Chapter 161

Luke was so exhausted that he didn’t think he could fight back even to save his own life. The necromancer might have been content to ignore him since he wasn’t a threat before the crossbow inci...

Chapter 160

There was no time to think, not with the bolt all the way in the air. If she had, Zea never would have tried to stop it with her whip. The bolt was so small, and moving so fast. It would be impossi...

Chapter 159

The man who stepped out of the wagon wore a midnight blue robe trimmed in silver. He had long, dark hair pulled back from his face and tied into a braid that was thrown over one shoulder, and pale,...

Chapter 158

“Fuck that,” Zea said. “You’re going to get yourself killed if you don’t retreat.”

“I’ll be alright,” Luke said.

Zea glanced pointedly at his hip, where blood was stai...

Chapter 157

The chain’s magic held through the volley of bolts and Luke charged up the length of the caravan at top speed. Guards fell one after another, but they Luke paid for the momentum. He couldn’t do...

Chapter 156

There were countless skills in the system, including those that helped with crossbow use. The one that concerned Luke was called [Rapid Reload], which helped the user pull new bolt...

Chapter 155

Ruca watched, his hands clenched tightly around the hilts of his swords, as the slave caravan approached. The mounted guards at the front caught sight of the tree and called a halt well back from i...

Chapter 154

The caravan consisted of twelve wagons. The one in the lead was completely enclosed, more like a huge, overgrown carriage than a wagon, with two men sitting on the bench on the front. The next two ...

Bonus Chapter

From the author note on today's update:

Bonus Chapter!

Why a bonus chapter when I just reduced my posting schedule to catch up my backlog? Well, because I just hit my milesto...

Chapter 153

Two people stepped out of the bushes. Both had the silver-white hair Luke was seeing everywhere now, and both were well-armed. Luke counted four swords between the two of them plus a pair of belt k...

Chapter 152

“First, I want to revisit my initial assumption. Can my family be brought back from the dead?” Luke asked.

“They can,” System confirmed.

“And I could do that right now, if I w...

Chapter 151

“Ooooooh shit,” Luke said.

Nobody in the crowd was panicking or screaming, so obviously they’d been expecting something like this. Blood spurted into the air, and a chorus of voices ros...

Chapter 150

The first thing they did upon disembarking the Silk Lady was to take a few minutes to just wander around and get a feel for the most prominent language. Neither of them had any first-hand ...

Chapter 149

The last two months of Luke’s life had been beyond boring. There was really only so much of staring at empty, open water he could take, and he’d hit that limit weeks ago. Other than a brief bre...

Zixin appeared in the nothingness that surrounded her brother’s domain. She could have ...

Chapter 147

The chain was set to protect the ship as fully as possible rather than do the bare minimum, which meant it wasn’t going to last more than a few minutes at the rate Luke was hammering on it. Zea w...

Chapter 146

Zea wasn’t paying much attention to what was going on around her. The sailors were doing their jobs, Luke had fucked off to somewhere else and left her to her work, and she was entirely focused o...

Chapter 145

The simplest place to put AP was into stats. He had more than enough to drop 30 into every stat and just completely overpower Lath in terms of raw capabilities. Of course, that didn’t guarantee a...

Chapter 144

Luke spent the next hour or so using [Analyze] on every sailor on the ship. None of them were over level 20, and in fact only one of them was a higher level than the Captain hersel...

Chapter 143

While the ship was much smaller than the Averast, once Luke was actually on it, it seemed plenty big. Still, to go out into open water, to cross the entire ocean in it… It felt like the ...

Chapter 142

It was far too easy for the people of Aros to see in the dark, even on a moonless night, which this wasn’t. Thus, the goal wasn’t to avoid being seen by hiding in the darkness. It was merely th...

August Schedule Update

Hello,

It's been a busy summer for me, and August is shaping up to be the most crowded month yet. As such, I will be changing to a M-W-F update schedule next month. I hope to resume my normal...

Chapter 141

“Everything alright there?” Zea asked as Luke barged back into their camp.

He looked a little wild in the eyes, but whatever he saw must have reassured him since he quickly calmed down. �...

Chapter 132

There was no way to keep Zea from gaining XP along with Luke, not as long as they were using [Ghost Script] to make the bombs. If she made them the old-fashioned way, there was eno...

Chapter 131

“125 AP,” Luke said. “Just slightly more than what I have available, because of course it is.”

Despite that, he wasn’t upset. Just knowing that there was an option for [XP C...
