I Screwed the Novel's Plot

After feeling satisfied, we decided to go down the mountain and agreed to meet up again at nightfall. Honestly speaking, every item created by the Arcanist Tower always piqued my interest.

For example, Mana Stabilizer. That item played a great role in my escape from the assassins, without it I would surely die.

I tapped my foot on the ground impatiently. I had been waiting for more than an hour, yet there was no sign of Alexander coming.

I clucked my tongue in annoyance. I should have asked for his Telesphere's code so I could contact him. I took out my pocket watch and eyed it.

'It's ten o'clock at night.'

I yawned.

'I can't believe he lied to me.'

Once again, my mouth let out a yawn. Since I couldn't fight my drowsiness anymore, I chose to crawl onto the bed and pulled up my blanket.

'I'll just sleep.'

However...

"--Ian."

A could faintly hear a voice. I opened my eyelids but they felt heavy so I closed them once more. But--

"Damian, if you don't wake up, I'll throw you a bucket of water."

I lifted my head and squinted my eyes to get a better view of the person who stood beside my bed. As seconds passed, that figure became visible.

"Oh? It's just Alexander--"

I rolled to the side and my back was facing him.

"--what are you doing here?"

"I should be the one asking you, why are you sleeping? Didn't we agree to see the Elemental Cannon?"

'Ah, yeah, that's right. I completely forgot about it.'

I sat and rubbed my eyes. Alexander strode towards the tent entrance.

"If you're not ready within 5 minutes, I will leave you."

With that, he got out of the tent. I exhaled a long sigh and unwillingly moved my ass to prepare. Fedel helped me put on a fur coat. He stepped backward and then bowed at me.

"Please have a safe trip."

I furrowed my brows and looked at him in disbelief.

'Did he just bid me farewell? Shouldn't you come with me? Fedel let me be alone with Alexander? The wonder of the world just happened! What is that? Normally, he would be vehemently against me being alone with Alexander, and now he let it slide so easily tonight? What is wrong with him?'

"Is something troubling you, Your Highness?"

Nevertheless, I shook my head and marched to the exit. Now I just realized, Fedel didn't say nor ask me anything when I waited for Alexander which was so unlike him.

Did something happen to him? Also, I don't see Sir Ulrich anywhere. Again, another person behaved weirdly. I wonder where he did go?

Why did he leave without saying a word to me? Why was everyone acting so strange today? I couldn't help but massage my temples.

'But luckily, I brought a sword with me, so I think I should be fine.'

"Let's go."

Alexander spun and started to move as he saw me approach him, but I immediately stopped him.

"Wait."

He twirled and gazed at me.

"What?"

"Here."

I gave him my Telesphere and he raised one of his eyebrows in question.

"Give me your Tele-code."

Alex blinked his eyes a few times dramatically. He tilted his head and emitted a playful smirk.

"I see. So you want to enhance our relationship?"

'Don't fuck with me!' For more chapters, please visit

Of course, I could only say my foulness inside because I still value my life.

"Nah, just write it down."

"How cold."

He eventually shrugged and returned my Telesphere.

"Thanks."

He nodded and we began to move. Everything seemed fine so far but my step came to a full stop as I stood at the exit of the campsite. My forehead frowned.

'Isn't this the direction of my favorite spot where he and I spent the afternoon together? Why brought me here?'

"Are you coming or not?"

Alexander expelled my thoughts.

"I thought you were going to show me the Elemental Cannon?"

"I am."

"Towards the mountain?"

"Yes."

I was taken aback.

"Shouldn't it be in the camp's weaponry? Or could it be that you hid them in the mountain?"

"Are you crazy? Are you accusing me of stealing?"

He clucked his tongue in annoyance and spun his body.

"Such a waste of time, whether you come or not. I don't care."

Then, he began to walk to the mountain. I sighed.

'Now, he's angry.'

"Coming."

With that, we exited the Refugee Camp and began to hike the mountain located behind the campsite. I could hardly be able to see due to how dark here, the only light was the lantern that was held by Alexander.

Howling owls added creepiness to the atmosphere. I didn't think it was a wise choice to climb a mountain at night like this especially alone with the one that was fated to murder you. I just realized that I made a grave mistake.

A few minutes passed and we arrived at my favorite spot. He placed down the lantern and took out something from his magical sphere.

"Are you angry? I'm... sorry."

A long sigh was heard. He turned to me.

"Listen Ian--no, mark my words: even though our factions are enemies, I won't kill you. So, terminate your distrust in me."

I was stunned at the unexpected declaration. To be honest, I had no idea how to respond as it was too sudden and it seemed he also knew that I always doubted him.

"Just--forget about it. Here."

Alex handed me a binocular and jumped on the tree branch. He sat and put the item in front of his eyes. I followed after him and many ships could be seen through the binoculars.

"The Marine just sent one fleet, I see."

One fleet included 50 to 70 Galleons. Galleon was a long, shallow warship powered by a combination of sails and oars. Sharpened heavy ram made from metal was planted at their bow, it attempted to ram larger warships at speed and either cripple their hulls or even keel the enemy's ship over directly. Galleon was armed by 30 Cannons and crewed up to 150 marines or archers, in addition to the rowing crews.

"Do you see a galleon with a red flag? That galleon is a flagship and the one who stood on the deck is Sir Ethan. He's a Commodore."

I eyed every galleon and finally found the one that he talked about. A man wearing fancy armor came into view. Sir Ethan had a conversation with someone there, I think he was giving orders. I moved to the vanguard galleon ahead. Suddenly the ship emitted a bright glow and something similar to a light beam fired toward the enemy's warship.

--Boom!

Unbeknownst to me, I had been standing on the branch with my eyes widened and my mouth gaped open.

"What the hell is that?!"

The ship that was shot by the light beam was crushed and split into two parts. I glanced sideways and Alexander looked at me with bored and disinterested eyes.

"That was Elemental Cannon. The things that you want to see."
