The first thought Cynrik had upon opening his eyes and seeing the ceiling of their familiar bedroom was, Oh shit, 1g makes me feel weightless. The next moment before he could even process his next thought, he was assaulted on all sides by an intense wave of nauseating pain. as Cynrik was writhing in pain on his bed, across the room, Brance was experiencing the same thing. Months of training and growth were being forcefully merged with their bodies. All of the pain, and exhaustion of 90 days in the…

Explosions rapidly echoed throughout the cosmic expanse, known as the Hyperbolic Time Chamber, as pitiful screams of pain came from a handful of creatures that were being peppered with hundreds of baseball-sized black fireballs. In the last three months, Cynrik and Brance had kept to their insane training schedule that would cause even veteran combat experts to cringe in horror. The two young children would wake up after only sleeping four hours and spend the remaining 20 hours savagely abusing their…

Even though Cynrik was enraged, he still had the common sense to start casting skills. “Haste,” his first choice, was to activate his new skill for his Wind Affinity. -Tier 0 Wind Affinity Skill- -Haste – increases the user’s Agility by 15 points for 3 minutes.- -Cost 50 Mana Points- Green whisps of Mana manifested around Cynrik’s body as his movement speed nearly doubled. But, that wasn’t all, “Shadow Veil” the next skill he activated was the skill he’d shown Brance not long after he…

With the pylon dropped, Cynrik took a deep breath before walking forward into the 2g Zone. When his foot crossed the invisible thresh hold, two notifications trigged simultaneously along with the sudden increase in force on his body. – Current Gravity = 2g – -Hosts will have a threefold increase in Affinity, Codex, and Circuit training.- Cynrik’s face scrunched up with his eyes closed as he stood in place while attempting to regulate his breathing. Brance stood still to his right, focusing on the…

“First and foremost, let’s check out the logistic storage. Based on its name alone, we should be able to find something helpful in keeping us alive. It’s not like we can sense people outside the door like in the show, so we need a way to get back, aside from dying, that is,” resting his right palm on the hilt of his hip sheathed sword Cynrik left his brother at the table and walked over to the right side storage area. When he got to the doorway, his eyes scanned the room with Inspect activated,…

“IT’S THE HYPERBOLIC TIME CHAMBER!!!” Brance and Cynrik screamed in unison. Then, unable to contain their excitement any longer, the brothers dashed forward into the small living area of the facility. Although the two knew what to expect, they were still amazed by the sheer vastness the HBTC held. Aside from the island-like living area, which spanned roughly a hundred square feet, all the two could see was a never-ending expanse of white astral nothingness. The Rest Area was precisely as they…

For the next couple of days, life went on normally. With the ability to use their cultivation skills on cooldown and both boys seemingly coming to a standstill in their training, boredom slowly seeped in. With both their parents allowing them to “self-train,” Cynrik and Brance found themselves prepping a sparring session in the backyard of their humble home, unsupervised. Cinyah and Rikard had gone off to a newly opened Red Egress, leaving the two at home alone, which caused Cinyah a great deal of…

Later that night, Cynrik handed over the Cultivation technique he had bought the day before for Brance. Upon hearing the cost and seeing how old the booklet was, Brance was quite literally treating it like a small animal that could be easily broken if handled wrong, while Cynrik just watched in utter disgust. All of this was quickly wiped away when it was time to learn their new skills, and their excitement was brimming as they started reading their booklets. It didn’t take long for both of them to…

A couple of hours later, the typical alarm clock named Cinyah roused the boys from their land of slumber. Unfortunately, while Brance had seemingly gotten a good night’s rest after the events several hours prior, the dark bags under Cynrik’s eyes signified that he didn’t. Instead of jumping out of bed like he regularly did, still slumped in the depression caused by his bankruptcy in the RWT, Cynrik just pulled his blanket over his head and faced the wall. Taking notice of his older brother’s…

“Before we negotiate to price for the Affinity orbs, the main item I’m looking for is a Mana Regeneration Technique; aside from that, I’m in the market for Grade 0 short swords and shields,” Cynrik had done his research on weapons. Vinestra’s weapons were on a Grade scale; each Grade corresponded with a person’s level. Grade 0 was meant for use by anyone between levels 1-10, and the higher someone’s level, the higher the Grade of weapon they could use. Weapons further broke down into…
