I finished having breakfast with Clarissa and left my home. The wonderful breakfast of bacon and eggs brought a smile to my face. But it was back to the grind for me. I felt a breeze and a slight pressure and shivered.
I turned and my heart froze in my chest. The world slowed to a crawl. In...

AUTHOR’S NOTE: Any date with parentheses is a negative day from when Michael arrived.
I looked around and saw gray buildings. Other people were getting to their feet. “Listen up you new people!” I slowly turned to look at the man speaking. He reminded me of a pig. An ugly pig. He bega...

“Good job,” I said to the group of people under me. I had stayed out here even though I had an invitation to return for the celebration. I was content out here. Helping people, taking it easy. If I went, I would have felt stress about the sky worms.

“The first item. The omnidirectional headlamp, for fighting in dark areas.” Clarissa handed me the piece of gear in the conference room. I looked it over. It was basically a reinforced headband with eight small boxes around the outside.
I carefully engaged the belt like clip and flipped...

I eagerly put my hands on the store pillar to look at all the options. The cost to upgrade to the next level of the store was 10 million points like I suspected. The new material was called steel by the shop, with a sword and pieces of armor, costing 25 thousand points each. The new food option w...

I waited offset from the stone pillars in the plaza that were used to access the store. Standing on the half wall that had been built around them I looked up at the sky, waiting. Everyone else had been evacuated. I turned to look in various directions. It might not be sky worms and it might be so...

“You really can handle it all on your own?” Clarissa asked me.
“Yes. Even aerial combat. With my energy reserves, I can spam my skills and not have to worry about energy. But ten level 4 monsters would be the limit. And if they can counter my Acid Shot,” I replied.

I turned in my points for the last 40 days worth of grinding during the early morning at Neo Brasilia. The guards gave me looks but no one interfered with me. Since I hadn’t gotten a mental alert, it appeared that the Divine Empress hadn’t made a move yet.

I entered Neo Brasilia and was quickly pointed to Governor General Sam’s office. He had summoners so he managed to get an alert of my arrival and was waiting for me outside.

I called them babies since they were children only two feet tall at best. They were wearing white shirts and white pants in an oriental style, where the shirts were long, which made them stand out visually. Their faces were snarling, I noticed blood shot red eyes, their high Body stat, and precis...

It had been a pain in the rear to cross salt lake. It was a bit too far to fly across. I went to the nearby swamp and melted down a tree. I had then used Air Burst to glide across the salt water. While there were no visible monsters within it. I wasn’t about to be stuck in water combat...

I left Purgatory late in the evening. The dungeon I wanted was only open at night. So, I would show up there with a bit of time to spare. It would be a long day tomorrow, but I had a route that would take me around Esperanza, picking up all the dungeons in level 2 zones, of which there were eight...

The Envoy’s eyes narrowed slightly at the letter. It was clearly a provocation by the Astrologer. But we needed to present strength to buy time. Rolling over would just have us rolled over. He carefully folded the letter back up and tucked it away in his robe. I noted he wasn’t wearing a pack...

All this running was exhausting. I had gone directly Northwest from Purgatory through the swamp. There were black iris floating eyes, which shot black beams at me. I dodged them and pushed on rapidly with Air Burst. The skill was really getting a workout.

“It is something else. It is terrain and it is stable. At least I think so. It is hard to make out any details since the energy is packed so tightly. As for consumption. You eat that, you would explode or transform instantly. I wouldn’t even touch it,” the Astrologer said and then continued...

It was getting dark as we entered the zone in question. What had been really disturbing was the lack of monsters. There were no monsters at all. It made travel quick from Truth, but it was disturbing.
