"Yeah, we've got-" Erosh started before stopping, his head snapping to the side.
"That's a look of something dangerous," Beth said with a frown. "But there shouldn't be anything nearby that's that strong."
"Not a what," Erosh grunted. "A who."
"Hmm," Beth repli...
2025-09-03 17:00:30 +0000 UTC View PostThe others ignored Beth, other than Sera, who spouted a quick gout of flame over her lover to dry her off, Beth taking the fire and manipulating it to make sure she was dry and had burnt most of the remaining dust away. She put the fire out, Sera still marveling at the amount of control Beth had,...
2025-09-02 17:00:13 +0000 UTC View PostThey descended, again fighting beasts, finding nothing that was a challenge, and again they were beset by a monster. It took slightly longer this time, as the group was on the edge of the ledge of that tier and ready to leap down, Blood tensing her legs right as they heard the howling and ghostly...

I looked at the corpse hanging from the tree and rolled my shoulder. Damn, but it had been a little while since I'd been knifed; I forgot how much it could hurt. My regenerative affinity was still working on the wound, as the healer at Pietr's wasn't all that strong...
2025-08-29 17:00:15 +0000 UTC View Post"It's just one guy," Blood said, racing back up the side of the cliff before leaping over them and landing on her toes, bouncing around to face the group. "He's fighting the bigger beasts, the ones using those scream attacks. He's winning, too, by the looks of it."
"Shall we go introd...
2025-08-28 17:00:10 +0000 UTC View PostThey found something rather interesting in the desert, Beth comparing maps to find that it was in what used to be the country of Chad. Beth wasn't sure if the country still even existed at this point, but there were clearly quite a few people gathered in the desert, including two large camps that...
2025-08-27 17:00:16 +0000 UTC View PostRunning out of spikes wasn't hard, especially when they were running the golem dungeon on repeat, over and over until the mana was under control. That was a half dozen spikes used, and that wasn't counting the ones they had used before the auction. Beth made a trip to their home Hall, finagling a...
2025-08-26 17:00:12 +0000 UTC View PostThe first thing they did was, surprisingly, take a break, though Beth didn't have to be pushed particularly hard on that point. They took a couple days off, Beth leaving the gate open for the others while they all went off and did their own things. She and Sera visited a very familiar place while...

Being a captain in the royal guard wasn't easy, and especially one that handled certain investigations. I had been dispatched, along with my squad of six, to the estate of the grand duke, and we were currently on the train. I still wasn't sold on this ...
2025-08-22 17:02:53 +0000 UTC View PostOne other, quite pleasant, surprise popped up right at the very end, one Beth hadn't been expecting because they had been flying radio silent for a bit to make it a surprise. That was the other girls showing up, that being her sisters and Sabs and Neph, when they were only about two weeks out fro...
2025-08-21 17:00:11 +0000 UTC View PostThere were a few items that came up next that weren't of any interest to anyone in their booth, apart from the fact that they went for fairly exorbitant prices, until another big ticket item came up that Blood was very interested in. It was a one-two whammy for her, as it was a claw skill that wa...
2025-08-20 17:00:14 +0000 UTC View PostThe duels and the work dragged on, but their free time flew by, and Val disappeared after a week without even a goodbye, at least to Beth and Sera and the rest. Beth was sure she had said a rather nice goodbye to Blood, at the least, but that didn't include the rest of them. Well, Val was sometim...
2025-08-19 17:00:10 +0000 UTC View Post"What's the plan going forward?" Sera asked once everyone was settled in.
"Rebirths, leveling, spiked dungeons, yearly auction, finishing ref duty, all roughly in that order," Beth replied, ticking things off on her fingers.
"And what about you?" Sera asked, turning to Val...

