Sometimes Isaac Bird had questions for himself. Such as 'how the heck did he end up preparing to assault the land of demons alongside a massive army of ant monsters', or 'should he grow a full beard or just stick with a moustache?'.
The latter was probably not as difficult to answer as the ...
2021-07-07 07:46:34 +0000 UTC View PostBig thanks to everyone who's stuck around for another month! Hope all is well with you!
Not only do I believe the ancients to be real, but I believe they have gotten stronger, not weaker, over time. I understand the thinking behind the so-called 'cascading ma...
2021-07-06 07:12:56 +0000 UTC View PostAfter collecting a few choice cores and chowing down on Biomass, all we could really do was shrug and get back to business. Even so, I can't help but feel like this incident is going to come back and bite me in the backside somehow. At least this time I can proudly wave my antennae and declare th...
2021-07-05 08:05:59 +0000 UTC View PostAfter being hit with literally dozens of gravity bolts, the pride demon's powerful leap takes him practically nowhere, dragged back down to the ground by his own mass. How do you like that, fool! Smoked by the power of gravity! Man, I cannot wait to get my hands on that gravity skill! 2021-07-02 11:13:10 +0000 UTC View Post
Hello loves! I must say that on all of my adventures and travels, I haven't quite come across anything like what I saw in Renewal. Monsters and people? Living together in harmony? You'd think me mad if I told you that, absolutely barking! Nonetheless, as hard as it is to believe, you can trus...
2021-07-01 08:14:04 +0000 UTC View PostI make out five demons in total, judging by my mana sense, all of them tier six, thank heavens. If they'd all turned out to be a higher tier than me, we might have just been dead and buried right there. According to the information that I've managed to barter out of Al, the vast majority of demon...
2021-06-30 02:07:01 +0000 UTC View PostTravelling through the vast plains is strangely peaceful, despite the literal ocean of death and destruction happening around us at all given moments. After the first ten minutes, I kind of fell into the habit of not directing my attention downward, and all of a sudden, the endless war o...

Finally! He'd finally done it! After all this ti...
2021-06-25 11:32:54 +0000 UTC View PostThe nest was ablaze with activity, even more than usual. Since the start of the previous wave, the Colony had moved as if a fire had been lit beneath it, one put there by the Eldest member of their family. The race to expand and grow before their enemies returned to challenge them had begun and t...
2021-06-25 11:32:25 +0000 UTC View PostWith her incredibly enhanced vision, it wasn't too hard for Wills to make out the details of the demon city far, far below. Any ant who wasn't a highly evolved scout would find it impossible to see what she could, but for her, it was simple. The advantages of evolving to tier five. Being able to ...
2021-06-23 09:14:35 +0000 UTC View Post"ROOOOAAARRRRR!"
A leg shaking bellow rocks the ground, followed a moment later by a giant, winged ape leaping high into the sky before crashing back down on the road beside the building I'm on, crumbling a few walls in the process. I'm beyond caring about the property dama...
2021-06-21 10:38:54 +0000 UTC View PostIn the back of mind I worry that the king chubster himself, Grokus, might have seized the hatchling the moment she slipped away from us, to use as leverage, or just to eat, who knows? But from what I can tell, the trail leading to the little runaway doesn't lead back to the column in the centre o...
2021-06-19 12:27:07 +0000 UTC View PostI don't mind sharing with you, my dear readers, that as much as I enjoy travelling around the wonderful world in which we live, exploring its many incredible, unbelievable sights and relaying them to you in my own quirky fashion, I do miss my bed. Oh! Such comfort! Such bliss! The means with ...
2021-06-19 12:26:44 +0000 UTC View Post[A demonic existence can be reduced to a single need: obsession. There are many forms that this desire can take, almost innumerable, but every demon feels it. Provided we are given the freedom to pursue this obsession, we are largely content. Though this does not mean we are peaceful. A slaughter...

