While swimming toward the island I heightened my senses and scanned the environment in search of both dangers and prey. I also made a special note to pay extra attention to the edges of the islands as there was something specific I was on the lookout for. Generally, there was no clear condition for this particular dungeon unless every monster was killed. However, it was incredibly difficult to do as monsters were always breeding and adapting while growing stronger. Due to there being no boss in a…-

Taking a single step forward my body was flung ahead at an unprecedented speed. As if I had just teleported a great distance was covered and while I was still making sense of what just happened the corpse finally crashed down. A wave of sand and dust shot out and blinded me but being that I was still breathing it meant that I managed to dodge the dead worm. Although I was still unsure of how that was possible I calmed my raging heart as I waited for the sand to settle. When I could see again I…

Thinking of all possible ways to survive the ordeal a couple of options opened up however most of them I didn't want to do. If I wanted to I could use Aether or turn the worm into my puppet but doing so would reveal my most powerful abilities to the shadows. I still couldn't pinpoint their location and I had no way of knowing if they were able to keep up with me but I had a feeling that they were able to. After all, they are only slightly weaker than me but I've been using less than half of my true…

Baking under the sun my body began to burn. As I trekked through the seemingly endless sea of sand, the heat upped its toll. I was thankful that I had more than enough water stored in my ring to keep me alive but it didn't help in protecting me from the sun. The sun was scorching, and there was no shade in sight as I was forced to move forward praying that the terrain would come to an end. Yet hours passed and there was no change in the environment. At that time I was kicking myself for not…

Prepared to hunt my first monster within a dungeon I launched myself from behind cover and attacked the enemy. Coming up behind it before it could notice my presence I slashed with Nightfall at its rear end. Drawing blood I followed up the attack with another before falling back. Hearing the monster roar out in anger the last place I wanted to be was directly behind it. At a slight distance, I watched as the rhino kicked its hind legs in fury. Seeing that I knew I made the right move to…

The exit of the dungeon itself was magnificent to me. Before we entered I made sure to study every aspect of it as there were always secrets hidden within the depths of the unknown. My belief of that turned out to be correct as the portal itself revealed many intricacies. A dungeon portal is a magical gateway that appears when a dungeon begins to open. These portals are large, dark, and ominous, with a swirling vortex of energy at their center. The portal itself is framed by stone-like formations that…

When Miss Smith came out of the cave I was surprised to see a large duffel bag strung over her shoulders. "What's that?" Miss Smith looked at me funny. "My sister?" It took me a second to realize what she meant and when I did my mouth almost dropped open in shock. 'She's taking the remains? Isn't there a saying to not disturb the dead? Well, it's not like I can talk.' Recalling what happened in the elevator where I willingly stepped on the bodies of the dead there wasn't anything I could say to Miss…

Although Miss Smith did not live the greatest of lives and went through many painful years of existence it was nothing in comparison to her sister. The moment she was taken away from her parents she lost any feelings of touch involving love. Those who handled her treated her as an experiment and an experiment is what she became as countless tests were done on her. It was a traumatic experience to go through at such a young age. After all, the girl was only a toddler still in her single digits of…

While I was waiting for Miss Smith to finish up her business in the cave there were a couple of things I wanted to check up on. The first thing I wanted to know was what happened to the Terror Birds and if any of them survived. Yet before I did that I wanted to fully understand the meaning behind the power gifted to me from the curse. Pulling back my sleeve I looked down at my watch and checked up on some of the notifications I got. , , ] which allows the puppetmaster to see through the eyes of its…

Following behind her, the two of us entered the cave where Miss Smith would learn of a painful fact. As we ventured deeper into the cave, the darkness enveloped us like a thick blanket, making it impossible to see even my own hand in front of me. Ordinarily I would have never entered such a creepy place, but I knew that there wasn't any danger, so it was just a matter of having the right mindset. We continued to move on and the dampness in the air chilled me to the bone. It didn't help that the sounds…
