985. Not the face!

---Emerald City---

An angry swarm of bats rushed through the streets and decimated groups of goons, while an anthropomorphic wolf was jumping between the tall buildings, firing arrows at a woman who was hot on her heels. The woman in question was wearing exotic clothing and using a weird pa...

984. Why aren't we using these...?

“Why aren't we using these instead of the Alpeka?” Evan asked at the sight of the crowd of golem knights, seated on golem horses. The underground vault Seth and the Chosen of Hermes entered was filled with a full-blown Golem Cavalry.

While Seth was on tenterhooks waiting for the fabric ...

983. Fire takes shape

“Neeco, are you ready?” Seth asked as he walked into his workshop, where the tailor was already waiting for him. “Do I really have to wear this?” the tailor asked unwillingly. He was clad in a fiery red armor set, visibly uncomfortable wearing the plate armor. This was one of the relic-ra...

982. After a month

---Minas Mar, Delta---

With a sigh of relief, Mary put together a stack of papers and laid it to the side. Some of her most pressing worries had been resolved over the past month. The construction for the Pythian Games was finally finished. Although there had been some problems with Cade an...

981. Cyborgs?

Deftly, Mike avoided the grab of a mechanical claw, as a weird creature fell from the ceiling above. His silver sword was clad in bright flames that brightly illuminated the new opponent. The being in front of him was roughly humanoid, very roughly.

It had a slim, languid torso covered in o...

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year!

Holiday Break

First of all, Merry Christmas Everyone.
Sorry, for the late notice, but i was preoccupied with holidays and still am.
I'm taking a little break until New Years.

980. Beginning termination

---Unclaimed Mountains, about 1 Month Later---

A giant body crashed into the mountainside, setting off a snowstorm and a small avalanche as it slid into the valley. Buckled wings, broken bones, cut tubes, bent metal, this bundle of broken parts of the corpse of the hashing bird.

The c...

979. Climbing Dwarf

Like a piece of art, yet exuding terrible danger like a massive beast, the full set of the Scorpio Armor was Presented to Tored and Nädel.

Before Seth could try to explain anything, the dwarf's hand started wandering across his body. From somewhere a jeweler's loupe had appeared in his han...

978. Worsening Reputation

The next day, the situation in Chrona had changed to an unexpected degree. Right after the terrorist attack on the granaries and the other attempts,  a church building burning to the ground like this was expected to be a public outcry.

Usually, people would turn to blame their governme...

977. Iiiincredibly boring

A pale silver sword pierced into the center of the basin, clear for everyone still alive to see. Even the presence of the goddess herself, that inhabit her statue, had no idea what killed her priests or where the sword had come from.

Gatris had even less explanation for what happened after ...

976. Church of Gatris

Oh yeah, this was closer to the place he was looking for. Following the priests through the maintenance route, they arrived at a subterranean facility built in what used to be the park house below the mall.

They had built new walls to create rooms in the garage, making it hard to navigate. ...

975. Becoming more Proactive

“This is really good!” Tored complimented, shoving ice cream in his gob.

“This is Puffles' most favorite Ice cream Shop,” Seth commented with a smile. It was one of the few places still worth visiting in Delta. A lot had changed since the blacksmith had arrived here with his party a...

974. Arrival

--- 7 Days Later, Minas Mar---

<Ding! Your Carpentry (craftsman) lv.4 had become Carpentry (craftsman) lv.5!>

Seth had worked hard for the past week, making bows, crossbows, clubs, and spears, anything that required and benefited from the <Carpentry> skill. The resulting i...

973. Oh yeah, Loot!

With a stab and a crack, she started taking off metal plates and made a way into the interior of the beast’s skull. Although she had boasted of having studied computers, it didn’t mean she was very successful with it. As the daughter of a rich family, she had to admit that she was not too ser...

972. A little over the top(2)

As she said it, Holly's steps became quicker and she started running. The two noticed a liberated smile bloom on her face.

