“It doesn’t look that bad…” “... I guess some of the walls are still standing.” Roland responded to Elodia as he reached through a fist-sized hole in his house wall. Numerous similar gaps adorned the structure. The Eldritch Horror encounter had left his entire compound in ruins, with tendrils and tentacles wreaking havoc. Virtually everything suffered some degree of damage; most wind generators were destroyed, and the side workshop where Bernir liked to work had collapsed. He couldn't…-

Gideon leaned forward, his gaze fixed on Roland with a newfound intensity. The mention of a sacred beast made him somewhat uneasy. From Elodia's story, it seemed they were concerned for Agni. It aligned with the old legends about Sunlight Wolfs and their obvious connection to the goddess. However, Roland couldn't rule out the possibility that they would resort to forceful means to take possession of his tamed beast. Typically, a monster attached to a person was considered a tamed beast, reinforced by…

“I apologize for not being able to visit sooner but as you know, we had a little situation.” “That’s fine, I bet you had to deal with the Golden Order locking down the city.” “Quite so.” Roland nodded at Arthur, who had come to visit him at the clinic. A day had passed since he had awoken, and his body was feeling much better. Most of the debuffing effects that had been affecting him were now gone, and he could be released. However, there was one small problem - the Golden Solarian…

The room fell into silence as the night gave way to the dawning day, and the first rays of sunlight streamed in through the window. A bandaged figure gazed at another person's missing arm, severed at the elbow, with nothing left but a pitiful stump. However, in his vision, there was something more there, a blue phantom of the missing limb. ‘Is the mana storing what was once his hand?’ As Roland contemplated, his eyes flashed with a blue hue. He employed the same skill he used to predict his…

“Let me do the talking!” “Are you sure?” “Of course, you might not know this but I’ve met our friend here before.” “I don’t think we should be performing the interrogation here, there are too many witnesses.” “What interrogation? Stop it before he gets the wrong idea…” Roland overheard a conversation among five individuals who were heading in his and Elodia's direction. He had only recently regained consciousness following the battle with the Eldritch Horror.…

"Don't allow the unholy beast time to recover! Charge in! For Solaria!" A platoon of knights, their armor adorned with the symbol of the sun, valiantly rushed forward to confront the menacing creature. Behind them, a smaller group of priests chanted sacred incantations and summoned golden spears of radiant light. Each priest extended their hand, directing the beams of divine energy toward the approaching monstrosity. The creature, despite its injuries and being greatly outnumbered, showed no fear and…

“Shit… This is a bad idea…” “But if I don’t do something…” The ceiling above rumbled as the frantic Bernir searched for a suitable weapon for the occasion. The testing facility housed numerous runic devices capable of harming even the most formidable monsters and causing significant damage to city blocks. However, amidst the current chaos, he found it challenging to make a choice. “I don't think this will be much help..." Bernir raised a substantial object known as the runic…

The searing, blazing sun engulfed the imprisoned eldritch horror, and its writhing, monstrous form was consumed by the intense heat. The monster's deafening roars turned into agonized screeches as it desperately attempted to break free, but the combination of the magical prison and the searing flames made it a grueling endeavor. The immense ball of flames illuminated the entire compound, creating a light so intense that it seemed like daytime. Armand, Lobelia, and Aurdhan stood there with their heads…

The horrific incantation continued to flow from Ozrelak's lips, the words an unholy and blasphemous chant, echoed through the whole compound. A sinister aura enveloped the area as the warlock started to transform. His body twisted and contorted, morphing into a nightmarish tumor of flesh and strange appendages. “Ha ha, the shitty Warlock actually did it… I guess we are all fucked now…” A woman's eerie laughter filled the air as her body was lifted off the ground. A dark, sinister tentacle had…

“Shit, why is it those cultists again? Are we cursed or something?” “Stop yapping and move those legs of yours if you want to live!” “Shit… fine…” Amid the tumultuous chaos of the ongoing clashes between high-level individuals, a group of people shuffled about, trying to maintain order amidst the commotion. The center of their attention was a quartet of adventurers who, along with Bernir, Arthur, and Mary, were working tirelessly to assist the guests who had succumbed to the…
