The conversation continued with Liv and Samil speculating about the strength of their respective monstrous ancestors. Leif tuned them both out, not on purpose, he was simply too distracted by the most recent revelation. The thought was somewhat comforting. But a twinge in his soul told him that it couldn’t possibly be so easy. Something would go wrong, or there would be unexpected complications. His mind kept spinning as the night crawled on. === Marcus waddled over, more than a little tipsy. He…

Leif felt the attention on him, like gusts of wind constantly poking at his soul. Actually, some of the intent washing against him felt different, as if his aura was being questioned. Not understanding the difference and not having the time to consider he mentally battered them away. The questioning intent dispersed and Leif stepped forward. He Vitality washed down his arm as he focused on . With the boost to the attribute and the improvement to all healing related skills courtesy of golden light lit…

There was a brief moment of tension as both groups stood still. Then the leader of the visiting nomads laughed. “I like your attitude northman!” He bellowed. “Nowhere does hospitality like beyond the pass! It’s a damn travesty!” Sieg grinned. “You’ll have to forgive them, their Both men clasped forearms as if they were long time friends. Johan spluttered in the background, he muttered dark words and stalked off. With that the tension broke. The nomads, all on the younger side of…

As the expedition drew closer they caught the attention of the nomad camp. Individuals, too far away for any recognisable details, grabbed weapons and began scrambling around. Clearly the expedition’s arrival had caught them unaware. From his position at the rear of the expedition Leif saw the tension and nervous shuffling of the Academy students. He could sense several preparing for a fight, others looked as if they were ready to run. “The empire is quite hostile to Demikin.” Darius said as he…

The crimson glow from the closest moon’s cracked surface filtered down onto the planet. Where water pooled red was reflected like glistening blood. As season’s devastated side slowly rotated more and more into view over several days the weather began to shift. The winds would pick up, or become perfectly still. Rain or snow would fall in an endless wave only for the sun’s rays to warm the world the very next day. During these early days of turbulence a group of goblins ran through the wilderness.…

Leif looked rather unassuming under his new cloak. He was roughly the size and shape of a human adult, though he had different proportions. His arms were longer and his hands were larger, possessing four claw tipped fingers. With his hood up, aura withdrawn, and extremities hidden beneath fabric the spriggan wouldn’t draw too many odd glances. The expedition marched in a quick, loose, single file formation. Most people were burdened with their tents and belongings, but several were notably light on…

“Huh?” Leif asked. Looking blankly at the system message. “Huh?” Marcus asked, staring at his staring. “My analysis skill is saying you’re an ‘invalid target’.” Leif said, thoroughly confused. “What?” Marcus asked, dumbfounded. “What?” Sieg said, equally puzzled. He turned to look at Marcus, then shrugged. “Mine works fine.” Leif shared a look with the deer. “I have a new skill.” He explained, detailing the effects of his analysis skill. “For some reason it…

Three daggers, each controlled and propelled by telekinesis flashed forward. The sharp metal glinting under the sun. To Leif’s sight they were trailed by a thin line of gold. As were the movements of both of his opponents. Leif slapped aside the first, sidestepped the second and let the third impact his shoulder. It did little to stop him, though the dagger penetrated deep into his bark. The spriggan charged the human whom the blades belonged to, his four amber arms reaching, deflecting,…

Hera It was a bleak, disturbing reminder of what could have happened to her own homeland. To all the northern kingdoms during the massive Enslaved invasion for that matter. Her keen vision flicked to the stone wall of jagged teeth jutting from the ground like a savage grin. The northern mountains were a place of high mana density, danger lurked around every stone, even someone considered an ‘elite’ of humanity like herself had to be wary. But it wasn’t the mountains humanity had to be worried…

Leif’s fist rushed through the crisp morning air. He stepped forward, and moved into the next part of the training form. His every strike sent a small rush of wind blowing across the small flat plateau. He was using to empower his attribute. Having spent his nineteen free points on the effect was quite potent. === Attributes: Free: 0 === Leif effectively had over a hundred after the bonus was taken into account. allowed him to boost any other attribute by around twenty after counting the…
