I hope you all enjoy this web novel. It has taken me quite awhile to work up the courage to publish. However, chapter release may be hampered as I have a newborn son at home & must attend to his needs. I hope you all understand. Thank you.

finally. glad you're back.

Please don't be afraid to drop a comment & let me know what you think!

See this! I just gifted the story: Balloon

The Mechanic & The Pauper. 🤣😂

Lol...

Lmao! Kinda dick move, Old Lu. Funny tho.

I wasn't being condescending, simply informative. I started the way I did because many readers on this app are most likely younger than myself. There's nothing to argue. Besides the fact that I quite literally cited a couple instances of extreme violence in world history similar to acts detailed in the novel...which proves the acts are not just in the confines of a fantasy novel. You're simply romanticizing genuine historical acts because the truth is worse to look at: humanity has quite literally acted on par or worse than events in this novel. For real. With enough power & support combined, there were public hangings, beheadings, castration, torture & more over simple things such as peasants attempting to learn to read/write. I was just trying to inform you that the world has never been & never will be as civil as you seem to believe. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but there will always be those that do more than you know or would ever wish to believe. My simple suggestion is start at the events I cited & dig further in to history outside of provided texts. You'll quickly understand what I mean. Anyways, if I inadvertently came off condescending; I sincerely apologize. Again: just trying to be informative. Hope you have a great day.

I digress. Point being, while law exists those that are at the highest rungs of society can use their wealth, power & authority to exploit others. So at time they can work outside or above the laws. Look in to stuff like King Herod or Edward Ironsides tale as historical reference. Look in to drone strikes in the Middle East for modern references. Humans have the capacity to be nasty by nature & it's a rather important remember that.

I hate to be harsh... you may be young However, this novel is actually realistic when it comes to traits of the elite & people that are points or authority/power. One must understand how backstabbing politics really are/were. I mean, world history is filled with enslavement, torture, exploitation & attempted genocides(some successful I.E Pontic Greeks, Assyrians or even the Kasmir genocide...) Some spurn from scorn of a single individual. While this novel can be quite 'cringe', I think it also nails important aspects that can be relatively eye-opening for some.

I like these two a lot. They're true to their innate character which makes them much more palpable & likeable.

She's the best 🥰

The kids bullied, the teacher punished & exercised her power & authority. I see nothing wrong with how she acted considering the absolute hellscape of a world they live in.

The protector of the victim is somehow in the wrong by exercising her authority & power? That's a rather myopic view. She's setting a boundary in concrete only a r3t4rd would cross. She didn't purposefully go out of her way to cause misery, the students did. She's keeping them in check the best way possible: by ensuring the lesson is burned in to their minds. 😁

It's a magical world where daily life is kill or be killed. What did you expect? Fairy kisses & well wishes? 🤣

Clever reference... I like this teacher already.

I know it kinda sucks but to Lith, Trion is guilty by association so he's probably forever banished to the background character role. Heh.

Get 'em, bud!

a lot of grammar mistakes & nothing to really keep me intrigued tbh.

Oh.
