The Antechamber was a curious construction, impossible to reach in any way other than stepping through a portal after defeating the guardian of a floor. There was no atunement to it and no way to r...

The next time the wolf exhaled poison black mist across the arena, Heldigar burst into golden light and immediately neutralized it. Soon after that, Sorin dispersed the first voidling, and it becam...

At the same time Sorin was turning to face the voidling, the statue came to life. He’d been expecting a flesh-and-blood monster to erupt out of it, but instead, the granite just started moving. C...

The stairs set off warning bells in Sorin’s head. Floor 1 was very much themed with what were known as natural environments. Forests, grasslands, mountains, and other biomes tended to dominate th...

First thing in the morning, Odric burned through all the anima he’d regained overnight to work on Nemari’s injuries. Torso wounds were generally the most dangerous and life-threatening, if only...

Rue was reasonably certain Sorin was actually asleep, but he was such a light sleeper that it was almost impossible to tell. With anyone else, she could measure by their aura fluctuations, which wa...

“So, don’t leave me in suspense,” Rue prodded. “What’s the last one?”
“I… don’t know,” Sorin said slowly.

It didn’t take much work to enlarge the hole enough for them to step through. Sorin led the way in, though he didn’t expect any trouble. The ruin guardian was already dead and, apparently, it w...

“And here they come, like vultures circling the prize,” Yoru muttered to himself, though not quiet enough to avoid being overheard. That was the point, of course. His snide remarks were startin...

The blade cut deep, but not through. Somehow, the monster’s neck was nothing but a bundle of thick, ropey muscles. Even with his enhanced strength, Sorin couldn’t decapitate the tortoise in one...

Whatever the hell was in that square, it had an enormous amount of anima. Rue had spoken with climbers as high as rank 10, and even they didn’t have the raw strength of that monster. Her, Sorin, ...

“What are you doing here?” Sorin asked, ignoring Rue’s question in the vain hope that she’d take the hint and drop the subject.

Teeth snapped closed a hair’s breadth from Sorin’s nose as he jerked backward, only to disappear a moment later when a shard of ice formed between him and the monster. It slammed into the beast...
