33. A Helping Hand

“So what now?” Scule asked, peering at what had to be his own glowing notification. Vin briefly wondered what Scule’s tiny notifications would look like compared to his own, but he forced him...

32. The 1%

The tiny man raised an eyebrow, staring up at Shia. “...A job offer? Are you serious?”

“Deadly,” the elf grinned. “My friend and I here are planning something of a heist… and we c...

31. Two Small Problems

“What do you mean it’s gone?!”

“I mean it’s gone! The whole pouch is gone!” Shia said frantically, scanning the ground around them. “I swear, I just had it a few minutes ago! I ...

30. Just One Bite?

Shia’s plan required them to wait until nightfall, and it relied on a few too many assumptions for Vin’s taste. But in the end, they all agreed it was their best shot at making it into the lock...

29. Unfriendly Neighbors

“Look, it's not that I don’t think you’re strong… All I’m saying is a horse sized duck is a lot bigger than you think.”

“Perhaps… but if I don’t have my sword in this situat...

28. Spending Spree

New Elite Monster Discovered! 500 exp gained.

“No, really?!” He yelled, dismissing the notification as he took in the hulkish monster emerging from the sand before him. W...

27. It’s Coarse and Gets Everywhere

“So what’s the plan?” Shia asked as they made their way out of the Sacred Forest. As one last parting gift, Erik had pointed them in a direction that was free of any monsters, so they were ma...

26. The Giving Tree

Vin couldn’t help but let out a massive yawn as they made their way to the edge of the elven village, earning himself a raised eyebrow from Shia as they walked. The elf struck a far more imposing...

25. Extra Credit

It took two more days for Erik to finally finish his preparations, and Vin hadn’t spent that time idly. With his new Capstone in hand, Vin had delved deep into the few spells he knew and tried to...

24. Capstone

Vin spent the next hour getting berated by his new magic instructor. Apparently, what he’d done had been ‘idiotic,’ and ‘reckless,’ and ‘liable to get himself killed.’ According to Sh...

23. An Elven Opinion

Shia yawned, rolling over with a smile on her face as she realized the dream she’d been having about sleeping on a cloud had been entirely real. She’d been waiting for a chance to try out her m...

22. Elven Hospitality

As it turned out, the place that Erik had in mind for Vin’s stay was actually the now vacant house that had belonged to the Druid of the Divine before he went missing. The house had been empty fo...

21. Save the Trees

Vin blinked at the Ancient One as the strange tree-like man took another sip of his tea, breathing in the deep aroma before placing the cup down. As though he hadn’t just confessed to Vin that hi...

20. Tree Huggers

The elven village was every hippie’s wet dream come to life. Somehow the elves had managed to grow trees in such a way that they formed the very walls and ceilings of their houses, making every s...

19. A Helping Hand

Ignoring Alka’s taunt, Smohl stumbled over to the two elves that had gone down in a tangle of limbs when the Trunkback had thrown one at the other. Dropping hard to his knees, the elf checked the...

18. An Unexpected Guest

‘Come on, give me the reins, I can take ‘em!’

“You can not take them!” Vin hissed, earning himself a raised eyebrow from one of the closer elves. Clearing his...

17. Welcome to the Jungle

Vin took a deep breath in through his nose, savoring the fresh air and swaths of open meadow before him. After discovering new world fragments and roaming the open landscape, returning to camp had ...

16. I’m the Map!

Vin’s next few days on Edregon were spent doing what he probably should have done from the very beginning. Following Spur’s orders, Vin started in camp at the center of their fragment and trave...

15. So, Funny Story...

“The objective of these council meetings is to decide on the appropriate actions we should take as a whole moving forward, and to ensure each of the three class related factions making up our cam...

14. Decisions, Decisions

It turned out the answer to that question was the hastily thrown together mess hall. All it took was following the smell of roasting meat, and a few minutes later Vin found himself sitting under a ...

13. All Hail Democracy

‘This is your camp?’ Alka asked, clearly unimpressed as the two of them made their way through scattered bedrolls and shoddily put together tents on their quest to find Spur. Half...

12. The Woes of Leadership

Spur sighed, not even bothering to look up from the dozens of sheets of paper he had spread out across one of the many foldable tables they’d assembled in their temporary command center. He’d b...

11. Backseat Driver

Despite Alka’s desire to put the town that had trapped her for the last three months behind her, the group decided to spend one more night within the town’s borders. None of them were in any ru...

10. A Little Close for Comfort

“Samtha, do any of you three have the ability to detect secret compartments? Like, if someone was hiding something underground?”

“Yes,” she nodded, looking puzzled. “At least, to a ...

9. A Small Medium at Large

Vin stared at the glowing woman floating comfortably a few feet above the ground. Slowly getting to his feet, he brushed himself off and pursed his lips. “Sorry… you want me to do what exactly?...

8. Head Trauma is no Joke

It only took Vin about a mile of jogging down the dirt path before he stumbled upon the abandoned town. Located between a handful of the massive trees was a lifeless town without a single speck of ...

7. Death by Noodle

“They headed east from here,” the elder said, gesturing off into the distance. The two of them stood at the edge of the village while a handful of villagers watched them from a respectful dista...

6. Someone Get These People A Thesaurus

The faint sound of someone chiseling rock somewhere within the village was all that could be heard as Vin stared at the elder, trying to wrap his head around her words.

“I’m sorry… when...

5. Dónde Está La Biblioteca?

Boy I hope these guys know how to fight and I’m not about to get their entire village slaughtered, Vin thought as he ran down the hill; an actual chance of survival that didn’t involve...

4. Death Is A Good Motivator

As Vin walked, he carefully took in the surrounding area, keeping an eye out for anything unusual as he’d been instructed. So far, everything seemed rather… normal. If he hadn’t witnessed the...
