Torix stepped back, “Let’s see if your actions speak as loudly as your words.” The monster squirmed out. A ball of writhing limbs and human teeth, the abomination swelled towards me. From its sides, tentacles shot out, hungry and wanting. They launched like lightning and thunder. I ran forward, making them miss. They stabbed into the stone beneath me, where no runes lingered. As the eyeball darted above me, a green blob plopped out of the portal. It slapped the floor with a wet thud. Meeting…-

I gasped, “Could you let me down?” He tilted his head, “I shall whenever you cease that annoying aura of yours, whatever it is.” My eyes widened, and I shut Oppression down. He waved a hand, and I fell, collapsing to my knees. Like tiny eyes, the lich squinted his glowing fireballs. He kept his gaze steady, his eyes piercing. I couldn’t hold eye contact, but his glare burrowed into the back of my head regardless. Finally looking away, Torix pulled an ancient tome from his robes and…

The magically imbued scavenger shot out a bolt of violet lightning at me. Dipping behind the patch of vines, the lightning sunk into the greenery. Portions of the foliage disintegrated, patchy holes left of it. The other scavenger sprinted towards me, not even unsheathing his blade. The claw happy one snarled, “You have to work on your aim.” The magic in the purple skeptile’s hand shook with energy, “You’re getting in the way. We have to kill this thing before that necromancer finds…

Stacy crossed her arms and deadpanned, “Really? Let’s hear it then.” David looked around with confidence, “So here’s what we’ll do. We can reanimate the golems and then set them off after the Sentinel. While the Sentinel’s distracted, we’ll sneak past the gateway.” An awkward silence passed over us before Stacy and I peered at each other. I raised my hand, “David…Do you know how to reanimate golems?” David frowned, “Well, uh…No.” Stacy facepalmed, “And how long…

My eyes snapped open, and I pulled myself upright. Bats swarmed in every direction, though they kept their distance. At this point, I barely received experience from killing them. I smiled at the thought. Oh how the times had changed. I turned Oppression off. I’d be destroying them in mass but after they cleared out the bugs. With that handled, I sat up and glanced at my notifications. The first one already brought a childish grin to my lips. I balled up my fists then laughed aloud, “I did…

I glanced up, my brow rising, “Ah, yeah. Baldag-Ruhl didn’t so much as flinch. The insects piled up around me, and Baldag-Ruhl hissed out his words, “Who do you believe granted you that ability, little lamb?” I blinked, raising my hands, “What?” “I know of the system. I am the reason you warped here in place of that…Tutorial as you called it. I did more. I gave you that aura of yours as well. It cannot faze me in the slightest.” Insects swelled around me. I stomped…

I turned off agony while eyeing the bugs, “If you try anything, I’ll use that aura to kill these insects. And trust me, it’s plenty strong enough to kill some bugs.” Baldag-Ruhl laughed, “Ha, ha, hah. I’m here to offer you something that drips with temptation. A deal of sorts that will burrow into your mind and make it new.” I kept my guard up, “I’m listening.” The mound of bugs threaded down from the ceiling, a few spiders creating a silken thread for them to reach the ground.…

After killing a few more nearby bats, we all traveled forward. Both Stacy and David zombied it out in the morning, each of them exhausted still. It gave me time to access my status and check it out. I needed thirty seven more points to complete the Determinator tree. Any more willpower and endurance was appreciated since both attributes were vital for my build. So much so, I’d be investing in some willpower perks after the strength ones. With that in mind, I shadow boxed while we walked. At first,…

I cleaned the blood off my face before stepping up and offering David a hand. He reached up, but his hand shook a bit, likely from the bat. They finished packing up, and when we started to leave, an awkward silence passed over us. When I pulled my glowing bags of water out of my backpack, Stacy frowned, “Wow. You weren’t kidding about being stuck here, huh?” David snickered under his breath before I frowned at him, “What’s so funny?” “Nothing man, it just looks ridiculous.” David…

Another mind crawled towards mine, feeble and fleeting. Jerking my hands back, I gripped my palm that touched the mana. This blot of mana was alive. Not giving me time to think, the BloodHollow Golem crashed through the field of mana before slamming formed fists at me. I rolled sideways, bits of stone pattering on my skin. I charged forward and smashed a blow into its thigh boulder. A powder dusted off my fist before the golem slammed its fist into my shoulder. Bone cracked. My vision blurred. I flopped…
