To serve Alet was to see the Truth in all things. Although I lack Her sight and so it takes me time to pierce every barrier, eventually they always fall. To see the world with Her blessing is to see the workings of existence, to look at a grain of sand and see the parts that make up the parts that make it up. To see its long history and the many paths of its future. of Alet were trained with a grain of sand inside the Empty Room at Alet’s main temple. To survive, you had to be able to…-

“Wait a second before you head off to meet your team.” The Guild Master Ivano asked me to talk to him after the crowd dispersed, and anything that this man asks is basically a command from heaven. Worse even, because Ivano was far more likely to smite you than the Gods were. Evergold was a gold mining town sitting on what might very well be the largest and richest gold vein in the entire world. That meant that a lot of people would want to steal that gold for themselves, but it also meant…

I had no clue what anyone around me was saying, but it did look like I wasn’t about to be attacked. Sure, I wasn’t particularly careful with my life - although I blame a lot of that on my monster instincts - but I would rather not die so long as not dying was an option. I would risk my life for another, but that was just good economics, wasn’t it? They had one life; I had many lives. Ergo, their life is worth more than mine. ...Yeah, no. Calling my life worthless in comparison…

“-just didn’t think we would be traipsing up and down hill sides to hunt toads of all things!” Ylma was complaining as she blasted another Juvenile Boreal Toad away. “These things are hardly even a threat, so what is the point?” “They pay in gold,” the normally quiet Karlin growled out as he skewered one of the smaller Hatchlings on his sword. “That is the only point that matters.” “Well of course they pay in gold, Evergold is a “If it helps…

There was something incredibly hypnotizing about a giant snapping turtle crossed with a tentacle monster eating a buffalo creature whole. I mean, it was absolutely horrifying to see - I hadn’t even known that a buffalo I guess, in a lot of ways, that it isn’t anything I need to worry about. I can, after all, fly now and it wasn’t able to get through the gorge into my valley. However, I was starting to get the feeling that this entire world was just a patchwork of powerful monster’s…

Fall was starting, and it had come as a bit of a shock. I hadn’t had to live through a real winter since my second life, my life as Hemere had mild winters at most. I haven’t seen snow in nearly two decades at this point… Of course, I haven’t seen snow here yet either, but preparation would be vitally important. I would need to stockpile wood and food, and neither of those were easy for me. Gathering food was easy, but preserving it would be a challenge. Unfortunately, I just didn’t…

Sorry little sibling, but I need your experience. “ ” I worked hard for this one, so hit me with it! Let’s see what my effort over the past month has gained me! Evolution Species: The list went on for quite a while after that. Most of it was not particularly interesting, with a lot of commons and uncommons that either lacked decent stats or were so specialised that they weren’t worth it. There were a good amount of rares and…

“ My efforts in exploration were not particularly rewarding. Oh sure, I got the Drawing Skill and the Cartography Skill, and those were good. [ [ However, it was soon becoming apparent that I was living in a bowl. Even with my Leveling and the bonuses from my Skills, I have a pretty terrible Perception. When you throw in the fact that there are trees and shrubs all around and add to that the fact that I am small and so my point of…

I, of course, squashed my wanderlust as best I could immediately. It helped that it wasn’t a very strong instinct, but I was glad that my Willpower was growing enough for me to get something of a hold of myself. Just barely, anyway. I doubted I’d be able to stop myself from wandering off for all that long. However, there were really obvious things that I just hadn’t done. My Analysis was probably so low because I have barely even examined my menu. It occurred to me that I barely had any…

In the morning, I had two problems. The first was my health, although I had restored a fair bit last night. (lesser) was a lot better than it sounded just from the name. The actual Skill read: “ [ I heal more than However, speaking of the dead, my second problem was that I had ninety-two dead Boreal Toads lying around. What the hell was I supposed to do with them? Obviously, I couldn’t leave them where they were. Aside from the fact that it would be…
