Oliver's Rising Fame

Clutching the heavy pouch of gold coins, Oliver couldn’t suppress a satisfied smile.

Two hundred gold coins!

For a single battle, he had earned more wealth than he could have imagined just months ago. Back then, he was a starving farmer, eking out a meager existence. A farmer might toil for a lifetime, forsaking food and comfort, and still fail to earn such a fortune.

Now?

Now, Oliver had become someone entirely different.

Even with his current abilities—venturing deep into the forest to hunt valuable magical creatures—it would take painstaking effort to gather this amount. Yet here he was, walking back toward the academy, the weight of the coins and the memory of the battle still sinking in.

He had done it.

He had foiled the sinister plot of the Silver Circle Cult. He had saved an entire town.
