The decision wasn't that hard. While [Jotun Battle Roar] sounded amazing and wildly powerful, [Hammer Reverberation] was more versatile. There was a certain amount of buildup that [Battle Roar] required that the other skill didn'...

My Points were gone and it was time to return. My mind exited the absurdly white space and my senses returned to the sizable tent we had all been standing in.
Around everyone were piles upon piles of boxes, books, materials of all kinds, and more boxes....

Having watched my purchases add up already, I was giddy to keep the ball rolling. Watching my points dwindle had dampened that, but nothing compared to purchasing new goodies.
Especially new and shiny goodies that fit my needs perfectly.
Sadly, sp...

I feel like specialized, strengthened Jotun bones are better than unspecialized higher-tier Lesser Frost Giant bones.

It took me a second to rein in my outburst and get my aura under control. I hadn't known that was in me, and it came out at a time I hadn't expected. This was also the first time I had so obviously seen the effects I had on people.

No rest for the wicked.
My body ached, my mind was tired, and there was a dull buzzing in the back of my head it felt like, but I still couldn't lay down to rest. Hell, I still hadn't been to a Healer yet, as I had instead hurried out ...

Fitzwallace looked at the Crystals blankly, which was odd considering they were supposed to be rare. Everyone else I talked to showed wanting and greedy faces when I flashed them before.
They knew they were valuable. Gear, enchantments, powering pretty ...

"We, the representatives of Sea Breeze Merchant House would like to meet with the leader of New Norfolk. Do you know where they are so we can discuss future cooperation?" The blueish-green human was looking for him and he didn't know why.

Vulwin stepped through the portal with only slight apprehension. This wasn't his first time traveling between Planets but it would be his first going so far. Usually, jumps between nearby Planets only took a few moments.
