the lore goes, was a man named Tsun Jae. Don’t try to determine what language that name is from, it was just a fitting name for a martial arts sorcerer and isn’t really using an Earth basis.”
“He was named that in the lore because it sounded cool?” asked Scott incredulously.
“Yes, exactly.” said Rhea.
Scott smirked in amusement. “Seriously...”
She grinned at him then said, “Let me finish!”
“Alright, go ahead.” said Scott. He sat up straight and lifted his head in an approximation of a studious appearance. “I am prepared to receive your wisdom, oh goddess of backstories.”
“Thank you... Anyway, Tsun Jae was a mage and an unarmed martial artist. He struggled to understand the best way to combine the two arts. Eventually, he learned the rhythm of nature and found a way to become closer to the spirit of all things.”
“He merged unarmed combat and magic.” said Scott.
“Yes, he did. The resulting fusion allowed him to wield fewer spells overall, but he had such a mastery of them that he was a force to be reckoned with. He went on to define the higher sorcerous arts and when he finally passed from this world and became one of the gods of ARS, he left behind the secrets of true mastery.”
“He joined your people?” asked Scott.
Origin snorted. “No, of course not. Though, he does exist and is one of the people you will eventually have to meet in the classic server if you want to find the path to true mastery of your class. That is, if you decide to continue with it once we reincarnate.”
“So what was that business about him becoming a god?”
“ARS god. That’s just a planetary deity, not a true celestial. It’s like how I have an Origin avatar for this world because attempting to enter this plane in my true form would cause catastrophic damage to the world.”
“Continents would sink, dogs and cats would live together in sin...” said Scott.
“Yeah, but I don’t think a giant man made out of marshmallow would show up.” said Rhea cutely.
Scott snorted. He raised one hand up and opened his eyes wide before he spoke in an authoritative and ham-fisted tone of voice. “There is no marshmallow, only Zuul.”
She giggled loudly at him “You goofball.”
Ero whimpered cutely then sighed. “Oh goodness...”
Scott and Rhea could not help but laugh at the exhausted little thing. Scott had filled her with his experience and she had loved it just as much as she usually did. Still, her response had certainly included good timing.
Chapter 6: Fairy Friend with Benefits
Several long hard days of doing the worst sorts of jobs had passed. The trio had undertaken many monster subjugation missions, a few item gathering quests, and a bandit extermination request. They had finally reached a point where the government had decided that they could be given a chance to earn their Writ of Meritorious Service.
Scott refilled Ero’s cup of tea then smiled at her. Rhea had to deal with a little offline work today since they would go on their final quest to acquire the writ tomorrow. The sorcerer and his fairy best friend decided to take the day off and get a bit of rest.
“Thank you fairy much.” said Ero cutely.
He snorted at her then grinned. “You’re going to keep doing that when you talk, aren’t you?”
“Yes! I think it’s fairy cute.” said Ero with a smile.
Since they had awakened earlier Ero had decided to replace the word very with the word fairy. Scott still had no idea why she had made such an arbitrary decision, but he had written it off as just one of her quirks.
Ero took a deep breath then released a happy sigh. “This is nice.”
“The tea?” asked Scott.
“Everything.” said Ero.
“Yeah, it is nice to just relax a little. We’ve been training a lot.” said Scott before he refilled his cup of tea.
“True, but that’s not what I meant.” Ero dipped a spoon into her tea cup then used it to take a drink once more.
“What did you mean?” he
