Chapter 83 – Day 210 (Part 2) – Completely Unexpected

We made our way back to the dungeon entrance and camped nearby for the night. The bodies had already disappeared. I felt a cold breeze and went on edge, nothing. I was not afraid of the dark, but t...

Chapter 82 – Day 210 – Ambush

I watched as twelve people arrived outside the dungeon. It was almost time for a reset. They really weren’t messing around about getting skills. I stepped out from behind a tree and was quickly s...

Chapter 81 – Day 204 (Part 2) – The Map Key

“There has to be more?” Ruth asked.

“You know me too well. This is big. Each area is a square about the same size with four monster types in each zone. One terrain feature with a dungeo...

Chapter 80 – Day 204 – Declaration of War

I woke up in the morning and saw Tyrese and Ken waiting for me outside.

“Let’s go,” I said, not feeling very charitable to them at the moment. We went to the center of the plaza where p...

Chapter 79 – Day 203 (Part 2) – No Good Options

We just stood there in a silence. A Captain finally ran up to Tyrese. “We have swept the areas near the plaza. Nothing found. No one suspicious. Keep up the search and patrols?” Tyrese looked a...

Chapter 78 – Day 203 – Attack From the Front and Behind

I looked through my notebook as people got ready for the start of the day. I had spoken with people who had chosen skills and got their feedback on the skills and their respective costs. Nothing gr...

Chapter 77 – Day 197 – A Trip

“Ten chests, 10,000 5-point crystals each. Eleventh chest, 8,000 5-point crystals for 540,000 points. Bob already took his cut. Two contracts drawn up for 250,000 each, already signed, just need ...

Chapter 76 – Day 196 (Part 3) – Business Finds a Way

I entered the store and there were a number of colored drawings laid out on a couple of tables.

“Welcome, welcome.” I looked at the young woman who stood up. “This is my Outfit Store an...

Chapter 75 – Day 196 (Part 2) – The Worth of an Eye

I just had conversation with a guard who had come up to me and told me something concerning. I was unsure how I wanted to handle it. It wasn’t a betrayal, but it was a concern. It could wait and ...

Chapter 74 – Day 196 – Return

“Huh, someone is trying to break in,” I said as we made the trek back to Purgatory.

“You just know?” Ruth asked.

“Yes, I wonder who would be so daring during daylight.”

Chapter 73 – Day 185 – Meeting in the Wilderness

Well, it had happened. A group had made it out here. I counted four people at our camp with a dark green cart. They stayed away from our cart and weren’t poking around. I had been observing them ...

Chapter 72 – Day 166 – Time to G-G-G-Grind

Tom, Ruth, and I left through the East gate and made our way across the small wolf grassland. I had a reinforced pack with my spare outfit in it. Hopefully I wouldn’t need to use it, but at least...

Chapter 71– Day 165 – Keeping Up Appearances

“Tyrese, Ken,” I greeted the two as they came to the second floor of the Gray Duck.

“Michael,” Tyrese greeted me.

“Good to see that you are still alive. The rumor mill is expl...

The map of the Systemic Lands on Day 161 I made for reference.

Chapter 70– Day 164 – Rematch

We reached the vine area of the cliffs. I cleared out all the nearby pigs along with Ruth. I had recovered from the sonic attack, but I would not say no to a restoration when I returned to Purgator...

Chapter 69 – Day 161 – Boss Battle

“Hmm, that is a shame,” I muttered for the tenth time since Tom didn’t have any energy to use his new skill of Grass Blade. It would form a blade out of grass of the desired length b...

Chapter 68 – Day 158 – Skill Points

“Well, that was easy enough.” The place was on the same timer as the dungeons near Purgatory. Reset with the arrival. I looked over at Ruth and Tom. “The other location?” I asked.

“...

Lucas

“What a mess,” I let out a long sigh and held my head in my hands.

“Maybe we should have let him kill people. At least then…” Marcos muttered.

“...

Chapter 66 – Day 156 (Part 2) – A Bad Joke

The plaza was filled with starving people all sitting around uselessly. Several people glanced over our way. I looked at the pillars and there was a cleared space around them with ten guards, a tab...

Chapter 65 – Day 156 – The Cost of Being Rude

The next day we went South for a bit and then I had us turn West. We ran into the blue floating rock monsters. I then had us go back to the sword dervishes and continue South. I made a note of the ...

Chapter 64 – Day 152 – Salty

“Nine more,” I said.

“Same,” Ruth replied.

“We beat one, we can defeat the rest,” I said.

“You mean you did, and you will have to defeat them. The amount of skill at...

Chapter 63 – Day 151 – Western Zone

“There, see it?” I pointed out the largish lizard that was laying down next to a couple of rocks in the deadlands.

“I see it now,” Ruth said while staring intently. I looked over at T...

Chapter 62 – Day 150 (Part 6) – A Long Day

The cart was fine when we exited the dungeon. I had brought Tom down with me and kept him in the back and made Ruth hold a torch. She had been mostly silent after her huge mistake. While other peop...

Chapter 61 – Day 150 (Part 5) – Mistakes All Around

“Carry the torch,” I said and looked at Ruth. She froze up.

“I…I forgot to get any torches,” she said. I slowly turned to look at her. That was a huge oversight.

“Really? We...

Chapter 60 – Day 150 (Part 4) – Bravery

The rest of the questions were fairly pointless as people were tired after everything that had happened. I noticed they were forming small groups talking to each other. I kept an eye and ear out in...

Chapter 59 – Day 150 (Part 3) – A Speech

“Silence, anyone interrupting will be kicked out of the Meeting Chamber and if they resist, they will then be executed, without exception.” The guards had their weapons drawn so it looked like ...

Chapter 58 – Day 150 (Part 2) – A Wild Challenge Appears

“There has been a challenge,” Tyrese said.

“I heard. One of your men apparently.” Tyrese’s face froze for a second at that.

“Not one of my men any longer.”

“So bef...

Chapter 57 – Day 150 – Running Errands

Ruth and I split up the 5-point crystals we had collected, each taking half which was about 130 each. I had managed to get 4,128 50-point crystals over the last 14 days. It was a bit slow since we ...

Chapter 56 – Day 141 – A Big Boom

It took a day to change locations nearer to the giant stone pillars and another day to locate the dungeon. I took time to mark up a map in my book. With notes on the monsters as well. I let out a s...
