The Travellers had made their camp maybe six kilometers from the arachnid-area, so after a short flight, Lenore and I were able to get there. What we saw made both of us pause in confusion, as Lenore circled above the area. For some reason, things had changed in the few days we had been away, the...
2021-07-07 16:01:04 +0000 UTC View PostAN: Early Chapter, thanks to me mucking up the scheduling.
The night, and day after, were a lot more interesting than that first day. What annoyed me was that the first truly interesting thing happened when I had been logged out, editing a video-clip, taking a shower and gett...
2021-07-05 12:04:22 +0000 UTC View PostAs expected, Sigmir hadn’t been too happy when I told her that Lenore and I would have to check something out two days later. Even that was a bit of a concession on my part, estimated from the place I had seen the Traveller-group the day before and assumed that we travelled at our fastest pace,...
2021-07-02 16:01:04 +0000 UTC View PostDespite my wishes, night didn’t immediately start to fall once Lenore and I reunited with the others. There had to be some magic spell for that, maybe if I played a song on an Ocarina, but until I managed to get there, I would have to wait for Mundus to shade us from the sun. So, deprived of th...
2021-06-30 16:00:10 +0000 UTC View PostIt took Lenore and me a little longer than expected to make our way back towards Ladrin, as Lenore wasn’t quite willing to push as hard as possible again. Apparently, the feeling of soreness wasn’t too pleasant. Instead, I took over some of the time, practising my ninja-run skills as I leapt ...
2021-06-28 16:00:10 +0000 UTC View PostThe weave of magic that covered the hillside before us was a work of art, there were no two ways about it. It made me want to go back to Neyto, simply to sit there for a year or five, slowly and carefully unravelling what the Grandmother had crafted, just to see how her work looked. Back then, I ...
2021-06-25 16:00:11 +0000 UTC View PostA strange feeling of loss started to well up within me, when I woke up, driving away the comfort I had felt during my dreams. She was far from me again, after I had been so close to her in my dreams. The memories of my dreams were a little vague, blurry, but I could remember sitting with Sigmir a...
2021-06-23 16:00:09 +0000 UTC View PostFollowing the process I had used the last time, when I visited the edge of Space in the Astral, I let myself flow up one of the streams of power. In many ways, nothing much had changed since that last time. I had an easier time navigating and was able to get a glimpse of the deeper layers of the ...
2021-06-21 16:00:08 +0000 UTC View PostFinding something interesting in the mountains proved to be difficult. Sure, Lenore and I managed to spot a couple monsters that might be powerful enough to put up a fight, one or two that would require the whole party to work together, but just finding them from the air didn’t mean we actually...
2021-06-18 16:00:10 +0000 UTC View PostIt was almost as good as flying. But only almost.
After spending the night in a tree to sleep, Lenore was still sore from pushing herself a little too far when the next morning came, while I was physically fine, with only a bit of magical exhaustion. With that in mind, we decided to see wha...
2021-06-16 16:00:08 +0000 UTC View PostAs expected, Sigmir was conflicted when I suggested she should head into town with the others. She could easily understand why I didn’t want to head into town, having seen my troubles with civilization from the start and I could see that she was curious about cities, having heard some of her fa...
2021-06-14 16:00:04 +0000 UTC View PostOnce again, Lenore and I were flying above the others, scouting the way forward. Not that there was a lot to see, we had spotted a pack of wolves earlier but they had been more interested in getting as far away from Lenore’s shadow as possible, running like frightened hares. Not that I blamed t...
2021-06-11 16:01:02 +0000 UTC View PostFor most of the morning, we moved relatively slowly, keeping a pace at which we could comfortably talk. Most of the talking was done by Olivia, who systematically described the two possible routes we could take and what she knew about them.
It was quite entertaining to listen, especially si...
2021-06-09 16:05:16 +0000 UTC View PostMy muscles still sore and tired from the training Mrs. Wu had put me through, I slipped back into the capsule, letting out a sigh of relief at the relaxation. If nothing else, the soft, cushiony memory-foam inlay of the capsule was incredibly comfortable, good enough to be marketed even without t...
