Bam trotted through the field of fully grown grain and considered that it was unfair that she wasn’t allowed to eat all of it. It grew so quickly, and nobody would notice if she nibbled on a couple, or several hundred juicy heads. It was truly outrageous, one of life’s great injustices. She walked along the dirt path towards the farmhouse in the distance. There were lots of buildings now, it felt like every day those with the misfortune of possessing thumbs would run around putting more up. She…

Lucia’s world spun, and that was in part because Zane had dropped her onto the lilting deck of the bisected ship he had leapt onto with her slung over his shoulder. All around her were the crashes, screams and emanations of battle, the activation of skills lighting up the night, their endlessly different aspects reflecting off the void that was the pitch black sea. All of those were reasons she struggled to find her feet, couldn’t see clearly, and was on the verge of a panic attack. But they weren’t…

Hera drew a final arrow, pulled back the string on her bow, then loosed. The projectile made of hard light flashed through the trees. Twisting between trunks as it hunted the figure with smokey wings. She felt it when the arrow landed, then she triggered one of her core skills, vanishing in a flash of white light, and appearing above the man. His body was pinned to the ground, his limbs twitching, his wings singeing the air as they dissolved. Her soul ached, and her arms trembled, but she couldn’t stop…

The crowd parted as Leif delicately used his aura, his presence, to gently direct the milling students around him. His aura washed over those within the portal hub and its connecting hallways and chambers, suppressing those within slightly, nudging them towards calm. His honest disposition, and genuine intention to help where he could, prevented a panic or outbreak of violence as he worked his way towards the portal arches. As he passed, a golden arm would stretch out, healing the wounded he moved…

In the brief moments between battle Leif checked over the system messages he had received. There were new skills, none of which seemed immediately vital for him to pick immediately, though he didn’t have the time to thoroughly go over the impressions they gave. was, judging by its name, something that could likely save his life in a pinch, but he wouldn’t pick it unless he felt it was necessary. What he could do however, was put the free point he had gained from the level up into , bringing the…

The sudden, instantaneous feeling of having several hostile intentions lance into his awareness almost cost Leif the fight. Him hesitating to retaliate, unsure as to the identity of his assailants almost got him killed. Almost. As a spear of crackling lightning punched through his chest, he didn’t feel pain, but the strike staggered him back a step. The shaft of the weapon was metal, every inch of its surface lined with glowing red runes. The ground beneath his right foot turned to mud, and he…

Lucia watched the team battle taking place in the arena with keen interest. She didn’t know any of the combatants, but one of the girls from the Pellus team was obviously a , the way she moved and fought, darting in for quick, intense strikes with her shortsword, only to rapidly retreat, was indicative of the class. One of the ’s teammates was throwing around balls of rainbow fire, the attacks seeming to distract and debilitate instead of burning his opponent. Lucia’s eyes narrowed as she watched…

“Well, child. It seems you have come to me with a most interesting discovery.” Vevosis said, the Spire Head lounging back in his chair, the thin line of his mouth curved into a slight smile. Or was it a sneer? Johan suddenly found his mouth dry and his heart rate accelerating. It was the effect of being in the direct presence of someone over twice his level, he knew that, but the nerves still fluttered up within him. “Sir, I-” “Shhh, I already heard from my subordinate. A monster infiltrating…

“How did you do that?” Nern inquired as the stone door opened completely, the slab rumbling to a stop with a crunch that reverberated through the floor. “I’m not sure.” Leif said as he walked forward, clothing billowing as the sea breeze buffeted him. With every step the lines carved into the stone, each filled with salty water began to emit a soft amber glow. There was a gentle incline of stone steps leading up to the base of the tree, with the grooves running from equidistant, shallow bowls…

“W-what on earth?” Marcus gasped, picking himself up off the dusty stone floor where Leif had shoved him. A golden shield rippled around him, warding off remnant waves of heat that washed over the room. “That thing almost turned me to ash.” The jagged remnants of crystal fell from Leif’s fingers as he crushed the gemstone in his fist, the automaton going inert beneath him. Blue flames still danced along the ceiling, charring ancient rock and filling the chamber with smoke. “That was a…
