Kay reached out to tug on the edge of his sleeve and paused. With a small grin he mentally adjusted the feel of the “fabric” around his wrists. The shaped blood that made up his outfit rippled as it changed to his will and he chuckled softly at the sensation and the possibility. Even after years of being able to do actual magic it still sometimes snuck up on him how damn cool this all was. Outside of the tragedy of being separated form all the people he loved from Earth, his life was doing great. There…-

Eleniah slipped on the silvery colored bracelet one of Alahna’s servants had handed her along with the clothes she’d just put on and checked her reflection in the full length mirror. Personally she thought she looked pretty good, although she wasn’t enthused about her dress. There wasn’t much she could do with her hair, as short as it was, and she liked to keep both her makeup and her accessories light, so there wasn’t much drawing the eye away from her clothing. The dress was a tight fitting one…

“What?” Cindy leaned across the table, her hands bracing at the edge. She stared incredulously at the disheveled man across from her. “They asked for what?” “They haven’t actually asked, milady, but the idea was brought up in some of the council sessions they’ve been having to deal with the current issues.” The man, who wasn’t quite a spy but certainly wasn’t just one of Avalon’s scouts, was doing his best to remain professional and unfazed by his surroundings, but his exhaustion was…

A pair of Seramist royal guards swept into the room, scanned the environs, made tense eye contact with Kay’s Blood Guard, then stepped back to allow Alahna to pass by them. Kay and Eleniah were sitting across from each other in the small dining room attached to the suite that Kay was staying in, which was different from the attached large dining room. They’d returned from the dungeon, had a quick chat with the bevy of negotiators they’d brought along to assist Kay in making deals while Amanda…

“You’re excited about a training dummy?” Kay asked, staring down at the miniaturized black stone asura sitting in the palm of his hand. They’d grabbed the loot and started making their way out of the dungeon. Eleniah’s goal for them had been to beat the asura golem and they didn’t have unlimited time to spending diving into the dungeon, so their run was over for the time being. Eleniah scoffed at him. “That’s as much as training dummy the same way you’re just an Outworlder. That’s a…

Kay threw his arms back, launching himself out of the crater his body had made and just skimming over the first fist that wanted to pulp him. A thin streak of blood coated one of the knuckles as the outer layer of his helmet skimmed across the stone. Kay pulled back and slammed his twin blades into the arm as he flew past, leaving long gouges following behind him. The whole body of the asura golem shook as its attacks landed on the wall and Kay had to tuck and roll to avoid slamming into a slightly higher…

“That’s a miniboss?” Kay demanded, pointing at the hulking, forty-foot tall golem. “Yeah. It’s a dungeon that tier fives can progress in, what were you expecting, a cuddly kitten you could kill with a look?” The miniboss lived, whatever that word meant when used to describe a magically created figure made out of stone that had never breathed, in a suitably large arena that gave the towering monster enough space to move around freely. The path that led from the last room opened out onto a…

Like every “door” he’d seen so far in the dungeon, there wasn’t a door, just an open archway leading into a darkened tunnel that spanned the short distance between rooms. The walls and the ceilings are cramped, not tight enough to prevent entry to anyone but the largest of visitors but small enough that was impossible to see into each room until they were right at the entrance. “What’s next?” Kay asked Eleniah, since after the first room she was happy to let him be forewarned. “Big…

A blocky stone fist larger than she was crumpled against Eleniah’s own fist, crumpling like so much paper before the unmovable force that was Kay’s partner before it shattered outward in a wave of shrapnel. Losing a limb didn’t slow the humongous golem for even a microsecond and it’s second fist slammed down in like a hammer followed up by its third and forth fists doing the same. The core that controlled the Golem Army’s Citadel dungeon had at some point in its time designing monsters to kill…

Footsteps against stone bricks let out quiet clacking noises as Kay’s party moved into the dungeon. It was an interesting party, comprised of Kay, Eleniah, Kay’s guards who would only be participating in fights if Kay needed help staying alive or if there were enough enemies to make it worth it for everyone to participate, and Miri the mysterious maid, who was following Kay for reasons he wasn’t entirely clear about. He remembered that she’d supposedly been tasked by Alahna or someone else in the…
