B6—Chapter 57: Loot Distribution

I sat on the back deck and read a book about earth magic. Yes, unfortunately, a wizard wrote it, which meant it was stuffed to the brim with metaphors, similes, analogies, symbolism, hyperbole, all...

B6—Chapter 56: Wake-Up Call, Monster Edition

Half a day past the fashion-mad city, the flying ships appeared in the sky again in greater numbers. From the direction they came, it looked like they had flown around the scary forest and, along t...

B6—Chapter 55: And They Call ME Clueless

After we left the town with the refugees, we lowered the sails completely and pushed the motor as hard as the river traffic allowed, skimming across the water. We didn’t discuss it or even...

B6—Chapter 54: The Slow March of Madness

The next seven days of sailing after clearing the fever-dream frozen portal passed without any special incidents. I piloted the boat at night, slept for a few hours, and worked on the lootin...

B6—Chapter 53: A Short Side Quest

After three days of moping around, I went back to doing stuff. When I first saw the description of Creativity at level 50, my looting spells immediately came to mind. I opened the descriptio...

B6—Chapter 52: Loved It While It Lasted

We walked from the slums north, heading toward the stairs that led down to the water. The city looked better now. The air had cleared of ash, and there was no more debris cluttering the stre...

After grabbing a few hours of sleep, I made my way back to the central square. A few injured folks were already waiting near my treatment spot. A few more arrived during the day, but it didn...

Mahya went to the guild to handle whatever it was that needed her attention, while Al vanished into his lab to brew more health potions. He'd been muttering about running out since yesterday. Rue w...

B6—Chapter 48:  Aftermath of Fire and Blood

While I sat in the park, breathing in mana as fast as possible, a feeling of worry, or maybe concern, reached me through the connection in my mind. It didn’t have to say anything, or more ...

B6—Chapter 47: Falling Sky

When we walked out of the guild, my stomach flipped a couple of times, my heart skipped a beat, my mouth went dry, and I shuddered. A wave of cold passed over my skin, despite the warmth in ...

B6—Chapter 45: The Competitive Spirit

The obstacle course looked completely different the following day. Some obstacles were the same, like the stupid flying magical stones, but the rest were different. Bummer. I hoped ...

 B6—Chapter 43: Luck Saw a Library and Left the Building

The reply I got from the core kept bugging me. On one hand, Mahya and Al insisted the core wasn’t sentient, and even Lis mentioned it once. On the other hand, something about the way it re...

B6—Chapter 40: Third Time’s Kinda the Charm

When we got back to the inn, a note from Al was waiting for us.

“I have relocated to the Alchemists’ Hub and secured rooms at the Dreamy Bloom Inn.”

Al and Mahya disappeared somewhere in the morning, so I went to explore further.

The first interesting place I found was another dungeon dimension filled with fields. I stepped through...

Arcane Reverie

At a crossroad of life, I tore the veil,
Magic whispered from my lips, fragile and frail.
A new road unfolds through the twilight pale,
Guiding my steps on starlight’s trail.
