“Super-size, it, of course just super-size it all,” I muttered loudly as I watched the massive purple suckered tentacles burst out of the ground around the city. Each one was the length of a cargo ship, or skyscraper. There were a thousand of them. Each of them birthed eyeballs. From slits on...
2023-05-24 00:17:07 +0000 UTC View Post“Ready?” Clarissa asked me at breakfast. The preparations to go into lockdown and suspend operations of the Imperial Government were almost completed. Today was the day the city would be upgraded to level 6.
There were an expected 1,000 level 6 monsters that were expected to attack duri...
2023-05-23 23:09:12 +0000 UTC View PostXLR8 handed me the speaking stone so my voice would carry. Little Michael came forward and bowed to me deeply at my seat at the back of the cathedral. “Emperor Michael. Um. Well, I wanted to ask, what you think is the most important thing a person should have.” I smiled and nodded at the kid....
2023-05-23 00:26:58 +0000 UTC View Post“My people, let us contemplate the nature of the Mind stat. For there is much to consider about its usefulness,” High Priest XLR8 said while I listened in from my special seat, behind him at the back and center of the Power Church of the Almighty System.
It was a mouthful, but I felt a ...
2023-05-22 23:44:18 +0000 UTC View PostI was already moving for my sword and pulled it free from the dead rank 3 beast. Spinning around, I kicked off the ground, staying low. Roaring Twilight was leaping down, but it was midair. It couldn’t change its direction. I moved under it and slashed my sword upwards. It tried to twist out of...

“Unacceptable!” Emperor Michael roared and slammed his hands down onto the desk and it shattered from the impact of the blow. I winced at that as splinters went flying around me. “Six days and the culprit hasn’t been found.” I took a breath before ...

“What do you think?” Jacob asked me as he held up a compact metal case. I took it from him and carefully inspected it. “A reserve battery. The density is quite big.”
I recalled something that I had read in the texts we had recovered from N...

I wanted it.
It was a stupid thought, but that level 7 monster enthralled me. Its massive body, its immense power. The Molten Millipede of Fear And Destruction. The endowed name was something that rang through my very soul.
After spending a decade on wo...
2023-05-20 23:00:06 +0000 UTC View Post“Main man Emperor!” XLR8 said in his booming voice. He gave a bow and a salute at the same time and then sauntered up to the chair opposite me.
“XLR8,” I greeted him back. The man was a character. But he had been a huge streamer back on Earth and had a decent head on his shoulders. ...

The Crystal Vortex had arrived late this evening. My sworn shadow soldiers swept the hallway ahead of me for any traps or assassination attempts. After the monster battle arena, they had only increased against me. I was Michael’s weakpoint and he was see...
2023-05-19 23:03:09 +0000 UTC View PostThe carriage took off immediately. There were two guards on the carriage along with the driver. While we hadn’t been attacked on the way out here, it was dangerous traveling between cities. Even if the main roads were well maintained and paved. With how well the roads were made, it was obvious ...
2023-05-19 21:25:55 +0000 UTC View PostI stood on the platform as another Giant Centipede the size of four school busses was blasted apart. Burning chunks rained down into the exploding lava that was the moltenlands. The intense heat was making me sweat slightly. My team had it worse.
We were making progress, but I hadn’t done...
2023-05-18 23:45:19 +0000 UTC View PostLooking to my right, I could barely make out the massive tower in the distance. The distance blurring effect was so great it might have been my imagination. The towers in level 5 zones, were about 70 floors tall and had a much bigger footprint. Almost four times the length and width of the tower ...
2023-05-18 23:03:59 +0000 UTC View Post“Dammit!” I shouted out loudly as the Book Of Curses was held by a humanoid skeleton in a gray and silver robe let out a black wave of energy. The monster holding it was just a place holder for the true power of the monster in its boney hands.
The real monster was the Book of Curses, bu...
2023-05-17 23:31:21 +0000 UTC View PostJust like with the Infinite Block, our plans went through several revisions before it was finally time to attempt the capture. The sandstorm raged around us. The airship was back in the shatteredlands portion of this level 5 zone.
I was out here, with Michelle, Doctor Katz, and Joyo. Captai...
2023-05-17 22:53:21 +0000 UTC View PostThe Sect Leader looked over my proposal. It was expensive to build, but if I was going out to hunt beasts, I needed to move quickly. That meant a device to quickly extract cores. I could locate them, but the higher level beasts were tougher. I couldn’t just plunge my hand into them like rank 1 ...
2023-05-17 22:52:34 +0000 UTC View PostDodging the countless pulses, I was getting mentally tired. Dodging for 100 minutes was exhausting. I couldn’t waste my energy except dodging or keeping the active enchantment going. It was closing in on the 100 minute mark, when things went wrong.

“Still, if it works it would allow our sect to use a third element and a di...
2023-05-16 22:42:33 +0000 UTC View PostWe had gotten the Reverse Reflection Mirror. That had been a slight headache to capture, but it was doable. Now we were headed for the Infinite Block. We were going to cheat getting to it. If we went by land, then we would have to go through other level 4 and level 5 zones and terrain.

2023-05-15 23:22:39 +0000 UTC View PostWe were quickly accelerating. Airships didn’t care about velocity, but the risk of flying right off into the void was great enough that once we reached the optimal speed, there was no more acceleration. We were going fast enough to leave everything behind.
The trick was getting started, c...
2023-05-15 23:00:53 +0000 UTC View PostThe Sect Leader pulled out a piece of paper and began writing on it. “Do everything on this list. Then rest and no cultivation or Elder Healer Meihui will yell at me.” I had to hold back a grin that she would yell at the Sect Leader. “The Astral Soul Stabilizer will be ready in five days. N...
2023-05-15 23:00:19 +0000 UTC View Post“Michelle, the Infinite Block is a bad idea. It is infinite,” he replied.
“And that is what makes it great. It multiplies itself. It doesn’t summon and put stress on energy. It can form a perfect wall. It is highly adaptable.” All those reasons were why it had been one of the wors...

“Survive, not win. We may be backed up by an insane number of stats compared to before. But the problem comes down to footing. The level 4 zones you can stand on. The level 5 zones, well only ...

2023-05-14 23:00:27 +0000 UTC View PostI made my way out of my cabin, through the narrow hallway. The soldier who was heading for the shower, quickly backed up. The hallways could fit two people tightly. I was in my armor, so pushing past each other wouldn’t be fun.
