Outrage of the Ancients Chapter 30: Last Chance

10 am, the Day Before The Third Challenge Begins, the Untersberg

I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again, and I’ll likely never stop saying it.

My. Life. Is. A. Fever. Dream.

And my current surroundings, the throne room of the Untersberg fortress certainly didn’t help thi...

Outrage of the Ancients Chapter 29: Buried Evil (Alternative Title: Diabolus ex Machina) (Book 2 Start)

The Third Challenge, [The Waking of the Unliving], has now begun, giving life to objects that never should have had it.

The Second Challenge, [The Breaking of Graves], has concluded, and the dead will no longer rise. However, existing undead will continue to exist until they are slain.

Outrage of the Ancients Chapter 28: A New World

The past five days had been a whirlwind of activity, but somehow also perfectly calm compared to everything that had happened previously.

No more Nation Bosses had risen, all the little fuckers had spawned in the first second of the Challenge and were slowly being ground to dust by military...

Outrage of the Ancients Chapter 27: Lessons Learned

Walking through a warzone hit differently when that warzone used to be people’s homes. And apparently, Ogier had touted me as being capable of fixing everything, which was definitely a teensy bit of a stretch. [Restoration of the Old] was strong, and only got stronger when applied...

Outrage of the Ancients Chapter 26: Legendary Deed

Charlemagne

A second nexus had been destroyed. But once again, it hadn’t been human power tearing deep enough into their foe to destroy the source of the beast’s power; it had been the beast’s own power breaking it to protect itself from being crippled.

They needed to find out h...

Outrage of the Ancients Chapter 25: True Boss

Tristan

Bones of the Forgotten (raised ossuary), Level 35 Nation Boss

Well, that was gonna be a problem. I shivered as I slowly pulled my nose back

It was “just” Level 35, which seemed to be the limit for the second Challenge, but it wasn’t weak. Definitely not. 2024-09-26 20:09:02 +0000 UTC View Post

Outrage of the Ancients Chapter 24: Learning Lessons

Yesterday, and the day before that, had sucked. It had been an awful combination of depressing, disgusting, and exhausting that would likely stay with me until the day I died.

This morning, I’d woken up feeling terrible, tired and with a headache, hungover without ever having touched a dr...

Outrage of the Ancients Chapter 23: Aftermath

Today had been a new day, and that did not make a lick of difference to my mood. Actually, no, that was a lie. I felt worse. Yesterday had been a matter of alternating between using Skills, watching and waiting with bated breath as the matters outside went on, and praying to a deity I was pretty ...

Outrage of the Ancients Chapter 22: Arthur/Fionn/Joseph

Arthur

This was the grand Second Challenge, the countless monsters that were supposed to be able to crush the strongest this modern world had to offer?

A few thousand simple undead that the company of soldiers he’d been assigned would have been able to mow them down wi...

Outrage of the Ancients Chapter 21: Boss Fights

Ogier

“There are undead in the caves.”

Oh, that … that was bad.

Ogier didn’t even bother holding back on the swearing as he stormed out of his previous assigned position, a so-called “pillbox” on the far side of the mountain from the throne room. There were multiple ...

Outrage of the Ancients Chapter 20: The Siege

Dietrich’s fist met the revolting tentacle as it passed through an arrowslit and he triggered [Titan Strike], the magic now inherent to him overriding the normal rules of nature and how such an action would normally have gone.

A field of force wrapped around his gauntlet, gripping the fle...

Outrage of the Ancients Chapter 19: Army of the Dead

Tristan

The Second Challenge, [The Breaking of Graves], has now begun, raising the dead and occasionally forming them into new shapes.

The First Challenge, [The Beasts of Legend], has concluded, and no new monsters will be created, nor will animals be mutated. However, existing monste...

Outrage of the Ancients Chapter 18: Temujin

The Second Challenge, [The Breaking of Graves], will begin today.

Time remaining: 0:0:0:27

A force of unprecedented power and was about to impact the world, forever reshaping the course of its history.

And Temujin was leading the simultaneously strongest and strangest horde he�...

Outrage of the Ancients Chapter 17: Drake

The Second Challenge, [The Breaking of Graves], will begin today.

Time remaining: 0:0:1:01

Little over one minute to go, then all hell would break loose, potentially even in the literal sense. Because it could mean almost anything.

A gate to the underworld, anything tha...

Outrage of the Ancients Chapter 16: Final Preparations

The main chamber, or rather, the throne room, was thankfully mostly empty. Well, not completely, and the table we’d eaten at this morning had been turned into the center of all strategic planning, but it wasn’t overrun.

