Chapter 10.1, The Philosopher’s Test
| The Principle of a Philosopher by Eternal Fool “Asley” | Next Chapter>>
In the Far East Wasteland…
A single beam of light pierced through the swirling dust storms.
Anyone who had ever used the arcane arts would recognize it as the glow of a Teleportation Spell Circle — the invention of Asley, the self-proclaimed Philosopher.
A man appeared, stepping out of the light — his body rugged, covered in countless scars that spoke of battles fought and survived.
“Damn, man! He REALLY lives like this? I didn’t believe it at first!”
The voice came from a second man, who had arrived just after the first. He seemed lighter in demeanor, yet his face also bore the marks of past conflicts.
“Well, Bruce, it looks like those stories about the human-hating hermit aren’t entirely wrong,” said the first man, Blazer.
“Well, I think I just became a sand hater myself, Blazer,” Bruce replied, squinting against the blowing grit.
