lei Luo in silence.
In his heart, he was already secretly setting a price for this young man.
In the past, every time Morton talked to a person for more than a minute, even after brief eye contact, he could get a general understanding of the character of the person in front of him.
He had a general understanding of his mind.
It was like the luster of a sword.
It was like a sharp blade.
When humans communicate with the outside world, they would always unconsciously release their own light and temperament.
And this light and temperament was the key to determining his pricing.
Morton and Lei Luo looked at each other for a full five seconds. However, after passing through the layers of disguises that covered the surface, behind him, he actually saw a cloud of fog.
"How old are you?"
Morton's question was suddenly inexplicable.
But Lei Luo still answered, "Eighteen years old."

"Eighteen?"
Morton's eyebrows slightly rose.
His face also showed a surprised look.
After a while, he smiled faintly and shook his head.
He sighed again.
"As expected of that person's student."
The corners of Morton's mouth lifted slightly.
Just as he was about to say a few words pretending to be an expert, his eyes suddenly jerked.
His tone suddenly changed.
His entire expression suddenly froze.
Lei Luo turned his head and saw Arthur's expression freeze as well.
At the same time, the pain was clearly magnified.
As Lei Luo turned around, he looked behind him.
A tall woman pushed the door open and walked in.
The woman was very tall and had short black hair.
She was dressed in finely cut clothes, but she could not conceal the greatness of her chest, which revealed a snow-white color.
She also had snow-white slender legs and translucent water-blue high heels.
There was no smile on her expressionless face.
However, she also didn't look sad.
She seemed light, but she didn't seem cold.
It was as if she was rejecting you straight to your face.
You will not feel her focus on you, but you will be able to feel her watching you from behind.
And even if there was no one behind you, you would also feel that she was floating with the air behind you.
Arthur licked his lips and suddenly said, "It's a soldier."
"How do you know?" Morton asked.
"Only female soldiers have such bouncy breasts."
Arthur's expression when he answered was extremely serious.
Arthur nodded his head heavily in agreement.
The woman turned a blind eye to the three people in the shop.
She walked to a table by the window and sat down with her back facing the three people.
Through the floor-to-ceiling glass window, she looked at the huge statue in the center of the square.
"Give me a glass of 'original.' " She spoke with a cold voice.

Morton put down the drink in his hand.
He skillfully mixed a glass of sky-blue blended wine and sent it over.
Lei Luo looked at Morton's wretched back and muttered, "So? Why is there such a strange wine?"
"'It's because of the sign of this place. The square in front is called the original square."
Arthur tilted his head and said to Lei Luo in a dominant tone, as if he was showing off.
Lei Luo looked at Morton bending over and putting him on the table and casually asked, "Why is it called that?"
"Uh...this..." Arthur was momentarily at a loss for words.
"I've heard others call me that since I was young. As for why, I really don't know."
At this moment, Morton, who had returned to the bar counter after delivering the wine, said, "More than ten years ago, one of the dukes of the second province, the border between the East God Alliance and the Dark Dragon Alliance, controlled this area. Due to the restriction of both parties, this place became a vacuum of power. There were many different forces here. At that time, this place was still a desolate place, belonging to the territory of the city that held Lord Feng Shen's forces. Later on, magic crystal mines were discovered here, and they were of the highest purity. For a time, this place became the focus of attention of all the forces. Although City Lord Feng Shen was also an overlord at that time, he owned more than ten cities. However, not to mention behemoths like the East God Alliance and the Dark Dragon Alliance, there were dozens of them around him, and they were on par with his faction. At the same time, he was unable to refine equipment that could activate magic crystal stones. Although he had a treasure mountain to recruit evil dragons, he was unable to turn it into a sharp weapon against evil dragons. Therefore, after much thought, he finally decided to give this city to his daughter as a dowry, and then contact the East God Dragon for marriage. It was also a good shade under the big tree. The East God Alliance also wanted to enter the second province, so both of them hit it off. But because the dowry of City Lord Feng Shen was too expensive, the East God Alliance let Feng Shen choose the woman he liked. In fact, Feng Shen's daughter Feng Xin had already fallen in love with the core members of East Death long ago. James was also alone at that time, so the East God Alliance tried their best to facilitate this marriage. Speaking of which, this knight James was also a genius swordsman. He was an extraordinary hero. However, although he was single at that time, he seemed to have an ambiguous relationship with one of the daughters of the feudal lords. I don't know if it was because of his lust for beauty or the city, or to protect the interests of the East God Alliance. In short, this marriage was completed."
Bang!
The three of them were shocked.
They looked in the direction of the sound.
It turned out that the woman had finished the wine in her glass and smashed the glass heavily on the table.
"Boss, another glass."
Morton was busy again.
After returning, he picked up the original glass of red wine and drank it.
"Keep talking!"
Seeing that Morton had no intention to continue, Arthur hurriedly asked.
"Ah? Aren't you here to collect?"
Morton glanced at the envelope and emblem on the table.
Then he continued, "Where was I?"
"No rush. We can talk about that slowly."
Lei Luo was also interested in this event from the past.

