Interlude 2.4: Heralas

Heralas glared down at the whimpering string bean of an Elf, hands twitching, fingers itching to wring the life out of this spoiled little pillock. That voice! By the gods, it scraped at his patien...

Chapter 79: Phasing Through

For a good while, I prowled around the camp’s edge, cloaked in shadows, taking in every detail. A few tidbits emerged. First off, there were two separate patrol teams, alongside mages and archers...

Chapter 78: Sneaking In

Notifications flashed in the corner of my vision as each of them fell, but I closed them with a thought, keeping my focus sharp on Tharen. His sword remained taut in his grip, his face still red wi...

Chapter 77: A Dragonling's Retribution

Ah, there’s a certain quaintness to pain, isn’t there? The way it creeps into your mind, settles in like an unwelcome guest. But here’s the rub — reach a certain threshold, and it starts to...

Chapter 76: A Bruised Ego

[Quick health update: Been dealing with a recurring fever since yesterday. Won't affect the updates, though, they’ll carry on as usual, just with me feeling a bit crappier than usual, lol. Just a...

Chapter 75: Cornered

The moment I jolted awake, I knew precisely what needed doing. Snatched up that scrappy little bag I’d whipped together earlier, stashed with my precious monster cores. Then I shook awake my nook...

Chapter 74: Wake Up

The options flickered up before me once more, and I didn’t dawdle a tick sifting through them. I settled on Sweeping Surge for Tail Whip—it would give it a lovely broaden...

Chapter 73: The Technique

[Welp, sorry for the delay! Bit of an IRL snag. Had to go out of station, so I couldn't get any writing done. Ended up finishing this chap halfway on my mobile tho, lmao. Enjoy the chappie!]

Chapter 71: The Horde

With a grin that was half-mad and wholly triumphant, I took off, an oversized Creeper and some ape-brained brute tearing after me like rabid hounds. The Creeper thought itself clever, slipping on i...

Chapter 69: What in the blazes was going on here?

[A tad shorter than usual (not by much, though—I just found a perfect cliffhanger, muahaha! SUFFER! Kidding! Don’t grab your pitchforks and unsub, pls!) because it was my birthday today, so tim...

Chapter 68: Stalking Dragon

I wasn't too far from my nook, that reluctant little corner of the forest I'd begrudgingly started to call "home." Close enough to the line of havoc the Behemoth’s rampage had carved through the ...

Chapter 67: The Science Of Runes

It seemed like there was only one option available for Mana Manipulation’s advancement: Advanced Mana Manipulation. Practical, precise, but… not exactly mind-blowing. Then again, ...

Chapter 66: Runes and Matrices

[Just a quick update on the schedule! Still five chapters a week, but I’m keeping the release days flexible, for the sake of my sanity, lol. So the couple of days I take off will be a bit random....

Chapter 65: The Wave

"Alright, so the first time I laid eyes on them, I just figured they were some sort of mana. You know, the usual, anything that seemed plausible. But then I noticed they were completely unaffected ...

Chapter 64: Something Terrible Awaits Beyond

[Looks like I might need to pick up the pace if I want to hit the ending I envisioned for Book 1, haha. We’ve already crossed the 150k word mark! woo-hoo! I was aiming to wrap the first volume ar...

Chapter 63: Choices

I needed something to carry all this lot. Leaving these precious monster cores scattered about was hardly an option. And if I’d had something useful on hand when I first stumbled upon that Noctis...

Chapter 62: Tired

First step: observe.

Their routine was painfully predictable. The elven mage would channel her spells, unleashing destruction while her two armoured warriors stood guard, ready to carve throu...

Chapter 61: Playing on my own terms

Something about the whole affair rubbed me entirely the wrong way. For starters, Lotte had let slip that the System had all but disowned humanoid species—something about a long-standing grudge ag...

Chapter 59: Uh-Oh!

I kept my eyes peeled on the brutal mayhem ahead, creeping ever closer. The battlefield was pure bedlam. Craters gouged out by the behemoth’s rampage. Earth ripped apart where its colossal body h...

Chapter 58: The 'Real' Monsters

There was, unfortunately, a limit to how far my air sense could stretch. Used to be a meagre 15 metres—barely worth boasting about, really—but after the last upgrade, it grudgingly pushed itsel...

Chapter 57: Little Badger