“Self-destruct? Since when can guild branches do that? How big is the radius?” Mike asked, as Lydia and he easily kept up with her.

“Pssht! It's top secret....

971. I set it to...

---Unclaimed Mountains---

“A giant mechanical owl, huh? In that case, abort the mission. Although it is a shame to give the girl bad news, I doubt there is a big chance that her aunt is still alive, if it is true what that man told you...” Seth's voice rang from the communication orb. 2023-12-13 17:50:33 +0000 UTC View Post

970. Grant May

Seth had recently learned that a comprehensive build-up of experience and knowledge could majorly improve the power of items, even without relying on the inherent rating of the material, he didn't have the time or capacity to do so at the moment.

There were still many things he didn't know ...

969. Do you want to grind a potion?

Seth's insistence paid well. After a cup of tea, the pair of dark elves not only scraped together 30 gold, but 60, asking for two golem knight squads to be sent. The blacksmith was not someone who said no to free money and accepted their payment readily. After all, this was not a down payment, bu...

968. On Credit

After a night of excess, Seth struggled to get out of bed. He was tightly bound by the two girls hugging him. The floor was covered in empty bottles of booze. It took quite a lot for them to get drunk...

They didn't just drink away the night. The three had talked for a long time and their s...

967. Who wants to go?

Once again, everyone of note within Minas Mar was sitting in the same room. This time, the Tower Master had asked for presence. It was not often that Seth asked everyone to come to a meeting, so everyone thought it had to be important. Even Simon was invited. The only ones missing were Mike, Lydi...

966. Oh, yeah. It's Minas Mar again.

--- Delta, Minas Mar, 2 days later---

“... and so, to take responsibility for the recent incidents, I will step down as temporary chancellor,” he ended his speech.

It had actually happened. After the hideous terrorist attacks on Delta's Granaries and the many more failed attempts ...

965. Morranto(4)

--- Unclaimed Mountains, Morranto---

The party managed to make an appointment with the lord as Ray's coins didn't seem to run out. Despite some heavy bribery, they were still forced to stay in the city of bandits for another two days because that was the earliest date the lord had a free sp...

964. Garment of Styx

The one to suffer immediately was Neeco Boos, as he suddenly vanished from his warm and soft bed, where he had slept beside Alison. The tailor appeared in his workshop, only wearing his pair of boxer shorts. The cold floor against his back immediately had him wide awake

“KYAA!”

A ...

963. Cantori Moderni

After making an improvement on his own, <Soul Infusion> finally improved to level nine. And not a moment too early, as he was going to face the end boss next. But first, he checked out the pair of gauntlets that gently floated towards him from the center of the Waters of Styx.

<Can...

962. Crown of Death

Seth stayed in bed a while longer, together with Fin and Mina. Considering the heavy discussion yesterday they all welcomed the distraction. The blacksmith showed up in his workshop sometime around midday.

Feeling much calmer, Seth was ready to start the last stretch, which had just become ...

961. Bottom of the Barrel

The immortal looked into their eyes, and a tense silence filled the room.

“But why all of a sudden? From what I understood, they didn't show any great interest so far...” Jane finally asked.

“That is true, the scum you have met so far, apart from me, has been the bottom of the b...

960. Cuirass of Death

Seth had already decided on the soul for the core piece of the armor. He chose one of the souls he had further refined that combined a strong affinity with heavy armor and pugilism. It seemed like a good match for the cuirass.

After the short respite of forging the soul armament, he faced t...

959. Suicide?

"You managed to finish the Gambeson?" Seth asked as he visited Neeco in his room the next day. The tailor had thoroughly exhausted himself but he was already looking better after having a meal and a visit from Lynri. It seemed like Alison had also tended to him, during the night.

"Yes, here...

958. Trainee Dungeon

---Minas Mar---

Slowly, Seth walked through the dungeon in the style of an ancient ruin. Hieroglyphs and reliefs nobody could understand covered the walls, giving the place an aura of mysticism and danger.  He unwittingly stepped on a pressure plate and a volley of poison arrows rained...
