I get into the bunker where I find the asshole in the room with the core where he examines the giant mana crystal pillar. As I enter, I feel his senses touch me, and he turns his attention to me.

2024-03-03 09:07:09 +0000 UTC View PostClonthaniel is skilled, very much so. I watch the way he moves his mana through his body. He uses [Regalia] to create a core exactly in the middle of his chest behind the ribs.

2024-03-01 14:58:11 +0000 UTC View PostIt takes me almost an entire day. I spend the rest of the mana conductive paint, putting it on the mirror, floor, and on my body.

This one feels much more powerful if that is the right word to use. There are inscriptions that are able to take any mana that touches the door and use it to strength...
2024-03-01 14:56:58 +0000 UTC View PostA day has passed. Vega is progressing nicely with her skills, and we even found some low-level monsters for her to fight. Most of them are young ones, protected by their herds. So I would just kill most of the group and have my pocket half-demon deal with the rest.
Each of the fights are da...
2024-03-01 14:56:39 +0000 UTC View PostEven though the monster sleeps so far away, I block Vega's mouth with my hand. It's irrational and straight-up silly. There is no way the monster could be woken up so easily. It's just that there is still that little “what if?”

When the night comes, someone knocks on the door. Stopping my training, I also poke Vega and head towards the door. When I open it, the man stands there, neatly dressed and holding two sets of clothes on hangers.
“Your clothes, Mister Gwyn, Miss Vega,” he hands them to me as if not even...
2024-02-27 08:54:44 +0000 UTC View PostIs Vega catching too many things from me? Sure, I noticed her copying a bit of my behavior, but this is… too much.
Maybe it's her demon part? Demons seem to be obsessed with strong hearts or strong beings. Maybe she identified me as one of such and instinctually copies me to become a bit ...
2024-02-26 08:21:39 +0000 UTC View PostDarren warned me before to be careful approaching the Bastion. Apparently, some of its old defenses still work and are powerful enough to kill even higher-leveled monsters or humans. There is even a rumor that it once defended against a Veil Guardian. Yup, there are multiple Veil Guardians, and t...
2024-02-25 08:55:55 +0000 UTC View PostThe primary class for us was unlocked after entering the second floor. For me, it was around level 24, if I remember correctly. Vega got offered hers at level 20.

She got offered only 5 classes, un...
2024-02-22 08:27:56 +0000 UTC View PostThe group of ten or so people, including Darren and Nina, waits for me near the facility that Vega and I were using. Even though most of them seem happy, there is some weird awkwardness in their smiles. It deepens even more when I reach them.
Before Darren says anything, I interrupt him wit...
2024-02-21 08:40:33 +0000 UTC View PostTaking a few steps, I reach the open circular iron door that leads to the facility, and from where I stand, I look towards the city that is in a half-spherical cave.
As I noticed before, there are plenty of buildings that seem much older than the others. They are most likely the original bu...

For a moment, we look at each other. Two men in a small white room covered in blood, with boxes full of bloody limbs in the corner. Keeping an eye on him, I find a somewhat clean spot and sit on the floor, resting my back against the wall.
And then I just sit there.

2024-02-11 09:01:15 +0000 UTC View Post“We haven’t used the tank you filled because it's too big and requires too much mana to operate. It's one of the older ones, so efficiency isn't that good.”
I listen to Darren and then answer, “Yes, I have noticed. The inscriptions were quite bad.”
He keeps staring at me. 2024-02-08 09:00:42 +0000 UTC View Post
Once again, we stand in front of the massive iron door into what I guess is a bunker, also called the Sanctuary.
Darren keeps looking between me and the pile of food and water on the ground.
