"Control your anger, or it controls you," I shouted even as I swung my staff, sending Jertann across the room, even slamming him with an oppressive feeling to keep him down. Beating someone down repeatedly while supernaturally suppressing them didn't feel like it should work, but it was the only thing that was actually working. "I'm … trying," he shouted as he swung his staff, his strength was far above what he should display at his level. It wasn't enough to threaten me, but considering I was a hero…

"I hope it was a nice dungeon run, boss," Mahruss said the moment I stepped out. "Well, I can't complain," I said even as I threw the sack that was filled with skills and mana stones at him. He checked it, his eyes widening slightly. "Not bad, boss," he said, though the slight widening of his eyes was his only sign of shock. Not because the loot was small, but because I had surprised them far too many times for him to find it actually shocking. It was a pity, as it meant that teasing them wasn't as easy.…

Stepping through the magic gate to the dungeon was a strangely familiar feeling, though it took me a while to understand exactly where that sensation was coming from. Then, I realized why it took that long. The last time I had felt it, I was trying not to bleed to death, right when this mess had started, and could barely pay attention to my surroundings. I didn't have too much time to compare, as the sensation of traveling through a tunnel of light lasted for a fraction of a second. Without my…

"Tell me exactly how a dungeon works," I said, feeling curious about its working principles now that I wasn't afraid of stepping into one. Losing my ability to use Destruction Mana had its drawbacks, but finally having access to dungeons was worth it. And, with everything going on, exploring the nature of the dungeons hadn't been a priority. That changed after the breach was gone and the outpost wasn't enough to supply sufficient Experience for me, leaving the dungeon as the best source. "Do you want the…

As I dashed through the plains, I suddenly couldn't help but be thankful for my brief interlude in the storage room. With the corrupted breach gone, I had been hoping for a holiday, but it looked like the break was the best I could hope for. Even as I traveled, I was in constant communication with Zolast, asking him to arrange an evacuation at the same time. Luckily, we had the option of retreating to Town Maell if the situation devolved. I suspected that even a kingdom wouldn't aggravate a mysterious…

"Well, this has been a productive session, but I think that's enough for now," I finally called an end. "Really? But I still haven't Awakened Strength and Agility," Zolast argued. "It's clearly not working," I answered. "Maybe I should give you a bodybuilding regimen, to make you understand the physical abilities better." "Actually—" Zolast started, but I interrupted him again. "You have already Awakened Perception, Resilience, Concealment, and Wisdom," I countered. "And you don't even have any…

"… you have to admit, the unintentional timing was amusing." Zolast only grumbled. "Not when you're the one that had been blindsided by a political crisis while trying not to accidentally kill an annoying puppet," he said. "Do you have any idea how hard it's to fake weakness when all of your Stats suddenly triple in effectiveness?" "I wouldn't know. Awakened Stats don't have such problems —" I responded, only to lean to avoid a mana bolt targeting my head. "Hey, that's rude," I said as I waved my…

Once their mission was over, leaving the castle ended up being easier than I had expected. The soldiers were already exhausted after the three days of constant mana bombardment done to make sure I was dead. I felt honored to deserve dozens of flying castles' constant bombardment. I couldn't imagine the cost of such a military exercise, but I could guess that it was far more than anything we had been able to collect. Too bad their glorious display of force didn't even come close to succeeding. Amusingly,…

Zolast hated Edward. He really, really did. Particularly, his horrible timing. Just half an hour ago, he had helped Launara get her promotion. The class she received had been shocking enough. Mistress of the Forge, a class Zolast had never heard of before. But, considering it gave eight stat points for every level, with two points free, he didn't need to hear of it before to understand just how significant it was. Then, there was the fact that Launara had just received her Life Elevation, and instead…

I stayed near the balcony I had used to slip in as the castle rocked for a moment. It made it easier to get caught, but the ability to jump out felt more important as the castle shook at the moment of disaster. At the same time, I was also observing the people running around, checking their level of panic. I only relaxed once I noticed the officers weren't panicking. They were tense and stressed, but they weren't panicking, which was all that I needed to confirm the truth of the matter. As the explosion…
