I am very sorry to say that I am going to abandon this novel.
I am not giving it up because of laziness, I am abandoning it because it was moving towards a common weak trope story.
For Ried! I thought he will become a slave after getting out of the forest, and got purchased by an adventurer party, who will keep him as a baggage lifter..... but as his talents and the insignia start to shine he will become the best adventurer of the town( with a somewhat corrupted personality because of the insignia)....
Whereas for Kara I thought Lush knowing she's from another world, take Kara to her academy where she will be enrolled and learn magic while befriending certain nobles(She didn't let her hands heal, as a punishment for losing Ried)
If you spot this tale on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation.
And the thing that corrupted the dragon will spread slowly... becoming the primary antagonist.... with the question where does it come from.. and what is it's relation to the insignia in Ried's hand.
And the biggest question of all... why was Kara and Ried summoned in the first place when a big cataclysm like this is going to happen
Again I am very sorry!!The story was progressing slow so I thought I should try a different approach with another novel.
