《I study magic, for destruction?》Chapter 25

“Here, we need this.” Said Lucy, tossing another magical item into the sack that Leah was holding.
“This is quite a bit, is it not?” Leah asked, looking into the void sack.
I held my palm out and Leah dropped the sack into my hand. I looked inside to see almost two dozen magical items of different sizes littered inside. One that caught my eye quickly was a stopwatch that felt would come along just nicely.
“From what you told me, there is a manticore in an undead dungeon correct?”
“Correct.”
“Why would a manticore be in an undead dungeon?” Lucy asked, looking at the confused Leah.
Leah held her hand to her chin and stroked it.
“You’re right, that doesn’t make sense… unless—“
“Unless the Manticore is also undead.” Lucy finished, giving Leah a wink.
“An undead Manticore would make it much more simpler than if it was alive.” I added on.
Leah turned to me and tilted her head.
“What? Why would that make it simpler?” She asked.
“The undead weren't just made from nature. They were infused with large amounts of mana to have them come back to the land of the living. If a Manticore of that size were to be brought back, I don't think any mage would be capable of such feats. It's most likely that the creature is not at full strength and had the same weaknesses as the regular Skeletons." I explained, causing Leah to blink rapidly at me like I just spoke in a foreign language.
“But what does that... Oh, whatever!” Leah yelled, stomping out of the magic shop.
Lucy turned to me and we laughed, lightly slapping my shoulder. She walked to the front, chuckling her way up to the counter. After purchasing the items with Lucy’s gold, we then followed after Leah.

We spent the rest of the day going through every shop on foot. We were supposed to follow Lucy because she knew the city more than us, but Leah ran around like a stray kitten and went into every shop.
We weaved through the ocean of people going to blacksmiths to purchase armor and weapons. More magic shops to learn our specialty spells. A scroll scryer where we purchased summoning and conjuration spells for quick combat.
The undead may have weaknesses, but a Manticore is still strong dead or alive because of its poison.
We visited every shop we possibly could until night finally came and we had to retire to an inn.
We walked through the door of our rented room and Leah flopped onto the bed in exhaustion. I scanned the room and noticed that there was only one bed. And just enough space for one more.
I glanced to my side to see the same sly grin on Lucy’s face. She walked over and laid next to Leah, to her surprise.
“What are you doing?” Leah asked with an innocent voice.
“There’s only room for two beds in here.”
“And so? Go sleep on Leo’s cloud, it’s quite comfy I can vouch.”
Lucy pouted and softened her eyes. Leah buried her head back down to the pillow.
“Fine, whatever. But, stay on your side of the bed.”
“Of course!”
I grew a grin myself before conjuring my cloud and laying on it in my pleasantries.
I swear I must have had the most amazing dream because by the time I woke up, I was standing in the midst of spells being flown through the air in the familiar grey room that was the dungeon.
“Leo! You’re finally awake it seems! Now hurry up and fight!” Yelled Leah to my right.

She was wearing her new violet leather gear that glowed with magic effects while fighting off a giant horde of skeleton.
“So glad you had your beauty nap!” Yelled Lucy to my left, fighting off her own horde.
Dressed in red leather armor with the same glow, it didn’t seem like she was using magic to fight however. She held a long sword between her hands, slashing and thrusting into the skeletons. The hilt was golden with a familiar crest engraved on it that I couldn’t quite put my finger on it.
What in the hell happened?
I outstretched both my arms to the hordes.
“Vine Binding!”
The hordes of skeletons crushed together inside my spell.
“Finally, I can use my spell.” Said Leah, “flame vortex!”
“Heaven’s Slash!” Yelled Lucy.
Leah’s horde charred inside giant flames sent from her palm while Lucy slashed the air several times, sending out the sword attack and slicing through the skeletons.
I looked at both piles on the floor with the girls huffing beside them.
“Umm, well done! I see your form has improved Leah, and I take it that you are in good shape as well Lucy.”
Both girls looked at me and I could feel my heart drop. Still tho, just what in the world happened?

Starlight Antiquities
There is a place in the galaxy that deals in antiquities of all kinds, human and non-human alike. Its inventory of artifacts is colossal as is its inventory of mercs who they hire to acquire any artifact a client may wish that is yet to come into their possession. The ill-reputable business is constantly rubbing against the changing tolerance of the Union's government, and there are many security officers who would love nothing better than to vaporize the whole place with its owners inside. Yet, there are many tasks that nobody can do better, especially in the vastness of deep space where Union law is worth less than the energy needed to display it. One of its jobs involves finding an artifact that may not only hold the future of the human race but may also disturb the balance of the whole galaxy. *** While waiting for the next season of Mandalorian and the Witcher, and rewatching Firefly for the gazillionth of time, I decided to write this space-based series. The series has some litRPG elements in it, but it does not read like one. So, you won't run into any blue screens here. Yet, I wanted to use litRPG to give another dimension to this whole story and make it as unique as possible. This is a work-in-progress. Hope to keep on improving and fixing my mistakes as I go along.

Fueled by revenge, bloodlust and the internal darkness of his soul, watch as morgan struggles in a world where he is now the monster and grows in power by consuming the souls of his victims. Will he become a evil creature of massacre? Is there any shred of his humanity left? Will he ever make it back home? ONLY TIME CAN TELL... Note from author: This story will develop slowly. He isn't some chosen person or special in any ways. Not even very lucky, powerful or smart. Just a regular guy in a world he doesn't understand. The novel will cover his journey, even some of the boring and adventureless parts. I want him to seem real. I will however used time skips for long-winded and stagnant periods followed by summaries of what occurred.
