"Hey Josiah, where were you?" Thomas asked.He was in the front of the entrance and Josiah knew he wouldn't let him in without answering properly."I… Was in a friend's house," Josiah answered. 'Not exactly a lie…' He thought."A friend? What friend?"'Good. The conversation took this turn instead' Josiah celebrated internally."Have you ever heard of a girl named Lenny living around, Thomas?" he asked carrying the most neutral intonation he could while he casually walked around Thomas to the interior of the house. 'Maybe if I pretend nothing wrong happened, he won't notice…'The servant followed him in and answered the question sincerely:"Lenny…? No… Can't say I have. Who is she? Daughter of the milkman?""She said she lives nearby, but she has no parents. She lives on her own...""How would a child live alone on her own?""I know, right? It must be hard. I was thinking… Don't we have space for someone else…""…No!" Thomas interrupted.Josiah swallowed his words."But…""Young master
The Throne of a Thousand Swords Emerging War
"Thomas…? Thomas? Are you ok?"Josiah was crouching, standing next to the servant's eyes, who had collapsed on the floor."For low long did I sleep?""Did you sleep? I don't know… Two seconds? You just fell and now I'm here.""Ouch, I see… This feels like… This feels like back when someone in the castle wanted to poison lady Mirild's chalice and, as the cupbearer was out, I had to experiment it first. I remember seeing all spinning around and then I fell down, exactly like that," Thomas said as he rubbed his face and tried standing up. "I believe this weapon can strike at distance. I am completely sure your attack was out of my range after I dodged it.""So it's like a mid-ranged attack with a poisoning effect?""If so, a somewhat mild one. I felt the dizziness but I don't feel anything inside my stomach, in fact, I can just get up just fin…"He stumbled upon his own legs and fell down again before he could get straight."You don't seem fine…""Ach, Josiah. Can you bring me to the hous
The Throne of a Thousand Swords My First Conflict
"In the end, you had to use your sword after all…" The Magistrate had to say."Humph." The soldier did."What do you think?" The Magistrate asked."She is all right. She could make it to the ones who don't actually die in the first five minutes. Stand up!" The last two words were directed at Lenny, laying with the back on the grass in front of the man who won against her."STOP!!"Josiah's voice could be heard coming from just a few meters away. The three men had their attention drawn to his direction, from which he showed up, from behind the trees."Leave them alone!"Josiah was visibly tired and sweating. He had to run all the way from his house to the place before something could happen to Lenny."Another one!?" The soldier standing before the fallen girl made a surprise face.Unlike Lenny, Josiah was wearing everything he had: he already carried the sword in one hand, the dagger in the other and he was even wearing the iron leggings he got as a gift from Thomas."This one also see
The Throne of a Thousand Swords The Magistrate
The Magistrate waited for Josiah to come at him with both arms crossed. The mocking smile on his face exposed his confidence. He hadn't even begun making it easier to draw his weapons out of the huge number of belts and chains they were being held with among the heavy armory the man carried with him. 'Did I really uttered all cockily I'm going to give this guy hell? What the f*ck is wrong with me?' Josiah realized internally.The Magistrate didn't move an inch, even with Josiah stepping closer.'Forget it. Focus. If this dumbass won't start fighting, I will.'He charged trying to reproduce what he learned, but the small worries in the back of his mind may have turned it into a slower assault than he was accustomed to.As soon as Josiah got close, he felt his left shoulder tearing up. When he looked to his left a huge jet of blood splashed on his face. Where did that come from? Josiah didn't see anything until he was cut. All of that happened in mid-air, during his attack. Josiah had
The Throne of a Thousand Swords Promised Soldier
"What's the matter, young boy? Weren't you going to give me hell or something?"The Magistrate kicked some dirt into Josiah's face."Say… What is your name?""Josiah.""I see. So you are 'the' Josiah. No wonder the prodigy farmboy could take one of my soldiers. I want you in my army, little one. We are going to do wonders to someone as talented as you.""N… No…""No…?""This… This fight is not over yet!"Josiah lifted his body out of the grass with the last ounce of strength he had, with what appeared to be a last desperate surprise swing. It actually caught The Magistrate by surprise. He reacted slowly and the swing managed to hit the armor on his chest, causing his body to get bounced a bit back.'Such strength for a young boy. This strength probably comes from the level of his sword' He thought.He watched as Josiah took the opportunity to stand barely once again."You are resilient. I'll give you that. No matter. We just do this again."The Magistrate invoked his weapon to the air
The Throne of a Thousand Swords Little Collector
Summer had blessed Couche once again with the pleasant breeze and the giant shiny sun in the sky, helping the crops growing larger and larger in the farmsteads. The smell of fresh grass helped people stay motivated.During three long years, Josiah struggled every day training his wielding skill and battle endurance. He also trained the level of the weapons he had, alternating in sparring with the servant and venturing in the woods to find creatures to strengthen the blood abilities of the weapons he owned.With a lot of responsibilities an adult man can only train so much, but being a kid with a lot of free time, Josiah devoted almost all of his to perfect his combat-related abilities. In a perfect mix of bloodborn talent, knowledge from another world, and perseverance; he was approaching the level of adults when it came to weapon-wielding. "This sword. My mother left it to me when I was born. It's the only thing I have from her. It's now at level 16. Thomas said I'm leveling it up ul
The Throne of a Thousand Swords Wonders of Nature
Josiah was carrying four weapons: his favorite sword that Mirild gave him; the level 14 dagger; the short rapier The Magistrate handed him, now almost level 12, and he carried a short level 6 ax on his belt, in case everything else failed.The rapier had the interesting property of accelerating one's bloodstream. Josiah could confirm that by the times he used it against creatures over the years, it always made him feel warmer and hot-headed. In a sense, it could be used to enhance his bloodbound properties with his other weapons. After all, the good blood condition was essential for a good usage of that kind of things."Now I know why people always carry a factory of blades together with them whenever they are going to the battlefield..." He commented as he struggled his path climbing the western mountains. That amount of steel was already starting to get to him."Uff, I'm beaten. I should find a place to rest before I continue…" He said as he was under the scalding sun, after a long c
The Throne of a Thousand Swords A Formidable Enemy
The massive body of the vurdum occupied almost all of his peripheral sight at that angle, standing straight to him while he had his back to the barricade of tree trunks.'I need to force it to make a big leap and fall itself on the hole it carved.' Josiah thought.He tried a sudden movement. But the beast's eyes just looked at his body, as it kept approaching slowly.The vurdum got close enough and clawed with one of his frontal legs. Josiah tried using the sword to try and parry the arm like it was a gigantic sword. But the animal managed to swipe the arm back just in time.The animal tried helping with the other arm. It knew Josiah wouldn't be able to handle both.Josiah unleashed a random wave of attacks in a desperate manner. With the dagger. With the sword. He didn't even know where he was aiming at."Go away, you piece of sh*!"But the animal would always block the distance bloodbound attacks with the bracelet and resume tormenting Josiah with its claws.'What the hell? Why won't
