Finished with his strategy briefing, Cynrik turned and faced the residential area half a kilometer away. Unfortunately, he had failed to tell Brance his reasoning behind allowing Montu’s transformation to complete itself. While it may seem like a good idea to rush in and kick the lizard while it was down, Cynrik was absolutely against this idea. What Brance saw as a simple hazy mirage, Cynrik knew the truth behind its real meaning. The effect wasn’t given off by heat but instead by a combination of…

(BONUS CHAPTER AS PROMISED) “Benny,” Cynrik looked away from the little girl, who was humming a light tune to herself and towards her older brother. “You need to be prepared; you’ll be playing a crucial part in the plan.” These words struck Benny like a ten-ton mallet to the head. From the time the party stepped foot in this Egress, Benny had played a relatively small part in Cynrik’s plans, except creating the steam cloud. However, Cynrik had just stated casually that he expected Benny to…

Cynrik sighed heavily as he stared at the system panel floating half a foot in front of his face. It was taking every ounce of willpower he could muster to not dump all his XP into the Main Level and cap himself. Sitting a few meters away, Brance’s fingers were already typing away as he adjusted his Stats and finalized everything. He wouldn’t fall to the temptation of his XP like Cynrik was fighting against. Brance was capable of understanding the big picture, and although Cynrik’s plan was solid,…

Jumping off the boulder he was standing on to get a view of the whole battlefield, Cynrik informed his brother. Brance responded while bashing in the head of a Kobold, malforming its skull and causing brain matter and blood to leak out its ears. Cynrik rolled his head round in a circle as he spoke in a pouting tone. The entire time he was bantering with Cynrik, Brance never stopped moving. Even though he was surrounded on all sides and forced to dodge incoming spears and sword slashes, Brance was…

“Did you just call me a Donkey?” Tilting his head to the side, Brance couldn’t help but question his older brother’s choice of words. “What of it, you idiot sandwich?” Crossing his arms and snorting, Cynrik said the first retort he could come up with. “AH, so you’re just gunna use Ramsey quotes on me, got it.” “Shut up, stay on topic.” Fighting the urge to smack Brance, Cynrik tried pulling the conversation back onto the plan. “Che, you started it.” “ANYWAY! 46 Lizzys, and…

Leaving the checking of Gabby and Benny’s Stats to his older brother, Brance floated off a few feet away from the group with his mind and heart in turmoil. As someone who on Earth could have been called a good God-fearing, Christian man, the tale Cynrik had dropped on him seemingly out of nowhere shook Brance to his core. ‘Tobs…is what my brother told me true?’ -Everything Host Cynrik informed you of is the truth; he has, however, added his own speculation in some parts. Even so, there were no…

Cynrik’s face went blank as he heard this, and his body went limp in defeat, but he quickly recovered and sat up straight once again. His eyes fell on the two Sanford siblings. At this moment, both of them were aimlessly looking off into the distance with unfocused eyes, a clear sign that they were utterly engrossed in their Status windows. “Remember you two, once you increase your Class, dump all remaining XP into your Main Level; after that, I want you both to evenly distribute any stat points into…

The Shadow Realm was an eerie place for ordinary people. The lack of ambient sounds, distinct smells, and color could unnerve just about anyone if left exposed to it for extended periods. But for Cynrik, he had never felt more at home. Thanks to his Dark Affinity, he felt an abnormal level of comfort every time he came here. While Brance felt exceedingly uncomfortable the longer he spent in the Shadow Realm. Light and Dark, as polar opposites, Brance felt itchy the longer he hovered in the Realm devoid of…

Feeling the onset of the familiar weightless sensations presented by the Shadow Realm allowed the party to catch their breath after the intense previous predicament. Cynrik was the first to move after touching down on a shadow pillar by shrugging Gabby off his shoulder and releasing Benny from under his armpit. His actions caused the little girl to yelp in fear as she began floating away in the zero-g environment. Lastly, Cynrik released his grip on Brance’s shoulder and hovered in place while sitting…
