Death, Devotion, Dissonance Chapter 115

'Since he can't become Helm, I need to focus on obtaining more benefits for Evin…' Leanne decided.
"In that case, I want to discuss the rewards that Evin were due after defeating the Type 12. He was supposed to meet the Type 13 after that to receive its guidance on whatever problem he needs help on."
Meeting the remnant consciousness of Heim Morton was nothing to scoff at. The man was infamous for his breadth of knowledge and incredible way of solving problems. It was even said that king Seth himself occasionally visited it to receive advice.
"Ah, about that… You don't have to worry too much. The kingdom is extremely interested in Evin's future prospects. Even I'm wanting to learn how he's able to shoot metal and stone projectiles with such strong and penetrative force yet so little mana. He definitely needs to be rewarded for his efforts and the kingdom agreed to have Lord Armut Mungiar give a visit to the boy. And of course, Evin would still be able to receive help from the kingdom, if he has anything he wishes to learn about…"
"I've also heard that some High Mages are showing interest in tutoring him privately?" Kent asked.
The rewards were much greater than what Leanne expected. It wasn't a simple matter to have one's lost limbs replaced by a prosthetic in the kingdom. It was especially hard to have one created by the Master Prosthetist himself. Most of it depended on luck, as Lord Mungiar mostly chose his own clients, and most of them exclusively from military background. Nobles and foreigners had to pay tens of thousands of gold to convince the man to do anything for them.
Not only that, to learn under the wings of a High Mage was also something unimaginable to 1st year Academy students. Even normal mages struggled to obtain such privileges. Leanne guessed that the only reason Evin was receiving such attention was because of his highly unique spells. She wouldn't be surprised if some of these High Mages wanted to learn some things from Evin in return.

"Yes, but of course, the kingdom would still require Evin to graduate from the Academy properly. I'm hoping Chairman Kent will do his best to educate the future of the kingdom."
"Yes, of course."
'Of course, Kent won't so easily let go of the key part in his ridiculous plan,' Leanne sighed. 'Well, Evin knows his true colors and he's smart enough to take care of himself, so I don't have to worry about Kent too much.'
"Now that we've settled the problem of Helm and Evin, the main topic of our talk concludes here," Gehenne said and had the group disperse.

Savage Hunters
Giant monsters roam the land Civilization is frozen in a savage age. For the beast slayer Alden, power and survival are one and the same. The ancient evil that once ravaged his village and murdered his ancestors has returned. At the same time, politics hurls Alden and his crew into gladiator pit battles for control of the throne. When Alden takes possession of a cursed sword promising untold power, the hunter is determined to save his people by slaying every giant monster standing between him and the throne. But the angry ghost trapped inside the blade has other ideas. Buckle up for the brutal LitRPG ride of a lifetime Savage Hunters is an alternate-world neolothic fantasy. Characters grow their powers with explicit stat blocks presented right in the text, including levels, attribute scores, and unlockable skill trees. Experience is accumulated by battling enormous monsters the size of buildings. Political intrigue and romance elements ramp up as the series progresses. I originally wrote this story after playing Monster Hunter with my niece. She was 12 at the time, already an avid reader, and wanted to read my other published books. I'm a licensed psychotherapist specializing in severe trauma so I tend toward darker fiction. I told her my usual books are too brutal for her but I'd write her something special. The result was this series, which has been praised by both teens and adults for its depth and universal appeal. It begins with an emphasis on cultural elements because I consulted with a trained anthropologist to craft this neolithic setting down to exacting social detail. After these opening chapters, it rapidly shifts to an action-packed adventure. The first 3 books are fully written as of November 2020, totalling approximately 69 chapters. The first book has been professionally edited already. The following two books require some editing which I'll do on a chapter-by-chapter basis as releases progress. I welcome reviews and comments. Writing is a passion, and reader engagement makes my labor all the sweeter.

[Don't] Fear the Dragon!
Do yourself a favour and, if the chance to become a dragon in a different world ever arrives, reject it as kindly as possible. As for myself? I didn't have much say in the matter. I've wanted one thing, and one thing alone in this life—to be left alone. But these humans are beyond stereotypical.

Not even a village would substitute as a snack. How do they think people taste anyway? Gross! But it doesn't matter if you hide away in your cave, doing nothing. Some hero is bound to find and attempt to slay you anyways. Or weird cultists offering sacrifices at your door. But there was this princess that asked me to kidnap her one time.
