Chapter 34
A blood-curdling scream coming from behind him finally snapped Thaden out of his anger-fueled fugue state. Stumbling to a stop, he realized that he had been operating pretty much on autopilot as his feet led him to the Mausoleum of Despair Dungeon, as having traveled to it quit...

“How is he moving so quickly? Isn’t he a Support Class?”

As I said on a chapter I posted yesterday for my new book, I decided to push through with this new story because it was all I could think about! Once it's done, I'll be getting back to Fusionist Book 5, which I'm thinking will be in about 2 weeks or less, and then I'll be able to concentrat...

Thaden’s accumulated PICK finally gave out after he hit Level 35, which was a slight disappointment, but it was better than nothing. After gaining another 20 Mentality with the Level-ups, he was now at 112 – giving him a base of 1,120 Mana, which was just short of being abl...

Thaden threw himself down on his bed, feeling absolutely wiped after the experience of choosing his Class evolution. Despite his exhaustion, he couldn’t help but be excited at the prospect of his new Class, as Lifewarden seemed like it could really be a gamechanger, allowing ...

So, I was going to write more Fusionist today, but I couldn't get my mind off this story. I decided to keep going with it for now, as it's getting pretty far into the story, and I'll probably keep at it until it's done. I'm hoping that it won't be more than 2 weeks before it's com...

The message window filled Thaden’s entire vision, so it was virtually impossible for him to look at anything else. Thankfully, it explained what had happened; at the same time, it also made his heart drop at what it also indicated for him specifically.

Without access to a Support Class Representative, there really wasn’t anything that Thaden could do to get a new Class. And without a new Class, he couldn’t advance past Level 21, which meant no more spells or stat points gained through Leveling-up, and essentially no devel...

I'm trying to figure out a good name for my newest story about a healer that I've been posting, but want to hear what you might think about some options.

Here are my plans for next ...

Thaden could feel the PICK he had accumulated siphon out of his body and into what was required to Level-up, and he quickly spent another 5,200 and then 5,500 to reach Levels 19 and then 20.
Level up! You are now a Level 19 Assistant Healer!
