Heart of Storm

An orphan islander, who nearly became a victim of mindless witch hunting, gets a rare opportunity to enroll in the Academy, the bastion of human knowledge. Krito will find himself unwittingly become a central piece in the obscure plots that waited for the necessary push in all those countless years. Will Krito and his new friends survive through the upcoming storm or succumb to it? And what’s the deal with the so-called summoners, dragons, demons, necromancy and various alien abominations? Only one way to find out. TL note: This is probably the first fantasy novel that I've read, and it is in Russian language lol. Probably more than ten years past the last time I opened this book. The naming is a bit weird in this novel, like a mix of medieval German, Nordic, Japanese, Tolkienesque, and vaguely Russian, but the story is very creative and the arc endings absolutely bust a fat nutt. If you want to read in the original language, you can search for "Сердце Бури" in conjunction with the author's name "Петр Николаевич Науменко". P.S. If you find some inconsistencies, or feel like the story is jumping in some places, please let me know where. Thank you!

6th volume prologue

Katrina stood in front of the notice board. After all the fame she had experienced, she craved one more impossible task, but the most challenging one of all was hunting down a gang of orcs.

"Is there really nothing more interesting? I thought our country had more problems," Katrina scowled as she studied the board. "Oh, no-no-no, it's not right to think that way. This is my country too. It doesn't have any problems; some people just encounter misfortunes, and we rush to their aid."

Engaging in a conversation with herself, Katrina looked quite peculiar, and the teacher hesitated to approach her for a long while.

"Miss, I'm sorry, but we're temporarily closing the notice board."

"What?? But how can you do that when I haven't chosen a task yet?"

"Oh, don't worry; in any case, task assignments will be suspended in the next month."

"What? Are you kidding? My guild urgently needs money, and you even forbid this."

"But the treasure hunt is about to begin. Isn't it the most anticipated event for young guilds?"

"A treasure hunt?" A glimmer of thought illuminated Katrina's face. "What could that mean?"

The bell from the clock tower rang. Noon marked the beginning of the "Treasure Hunt."

"Alright, excuse me, but we're closing up."

"Whaaat? What on earth is going on? Damn it!"
