  • by Michael Miller "...alright, time to check the things I received from taking those two in." Ashton mused to himself as he gorged on a sandwich. He opened his Inventory to check the description of the items he received. They were two techniques that came in form of a book. *** Type: Killing Technique Effects: Those who are affected by this technique will be judged according to the desire of the caster. There are three outcomes for them: Benevolent End, Harsh Punishment, and Certain Death. Can only affect those who…
  • by Michael Miller Ashton pointedly ignored what he just received from the System due to the surprise he felt. He stared at both the Dragon Vein and Acacia with a confused gaze, seemingly wanting some answers. What was that all about? "Don't look at me, this one has a consciousness of its own." Acacia said in a helpless voice, "I'm just collateral." Ashton rolled his eyes at her and sighed. Well, since the contract was made, he couldn't just remove it. He might as well see what he's working with here. Name: Auspicious…
  • by Michael Miller -- If you, my dear readers, hadn't been living under a rock this whole time, then you would know that the past few days had been especially hectic and dangerous inside the Last Bastion. A terrorist group who called themselves the Cult of the Skydemon is a group of traitors who sided and worshipped the demons, sacrificing their very own kind to create replicas of said Skydemons to plunge the world into chaos. As well all know, Demons are horrible creatures. They are strong and spread a deadly corruption…
  • by Michael Miller Gaia's home was more than just a lake surrounded by a thick fog... In truth, this same lake was the very first lake that was naturally formed with Spiritual Energy way back then. It is this very lake that springs forth astonishing life energy within this little valley, creating this tiny yet peaceful place where anyone could relax and feel their souls cleansed from all troubles. Gaia chose to stay here because she likes it here, at the same time, she's also guarding this place since raw Spiritual Energy…
  • by Michael Miller 'System, use the Doppelganger please.' Ashton watched as lights converged in front of him, coagulating into a single mass that formed an approximation of a man. A little bit later, the light transformed completely and turned into a mirror image of himself. It was bizarre for Ashton. Having a Doppelganger felt like he stood in front of a mirror and then all of a sudden, his reflection greeted him. A bit freaky but also cool. His Doppelganger was expressionless. Just from a single glance, anyone who…
  • by Michael Miller The first rays of dawn shone inside their room, gradually rousing Ashton's consciousness awake. Eye fluttering to the brightness around him, he frowned and yawned, stretching his arms only to feel resistance on his arm. Well, to be more specific, it's actually a weight that's pressed down on his right arm, preventing him from stretching it. One by one, his senses returned to him, and memories of what happened last night also returned as well. Ashton groaned softly from the stimulating memories, he…
  • by Michael Miller Of the three growth paths available for Jerry, Ashton liked the idea of him being a Task Manager. Based on what he read from the System's description, Task Managers are linked to the System, they do possess some form of individuality but ultimately they are extremely loyal to the System's Host, which is him of course. Don't misunderstand, Ashton isn't doubting Jerry's loyalty. The little helper has been with him through thick and thin so there's not even a shadow of doubt in his mind about Jerry's…
  • by Michael Miller Ashton was excited for today... He hasn't slept at all but he's still energetic, well at this point in his life, especially with his current cultivation rank, losing a night of sleep isn't a big deal at all. Plus, there is a legitimate reason for him to look forward to this moment. After a month of being offline, the System's overhaul was about to be done. Ashton had no idea of what this had in store for him but he was still looking forward to it. To make sure that he wouldn't get disturbed, he told…
  • by Michael Miller A sword, a pair of round shields, and a bow. This was what Aria created from the purified remains of the Skydemons just now using an unfamiliar forging technique. The sword was three feet long. It looked like an ordinary sword save for the red groove in the middle of the blade. It gleamed sharply and looked weighty. The pair of round shields were small, there was a skull in the middle of each one and they were slightly curved. As for the bow, its arms looked like it was made out of a spine, which is…
  • by Michael Miller Roughly three weeks passed since Ashton returned to Last Bastion, and ever since then some kind of normalcy returned to him. He was able to relax and return to his roots, briefly setting his goals aside as he gathered more knowledge. His friends had been of great help to him during these past few weeks. They were constantly there and made it easier for him to adjust back to society. Sure there were some hindrances here and there due to them being adults now and having responsibilities but overall, it's…
