<Author Note>
So, this was originally two chapters... now it is one chapter the length of two. Longest one in the story by around 1000 words. Enjoy!

As with any concoction, one first needed ingredients, but of cour...
2020-11-25 18:31:07 +0000 UTC View PostThe arrow met the doe’s turning forehead, as it didn’t stop in the least upon encountering the hard skull but cut through like it was made of butter. It went through the brain and, because of the upwards angle it was shot from, into the beast’s neck. There, it went through its throat and ou...
2020-11-25 15:55:16 +0000 UTC View PostJake clenched his fists together, feeling the strength in his clasp. He felt invigorated. Without a doubt, stemming from the massive influx of stats and the new skill.
Funnily enough, this was the first skill he had ever unlocked that didn’t come with a single ounce of knowledge. Usually,...
2020-11-24 15:37:35 +0000 UTC View PostJake dismissed his bow as the stag fell to the ground, never to move again. The fights with the beasts had only gotten more comfortable as he got accustomed to all their tactics and fighting styles. In the end, they were just beasts, making their strategies repetitive and straightforward. It had ...
2020-11-23 15:16:05 +0000 UTC View PostThe entire hall was tense as they all saw the ever-so-proud Tortaros turn to nothing. The man died without even knowing what had happened. A sentiment that made a shiver go down the spine of every single branch leader as they knelt a bit lower than before.
“Well, that guy was annoying,”...
2020-11-22 16:02:35 +0000 UTC View PostAround the same time Jake entered his second challenge dungeon, the Lucenti Plains, so were major things happening in the Order of the Malefic Viper.
All the branch leaders had finally gathered. For the first time since the coronation of Viridia, the Order had gathered in one place.
O...
2020-11-22 15:58:57 +0000 UTC View PostThe otherwise peaceful pond was now disturbed by blood and dead beasts - a situation that seemed to not sit well with the Great White Stag as it slowly walked in.
Jake was a bit more than a hundred meters away at this point, as he observed from a small hill. His head barely popped up to the...
2020-11-22 15:53:44 +0000 UTC View PostThe wait was short as he heard the sound of cloven hooves hitting the ground. Soon he saw a group of deer approach the pond, just like all the others had. But the fate of these beasts would not be just another peaceful drink.
He had already prepared his arrows with poison aplenty, and his r...
2020-11-19 15:51:05 +0000 UTC View PostThe path up to the mountain wasn’t as easily traversed as he had hoped. Unlike the badger valley, he didn’t find any easily accessible way forward.
Instead, he was met with a wall of stone – a steep cliffside. He tried climbing it a few times but quickly found that his climbing skills...

2020-11-19 15:42:43 +0000 UTC View PostJake was enjoying his trip towards the next mountain quite a bit, though he had a faint suspicion his current prey didn't.
The raptor struggled and writhed as it was held down by its throat. Its assailant's second hand didn't give it time to muster a response before it brought down a knife-...

