"Nothing's changed this time around, huh?" Lone said to himself as he peered down into Void's Abyss. Darkness's peculiar body of purple galaxies appeared next to him. "Well, you haven't exactly gained any new mental or soul-related skills nor have you ranked up again." "Right shame that is," Lone sighed. "You're a godly being right? Any ideas on what I need to do to reach B-rank?" "I'm no expert but I would assume you need enlightenment," Darkness replied with a sagely nod. Lone gave it a dirty…-

Still, it wasn't all bad news. Lone smiled as he got up and stretched his back. Lone shook his head. A few minutes later, Lone was now in a different part of the fallen city. He was following Soph's directions as his mind wandered. Considering that, he was actually rather lucky he was able to snap her neck. If she had learned how to apply her Vitality, Lone wondered if he'd have been able to kill her that way with his roughly 5,000 Strength. He was taken out of his…

When Sophie's Teleportation had concluded, Lone found himself in his camp with the blood mage, Breena, and Hamish. From what little he could tell, the blood mage was controlling some sort of freeform blood magic to lightly strangle Breena and Hamish. Not enough to knock them out, but enough to snap their necks if just a little bit more force was applied. Lone doubted his two companions were in any danger, however. "How'd you make the blood so solid?" Lone asked calmly while he inspected the…

"Hmm..." Rosanne furrowed her brow in confusion. "Whatever could they be doing..." She stared at the crimson sphere floating before her, fascination filling her being more so than any other emotion. Not three days ago a group of four people who didn't exactly belong together down in the Farwinds had triggered her Blood Reading skill. Initially, she had thanked the Rosanne from almost 2,000 years ago for dedicating the better part of two centuries into earning that skill and perfecting it - ten or…

Lone laid his left palm out flat and then placed his right index and middle fingers atop it like legs. "This is me." He then controlled his Blood Clone and positioned it about a metre away from his hands. "That is you. When it moves, it'll be your barrier." Soph nodded in uncertainty. She was following along but she clearly didn't get why Lone was doing this instead of just telling her what it was she had done, exactly. Lone grinned. He used Bone Armour but only on the two fingers that were…

While the pain was nigh unmatched, Lone's Physical Pain Resistance allowed him to think beyond it and imbue his Basic Regeneration with his SP. In an instant, he burned through almost a third of his nearly 100,000 SP to regrow his limbs and fend off the barriers assaulting him from within. With that done, he sprung up to his feet, still constantly feeding Basic Regeneration stamina points. He activated his Bone Armour and Survivor's Speed at the same time. The next moment, as a group of whizzing…

Seven days had come and gone since Lone's meeting with the mysterious assassin whose name and organisation were left unknown. No one had come to attack them yet, though that had been true since the conclusion of Lone's trial, so he and his group weren't sure how effective the assassin's promise was to keep other organisations from taking the bounty quite yet. Right now, Lone was watching intently as Soph and Hamish sparred. Thus far, no matter how many times the two of them had duelled, Hamish always…

"I'm back," he answered physically as he winced. "What's the emergency?" Soph stared at him for a second then nodded in relief. "A dwarven man who I think is roughly an SS-ranker has been standing at the very edge of my Mana Sensing, just inside of it. He somehow knows I can 'see' him. He has his hands up in surrender. I think he wants to talk, but he hasn't moved his mouth yet so I dunno. Sophie and I can't think of any other reason he'd do that though." "Well, that's certainly not what I was…

Lone blinked his eyes and took in his surroundings. Most of what was within his soul courtyard from the last time he was here was unchanged, namely, Sky's cloud palace, Darkness's inverted pyramid, and Void's central abyss. What Their golden colour was more vibrant, they were thicker, and a second set now extended from both the palace and the pyramid, implying the binding of Void was now stronger and more secure. There was also a new addition to the peculiar courtyard that was Lone's soul.…

After everyone had their fill of the Rusty Sprocket's lunch menu items that Lone had bought and kept in his Dimensional Storage, he got to work on training the kids. "That was fast," he said, pointing at Scott. "Greatsword with no shield is your ideal weapon combo. Start putting on the armour now so I can judge that too." Ten minutes passed before Lone stopped George. "Spears above three metres in length but shorter than five for you, so longspears." Another five minutes and Hazel's ideal weapon…
