'Shit' the string that I had accidentally touched had just shown the soul where I was, not to mention that the string had somehow wrapped itself around my leg. 'Guh' I grunted to myself, the string had tightened, the string drawing blood from my leg. It seemed like the string was not only meant to find my location but to also damage my leg if possible. I could see the soul charging at me, he would be at my position in barely a second. There was only a moment to think on whether I was going to cut the…-

Walking off, I left Gabriel and Naomi to their own devices. It was about time that I finished my self-appointed mission. Initially I was only going to train them so that they felt indebted to me but as I started to train them more and more I felt a small joy start growing in me as I saw the progress they were making. Gabriel's successful deployment of a full body reinforcement, her increased combat awareness, Naomi's reflects growth and shield mastery. Every time I saw them grow I felt joy, it was an odd…

"Oof" I was pushed to the ground, my footing gave away as I fell to the ground. I pushed myself so that I was sitting, wiping the dirt from my face as I looked up at Aoif. Aoif had stopped near me and reached out a hand to pull me back up. I glared at the hand and pushed it away pulling myself up on my own, glaring at her all the while. "Again?" Aoif asked, a smirk on her face as if to imply that I could not go again, I grit my teeth at that, the power and skill that Aoif had shown, I could not fathom…

My plan had worked, it wasn't hard to see that Gabriel prided herself on her intelligence. Her actions showed how much she thought of herself. From the very moment that we had met up till now, there were many instances where her intelligence both shone and cost her. The elaborate maneuvers that she performed while fighting yesterday which while they did get her out of trouble left Naomi on her own, even the methodical use of aether in how she manipulated her attacks into chains even after firing them…

"I… I messed up, I failed." It was a bitter truth to admit. For so long I had known that I was a genius or at least as close as one could get to one. Things that were generally hard for others to do, or to learn came as easily as breathing to me. I might fail once or twice but that was the extent, the only errors after that were ones that were caused by my carelessness. Maybe I had forgotten a step or maybe I rushed through it. But this was different, I had tried my best, my life was on the line. The…

As dawn broke and the morning sunlight shone upon my face, I woke up. I felt more powerful, like the things that once took considerable effort were now trivial. I went to my unread notifications and looked. I had leveled up, I was so close to the peak of tier 7 that I could feel it. My elation was soon dropped when I felt next to me Aoif, who was still as unfathomable in power as ever. Even with my recent increase in power I could feel that I would not be able to make a scratch on her if she was…

Seeing Aoif off I could feel the sinking loneliness that came with no longer being able to feel her presence. It was painful but I knew how much Aoif wanted to do this, I would not deny her this chance. I went back into the house where Tama was waiting for me, lunch in hand. She placed the food down on the table and it was then that I remembered something. I could evolve the house, previously I had waited to evolve it because I was not the right tier but now that I was tier 5 I could evolve it to that…

With shaking hands I fought the sleepiness that threatened to overcome my being. The sticks that I had gathered from around the forest were all bundled up to the right. Slowly I started to build a little tower, the sticks slowly forming into something that would hold a fire. Once that was done I flexed my aether and drew out all the cold from the sticks, changing them from wet to sparking. I frowned when I did that, usually when I was assigned to make a fire it would take longer to spark the wood. It was…

A sweep of my tail sent thousands of ice shards into the horde of guards swarming me. The shards pounding at the horde stopped the flood from nearing but it did not stop their ranged attacks. Just looking up I could see the thousands of arrows and daggers being thrown and shot at us. the wall of ice fragments was doing a good job of keeping them from hitting me but it didn't keep everything. There were still tens of daggers and arrows that pierced through my defenses and into the surrounding…

I slashed upwards cutting the hand of one of the veiled guards off then using the momentum generated I pivot my foot letting the momentum transfer to my hand where it then allowed me to imbue more strength into my piercing strike which allowed me to plunge my hand over the heart of the veiled guard. Once my hand was over its heart I closed my hand into a fist, crushing its heart. The veiled guards around me all started to scatter, however I did not chase after them. I could have killed them all, not…
