The first thing that I notice when I regain consciousness is that I’m lying in the bed of my room at the base. And the next thing I notice is that I am wearing what looks to be some sort of nightgown that is practically form fitting, making me have a massive urge to take it off and change into something else right away. But before I do that, I sit up and look around, confusion evident on my face in my reflection on the mirror as I see myself all alone in the room sitting on my bed. Only for that thought…-

Cynthia wasn’t always so protective of her family. No. In fact, she used to be quite laxed and carefree. But then her daughter, Lexi, died. All because she got caught up in a Class IV Fracture and neither Cynthia nor Allen were able to make it in time to save her. Ever since then, Cynthia has sworn that she would never let anything like that happen ever again. Not to Allen. Not to Arabellia. And not to Scarlet. And yet, here she is, gazing upon the bloodied form of her third daughter, even if not by…

It only takes me getting sliced up three more times by the wraith to realize just how weak I am, and how futile it is to fight back at my current strength. Even if I’m not actually trying to kill it and only delay it right now. And right when I’m on the brink of collapsing from blood loss, the creature’s life energy not proving to be much due to our significant level difference, the thought of one of the skills I passed over a while back resurfaces. My eyes widen and I immediately jump back a…

After walking down the hall for a bit, ignoring the branch of the hall that has a massive hole in the floor, I eventually turn the corner and find myself staring at a large knight located far down the hall. And the first thing I do is turn back around and head back for the stairs. No thank you. Passing by the hole branch again, I continue making my way down the hall, vaguely taking note of some new sounds I hear coming from outside of the building. I grimace as I hear the sound of stuff freezing…

Without wasting any time, I rush into the entry hall, only barely avoiding having my leg chomped on again by another hound. They all quickly follow me through the doorway into a relatively decently sized room with no window, no connecting rooms except a few places marked on walls that look like would be a nice spot for a room or doorway, and some sort of kitchen area with a sink. The only relatively useful thing in the unfurnished room looks to be the chandelier hanging high from the ceiling. And even that…

“Shut up!!!” I shout while leaping over a bunch of tables and running straight past the bunker where I’m willing to bet people are watching my little escapade before going towards the door on the other side of counter. Then immediately after making it there, I grab the door knob with all my strength – crushing it ever so slightly in the process – before yanking it open and slamming it shut again. I don’t pause even after getting to the other side of it though, because the hounds simply slam…

Over the next couple of hours, I spend most of my time just staring at the ceiling as I take note of all of the sounds within the few dozen floors of the building on either side of the one I’m in. But I also make sure to spend 33 SP on leveling both Blood Boil and Blood Bank to level 5. Immediately after checking the changes to their descriptions though, I realize that the descriptions are pretty garbage for skills. Since there really isn’t much difference. The only difference in the skills’…

The tanuki closes his eyes and lays his head down on his paws as he continues, Huh. Interesting. Why are my ears recognizable though? So other higher up demons might be able to figure out what I am besides blood lycans? The tanuki sluggishly shakes his head without picking it up. Oh. That’s good then. On that note, what happened with the reality warp anyways? I never really thought about asking till now. This time, the tanuki opens his eyes and meets my own as he says, That’s not bad then.…

I can’t help but skip along the floor into the hallway while whistling very quietly, happy to have finally ditched that creepy Guardian lady, Alex. And not only did I manage to do that, but I also got back at her for stalking me! And gave the kid over to her as well. Maybe. Judging by the sounds of it, the other party started clearing out floors of demons from the thirty-fifth floor and on. But they did clear out two floors before that. Floors twenty nine and thirty two. Strictly because there were…

Julian wasn’t sure what he was expecting when he woke up this morning. For it to be a normal day? To go to class like a normal Wednesday and come home like normal maybe? Or even to have his sister nag at him like normal? But what actually happened was far beyond any of that. The Demonic Assault began, and he was immediately found trapped in his own room, unable to get past the demon knight standing guard near his door, blocking the hallway off. His sister was off doing business during the entire day,…
