I awoke with heavy eyes and a sore body, yet at the same time, I felt surprisingly refreshed, at least mentally. I let out a yawn and licked my chops, then looked down to my side to see Lilly curled up into a ball beside me and Grick using her as a pillow. The goblin was snoring obnoxiously with ...

I stepped towards Grick and let out a yip. He turned his head, clearly not knowing what I wanted.
So how do I communicate this to him?
I walked over to the crystal vein and set my pawn down, then tilted my head back the way we had come.
“Puppy… tries to tell me something?”...

Grick led us down along the riverside, the path sloping lower and lower. It was hard to gauge with no sunlight to go by, but I got the feeling this river just continued to head deeper and deeper underground. I had to wonder about these “bad things” Grick would occasionally mutter about whilst...

The creature’s low growl opened into a throaty snarl as it inched closer to the brook’s edge. Jessica let the mask slip from her hand as she held her spear up, backing away slowly. Iris’s stance lowered as her hackles raised, and she barked sharply at the creature.
“Iris,” Jessica...

Jessica clutched herself against the dragon as tightly as she could, with Iris sandwiched under her chest. The pup’s head was peeking out from under her, ears folded back, and she seemed to be just as terrified as they soared through the sky at incredible speed. Meanwhile, Valrok, her father in...

This wasn’t my first time advancing my development stage, nor evolving to a new path. But this was different.
A glow consumed my body as a rush of warmth spread through me. I could see the aura I was radiating, lighting the dark tunnel around me, and as I looked down at my paws, I realize...

I sat on my haunches beside the stream, staring into the water. It seemed rather deep; I’d be well over my head by going in, but I think a human would only be up to their chest at the deepest parts.
Occasionally, I saw the shadow of a fish swim by, but I was not sure about how to go about...

She was grateful for that, as combat training tended to be one humiliation after anothe...

I brought Lily back to the skylight cavern, where I figured she’d be safer as I took time to explore the tunnels and figure out how many red masks may be down here searching for us.
The sky above was darkening, and I was less worried about red masks flying into this cavern at night. If th...

When me and Lily were done eating our latest and greatest kill yet, my tummy felt quite full. If I tried to eat any more, I was sure I’d get sick or throw up. I guess I couldn’t just take eating magic monsters for granted as an unlimited fix, but it certainly went a long way.

This was too exciting.
Veil of Shadows would work amazingly in the dark tunnels and caverns of this cave system. Combined with Pulse Sense, I could eliminate foes or at least be heavily favored with the element of surprise. The only problem until now is that my skills were so limited, I cou...

This certainly was a promising find. Already, I got a nice boost to my Attunement, and perhaps with just a level up and another achievement, I’ll have everything I need to unlock that stage 4 Path.

I had a rather restless, guilt-ridden night. But the following morning, I felt surprisingly refreshed. I awoke with a yawn and was met with a lick to the face from Lily.

An apex predator, huh? Though, I still needed to make it to stage 5 development and unlock an achievement by the same name. Not only that, but the attributes required were a bit steep, so I’d either need to rack up some achievements or some levels in the meantime.

Right before my eyes, Lily grew slightly bigger. It was subtle enough that if I hadn't watched her do it, I may not have even noticed at first. But no, she wasn't just bigger; she was thicker. Not only that, but also the purple of her eyes became slightly more vivid.
She should be stage 3 n...

This underground cave system was truly a maze. Though, I was thankful for this, as we would have had a hard time losing our pursuers otherwise.

Jessica had never realized just how easy her life on earth was. She used to hate living in a trailer in the middle of nowhere, and despite having a fairly calm home life, she didn’t think very highly of it.

As we continued towards the glow at the end of the current passageway, the glow just kept getting brighter. Likewise, the scent of water became more present, and once the downward path evened out and opened to a spacious cavern, it was obvious why.
There was a huge lake down here, and the r...

Lily and I charged in from opposite sides of the red mask. I hoped Lily understood the danger those weapons possessed; especially at her low level, one wrong move could be fatal. But she had a trickster Path—she was born into this world with a System, and that is what she’d chosen.

As soon as we got back into the den, we both shook ourselves dry as best we could, spraying the walls with an impressive amount of water. When that was done, Lily was still shivering, so I lay down beside her and she rested her muzzle across my back.
From this position, I could tell I’d g...

I survived the forest at far too low of a level, when I should have been nothing but prey myself. All the while, I had battled with the idea that maybe things would be okay. Part of me already knew what I would find up here, but I had been denying it to keep myself moving forward.

I trotted along beside the frog man as he led me back through the woods. I held the bone in my mouth and occasionally looked up at him to get used to his strange features.

I didn’t want to trust the frog man.
Everything about him set my fur on edge—the calm way he smoked that pipe, the fact that Pulse Sense didn’t pick him up at all, and the way he seemed to know things when he set those milky eyes on me.
I prowled forward slowly until I decided o...
