"Then I take it you all want to serve under the Lighted One's rule?" Pagan asked, to which all the shrooms began nodding their heads. Asclepius was thoroughly surprised. Of course, she could understand that Pagan must've seemed like some sort of incomprehensibly powerful being, but they hadn't even put up that much of a fight. "Well, not what I was planning, but this will work," she said, climbing down from the tree. Currently close to 400 shrooms stood silently, waiting to hear what their fate would…-

"Do you really want to throw away your only chance at ascending to another tier? At standing among the greatest, merely because you would not take a few moments to listen?" Asclepius asked, trying to tempt the old man. She could feel Pagan shaking with excitement, if the old man tried anything he would have full right to destroy everything. And Asclepius was starting to believe that this was the only way Pagan wanted things to pan out. "I want to see this elder for myself then. The one who claims to be…

*** "I think this is it," Asclepius whispered, staring at a group of large mushroom-shaped towers, clustered under a mushroom-like tree. The mushroom towers were about 1.5 meters tall, and apart from a few odd openings they looked near identical to normal mushrooms. These towers were spread across quite a distance, though one wouldn't be able to discern them from the rest of the mushroom-esque vegetation in this section of the forest. "Aren't those just plants?" Pagan asked, wondering why they were…

Over the course of the session Lucius had absorbed about 6.6 million helios, of which only 1 million went into growth. He had to save 2 million Helios for both Alpha and Hannibal's cruxes. And after that, he had to take into account the upcoming cost of evolving all the leaflings, which would amount to about 3.5 million, with an additional 35 million for the sobriquets. He also wanted to finish the milestone quest as soon as possible, as there was a chance that the rewards would help increase the rate of…

"Gather everyone in front of the main cottage, we'll be having a session in a minute," Lucius ordered. It was mid-afternoon, so there was still quite some time available to hold a session, however, Lucius had other things to do and wanted to get this out of the way quickly. "Yes, Captain," Alpha replied, before shouting out orders. Lucius began walking towards the cottage that housed Ghost's pod, water and meat in hand. "So will I be having a session along with everyone else?" Asclepius asked,…

The creatures halted for a moment, as if sizing Lucius up. They began moving very slowly, trying to surround him, though Lucius kept moving to make sure that that wouldn't be possible. If not for the fact that he couldn't see them clearly, he would've attacked already. He decided to take this time to observe them, observe their movements and find out how they attacked. Giving up on surrounding him, the creatures moved to pounce on him in unison. ~Solar burst,~ Lucius chanted, making sure to decrease its…

The trail led the group deeper into the forest, going even past the water springs. Once again, the vegetation around them slowly began to change in appearance, until eventually, they were in a section of the forest even more alien than the one prior. In this section the trees, if they could even still be called that, had been reduced to the width of soda cans. What should've been bark, was now a weird shimmering coating, that seemed to change color depending on what angle it was being viewed from. The…

~The leaflings need to start pulling their own weight as soon as possible. If that thing continues to do as it pleases, the decay might eventually spread deeper into the forest,~ Lucius thought to himself, before grabbing Hannibal and Alpha with his tail, and galloping towards the camp. On his way there, he pondered over things more carefully. Could he and that creature be linked somehow? It was far-fetched, but he had felt abnormal levels of hostility towards the creature's energy. Like magnets…

~Crap,~ Lucius thought to himself, sensing that a large hoard of creatures were slowly approaching the area. He quickly grabbed Hannibal and Alpha with his tail, before scaling up a nearby tree. "Keep quiet," he ordered, before making sure that he was properly hidden behind the decayed tree's yellowed leaves. After a few moments, the sound of hundreds of tiny footsteps could be heard just a small distance away. It was quite dark since the moonlight just barely made its way to the forest floor, however,…

"Oi, it's been a while, huh?" Lucius said after a moment of awkward silence. "Exipor?" the insectoid replied, before stepping a little closer. "Exipor!" it shouted a moment after, running around Lucius like an excited puppy. "Yeah, yeah I missed you too. It seems you're doing well, you even gained a bit of weight," Lucius commented, seeing that its belly was full. "Exikilim deris kelix," it replied. Lucius was really tempted to buy the encyclopedia to understand exactly what it was trying to say. But…
