I gave a small chuckle as I watched the scene of Tsubaki guarding the door of the Sky Citadel. Indeed, I had asked her not to prevent people from claiming this base for the event. But, I was somewhat glad that I hadn’t told her to completely ignore this citadel. This was a good chance for her to get recognition with the upper echelon of players as more than just the Keeper’s Servant. Here, she was a player as well. Just one with a rather intense drive to grow in personal strength, and knowledge of how…-

While Ryone was working on her ideas for her new world, I decided to take it easy and relax for a few days. Between the Watcher that was still growing, Legion conquering the Citadel, or her preparations, that gave me some time before everything came together. _______________________________________________________________ Crystal was breathing heavily as she walked with her party, her staff tapping against the floor with every step. For three days, they had spent almost their entire time within the…

Naturally, conquering the Sky Citadel would be no easy feat, even for the most elite team in the game. When it came to fighting chaos beasts, they could be seen as something of an expert, but their resources and abilities only went so far. For instance, it was fairly easy for them to find the library, as it was close to the entrance. However, how were they meant to find the hidden control room at the heart of the citadel? For hours, the group fought, clearing room after room. Every time they hit a…

I was actually quite surprised when I focused on connecting to the two energy types, feeling the differences between them and what I was used to. It was these changes that made me glad that I had chosen to do this, instead of simply granting myself the skills. The most significant change came with spiritual energy. On Earth, spiritual energy was gaseous, misty. It was hard to properly grasp without the proper techniques. However, once you knew the techniques, it became possible to perform even the most…

For most groups, a dungeon full of chaos beasts would require weeks of planning and testing in order to properly conquer it. More if the configuration of the monsters changed randomly over time, as was common in dungeons to prevent the appearance of detailed strategy guides that could let even a beginner walk through a high level area. However, Legion was different. As they had displayed in their fight against the Mad King, they had different equipment sets to counter different elemental affinities. As…

“Thought you might not show up.” Leon teased when he saw the elven mage appearing in front of him. She was dressed in a splendid silver dress, and shot him a glare that only seemed to make him chuckle. “Relax, Crystal. Put your game face on. We do this, and we might just make history.” When she heard that, the elven woman hesitated, before nodding and taking a deep breath. “What’s our status?” “Logain is grabbing the rest of the crew, and letting Pepper know that we’re heading…

Once I was fully logged into the game, I made a quick check to see how many people were online, not surprised to find that the guild was still rather active. Nearly a quarter of the guild’s players were online, which was quite high for a period when there wasn’t an active, ongoing event. What did surprise me was that I had not been immediately swarmed with messages the moment I logged on. Did I have messages waiting to be read? Yes, naturally. However, that was somewhat expected. Once again, I had…

As soon as the Watcher got to work, I could feel it looking through the link that I had set up. I had been careful to make sure not to connect the link with my own awareness, after the flood of information I had received from just looking through a handful of mirrors. For the Watcher, though, that was not an issue. It was able to choose how many and which mirrors it wanted to observe. Now, of course I was aware that there was a somewhat limited scope on where most people placed their mirrors. I…

When I reappeared, I was already back within my own room in the Sky Citadel. The thought of punishing those who had their eyes on my treasure did occur to me, but what was the point of that? Needlessly exposing my strength, leaving potential clues behind for others? It was far easier for someone to rationalize a teleportation ability, as those were commonplace among the four worlds. For now, I wanted to focus on my little training project. I hadn’t forgotten how Ryone had asked for a present when I…

After a few minutes of observing the world through the mirrors, I pulled my sight back. My hand came up, massaging my temple as I fought off a sudden headache. In order to test myself, I had chosen to watch multiple areas at once. However, like with controlling my avatars, I could only handle so much sensory input at one time. It seemed like becoming a false deity hadn’t given me a substantial increase in that regard. However, that was a small matter. I could train my mind through the same method I…
