And it has nearly reached 6K Spanish Views!
What is a boy to do!?
I am forever grateful to you, my loyal and amazing reader base! I will continue to write for you all just as long as you continue to read along, you have my word as always.
It blows my mind and humbles me at the same time that so many people actually like my stories. I hope that I can continue to keep you all happy and entertained on each of your individual levels lol.
I know that my writing style has changed up a bit since this story started just over a year ago, and I hope that that fact hasn't turn anyone away.
It seems that my style tends to evolve and shift with my personality, and as I write and learn more.
I have yet to speak to any of you, or even receive any comments or inboxes of feedback, but I feel like I know what you all like in some strange way.
Regardless of how accurate I am in that, I am glad that you all continue to return and read the next Chapter part, Character dive, World lore, or Origins of the world that I cook up every week or so.
It makes me happy to imagine that somewhere out there, this is someone's favorite book.
I hope I never let that 1 reader down lbvs.
I love you all, and I hope that this chunk of lore holds you over until I post again!
See you all back here at the gates soon enough.

"My path to travel. Part 1.5"
Character: Yenoog, The Tough.
Species: Cyclops.
Nation: Western region of Naeri.
Age: ???
Class: Heavy Brawler.
Weapon: Sheared-gate Cleaver and Blood-tempered Cudgel.
Origin:
Yenoog has existed for as long many of the smaller, younger dorpies that dot the forest lands of Naeri. He and his ancestors have plagued the Western coast of Naeri for centuries, as none have been able to hunt them all down at once at any point in history due to their burrowing nature. The fact of the matter is more so that they don't seem to stay gone, even after the "last" of them has been hunted.
Although Cyclops tend to live in monogamous pairs, they have only been spotted out in the wilds of Naeri alone as of the last couple of decades, indicating that their number have truly fallen.
Yenoog is one of a litter of eight, and his age leaves him somewhere in the middle from the youngest to the eldest of them.
They are in all:
Yenood, The Fierce.
Yenoor, The Mild.
Yenook, The Vile.
Yenoop, The Silent.
Yenoog, The Tough.
Yenoot, The Dreaded.
Yenoom, The Bold.
And last but in no way the least, Yenool the Sharp.
Yenoog and his kind were birthed from the rage and worry of Humanity and its Dwarf and Elf counterparts, and they will continue to reincarnate for as long as these feelings persist in the ever-growing world. This would explain why their kind can never truly be driven to extinction, for as long as one of the eight siblings live, they can and will generate more of their own while feeding from said emotional states.
Many theorize that the Cyclops species is one of the many monstrous beast who were manifested by the will of the Grand Dragons in order to slow and stabilize the growth and spread of the Humanoid species. The may also be a side effect of Humanities direct effect on the natural world around them, as they began to pollute and thus ruin the environment.
Abilities:
-Supernatural strength and durability.

"My path to travel. Part 1.5"
Character: Valerin Jurant/ Valerex, Harbinger or Disorder.
Species: Human.
Nation: Stenkule, Lumaleza.
Age: 46 HLS
Class: Aetheral Mind Projectionist
Weapon: Enchanted Staff.
-Crown of Mentax.
Origin:
Valerex, Harbinger of Disorder was born Valerin Jurant in the early, developmental days of Stenkule. His parents wanted little to do with him, his school mates bullied and belied him daily, and nearly everyone else within Stenkule either ignored him or simple didn't know he existed. This sort of cold and detached upbringing forged Valerin into an equally cold and detached child, teen, and later, adult.
Valerex had developed the ability to read minds at a very young age. His parents had figured this out at as well, and had all but took advantage of this ability for their own gain. This would later leave him both feared and ostracized, as not a single person would ever truly trust him or let him close enough to form any real or lasting friendships.
His was a life of forced solitude and loneliness. He would use this time -of which he had plenty- to study the Human and Humanoid mind, using his inherent ability. With time he would learn to not only read minds, but enter them and "direct" the owners very actions.
Upon the discovery of this newest ability, he was officially band from his home town and kept away by the promise of death. No one could trust that with him around, their actions were truly their own.
They would come to regret that choice.
On the night that he was band from Stenkule, a group of traveling mercenaries had come to the dorpie, passing and mocking him on his way to exile.
He had singled out the strongest among them and taken hold of his mind...
Stenkule was burned to the ground within hours, and nearly all of its people were killed. Only a handful of children were left alive.
He had switched minds so many times that night, that he had lost a part of his own as he sought only to reek havoc and cause as much death and chaos as he could. As a side effect, he had not only absorbed many of the peoples memories, but a sliver of each of their Aether pools as well, leaving him more powerful than he had ever been, yet also far less mentally stable.
The few survivors that remained would spread the tale of Valerin the bringer of disorder.
With time and many, many more assurances of death and destruction over the next two decades, the legend of "Valerex, Harbinger of Disorder" would solidify itself within the annals of Enverdolmals history.
Valerin had gifted himself the name of Valerex and the title of "Harbinger of Disorder" after he had defeated a Warlock by the name of Mentax the Mind bender, an infamous Warlock who had risen to power by doing much of what Valerin had been doing up until their confrontation.
With his new name and title, Valerex would leave Lumaleza all together, not only to avoid the many bunties on his head, but to make a name for himself within the bounds of a new region
Abilities:
-Aetheral Projection of his own mind into the mental space of others around him -up to five miles in range-
-He can project images into others minds, causing them to act towards the projected objective. If the controlled mind snaps or is destroyed, he can be directly effected if he cannot disconnect in time.
-Can control the body of those that he is in the mental space of like a puppet. The amount of control that he has is limited only to how "immersed" he cares to become.
-Staff allows him to use, absorb, and redirect most forms of elemental magics.
-Crown of Metax: Boost the range at which his mind magics retained their effectiveness.
Stats:
Strength: 4.5/10.
Stamina: 5.5/10.
Agility: 5.5/10.
Aether: 8/10.
Dexterity: 6/10.
Resilience: 6/10.
Intellect: 8.5/10.
Resistance: Low 8.5/10. High 7/10.
