Chapter 32. The Unclaimed Throne

“Your attacks are telegraphed,” Liam complained.

“No, they are not. You just have perpetual precognition.”

“That might be true, but still… You fight like a graceless bull, c...

Chapter 31. An All Encompassing Ability

“There are a few rules to this little training session of ours,” Liam said, leveling Rafe such a serious look he knew there’d be no time for banter.

“Training session? I was under the...

Chapter 30. Skills And Cracks

“Too late? What do you mean too late?”

“Well, take flesh wounds for example. If they are not treated early enough, things go wrong. If they are not disinfected they may become septic. I...

Chapter 29. The Lost Weapon

When Ah-Riam Akh’Braiden was but a child, he became the first member of his family in generations to fail to bind a legacy weapon to his soul. He did not know why then. They did not why. They fro...

Chapter 28. The First Skill

He slammed back into his own body. It was akin to waking from a nightmare of falling off a cliff. Rafe yelped and threw his arms out to…what? Stop the fall, catch himself. As his breathing calmed...

Chapter 27. About Classes and Skills

“Am I going to die?” Rafe couldn't help but ask.

“What? Of course not. You're just a mental construct after all. We can probably bring you back to life.”

“I am going ba...

Chapter 26. Rafael Kingsley Wilde

They found him there, bleeding and broken, a step away from death. Jonathan did not bar the girls from him. He would have in any other situation.

“I must look like shit, huh,” Rafe said w...

Chapter 25. A Dance In The Shadows

“Why are you grinning, idiot? Don't you know you are doomed?”

“I'm not grinning, you are,” Rafe fired back, rather maturely, he thought.

The queen tilted her head, her shadow th...

Chapter 24. The End Approaches For All

“Mr Wilde,” an official-looking man at the front started, “you are expected in the arena. If you would be so kind as to unarm yourself—”

Rafe concluded the man ...

Chapter 23. The Shadows Have Eyes

Rafe had not seen Celene in a long time, at least on his end. It turned out something weird had happened, but he stopped questioning it the moment he had confirmation.

“How long's it been s...

Chapter 22. A Tale of Two Roads

Rafe sat at a table with Su’Arian, watching the adventurers rouse their fellows and inform them of his instructions. He wouldn't leave these ruffians in Su’Arian’s tavern. He would at least m...

Chapter 21. Trial Conclusion Eminent

Rafe thought the guys he was fighting were dangerous if a little bit underwhelming compared to the experts he'd fought over his journey. Still, there were thousands of ways to win a fight and a mil...

Chapter 20. An Inciting Event

Noid became more transparent with each passing moment. Still, he happily sacrificed his ability to test anyone for the next million years or so. What he had not expected was fo...

Chapter 19. A Warrior's Retreat (2)

Thea's face started to morph into a slimy melting green thing. She had been packing her things when he saw her this time, looking to his room to ensure he was still asleep.

He imagined this w...

Chapter 18. A Warrior's Retreat (1)

“How long did you last this time?” Noid asked Rafe.

“No more than five seconds,” he said, still pumping the bellows to stock the fires of the forge.

“You'...

Chapter 17. A Few Truths

It had all been real. This time when Rafe slept, he dreamt about it all. Not just his last few hours on earth, but his whole life, his family, his friends, and his old basketball team.

In his...

Chapter 16. Everything Was Real

Guy pushed his exhausted legs, feeling the energy drain from his body. He didn't care, he was fast, and he was going to kill Noid Ellan. Their swords clashed again, and again N...

Chapter 15. Murder In The City

Cynthia cursed again as she tried to keep up with the man ahead of them. Jasmine and Rhea had followed them too. The guild master burst through the door to a high-class-looking inn, almost more tha...

Chapter 14. A Step Towards The Shadows

On a hill not even fifty kilometers away from Hossford city, Guy Wilde saw his closest friend, his brother, his rival, die to insurmountable odds. He went down swinging. There was a whole party of ...

Chapter 12. A Party's Dynamic

The goblins did not want to give up. They got easier to pick off the further they got from their increasingly ashen nest though.

It was a running battle for some time, Gu...

Chapter 13. It Has To End Somehow

An older, bitterer version of Noid stood and watched the world he'd created.

“So it's almost over, heh?” the thief asked from beside him.

“It has to end somehow. It's kind of hard...

Chapter 11. A Monster Society

Guy hid amongst the highest trees and watched the most horrifying village he ever saw. They almost looked peaceful. Civilized, even. They had houses, the monsters.

He killed five hobgoblins, ...

Chapter 10. A Beckoning Hunt

Everyone openly glared at Guy the next few hours of travel, even their formerly neutral supervisor. When they took a lunch break, his cohorts approached him for a talk.

“You do realise we'r...

Chapter 9. A New Adventure

Guy hadn't had the easiest week thus far, and this whole situation wasn't helping. At least meeting the guild master - a master-level spear wielder - was a decent few hours.

The guild master ...

Chapter 8. Destined For Greatness

Guy was courting Celene. In a village this small, everyone knew everything about everyone.

Guy - as he'd recently been named - couldn't court any of the other girls. It would be bad form for ...

Chapter 7. Settling Down (For a While)

Rafe sat and watched a pink-haired girl on the big screen. His father was probably somewhere backstage. He hadn't seen them in months, and now he was finding out what they'd been up to. He slumped ...

Chapter 6. Immortality of A Sort

His fourth or so troop was much more experienced than all his others, and he stayed with them a lot longer. They were together longer than the two-month threshold all his former platoons couldn't q...

Chapter 5. A Soldier With No Name

He'd lost consciousness from all the pain. What pain though? He couldn't remember. And why was it so loud, so stuffy, so constricting?

He opened his eyes, but the light was too bright. And so...

Chapter 4. Millennia-old Virgins

As he watched these visions play out, he bled out, his brain eroded. His life force flickered.

He also healed, but death came faster than health. He had forgotten what he was supposed to be d...

Chapter 3. A Legacy of Gods(2)

The fourth Skyholm did not have magic. At least not in the traditional sense. To Rafe, he seemed positively divine. He was a warrior. A pure warrior and nothing more.

A warrior who cou...
