“That’s a problem,” Korith squeaked.
Just three corners past the reaches of their training area, the party was presented with a hurdle.
The room before them was quite large and yet its floor was hardly visible. Dozens if not a few hundred of Lanaan insects we...

5 Level Ups in one day was really quite good.
3 Levels from the End of Segments reward and 2 Levels from all of the enemies Romulus had taken out plus the Lover’s Will experience. The latter accounted for half a level, so ALL the Raid enemies and 3 bosses had only accounted for 1 ...

“This Raid is just full of surprises,” John commented.
The roads all converged around another plaza and on the plaza were two noteworthy structures. One was the inner keep itself, the centre of the entire Segment. It was surprisingly small for the vast area around it. A singular,...

The tunnels within the hive had a disorienting uniformity to them. Cylindrical, they curved through the chitinous stone. They were three metres across. The walls had a ridged texture, forming circle after circle. Gazing down a corridor would have reminded them of the rings of a tree, had i...

“Hrrrrr.” Sol’s purring was music to Romulus’ ears, even more than the actual music that was playing in the background. How could pianos and violins ever compare to the voice of the woman that had been loyally by his side for ten millennia?
