A dozen or so meters away from the hive entrance laid the corpse of a recently slain Fisher. Aegis and his party had taken it out, then dragged the body close to the entrance of the hive and left it there. Aegis, Rakkan, Snowflake, Lina and Darkshot all hung far back under the cover of the Reltra...
2023-03-28 10:01:00 +0000 UTC View Post“Cleanup time.” Darkshot said as he began firing multishots again. With the refresh on his mana, he was able to unleash a torrent of piercing shots that swept through the cavern. With a few redirects he was able to spread the damage to the weakened, singed swarm and finish them off. They drop...
2023-03-27 10:00:05 +0000 UTC View Post“What’s with the ridiculous viewership spike? They're not even in the hive yet.” Shinji asked through the Simbox call he had open with Tommy. He was frantically waving his fingers around, editing the live footage of Aegis’ battle with the Mosmir soldiers just before the Voidreaver had app...
2023-03-26 10:00:01 +0000 UTC View Post“So, guys…” Aegis walked over towards Snowflake’s resting spot in the middle of the streets of Pakro’Vielle. Standing around him, waiting patiently stood Pyri, Lina, Rakkan, and Darkshot with Darkwing on his shoulder.
“How are you the last one back? They literally read a book in...
2023-03-25 11:00:01 +0000 UTC View PostDarkshot, Aegis, Lina, and Snowflake walked through the streets of Pakro’Vielle together, taking in the sights. The large towering mushrooms hung over them no matter where they stood, to the point where it was rare that you could look up and see the actual ceiling of the cavern. They’d taken ...
2023-03-24 11:00:02 +0000 UTC View Post“State your business, other-worlders.” One of the guards shouted aggressively at Aegis while nudging his spear forward in a threatening manner. Aegis took this time to look over the guards and his surroundings quickly to assess the situation.
All of the guards had [Pakro’Viell...
2023-03-23 11:00:03 +0000 UTC View PostNot far from the acidic river, Aegis had set up a small stone altar beside the statue of the strange creature that they’d recovered from the water. His party had cleared out a small area around them of moss, constructing a campfire to keep Snowflake and Darkwing warm in the cold underrealm air....
2023-03-22 11:01:00 +0000 UTC View PostAs much as Aegis’ party would've liked to say that the following three weeks in-game flew by, they did not. Killing Mosstrappers over and over again using the exact same strategy got dreadfully boring and repetitive towards the end, even for Aegis.
Use a lure, group up the enemies, kite t...
2023-03-21 11:00:02 +0000 UTC View PostThe Mosstrapper scurried up towards Rakkan on the ramp but Aegis moved to stand in front of it. While bashing his shield into its head to get its attention, he released a burst of white light to activate his aura of beauty.
“Avatar of Eirene.” Aegis shouted, erupting into an explosion o...
2023-03-20 11:00:03 +0000 UTC View Post“Aye, you said you want how much rope?” Tullan looked at Lina with a raised eyebrow the following morning. She, Pyri and Aegis stood in front of the Night Hunter’s market stall in the town square of Rene.
The stage from the previous night of festivities had been cleaned up, and the me...
2023-03-19 11:00:02 +0000 UTC View PostFrom the remains of Krik’lakgoth the Devourer had fallen several pouches filled with gold, many tendrils for crafting, and two high quality items, both above 80%. One of the items was a scepter, and the other was set of black slimy robes that had an interesting option that made the wearer diffi...
2023-03-18 11:00:07 +0000 UTC View Post“Peace of Mind!” Miranda shouted. Aegis turned to see that she had used a monk skill to break free of the mind control effect from the boss. As she had, the tendril linking her to the purple orb disconnected and disappeared. Aegis then turned his attention to Sapphire in the cage, under contr...
2023-03-17 11:00:03 +0000 UTC View PostRakkan’s memory of the former Darxon Hideout’s lower hallways served them well. They only made one wrong turn in their search for the door that led out into the large open cavern underneath the mountain, with a river flowing quickly towards the cliff that transitioned it into a waterfall. Aeg...
2023-03-16 11:00:01 +0000 UTC View PostNot long after the Wall of Rene had been completed and the crowd broke up and dissolved within the city, Aegis gathered his four party members in the town hall and had everyone take a seat at the round table, not immediately aware of why Aegis had brought them there. Once everyone was seated, tho...
