Pausing.

Aster here, in a rather miserable puddle. :(

While I've been striving to still write chapters even in the midst of the summer madness, I'm entirely dissatisfied with their quality. I technica...

Chapter 163 (v2)

"Anything good?" Gordon asked as Levi stared into his system interface.

"Yeah. Very interesting stuff here. One physical attacker, one tank. Their mana gains are ridiculous." As he was speaki...

Chapter 162 (Laurence)

Laurence led the way, setting the pace as fast as they could maintain. Perhaps a bit higher, a few times.

As they got used to each other the traveling went easier, the group steadily warming ...

Chapter 161

Levi snapped his eyes closed and took quick stock of his situation. Unable to move, but aware of the battle once again.

Something was attached to his face, claws gripping each side of his hea...

The soul-seeker shuddered as Skarm impacted. It tried to whirl on this new attacker, but Levi took advantage of its momentary distraction to step forward into its reach and stab upward with a Beast...

Chapter 159

Levi highly doubted that ever before had anyone constructed a pair of anti-soul-seeker goggles out of a pair of Destruction tokens and a shadevine. And... to be entirely honest, there was probably ...

Chapter 159

Levi slammed his eyes shut, trying to preserve the memory of what the room had looked like and to protect himself if either of the Soul-Seekers turned their gazes away from their minions.

The remainder of the Control dungeon was challenging, as usual for the rapidly-leveling dungeons, but until they reached the final room of its second floor they'd only lost Firelord and Flomper. We...

Chapter 157

Naturally, Levi’s first move was to max Pack Leader.

There was no other ability that called to him the same way, that was so clearly essential to his future plans of leading an army of mons...

Chapter 156

A few days later, Skarm and Two both reached their second thresholds within three fights of each other.

Levi held off until they reached the third treasure room, midway through the second flo...

Pierce the super-massive centipede may be fast, but he was not stealthy. He increased the overall speed of the procession to the point where Levi could actually move at a decent pace witho...

Chapter 154 (Laurence)

The Doom Raider contingent ended up being Laurence himself, Bradley, and Xander. Tom Arlin had volunteered, but was unanimously voted down. This was going to be a dangerous run and he was still a m...

“What are you supposed to wear to a magical monster dungeon?” The wide-eyed teen currently wore a Magical Girl Erudita cosplay, clutching a cheap Power Wand between her pink-gloved hands as she...

Chapter 152

The next dungeon in the loop was Lightning type, one of the rarer ones that Levi didn't have much experience with. There hadn't been many of them in the areas he'd been posted, and they were kind o...

"Your turn."

They'd just reached the next dungeon on their route - a basic Destruction one - and Levi smiled at Gordon's look of uncertainty.

"You said you wanted to face adversity, rig...

New temporary tier: Summer-Only

First, thank you for all the well-wishes and support. I understand that it's a bit difficult to justify paying full price for half the content, so I've added a temporary tier for the next three mon...

Laurence knocked on the door.

No response.

He wished he still had a working phone, but his had given up its last ghost days ago. The sacrifices one must make for magic.
