The Tales of Draconic Warlock

Ah, what the hell?

I slept for more than a day. How in the hell that happened?

It was dark by the time I woke up. I was surprised at first that after all that tiredness, my body needed only a few hours to rejuvenate but man, I was wrong.

Not thinking much about how my tiredness was gone in only a few hours, I went to the bathroom to freshen.

The reason why I didn't see why I slept for more than what I thought I did was because of the rumbling happening in my stomach.

I am hungry, even though I ate a lot before I went to sleep.

I thought that I would sleep for a long time after what I went through and the reason why I ate a lot but all that food disappeared as if I never ate anything.

After I freshened up a bit, I took my mobile to order food from the academy canteen and that was when I saw the time and date.

An entire day was missing.

I, who went to sleep yesterday just before dark, woke up, today after dark. I slept a full day and I didn't even recognize that's what happened.

There is nothing that could be done about that, but I learned an important lesson.

Even with all my attributes, stress is something that I would feel in such conditions as I faced in that monster tide. The reason was because of my decision to lay low-key. If I show every ability of mine at this point could cause more damage than bringing any profits to me.

That was a good decision.

Many may say that is not a wise decision and one should cleave their enemies as they face but they always forget about collateral damage that happens in such scenarios.

In certain scenarios, for the greater good, accepting that collateral is unavoidable is admirable but I don't have any such situation. So acting like protagonists would only do more damage than good.

I didn't know what to do for the night. So I decided to spend some time with Asya [A/N: Pet Fox, if anyone has forgotten]. It has been some time since I spent some time with her.

Since I have no idea what kind of power would be staying at the Repest town or the types of defences that are laid out in the town, I let her stay in one of the secret realms.

If there are any formations that can detect beasts present in the town, it would cause a lot of trouble for me. So I have to take that decision. I placed her in the secret realm so that she would be free to hunt and eat as she wanted, rather than be confined in the pet world space, which I assume would not be so comfortable.

Thinking about Pet World space, Inari had to stay there for a long time, as long as I had company or I went outside. No one could learn about her presence, which could spell disaster for not only me but also my family.

When Inari used to stay with me, in the beginning, there was no secret realm for her to stay as she pleased. She could only stay in the pet world space, which I assume should be rather uncomfortable but she didn't complain much.

I never thought about that, but now she is away, I am thinking too much about these things.

I miss her, more like I miss her sexy body but I miss her nonetheless.

I think every now and then what to do after I graduate. There are many ideas about that but not every idea is feasible.

There is an idea to travel the kingdom, maybe even the world as much as I can. To do that, one should have a lot of wealth in their pockets and even then they should have a lot of strength to achieve such a feat. Read new chapters at m_v-l'e|m,p| y- r

The world is not all unicorn and rainbows. There is a lot of darkness hidden in this world and that's from what I can concur using the knowledge and information available to me. The conditions might be even worse.

Let me give an example.

If a merchant wants to travel from kingdom to kingdom, they are sure to hire an escort guard to protect them. This is not just to protect them from the monsters roaming the wild but also bandits who are much more dangerous than those monsters.

Most of the time, monsters attack directly and this could sensed beforehand, letting the guards prepare well enough to fend out or eliminate the threats.

Bandits are a different type of threat, one that is almost fatal to the travellers, unless they are stronger than those bandits.

These bandits would lay out traps. They would sneak attack them in the middle of the night when most would be sleepy after their lengthy journeys.

Most people would usually let go of their guards when they see that their destination is near. Until you reach the safe place, letting go off guard is a stupid thing.

Unfortunately, when travellers know that they will reach their destination in an hour or maybe half an hour, they would let go of their guards as they would be very tired after travelling for a long time.

This is something those bandits bank on and attack the people.

So to protect themselves, merchants usually use powerful escorts as their guards.

The thing was sometimes, these escorts would be in cahoots with the bandits to get rich quickly. There were such incidents as well, making the economy almost fell to rock bottom.

Fearing the bandits and the escorts who may be in cahoots with each other, merchants started to stop travelling and trading, causing a lot of losses for many kingdoms.

After that, proper guilds were established to make sure such things didn't happen. Even after that, things like that happened a few times but the guilds always took care of those backstabbers quickly making most of assholes with ideas of making quick money to destroy those thoughts.

So for travelling, strength is important or else you may end up in a ditch and your family would never see you again or would know what happened to you.
