In order to handle this fight properly, I asked Leowynn to stay back with the others. I might realize that she could still be considered a part of my own power, but the same might not be said for the dragon. My goal wasn’t just to beat it here, it was to make it accept its loss. We both stood along the beach, nearly a kilometer apart. While Accalia announced the rules of the fight to the both of us, I began running through battle plans in my mind. When it comes to physical strength, I can’t make…-

So, what is your plan, father? Leowynn asked as the two of us walked out of the citadel’s front gates. Are you really going to try to negotiate with the dragon, first? I chuckled lightly at that, nodding my head. Well, I’ll try… no matter how intelligent of a creature it is, it hasn’t had any contact with a language since its birth. Similarly, it’s had no others of its own kind for it to communicate with to build its own language. If this were Fyor, I’d think that it might be able to speak…

When the video finished, showing the fight that had occured with the Mad King, people felt… disappointed. As if they had been built up for so much, with so many possibilities, only to have it all crash down in front of them. This was true both for the viewers, and for Legion as well. Their victory felt hollow. After all their preparations, their careful planning, they had defeated the Mad King. But they hadn’t killed him. Instead, in the middle of his final words, he had simply exited the stage. How…

It had been eight hours since the forces of Legion had made their way to the Mad King’s palace. They had been utterly defeated by the man’s mere presence, without even being able to see his face. But they did not give up. They still had tricks up their sleeves. Thankfully, the Mad King at least seemed to be a man of his word. They chose a spot to rest and relax, even logging out for the day when the system informed them that it was truly safe. While logged out, they discussed with each other about…

It didn’t take long for me to get a resounding yes from Aurivy after I had the two of them relay my question to her. She was all too happy to play the role of the ‘big bad’. Seeing her getting pumped up, and working on her skill profile to play the part brought a small smile to my face before I chose to descend again. This time, I was going back to the Sky Citadel, having accomplished what I wanted from my training. Until I achieved the next breakthrough to the Divine Body, I couldn’t truly…

After running a quick check on Lorek, I decided to follow through on my little tease to Accalia, and turned my sight towards Desbar. I wanted to take a look at the dragon myself, see just how similar it was to the one that I had fought. And what I found was… worrying, to say the least. Not because she had exaggerated its abilities, one way or the other. It was every bit as massive as she had shown me, slumbering fitfully beneath a mountain. Its scales shifted through various colors in the same way as…

With the battle over, I appeared back on my bed within the Admin Room. Nothing had particularly changed, aside from a shocked look on Accalia’s face. “Wha… you… you became me.” I couldn’t help but grin when I saw her eyes wide in disbelief. “It’s a technique I came up with for my divinity, the Mirrored Self. The idea behind it is… if I can understand someone well enough, then I can copy them, become a mirror image. I can’t say that I know you well enough to fully replicate your…

I opened my eyes to see the familiar bedroom that I had left behind for several months. This was only the second time that I had spent so long away from ‘home’, but honestly… it didn’t feel as bad this time. I wasn’t stuck in an uncomfortable environment, forced to act in a certain way to keep up appearances. Instead, I was surrounded by modern comforts and caring people. In many ways, it had started to feel that I was back in my old life. Granted, my old life didn’t have magic, or fully…

The city of Xanjafar seemed to spring to life. The NPCs that had been largely unresponsive to the actions of the players now carried fierce expressions. The city’s blacksmith shops could be heard working night and day, pumping out new weapons and armor that were immediately equipped by the various residents and guards. At first, many players had hoped to earn new quests when they saw this activity. However, most were shot down with the excuse ‘This has nothing to do with you’. Only those rare few…

“Well… that wasn’t how I had hoped this would go.” Jessex said with a groan as we walked through the forest, back towards town. “All that, and he was actually already dead? And… that blood debt…” A dark shadow was cast over her face as she recalled Jinx’s parting words. “I can’t believe they even included something like that in here.” “Is it a really sensitive subject, or something?” Naturally, I knew the significance behind a blood debt, especially when it concerned a…
