"An impressive view," I said to Mahruss as we watched the army move out of the first mountain pass and started to spread. It certainly was, with their magic matte dark gray armor catching the sunlight in interesting ways, contrasting with the golden presence that followed them. I had insisted on adding the colors for a very simple reason. I wanted to reinforce a certain message. For the other forces of this world, even the royal military, there was a huge gap between the gears of the commoners and…

"… Holy Crusader has done an excellent job gathering your future brothers in arms," I said as I looked down at the army camp from the flying cart we currently occupied. Just me, and the sixteen Shades. Zolast had been tempted to join, but solving the city dungeon was a bigger priority than having another safety net for the new army. Particularly since, once they reached level thirty, their leveling up from hunting wild beasts would slow down significantly, and they would need the dungeon to improve…

"… It looks like the Holy Crusader and the great general worked hard," Zolast said as he entered. He avoided their names to the benefit of the sixteen new recruits that we had just collected. Recruits that were lying on the ground, demolished completely to the point that they couldn't even move. My recently recruited, and even more recently named worshippers. Sixteen Shades. It had a nice ring to it, like one of those knightly orders people loved so much. My accelerated training had been painful, but…

We walked away a bit while Herkut rested. "How's the experience," Zolast asked. "Weird," I answered. "Functions are more or less what I expected, but it feels weird," I answered. "How so?" "I don't know. It doesn't feel … natural. The difference is not easy to explain, but if I were to explain, the class System feels flexible and responsive, while the divine system feels more solid. Hard to explain." "Is it like the difference between a spell and a ward?" he asked. I paused to think about it. "In a…

"That was not fun…" I muttered as we left the dungeon. Spending a day in the dungeon, doing nothing but follow Zolast's instructions to fiddle with the dungeon had been particularly boring. "Really? Just a day, and you're already complaining," Zolast teased. "You're lucky that I have Awakened every related stat, or upgrading the dungeon to a workable quality would have taken months." I shuddered. Lucky indeed. It had been boring, particularly since there was nothing important for me to do. The…

After the mission assignments, the youngsters dispersed, while I traveled to Town Maell with Zolast. At first glance, Town Maell might have seemed like a lower-priority target. The mountain range was teeming with monsters and cultists alike, representing a threat, while the new city was still being built, its defenses far from perfect, particularly vulnerable to sabotage. I wished that I could clone myself and supervise both operations at the same time, even with a lifetime of experience telling me that…

"… So, does that mean the boss is now a god?" Terma asked. "Boy? Can't you wait until dinner is over?" I asked even as I sipped some of my drink. "Why? Ascension to godhood not an appropriate dinner conversation?" he quipped. I chuckled, though Zolast threw me a glance, showing that he had caught the slight hysteric edge in my tone. I couldn't help it. Today had been one of the most stressful days of my life … and considering everything I had lived through — both before and after summoning —…

As I approached the castle once more, I understood what drove the snake mad enough to attack. I got hit by the same effect. A thick sense of bloodlust, one that blanketed my mind. It was similar to Charisma, yet not exactly the same. If it had been Charisma, it would have been easy to deflect. Instead, I found my heartbeat quicken as an animalistic desire to shed blood filled me. Worse, it was only the amount that had been spilling over the protection of my Resilience. My first awakened stat was once…

The realization that Calamity's deadline moving forward was an unwelcome realization, as much as the undead army that was attacking the new city. Still, not wanting to be distracted under a live-fire situation. I shook my head and ignored both facts as I focused on my approach. As for the undead, I trusted Takis and Mahruss to handle the mess by using our army. The princess and her ducal army was there as well, so it should be achievable … particularly with the other team delaying the monster wave,…

I approached the mountain range that covered the horizon, my mind already churning ways to optimize my approach. Technically, I could cut through the beasts, as most of them were merely corrupted giant beasts, only occasionally interrupted by their lord beast equivalents. Neither had the ability to slow me down. Unfortunately, that approach had its drawbacks. It would alert the observers to my approach, giving them a chance to retreat or set an ambush based on their preference. I would loathe to cede…
