Chapter 122 - Suffer, Sinners, Suffer

Rel stared at the Raid Boss in horror.

“Crystal Merciful,” Kur whispered. “Is that one of those flying things?”

Wings stretched behind the monster's back, maybe about 30-feet long on either side. The spikes, now revealed to be the legs of the thing, twitched and moved.

A...

Chapter 121 - Raid Boss

“How many of these things are there?” Mul shouted, as he drove his aura coated fist into a downed, large spider's face. The damned thing was the size of a Sentry.

“As many as there are!” Gad shouted. “Keep punching them!”

“What do you think I’m doing!”

Kur look...

Chapter 120 - Holding The Side

“Oh, my Crystal!” Jul shouted. “They’re coming from above!”

Nar looked up and found a massive swarm of flying enemies emerging from hundreds of holes across the ceiling.

“What now?” he whispered.

“Archers! Ranged! Above us! Above us! Kill them, kill them all!” ...

Extra chapter out today

Hey everyone,

There was a bit of a mix up in the Royal Road side of things... I forgot to release a chapter XD
So, that means there will be an extra chapter released there and here as well!

I hope everyone is having a great day/night!

Chapter 119 - We Fight For Our Forgiveness

The Climbers were assembled.

“I actually can’t believe there’s so many idiots with us,” Mul whispered.

“Maybe they all think like me,” Kur whispered back.

It was indeed surprising.

Nar had expected half of them or more to take the left path. Instead, it looked ...

Chapter 118 - The Night Before

Both parties waited anxiously for the return of their leaders.

Kur and Row had already left an hour ago, joining the mass of party leaders heading out to announce each party’s decision to the Raid Leaders. Like Kur, Row had also gone to meet Juf.

“It's the only way. I’m not goin...

Chapter 117 - And We Thought It Was Over

He stopped, breathing hard, and looked around him.

Where were they?

He pulled on his [Hearing], hoping to catch something, but all he heard was the diffuse sound of a thousand whispered conversations.

Groaning, he decided to make his way to the chasm. It might be easier to spot ...

Chapter 116 - Gains At The End

Nar carried Rel back to the sleeping party, and dropped her back onto her makeshift bed without waking her up. The alfin mumbled something in her sleep, but didn’t wake.

He sat down at his own spot and brought up his UI.

As expected, the notification sign flashed at him.

Chapter 115 - Rest & Recovery

“Hey! Look who I found?”

His party, or at least the members that were there, looked up at Jaz’s shout. Row sat, by herself, staring off towards the chasm. Around her, Cor sat also by herself, with her eyes closed, clearly using her [Meditation] skill. That left Lim, the other archer, ...

Chapter 114 - The End Of The Path

For the next four days, they ran as fast and for as long as they could, only stopping when Cen or Tuk, who had the lowest stamina, could run no longer.

Nothing came out to bar their path. There were no obstacles, and no mysteriously broken parts in their path either. The yellow arrows stret...

Chapter 113 - Unclean (Part 2)

I shouted and begged everywhere I went, crying to get food. But nobody replied to me.

The streets were empty. Our neighborhood was empty, and I was too scared to go inside other people's homes, for fear of what I might find there. The same smell was coming from all around me. And from those...

Chapter 112 - Unclean (Part 1)

I don’t remember exactly what I was doing. I think I was playing hide and seek with the other kids.

We had just finished a round and were about to start another one.

“Fey!”

Out of nowhere, Fey’s dad came running towards us.

“Dad?” she asked, looking confused. �...

Chapter 111 - Tell Me About Yourself

The sound of their desperate breathing filled the corridor they found themselves in.

At about 10 by 10-feet in dimension, the corridor was as non-descript as many other hundreds they had walked through before.

“We’re taking a break, Rel,” Kur panted, as Nar grabbed her off his b...

Figuring out scheduling on Patreon

Hi everyone!

