A clone of shadow scaled the exterior of the devastated temple as Szesis watched through the copies senses. Both human and spriggan were in rough shape, clearly injured from a life and death battle. The second human appeared with a flash of light a few moments later, Szesis immediately dismissed him as dead. He doubted anyone could lose that much blood and guts and walk away alive. But both human and spriggan tried everything they could to save him. As he watched Szesis’ attention was drawn to the…

Two deer munched leaves and grass on a hillside overlooking the shattered city of Pherin. As mundane, Dark blue beams flashed out from inside the gargantuan thaumatic working, the darkness having a diameter of over a hundred metres. Goblins poured from the city's walls in their hundreds, the small green monsters were in such a panic they completely ignored the two free meals observing the battle between incarnate and awakened. Eventually the beams stopped, which disappointed the deer. The light-show…

All important discoveries are made when someone says; ‘This is a stupid idea, but let's do it anyway’. Most spectacular failures are also predated by these exact words but don’t let that stop you from trying! The first ‘this is a stupid idea’ came from Leif. The spriggan had, by mostly luck, come to the admittedly correct decision to hope his newly upgraded could overpower the rampaging death energy within his body in combination with the conversion from . So instead of fighting the power he…

It charged. Marcus called his gauntlet and retreated clockwise around the chamber. Sieg flooded the floor with as much ice as possible then went counter clockwise. The enslaver didn’t care, it charged right through the field of ice, ignoring both humans and launching itself at Leif. The spriggan didn’t have time to run, he tossed aside his sack of mana shards and raised two sets of arms in a cross before him and triggered . The skill's golden barrier flared to life as gleaming black mandibles went…

The trio dashed forward, away from the falling stones and towards the terrifying presence. They would have outrun the collapsing tunnel if every step didn’t feel like wading through malevolent molasses. A chunk of ceiling fell from above, Leif instinctually tugged at his newest skill. activated as two arms of ethereal gold erupted from his shoulders. Unlike before the limbs were far more defined, and though they were still far from opaque the skill's projections were distinctly more solid. Leif…

“Two…” Leif said. After neither man replied for several seconds he hissed and elaborated. “Once… like… you. Person…” In nervousness he checked the progress of his skill fusion. He had consumed several more lesser mana shards over the thirty minutes they had worked. “A person?” Marcus said. “A human? Like me and Sieg?” Leif nodded solemnly. “Memory… distant. Am… Leif. Always… was.” “But how? It doesn’t make sense.” “Don’t… know. I… am… unnatural ”…

The trembling had finally, blessedly stopped. The lower levels of the Mythhold seemed to be far more intact than what Leif had travelled through to get this far down. After a few minutes of rest Marcus stood up with a groan. “I’ll be fine. Can’t use any active skills for a little bit so lets avoid combat if we can.” Leif and Sieg nodded, the trio moved deeper into the mythhold. To Leif, the sheer scale of this underground structure was staggering, but the other two didn’t seem overly surprised.…

Goblins came screeching at the trio from all sides, they rushed forwards over a dozen at a time. Purple bolts of power danced through the oncoming tide, goblins fell one by one, fried by Marcus’s skill. Frost condensed around Sieg and icy winds whipped through the arena. Leif didn’t have time to pay any more attention to his companions, he crashed into the green wave and sent small bodies scattering. A punch shattered a skull, a kick burst vital organs. He conjured two short blades of ethereal golden…

Letlet watched in awe as what he could only assume were gods did battle in and above the ruined streets of the former human city; Pherin. To witness such glorious displays of power was something he had dreamed of ever since he came crawling out of a half destroyed basement. That was three months ago but to Letlet it felt like a lifetime. Which it was, for him at least. The system had only recently bestowed him with a name of power, Letlet had run around telling everyone he could! They had hit him and…

“I can’t close the maintenance door. It’s like the whole structure is shutting down.” Marcus said as he held up the door key. “And you can’t use your skill?” Sieg asked. “ only helps me unlock things I understand, not lock them again.” Marcus sighed. “The tunnels will be flooded full of goblins in no time, what a shit show. They may even find the hidden exit.” “What…do?” Leif asked as he drained vitality from frozen troll chunks. Sieg looked at Marcus. The shorter man…
