The necrotic god decided to respond conservatively. He continued to attack my avatar directly despite its endless regeneration, while he sent his armies to the forest Seldanna was in the process of creating. I didn’t intervene, letting him commit his army there, happy that I could shift my attention to them and steal their divine Spark immediately. Hundreds of demigod-class undead were impressive, but not enough to take down Seldanna’s avatar. Though, once they mixed with the zombie army and…

The battle of two dragons raged at the dark skies of the dead land, while Seldanna led our invincible treant army with great efficiency, leveraging their inherent advantage over the disposable zombies in great efficiency as she destroyed them. Without the liches and death knights to support to army, she was even able to focus on transforming our breach point into a lush, raging forest, though this time, it didn’t look like her usual beautiful, calm forests, but a raging chaotic piece filled with thorns…

“Wow, this is…” Seldanna’s avatar gasped as she took the view in. Her shock was understandable. The plane was filled with undead as far as the eye could see. I had often referred to the undead as endless, but only now, I realized just how inadequate that description was. I hadn’t dared to explore the plane directly, afraid of being caught and ruining the surprise. Looking at their numbers, I was glad that I didn’t try to go with the alternative of letting the planes collide and defend the…

“That bastards. To think that they are about to attack my domain...” Seldanna started before her words turned into a chain of curses, some I had never heard before. I didn’t blame her. Realizing that she was just weeks away from a deadly invasion was a nasty realization. Pity it was just an avatar of hers and not her real body, preventing me from helping her stress in a more direct manner. We had spent almost a full day together without stopping, but it had been barely enough to quench our…

I wanted to punish the crown prince for daring to capture my sexy angel. I even have several ways to deliver such punishment. But, as I dug a tunnel underneath the capital — easily bypassing the magical defenses built to prevent such a problem — to bring her to the safehouse I had established for emergencies, unable to teleport due to her dangerous state, I ignored that desire. At this point, revenge wasn’t as important as making sure her problems wouldn’t suddenly explode. The prince was not…

To my surprise, the guild leader didn’t stay at the outpost. Instead, he went to the vault, and placed the spear into the vault. No, not the spear, I corrected myself as I used the vault wards to check the integrity of the weapon, and realized that it was a replica. Amusingly, it was the same replica I had used to trick the spies of the second prince. An amusing trickery, but it didn’t answer why he was in such a hurry. Especially since he disguised himself as a guard once he went to his room before…

On the sixth day of my — extremely unsuccessful — imprisonment, the men of the second prince finally made a move. They were patient … a bit too much, even, as it was two days since I agreed to the offer of the guild leader and started working on repairing the spear. Well, to be more accurate, I was looking like I was trying to repair. With my full abilities and previous experience, it would take minutes for me to properly repair it, and a few days to improve the design significantly. Storing Divine…

“How’s being a prisoner going,” Helga asked the moment I teleported back to our little hidden spot, once again bringing a dozen prospective candidates with me for Helga’s special classes. “Not bad,” I answered with a chuckle. It was the third day of my imprisonment, and they were yet to allow me to come into contact with the Spear, still trying to come to a decision about my loyalty. Naturally, it took me about fifteen minutes after the guild blacksmith had left to take control of the whole…

I considered saying nothing for a moment, letting the man revel in his smugness. Unfortunately, that would show him that all the production he had gone through to impress me had been for nothing. And, if he realized that, he might not reveal why he had gone through all that trouble. Of course, I couldn’t just start begging for forgiveness or do something equally absurd. After all, I was supposed to be a brave soul that challenged the guild directly. “It seems that I should have joined the guild,” I…

The party had lasted until the first lights of the morning, with every single noble getting completely hammered with the magically reinforced wine that was served without a stop. Of course, not one to miss an opportunity, I used that Charisma trick to sell the idea of expanding Silver Spires by allowing peasants to attend. Of course, some believed that it would help them profit by getting more mages, while others believed that such a trick would support their houses. Some even believed it was an attack…
