Ally nods, ‘That seems likely enough. Does that mean ...
2023-02-18 12:15:27 +0000 UTC View PostYou would think that the council would understand how important the traders were. After all, pre-system money made the world go round. Instead, they treated them like pack mules or independent truc...
2023-02-17 13:21:51 +0000 UTC View PostRosha walks over, "So, what's the stats on that thing? It isn't an accessory or anything, but stand alone magic items like that tend to be quite rare as drops."
Jason shared the description a...
2023-02-15 22:32:06 +0000 UTC View PostThe sixth floor was strange. All previous floors had a mix of tardigroids, but mostly featured the more feral forms. That was no longer the case.
While most groups of monsters would still hav...

2023-02-10 11:48:23 +0000 UTC View PostJason considers what the others had just revealed before nodding. "I'll have to focus on breaking away from the System's direct control then. Well, I will after we finish this. I doubt we'll have m...
2023-02-09 00:29:36 +0000 UTC View PostThe giant tardigroid at first feels pain as Jason's never ending threads dig deeper into its body, and then nothing. Well, more than just nothing. It loses feeling in the front left shoulder and ar...
2023-02-09 00:28:41 +0000 UTC View PostBelow are the full prompts as the poll doesn't allow the full text. In the case of ties the first option that got there wins. The short story will be finished by the end of the month and will be av...
2023-02-04 04:37:11 +0000 UTC View PostThe shark-toothed lady stepped into the dungeon and made her way to the second floor so no one would realize she was there. A smart plan as soon enough people were back to delving. Sure, the first ...
2023-02-03 21:30:10 +0000 UTC View PostAce sighed as the lady left, though Jim didn’t let him relax long.
Jim, “So uh, I don’t think we’re getting rid of this platform any time soon.”
Ace frowned, noticing that the...
2023-02-03 11:00:05 +0000 UTC View PostAn arrow streaks across the cavern before bursting into more shards of burning metal than the arrow head could possibly create, peppering the icy tardigroids. As an opening salvo, this does a decen...
2023-02-01 14:16:08 +0000 UTC View PostJason sighs, “Not worth looking into them. Though it does make me wish I had been more knowledgeable about the subject. I’m sure at least a few of the bits of loot I’ve gotten would have work...
2023-02-01 14:15:45 +0000 UTC View PostOnce again I'm here to ask all of you for short story prompts! I'll take the more popular ones as decided by the number of hearts (or that I particularly like) in the comments and make a poll at th...
2023-01-31 03:48:44 +0000 UTC View PostMagic is a funny thing. Take invisibility as an example. To the rest of the world, it is as if light is traveling through the invisible person and yet, despite everything we know about how light wo...
2023-01-31 03:44:00 +0000 UTC View PostAce and Jim are sitting in a private room, deep within the dungeon sphere complex. On a table in front of them, are a bunch of system screens laid out like so many pieces of paper. Nine of them are...
2023-01-27 21:15:42 +0000 UTC View PostRosha rolls her eyes, "Anyway, my gear took a bit more work. You'll notice it isn't quite as color consistent. That sort of wasn't avoidable.
"You generally don't see hair like mine in the wi...
2023-01-25 20:41:43 +0000 UTC View PostJason laughs and points his be-furred fist away from the others before sending out a couple rapid body blasts through it causing all the fur to fly out, embedding into the wall before it vanishes. ...
2023-01-25 20:41:08 +0000 UTC View PostDoyle sighs, ‘Well, you aren’t wrong. I did consider adding a couple of void kobolds to the fifth floor. Though even if I don’t end up doing that, I’m certainly going to have a couple go th...
2023-01-20 20:07:42 +0000 UTC View PostDoyle suddenly thinks of something. ‘So, that river over there? We call the next settlement over “the settlement upriver” because, well, it’s upriver from here. While I can’t be certain, ...
2023-01-20 11:00:04 +0000 UTC View PostWith about ten minutes to spare, Jason is in the dining room, eating the early bird breakfast. Though seeing as this was an inn relatively close to the dungeon, he is far from the only one there. I...
2023-01-18 11:01:02 +0000 UTC View PostAfter bandaging up Jason’s arms, the party retreats out of the dungeon. Not just that, but they decide to let the dungeon reset. Of course, they would have preferred just resetting the fourth flo...
2023-01-18 11:00:05 +0000 UTC View PostDoyle, ‘So since I can’t really do much about getting my queen up to speed, is there a way to kick-start the kobolds? With how you described the racial languages, as long as I get them up to sp...
2023-01-14 18:52:49 +0000 UTC View PostCourtney rolls her eyes, “Jason, the drop isn’t going to go anywhere. It doesn’t matter how well you handle pain, let me fix up your arms before looking into that. In fact, Rosha, you go take...
2023-01-11 16:06:31 +0000 UTC View PostJason shrugs, “While an attack that covers miles can be useful, that is for smashing the weak. Oh sure, it can be useful against stealth or speed, but after a certain point AoE attacks are incons...
2023-01-11 16:06:02 +0000 UTC View PostOf course, after the party breaks up when they get back to town, Henry is off to see the butcher. And honestly, he isn’t wrong in his opinion. The butcher can help him. In fact, with the limitati...
2023-01-06 11:33:12 +0000 UTC View PostDoyle stood back from himself and considered the floors. In theory, which floor he chooses doesn’t matter as eventually the ageless ant queen will become a wandering boss. However, the system see...
2023-01-06 11:00:03 +0000 UTC View PostRosha pouts a little, but she does end up admitting their situation is a bit different from Peter. So, after a little more faffing about, the group turns around and leaves the dungeon. Though witho...
2023-01-04 22:57:50 +0000 UTC View PostCourtney sighs, “While interesting, how does the fact that you believe dungeons are basically the System’s attempt to convert all the Energy into Qi and Mana affect us?”
Jason shrugs, ...