Karl der Große was there, discussing something with a man in a uni...

Outrage of the Ancients Chapter 15: Perfected Beings

The Irish Embassy looked pretty similar to the British one, a building design that I’d have described as “traditional”, though I didn’t need [Innate Etiquette] to remind me that that almost certainly wasn’t the correct, official, term. But still, it had charm, and the building’s outsi...

Outrage of the Ancients Chapter 14: Temujin/Fionn

Temujin

At least someone was being polite about contacting him. No premature threats, no insults, just an ambassador walking up to a Mongolian Embassy and politely asking for a meeting with the lord of the house, so to speak.

Then, they’d had a conversation like reason...

Outrage of the Ancients Chapter 13: Spreading the Word

I looked up from my phone at the sound of Mia running over to me, grinning from ear to ear, a System window in front of her, bobbing up and down as she moved. Therefore, I couldn’t read any of that, it was bouncing around too much, but at least it was pretty obvious what had gotten her excited....

Outrage of the Ancients Chapter 12: Mia

Learning from Dietrich von Bern was an intimidating prospect.

With most of Mia’s teachers, they might have been far beyond her when she started, but she had swiftly learned from them, mastered the basics, and grown from there until she’d eventually hit the point of diminishing returns, ...

Outrage of the Ancients Chapter 11: Ogier Danske

You know, this would have been a lot more fun with that modern music. It was like the most exhilarating part of the trumpets calling one to battle, extended across an entire song, and there seemed to be a near-infinite number of songs out there.

Though chances were the emperor would ban it ...

Outrage of the Ancients Chapter 10: Where there’s Smoke, there’s Fire

Somehow, I woke up perfectly refreshed, and I even had a plan for everything. At least that was what it felt like. Boundless energy filled me, and I was raring to go … that wasn’t right. Couldn’t be right. I’d slept terribly, so why was I feeling so good?

“System, can you show me ...

Outrage of the Ancients Chapter 9: Francis Drake/Temujin

Never in all his years on the sea had he had such a terrible headache, and quite frankly, his current state went well beyond even the hangover after every post-raid celebration he’d ever had put together.

But honestly, Francis Drake did not regret a single thing. Because now, he was fully...

Outrage of the Ancients Chapter 8: Ancient Fortress

“So, how do we get this open?” Dietrich asked, rapping his knuckles against the massive stone gate. It sounded like he’d just smacked solid rock, without any hollows or non-stone materials underneath. Just a massive slab that looked impossible to move. Dietrich could probably break it, but ...

Outrage of the Ancients Chapter 7: On the Road

Somehow, I only got my reward for the events at Ravenna once we were well-clear of the city, but I did get it.

[Legend’s Guide Lv. 5 -> Legend’s Guide Lv. 7]

[Skill Boost Gained]

[Skill gained: Arcane Core]

I sighed. If I hadn’t known how to access proper descript...

Outrage of the Ancients Chapter 6: Resting … Not

It was late at night by the time we reached Ravena. The drive had been far and it sure as shit hadn’t been helped by having to stop seven times to kill monsters. Well, for Dietrich to kill monsters, me and Mia weren’t quite at a Level where we could.

Checking into our hote...

Outrage of the Ancients Chapter 5: Natural Overreaction

I froze for a second, then took two steps back into the gloom to grab my phone, activating a live stream on YouTube.

“What’s wrong?” Dietrich asked as I did that, having stopped when I did.

“Local law enforcement,” I said. “I’m hoping that showing this to the world is go...

Outrage of the Ancients Chapter 4: Arthur/Joseph/Temudjin

Another monster fell beneath his blade, and after briefly checking to make sure it didn’t magically return to life, Arthur marched off.

There were other places to me, more monsters to fight, more things to do.

“Sir, there are reports of a giant monster in the New Forest National P...

Outrage of the Ancients Chapter 3: “Graverobbing”

Apparently, even legendary heroes got car sick.

Dietrich and I had been in the back, discussing what information I should give him once [Knowledge Transfer] came off cooldown. He’d wanted to know about modern weaponry while I’d argued that I didn’t actually know all that much about gu...

Outrage of the Ancients Chapter 2: Fionn Mac Cumail/Charlemagne/Francis Drake

The march to Dublin had been a bloody affair, though that was likely due to how Fionn had chosen his path, dragging the Fianna through as many monster-infested areas as possible.

It had achieved its primary purpose, allowing them to stop some of the biggest problems before they actually imp...
