Priam looked down at his prisoner for a second. He couldn't speak because of his missing jaw. Sphinx sensed his annoyance. " "Who do you work for?" she asked in an adorable voice as she continued to inspect the weapons on the table. The man looked up at her, surprise evident on his face. After a few seconds, he finally answered. "For the Alliance." " The brute spat on the floor. "I don't give a shit about that guy. I'm working for the future leader of the Alliance, E..." "I'll stop you right there,"…

The craftsman's words stopped Priam in his tracks. Priam became serious again. He was ready to make peace with the Revenants if they could resurrect certain members of his family. Perhaps he'd even shake Claire's hand. Shake her hand very hard. Soon, all the implications of the news became clear. Priam massaged his temples as he insulted them. Resurrecting humans wasn't impossible - he was living proof of that - but it couldn't be easy. However, whether this was true or false was of no consequence.…

Four kilometers from the portal, standing on a rooftop, Mercury put away his spyglass. Priam had left the Dome. Mercury hoped the Baron would put a spoke in Anatole's wheel. According to his sources, the Cult of the Revenants was prepared for Priam's arrival, but were they really ready? Trained by the Colosseum Supervisor and accompanied by the Lord of the Dome, the Baron was no simple man. "I don't think anyone was ready for you Priam..." he said. The merchant turned and stared at his guest.…

When the bubble had closed over him again, Priam had concentrated. All his strength, emotions, and will had been condensed and refined into a blade of will. Unfortunately, a minute later, his thoughts were wandering again. As is often the case, a man's will was weak in the face of his nature. Priam had very much hoped to receive a letter from Hogwarts when he entered the However, Priam then mentally brushed the idea aside. He was in this bubble to concentrate on his sensations and find a way to reach…

Sphinx had not used her skill and Priam could concentrate on the riddle without risking his life. The answer was breathing. In the first few seconds, Priam realized that the bubble let in light but not air. The gas inside had been replaced, preventing Priam from taking another breath. He would have to make do with the oxygen already in his system. The average human takes twelve breaths a minute. Apnea means cutting off the oxygen supply and gradually building up carbon dioxide in the body. Its…

"Evolution, then. I assume it's the move to Tier 1?" "That's right. This is one of the few times the System isn't holding your hand - this choice is crucial. In advanced civilizations, some masters can look at your path and advise you. There are many possibilities, as each individual is unique. Fusion with cores, resources or monsters, cultivation methods, change of species or race, symbiosis, etc. You'll have to find your own way," Mercury replied with a shrug. The two men strolled through a…

Although not grandiose, the building architect had great taste. It looked like it had been carved from a giant block of pink salt, and a few golden scriptures adorned the façade. Concepts hadn't built the building - it wasn't perfect enough. It was, however, too perfect to have been created by mankind. So, even before entering, the visitor knew he wasn't dealing with just any merchant. Priam had no idea how Mercury had been able to transport the edifice, but it seemed that the merchant's supporters in…

"Now, who drinks water? Who owns the zebra? You've got thirty seconds." Priam's body came to a complete stop and the debris covering Sphinx stopped shaking. Sphinx's power worked both ways. Seconds began to tick away as Sphinx searched for the solution to the riddle. Before the apocalypse, Priam had succeeded in solving the riddle. The trick was to create a picture. For example, the Norwegian lived in the first house, next to the blue house. Hence, the second house was blue. Writing down the answers as…

Priam opened his eyes briefly, only to close them again a few seconds later. Whether his eyes were open or not, he couldn't see anything. Nor could he hear anything. After the previous hours of battles, the silence was pleasant. Although, with a few moments' concentration, Priam began to hear his heartbeat. Tiny squeaks were also perceptible, coming from... rubbing his clothes as he breathed. More than that, Priam now felt a call in a specific direction. He soon realized that his senses had evolved. His…
