A Novel Approach chapter 117
The trip out to the forest was pretty easy. A group of Ascendants can move shockingly fast over land, even when suppressed by a high level planet. When we arrived at the location in question, I was...

2025-08-01 16:54:50 +0000 UTC View PostThe truce was hashed out pretty quickly, and we shared our information without reservation. They all looked unsettled, and I didn’t blame them. I wasn’t exactly feeling balanced and carefree my...
2025-08-01 02:31:10 +0000 UTC View Post“So, we’re looking at twenty five hundred total?” I asked Crell as Callie checked my tie. “Twenty five B-rankers, two hundred C-rankers, and twenty three hundred D-rank, give or take. Can w...
2025-07-31 01:55:32 +0000 UTC View PostThe first person to reach me as I left the arena was, to my complete lack of surprise, my wife, who hit me like a bulldozer and nearly took me off my feet, her arms clamping down around me so hard ...
2025-07-29 16:24:34 +0000 UTC View PostThe rest of the day passed in a blur. Sometimes a blur of pain, sometimes of tension. Alanna was a brutal taskmaster, but an effective one. I learned a LOT about countering swordmasters. I wouldn...
2025-07-29 00:37:50 +0000 UTC View PostAs I suspected, Crell had zero leads on how to find an A-rank blacksmith here. Even a particularly talented B-rank seemed out of the question at the moment, sadly. So I just headed to bed after the...
2025-07-25 16:27:17 +0000 UTC View PostIt was shocking to me that no one seemed at all surprised by the colossal show of power that the auctioneer had just unleashed. They seemed IMPRESSED, don’t get me wrong, or at least the people w...
2025-07-25 00:30:11 +0000 UTC View PostWe were able to find an auction pretty easily. I wasn’t surprised, really, the city was one of only ten on this side of the planet where B-rankers could congregate, and B-rankers were hardly the ...
2025-07-24 00:19:29 +0000 UTC View PostObviously, I accepted. Fade was a complete monster in combat from what I could tell, someone who stood at the absolute peak of the heirworld in terms of battle skill. Having him and his people on b...
2025-07-23 01:18:48 +0000 UTC View PostOnce my cousins were gone, Crell approached me about another meeting, this one with one of the locals. “Well, the plan worked like a charm,” my advisor said as he dropped down into the chair ac...
2025-07-22 00:08:01 +0000 UTC View PostDerrick was the first to arrive. I’m somehow not surprised, Derrick reminds me uncomfortably of Abel, and my mentor is never late to a party unless it’s fashionable. Unlike Abel though, Derrick...
2025-07-18 21:43:07 +0000 UTC View PostI considered what I needed to do for a while after we arrived in Veltheim. Crell had secured us an entire boarding house…somehow. He refused to elaborate on how, and every time I tried to push he...
2025-07-17 23:19:41 +0000 UTC View PostThe rest of the labyrinth was as obnoxious as it was frustrating. We caught several more candidates, some we let go, some we trapped and left behind. When all was said and done, at the end of the o...
2025-07-16 22:56:04 +0000 UTC View PostWe stopped for the night after traveling for another few hours. We didn’t run into any new candidates, thankfully, and I was able to condense the mile wide liquid rock swamp into a complet...