The next day was, thankfully, an uneventful experience that felt like things were getting back to some semblance of what normal was. The day after, however, was not, and that was mainly because both the count and the Silver Lady were at the training ground t...
2025-08-15 17:00:15 +0000 UTC View PostLike Beth had said, the other two items weren't nearly as worthwhile as the cube, one of them being a rare chest armor and the other being an epic dagger (and what was with all the daggers?). The cube was the real prize, after all, and Beth was sure she could pawn the chestplate and the dagger of...
2025-08-14 17:00:12 +0000 UTC View PostIt was a month before Beth got them permission to take a slightly long weekend, which she would have felt bad about, but she knew the other Gold Emblems that were new to the Hall were taking plenty of time off themselves. That made her feel far less bad about one to two days extra to go tackle an...
2025-08-13 17:00:16 +0000 UTC View PostThe first of the big rewards they got wasn't even from the boss, but from the sub-bosses. There were really two rewards there, as all the sub-bosses had very valuable beast cores that were worth quite a bit. They would likely keep all of them, however, adding to their growing beast core collectio...
2025-08-12 17:00:11 +0000 UTC View Post"Oh, before we get to any of the good stuff, I did have one more thing," Beth said, shaking her head before pulling an item out of her necklace.
"And this is…?" Selene asked before examining it.
"What exactly is going on now?" I asked as we walked to the office.
"Your parents have a rather special guest, and they would like you to meet them," he replied calmly, but I could sense the faintest hint of excitement, and perhaps even respect, in his tone.
"Interesting,...

Sera and Blood had a bit of an easier time, of course, but that wasn't anything very strange at this point. Sera's list was worse than Blood's, in terms of rarity and price, as void-related things were not easy to come by, but Blood's list was easier than either of theirs. Easier to acquire still...
2025-08-07 17:00:12 +0000 UTC View PostTraining with Bai's team was a refreshing break from their other duties and training, at least for a couple hours, but then Beth was right back to it. It was the weekend, and the five of them were doing another run of the golem facility. This time went much faster, as they had an idea of how the ...
2025-08-06 17:00:11 +0000 UTC View PostStill, Beth was worried a bit too much, as even their run up to the dungeon proved. Two people with weapon skills in Master, the whole group at around level three hundred, and all of them with at least one skill in Platinum meant they were a lot stronger than Beth thought. Clearing a way up to th...
2025-08-05 17:00:10 +0000 UTC View PostAnother week came and went, and the referee duties were just as boring as they had been before the week of inter-Hall fun and excitement had happened. Beth was starting to get a bit of the suspicion that this was more a punishment detail than it was that much of a learning experience, at least fo...
2025-08-04 17:00:11 +0000 UTC View PostETA: You know what, on second thought, I'm not updating the chapter numbers. Just posting this to let people know the numbers will be the same. It will be an insane amount of work, and it will throw all my notes off to change all the numbers from 61-476, so scratch that idea.

2025-08-01 12:11:19 +0000 UTC View Post"I know you know I'm in here and that it's me," I called through the shut door of my suite.
The door opened, revealing a discombobulated count, one who entered rather warily, eying me for a moment before he saw the spear. "By the heavens!"
"The heavens have nothing to do w...

The day was going to be busy, despite everything that happened yesterday, as they were still hosting the week of cheap teleports and inter-Hall competition. There were way more people there that day tha...
2025-07-31 17:00:08 +0000 UTC View Post"Yeah, I think we might need to rethink the last duel, considering that new level," Beth said, glancing at the others.
"I should say so," Bai snorted in response.
"What about everybody against me? I need to test my new weapon skill, anyway," Beth said.
"Who do...
2025-07-30 17:00:15 +0000 UTC View Post"I feel like we're constantly getting cheated," Bai said a bit crossly when all the cheering had died down and they had all gathered together.

"It was on us...
2025-07-29 17:00:13 +0000 UTC View Post"It was a very good effort," Beth started with, though that didn't seem to brighten the mood at all.
"It was not," Bai said with a sigh. "We were stronger, faster, and better in almost every way. The handicap you were under was, quite frankly, ridiculous. How you were able to even fig...
