“-you.” I stumbled and looked around. I had just been thanking a customer. There was screaming. The smell. People were killing other people. They were eating them! I stumbled back and looked at someplace I could escape to.
There! Near some stone pillars the...
2022-11-08 00:00:06 +0000 UTC View PostWe had just finished up our second round of grinding and were headed into Neo Brasilia today to turn in all the crystals. I had turned in the level 4 crystal the golem had dropped. It wasn’t worth the headache of keeping it around.
No need to tempt fate that it would somehow, however unli...
2022-11-07 00:01:02 +0000 UTC View PostI was forced to keep running as the silver golem chased me and regenerated its outer panels within minutes. Faster than my Acid Shot could melt them. I needed a bigger alpha attack. For a stupid silver box on stubby block legs, it was an unstoppable jumping monster of terror.
Well,...
2022-11-07 00:00:03 +0000 UTC View PostI had made quite a lot of powder from level 3 monsters using a barrel of blood Naran had prepared. It had taken a couple of days to evaporate. But now I could finally poke the giant gray tower without feeling like I was about to sacrifice my life.

Now we were making our way to the South back to the tower grinding spot as I thought of it. While there were other places I could go to, I wanted to poke the tower and I knew exactly how to do it.

This time one of the guards in blue came up to me once we entered my building and were near the cart. “Champion Michael, permission to speak?” He saluted me. It was weird, being saluted. I knew it was a sign of respect and of authority. But it felt w...
2022-11-04 23:01:02 +0000 UTC View PostI could tell Clarissa was under a lot of stress. That was why I didn’t say anything. She needed to vent. There were no outlets here. Well there were, gambling and prostitution, but I didn’t think she enjoyed either of those things as an outlet. For me it was pouring my focus into my research ...
2022-11-04 23:00:05 +0000 UTC View PostA good portion of my home on the first floor had been turned into a communal dining area. I sat on a comfortable chair with dragon motifs in the wood with my own table. The rest of the people got benches. Except for Naran and Clarissa, they both had chairs next to me.

2022-11-03 23:01:01 +0000 UTC View PostI walked back to my home, Clarissa at my side. “So, why wait to bring up the issue with Union taxes until that moment? I am not blind.” I asked Clarissa.
The silence stretched on for a bit, before she responded. “Laura is being difficult. I had been hoping to resolve the issue without...

2022-11-02 23:01:00 +0000 UTC View PostThe next three swords were finished with the brown slime crafting crystals. I began to inspect them one by one. The active enchanted sword first. It didn’t do anything, and I couldn’t activate the enchantment, since it needed channeling, whatever that was. Not surprising. The ability was incr...
2022-11-01 23:01:02 +0000 UTC View PostI returned to the Enchanting Hall and the leadership council quickly began to gather. Each enchanting table was the size of a decently sized fold out table, the same as the standard table size purchased for buildings. The portion in the middle had eight indentations and an indented circle in the ...
2022-11-01 23:00:04 +0000 UTC View PostI raced through the streets, enjoying my speed and how easy it was to move. It was rare that I just ran like this without having to worry about something. I noted I was moving on the front portions of my feet, rather than the back.
That was a change that had happened over time. Now it felt ...
2022-10-31 23:01:02 +0000 UTC View PostI immediately got information directly inserted into my brain. Not creepy at all. I took a moment to process what I had learned, and the options presented.

2022-10-29 23:01:00 +0000 UTC View PostI was ahead of the curve. At least for now. Currently I could grind out a level 3 monsters at a rate of around 7 minutes. The main limiting factor was my Regeneration stat at 300, only giving me 3 energy every minute. That was about 60,000 points per day with the level 3 crystals giving 450 point...
