B3—Chapter 9: The Power of Magitech

I joined Mahya for the motorcycle project, and for the first time, I felt the impact of my stats. I had to study the other book of engineering runes. Before, my limit was six runes before my head felt like it would explode from internal pressure. Now, my limit was nine runes, and the pressure was...

B3—Chapter 8: Milestones and Monsters

Looking at the message, I did a full-body shimmy. It deserved more than a butt wiggle, but it wasn’t quite enough for a full Gangnam Style celebration. That, I reserved for the complete Loot Spell—when it would be ready. And now, I was stuck on the name. Loot Monster? Harvest Monster? Convert...

B3—Chapter 7: Monster Looter

We emptied the contents of our Storage onto the house’s deck. Since we brought a lot of materials, we had to do it in two parts. Each part took the house a few hours to absorb the materials, but my house was a trooper and absorbed everything.

We had no particular plans for the materials, ...

B3 – Chapter 5: Déjà vu

With great enthusiasm, Mahya and I tested all the new electronic devices. I connected the crystalline disc to the stereo system, and we listened to music. The sound was crisp and clear, filling the room with vibrant melodies that seemed to dance in the air.

Yes!

Mahya...

B3–Chapter 4: Did I Mention That My House Is Awesome?

I ran into the house excitedly to check the changes inside, and they did not disappoint. It used to be square, but now it was an elongated rectangle that extended from the front. The first floor was still twice as high as the others. My living room had tripled in size, and the kitchen had doubled...

B3—Chapter 3: Gains

After eight days, I finally felt well enough to get out of bed and start walking around. When I checked my channels, they had all grown larger—not just the main channels, but also the secondary ones and the smaller new ones. Secondary of the secondary? I didn’t know what to call them, so I de...

B3—Chapter 2: My First “Proper” Dungeon Run

The day after we cleared the valley, the three of us needed a break. Even after casting Heal Muscle, I still felt sore, more from mental exhaustion than physical pain. I set up some lawn furniture outside the house, and we spent the day with our feet up, reading. The only sounds were the rustling...

Trippy Shrooms

No, it's not what it sounds like. I'm a doctor, not a party boy.

Book 3 – Chapter 1: A Trippy Place

Al crossed the gate first, and I followed right behind him. As soon as I stepped through, I collided with his back. The jolt made me stumble, and I barely kept my balance. "Why did you stop?" I asked, annoyance creeping into my voice.

He stepped aside, revealing what had halted him. My jaw ...

Prologue: Book three

Prologue: Book Three

After writing my memoirs, I decided to keep the habit going with a diary. It was a good way to document my journey and jot down all the interesting things I came across. It was funny how easy it became to just write whatever happened—kind of like talk...

Ethan Clarke leaned back in his old, worn-out leather recliner, his rustic Appalachian Mountains cottage lit only by the faint glow from his computer screen. The shelves of canned goods, the wood-burning furnace, the well-stocked arsenal, and silver and gold co...

Wings of Rebirth

Verse 1:
In the caverns of my heart, ember-lit,
I cradled memories like fragile glass,
Each shard a testament to pain endured,
A fractured mirror reflecting my past.

Chorus:
I am the phoenix, rising from the pyre,
Wings aflame with hope, my spirit higher.
In the ...

Phoenix's Flight

Verse 1:
In the heart's forge, where sorrows smolder,
A phoenix stirs, its wings aflame.
The past, a pyre—memories grow colder,
From ashes, hope ignites its game.

Chorus: 
Rise from ashes, wings unfurled,
Let go of pain, embrace the world.
In flames reborn...

Chapter 128: Phoenix Reborn

In Calgary, I rented us a house on the outskirts of the city, close to the direction of Mount Rundle. We needed a while on Earth to finish the last tasks. Rue resumed his patrolling, delivering a daily “report” in the evening that left the three of us with a telepathic headache. He stopped be...

Chapter 127: Preparing for the End

As we set off for Pueblo, I asked Mahya and Al to take full responsibility for the wheel. I decided to focus on warning Earth about the impending danger. I drafted a warning that explained what was happening on Earth, why we saw all those problems in the CNN article, how easy it was to gain new s...

John's new Merchant stalls

Quote from John, while scratching his head and looking sheepish, "I think I went a bit overboard, but they were so cheap! One of them cost me $500, and the most expensive one was $850. I just couldn't say no."

Chapter 124: Albuquerque

When we arrived in Albuquerque, we needed two days to recover and catch up on sleep after the intense days on the road. Once we all felt human again, I opened the computer and checked an alternative route without the detours to Alabama and Chicago. We had to retrace our steps, as the best route w...

Chapter 123: It’s Starting

Driving to Albuquerque, a sudden and intense warning from my Luck made my body jerk in the seat. Mahya and Al shifted uncomfortably, fidgeting and mirroring the unease gripping me. Rue’s sudden shout of “Danger!” sent a shiver down my spine.

Slamming the brakes, I pulled over to the s...

Chapter 122: Not Again ...

While driving to Phoenix, I turned on the radio and looked for an oldies station. I found one, but the songs weren’t what I expected. I thought an oldies station would play hits from the 80s and 90s, but this station played songs from 2000 to 2025. It made me feel old. I’d be 49 on paper on D...

First things first, before leaving Vegas, we decided to do as much shopping online as possible, only buying in person what was absolutely necessary. To start, the three of us scoured Vegas, bought every reloadable credit card we could find, and maxed them out until we had a million dollars in cre...