Blightbane
Miscellaneous Notes: - I want to see about making a crude map of Shroud to help readers. - I also want to get back to writing Coalescence updates. Schedule Notes: - None for now, updates when I can. [ Thank you for your patience and support as I improve my writing and storytelling abilities. I'm also using this story to better develop lore that extends far beyond it. ] Thanks to another exceptionally talented artist, Hiroeth, Blightbane now has an official cover! Vera was alone again. “You’re completely unprepared. Never before has sending one of you off made me feel quite so guilty.” Whenever she found herself in doubt, she would weigh her actions against the guiding principles of the one whom she revered. “When you don’t know the rules of the game, start making them up. When you are constrained by unfavorable conditions, inject a little chaos.” It was the supplementary message that concerned Vera the most. It was difficult to follow because it was intentionally vague and mired in subjectivity. “How can I enjoy myself when you look so tormented? Are we in danger?” Vera fell silent. An experiment is taking place on a planetary scale. Across the surface of the planet, a phenomenon referred to as "Blight" is spreading. Festering regions defended by fierce creatures called “blightbeasts” taint the surface, warping the land and proliferating unceasingly. Among the sentient creatures of the planet, it is the Blightbane Guild’s responsibility to stem the tide. They endeavor to cleanse the land in a struggle of attrition, but they are losing ground. A young man named Caim has been uprooted from his former life and transported to The Shrouded Theocracy, an isolationist nation with fanatical policies. He must struggle to survive with only an unfamiliar strain of magic to aid him. There is a secret to this magic. One he knows very little about. He intends to explore just what makes this magic special. On the far border of the theocracy, a mage scientist named Inis discovers a revolutionary new way to infuse strength from defeated blightbeasts. Using herself as a test subject, this process allows her to grasp magical concepts previously thought beyond her reach. Though she tries to document any side effects that arise, something escapes her awareness. She is playing with a dangerous force that will claim her most treasured asset if she isn't careful. Everyone and everything on the planet is a part of the experiment. The experiment is a lie.

Wet world wonderland.
A young girl of 16 years dies by drowning, and is reincarnated as a living Puddle of Water.Through many fantastical fun filled and wacky adventures our Protagonist will lead a better life than her last.Thank you for your time. Something I want to add, is that this story is written in first person, and I plan to carry on with it for a LONG time.-(Maybe thousands of chapters in size, until the story literally runs out of any potential to keep going.) So yes, there's still a lot of mystery and build up I have planned for future adventures. Wet World Wonderland is a story primarily concerned with the depth and complexity of its world and characters. So forgive me if something seems off, or isn't made immediately clear. I would love to talk, but try and consider that I might have something planned.(Not that you can't still criticize, of course. If you've got an opinion on something, I'd love to hear it.) If you plan on rating WWW, please read until chapter 20. WWW isn't the kind of story you can start judging from the first five chapters. Although, I admit I'm not so sure if 20 chapters in is good enough to judge it either, but I would still advise reading to at least that point. Also, if you have a problem with something in the story, please PM me, and I would love to talk about it. As of 1/19/2021 I have just added WWW's (Wet World Wonderland's) New Cover-Art. I know it's a bit weird, and probably sudden. And with all things considered, it may never make sense. But canonically with lore and info that has, or will be revealed in coming chapters, you might be able to put something together. Anyways, I hope you like it. Also, new symbol, at the top left of the image, hope you all like that too.As of 5/16/2022 the revised cover art for WWW has been uploaded, same as before with the first cover art. I hope you like it. Cover Art Credit goes to Itreallyisyaboi. They're on Instragram.

Rotten Magic (Runic Expansion Book 1)
Nearly three hundred years ago, the wonderful city of Sogara-dai fell. Their immediate wealth crumbled as they suffered for their ignorance and cruelty, becoming cursed to be Flesh Hoarders--ones who must live by eating the flesh and magic of another individual. Once they were rejected by their brother and sister cities of their country of Vaikoln, they were excluded from the rest, hidden in the void--never to interact with the world again. Suddenly, they show in the progressing city of Yulin-dai to remind the world that they will never be forgotten. Elanya Shunra wants nothing more than to enjoy her summer studying her rare Moon Magic and leaving all the other students in the dust. When she and her best friends get trapped in a burning airport in the progressing city of Yulin-dai, after hoping to spend a productive week in the capital, Zalatine, she realizes that the exciting and relaxing summer is not turning into the thing that she envisioned, nor one that she wanted to experience herself. Rigesh Altren left his stint in the military to find solace in Yulin-dai instead of returning home to his family in the countryside. As a Rune Specialist, he has all that he could ask for, but that doesn't deter him from perfecting his illegal elemental pistols to improve his magic. Working at the Airport and dealing with his previous lover was the least of his worries after finding the badly, half-eaten corpses of his coworkers in the breakroom. It seems this was more than what he bargained for.

Delicate as Glass
[participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] Nuri, an [Assistant Glassworker], only has a single Skill. It’s really not fair. He’s worked in the hot shop his entire life, following in his father’s footsteps after his parents passed away, but he’s stuck. Despite possessing above-average talent as an artisan, he still hasn’t shed his [Assistant] status, gained a second Skill, or even leveled enough to reach the first Threshold. Besides, he’s bored; most days he daydreams of adventure and becoming a hero, or pines for the renown that’s sure to be his if he evolves his Class into a [Master Glass Smith], but nothing ever changes—until suddenly, fate strikes, and nothing is ever the same again. These days, Nuri sees more magic, prestige, and adventure than he can handle as he gets swept up in realm-shaking conspiracies and desperate fights for his life. Maybe a boring life wasn’t so bad after all. Disclaimers: 1) Names were mostly chosen through random generators and aren’t necessarily final. If they seem derivative or boring, blame RNG. 2) Skills, Classes, levels, and the entire system is currently a work in progress; please be kind if it’s not very well fleshed out yet. 3) This is the first full-length novel I've set out to write without a single plot point ready. I had nothing in mind other than a recent visit to a hot shop. Molten glass is pretty awesome. 4) Related, I know much less about glass than I’d like. I did some research, but mistakes are bound to happen. If you have a correction, thanks! Please be polite about it. 5) The prose is my experimental attempt at first-person, present tense. I realize it may not be everyone’s preference, but I hope you’ll give it a try anyway!
