Pallesia: Chapter 129 - Magical Mount.

“Please…” Lee begged as he heaved in lungfuls of sweet, desperately needed air. “Think of the spells…”“NO! I am not some steed or mount meant to carry others.” Em hissed out as she began to leave Lee behind.Before, when Em had attempted to ride in the wagon, Lee decided to hop out and walk alongside Em as they talked shop about magic. It was unfair that she had to walk or scuttle everywhere they went, and he decided that if he was going to get in shape, some exercise was needed.He just wished that he got some breaks.It took abou...

Pallesia: Chapter 128 - Spell of Evil.

I am not liable for any spells cast onto the reader in this chapter. I'm sorry ahead of time.-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Lee sat in the back of their shaking wagon, nibbling on cheese and bread. After the poisoning, Regina had Jeremy and Kendri grab the wagon, and they left immediately. They were, hopefully, escaping the person who had tried to poison him.“You know—You can have the rest of my breakfast. I’m not very hungry after…” Annalise clenched her eyes shut ...

For adventure!

Pallesia: Scheduling and chapter length.

Since the beginning of my writing journey, I have posted twice a week, every Wednesday and Saturday at 10:03 AM CST. Each chapter is roughly between 1750-2300 words, usually ending up at around 1850-2100. I was thinking about swapping to a once-a-week posting schedule but also doubling or even adding a little more (around 5k words) to the chapters.This is a big change, and it's not like I'm dead set about actually doing this, but I wanted to see what you all thought beforehand. I am on the 'slower' side of posters for RoyalRoad,...

Pre-read: Reap What You Sow - Chapter 6

Last night, Sable found her room by matching the door’s nameplate number with her key. She didn’t bother to inspect the room much as the alcohol was kicking into full gear, and the room was beginning to spin. She promptly stumbled over and passed out on the nearby bed.She awoke with a fright in the early dawn as a message appeared in her mind.[Singer]: Level 1 - ?She couldn’t see the words, it was almost like telepathy, but there was no voice. The information was just presented to her instinctually.Her heart was beating vigorously from th...

Pallesia: Chapter 127 - Cleansing.

As the minutes passed while Lee and Regina waited for Annalise, Lee had begun to calm down. While he felt like shit, it wasn’t anything new to him.Before his life turned upside down from his trip to Pallesia, he had felt worse than he was currently feeling, more days than not. It turns out that having a giant tumor on your heart did that to people. While he hadn’t felt like this in months, it still felt semi-normal. His old normal. Well, as normal as he could be.After realizing that he wasn’t going to drop dead within a few seconds, or mi...

Pallesia: Chapter 126 - Wraithwisper.

My finger is doing much much better now. :) -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Lee wiped his forehead exaggeratedly as he slowly stood from his crouch with a smile. “Phew, you took a lot of mana for such a small body! You must be full of potential!”The young boy, no older than five years old, nodded shyly as he repeatedly glanced over his shoulder at his mother. She gave an encouraging smile and shook her head ruefully. It was pretty adorable, but the boy's fi...

Pallesia: Chapter 125 - Aftermath of Lopus.

NOTES: Once again... Sorry for any glaring grammatical or spelling mistakes. My left index finger is very badly infected, and I am going to the doctor tomorrow about it. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Congratulations! You are level 26! You have 15 stat points available.Lee willed away the message, which jumped out for attention as he walked through Lopus's ruined roads alongside the timely side character Em. They didn’t have to walk far to reach the basilisk�...

Pallesia: Chapter 124 - Dynamic Duo.

Lee watched with mounting horror as an enormous amount of mana swirled in a violent and frightening display before him. It coalesced, centered on the basilisk's third eye as it widened and widened. Its eyelids rolled back like a furrowed scroll as its pupil spasmed, and its iris began to give off an ethereal glow.In his peripheral vision, Lee could see adventurers backpedal in shock and terror. Even without Mana Sense, they could tell that something was horribly wrong.Lee tore his eyes away from the basilisk and scanned everyone around him ...

Pallesia: Chapter 123 - Bombardment.

My finger is infected, so I apologize for any grammatical errors or misspelled words. My sister got a new puppy, and it bit my finger playfully; I think that was the cause. It's pretty bad, but hopefully, it will be better by Saturday's chapter. I don't want to write in pain again. Chapter 123Lee stood far behind the other worried and stalwart adventurers as the enormous basilisk approached their position. Alongside him were a few familiar faces from t...

