I bit my lip, turning on my intercom, “Are you serious? Does everybody know my identity?” Torix shrugged, “I didn’t think you would be hidden forever anyways. Considering our overall fighting potential as a group, we don’t have much to worry about.” I took a mental note of this. The next several hundred levels I gained would be invested into perception. Having everyone see through me wasn’t what I wanted here. With that in mind, I turned off my intercom and sighed, “So you know who…-

I brushed the guy’s hand off my shoulder, turning towards him, “So you’re telling me you speak for the entire empire?” The lanky green alien looked away from me, looking around at the guards, “Well, uhm, no. Not exactly.” I waved my hand in a circle as I shook my head, “Then you’re talking for someone. Who is it?” The lanky alien coughed into his hand, caught off guard. He must have expected the whole empire shtick to rattle me more than it did. “I speak for, ahem, for…

The beast was a living mess. Its broad wings, once beautiful, flapped with holes throughout them. Pieces of its skull showed, patches of its skin missing. The pollution ran out of its mouth, its needle teeth still white despite years of decay. As the slop fell from its form, the beast revealed black skin littered with yellow patterns. It matched the surface of a poisonous dart frog with the same flowing patterns of color. Despite the decomposition, I could tell this was once a noble creature. Why? It…

A spark of heated, red plasma melted through my gray armor. It left no mark on my actual skin beneath it. The gray goblin pulled at me, thrusting a palm at my elbow joint. He couldn’t budge me. I glanced down, seeing the plasma. If someone peeked through the whole, they might figure out my identity. That was a much more pressing concern than this guy’s attacks. With a flick of my wrist and a clasp of my hand, I pulled the plasma off. I crushed my gray suit over the gap at the same time, keeping me…

The espen gawked at me. It made some sense. I stood five feet taller than her, a titan in her eyes. After leaving the shop, I vowed to shrink myself some with my mass manipulation skill. This height was doing me no favors at the moment. The espen mumbled with a fairy voice, “Who are you?” She almost hissed her words. I say she since the espen looked feminine. She had a familiar figure, kind of like Althea. Naturally not as good, but you get the point. The differences stacked up from there…

I breathed in, trying out the new air. The smell of oil and smog filled my lungs. A gray light leaked in from cracks in the walls. A muggy, thick atmosphere crept its way in. Rain pattered against the roof of the room we were still in. Everything smelled sterile, almost like a hospital. I turned to Torix, “Where did you warp us on Giess?” He frowned, “Somewhere I knew would be uninhabited.” I walked forward, putting my hand on the doorway. I pushed the wall of dirt. It crumbled to dust…

An awkward atmosphere haunted the group on the walk back. I caused it. After a few minutes, we reached the elevator. As we funneled up, Kessiah spread out her arms, “So…what are you guys wanting to do once we get to Giess?” Torix jumped into the conversation, eager to get rid of the malaise, “I’ve been meaning to brush up on my alchemy. As diverse as Earth is, it lacks basic ingredients for recipes or rituals.” I raised an eyebrow, “I thought we were going to just run in, get the…

A sapphire flame suffused the metal dome. My vision dimmed. My armor cracked, the shell surrounding us holding in the explosion. Fragments of my armor fell down. Sensing damage, the metal shell around me rushed back onto my charred skin. Charred might be the wrong word. The flames left a deep cooling sensation after the initial, brilliant flash of heat. It was like someone injected liquid nitrogen into my blood. The bits of Althea froze in burning piles around me. I checked out my health, 1/5th of it…

No point in getting ahead of myself though. Same as always, I charged the mana. After a few minutes, I looked at my status, After obtaining the skill, the intense discomfort from charging lessened. I raised a hand, aiming at a cluster of trees. I let the mana go, a singularity forming. It pulled in a few trees before detonating. It pulled inward for far less time than the previous singularity in the fourth floor. After creating several more explosions, I learned a few tricks. For starters, the…

Amara lifted her palms towards me, her eyes narrowed, “You imbecile…You let him live?” I shook my head, “Oh, hell no. We got him. I meant whoops at the explosion.” She looked around at the destruction, “You did all this?” I shrugged, “Yawm gave experience. What else can I say.” Amara stood up, looking at my friends. I gestured a hand at Althea, “This is my girlfriend, Althea. The birdman is Hod. He means well I guess. The lich is Torix. He’s a scholar who enjoys teaching.…