2020-11-17 15:56:18 +0000 UTC View PostHis eyes snapped open as the remnants of the dream left him. But unlike normal dreams, he could remember every single detail vividly.
Jumping out of bed, he threw it back into his necklace along with everything else. Right now, Jake was in a really shitty mood.
He was angry. And sadly...
2020-11-16 16:19:27 +0000 UTC View PostSmiling in satisfaction, Jake got out two empty bottles. Usually, a batch such as this would quickly fill four or five bottles, but the first creation’s output wasn’t exactly good. He had taken a long time doing the crafting and had thus evaporated a lot of the concoction. But it was kind of ...
2020-11-16 16:15:56 +0000 UTC View PostJacob felt a bit of excitement for the first time in quite a while reading his notifications. He had barely opened any of the system menus for weeks, and when he did, he only did so to either check the tutorial panel or his stamina. But now things had changed, as he had perhaps finally found a pa...
2020-11-15 15:57:10 +0000 UTC View PostPrivate tutors since he could barely walk, expensive private schools, and a support system surrounding him made up of the best money could buy. Graduated top of his class, got into the best university, and once more proved himself excellent, being at the top once more.
He had been in the pa...
2020-11-15 15:52:12 +0000 UTC View PostBy now, it was officially confirmed. The system loved long and annoying, pointless tunnels forcing you to walk for way longer than was reasonable.
He had been walking for thirty minutes by now. The light behind him was no longer visible, while he didn't see anything in front of him either. ...
2020-11-14 15:35:27 +0000 UTC View PostThe newly gained Infused Powershot shot the arrow at an unprecedented speed as it hit the Alpha Venomfang Badger right in its midsection. The powerful attack tore straight through the beast's body as it exited out the other way, piercing any vital organ in the way.
Jake was overjoyed at his...
2020-11-13 15:52:39 +0000 UTC View PostJake focused on the threads of mana as he supplied mana through every one of them. One of them reached towards his battered cloak, which had been nearly completely destroyed, again, after the latest fight where he finally took down the last of the badger groups, leaving only the Alpha left.
<Author note>
Sorry for the lack of chapters. I wanted to post more, but RR has got me in the slump again.

Jake could feel that both his mana and stamina were reasonable despite the many Shadow Vaults. His quiver w...
2020-11-12 14:08:13 +0000 UTC View PostThere was little in his way as he made his way up the path. He was walking on a slightly elevated hill, with a valley on each side as he ran at a brisk pace. A pace that could easily have allowed him to overtake some cars.
The road was steep, but it seemed almost… unnaturally made. Jake d...
2020-11-11 14:53:23 +0000 UTC View PostBy now, the entire valley was thoroughly cleaned up. Herbs, lockboxes, even beasts were all gone. It had taken hours, and the sun had gone down quite a while ago, but Jake was more than satisfied. While he had managed to get another level, it was the loot that made him most pleased.
For her...
2020-11-10 16:28:49 +0000 UTC View PostJake stared at the number of survivors as it kept going down until it finally stabilized. After twenty minutes, it still hadn’t moved, but the number left was still chilling.

2020-11-10 11:22:12 +0000 UTC View PostCaroline couldn’t even scream anymore as the metal spread from her heart until all that remained was a mannequin of iron. The low vitality and toughness of a healer became apparent, as she didn’t even have time to struggle before her death.
On the other hand, Richard was dumbfounded alo...
2020-11-10 11:17:39 +0000 UTC View PostA few hours earlier, while it was still early in the morning, the base was in full motion. The smiths worked overtime, the tailors doing the last work, and all the warriors readied their weapons and prepared themselves to make sure all their resources were fully replenished.
The order given...
2020-11-10 11:12:47 +0000 UTC View PostThe warm flow went through his body as it quietly circulated through his system. The stream of inner energy was the natural cycle that was ever-present in any living being who possessed the energy and subsequently required it to function.
This was also why there was a passive drain of stami...
2020-11-09 14:44:04 +0000 UTC View PostJake moved on down the list of skills, and he had to say that the second skill was a bit more… traditional.

2020-11-09 10:31:31 +0000 UTC View PostThe inside of the cabin was far too hot for William, and yet he couldn’t make himself look away. With every swing that brought the hammer down and every spark released upon impact, he got more and more entranced.
The Smith had been planning all of this for a long time. He was currently do...
2020-11-09 10:26:39 +0000 UTC View PostFor a mortal to meet a god was far from an ordinary occurrence throughout the multiverse. Only the most extraordinary ones had the chance to interact with divinity up close. And even then, it was rare.
The tutorial, however, was as far from ordinary as anything gets. It was an event that af...
2020-11-06 15:01:47 +0000 UTC View Post(AUTHOR NOTE (since there isn't' an author note feature here))
There will be quite a lot of time and chapters revolving around the two factions in the next 6 chapters. Just a heads up.
(AUTHOR NOTE OVER!)
Jake breathed out a sigh of relief when he saw the last option.
