SL: Chapter 685 – Day 5,408 – A Dangerous Meeting

I finished cashing in my points in New Delhi. The city was just South of my grinding position and was my go to city for resupply and turning in points to the store. It was also mostly deserted, only a couple of people passing through who were grinding the surrounding zones.

The new arrivals...

Young Michael

“Purgatory,” I muttered as Hendricks, and I approached the city. We had been pretty far out in the wilderness for quite a while, grinding monsters. I was getting close to the point where I would be able to handle level 4 monsters, but Hendricks said I stil...

SL: Chapter 683 – Day 5,386 – Rest Day

Dylan and I were taking a rest day after 25 days of grinding. While I wasn’t a fan of rest days, I needed one. Clearing three zones every single day was beyond exhausting. Just the constant fighting over and over. I was really beginning to hate level 7 monsters with how adaptable they were.

SL: Chapter 682 – Day 5,361 – The Naked Truth

We had cashed in the points for Dylan and just spent one full day grinding. He was barely able to handle a level 7 zone, but he could move and pick up crystals. The cold and lack of air were rough on him, but he was capable enough. We had only cleared two zones today and planned to clear three to...

SL: Chapter 681 – Day 5,348 – Lost Points

“This is the location,” Dylan said as I scanned the area. The air boat was near the ground, and I had killed all the nearby monsters easily. He had quickly picked up the point crystals they had dropped. That reminded me of a time long ago. I really was going down memory lane lately.

SL: Chapter 680 – Day 5,346 (Part 2) – More Letters

After reading the letter from my mother, I felt tired, and incredibly grateful to Michelle. She had mentioned things only I could know, so she truly was related to me. I carefully put it away to read later. My emotions were already quite raw. I sat down and wrote a letter myself. One to Michelle ...

CC: Chapter 83 – Trade Deal

I looked out of the hovercraft at thousands of crystalline spiders. Their webs were impossibly black, drawing in light and my guess, providing the creatures sustenance. Also trapping unwary idiots who passed through their habitat.

The area they inhabited was immense. They clearly had no nat...

SL: Chapter 679 – Day 5,346 – A Letter

“I worked as a truck driver,” Dylan talked about himself as we continued to fly towards New Kochi. “It wasn’t that interesting, but it was a good job. Definitely when you get a nice long route in the Midwest, you could listen to a book on audio and mentally relax.”

“Well, you wi...

SL: Chapter 678 – Day 5,344 – The Last Soldier

There was no airship waiting for me. I closed my eyes and let out a sigh. Michelle and Captain Francis could both be dead. My home was gone. The original location had no one there along with the backup location. The Crystal Vortex had been lost once again along with my two teammates.

CC: Chapter 82 – Leaving Into The Unknown

I double checked my one spatial ring I had that worked. It had been downgraded to a small room in terms of size, but it was more than enough to store the solid energy bars that had been packed away for trade and a variety of equipment that wasn’t based on arrays or formations.

Speaking to...

SL: Chapter 677 – Day 5,341 – A Friend

Amy

I looked at the woman who had saved me. She was worn down and bloody. I carefully gave her water from the flask she had been carrying. Her right arm was a deformed mess. Her left arm was missing below the elbow.

“Thanks,” she said as I lowered the flask. We ha...

SL: Chapter LXXXV – Day 5,340 – A Last Stand

I surveyed the battle at a distance, interfering where necessary. It was time to clip Michael’s wings. He had left his airship alone to cash in all his points. A shadow war was now inevitable. Each of us was trying to drag the other down.

I still had my prisoner, his mother locked away in...

SL: Chapter 676 – Day 5,340 – Choices

Captain Francis

I looked at the letter addressed to me on top of Michael’s desk in his private room on the Crystal Vortex. Of course, he had a plan of some kind. I opened it up, read it, closed my eyes, and then folded it back up. I put it in my pockets and consi...

SL: Chapter LXXXIV – Day 5,340 – Outplayed

My eyes snapped open. I had been performing my evening checks and was just alerted that Michael hadn’t returned to the airship and the tiny airboat was missing. He had left. How had he known?

All that preparation was pointless now. “Well played,” I muttered as I got up. “I was being...

SL: Chapter 675 – Day 5,340 – Being Sneaky

“Sir!” one of my soldiers saluted in surprise as I landed on the deck of the airboat. It was standard procedure to keep one person on the airboat while the rest cleared the level 4 zone. The other soldiers nearby who had just gotten off while finishing the last of the flying monsters, stopped...

SL: Chapter LXXXIII – Day 5,300 – Frustration

“He is still just sitting there? Well it seems like he has committed to the strategy of running away,” Jacob said. I glared at him. He didn’t cower at all under my glare. The incompetent pig that he was. His usefulness was quickly coming to an end.

“And you found nothing about this ...

SL: Chapter 674 – Day 5,300 – Tea Is The Drink Of Deviousness

“It is too quiet,” I said on a rare day I was taking off from grinding. Mentally I needed a bit of a break, killing level 7 monsters was stressful. They could hurt me if I wasn’t careful, and I had to push myself to clear out two zones every day. I was working harder than I ever had. I was ...

SL: Chapter LXXXII – Day 5,278 – Insight

I quietly listened as Amy continued to share everything about her son. I had been negligent in questioning her, preferring to just use her as a chess piece against Michael. But he was proving to be more troublesome than I expected.

“And then he fell off his new bike.” I was only half pa...

Clarissa

Everything was on fire. I watched as Purgatory turned into a massive funeral pyre. The stone itself was melting and the waves of heat were coming off from the city. I turned away from the massive sunken inferno.

A short distance later, my personal guard was w...

SL: Chapter LXXXI – Day 5,275 – Rage And Bankruptcy

“He appears to have run away,” Jacob said. He fell to the ground screaming for his insolence. He had said it would happen, but I didn’t believe him. A few seconds later he stopped screaming as I released him. “Feeling better?” he asked petulantly.

“How could he just leave?! His ...

SL: Chapter 672 – Day 5,275 – Ten Billion Points

As I returned to the Crystal Vortexfor the day, I saw another airship, or airboat as I liked the call the small airships, in the distance that had come to a stop. I landed on the deck of my airship and after a quick check by the soldiers I made my way to the bridge.

“Status?” I...

SL: Chapter LXXX – Day 5,273 – Training And Observation

I had my eyes closed as I felt the subtle shifts of energy about me. The energy of the Heavens was everywhere but it was slippery. One needed absolute control over their thoughts and an incredible sensitivity to attempt what I was doing without support of the Heavens.

I reached up with my r...

SL: Chapter 671 – Day 5,273 – Frustration

“DIE,” I blew away another level 7 monster and looked around. There were no more. It was great stress relief to kill the monsters and get their crystals. I picked the dropped crystal up and tossed it into my pack. I then looked around, there were no more.

I set off back for the Crys...