Even as I ask for the creature to show itself, it seems to blink into existence on the edge of my vision, shocking me with both its sudden appearance, and bizarre form. A giant eyeball wreathed in fier...
2021-06-15 11:51:20 +0000 UTC View Post"Get back here!" I grumble at Brilliant, "if you don't behave yourself, you're going back in the mouth!"
She freezes in the process of dashing off into the city and turns back towards us.
"Do I even fit in there anymore…?" she asks doubtfully.

I mean… he's fat. Like. Really fat. I probably shouldn't focus on that too much, considering that this demon is almost certainly seventh tier, the first that I've ever seen. But still, he's like… a mega-chonker.
Atop that bulbous mass of flesh, split through the middle with a grotesque ...
2021-06-11 11:52:25 +0000 UTC View PostMy first impression of the Renewal was somewhat mixed, I must say. Having flown from the glittering towers of Derinon, jewel of the Asla sea and metropolis of the age, the relatively humble city that lay before me was rather quaint, rustic and backward. I'm sure you, dear reader, would react ...
2021-06-11 11:51:48 +0000 UTC View PostIt's a heck of a lot easier for Brilliant to walk down the face of the pillar than it is for me, her light body proving no challenge for her claws. Tiny has a rough time of it, having to climb on the rock much like a human would, using his hands and feet to find holds, but thanks to his unbelieva...
2021-06-09 11:15:40 +0000 UTC View PostIt takes a few days, but we finally make it down here. The remnants of the wave are still visible in mana levels and spawn rates that are higher than they otherwise would be, but the never ending streams of monsters bursting from the walls of the tunnels are no longer to be found, which is nice. ...
2021-06-08 11:40:35 +0000 UTC View PostI take more time to play with my new mental setup, slowly growing accustomed to the strange feeling of having more mental power than my physical brains should be able to provide. The more I mess around with it, weaving multiple threads of mana by having one brain concentrate on two things at the ...
2021-06-07 11:05:31 +0000 UTC View PostAfter so many years and so much study, you'd think that there would be widespread agreement over the advanced aspects of the System, cooperation across kingdoms providing a deep reservoir of shared knowledge to draw from. In reality, nothing could be further from the truth. From the famed Tow...
2021-06-03 12:57:36 +0000 UTC View PostThe hatchling continues to ruminates over her choices, being far more diligent in perusing the menu lists, looking for combos and asking clarifying questions than I ever was. Not that I had anyone to ask at her stage of evolution! I was a solo Dungeon monster, dammit! Kids these days have it way ...
2021-06-02 12:32:35 +0000 UTC View Post"Are you really sure that this is going to be important?" the hatchling asks again as we munch down on some Biomass.
"Of course it is! Mutations are extremely important! Supremely important! Raw stats are only one aspect of the strength of a monster, and those are decided by evolutionary ti...
2021-06-01 12:23:33 +0000 UTC View PostCharge! Pierce!
As ridiculous as it feels, I continue to use the stupid combo of new Skills that I purchased in order to keep leveling them up. Charge is fine, in practice it's very similar to dash with the exception that now it's levelled up to rank three, it's become a proper active Skill...
2021-05-31 11:48:39 +0000 UTC View PostAfter visiting the core shapers, there isn't too much left to do. I don't want to take the hatchling in to visit mother, since she's likely to declare something rude like "I could be a way better Queen" and get her head thwacked in. By me. So I abandon that idea and instead decide that it's time ...
2021-05-28 12:02:16 +0000 UTC View PostIt does seem as though the mage ants have evolved slightly in terms of their practice regimen. In some larger areas we find something I hadn't seen them do before: squad based competition.

2021-05-26 09:21:43 +0000 UTC View PostSorry I'm late.
Having a smaller ant crawl all over my carapace is kind of ticklish and I was frankly a little glad when Smithant was finally finished with her work. I could tell she was pumped up, she was practically radiating the same level of energy as the hat...
