  • by Michael Miller "Well then...I'm off." "Right, be safe out there." "I will, see you later." Ashton kissed Aria in the cheeks before exiting the library. In the real world, within the underground tunnel network, the mobile safehouse appeared silently, it is cloaked so nothing sensed its appearance. Inside the safehouse, Ashton buffed himself with spells he needed to keep himself safe before exiting. He had been stalled for two weeks now and clearly, that can't go on anymore. It's time for him to resume his journey down…
  • by Michael Miller Basic, Intermediate, High-Order, Ascendant, and Law-Level... These are the Spell Rankings according to Humanity's standards. At the Mystic Academy, only High-Order Spells are available for both students and teachers to learn. Even then, they have to go through several tests and get clearances to learn them. Ascendant level spells and above weren't even revealed, much less taught. These spells are considered Humanity's trump cards and only a handful of people are trusted to learn them. The only reason…
  • by Michael Miller Fighting the Nightmare Devourer isn't fun... Ashton wasn't looking forward to it since he already knows it's gonna suck, and he hates it when he's right too. A matured demon, one with four and a half pairs of horns, one that can talk and obviously dead-set on eating him, isn't really something that he'd easily deal with. Despite its sluggish appearance, the Nightmare Devourer is deceptively swift. It can instantly cover hundreds of meters in a blink of an eye. Its main form of attack is by sending…
  • by Michael Miller Gross. Really gross. That'd be the perfect description for the thing he's seeing right now. A demon whose body is like a big, black gelatinous mass that writhes as it crawls the tunnels. It's covered in warts that constantly leak out black and yellow-ish colored goo. It's like a giant maggot with the way how its body pulses with every move. What makes it more disgusting is the fact that, whatever this thing is, has a cannibalistic streak. Ashton could make out several demons being savored inside its…
  • by Michael Miller It's not fun...dealing with Insect-type Demons. p The tunnel network was bigger and airy than what he initially expected. It's smelly too, so much that Ashton had to wear a respirator since he just didn't want to deal with that. A few things in his initial plan didn't work. For starters, insect-type demons are uncannily perceptive, they practically sensed him the moment he stepped foot in the tunnels. He didn't get 'mobbed' per se, since there weren't a lot of insects roaming around this particular…
  • by Michael Miller Ashton didn't find anything useful on the island. He's been exploring these past few days, he never saw anything that would help him reach the base of this landmass faster. This left him with his only option which was to go down the hard way. In hindsight though, the demons he fought at least gave him more battle experience. It also progressed his quest and earned him some loot. Ashton also reached Practitioner lv.5 (5th Refinement). This made him a hell of a lot stronger than before. It feels rather…
  • by Michael Miller Ashton was currently frowning at the sight of the system window in front of him. He made a point of checking his inbox every day in conjunction with his signing-in. Due to this, he also kept an eye out on his quests tab. At first, he thought that they mostly remained the same but turns out that he still missed something... Under the secondary mission that was given to him when he decided that he will return home no matter what, the Discovery Mission was updated... • Discover and Study Hostiles…
  • by Michael Miller Increases the potency of your bloodline. No diminishing effects. Increases one's Fortune permanently Can only be used once. A soul card that can be used once your reached Sorcerer Lv.9 (Peak) Requires 9 more fragments to complete. Ashton did hit a jackpot with these drops. It was unexpected but considering that he kind of did the System a favor, he really lucked out in this. That being said, some things puzzled him. 'System, the Elven Blood Vial will increase the potency of my Fae Bloodline yes?…
  • by Michael Miller "...okay, time to look around." Ashton took notice of his surroundings and as sighed. He just left the ruins again to see what the rest of the island looks like. He's in no rush to dig down. He has time to check if there are alternatives around. Ashton reminded himself to be careful. He wore his combat outfit and cast obscuring spells on himself to make sure that he won't get ambushed by stray demons. Well, it's not like he knows if there are still some around here but it is better to be safe than…
  • by Michael Miller If he's truly being honest, Ashton has no idea where he's going... Sure, he had the rough location of where the ruins of City M ended up on the map and he had the general direction for where the Last Bastion is...that being said, the map they had isn't complete nor reliable. See, there's no way he could just follow one direction and hope for the best. Sooner or later, he'll come up with something that would force him to find another way which would also de-rail him from his destination. And in this…
