Well, this had gone to shit - and that meant that everything was going according to plan for me. Adventurers were attacking the shity little clearing that the I was running with had been calling a camp. The grunts were yelling and scrambling for their weapons, sometimes screaming when the struck them. Can’t blame them for that part, it takes a peculiar kind of sadist to become an after all. The Boss was trying to pull the group into some semblance of order. It wasn’t hard to…-

Our next mission was to escort some merchants to a city in the north, chosen so that Ray and I could meet with a proper leatherworker and get a harness, saddle, and maybe even some proper barding! I hadn’t actually known what barding was until it was explained to me, but I was not about to turn down armor! Well, some very light and limited armor anyways. My best traits were my toxicity and my flight, both of which would be actively hindered by heavy armor that covered my entire body.…

“No one knows,” mom said with a smile. “Perhaps only Lady Alet herself knows for certain, but she has never answered anyone who has asked.” “I thought I had memorized all the Gods,” I had been proud of that. There were a lot of Gods and Goddesses, so it had been hard work! “But no one told me about The First One!” “That is because we don’t worship them - no one does.” “They sound mean anyway,” I announced. Void was scary, but stealing its blood was…

“So what are my options for Juvenile Evolutions anyway?” I asked, having realized that just following Ylma’s advice - as well meaning as I believed it to be - might not be the best idea. “Presuming only a single horizontal Evolution beforehand in the Young stage.” I was, currently, sprawled out on the roof of the inn as Rauvin, Chaurl, Tamlin and Karlin were handling a quest inside of town. In what was certainly the most egregious oversight ever to occur in any world, the buildings…

If there is one thing I have learned, it was that the world was hateful. That good will be met with evil and kindness with cruelty. Mercy is the luxury of the strong and no one is strong enough to be able to afford it indefinitely. “She’s running that way!” A child yelled with malicious glee as he picked up another stone. “In the alley, get her! Get her!” Weakness is not pitied, or even ignored - it is seen as an invitation to take.…

So it turns out that just as physics still kicks ass even in a world with a system and magic, biology also still applies. It is a bit bent out of shape compared to what I used to know, but it isn’t gone. Which is why, despite having the racial ability , I could still drown. Admittedly, I didn’t drown I probably would never know and I had more important things to focus on right now, like my magical battle against Ylma. A half naked Ylma - who had taken off some of her…

I was ploughing one of our fields, guiding the oxen and using my ability, , to ease the difficulty. I was - like many a young man just reaching adulthood in the area - bored and unsatisfied with my work. I didn’t want to be a my whole life like my dad was. No, I wanted to go to faraway places and see new things; I wanted to be an Adventurer! Neither dad nor mom took my goal seriously, barely even acknowledging me when I brought it up! I had learned the Spear Skill practicing with a…

It was very strange not to be in the air, but my part in the strategy was even more strange. I had suggested just letting me poison the lot of them, but it turned out that Goblins also had the racial ability. While I personally didn’t see that as too much of a problem so long as I used a toxin that worked on skin contact or something, Rauvin said that depending on how effective the poison was they would probably out breed it. Frankly, that sounded a bit ludicrous to me, but what do…

Timothy reflected on how surprisingly easy it was to get used to sharing your head with the ancient ghost of a famous . He would have thought that it wouldn’t be the kind of thing a person could go about their day and just be fine with, but here he was! It helped that Sut was rather quiet and seemed content to observe. According to the that was rather normal for a well-adjusted spirit. He had told Timothy that while he was attaching Sut to Timothy’s soul, “like stapling two pieces of…

The problem with Nuave - the country I was apparently located in - was that it was a very new country. This continent, Varrskya, had only been discover a couple centuries ago and powerful, high Level, but politically restricted Sapients and Demihumans had rushed to the continent to break free of old power structures and start their own kingdoms. It had, as anyone could obviously guess, been a bloodbath. It was also mostly irrelevant, except that these new kingdoms were only resisted by…
