ToC: https://www.patreon.com/posts/23899958Annie squinted at the horizon, surrounded by the rugged beauty of the snow-capped mountains. The first signs of snow sent a tingle through her body, like calling to like. But for now, the powerful wind through the Nordawn Mountain Range dragged leaves and twigs through its high passes, leading to strange rivers of airborne debris that whistled past their cabin. However, she spotted a few dark smudges cla...

Several workers began to dig up the roasted meat and bring it to the butcher to be cut. She nodded to Randidly and Tatiana. “Just need to spread it out on the plates.

She had spent far too much time knowing him, watching him grow, to miss how ill-equipped he felt to deal with this conversation regarding his romantic desirability. Even though he had taken a lot of steps forward as he adapted to the System and grew in confidence, he hadn’t transformed into an unrecognizable form.At moments like thes...

He couldn’t deny that the environment of this place was… pleasant.
