Leaving the others up on the ridge, I ghosted down into the valley. My cloak was the perfect piece of equipment to sneak around in the dark, especially across rough terrain, and I was making great ...
2024-05-20 16:00:14 +0000 UTC View PostFilling the new bag, or any of our bags, turned out to be a lot harder than expected. While the Dungeon hadn’t displaced us all that far, just a few hundred kilometres, the location we had been d...
2024-05-18 16:00:15 +0000 UTC View PostSomehow, I had a feeling that my list of things I wanted to figure out would never get any smaller. Instead, it would always continue to grow, until the list was so expansive and vast, it started t...
2024-05-17 16:00:14 +0000 UTC View PostAfter resting up just a little, we started walking out of the boss’ room. During our rest, I had taken a closer look at the items we had found while in the dungeon and came across a few actually ...
2024-05-15 16:00:16 +0000 UTC View Post“There’s something ahead,” Luna whispered, while Silva let out an angry, menacing growl, her temper still going strong, despite the many hours of combat and the, quite literally, countless cr...
2024-05-13 16:00:12 +0000 UTC View PostIf there was one good thing about this dungeon’s weirdness, it was the ideas it gave me. Almost every swarm we faced was composed of a different foe, mostly different critters but if a type repea...
2024-05-11 16:00:08 +0000 UTC View PostThe dungeon turned out to be an oddity. The biggest thing was that the enemies we faced always came in these un-Observe-able linked groups, even if a group might only be composed of five m...
2024-05-10 16:00:22 +0000 UTC View PostMy eyes widened just a little when, as we entered the dungeon, an unexpected notification popped up. A part of me had wondered whether I’d get the Dungeon Explorer message for being part of the f...
2024-05-08 16:00:19 +0000 UTC View PostSilva started to sniff around the area before starting down one direction of the tunnel, with the rest of us following after her. At the same time, I made sure to taste the air around us, trying to...
2024-05-06 16:00:18 +0000 UTC View PostIt turned out, if there was one thing rabbits were really good at, it was escaping. Maybe it should have been obvious from the start but considering that we hadn’t been close enough to the stupid...
2024-05-04 16:00:16 +0000 UTC View Post“That’s not one of ours, is it?” I had to ask Luna, looking at the small, furry critter in the clearing ahead. Normally, the question wouldn’t have been necessary but given that said critte...
2024-05-03 16:00:12 +0000 UTC View PostAN: I forgot to add the latest Character-Sheet, current for Chapter 977 to the pinned post. It's added now, so you can check that out. Otherwise, enjoy the Interlude. 2024-05-01 16:00:20 +0000 UTC View Post
Soul Magic was… something. Even with the skill, it was as confusing and illogical as ever. Before, I had thought that I was unable to notice the Soul in some plants or even some smaller animals b...
2024-04-29 16:00:15 +0000 UTC View PostAs I was studying the rabbit Luna and I were experimenting on, I was whistling softly to myself. These last few days since leaving the Dryad commune had been fairly interesting, filled with travel,...
2024-04-27 16:00:11 +0000 UTC View PostFurther experimentation with my Throne and the Astral River sadly failed to produce additional insights, only repeats of that first experiment. I could find entities drawing Astral Power from the A...
2024-04-26 16:00:15 +0000 UTC View PostOnce I was comfortably sitting down on my new Throne, I let my mind drift into the Astral River, letting its ebb and flow pull and push me hither and yon. I wasn’t trying to go somewhere, I simpl...
2024-04-24 16:00:15 +0000 UTC View PostEven after leaving the grassy area around the World Tree Sapling behind, I couldn’t get the images my mind used to conceptualise what my magical senses were telling me out of my mind. Death, Rot,...
2024-04-22 16:00:13 +0000 UTC View PostIf there was one thing that drove home just how inexperienced Mima was, it was the way her face morphed and moved as I spoke about my various experiences with dryads on Mundus. Where before, when s...
2024-04-20 16:00:12 +0000 UTC View Post“Mother, when can we move on?” Lia asked me, once I stepped back into our gingerstone house after my talk with Mima. Her voice carried a fairly interesting mix of disgust and longing, strong en...
2024-04-19 16:00:16 +0000 UTC View PostEven after sleeping for most of the morning, I hadn’t made a decision about what I wanted to do about the World Tree and the claim that I was connected to it by Fate. The biggest question was, di...
2024-04-17 16:00:10 +0000 UTC View PostNo matter how often it happened, waking up within a tree would never cease to be weird. Or maybe it would, one day, but in the hundred-odd days since the world stopped making sense, it hadn’t sto...
2024-04-15 16:00:15 +0000 UTC View PostSneaking out at night shouldn’t be necessary and yet, moving through the darkness of the forest felt so much better than it had been while accompanying Luna during the day. The night was, quite f...
2024-04-13 16:00:12 +0000 UTC View PostAfter letting myself sink to the ground, I started to massage my temples, trying to get rid of the persistent headache I had been suffering from since talking to Mima, as the weird dryad was called...
2024-04-12 16:00:17 +0000 UTC View Post“Am I a Dragon, Mom?” Luna asked before I had time to properly process what the strange dryad had told me. That question, alongside Luna's amusingly excited tone when asking and her devastating...
2024-04-10 16:00:13 +0000 UTC View PostOnce the people outside became impossible to ignore, we decided to go and meet them. Well, my plan was to let Luna do most of the socialising while I remained behind and kept an eye on things but I...
2024-04-08 16:00:13 +0000 UTC View PostThese people were better grateful that we had given our word not to harm them while staying here. Without that promise, I might have started a murderous rampage when things got… loud first thing ...
2024-04-06 16:00:09 +0000 UTC View PostLuckily, the initial conversation between the dryad, the not-quite-elf and Luna didn’t take all that long. Essentially, they exchanged greetings and batted about a few simple questions neither si...
2024-04-05 16:00:14 +0000 UTC View PostSubtle wards were something truly great. Even without a great deal of power, they could create an incredibly potent effect, simply because they worked with the world around them, allowing them to l...
2024-04-03 16:00:14 +0000 UTC View PostAs I opened my eyes, I felt incredibly strange. There was something off but I just couldn’t tell what that ‘something’ was. Opening my eyes, I noticed the humid, loamy earth all around me, jo...
2024-04-01 16:00:21 +0000 UTC View PostFor all the negatives of exploring the strange forest of deadly plants, there was one major positive point. The plants that had changed to become the forest used to be crops, mostly corn a...
