Map of Purgatory - Day 500

The map of Purgatory on Day 500 I made for reference.

Chapter 205 – Day 499 – A Late Night Return, A New City

We arrived late at night, the wood and metal gates on the inside of the tunnel were closed. I knocked heavily.

“Champion Michael, returning,” I called out. I heard movement, and then the gate opened up a minute later with five soldiers of the RMPF there along with a Captain I recognized...

Chapter 204 – Day 498 – The End Of A Grind

We had just finished turning in the points for our latest grind session at Neo Brasilia.

Body-550 (+50); Mind-300 (+125); Spirit-500 (+300); Perception-300 (+125); Aura-300 (+125); Regeneration-1,000; Endurance-100 (+50); Absorption-100 (+50) for a total of 3,150 upgrades.

Naran was d...

Chapter 203 – Day 441 (Part 2) – Back To The Grind

“Surprised you let him take control of the city. It is going to be a cesspool,” Naran said as we left the city back to our grinding spot. I wasn’t going to change it, despite the risk.

“I know,” I replied with a sigh. “Sam and his team aren’t good people, but it doesn’t matt...

Chapter 202 – Day 441 – People Headaches, Almighty System Headaches

We made our way back to plaza of Neo Brasilia to cash in our latest grinding session. I would finally be hitting one thousand in my Regeneration stat. I didn’t think anything would happen, but it was a nice big number.

I would be regenerating 10 energy per minute. This would let me use 2022-11-22 00:00:05 +0000 UTC View Post

Chapter 201 – Day 433 (Part 2) – Aftermath

I let out a sigh of contentment as I got a regeneration. Only a couple of thousand points. My body stopped feeling sore after that scatter shot attack I had taken.

Naran and Fethee both got a regeneration as well. I purchased a new cart in the same colors as the last one. I let Naran handle...

Chapter 200 – Day 433 – Die Or Run

But when there were only two golems they climbed up the wall. I would need to try as well. Would it be possible with a high enough Body stat to punch into the stone and make my own hand holds and foot holds?

There was the natural mental instinct to avoid punching walls. It was the same thin...

Chapter 199 – Day 432 (Part 5) – Run Or Die

I saw the city wall of Neo Brasilia in the distance. We had made this trip enough during our grinding sessions, we both instinctively angled for the East tunnel entrance into the city through the wall. I spotted it.

Naran and I both timed our movements so that as we got closer, we landed ri...

Chapter 198 – Day 432 (Part 4) – Teamwork Makes The Dream Work

Our camp was coming up. “Think we should detour?” Naran asked.

“None of Gertrude’s team can live. You know that,” I replied while the ground trembled under our feet. The horde of seven golems was still after us.

“What a waste, but better to nip problems before they build u...

Chapter 197 – Day 432 – A Fatal Error

We left at first light. Gertrude’s summoner teammate came along with four scorpions. I let Naran and Gertrude handle the blue gargoyles. They were ugly and quick, but Naran had enough experience from our recent grinding sessions to take them down easily enough.

Gertrude struggled a bit on...

Chapter 196 – Day 431 (Part 2) – A Discussion On Power With Pointers

We set up camp that evening. Everyone was sitting around quietly I considered my options and wanted to test something. Also, to spice things up. “Gertrude, up for a friendly spar. No skills?” I asked. I could tell she was considering the option. Naran gave me a look and I just shrugged at him...

Chapter 195 – Day 431 – A Heated Meeting

We were about to leave Neo Brasilia after turning in our points from the most recent grind session. The cannibals were keeping clear of us.

Body-500; Mind-175; Spirt-200; Perception-175; Aura-175; Regeneration-870 (+250); Endurance-50; Absorption-50 for a total of 2,195 upgrades.

Chapter 194 – Day 407 – Back At It

“So, you are into the raunchy kind of humor?” Naran asked me as we made our way to our regular level 3 grinding spot. Fethee had stayed on as a cart puller. That was a Naran problem, not a me problem. But it was good to see he was handling managing our supplies and having someone to pull the ...

Chapter 193 – Day 404 (Part 4) – A Fountain of Poo

“What do you think?” Clarissa asked me. I gave her a look. You expect me to have a simple answer to this mess? I might be in charge and the strongest, but she knew as much as I did.

“I think that I am going to have to take a look in that direction. To figure out where exactly the Ritu...

Chapter 192 – Day 404 (Part 3) – Expansion and Waiting

I had rushed the rest of the way back at the end of the day. The RMPF would clear their way back on their own the following day. I wanted to know what happened with the Ritualist. Naran hadn’t returned yet as I sat with Clarissa in my office sipping fruit flavored water. I had just informed her...

