I had no choice. I decisively raised my other hand and chopped my arm off. With a pathetic squirt of blood my arm was severed from my torso. The surprise of chopping my own arm off gave pause to the corpse attacking me. Along with the mobility that I had regained, the act of chopping off my arm gave me a huge adrenaline boost which allowed me to fight through the pain. Dropping to the ground I dodged the jab. After I had dodged the jab I then pushed myself off the ground then closed the…-

Passing through the vast agriculture was hauntingly beautiful. The contrast between highly advanced farms and the land being overtaken by nature was both beautiful and haunting. To know that nature will eventually overtake everything is one thing but to see it with my own eyes, the death of what could have been a technologically advanced civilization being brought to its knees by nature, was stunning. As I grew closer to the edge of the city I saw no walls. I wondered how they had defended or if…

After I was finished eating I checked the system message. Although I had advanced to level 3 of tier 9 my reserves didn't feel as if they had increased at all. The only thing that changed was that it was easier to circulate my aether around my pathways. As I circulated the leftover aether from the fight around my pathways I found it easier and easier to push it outwards towards my skin. Although every time I tried to push my aether out of my skin it would still make cuts, however they weren't as…

Day had turned to night. Without Tamas help it was a difficult journey to get a fire set up. Especially trying to get a fire set up while dying of hunger. I had got it eventually but it was difficult. Even after setting up the fire I also had to cook the boar. 'Weird how reliant I became on Tama, she provided me food, shelter, and protection, only now can I really appreciate how much of a help Tama had been' I think while I turn the meat I had on the fire over. It was the second time I had started…

Selecting the evolution button doesn't pull up an evolution window. ] It just pulls the final screen up, honestly it unnerves me. In all my uses of evolution there has always been an option even if it is only one option. Either way I can't back out now, this world is dangerous, even with the protection of Delta and Tama there are still things that can overcome them. Not even counting that they would have to protect Aoif and I. Strengthening my resolve I pressed the confirm…

The sun rose and with it another day. I awoke as is usual for me now, with Aoif snuggling to me. Getting out of bed and doing my daily deeds took barely any time and by the time I was done Tama was in the dining room waiting with food ready for me and Aoif. Aoif barely took any time to do her daily routine either and by the time 10 minutes had passed she had joined us for breakfast. After we had eaten breakfast I go to ask Tama to teach us how to properly use our pathways but before I could do that…

It had been minutes since their escape from the cave and still there were more spirits coming out of the cave. Sure it had taken the spirits minutes to pierce the caves rocks but after that it was easy for the weaker ones to just follow the footsteps of the stronger ones and escape by their tunnel. The only good news was that they weren't chasing us. "We should head back to report to our Lords" I comment to Delta beside me. "Yes" Delta replies … It was a short trip, even shorter if I would have…

A few comrades and I were ordered by one of the dryads to go with the Alicanto and find ore to take back to our village. It was a simple task to follow the Alicanto to a vein of ore then mine said ore. The past day and a half were just us building and building and building no break. That woman was a slave driver. The only time I have heard her not call us slaves was when we were in the presence of the Lord. In fact she might just have split personality disorder or something. The change in mood is…

Setting up the explosives was easy. What was difficult was putting them in a place where whatever creature would burst out would be bombarded by explosives. There were no signs of the creature on my scanners so I had to rely on my combat algorithms to predict the most likely places for an unknown creature would pop out. While I had tons of explosives most were not going to be used for this trap. The reason being that if I detonated them so close to us while we would survive there is a great chance…

Waking up was a pleasant experience for once. Usually when I wake up I would be all groggy, barely cognizant of the world. It was not pleasant always waking up feeling like a tired mess. Today was different. I still woke up groggy but next to me was a source of warmth. It was comforting, it made me want to go straight back to sleep in that warmth while cuddling it. However I had things I needed to do today so no matter how comfortable it was I needed to get out of bed. Opening my eyes, they were…