I've been trying to figure out scheduling on the platform, but it loves to throw things out of order on my end.
I'm keeping an eye on it for now, but please, let me know if any chapters appear out of order.

Hope everyone has a great day!

Chapter 109 - Sudden Recovery

They walked as fast as they could.

Nar walked up front. He had managed to recover a good quarter of his aura, but his feet still dragged across the floor and his mind was still a jumble of half put together thoughts.

Cen was certain that his state was a result of him draining his exte...

Chapter 108 - Punishment In Salvation

Rel clutched her leg. Blood drained from her crooked, destroyed knee.

The pain radiating from it was excruciating, but she barely felt it.

A haze had fallen over everything. It was like a dream. Or a nightmare.

You shouldn’t have helped him.

Shut up…<...

Chapter 107 - Taken

“Inside! Inside!” Gad shouted.

“What’s happening?” Kur asked, as the others tripped and stumbled on their way into the room.

“Those things are outside!” Jul said. “They tried to grab Cen!”

Gad came in last, holding her shield up before her and walking backwards...

Chapter 106 - One Day, We Will All Laugh About This

“Why is it doing that?” Mul asked.

“I don’t know, just wait,” Kur said.

They were piled on top of each other, in the tight space of a stairwell. All of them were trying to get a look at the slowly spinning gray arrow at their feet.

“Are you okay?” Nar asked Rel. 2024-12-03 11:30:02 +0000 UTC View Post

Chapter 105 - Little Sister

“This one is the emptiest so far,” Jul said.

“Alright, let’s stop here then.”

A collective sigh escaped the party. Even Tuk was more than happy to sleep with some dead people at that stage.

Kur guided them to one of the corners of the room, right by the broken-down tub...

Small Update

Hi everyone! I hope everyone's had a great weekend!

Things have been super manic on my side, with RR, Patreon and then a family emergency that threw everything into even more wack. So, I just wanted to give everyone a small update!

First, I had to make a change. Chapter 48 and...

Chapter 104 - Crazy Questions

He couldn’t focus. He found it impossible to.

Even with the threat of imminent death or capture dangling over his head, his mind kept spinning around that glowing tube.

Aether. The real deal.

He had no doubt that that was what they had seen, and even though he had been wishing...

Chapter 103 - Real

His thoughts crumbled, and he was only distantly aware of himself seizing on the floor, knocking and breaking the corpses around and under him.

A moment later, he was back into himself, and with a pounding headache to boot.

“Are you okay?” Jul asked him

Her hands rushed over...

Chapter 102 - Gray Arrows

“Something you would like to say?” Kur asked.

“Is there a point?” Mul replied.

The party stood by the first gray arrow, facing the long corridor of dead people.

“You can voice your opinion,” Kur said. “I don’t want any resentment to fester.”

“What’s t...

Chapter 101 - Broken Path

They walked away from that hole, and the orange became yellow once more.

They were dragging their feet and barely standing upright, but nobody wanted to sleep next to that damned thing. They were sick of Pressure and of that orange light.

Yes. Even Nar was.

After a while, Kur or...

Chapter 100 - More Than A Party

“I can see the end!” Rel shouted down at him.

“Oh, thank the Crystal!” Nar muttered.

He had been forced to dip into his [Strength] and [Stamina] to make it as far as he had. Parrying those few spears had wrecked him, sapping the strength out of his muscles.

The air coole...

Chapter 99 - Losing Control

Nar panted in the sweltering darkness.

He breathed. He inhaled with everything that he had. But it wasn’t enough.

A weight crushed his throat.

He wanted to puke. He wanted to pass out.

He couldn’t breathe.

He couldn’t breathe!

“Use aura!” someone shou...

Chapter 98 - Humbled

THUM!

THUM!

Why were the steps sounding so fast now? And so close?

THUM! THU-THUM! THUM!

“Keep running!” Kur shouted.

Nar tried to push the giant pursuer from his mind and to focus on the guardians closing in on either side of the party.

Two on the left...
