Ch 142 - I Avoid Becoming Another Tatermancer

Time to permanent another spell. The rare moment felt momentous. This would be my third permanent spell and I understood more about how vitally important choosing the right one ended up being.

Ch 141 - I Get a Set of Lincoln Logs

The entire gigantic body groaned and sagged, life draining away as I literally ripped its heart free. I got my first good look at its gem heart, a giant faceted blue crystal that cracked and splint...

Ch 140 - Pain Therapy

I tried pressing my mental advantage, but new mental defenses snapped into place, walling off its mind. The thing was so strong!

Before I could try Mana Beam again, the wood imprisoning my li...

Ch 139 - Physics and Magic Can Be a Deadly Combo

Back in the lava cavern, I floated up on my observation platform, rising several thousand feet until the narrowing cavern walls came together in a point. Solid rock blocked the way, forming a ceili...

Ch 138 - Lava Bath

The cavern I’d gotten punched through the mountain into was the molten heart of an active volcano. How was I even alive?

Lava bubbled all around, spitting boiling jets of molten flame into ...

Ch 137 - Spelunking, Sudden Death Variant

When I stepped around the last corner to the final meadow, the Colossus was staring right at me, its huge eyes glowing with a deep, blue light. It shouldn’t be able to see or sense me, and I risk...

Ch 136 - Same Old Tricks, But Worse

We’d cleared the entire valley, following its winding course for miles higher and higher into the mountains, killing one monster after another until we neared its ultimate end where it looked lik...

Ch 135 - I Make a Really Good Guess

I drove Scalebiter through the skull of the fourth undead troll, then leaped off, somersaulting away just before a boulder smashed through the troll corpse, exploding it in a spray of black gore be...

Ch 134 - Nigel Earns Another Steak

Within the hour, we wove up through canyons, ravines, and mountain saddles until we pushed more than 10 miles into the western mountains. I slowed in a high mountain meadow, carpeted with sparse gr...

Ch 133 - I Talk With a Dead Man

The person stepped around a far corner before I could zoom my vision on them, but I’d seen enough. Already that morning I’d found people turned into werewolves and sent back into town to kill. ...

Ch 132 - Defender of the Vale

“That’s fair,” Paul said, smoothly shifting gears while both Crystal and Elizabeth looked like they wanted to argue. “Initial reports suggest Noctarus is more than keeping his word.”

Ch 131 - I Get To Play Bartender

I kept my pace slow enough that anyone could have matched it. As I jogged toward the team of humans-turned-werewolves, I pulled an item from my inventory I had not used yet and nearly forgot about....

Ch 130 - Story Time

Jeeves woke me half an hour after dawn. I’d only managed maybe another 3 hours of sleep, but felt refreshed and eager to get out and hunt. Once I could plan on a full 4 hours, I’d use my new he...

Ch 129 - Third Wheel Woes

“Good evening, sir,” Jeeves greeted me as I jogged up to my castle.

“It is now.”

“Indeed. Shall I bring refreshments? Lady Ruby is in the billiard room with Nigel.”

�...

Ch 128 - I Write Magic Code

Noctarus pointed at the board. “Draw your rune. When you wish to activate it, focus your will on the rune and touch it with your mana.”

“You need to use your own mana to activate a rune...

Ch 127 - Runesmith

The final new thing I noticed in my inventory was a set of expandable bracelets, but they did not have boosts to defense.

“Tinkerfuse Restraints. Common. Invented by the quirky genius, Garr...

Ch 126 - Girls Are Suckers For Fur

I blinked a couple of times as I stared at the counter for my tier-6 mana crystals. It had jumped all the way up to 99! For a moment, the number didn’t seem to compute, then all I could do was la...

Ch 125 - The Promise of Eminent Domain

As Cyrus liked to say, excellent question. Immolation was the first of my two harvested spells, so that one would be replaced with whatever new spell I harvested. Immolation had saved my life twice...

Ch 124 - I Get a Full-Body Makeover

Some time later, consciousness peeked out from the dark hole it had been hiding in. I tried to blink open my eyes, but that just stabbed a spear of pure agony through my eye sockets.

Okay, do...

Ch 123 - Non-Surgeons Should Not Try Open-Heart Surgery

No! I channeled more of the incoming power from my Tesla Coil bracelet into my mind to keep my thoughts alert. I had more power now. All I needed to do was figure out a way to use it. It wanted to ...

Ch 122 - I Learn About Demon Dating Troubles

Cyrus had warned me the last time I used Immolation that if I left it active too long I might draw the attention of something I really didn’t want to deal with. Idiot! I should have remembered th...

Ch 121 - I Try Golfing With a Basketball

I reached the gory little glade just as Alpha and his pack arrived at the base of the ravine. It sounded like another dozen werewolves followed Alpha, and they all came on like a tide of death. I c...

Ch 120 - A Little Bit of Impotence Goes a Long Way

Within moments, the first pack of 5 werewolves showed up. They must be the scouts ranging ahead of the rest of the pack. Other howls still sounded a few miles back. That was probably Alpha and his ...

Ch 119 - Stalked, Stalking, Stalker

I paused to pet the Mastiff one more time, left him another steak, then headed back up to the tip of the little valley. On the way, I pulled up my Class Spells menu.

My class was still so new...

Ch 118 - A Hound in the Hand

I wanted to train more with mana, but time was growing short. The werewolves could already be on the hunt for me. I also needed to train with my other spells too and really internalize my new class...

Ch 117 - Nigel Practices Defenestration

Housekeeping note:

Based on voting from the most recent poll, I decided to change the relationship with Lucas and Isabella so that he actually proposed and she rejected and dumped him. His ri...

Ch 116 - Zombie Talks

Hey, fun announcement!

I just finished major edits to Nexus Runner book 2! This book is a monster, and it's amazing. With this chapter, you're close to halfway. Tons of incredible monsters an...

Ch 115 - Imaginary Friends

Tomas and Jane left to find their teams and report for wall guard duty. Neither Ruby nor Steve were in their tents, so I sent them a message, asking how they were doing.

Then I headed into to...

CH 114 - I Try to Plan Ahead For Once

All three of the other suites upstairs included spacious bedrooms with private baths with toilets, sinks, and large showers. My suite took up half the floor, with a giant four-poster bed, wardrobe,...

Ch 113 - Shining Light in Dark Corners

Jeeves arrived then, perfect timing, as always. He bowed and waved one hand. A free-standing clothing rack appeared, with 10 outfits hanging on it.

“Will any of these meet your needs, my la...