Pallesia: Chapter 122 - Converging allies.

“You have two minutes before we head out! Don’t leave anything behind!” Hemsworth barked out as he stormed through their encampment.All around him, squires were assisting their knights in equipping their armor. There were a few reasons why adventurers didn’t use platemail. One was the price. A complete set of fitted, unenchanted full-plate cost more than a house in some places. Two—and what was readily apparent here—You needed help, and it took time to don the armor.To many, an equipped knight seemed covered in a single, heavily def...

Pallesia: Chapter 121 - Through the streets.

Lee, Regina, and Jeremy slowly traversed the village of Lopus, keeping their eyes peeled for potential threats. Well, Jeremy and Regina kept their eyes peeled for potential threats, and Lee swept around for those who required healing. While he knew he wasn’t a genius, it didn’t take a genius to see what the aftermath of a stomping behemoth left in its wake. Many were dead, but those who were on the brink were healed along the way by his Healer’s Beacon and Healer’s Touch combination.Healer.Heal 5000 HP.Complete!Reward: 500XP.Lee barely ...

Pallesia: Chapter 120 - Rendezvous.

Lee continued to raise Walls of Earth as he kept his eyes peeled on the towering foreleg that erupted from the ground. It was truly staggering in size. If he had to compare it, it would be nearly half the size of the Giant he had seen back in the monster siege. Easily able to crush him underfoot without a second thought.Another deep warhorn-like call rumbled outwards from the creature as it attempted to rise to the surface. It wasn’t a howl, hiss, or any other sound he could attribute to any creature he knew of. Stupidly, the first thoughts t...

Pallesia: Chapter 119 - The call.

After hours of answering questions and calming down the adventurers in attendance, Lee was free from his duties. Frankly, he was surprised by the questions asked about healing. While he knew the residents of this world knew little about human biology, they did seem to have a very rudimentary grasp of anatomy.Like the Dark Elves, they knew most things from repetition, failure, and what was now known as common sense. They knew they couldn’t breathe water—That was quickly figured out long ago by their predecessors. This was common sense.They k...

Pre-read - Reap What You Sow - Chapter 5

Chapter 5After wandering through the city and stopping to ask for directions, Sable found herself at the entrance to The Restless Ruse, an Inn. She didn’t expect much out of it, as she had seen the state of the buildings in the city, but was pleasantly surprised by how energetic it looked inside.From the outside, it was a simple but large wooden building alongside the main cobblestone thoroughfare. It had two floors and many dark-stained wooden shutters. She assumed it was one for each room. The large chimney spewed dark smoke from its top, a...

Pallesia: Chapter 118 - Theft of the good book.

Lee gave a bright smile from behind his hood as he stood behind a podium in the main foyer of the village hall. He smiled at everyone who was attending his third session of teaching healing magic. Well, If you counted his lecture, which was cut short in Neldam, this would technically be his third, and he leaned more toward counting that as his first.Before him, inside the foyer, sat well over fifty mages who had spent the last week and a half learning life mana. Lee had watched some of them meditate and focus on learning it over the past few da...

Pre-read: Reap What You Sow - Chapter 4

Chapter 4Shielding her eyes as she screamed, Sable fell to the floor. She wacked her head on the ground as her hands were attempting to shield her eyes. The light radiating from Siluetta was like staring into the sun itself. Even with her eyes closed, she had a giant bright spot in her vision, probably from her burned retinas. Sable, nearly crying, screamed out.“What the fuck are you doing?! STOP!”The light never faded, and Sable gave up in her useless attempts to block the light with her hand. She tried to claw herself away blindly on the ...

Pallesia: Chapter 117 - Drop of Life.

For the next two hours, Lee tried his best to rid himself of his new problem—a problem much higher level, deadly, and immune to emotional pleas. A problem that was making Lee regret wasting his prior time alone.“Regina, in the five minuites I’ll be away, I’m not going to be assassinated—For gods sake.” Lee held his head in his hands as he stood on the nearby forest's bounty.Regina stood by his side, scanning the forest for danger. Her hands were clasped politely around her midsection, and if Lee didn’t know any better, he woul...

