Zac had called the palace the Alchemist Palace in his mind, and this room was a final confirmation that he’d been right on the money. It was clear that they had found an alchemist’s workshop.
Thick bundles of herbs were hanging from the roof, and they were likely the cause ...
2019-12-13 17:28:06 +0000 UTC View PostThea looked at him aghast, seemingly not able to comprehend what was happening.
“It’s an antidote pill,” Zac said as he paled a bit. “Or rather a poison pill that blocks other poisons. Kind of fight fire with fire. Do you need one?”
It was something he’d gotten after Alea ...
2019-12-13 17:26:59 +0000 UTC View PostZac surveyed the battlefield and finally walked over to the corpse of the Medhin member. He was still decked in all kinds of expensive-looking rings and amulets, and Zac unceremoniously threw the body into his sack so that he could look over them later.
He already knew from before that the ...
2019-12-12 18:23:07 +0000 UTC View PostZac was almost at the crest of the mountain housing the Alchemist Palace, as he’d named the mansion due to what he hoped to find inside.
He’d entered a couple of buildings on the way up, but he hadn’t found much of value apart from a few minor pills and Crystals. After having visited ...
2019-12-11 17:52:46 +0000 UTC View PostJust as he took his first step inside the building his danger sense sparked to life. To Zac’s surprise it actually came from behind, rather than from something inside the palace. He stood completely frozen, and a second later a dagger appeared out of nowhere.
It headed straight toward his...
2019-12-10 17:11:26 +0000 UTC View PostZac unhesitantly punched out, and a pained yelp escaped from the beast that tried to ambush him.
The next moment the edge of an axe fell down, cutting the animal’s head clean off. Zac stopped to look down at the thing he just killed. He had to say it looked quite a bit like a rat, but one as...
It was as Zac had suspected. The man in front of him was not from Earth. The foreign names on the ladder made that painfully clear. Another very obvious point was that there was a group of clear frontrunners in this other world. Seven of the top ten names seemed to be from the same family, with t...
2019-12-07 17:54:12 +0000 UTC View PostOnly fools would rush up to the mountain peaks, becoming unwitting meat shields to try out whatever trials those places had in store. Because going by how the System operated it wouldn’t simply leave piles of wealth for anyone to grab, there likely was a trick to it.
Besides, even if he m...

Unfortunately only had an old rusty shield he pilfered when he hunted the Imp Herald in the tunnels. It o...

2019-12-02 19:25:58 +0000 UTC View PostZac eagerly walked rushed toward his Nexus Node, unable to contain his excitement. He was truly curious about what kinds of classes he could expect from his new race. It was in a way both a test run for his level 75 evolution, and a testament to his struggles so far.
If he had available Epi...

2019-11-30 11:42:06 +0000 UTC View PostZac could only nod at what Brazla said, his own thoughts running along the same lines. He had started to believe that one wouldn’t become truly strong by brainlessly copying others. That’s why he never had any interest in checking out the heritages he owned.
That wasn’t to say that on...
2019-11-29 19:09:13 +0000 UTC View PostSuddenly Zac’s train of thought was interrupted by a familiar figure pacing outside his array looking fidgety. He blankly looked at her figure for a few seconds before removing the array with a frown.
“What do you want?” Zac asked as Alea started at the shield disappearing.

2019-11-26 18:05:58 +0000 UTC View PostZac was quite relieved when he put away the half-absorbed cores. He had already expended most of his stock of Divine Crystals, and he was starting to fear that his core was simply a bottomless hole. But now he knew there truly was a limit to it.
Zac closed his eyes and focused his senses on...
2019-11-25 17:32:17 +0000 UTC View PostAs soon as Zac touched the crystal he once again found himself in front of the Nexus Hub south of Azh’Rodum. When he looked around he also noticed two boxes neatly placed right in front of him.
He took up the first one and opened it, finding a densely inscribed plaque inside. He picked it...

He truly wasn’t in a condition to fight with someone who made Average this afraid. However, he soon realized the fol...

It felt like every part of his body...

2019-11-19 18:29:44 +0000 UTC View PostIt appeared the general was about to continue, but drums in the distance interrupted him. It sounded like a call to war, and Zac frowned and walked toward the source of a ruckus. The leaders of the Solvim hurriedly followed behind as he walked up a hill to get a better vantage of the situation. 2019-11-18 19:06:32 +0000 UTC View Post
Zac opened his quest menu to begin with and tried to mentally command the trial to start. When that didn’t work he tried to physically press the quest, but in the end he only swiped his hands through the air.
