“Finally back!”
Standing before Grayrock Town’s gate—nowhere near as grand as Barry’s—Gauss and the others let a faint sliver of relief slip into their voices.
They were u...
Only when their feet touched solid ground did their taut nerves begin to ease.
Behind them, the labyrinth’s vast, misshapen mouth loomed darker and more inscrutable in the night—and unde...
With the challenge trial over, everything fell silent. The raucous insectfolk phantoms vanished, and the air no longer thrummed with wing-buzz and chitter.
Only the three of them remained, s...
A warm current poured into Gauss in an instant.
It wasn’t a scorching heat, but a perfectly measured, gentle, and mighty energy—like sinking into a hot spring.
An unprecedented co...
Thinking it over now, he realized the distant Briar Behemoth wasn’t actually stupid.
Right from their opening exchanges it had used its vine-tails to intercept magic missiles, showing off ...
Standing in the center of the arena, Gauss and the others suddenly felt the world around them shift.
A hard white spotlight dropped from overhead, flooding the middle of the ring with brilli...
The second haul of clay was just enough to shape a goblin at normal size.
Gauss and the others were rolling up their sleeves, ready to “fish” the burrowing worm up a third time the same ...
Gauss’s voice was almost swallowed by the rising rumble underfoot.
The flagstone path heaved like a living thing and shattered.
Something was waking beneath the earth.

The moment Gauss dropped Ghoul Form, his thighs went weak— that surging power drained in an instant.
A hollow fatigue washed through his body.
“—huh—”
He let out a lo...
By the campfire.
Before long, a large white mosquito took shape, lifelike and crisp.
The formless “mosquito spirits” around Gauss streamed in at the same time.
Its wings qu...
Gauss weighed the pros and cons, hesitated a moment, then decided.
“Let’s scout toward the hidden room first. Once we’ve got eyes on it, we’ll decide whether to go in.”
Comp...
That was the haul from last time they entered the labyrinth and killed that mud golem on the first level.
Aside from a bunch of mud, they’d also picked up a lump of white clay—magical-it...
“I’ll check once more.”
“Meat, greens, fruit, ration bars…”

“Cough, cough!”
Gauss downed several strips of jerky in a row.
Only when warmth began to spread through him did he exhale in relief.
He finally had the space to think back ...
Gauss studied the spot for a long while and became certain the small clearing up ahead was the lowest point in the whole valley.
“Right there?”
Serandur followed Gauss’s pointin...
With mixed feelings, Gauss walked the country lane.
The gate guard led him straight to the village head’s house—standard procedure for village-side commissions.
After showing the...
Over the next few days—
Gauss and Serandur, with time on their hands, picked up several more goblin- and small-monster-related commissions nearby.
They were small-scale commissions ...
Searing yet icy energy coursed swiftly through Gauss’s body, soaking every limb and bone in that strange, alien power.
First to change—again—was the toughness of his skin.
He co...
It might have been the loss of cover behind him—or the killing aura rolling up from his rear.
Theo’s back went ice-cold; sweat soaked his rough linen shirt.
“Run!”

Leaving Barry by the west gate, the massive walls dwindled behind them.
Gauss rode his chocobo, rising and falling with its stride, eyes full of the open, magnificent view.
Now he tru...
Hailier circled Gauss twice, clicking her tongue inwardly in amazement.
It wasn’t that she’d never seen people change—but those were changes measured in years.
A cheerful childh...
Serandur hesitated a moment but ultimately kept his question to himself.
They weren’t true teammates yet; prying into someone’s strength was taboo.
But sitting and waiting was dul...
Gauss had been braced to hear some other kind of request, and he’d steeled himself for it.
He hadn’t expected a question so… unrelated.
It had that simple yes-or-no, answer-or q...
Gauss opened his eyes.
The dazzling sunlight made him reel.
He raised a hand by reflex to block it, mind a muddle.
“Where… am I…?”
His memory had a brief gap, li...
Gauss was now as far from the adult as the nest allowed—on the opposite side—putting the maximum distance between them. At the adult’s earlier movement speed, it wouldn’t be closing that ga...
2025-08-20 20:37:47 +0000 UTC View PostGauss’s memory was razor-sharp now.

For instance, that corner he’d just flashed past hadn’t existed on the way...
“Go!”
He shouted—and moved.
Almost simultaneously he unleashed Enhanced Leap and Brute Force. A surge of raw power flooded his body.
