“So you wanted to talk?” Toby said as he propped his head up with one arm on the stone table and browsed the cards he fanned out in his other out of Andrew’s sight. His eyes darted between his hidden hand of cards and the cards Andrew had just thrown onto the table. “Yes,” Eve said politely and straightened her back. “We have many questions.” “Well, fire away.” Toby casually tossed two cards onto the table, and Andrew frowned. Toby was the type of man you wouldn’t want to cross at…

“My phone is out of battery.” All the anticipation shifted to anger. “Ask your friend then,” Victor hissed with unconcealed rage. “Yo, John, can you search if a man called Victor Harrison died? No, I am not a mob boss… No, I didn’t kill him. Just search for it, you idiot. Ah, give it here.” Sound of rustling and a few grunts. “Errr, boss, was this Victor Harrison guy a famous singer?” “No.” “Politician?” “No.” “Scientist?” “No, he was a nobody living in…

So she can use the void, huh? Victor watched her impressive display of magic with interest. Didn’t expect humans to be able to wield the void, always assumed it was out of the System’s jurisdiction, but I guess I was wrong. He shook his head and went to find the poor girl’s food. If not for her high CON stat, she would have starved to death or returned to her pathetic state from before. She had lost a bit of muscle and fat, but overall she looked all right. Nothing a little food couldn’t fix…but…

You are the first System user to make contact with a creature from the void and survive more than twenty-four hours. You are the first System user to converse with a creature from the void. A creature from the void has taken an interest in you. You have been granted a Legendary class. Evolution commenced. *** Alice felt cold. Not the coldness she felt on those frosty winter mornings back in Eshnar, where the chill phased through her skin and dug deep into her bones, gnawing away at her joints…

Getting to feel superior to a dragon wasn’t an everyday occurrence. So as Alice dumped her remaining eight unspent points into her CON stat, bringing it up to an impressive eighty-six, she felt better than ever. She had debated focusing on a few other stats with her unspent points. But, right now, she needed a solid body to deal with the current circumstances. Strength? She was riding a freaking dragon. Dexterity? She didn’t use a bow or practice calligraphy. Intelligence defined the size of her mana…

A weird emotion bubbled in Victor’s chest as over twenty dragons bowed their heads in a ring around his avatar. With many stat points to play with, he had resummoned his shadowy avatar that appeared as a tall man with indescribable features and a fancy top hat. Alice was off to the side, floating in the air… Well, that is new. Since when could she float around like me? Dense raven mana coated every inch of her pale skin like a latex suit of armor. Only her head was uncovered, with her black hair…

Alice struggled to keep up with the slaughter. She didn’t even have time to summon her trusty blue screens to check on her ever-increasing level. Dragon roars shook the skies. She squinted as she witnessed another dragon crash into the white tower with a gaping wound in its head. Then, before the dragon corpse even grazed the ground, it began flapping its leathery wings with a dazed look. Death affinity mana swirled around its form as the dragon latched onto the back of the nearest chrome-scaled dragon…

Victor floated on ahead and felt a wave of chaotic mana assault him. He quickly brought up his status page to check for any anomalies. (Lifeforce Unstable - 19:07:00) (Slight Mana Sickness) (Level up!) Slight mana sickness? Victor observed his stats decline at their usual rate, so he closed the blue screen and concentrated on the incredible view. The plain stone tunnel fanned out into a massive space. A marble dome thousands of meters up was illuminated by a giant piece of…

Alice ignored the howling wind flying through her hair, the musky scent of the man’s waist she was clutching for dear life, and her arse that burned as the horse galloped at an impossible speed. She didn’t even have clothes or a seat to cushion the blow of horseback riding. If not for her increased CON stat, she feared the relentless assault on her arse would smash her tailbone into smithereens. Despite the pain, she grinned from ear to ear as her hand danced across the blue screens that orbited her…
