Wild Dragon of Rome 48

Waking up shouldn’t be a surprise, but considering my last memory was dealing with the mysterious beast vitae that was going out of control, it certainly was.

Another pleasant surprise, I ...

Immortal Freeloader 122

My guide didn’t say a lot even as he led me inside the formation, allowing me to get a better view of the valley I had been led into. I noticed a secondary formation inside, which was clearly str...

Immortal Freeloader 121

Once I built the formation to protect myself, I stepped onto the boat, acting like I was in shock. “Sit down, and don’t say anything,” the cultivator ordered, clearly frustrated at what he sa...

The Photographer 62

“She’s an enthusiastic one, isn’t she,” I said as Carol sat next to me while listening Amy’s deep moans, not mentioning just how Carol’s presence intensified her reaction more.

Blacksmith vs. the System 6

Decision made, I ignored the shouts outside as I focused on examining the forge. A forge that was far more expensive than I had ever worked with.

The first thing that caught my attention was...

Blacksmith vs. the System 5

We arrived at the camp at dawn. As much as I hated the necessity to keep my eyes open more than necessary, I forced myself, trying to catch the important details. It was smaller than I expected. A ...

Blacksmith vs. the System 4

Once my deal with Rosie was done, I didn’t even wait for her confirmation before visiting the workshop to resign and empty my apartment.

Immortal Freeloader 120

As I passed in front of the recruiter, a hint of Qi invaded my body. However, considering I could hide my abilities from actual cultivators, a martial artist recruiter who was merely using an artif...

Immortal Freeloader 119

Of course, while I had decided to delve deeper into the issue of Martial Arts, I wasn’t actually planning anyone to practice Everdawn Saber. Not when it was clearly linked to the others. Instead,...

Immortal Freeloader 118

Sometimes, I hated being right.

Thanks to the flying boat, visiting all forty-two capitals didn’t take long. Only thirty-six of them actually had stone gates underneath, at least what I wa...

Wild Dragon of Rome 46B

I didn’t say much even as Astrid kissed me, expecting her to act hesitant once the initial shock had passed. She had given me the impression of a shy virgin.

But, I soon realized that I mi...

Wild Dragon of Rome 46

While watching Astrid retreat was disappointing, it didn’t distract me for long. Lillian arrived soon after.

“What happened? She looks even more distracted,” Lillian said. I gave her a...

Blacksmith vs. the System 3

I disliked Broken Tankard.

It was a loud and crowded pub, filled with people who were far too happy to start throwing punches at the slightest disagreement. It was something I hated even bef...

Blacksmith vs. the System 2

I liked having a nice glass of white wine while making monumental decisions, preferably a French Riesling of a decent vintage.

Unfortunately, it was not a luxury I was able to afford any mor...

Blacksmith vs. the System 1

”Hey, Devon, I have your letter as well,” the postman said even as he walked through the workshop floor, passing around parcels and collecting coins as payment. “You have the payment, right?�...

Immortal Freeloader 117

I didn’t linger in the capital for long. I stayed just enough to make sure Kartpa Valley disciples wouldn’t start a massacre in their frustration before walking away.

“That was … unex...

The moment the dagger touched the ground, Aisnam stopped hiding her cultivation. Her gates flared with Qi, and she rushed forward with the full might of a ninth-stage Qi Gathering cultivator. It wa...

Immortal Freeloader 115

I wasn’t the only one moving toward the walls. Most of the citizens were gathered at the walls and rooftops, anxiously waiting for the fight that was about to happen. Not too far from the main ga...

Wild Dragon of Rome 44

“Come on, blondie, you can do it. Just three more rounds,” Astrid shouted even as she pointed at the target, and Lillian swung her sling … missing again. “You make a terrible hunter. How ca...

Wild Dragon of Rome 43

After an intensive crash course on the magic of Germanic tribes that took most of the afternoon, Astrid walked away to cook dinner, leaving me alone to ponder about the lesson.

I had made gr...

Wild Dragon of Rome 42

Astrid froze under my touch at the mention of the Tree of Life, her reaction implying that it was a big secret. “Sorry, I missed the last part. What were you saying?” I said.

It wasn’t...

Hi everyone. I have made some progress on the sequel plans for the Gamer Adventure, but I want your opinion about the setting of the follow-up universes.

I will probably start publishing the ...

A Gamer Adventure - Epilogue Final

“You’re late,” a trembling, ethereal voice greeted me the moment I stepped into the grand room that had been functioning as a prison and the core of the System for a long time, surrounded by ...

Immortal Freeloader 114

I was glad that I focused on the formation, as merely a day later, a solo figure approached the capital, flying leisurely on a sword. The formation master.

I let out a relaxed sigh when I no...