Pre-Read: Reap What You Sow - Chapter 3

Chapter 3The City of Slatt was large, not nearly as large as St. Louis, but larger than she had expected for something straight out of medieval times. Packed dirt roads made up the main thoroughfare, and the small branching alleyways between the wooden or stone brick buildings were made of uneven rough and tough cobblestone.Near the entrance of the gate, she had seen mostly residential buildings. She spotted families wearing rough clothing made of wool, cloth, or leather—nothing nearly as finely made as her cheap white tee.There also weren’...

Pre-read: Reap What You Sow - Chapter 2.

Chapter 2Sable stood by the warm fire, completely ignoring the human guard talking directly in front of her. Her head ever so slowly leaned to the side in an attempt to look at the fox person. The human guard just shifted his body to block her view, causing her to scowl at him.Sable just wanted to examine the fox person. He had humanoid features, and his face was quite like a human's. He had two long, bright orange pointed ears atop his head. His shaggy haircut was hiding where the ears were connected. Not seeing any ears where they should ...

Pallesia: Spell Poll.

As a thanks for supporting me on my writing journey, I wanted to have you all give suggestions for Lee's next Arcane Synthesis. Combining spells is something new, and I figured the first one could be done as a community!The original spell combination I had planned wasn't going to get much use until later on down the line, so this is the perfect time for a community spell.Please comment your wanted spell combination and whichever one gets the most likes, that's the one I'll choose.

Pallesia: Chapter 116 - Letdown.

The next morning, Lee awoke to a near-empty camp. Regina had been insistent about starting her preparations in the village, so she at least had a reason not to be around.Jeremy and Kendri didn’t get along. That wasn’t a surprise, but usually, that meant that one was at camp while the other went to do… whatever they did. Now that he thought about it, he wasn’t actually sure what they were usually up to during their free time.Em usually followed him around. Initially, Lee was glad that she did so, as he was afraid she would either get att...

Poll: Reading other stories.

Would you be willing to read some of my other stories before they get released onto RoyalRoad? I'd like to hear your thoughts on them, and how you feel about them in general.

Pallesia: Chapter 115 - Plans underway.

Lee let the healing life mana swirling in his veins simmer down and petter out as he inspected the encapsulating air mana dome surrounding himself and Regina.Regina, for her part, stood calmly with hands clasped together, waiting for his response. Her emotionless face was unmoving as she watched Lee calm himself.“Warn me before you cast random spells next time,” Lee said as he trailed his eyes all across the mana dome.She gave another bow before apologizing in a monotone voice. “I am sorry. This spell gives privacy for our conversation—...

Pallesia : Chapter 114 - Arrival at Lopus.

Standing along the side of the empty, cleared road that wound through Lopus, Lee watched a horde of adventurers travel toward where the multitudes of camps and tents were set up. Already, those who had first arrived started clearing away the nearby trees to make space, chopping the wood into suitable-sized firewood to use later.Lee tried his best not to stand out as he watched party after party pass him by on wagons or foot. His titles were turned off again, as the knights Meriah had mentioned were coming later, and he didn’t want to grab any...

Pallesia: Chapter 113 - No more harm.

In the village hall, Lee stood at a podium surrounded by all the adventurer mages he had found in the past two weeks. By now, all of them had acquired the life affinity and were ready to learn from his spellbook.He scanned the room with a smile as everyone present settled into their seats, waiting for him to speak. While there were a lot of adventurers in this small village, filling it to capacity, the rarity of mages was definitely letting itself be known.Lee had estimated that there were around five hundred to six hundred adventurers statione...

Pallesia: Chapter 112 - Busy.

Lee was going to be exceedingly busy in the following two weeks. He would have to juggle his time between enchanting, teaching, spellcraft, and healing as he got his plan underway. There would be an extremely tough and busy few months ahead for him, but the longer he waited, the harder it would be.First, if he wanted to spread his healing throughout Thexis, he needed to have enough healers around so that the Healer’s Sanctum lost its hold on its monopoly. They would act; he knew they would act. It was just a matter of how soon they caught win...

Pallesia: Chapter 111 - Family.

Meriah stared listlessly to the side. She apparently had not deemed any interaction necessary. Lee slowly began to translate Kooco’s introduction, leaving out the aforementioned sexual assault as his heart felt like it was tearing in two.While her past was obviously unpleasant, he had second thoughts about not letting her have hands. He needed to be stern, as her actions as of late were unacceptable, no matter her past, but an inkling of guilt wormed its way into his thoughts. Everything he thought of felt like cruel punishment. It was one th...
