With my assent Ellison turned walked over to a small group of deer people—including the big one, and began speaking in his native tongue.
Oddly enough, his translator ability toggled off. S...

Ellison stood amidst his fellow Guildians, their cheers echoing across the battlefield as the last raider fell—his skull caved in by Durkil’s huge wooden club.
It was over. The stench of ...

Durkil knew the odds. He knew death was likely. And yet, his feet didn’t hesitate. He stepped forward. The sensation was strange. Like stepping through warm water—and then he was somewhere else...

Durkil left the monument behind. The memory of his mother leaving him in a somber mood.
A faint glow ahead draws his attention. Light flickered through the window of a run-down shack ca...

Durkil walked alone through the crumbling streets of Ulm.
Once, it had been a capital—a city of power, its warriors unmatched, its craftsmen revered. Now? Now, it was little more than a dyi...

The possibilities start stacking up in my mind. Damon’s perspective makes a lot of sense, and I can see how big of a step the new interface will be in leveling up our territory.
But thereâ€...

After chatting with Nick and Alex a bit more I figure I should probably find Jared and share the new changes to the territory. Of the whole group, only Nick and Alex had been given new spirit weapo...

The day of the final wave arrives.
Jared’s group is more prepared this time. The last battle–if you could call it that–did wonders for their confidence. Before the last raid the mood wa...

Later that night, I stretch out on one of the wooden benches near my new fire in front of the cabin Jared built. I soak in the warmth letting it sink into my skin. The air is crisp, carrying the sc...

The next hour was spent testing my barrier spell in every way we could think of—attacks with skills, attacks without skills. Casting while holding Tranquility, then without it, then with Tranquil...

Later, Mischief and I sort through the loot from the raid. Since the trial not a single monster has dropped a shard of any kind. Instead, we collected their crude weapons, armor, and a surprising n...

Back at camp, the waiting begins. There’s nothing to do but kill time until the raid. I plan to do more scouting to see if I can find any monsters lurking around.
I wasn’t convinced every...

For the next three days, I keep my mind occupied.
Richard’s death lingers at the edges of my thoughts, no matter how much I try to shove it away. Each morning, it’s there. Each night, it ...

Blood sprayed across the dirt. The fight was basically over.
From the tower, Richard exhaled. Not relief. Not exactly. The rush of battle still pounded in his veins. His fingers trembled, his...

Finding the next dungeon was no picnic.
I had spent days searching. No signs, no clues. Just trees, dirt, and a growing sense that I was wasting my time.
Then, just as I was about to gi...

Mischief lay curled beneath tangled roots, ribs pressing sharp against his skin. Hunger gnawed at his insides—a dull, familiar ache. His mother was gone. Food was scarce. His limbs, weaker by the...

When I got back, Mischief was wide awake, calmly licking his paws like nothing had changed. The fire was gone—just smoldering embers fading in the predawn air.
He didn’t even glance up as...
