WO, Ch 82 - Eterna Wait

• AN: I'm back from vacation and in dire need of a vacation from my vacation. Awesome, but having 25km and 1000m of increased altitude as an "easy day" makes for exhausting days. ...

Chapter 575

If the outside of the Adventurers’ Guild was unimpressive, the inside was even more so. It took all the features of a drab and dull government building in the real world, dialled them up to eleve...

Chapter 572

If there was one thing I learned during our first few days at sea, it was that I needed to find a way to avoid further sea journeys. While I could have simply opted out, logging out for the few day...

Chapter 571

Chapter 570

Boarding the weird vessel was a process of organised chaos. We simply had to follow after the Naga who came to guide us, our small group moving through the hustle and bustle like a fish through the...

Chapter 569

When I woke up, forced from a sated slumber by Lenore incessantly cawing into my mind, I was greeted by an image of destruction. I was lying atop Sigmir, who was resting on the remains of the bed, ...

Chapter 568

The Mages’ Guild’s rules were a curious thing. It was quite obvious that with power came privilege, but there seemed to be more to it. While I sat on Sigmir’s lap, there were a couple of curi...

Chapter 567

Seeing the Mages’ Guild up close gave me a weird feeling. When looking at the building without the benefit of Lenore’s sight, it looked like a completely ordinary building, not any more special...

Chapter 566

After dealing with the real world for two days, being back in Mundus was an interesting sensation. The feeling of expansion, as my mind started to compute the information my Avatar’s senses could...

Interlude: Highlightreel VII

On a steep, snow-covered mountain slope, a group of people is slowly trudging upwards. The world around them is covered in ice, with only a few jagged rocks sticking out. In the distance, the mount...

Chapter 565

“Honey, I’m home,” Chris’ voice echoed through the house, accompanied by the jingling of keys. Jenn was sitting in the kitchen, watching me prepare dinner, salivating a little at the scents...

Anouncement

During the month of May, I plan to go on a two-week hike.

For most of you, that changes very little, as I plan to have enough chapters stockpiled to keep the usual schedule. Sadly, I can't ea...

Compared to meeting Mrs Wu at the shopping centre, visiting Jenn and Chris at their...

WO, Ch. 80 - Reunion

• AN: Happy Easter

When I walked back into the Pokécentre, I was a little lost in thought. Worry about Claire mingled with the mixed feelings that lingered after the conve...

WO, Ch. 79 of Freedom and Responsibility

“As I said, we have been discussing the Church of Freedom and the Pokéleague, their positions in society and stuff like that,” he explained, pausing for a moment, a frown on his face. “It st...

Chapter 563

“Good afternoon, Samantha,” Mrs Wu greeted me, a friendly smile on her face. It was fascinating, intellectually, I was aware that she was incredibly dangerous, both as a direct combatant but, m...

WO, Ch 78 - Eterna City II

After getting our rooms, separate for once, and having a greatly appreciated shower, we met back up to discuss our further plans.

“I want to check out the Gym and get the details for Badge-...

WO, Ch 77 - Eterna City

When the light faded away, I once again stood in awe at the changes Nuts had undergone. The massive, round seed pod had become a vaguely humanoid figure, still a wooden shade of brown, with a leaf ...

Chapter 562

With uncertainty regarding future opportunities, we decided to take the ship to Nobost. It would mean about a month of travel down the coast if we went by foot to get from Nobost to Phalladri. Hatt...

WO, Ch. 76 - And into the Mountains

As the terrain around us changed, so did the atmosphere. Between the massive trees of Eterna Forest, there had been a cold, almost depressingly gloomy, atmosphere, only fading once we reached the b...

Chapter 561

Even from afar, the Naga enclave stood out. Where the town around it was built in a style that reminded me of Ashenforge-Hold and other dwarven settlements I had seen, just slightly more rounded, l...

WO, Ch. 75 - Out of the Woods

The change upon leaving Eterna Forest was as distinct and obvious as it had been when entering. It was as if the air itself became a little less dense, no longer stagnant and hemmed in by the weigh...

Chapter 560

Closing my eyes for a moment, I focused on my bond with Sigmir, easily finding the tie that connected us, our very own red string. Gently tugging on it, I could follow along and after leaving the v...

WO, Ch 74 - Up the White River

Come morning, things didn’t make any more sense. Reading through the notes I had made during the night, I was only more confused, wondering just where some of those ideas came from. If they came ...

WO, Ch. 73 Recovery

After letting Claire rest for the morning, I made her get up after packing most of our things. While I would have loved to let her rest some more, I had no interest in sticking around an area where...

Chapter 559

Curiously, the group of halflings seemed to be almost happy that five of us were not interested in travelling with them. It might have been a simple issue of race, that they were uncomfortable with...