Chapter 191 – Day 404 (Part 2) – A Betrayer Of Feelings

I stood there looking at the wrecked body of Tom. Fingers, toes, were mutilated. His face was a carved up piece of flesh and I could only tell he was alive was from how he was breathing.

“You have the crystals to heal him?” I asked Governor General Gerold.

“Yes, but, it would be...

Chapter 190 – Day 404 – Aftermath, After Action Reports

I got up and made my way to a window. It was daytime. I had gotten back late last night and everyone had regrouped in the plaza, with only minimal guards at the gates, for healing and to assess what had happened.

I had a change of clothes and a bed had been brought and set up in this buildi...

Chapter 189 – Day 403 (Part 2) – Assault On Truth Part 2

I reached the East gate and noted the soldiers there. They noted me ahead of time, which was good to see they were paying attention. I quickly came to a stop. “Status?” I quickly asked the Captain as he saluted me.

“Team at the North gate reports casualties. Breakthrough imminent.”<...

Chapter 188 – Day 403 – Assault On Truth

I sat in a chair at the command post in base camp in the very early dawn. The sun wasn’t even out yet. While we weren’t able to confirm the skill users were inside Truth, the Union teams had been contacted and were already scouting in force.

Our command post, was to the Southeast. It co...

Chapter 187 – Day 400 (Part 3) – Thinking And Preparations

I was sitting on the top of my building overlooking the plaza. It was a great view. There had been two guards up here, but they were hanging out behind me, out of my way. I noted the treasury also had soldiers of the RMPF on top of the building.

Clarissa certainly wasn’t taking any chance...

Chapter 186 – Day 400 (Part 2) – The True War Council

“Who?” I asked Naran. I was pretty sure it was one of the previous lords of Truth, but I wanted to be sure.

“One of the previous lords in charge of Truth. He only ate people with stats. It must have been giving him some kind of boost,” Naran said.

“Dead?” I asked just to b...

Chapter 185 – Day 400 – War Council

I entered the Meeting Chamber. Weird how the store didn’t call it a hall. How things were laid out had been changed. I sat at the central table at the head. Clarissa, Naran, General Gerold, Vice General Smith, President Bob, and Garret were all there as well, sitting at the main table in the ce...

Chapter 184 – Day 399 (Part 8) – The End Of A Long Day With More To Come

“You really butchered hybrids, cooked, and fed people their meat?” I asked Doctor Katz. There was silence at this. I was honestly surprised the good doctor had gone so far and was curious how much further he would go.

“You think you are the only one pissed off about this! You think yo...

Chapter 183 – Day 399 (Part 7) – The Red Meat of Power

I sat in my office, and it was my office. Not Clarissa’s office I was repurposing. It had a conference table, so it doubled as a meeting room. Clarissa was present along with the good doctor, Ben Katz. He had requested an emergency meeting, but didn’t say what the issue was.

There was s...

Chapter 182 – Day 399 (Part 6) – A Sad Fate

I released the force field. “Hello Laura.” She was sitting against the far wall and looked up at me. I see she got a regeneration from the last time I had seen her. Still, she looked worn, smelled, and her clothes were a bit dirty from her own filth. I looked at the waste bucket nearby that w...

Chapter 181 – Day 399 (Part 5) – Prison and Punishment

The Prison building was one big block like the other buildings that took up two by two building plots. There were two RMPF soldiers standing outside. They saluted and opened the doors. The walls were quite thick, so it was a bit like walking through a short tunnel. We came to a circular room and ...

Chapter 180 – Day 399 (Part 4) – Rod of Control

I got my 50k loan returned and purchased the Rod of Control as another 500k was being brought out to reimburse me. While I had a lot of points reserved for my health insurance plan, I wasn’t about to go over one million points, even if they were already cashed.

The moment I chose the opti...

Chapter 179 – Day 399 (Part 3) – All The Buildings Part 3

“That is quite a bit,” I replied after getting my head around that number and trying to stay calm.

“Yes. It is comparable to what a CEO would make of a top-rated company, based on the value of crystals. Which is about a dollar to point, based on their purchasing power and the rule of ...

Chapter 178 – Day 399 (Part 2) – All The Buildings Part 2

“The image is the same, day or night,” Clarissa added.

“Really cool to see the city from above. The streets are a mess.” I kept playing about zooming around. I could even move to a location with just a thought.

I then thought about the purchase options. Getting a city map cost...

Chapter 177 – Day 399 – All The Buildings

“Clarissa. How’s it hanging?” I jovially asked her as I took a seat at my desk. Seeing the improvements walking into Purgatory had put me in quite a good mood. Progress was being made while I wasn’t around.

“It is hanging quite well and a little to the left,” she replied with he...
