  Foreword

  Yo! Saileri here! Just wanted to throw in a few words before we dive into the book. Also, a huge thank you for deciding to give my novels a try!

  I have seen many people mentioning that it would be so nice to have a short summary of the story at the beginning of the volume and that’s exactly what I decided to include in my book. The section before Chapter 1 briefly summarizes the events of Volume 10, so if you are coming here straight after reading it, feel free to skip it without losing anything. For summary of Volumes 1-10, check the beginning of the earlier books again. If quite a few days have passed since you read my story, I hope this will help you refresh your memory. Of course, it won’t be as detailed as the book itself so I still recommend reliving the first volumes completely ;)

  This story was written in the form of a web novel published on the Internet, which sometimes slightly differs in reading experience from what the usual books offer. Such stories are often long-going, with hundreds of relatively short chapters, and a similar situation takes place here.

  Also, as no one in the world, I’m not perfect, so if you happen to stumble on any mistakes, feel free to bash me on the head about them in my Discord server. There’s a dedicated channel for that there. I finally got myself an editor, but things can still escape our eyes, obviously.

  Without further ado, enjoy!

  Story So Far

  Beware! Spoilers from Volume 10!

  For Volume 1-10 summary, check Story So Far in the previous books!

  Taking a well-deserved rest, Asterios and the ladies oversaw the development of their small city. The settlement expanded, and so did the protective walls and barriers surrounding it. With Althea’s help, the change wasn’t that difficult, even if it looked like something from within a dream to the bystanders.

  Structural growth wasn’t the only thing happening in Glimmervale. The noble duo introduced a new nobility system that allowed people to compete in specific fields without unnecessary misconduct. Everyone would need to start from scratch, but the path to getting recognized was much easier and clearer than in other governing systems.

  The dungeon near the town wasn’t staying idle either. With the help of Miria and Umbra, it turned into a very flexible experience. Miria led the charge by diving alongside the adventurers herself, showing everyone the ropes, and having lots of fun by showing off. The new rooms, chambers, and encounters could serve both the newcomers and the local knights, who sought to train themselves.

  After wrapping things up, Asterios and his crew sat down together for another summoning attempt. His mentor and mate, Althea, wished to call upon an old friend and connect them to a settlement of Lesser Dragons. They succeeded in bringing forth Phatru, and after a bit of convincing, discussed the plan with their new ally.

  Instead of contracting Tina, she offered a bond with her daughter, willing to help them set up a meeting on the other side to negotiate with the Nestmother. That would allow them to work together with the whole village. Asterios summoned the young woman with her mother’s help, and after Tina duked it out with her, she agreed to join the initiative, becoming Tina’s companion.

  With their next steps specified, they traveled to Phasmantia, and Asterios hid himself in Althea’s shadow as they explored the floating isles. A moment later, they met with Nestmother Rhufija in her secure tower. A slight conflict arose from her side as her protective mates doubted Ast’s good intentions. But, after a bit of explaining, the lady agreed to give them a chance.

  Still, they had to wait a few days for her to fully ponder over her choice, during which Asterios practiced his realm-tearing ability. His first attempt at a real transfer landed him in a weird, frozen realm instead of his targeted world. He ran into giant monsters assaulting tiny seal-like folks and offered them a hand. Thankful for his assistance, the Sealies showed him their settlement.

  From their talk with the old and wise leader, they heard about a potential True Dragon sighting and flew to check it out. Ast’s party found a bubbling hot spring at the foot of the mountain, and an icy keep inside of it. Unfortunately, the owner wasn’t home, and their kids seemed to have starved to death during their absence. Save for one, who escaped through the walls. They took a dip in the lake, and Selene advanced once more, gaining another beautiful tail.

  During his second attempt at realm traveling, Asterios landed in a swamp. Met with a talking frog, he escorted the amphibian home. A whole family met him, teaching him about the way. With the enlightenment gained from the mysterious beings, he finally succeeded at moving into Miria’s realm at will.

  To celebrate his success, they invited Miria’s family and a few other friends into Kraedorion. The girls took their companions aside while their mothers moved into the city to chat. Asterios met up with Miria’s father for an emotional bonding moment.

  Later, they discussed expanding into Eabiarhia through an Adventurer’s Guild, which excited Miria greatly. Things had
to be well-thought-out by Guildmaster Suanori, but everyone was excited about the prospect. While waiting, Asterios organized an official knighting ceremony for the young Irelia, who was worth all their respect and love for being so honest and righteous.

  The Nobelle family showed up alongside Ast’s grandpa during the ceremony, and Tina reunited with her parents and sister, as they wanted to settle down nearby. Gwen was offered an internship at their guild, under Sunaori’s watchful eye, while her parents were taken property hunting by Kindra.

  His mother’s father shared what he knew about the Rubytong clan amongst the dwarves living in the isolated mountain. From the information, Asterios deduced that the clan might have had some connections with a True Dragon, and it would be worth checking that out. So, they decided to prepare for the upcoming festivities where the families competed for leadership.

  Back in Miria’s home realm, they met up with Oria, her mother, and investigated a recent change in the behavior of local beasts. They stumbled on a vile blood ritual in the middle of the forest, and Oria recognized it as a lure specifically for her. Ast’s party fought the crazed monsters, and she had to finally come clean about her past, revealing what she had been hiding from Miria about her old days.

  Afterwards, they came up with a plan to lure the aggressors instead, acting as if they had fallen for their trap. They caught two beastfolk females, who revealed their mission after a bit of good old torture. A protégé from Oria’s past was on a warpath, going after her vigilante group. Miria’s mom wished to save her comrades, and so Ast’s party journeyed forth to find them.

