After an intense week, the Tutorial ends. Congratulations to the survivors. All humans are invited to the Reunion. Get ready, you will be transported in 30 hours. The sky was slowly clearing as the ballet of the three suns began. Priam squinted, blinded. He had good astronomy knowledge but didn't know how these suns interacted. How far away were they from More worrisome, Priam had noticed that the days were rapidly getting shorter. Of course, as the winter solstice approached, it was normal for the…

The Hoplite warrior was thrown backward violently. Priam had absorbed part of the shock that threw him towards the tree. The tree was less than a hundred meters from Log-a-rhythm, so he had been able to activate the secret passage. The hoplite had not noticed anything, the entrance almost invisible to anyone but Priam. The young man had then crawled away from the tree so the warrior could place himself between him and the portal. He then had to physically touch the hunter to return part of his blow and…

Priam would have wanted to scream with rage. Just before his death, as his fingers grazed the rabhorn, he had been so proud of himself. The environment of Priam calmed down and thought about his situation. In this new world, he was alone. For a human, this was difficult. Humans are social creatures. It was most apparent in extroverts. True, most introverts - like Priam - were comforted by knowing they could be alone in their homes. But they were still happy to visit a few friends, call their parents, or…

The sun's rays were lost between the branches of Log-a-rhythm. As they tried to break free, they seemed to create green and golden light bridges. As Priam looked at these arcs of shimmering light, he thought how beautiful this world was. He had just come out of the tree and was eager to try his new technique. He smiled as he looked at the skill again—his skill. He began by stretching. Before using his new technique, Priam wanted to discover the limits of his body. Using a technique without…

The host has owned the System for five days. Unlocking the Potential. The Potential is a resource linking the host to the Concepts. By consuming it, you may borrow the power of the Divine. Creation and evolution of skills, increase of characteristics,... the uses of the Potential are numerous. Use it sparingly. Priam woke up happy and well. Glad to be alive, safe, and knowing he could get better. He could finally use his Potential and create a skill that would allow him to defend himself against the ants…

As the three suns seemed to disappear as if gradually melting into the night sky, Priam was thinking. He didn't want to make a hasty decision but wasn't planning to sleep another night outside the Hut. Priam concentrated. If two neurons were to connect, it was now or never. A wrong choice could lead to his death. "Most of the themes are pretty obvious. The Shack already benefits from If the tree could produce resources like Passiflora, Priam could become extremely powerful while being safe in his…

Priam walked through the forest as quietly as possible, thinking how beautiful this world was. For the first time since he arrived, he was really looking around, identifying trees, plants, insects, and birds. The colors around him were vibrant. Almost alive. It was partly due to his superhuman perception but primarily to the aether. Everything, from the living to the inert, from matter to energy, was impregnated with aether, giving them a touch of... Magic. The young man felt that his body was also…

A soft, refreshing rain fell on the forest. The drops fell first on the high tops of the trees, before sliding down leaves and branches. Some of these drops penetrated the ground. Others flowed along a rocky outcrop before beading on a sharp angle. From time to time, yielding to gravity rather than capillarity, they would fall and end up in the open mouth of a naked young man leaning against the rock face. Priam was drinking for the first time in three days, and this simple happiness brought a tired…

Priam opened his eyes to the blue sky. His mind was a little confused as he thought that dying once a day to return stronger was good. When you had a bonus life like him, it was a good way to maximize your growth. You just had to avoid dying twice. The resurrection erased his traumas. An ordinary person pierced by a Terminator could not be well despite a miraculous recovery. Priam had felt his body being destroyed. He had felt the arms of Var Elegis working their way through his skin, muscles, bones, and…

Under three suns of different colors, an ocean stretched as far as the eye could see. The curvature of the horizon did not seem to exist. This world was too vast. Floating islands dotted the sky. A few trees, titans on top of these wandering forests, sometimes pierced the rock of these islands to come and absorb the water and allow an ecosystem to be created. A traveler could have ascended by climbing along the roots connecting seas to lands. Various creatures used these vegetal bridges to navigate in…
