MTL - Chang’an Small Restaurant - Chapter 85 hold his hand

After years of exile, Marcus is coming back home. A powerful mage with few equals, Marcus lives in a world full of monsters and powerful adepts, many of which have bad histories with him. But he has not come back to pursue vengeance or start a fight. All Marcus wants to do is reconnect with old friends, build himself a house, and maybe train a successor or two.Alas, the world didn’t stop just because Marcus went into exile, and not everyone is content to let go of old grievances. Strange things are happening in the world at large, too, hinting at a looming disaster of unknown nature. Still, where there is a will, there is a way.If nothing else, Marcus has a lot of magical power to throw at problems.+++Zenith of Sorcery is set in its own original setting and isn’t related to Mother of Learning… beyond being written by the same person, of course. This is a more classical fantasy story than my previous one, with a lower level of technology and stuff like elves and dwarves, but it has a lot of worldbuilding effort put into it and its own complex magical system. The story has significant xianxia influences, but isn’t meant to be a xianxia story.For those of you not familiar with my previous work, I write relatively slowly. I intend to publish chapters at the rate of one chapter every three or four weeks, subject to further delays as life intervenes.

A pill, a tiny capsule encased in a biologically harmless water-soluble shell; A shell whose very existence is a result of a century of research and technological advancement. A manmade synthesis of Chemicals and product of complex processes.

And in the end, a means to an end.

A way to deliver a concoction of other Chemicals for an agenda; Vitamins for nutrition, medication for treatment, or… perhaps more.

We trust that what we eat won’t do us harm, and trust that those who are responsible for its creation had the best of intentions. But in the end, it is difficult or perhaps impossible to truly tell what lies within a pill.

That is until one day I entered a research institution as a test subject. All I did was swallow a pill I was told to be a health supplement.

[Are you crippled?][Did your fiancé break the engagement?][Did you lose your family to a demon attack? Are you the last surviving member of your clan, seeking revenge?][Does your family look at you with pity because you're the only one without any innate spiritual roots?][Are you tired of being told that you're a 'waste of resources'?][Are you stuck with no way to progress? Are you tired of being weak and helpless?][Well, have no fear! This Supreme Master is here to help you!]

[I'm sorry host]“Oh, you're sorry? Do you think that will be enough!?”[I mean it isn’t all bad! You are a noble!]“My entire family wants me dead.”[You're a student at Astraelis!]“All the commoners hate me for getting in through my status as a noble. All the nobles hate me for being useless. And all the teachers banned me from attending their classes.”[When you graduate, you will be protected by the Empire!]“If I somehow survived till graduation.”[Host... It might be pretty bad.]“You think?!”Reinhard Malvin groaned at the absurdity he found himself in right now. One minute he was one of the best spies in the world and next minute he was in the body of a cliche villain. And to make matter worst, it's one with no advantage!“Uh whatever. I will just focus on surviving by sucking up to one of the teachers-”[Um Host... Did you forget? If you don't complete the Fate mission, everyone in this school will die.]“...”Reinhard held his face, not wanting to look at the blue screen that. Specifically, the text that tells him to seduce the Resonator and sleep with her.“Are you sure this will stop her from exploding?”[Absolutely! And it will also make you stronger.]“It better or else I'm not surviving in this crappy world.” Reinhard pushed himself up and stretched before heading towards his first target. Fortunately for him, seduction was a part of many of his mission and even higher than his mission success rate.He had yet to fail in making a target his....Extra Tags:[No Yuri][No NTR][No BL][No Sharing]