2021-06-07 16:01:03 +0000 UTC View PostThe question which route to take bothered me, just a little. That it was only a little was mostly due to a lack of information, it was hard to consider which route more suitable if the only information we had was that one went through the mountains, while the other circled around them. Most likel...
2021-06-04 16:01:05 +0000 UTC View PostThe next three days were spent in an attempt to level my long-neglected Athletics-skill. Well, not really, but it might have been the idea behind our hurried flight, given that there was nothing we were actually fleeing from. But to keep the deception alive, Adra set a pace that pushed me beyond ...
2021-06-02 16:00:07 +0000 UTC View PostBy the time I was logged into Road to Purgatory again, the mundian night had passed and the others had already broken camp and returned to the road. A quick check from inside my Hallow made it obvious that they had pushed themselves hard. While Sigmir looked relatively well, likely thanks to her ...
2021-05-31 16:01:04 +0000 UTC View PostLenore’s flight-speed was markedly lower than normal. While most of the burden of the spell we had woven was born by me, she had contributed enough to exhaust herself, though not to the same level I had, leaving me with a throbbing headache, lethargy and a general unwillingness to move, speak o...

2021-05-26 16:00:07 +0000 UTC View PostAwareness could be a terrible thing. While I thought the others hadn’t noticed just yet, the lack of quest progress made it almost certain that the people we had just killed hadn’t been the bandits we were looking for. Which begged the question, who had they been?
And why had they been ...
2021-05-24 16:01:03 +0000 UTC View PostWith dense mist shrouding our position, the initial ambush was broken, those precious first few seconds in which the ambushing force could unload on the ambushed, without fear of reprisal. The moments that it took to gather your bearings and wrap your head around what was happening, while your fo...
2021-05-21 16:00:08 +0000 UTC View PostFew things were more annoying than competent enemies, especially if their area of expertise was evasion and obfuscation. After Adra had somehow managed to follow whatever mark the scouts had left on the hard ground, certainly nothing that I could detect, we ended up in another grove of trees, wit...
2021-05-19 16:01:04 +0000 UTC View PostThe next day found us bright and early, after we had spent another night in the grove Sigmir and I had camped in. We had made some plans the night before, mostly that we wouldn’t invest too much time in the search for the local bandits, while also learning more about the areas further to the we...
2021-05-17 16:01:05 +0000 UTC View PostBy the time Adra and Rai caught up to us, overall three days after our original exit from Neamov, Sigmir and I had thoroughly lost track of the score between us. Both of us had tried, and often succeeded, to come up with ways to catch or evade the other, while also breaking the tricks we had prev...
2021-05-14 16:00:09 +0000 UTC View PostSomehow, this was not the way I had originally wanted to exhaust myself with Sigmir.
With a sigh, I pushed myself off the ground, looking at Sigmir, who looked down on my wiped-out form with a look between amusement and apology. Given that she had just used her shield to remind me why jumpi...
2021-05-12 16:01:04 +0000 UTC View PostBy the time the banging in my head had stopped and we made our way to the small grove, the person who had hid out within was long gone. But while the person was gone, some tracks of their presence remained, giving Sigmir and me some clues to their status. The most obvious hint was their original ...
2021-05-10 16:00:09 +0000 UTC View PostBy the time I logged back into the game, a few hours had passed and what greeted me, perceiving the world around Lenore, was a road surrounded by fields. The only one nearby was Sigmir, carrying Lenore on her shoulder.
“Welcome back.” Lenore told me, once my mind was fully aware.

2021-05-03 16:00:08 +0000 UTC View PostThanks to the power of magic, Adra and Rai looked quite well by the time Sigmir knocked on the door, washed up and ready to head down to breakfast. She was rather amused when I opened the door for her, especially when I narrated the scene I had witnessed earlier. Adra, on the other hand, was less...
