145 - Getting Permission

I was casually strolling down the street on my way to Lophan’s office, flanked by the entirety of team Nimma. I felt a bit like a VIP of sorts, strutting about town with his security detail in tow, and in some ways, that wasn’t too far off. By now, pretty much everyone knew who I was and what...

Retcon of shame and despair

Oh boy.

In the process of writing the new chapter, I have come across a rather big mistake I have made during recent chapters. Specifially with the skill Giant Hunter. You know, the one that doubles all attributes when Gary fights against something at least one tier above him. Something tha...

“He should be fine, I think he’s just exhausted.”

“Thank fuck, I thought they fought to a draw for a second there.”

“It certainly is a relief.”

“Can’t blame the guy, eh? After a fight like that, I’d want to take a nap too.”

I awoke to a discussion tak...

I'm going on vacation!

I really wanted to get today's chapter out to you guys, since from tomorrow on I'll be on vacation for 2 weeks. I doubt I'll get much time to write, if any, so the next chapter will probably be a while. Hope you enjoyed the final part of this fight and that it had a satisfying conclusion. Next t...

143 - Fifteen Minutes

Surprisingly, my poison domain reached the dragon first. The shaping process was pretty intuitive and fast. Considering how much mana I was pumping into the spell, it damn well better be. I kept an eye on the debuff icons provided by the archive, waiting to see how long it would take for another ...

142 - I Need A Plan

As I continued my cat-and-mouse game with the strange dragon, a few things became increasingly apparent. First, it seemed to get more riled up as it continued to fail to catch me, which made it try harder. This meant more and more skills were revealed from its bag of tricks. Thankfully, in all th...

141 - Encountering A T12 Monster

I was gliding away from Andrius and Redax, the two of them watching me go towards what might be the dumbest thing I had ever done. I couldn’t help but chuckle at the fact that going to therapy for being addicted to the thrill was what made me decide to take up the challenge. You’d think that ...

Gary's Tier 8 Evolution

I spent some of that dank Patreon money to commission a nice portrait of Gary in his new slacks. There's even some variation. One with just Gary. One with a human for scale(I put that in myself). And one with a little zoom in on our crystal symbiote friends.

140 - Cultist Monsters?

I took a deep breath, letting the experiences of the past few days wash over me to make sure I was ready for what was to come. After my evolution to the eighth tier, I spent a few days consolidating my gains. This included minor things such as getting used to moving around with my longer body. I ...

139 - Preparations

My ear twitched as I picked up the crying of a child and I couldn’t help but let out an angry snarl. These fools, although indoctrinated, still harbored doubts. Especially the children. To show them the glory of the kill, I even had the parents of all the disobedient children executed in front ...

138 - Eighth Evolution

Author Note:

I say this every time I post an evolution chapter, but dear god, the Patreon text editor sucks major ballsack. It is genuinely terrible. It is basically a glorified NotePad. The amount of hoops I have to jump through just to make this somewhat readable is crazy. That being s...

136 - The Tournament: Part 6

For the first time, the system allowed for a short break in the proceedings. A five-minute timer appeared above the arena, while clips of the tournament played on recently conjured screens. I only gave the highlight reel a passing glance, instead focusing on my upcoming match. The others ...

135 - The Tournament: Part 5

I came back into the waiting room to cheers and congratulations, instantly topping out on HP, MP, and VMP the second I crossed the threshold. A wave of relief washed over me as the pain disappeared and I could think clearly again. I contemplatively made my way over to my usual spot, absentmindedl...

Pentera vs. Garreth

We wished Pentera good luck as he left the waiting room, and I couldn’t help but think that he’d need it. With Garreth, the leader of Kurra, as his opponent, his chances at victory were pretty slim. Sure, Pentera’s lightning magic p...

133 - The Tournament: Part 3

Somewhat disappointing first match aside, I was having fun. It was unfortunate for Kabal, but my being immune to most, if not all of his spells was simply unfair. And while I wasn’t too hyped about getting a freebie like that, there was a quest on the line for me, so I wouldn’t look a gift ho...

132 - The Tournament: Part 2

The next few matches went by quickly. I was right there with the audience, oohing and aahing at the fantastical matches unfolding before me. I had seen Asphons fight monsters before, especially the guys from Team Nimma, but there was something different about watching them fight in an arena again...

131 - The Tournament: Part 1

We watched as Rollo and Garam entered the arena under the excited eyes of thousands of spectators. They made their excitement known by cheering loudly as the two Asphons took up their positions on opposite ends of the arena. The arena was a large circle paved with a kind of stone I was told was u...

130 - Before The Tournament

I leisurely walked along the line of stalls that had been erected at the festival site, about halfway between the two city territories. Team Nimma was strolling along with me, making it seem like I was some sort of big-shot VIP they were guarding. While I may be considered to be just that, I sure...

129 - Generating The Final Quest

We once again found ourselves sitting around the coffee table in Lophan’s office. Just like every other time we generated a new city quest, the whole gang was assembled. Andrius and Orbos sat to my left and right, while Nimma joined Lophan on the couch opposite of me. Redax, as always, chose to...

I woke up to a soft knocking at my door. Instantly awake and feeling refreshed, I gave a quick thanks to my high attributes for eliminating the tired and drowsy feelings I used to have after waking up and hopped out of bed. My tentacles extended and I used them as my legs, which I’d grown incre...

Restarting the billing process! Pay attention!

Hey guys, I decided to just restart the billing for the Patreon as is. The 5 bucks will get you the usual 10 chapters ahead of RR, maybe I'll even add an 11th chapter to this. I really, really, need you to understand that I won't be uploading on any kind of consistent release schedule. Only suppo...

I once again found myself sitting in Lophan’s office, surrounded by Nimma’s team. I’d spent the rest of the week furthering my studies on manual casting together with Andrius, and while the technique was nowhere near combat-ready, I made quite a bit of progress regardless. All of the studyi...

126 - Fun With Magic

The day after my fight with Prince Tempus I awoke in my bed back in Lophan. The details of what happened after the fight were somewhat blurry, a massive bout of depression being all that I remembered. Now, I looked back at yesterday with an odd feeling, not entirely certain why I acted the way I ...

124 - Village Quests 4 & 5

I stood in the middle of a massive field. The Asphons had planted it with some sort of grain that was a staple of their food, similar to how wheat was back on Earth. Similar to wheat, this grain also grew on a long stalk that let it sway in the breeze, but that’s where the similarities ended. W...

Terribly sorry about the rather big delay. For those that don't know, I've been pretty sick over the new year and I've only recently got back into a mostly healthy condition. I still have a nasty leftover cough, but that's manageable. Enjoy the new chapter!

Delays due to sickness

Hello everyone!

I originally wanted to try and get another chapter out before the end of the year, but I've come down with a terrible fever over the past couple of days. I reached temps of 40.2°C (104.36 F for you americans) and considered hospitalization at some point, before remembering ...

122 - Third Village Quest

I'm really enjoying not being under constant pressure to post chapters. It lets me cook the chapters a bit longer, think more about what I want to do with them while writing them. And I've already mentioned that they're getting longer in general as well. Be that as it may, I wish you all some nic...
