Thankfully, Will didn’t pass out this time. Maybe the repeated beatings had gotten to him, but even though his entire status diagram was flashing various shades of yellow and orange, he didn’t ...

In Will’s admittedly limited experience, a level increase was a more effective form of healing than any of his potions could dream of being. He gasped as the pain in his leg sharpened for a brief...