  First, they located a Bearkin man hiding with his Deerkin wife under a Molekin settlement covered in easily combustible gases. Managing to convince the little folk that they were not enemies, Ast’s party met with the family and their single son. Miria might have flexed a little too much during the meeting, hurting the young man’s ego a tad.

  Spending a moment just catching up, the group agreed to storm the hiding spot of their enemy together. Asterios took the family onto his back and flew everyone to the bandit fortress. He took care of the first blow, protecting Oria’s old comrades from harm until they burst into the hideout. Then, everyone fought the bandits on their own terms. When the criminals surrendered, the path to the inner halls stood open.

  Cornered, the bandit leader and ex-vigilante Roki, requested a duel with Oria, threatening to blow up the entire place if she refused. Miria was reluctant, but allowed her mother to fight him. Not without some issues, the Pantherkin lady bested the weak male, and Umbra saved the day by disarming the explosives. The threat had been neutralized. Returning to the Molekin settlement, they chatted about the future, and Oria invited her friends to her village, where she would be willing to become the guildmaster.

  By that point, Nestmother Rhufija came to a final decision. They spoke with the Lesser Dragon lady once more, and she set up a gathering in the amphitheater for them. All young and old minds from the nest arrived to listen to Althea’s and Phatru’s introductory talk. Things were developing fairly well, at least until Althea’s old mentor showed up with his new apprentice.

  A bit of a back and forth ensued, but the argument was broken by a report about True Dragons being spotted near the settlement, possibly following Jellal on the way there. Asterios had to reveal himself and flew to confront the blue-scaled individual. He managed to outsmart the male, learning that a True Dragon nest wasn’t that far from their position. Returning to the auditorium, he joined the discussion.

  Things grew heated with accusations, so Grea brought out a memory-reading artifact. Althea showed her past and invited her mentor to do the same. When he refused, his young apprentice stepped forward, showing his true nature through her own memories. Before things escalated even further, Althea came up with a plan to end this feud once and for all, offering Visenna to watch how they did things in the other realm before she decided who the liar was. Confident about himself, Jellal agreed easily.

  Then, Asterios answered some questions from the younglings and explained his initiative further. It was met with some interest, and Phatru’s daughter Rusilthea became the star of its first wave. Asterios and Tina formed a summoning contract with Nestmother Rhufija, connecting the settlement to Glimmervale in a similar way that Esil’s winged tigers served the Human Kingdom.

  Back home, accompanied by Visenna, the Summoner duo called forth the first batch of Lesser Dragons, linking them with the members of their Dragon Guard. Afterwards, Asterios introduced the forces to the population and mentioned his trip abroad, leaving the nation in the hands of his trusted aides, the Committee, and a few of his mates who would remain on site.

  Finished with preparations, Ast’s group gathered in Althea’s lair, and they set up precautions before he tore open the fabric of dimensions. Bidding final farewells, Asterios, Miria, Selene, Tina, Silvia, and Tia ventured forth into the dark realm, accompanied by Umbra and Abyss.

  And so, their next adventure began…

  Chapter 1

  Might Makes Right

  In the pure darkness of the Nethernight realm, only the purple stars illuminated the landscape of the cursed world. The stars, and the fierce crimson breach hovering over the black grass, bathing the creepy smoking stalks in a reddish radiance. In such an ominous place, the tear looked more like an entrance to some hellish dimension. Its scarlet glow could be spotted from far away, that was for certain.

  Fortunately, or not, the breach began emitting a cracking noise, and Asterios watched alongside his companions as the passage he had created was quickly slipping out of his grasp. No matter how hard he focused on keeping the connection up, some immense force aimed to get rid of it, to squeeze the wound he had carved in the flesh of this realm shut. They could only stare at the opening becoming narrower by the second and finally snapping out of existence.

  The source of the crimson light was no more.

  “Looks like we will have to be quick whenever we decide to finish our expedition and return,” Asterios commented thoughtfully.

  “Are you sure we are not locked in here, Master?” Miria asked with a bit of worry as she glanced around.

  He carefully retraced the earlier steps of the realm-tearing process and pierced the invisible sheet with his enhanced claw. Confirming that it had pushed through, he hastily withdrew it instead of dragging it down, not wanting to emit too much spiritual energy near a spot they knew nothing about. Someone or something could take notice, and that wasn’t the best start to their adventure.

  “It’s much harder to do from the inside, but it’s not impossible,” Asterios replied, caressing her ears lovingly.

  “And it will only get easier as we take down the barrier cutting this world off from the grand universe,” Selene pointed out. “Nevertheless, it’s good to hear that we do have an emergency way out in case things turn out to be a tad too difficult to see through completely. No offense, Abyss, but I’m going to prioritize my Lord’s safety over all else. Others most likely will too.”

  The ladies nodded in agreement without a moment of hesitation.

  Their mysterious companion, who seemed to be perfectly visible even in front of all that darkness and black shades, turned to them slowly.

  “I would not demand of you to sacrifice your own lives in assistance to my personal matters. If this journey proves to be too much for your current selves, do not waver, take the first chance to avoid unnecessary risks and lethal dangers,” Abyss announced calmly. “We can always try another time, which won’t happen if the most crucial person for this operation does not exist anymore. Asterios is the key to this realm. We can’t lose that key.”

  “Well said.” Silvia showed a faint smile. “The door won’t go anywhere. As long as we have a way to unlock it, our chances are unlimited.”

  “Experience is an important element of growth,” Althea pointed out in a truly mentorly manner. “Even if we are forced to take a step back, we should not view it as a failure but an opportunity to review our actions, consider newly gained knowledge, and make preparations for the future.”

  “Besides, we have this world’s creator with us, don't we?” Tina rested her fists against her hips. “Now that Abyss is inside, this should be a piece of cake, no?”
