Randidly gritted his teeth and forced his gaze to follow along with the words on the page of the diary.
All resist the Phantom, for they know, he steps in the wake of death, like a shadow.
And as Randidly read the words, it was there. Or rather, he. After hearing ...

After mocking the male spear attendant a while more, Helen moved off to the side. There had been a strange feeling when she had dodged his attack. A fluidity and grace that almost seemed like a movement similar to the three she already had. Then she smiled at her own foolishness. A 4th move...

“So anyway, while his one son was slowly being warped by exposure to the Devourer, and the other was growing up with a barely present father, Aemont continued to fight on the frontlines. And he won, and won, and won. Perhaps the story wouldn’t have ended so tragically otherwise but… A...

Randidly got up to the deck and went to the far side, keeping as much space between him and the crazy ones throwing armor at people swimming the water. Around 30 minutes later, as they continued dumping items, something inside of him relaxed, and mana began to pool within him once more. Aft...

Randidly burned with shame. He didn’t understand the value of a life…? Wasn’t this all because Shal had made him swear to stick with him through this process…? Wasn’t all of this the repayment of his debt…?
So when Shal came, violence in his eyes, Randidly responded in kin...

That was the real change, Randidly slowly realized, as their fight continued. The Yeti’s strength had increased by a factor of 5, but that could be explained by having access to a greater portion of his actual stats and skill levels. After all, the attacks were faster, but its speed hadn...

Randidly grimaced. He fucking hated the cold. And this was not the invigorating cold of Aether, this was a restrictive, controlling cold that tried to devour him, frost beginning to form in restrictive waves on his body.
As it did so, it began harder to move, but then a skill deep wit...

Randidly stood in the shadows at the edge of the villa area with the mustached man. He had asked his name earlier, but the man had been completely silent. In fact, now that Randidly thought about it, he didn't’ think he had ever heard the man speak. So they stood silently, waiting.

His idea was a simple one, and both Shal and Marco were intrigued by the prospect. And, because they really didn’t have any other choice, they decided to run with it; to use the descent of the Judgement as a distraction to escape.
Marco seemed to want to ask a lot of questions about...

But there really didn’t seem like there was anything that he could do. The golden gates blocked his path, and the reward advised him that he couldn’t survive that way. Perhaps it was just making extra sure that he understood that wasn’t the way he should go…?

It really was only a month, but Shal forced him to remain calm for a month. It was annoying at first, but as Randidly let go of the shame, this month really let him focus on mastering his increasingly high Control and Focus stats. Where those didn’t boost his damage in quite the same way ...
