I hoped to get Bridget and Sakura back up to their old levels as soon as possible. I was a bit jealous of how easy those who could simply kill monsters had it with respect to leveling. I suppose pe...
2023-10-30 15:00:11 +0000 UTC View PostSakura and Bridget kept me busy for a good long while. By the end of it, I had gained four levels to my race. I was now level 49 and a good ways towards level 50. Bridget and Sakura were both back ...
2023-10-29 15:00:01 +0000 UTC View PostI spent the next few days intensely focused on crafting. I enchanted Mana Bombs, Mega Mana Bombs, Mana Swords, and a few odds and ends that showed up amongst my blueprints as I leveled. Nothing cam...
2023-10-28 15:00:01 +0000 UTC View PostWhen I woke, it was to warm hands fussing over me. I hadn't been as exhausted as I'd been the previous night in a long, long time—not since before the arrival of the System and all the extra stat...

They had no...
2023-10-25 15:00:06 +0000 UTC View PostFrank and Marcus were waiting for me on the hill with the rest of their men. The entire group was armed and had been ready to help fight off anyone chasing me.
"I'm alright, you can stand dow...
2023-10-23 15:00:02 +0000 UTC View Post"Let's start things off right. I'm Carter, and this is Frank." I gestured to myself and then to Frank behind me.
I waited a moment. A few seconds of silence passed before the man spoke again....
2023-10-22 15:00:02 +0000 UTC View PostWe ran through the woods back to the position Frank and his men had taken on a hill overlooking the swamp. I had to stop a few times for him to catch up, but after the third time, I tossed him on m...

2023-10-20 15:00:03 +0000 UTC View PostWe wasted an entire morning the seventh day I was here in town, training behind the inn. I say wasted, but any time you can get an expert warrior nearly three times your level to train you, it can ...
2023-10-18 15:00:13 +0000 UTC View PostMyrina, Sakura, and Bridget got along much better than I’d worried they would. I feared that was partially because I'd asked them to save whatever the female equivalent of dick measuring was for ...
2023-10-16 15:00:04 +0000 UTC View PostMyrina stayed cuddled up to me all the way back to her room. The healer followed us, tending to the two of us until we were both as close to fully healed as we could be without time to rest.

2023-10-15 15:00:05 +0000 UTC View PostMyrina and I stood across from each other in the Samhain Clan's arena once again. This time, the stands weren't empty. Someone must have noticed the two of us squaring up to one another and gone in...
2023-10-14 17:08:59 +0000 UTC View PostThe first thing we did after squaring things off with Misa, was to get Sakura and Bridget a room in a local inn. I’d picked one of the nicer ones, since we had more money than we knew what to do ...

I've gotten a lot of questions about this, so here's the official preorder! Coming out soon! I will do another announcement when it goes live.
2023-10-13 02:40:03 +0000 UTC View PostIt took me a few minutes to find the orc woman Myrina favored. I worried that she might be off-duty and that I'd need to use someone else, but after a bit of scouting around, I found her.
I h...
2023-10-11 15:00:03 +0000 UTC View PostOur next quest from the Samhain Clan proved easier than the first, but I personally would have preferred fighting more monsters and bandits. I had to lug Myrina around town and slowly pry from her ...

2023-10-08 15:00:03 +0000 UTC View PostThe truly wonderful thing about unlocking the Charisma stat was how easy it made clean up after a battle. A bandit had exploded, and the merchant we saved was covered in gore. And yet Myrina cleane...
2023-10-07 15:00:05 +0000 UTC View PostWe dropped off Cyra's food with the courier, much to Myrina's disappointment. After that, Myrina went to check in with her mother.

2023-10-06 17:59:01 +0000 UTC View PostIt's been a while since I've updated the release days, but my chapter backlog goes up to chapter 60 now, which should be enough to cover editing time and still give you guys stuff to read, while al...
2023-10-05 15:34:13 +0000 UTC View PostI got quite a bit more work done on my Mana Bombs before I finally heard from Myrina. It wasn’t until late the next morning when the token I still wore around my neck began glowing.
Artwork is from Dutch again. He liscensed some commercial stock images and then I think edited them with AI.
The first thing I did when Bridget, Sakura, and I returned to my farmhouse was check on my stats. I'd gained a few levels and had points to allocate. I quickly spent them, bolstering my Intelligenc...
2023-10-02 15:00:03 +0000 UTC View PostI joined the battle to find the fighting well underway. Chuck was bruised and battered, but with his regeneration, he'd be alright. He must have taken a club to the side of the head. Kyle was the o...
2023-09-30 17:00:04 +0000 UTC View PostChuck's team guarded our rear, waiting to reinforce us. I carried on ahead with Bridget and Sakura at my sides with the other two militia behind us. The woman, Kerrie, held a bow, and the man, Rick...
2023-09-29 15:00:05 +0000 UTC View PostI spent the next few days putting in a good chunk of the day patrolling the area around Crownhill and helping various teams who'd joined up with the militia gain some levels. Though I couldn't gain...
2023-09-27 17:27:18 +0000 UTC View PostI came back outside to find nothing but crumbs left on the table from the food Bridget and I had laid out. "I guess the people here really were hungry!" I said with a laugh.
