“I know it’s not ideal Thera, but it would really be helping out both me and the clinic if you stop by for just a couple hours a day,” Ben overheard Sonya telling Thera as he got home.
“I’m not… entirely against the idea aunty, I just don’t think it will go well. Do you really...
2022-06-30 14:52:21 +0000 UTC View Post“Hey Thera!” Yelled the overly enthusiastic green girl as she ran up to her in the training grounds, drawing the few other eyes around as she did and leaving Thera to groan internally.
Despite her better judgement, she was going to be spending the day practicing her magic with Sachel, w...
2022-06-29 13:38:40 +0000 UTC View PostHis first idea was for an additional shield. Even though he’d just improved the cloak, all the enchantments he added to it were just to keep him from getting injured. Its immediate weakness was that it wasn’t anchored, so while he may not get harmed if another stone ape threw itself at him, h...
2022-06-28 12:55:28 +0000 UTC View PostThe next day Ben went to the shop while Thera focused on training her earth magic. There were too many things he wanted to work on and not enough time to do it all, but since this was regularly his day off to hunt anyway he had the benefit of not needing to help out too much, instead focusing on ...
2022-06-26 13:28:30 +0000 UTC View Post“So what favour did you ask for anyway?” Thera asked as they made their way to the woods.
“Huh?”
“The one that has you making your god a church? It sounds pretty expensive so I figured it must have been something big.”
“Oh, nothing crazy. I just wanted him to put a...
2022-06-24 11:17:15 +0000 UTC View PostHello everyone,
Because of some unexpected events in my life that made this past month a bit more complicated then I expected I didn't have much of a chance to try and figure out new side story option so I'll be going with the same as last month, offering two extra chapters for everyo...
2022-06-21 22:17:34 +0000 UTC View PostWhen Thera woke up he prepared a nice breakfast for them before heading to the guild, bringing his bike and the pumps he designed in tow. After explaining the details of the type of patent he’d needed to make last time with the projector, he’d warned her that he was working on something else ...
2022-06-21 08:12:26 +0000 UTC View PostWith the brace done, Ben discreetly tested the effectiveness of it before Thera woke up with the results being that the amount of dark resistance someone would need was down to 17 at a distance and 27 on contact, a measly one point off both. While it did show that improving the quality of the ite...
2022-06-19 11:23:00 +0000 UTC View Post“What’s gotcha yellin’ boy?” Falk asked as he rushed to the room.
“Oh, sorry Falk, didn’t realize you were still here.”
“Figured I’d stick around for some of my own work to see how yours turns out, now out with it, what’s the problem.”
“No problem, I made...
2022-06-17 04:34:20 +0000 UTC View Post“So what now?” Thera asked. “Going to rush to the guild and place your patent? I think the guild master will be there for another hour or two.”
While he could have any of the staff deal with his patents as long as they weren’t so potentially world-changing like the braces were, Fa...
2022-06-14 06:28:14 +0000 UTC View Post“Hell yes, look at me go! I’m such a great freaking craftsman!” Ben yelled as he peddled about, not drawing any more stares than he was already getting as he zipped through town on his freshly created bike.
It had been two months since he got back from the dryad village and he hadn’...
2022-06-12 05:25:33 +0000 UTC View Post“I change my mind, this is dumb and embarrasing. What if Sonya comes home early? She’ll write about this to my mother and then I’ll actually die, Ben.”
“Sorry but it’s too late, I’ve put way too much work into making this fun so change into your pajamas then come help me make ...
2022-06-07 16:09:07 +0000 UTC View Post“Please don’t go,” Delair asked, clinging to his leg as he was saying goodbye to her and Fontesh before he and Thera went to catch a ride with the merchant to get back to the gate.
Oh man, my heart’s going to break.

She’d just gotten back to the house after discussing what they could try with Sachel and Ralia in the event Ben couldn’t make anything, but as soon as they set foot...
2022-05-31 11:38:31 +0000 UTC View PostAfter a long night of making use of Myriad in his realm to work on his mind skills, he woke up and prepared breakfast for everyone. Over the last few weeks he’d picked up a few recipes from Fontesh, and so he was putting his efforts into making the frattles Delair enjoyed that he’d grown quit...
2022-05-30 13:27:57 +0000 UTC View PostThe hard part hadn’t been getting the crystal itself. He already knew where a decently sized quartz boulder was from making the resistance amulets out of it, and breaking off a chunk hadn’t been too terrible, even if it took a while.
No, the hard part was when he got back to Fontesh’s...
2022-05-29 13:08:47 +0000 UTC View Post“Alright, I’ve turned a blind eye since you’ve been helping the village, but what in the infinite hells are you doing?” The elder dryad demanded, eyeing the lot of them suspiciously.
Despite the prior conflict, Ben went back to using the more cheer-filled attitude as he spoke to her...
2022-05-28 16:45:49 +0000 UTC View PostA couple weeks passed, and as Ben's mood only grew as the results of all of his work began to pay off, everyone else’s managed to degrade. He’d just finished his repairs to the last house, his ability to cut the logs into the lengths and shapes he needed greatly increased with the purchase of...
2022-05-27 10:54:05 +0000 UTC View PostWhen he awoke he didn’t immediately get up. Thera was using him as a pillow again, and since he didn’t know how she’d be feeling he wanted to be there for her in the morning if she needed to talk, so he wordlessly rubbed her head while staring up at the ceiling.
His mood was better at...

“I’d like to suggest finding an option that doesn’t get you imprisoned or executed.”

First off, I had some troubles thinking of side story options for the current place in the story. I have a few prepared for farther on but that...
2022-05-20 10:55:01 +0000 UTC View PostShe couldn’t stop smiling under her hood as she got back with all of the logs. A level up to her magic was more than she’d expected from their trip and she immediately felt its effects as she floated the logs back. She still needed breaks as she went, but the entire task just felt simpler, an...
2022-05-20 10:15:31 +0000 UTC View PostOnce again she’d woken up alone. Giving it a bit of thought, unless Ben was up late into the night working on something he would typically be up before her, out to her uncle’s shop with breakfast waiting on the table. It seemed like it was around noon though, so she got up and dressed before ...

Just something to think about if you feel like doing more to secure the stability of my faith.”...
2022-05-17 05:40:17 +0000 UTC View Post“That’s impossible,” Ralia said firmly.
“And ethically dubious,” Thera pointed out, far more concerned that he’d actually do it while Sachel came in with a question.
“You don’t have an awakened life or death magic, do you?”
“God I wish. No, and it’s not som...

Long story short my sleep schedule is a bit of a mess and I don't trust myself to properly edit it without getting some rest. Sorry for the delay but I ho...
2022-05-13 06:12:14 +0000 UTC View PostMinutes after the mildly concerning exchange with his god, their target finally started to appear, and Ben moved back to watch how the fight would go. He knew Sachel had life, water, and earth magic since her goal was to eventually awaken them to plant magic, which meant that she and Thera had a ...
2022-05-13 06:02:00 +0000 UTC View Post“Uh, what’s going on here?” Thera asked as she and the other two women returned in the evening to find seemingly the entirety of the village's young children in the yard and tugging at Ben, with Delair being the most demanding of his attention.
