Jake’s attention was firmly on the two newcomers, especially the scrawny-looking man. He was thin, pale, wore glasses, and even in D-grade, he still looked like someone who...
2022-05-08 15:16:58 +0000 UTC View PostJake walked with Carmen towards the large gate with two guards out front. The two guards had clearly already seen them and noticed the black mask on Carmen and Jake wearing his own rather unique mask. Both were identifiers that they were guests of Paradise and likely wealthy individuals, which al...
2022-05-06 07:09:36 +0000 UTC View PostJake and Carmen sat on the balcony and looked out over the city. Jake saw the mansion in question as Carmen also stared intently. Due to the enchantments placed on the construction, everything was vague, and he could only barely see some people moving within. When he didn’t focus, that is. A bi...
2022-05-05 07:14:34 +0000 UTC View PostJake had not talked that much with Sultan recently. He knew the merchant was still busy and operating out of Haven while making liberal use of the teleportation network. In fact, he had been a pushing force to integrate more cities into the network and establish more connections with factions lik...
2022-05-04 07:16:59 +0000 UTC View PostAh, gambling.
Who doesn’t love gambling? Well, okay, many people don’t like gambling due to the innate predatory nature of the practice and its proneness to exploiting and preying on those with addictive personalities. So, in fairness, gambling was actually more an epidemic that ruined ...
2022-05-03 07:13:58 +0000 UTC View Post”It looks pretty normal,” Jake said as he looked down at the city known as Paradise. ”Very well-defended too.”
”The question is if those walls and barriers are to keep monsters out or the people in,” Peter said with a frown.
”Perhaps a bit of both,” Carmen added.

Hello there. Just a reminder that I will go on a 2-week break in May from the 9th-23rd. This effectively means a bit more than half the usual chapters for the month, with two full weeks (and 2 days) of regular releases (including the first week of May, s...
2022-04-29 07:16:27 +0000 UTC View PostJake and Carmen stood outside of the small brick house. It looked cheaply built, which made sense as this was squarely in the slums of Puddlerock. Apparently, many of those who lived there had been exiled from Saint-something island due to breaking some of their stupid Holy Church rules. Or maybe...
2022-04-28 07:11:22 +0000 UTC View PostJake woke up the next morning to a bird nipping at his hair. Sylphie clearly hadn’t been able to sleep as long as he had – assuming she had slept at all – and had gotten bored. Shaking his head to get her off by scooping her up as she put on a fake struggle.
“You’re a little bully...
2022-04-27 07:10:58 +0000 UTC View PostCarmen knew she had messed up when she accidentally spilled a bit too much to the snake and ended up offending it. She was ready to use the talisman she had prepared to hopefully temporarily distract the snake enough for them to make an escape, but she was relieved when the snake said it would st...
2022-04-26 07:08:52 +0000 UTC View PostJake stared up at the white snake that, in turn, regarded him, waiting for an answer to its question. It had mentioned something about a Forefather, and the hamster wheel in Jake’s mind spun as he put two and two together… the snake had to be talking about the Malefic Viper. It did confuse hi...
2022-04-25 07:13:47 +0000 UTC View PostJake’s attachment to archery didn’t exactly stem from anything logical. Sure, one could argue the fact that his Bloodline gave Perception made it an obvious choice, but Perception was a stat highly beneficial to nearly all classes and professions. Heck, Arnold had said himself that Perception...
2022-04-22 06:19:59 +0000 UTC View PostFrogs in all shapes and sizes, birds that ambushed with pecks nearly as fast as Jake’s arrows, and a plethora of other annoying animals hounded Jake, Sylphie, and Carmen as they made their way deeper into the mangrove. The first frogs they encountered were a good indicator of what they would fa...
2022-04-21 02:53:52 +0000 UTC View PostEarth had some damn beautiful vistas after the system arrived. Grand forests with multi-colored trees, endless sprawling plains with groups of deer jumping across them, passing tens of meters with every single leap.
Jake, Sylphie, and Carmen traveled through this land as they kept a good pa...
2022-04-20 09:20:22 +0000 UTC View PostWas it a sign of intelligence to willingly kill yourself to try and take down your would-be killers with you? It was undoubtedly a sign of ego and proof the Earth Elemental Prima had been no simple-minded creature. Calling it smart would perhaps be a bit too much, but it certainly did have some l...
2022-04-19 09:23:23 +0000 UTC View PostMartial artists had a long history of chopping down on stones – or tiles - to show off how strong they were. Now, this wasn’t actually the martial artist having tougher hands than the tile but just someone that took advantage of physics and generally weakly-constructed and brittle tiles to ma...
2022-04-18 09:10:11 +0000 UTC View PostSultan stood in the old ruins of what had once been Ambermill as he looked at the departing former citizens. Four large barges able to accommodate every person had been brought from the Fort and would help transport them all back to the settlement.
He had been asked by Miranda to go to Ambe...
2022-04-15 09:11:32 +0000 UTC View PostThere were few kinds of people in this world Carmen hated. Scratch that, there were a lot of people she hated, but some she hated far more than others. Towards the top of that last was anyone who reminded her of a certain someone. Someone who relied solely on their status, their family or backing...
2022-04-14 09:12:27 +0000 UTC View Post”So, Arnold, what made you decide to get blessed and enter a pact with some sort of otherworldly being of the void that usually turns people insane merely by laying their eyes upon it?”
Jake had barely entered the sphere of metal and made his way to the mad scientist before he popped th...
2022-04-13 09:11:24 +0000 UTC View PostVilastromoz made sure Jake had safely passed through the void and back to his planet before he regarded the being before him. Today had been a stark reminder that even with all of his preparations, there existed beings in the multiverse that could circumvent them.
The Viper had used several...

2022-04-11 09:14:23 +0000 UTC View PostMeira went over some material from her latest lesson as she gazed towards the mansion. Sir had said he would be around less, but she had believed he insinuated he would leave the Order to return to his own universe, not this.
He had entered the laboratory and then just stayed there after gi...
2022-04-08 00:18:09 +0000 UTC View PostJake had asked for alchemical ingredients with hemotoxin properties as well as those with blood affinity. Most blood affinity ingredients were easily translated into products with hemotoxin properties, making it an ideal material to use. The other function of the blood affinity was in Blood Potio...
2022-04-07 07:44:49 +0000 UTC View Post”This one too?” a large vampire asked as he lifted a coat hanger very carefully.
“Definitely that one,” Fairleigh said as he nodded.
“Where to stash the tablecloths?” another vampire inquired.
“Set the tables like they used to be on the seventeenth picture.”
<... 2022-04-06 07:35:01 +0000 UTC View PostJake had many questions and doubts as he stood before the vampire. First of all, why was the Patriarch of the Nalkar Family there, and not just some lower-level leader? Heck, why was there a leader to begin with? Even if Jake assumed the vampires just placed a lot of importance on history and lin...
2022-04-05 07:51:28 +0000 UTC View PostAh, vampires. If any race had been truly marginalized and suppressed throughout the history of the multiverse, it was them. The Risen and Holy Church both hated them, and most humans, elves, and other humanoids also weren’t fans due to the racial skills they possessed.
For a good reason t...
2022-04-04 07:40:25 +0000 UTC View PostJake spent the rest of the World Congress checking in with the Sword Saint to tell him that Reika was doing fine at the Order and just chatted with a few people. He had expected Arthur to talk to him at some point, but it never happened. Jacob’s dad had approached nearly every other faction but...
