《The Legend of the North》chapter 30
Advertisement
The day was ending and drops of sweat fell down Ezer's nose, he couldn't find the truth of the mural, but he was sure there was something he couldn't understand.
Every time he repeated the steps, they triggered the headaches, the images and memories of the past. At times he thought he saw the woman smiling at him in the distance or two men standing next to him whispering their hatred.
The next morning, he imitates the mural that has the woman engraved defending herself from the wind. Without a sword, Ezer picks up a stick and begins practicing the moves. In doing so, he notes the similarity between the steps in the first mural, adding the movements of the arms in the second.
“What would the exalted elves think when they saw someone copying their movements with a simple stick.” Ezer smiles to himself and continues practicing the movements.
By nightfall, Ezer is completely exhausted and decides to sleep on the spot looking at the paintings until the dreams comes to him. The sky is starry and the weather is warm so you don't need to light a fire.
The next morning, he imitates the movements of the third and last painting, at one point it seems that the wind around him is flowing differently, but the sensation does not last long and is followed by a headache so severe that it paralyzes his movements and leaves him on the ground for a few minutes.
"No matter how hard I try... I get nothing." He sits on the floor.
"If it weren't for these pains... if it weren't for that woman... if it weren't for those two men! If it wasn't...!” Ezer hits the ground with every sentence.
Inside he considers giving up, but notices something that was before his eyes all along.

“The water in the pond doesn't move… not even because of the wind, it seems static in time.” Ezer walks over and sees his reflection in the water.
The face of a child who shows clear signs of maturity is reflected, his eyes are darker, and the depth of his gaze has completely changed from the past due to everything he had to live with until now. At that moment he remembers Rel's words.
"When you understand the reason for that woman's smile... the pain will go away and you will be able to use magic. That's what he told me, what he believed.”
Ezer takes a deep breath and removes all his clothes before entering the pond. The water comes up to his navel when sits cross-legged. The temperature of the water was neither cold nor hot, it seemed as if it had no temperature at all or even existed.
With Ezer in the middle, the surface of the water begins to move pushed by a sudden wind that focuses on his body.
At that moment, Ezer's world changes, never to return to the way it was before.

The Perks of Immortality
This story will no longer be updated. After living decades and dying hundreds of times, Kegan has learned that he has finally passed some test that the cruel spirit had given him. Now, Kegan has the ability to gain “perks” that can make his life much easier. He is looking forward to finally having an easy life with the new perks he has earned. Rules to keep me honest for the perk system: Spoiler: Spoiler 1. The purpose of perks is to help the MC live longer and do new things each life. 2. The perks can be unlocked by getting hurt or killed. 3. The perks can be unlocked by putting in a lot of effort that isn’t easily duplicated in a new life. 4. Perks are generally beneficial enhancements to the MC’s body. 5. Perk costs can be lowered with more impressive achievements to unlock them. 6. Perk costs can be lowered by repeated death or injury from something the perk protects against. 7. Perk costs are increased for quality of life improvements that don’t benefit survival. I want to avoid one of the pitfalls I see for other LitRPG stories where the game elements barely relate to the story, or offer very little information. If people are skipping over and not reading the perks then I'm doing things wrong. So I promise to try and make the perks interesting, sometimes humorous, informative, and relevant to the story.Cover art by http://dertypaws.com/

The kingdom has prospered greatly in the time since, advancing both in the magical arts and the more mundane technology.

Master Garner, a wizard in the scarcely populated far West of the Realm, feels the situation getting out of hand, and a violent purge forces him out of his beloved Tower. The wizard takes his apprentices and allies in search of uncertain safety in the Third Spire.
