Thousands of lasers the width of a pencil spun around the room, cutting through it at intense speed and power. Every single person in Jake’s party summoned their best defenses or tried to dodge, as Sylphie turned her entire body into wind to resist most of the damage.

What’s more, this steam had some of the concepts from the mist in the labyrinths infused into it, meaning that within a second, he had severely limited the sense of everyone. Well, everyone...
2023-05-29 10:48:25 +0000 UTC View PostMinaga had been pretty honest from the get-go when he talked about the floors after his city floor. They had indeed just been the same setup over and over again, with ever-increasing difficulty. The difficulty actually reached a level where Jake and the others had to get serious, especially in th...
2023-05-26 10:45:33 +0000 UTC View PostThe rest of the thirty-sixth floor proved relatively trivial as Jake and company soon completed the entire thing and entered the in-between room. There had indeed only been six rooms and their accompanying labyrinths, but when they arrived at the break room, he was a bit disappointed at seeing th...
2023-05-25 10:48:53 +0000 UTC View PostAfter the fun bantering with Minaga, they arrived at room number four, and finally, the difficulty seemed to have increased. At least it said this would be hard.
1. Traps (Hard)
2. Collection (Medium)
3. Combat (Medium)
A labyrinth was a labyrinth, no big way to really change that. Minaga hadn’t tried either, as they once more found themselves walking through winding hallways of mist, following after Jake, who had a nice mental map in his head. The difference this time around was that there was a ”correct”...
2023-05-23 10:41:33 +0000 UTC View PostJake analyzed the structure as he noticed several errors in it. This structure in question looked like a large square building, at least twenty stories tall and made of pure mana. It was hardened and reminiscent of Jake’s stable arcane mana, but it was indeed just pure mana formed into a shape ...
2023-05-22 10:41:40 +0000 UTC View PostJake was left alone in the meeting room, pondering his conversation with that absolute madman, Eron.
Some rules of the system were known to be absolute… and the line between mortality and immortality was one of them. It was a fundamental law for a reason and one that had never been broken...

The planet he now found himself on was a bit cooler than the one he had been born on, but not by a large degree. He had feared that the environment would have been unfriendly when he was informed they had been ”gifted”...
2023-05-18 10:41:40 +0000 UTC View PostJake got quite varied reactions from the different people in the room upon joking with Minaga. Casper smirked slightly, Carmen gave the Unique Lifefrom a friendly wave, Caleb looked a bit worried, Maria was still not entirely over the guy just popping into the room, and Jacob looked more confused...
2023-05-17 10:52:14 +0000 UTC View PostHello there.
Been a while since I did a post giving a general update on the state of things, so I guess I will do that now. That it happens to coincide with the 2023-05-17 10:50:51 +0000 UTC View Post
“Earth?” Jake questioned as he responded to Eron. ”Pretty sure it’s still there. Was the last time I checked. Speaking of, how did you even leave the ninety-third universe? The Dao Sect does not strike me as the kind of faction to have blessed beasts capable of setting up a formation capa...

2023-05-12 10:39:25 +0000 UTC View PostTeleportation was no doubt the preferred method of long-distance travel in the multiverse. It did have some problems, like requiring a teleportation circle at both the target location and where you teleported from, making it less than ideal as an exploratory tool. One needed to know where one wan...

Several deadly strikes flew out as sh...
2023-05-09 10:42:06 +0000 UTC View PostJake and company had visited many city floors before and knew what to expect. Except, this was not a normal city floor. This one was made by Minaga, and the Unique Lifeform had already warned them this place would be special. A special floor made by a special guy.
Upon their immediate arriv...
2023-05-08 10:20:37 +0000 UTC View PostThe thirty-fifth floor had been the first one to truly push their party. It had also been the most fun, in Jake’s opinion.

2023-05-05 10:39:42 +0000 UTC View Post“Now.”
Instantly, their entire party shifted their movements. The Sword Saint retreated back as Sylphie summoned a tornado that completely sealed the movements of the sword. At the same time, roots appeared from below and slithered up the legs of the boss as the Fallen King thr...
2023-05-04 10:36:05 +0000 UTC View PostJake ignored all the happenings around him for the most part, though it was a bit distracting with the flashing golden lights, giant raincloud, and what sounded like a category-five tornado. The Demon Lord also clearly noticed his summoned help was being pressured and was several times about to g...
2023-05-03 10:29:19 +0000 UTC View PostDealing with adds – short for additionals or enemies that one had to fight alongside the boss - in any kind of encounter was always a bit annoying.

2023-05-01 10:21:21 +0000 UTC View PostA sudden burst of heat hit Jake as he stepped out of the gateway and appeared on the thirty-fifth floor. One thing was already different about this floor from any of those prior: there was no difficulty selection with Minaga. Instead, they had appeared already within the Demon Lord’s castle. 2023-04-28 10:31:29 +0000 UTC View Post
Jake and company finally stepped out of the thirty-fourth floor after what to him felt like weeks. In reality, it had not even been a week, but the entire ordeal had been quite mentally taxing.
Once more, they found themselves in the in-between room designed by Minaga, and Jake was more tha...
