2023-11-13 01:37:55 +0000 UTC View PostUpgrading his shadow bomb skill had taken Arthur the better part of the day. That left them a little under a week to finish rounding out the rest of his skills before their self-imposed time limit ...
2023-11-09 23:59:01 +0000 UTC View PostTalking to Alyssia was enlightening. It helped him refine the ideas he'd been working with and made them goals he could actually work towards. It turned out he wouldn't be making magic nukes anytim...
2023-11-04 23:59:00 +0000 UTC View PostArthur sat on the grassy plains across from Alyssia. After their brief encounter with the Guardian's domain, they'd decided to retreat and better prepare themselves. Their return journey had been a...
2023-11-02 23:59:01 +0000 UTC View PostWhen Arthur opened his eyes, he was in a different place. The wooden walls of the stable no longer surrounded him and he could feel an artificial breeze blowing on his skin, the sort that ...

2023-10-27 23:17:39 +0000 UTC View PostOkay guys, I've mostly recovered from my illness and am well on the way to recovery. The first two days were the worst, a time where I couldn't keep anything down, not even water. Things got better...

2023-10-04 22:59:00 +0000 UTC View PostEver since Arthur had first laid eyes on Alyssia, he’d wanted to spar her. That wasn’t his irrational half-breed title title talking. At least he hoped not. For as long as he could remember, Ar...
2023-09-30 22:59:01 +0000 UTC View Post“And yours…yours would have killed us all,”

2023-09-28 22:59:01 +0000 UTC View PostArthur woke up feeling like a black hole had decided to take up residence in his stomach. He was starving, and the fact that he could smell the tantalising aroma of grilled meat didn’t help matte...
2023-09-23 23:15:00 +0000 UTC View PostThe first time Arthur tried to replicate the effects of skill without the system's assistance hadn’t gone too well, and his seventeenth attempt wasn’t faring much better. That wasn’t to say h...

2023-09-02 22:59:01 +0000 UTC View PostTalking with Alyssia was an interesting experience, to say the least. The woman could talk for ages, to the point that she'd taken the most chatty person I know award from Elizabeth. I wis...
