B6—Chapter 32: Dungeon Illogic, Round Two

It took us an ungodly long time to cross the mountain range with the floating ball of lightning. We could have flown over it quickly, but alas, it was full of ore. So, our travel turned into...

B6—Chapter 31: Lord of Lightning, Part III

Author's Note:
We have liftoff—or actually, internet—and it's great.

The reason for the shortages was that they replaced the entire internet infrastructure in o...

Update

Hi everybody,

We've been having internet problems since this morning, and apparently, it's going to last all day. I can still access my files and write using my phone's hotspot, but for some ...

B6—Chapter 30: Therapy by Extermination

When we finished collecting all the crystals, the entry cave was pitch black, except for my light ball, and I personally collected over fifty mana crystals. It was actually a good haul. Thei...

B6—Chapter 29: Lord of Lightning, Part I

By the time we finished all the forms, the sun had dipped below the artificial skyline, casting long shadows across the tiles of the lobby floor. Outside, I looked at it in wonder. I could s...

B6—Chapter 28: Almost Feels Like Home. Unfortunately 

I jolted awake, eyes blinking against the soft morning light as I lay there, trying to figure out what had yanked me out of sleep. “If you b

By the time I woke up, Mahya and Al were gone, so I took Rue out for breakfast and wandered through the mall. Each time I came here, I appre

Two Options, One Burned-Out Brain – Vote Time!

Hi everyone,
I started posting chapters in April of last year. For the first six months, I managed six chapters a week. After that, I dropped to five. Over the past year, I’ve written five and...

B6—Chapter 26: The Hardship of Engineering a Pond-Side Paradise

I found Mahya and Rue in the home appliance section, crouched in front of something that looked like it came straight out of a sci-fi movie.

B6—Chapter 25: How Not to Ask a Girl Out

I liked the lake in the middle of this habitat and wondered if I could create something similar. Having an open space with three private hou

B6—Chapter 23: The Swords are Dead. Long Live the Swords

On the way to the blacksmith, I groaned and facepalmed. Ugh. I forgot to ask her name. Again. Of course, the entrance dropped me off in the

B6—Chapter 22: Rue the Shepherd, Mahya the Schemer

Back at the hotel, Al and Mahya were gone. I made myself comfortable on the couch with one sword and got to work figuring out its aspect. The metal was completely unfamiliar. It didn't resem...

B6—Chapter 20: New World, New Experiences

When I came down for my guard shift, Mahya sat curled up on the couch, a thick book balanced on her knee and a blanket draped over her shoulders.

“Anything interesting happen?” I asked. 2025-04-10 15:11:09 +0000 UTC View Post

B6—Chapter 19: Magitech. Yay!

The next dungeon was a major letdown after the glorious mana gym. The portal spat us out into a wide ravine between two towering cliff faces. It twisted to the right, so visibility was twenty meter...

B6—Chapter 18: Magical Cardio and Mental Strength Training

“We are not removing this core,” Al said, shooting a pointed look at Mahya.

“Of course not,” Mahya replied without missing a beat, tossing her hair back with a confident flick. “If ...

B6—Chapter 17: Brain Day at the Dungeon Gym 

On the way to the Gate, the wind led us to a few dungeons. I’d been feeling restless lately, like my bones were vibrating with excess energy, so I joined the gang for the runs.

The portal o...

B6—Chapter 16: Ten Thousand Gold Coin and One Cool Gizmo

Mahya and Malith were holed up in her workshop for two days, resurfacing only for meals. Even then, they just took plates and disappeared again. Al worked on the potions order, and Rue fought snake...

B6—Chapter 15: A Totally Innocent Moonwalk

When I came down in the morning, Malith sat beside Rue, gesturing with both hands while Rue huffed and shook his head as if he were refusing broccoli. His ears twitched with irritation, and he occa...

B6—Chapter 14: [Upgraded]

I took a day off to let my channels rest after the overload of the last two weeks. The following day, I couldn’t ignore the spell in my palm anymore. Every time I looked at it, it bothered me. It...

B6—Chapter 13: My Library’s Having a Growth Spurt

We spent most of the day chatting with Malith. He was a fascinating guy who’d been traveling for over a hundred and fifty years and was a lot less cagey than Lis when it came to sharing stories. ...

B6—Chapter 12: Catalysts and Consequences

As we neared the house, Rue bounded toward us with ears perked and tail swishing. He weaved between us, sniffing us thoroughly from the soles of our boots to the tops of our heads, then gave a curt...

B6—Chapter 11: Third Traveler Saved—Yep, It’s a Pattern Now

“So, do you know why they grabbed you?” I asked Mahya telepathically once I stopped calling her various damsels in distress.

“No clue. I arrived at the information broker a...