2023-03-15 11:00:02 +0000 UTC View Post“So.” Aegis spoke to Celestian and Farlion as they sat across the round table from him in the Rene town hall that afternoon. Aegis’s stream was still turned off, and he made the rounds around the room to close the dark blue curtains on all of the windows, then made sure the door was securel...
2023-03-14 11:00:03 +0000 UTC View Post“Here ya go, the first shipment of stone. More are on the way.” Tullan called out to Aegis as he was working on the framework for the walls of Rene on the western side of the village. Ruffily, Yuki, Darkshot, Rakkan, Amlie, Princess Savika and quite a few other players and NPCs were working a...
2023-03-13 11:00:02 +0000 UTC View Post“This thing is fricken awesome. God damn. This might be one of the strongest bows ever crafted.” Darkshot said as he held his new ironwood bow in his hand. It was made of the dark brown wood with a thickly woven bowstring made of Shadowsilk that Aegis had bought from Yuki.
“I asked Tr...
2023-03-12 11:00:03 +0000 UTC View Post“So,” Erikson said as he sat at the round table within the town hall of Rene that following morning. Sitting with him were Aegis, Josephine, Amlie, Ruffily, Pyri, Yuki, Clara, Celestian, Farlion, Chax, Lina, Darkshot, Rakkan, and Princess Savika. Everyone on the council was present. “In the...
2023-03-11 11:00:03 +0000 UTC View PostThe Beulgadine beast let out a strange cry that sounded like a mix between a dolphin and a howling wolf, baring its fangs towards the land of Rene. Once it had, the Gnolls behind it all let out their own battlecries, sounding eerily similar to the hyenas they resembled. Following that, with the m...
2023-03-10 11:00:03 +0000 UTC View Post“How much time do we have, Lina?” Aegis called up to her.
“Uh, I’m not sure… they’re forming up at the treeline. They’re not charging yet, they might be waiting for nightfall, gnolls get damage bonuses at night.” Lina explained, causing Aegis to look up at the setting sun. 2023-03-09 11:00:02 +0000 UTC View Post
The party of five traveled with their new pets along the road over the next day, making a short pitstop in Orm before finishing their journey towards Rene. Along the way, Aegis and Pyri were sure to continue their unarmed combat training. Darkshot was so thankful for the news of having a dreamsta...
2023-03-08 11:00:03 +0000 UTC View PostAegis logged back into the gameworld that evening just as the virtual sun was setting. He was standing near the southern gates of Kordas exactly where he had logged out, but no one of his party was anywhere near him. He saw that they were all online, though, and all still within the city.

They were moving at simulation speed four, standing around in what looked to be a modern coffee shop with no other customers or people around. Eli hadn’t met Tommy before, but he l...
2023-03-06 11:00:04 +0000 UTC View Post“Ahhh…” Darkshot stretched out his arms as the party walked into the shadows cast by the walls surrounding Kordas. “It’s good to be back.” he added. The sun sat securely in the middle of the cloudy sky that afternoon, and as they approached the gates they heard the familiar sounds of ...
2023-03-05 11:00:03 +0000 UTC View Post“RUN, NOW!” Aegis shouted as he clutched the book tightly to his chest, wrapping his arms around it. He was more concerned with protecting it than himself. No one needed to be told twice, the five of them took off running towards the gate of the courtyard as large and small droplets of ooze b...
2023-03-04 11:00:04 +0000 UTC View Post“Okay guys.” Aegis paced behind the party as they stood in one of the upper hallways of the Castle of Kolz. To their left was a giant hole in the wall that allowed bright sunlight to shine down on them. Looking outside the hole as Aegis paced, he could see they were on the third floor of the ...
2023-03-03 11:00:02 +0000 UTC View PostBefore the party stood the barren courtyard of the ruined castle of Kolz. While the ground was at one point made of paved brick paths, they’d been overtaken by patches of grass, weeds and moss. Vines, bushes and other forms of vegetation had found its way into the corners and were dangling down...

Rakkan unequipped his longsword and put his spear in his left hand, then tapped it with his right hand to create an echo copy of it. Aegis saw what he was thinking, and quickly touched Rakkan’s shoulder to give him a bless buff. Then, with the echoed spear, Rakkan threw it at the ooze that was ...
2023-03-01 11:02:01 +0000 UTC View Post“Sorry about that, Hae-won, we just needed a quick group discussion in private.” Aegis declared once he’d turned his livestream back on that following morning.
