Aldrich headed back to the very beginning of the Trial Quest. He was now fully decked out in the set. A dark green, almost brown hood with golden trim covered his masked face, granting him the ragged yet sinister appearance of the typical necromancer. The set covered his body in a mantle and cloak of the same dark green, covering him in loose robes marked embroidery and insignia of gold shaped in streaks with a skull emblazoned at the chest. Tatters were a common sight around these robes, but instead…-

"Cool. I can see through the dark now," said Dynamite Girl as she walked through the narrow trails of the cave. Within, there was no light and the only sounds audible were the drips and drops of water falling from stalactites hanging low from the cave ceiling. "Don't even need night-vision goggles." "See to it that you thank the master for your newfound body," said Valera. "I do wonder how you humans wander about in your weak prisons of human flesh. A little stab in an organ here and you keel over dead,…

The Big-arm Grizzly loosed a bellowing roar as it charged into the encampment on all fours, barreling forwards in a full ton of raging claws and jaws and fury. Ahead of it ran the Alpha Striker. The seven trolls pointed at the grizzly and striker and grunted and roared before charging against them. The surged forwards with confidence, seeing that it was seven against two. "Time to help your friends out." Aldrich strategically dropped the Geist in the middle of the trolls as they charged. "Geh!"…

Aldrich stood atop the back of his giant eagle and watched with a hand to his chin as he observed the Geist. The Geist ploughed up a geyser of muddy swamp water when it landed in the swamp, and almost immediately, the six giant mud crabs became active. They were easily the size of a large hovercar with pincers large enough to slap a fully gown adult man into pulp wholesale. A flurry of angry pincer jabs and smacks assaulted the Geist. All things considered , the Geist did not take that much…

Aldrich found the environment around him changed from forest to the dull grey stone and gothic architecture of the Nexus. He felt his HP and Mana restore to max, and the first thing he did was go up to the Wellspring of Life and restore the charges on his flask. "Huh, where's this, boss?" said Fisk as he looked around in pure wonder, staring first at the imposing gargoyle crowned pillars surrounding the Nexus and then at the ceiling full of golden and blue crystals. "Looks like a place straight out of a…

Aldrich distributed his 5 new stat points as he sped his way through the forest, weaving through trees and thin gaps with expert agility. He was not as fast as any Alter with powers that boosted their physicals, let alone ones that specialized them for speed, but he was fast enough that he could run circles around Alters with no such powers provided their AC count was not extremely high. As Aldrich reconvened with Valera, he distributed his 5 new stat points. 45] 27 (34)] 32/72…

Aldrich spent the next several hours just poring through all of Ghost's communications about the Red Circle. His focus was unbroken, his mental stamina just as infinite as his physical stamina from being undead. Ghost and the Odinson boss all talked on private chatrooms located in what was known as the Darknet. The regular Net was formed by the Panopticon after the Monstering and was considered an evolution of the world wide web. It accommodated techno Alters who could now literally dive through…

Aldrich kicked over the Odinson boss so that he faced upwards. He could not move on account of how tightly wrapped up he was in the brown tarp Valera had rolled him in, but his mouth was already moving. "Anything you want, I'll tell you! You need something? I'll get it to you!" said the Odinson boss, his one biological eye so wide that it looked like it was damn near ready to pop out of his skull. "Just don't put me back to sleep! Not there, not back there, not the nightmares, god, no!" "Well, that…

85/500] "Now, shall we get to razing this base?" said Valera. "Not yet. I'm going to loot this place as much as possible first," said Aldrich. He went over to the nightmare wrapped Odinson boss and patted him down, finding an Eye-Phone, cigars, a lighter, wallet, and, most notably, a set of car keys. Aldrich took the keys and phone for himself before motioning to Valera. "Take a tarp from outside and wrap him in it. We're taking this guy with us for questioning." "Ah, questioning, is it?"…

"The Trident, is it?" said Aldrich as he made his way towards the Odinson boss. The Trident. A name that Aldrich would never forget. The criminal organization that had killed his parents. One of the largest international crime syndicates on the planet whose web of influence spread from North America all the way to East Asia. Some of the most famous and feared villains worked for it. Ending that organization was going to take time and power, but thankfully for Aldrich, he had time, and soon, he would…
