Luke looked around in satisfaction as he counted the number of craters in the area. To the casual eye, this place looked like the site of a scattered meteor spell. The sand had finally stopped attacking him after he let it alone to suffer for a short while, so he returned to looking over the vari...
2021-11-18 15:33:45 +0000 UTC View PostLuke spent the next few days searching the surrounding territory for Scars. On the first day he found three; a dead world, a world where everything seemed to be made out of semi-intelligent metal, and a third world that made his ‘You Need To Stop’ Skill work to keep him alive. The th...
2021-11-17 20:13:43 +0000 UTC View PostThe fact that Luke found a Scar in under an hour was a testament to how badly mangled the world was in this area. There were many theories surrounding how Scars formed naturally, the most prevalent being that they formed in high-mana areas. Luke didn’t think that applied here; not with reality ...

He wasn’t sure why Taylor was so excited about the snail shell, but he decided not to rain on her parade. Luke ran alongside his team leader, his mind on other things. Now that he had a location, he could formulate a plan of attack to get Cookie back into his hands. “The birds ...

The air thrummed like a drum being beaten to death, and the world gave way as a portal was torn open. Luke fell out of the rent in the air as it slammed shut behind him, not bothering to catch himself as he dropped to the ground. Blood pooled around him, enough that the people wa...

The Archmage-expectant rubbed at her head. Taylor almost wanted a migraine, even though those sort of weak bodily functions had vanished for her when she became an Ascender. It would at least give her an excuse to get away from the people that had been beleaguering her f...

Trekking up the mountain was actually easier than Luke had expected it to be. There were huge outcroppings, stone from previous impacts that had been driven deeply into the mountain, and even hardy vegetation that had grown over time in all the loose earth. Luke snorted at the idle thought that t...
