For the next hour, Hannah found the peace of exploring a cavern system under the city an interesting and welcomed diversion. She and Zarian had spent three days crawling through the Devouring Librarian Dungeon. The last battles were mighty, epic, and draining. She’d nearly torn her mind apart to sabotage the obelisks. Now her spirit was renewed. She had new toys to play with. She couldn’t stop from using her cube maker skill. She pointed at a spot and drained material rapidly into the skill item’s…-

Hannah looked down at the three treasure chests waiting to be opened. They glowed with an allure that invited all desires, imaginations, and greed. They stood out compared to the rocky cavern floor and the surrounding darkness. The only lights came from the treasure chests and the most elemental skeletons – mostly Glowy. Hannah patted her hands together and looked back at the others. The skeletons gave her all thumbs up, and the spectral spiders saluted. Feeling emboldened, Hannah flipped open all the…

Hannah ran to the nearest hidden object of power while accompanied by nine skeletons and her Roller Golem. She kept the dynamic fight in the corner of her eye. She pushed down the feeling of guilt that she was using Zarian. He was risking his life and holding himself back against an enemy that could kill him. It took a certain type of mindset that was beyond selfless. Zarian was truly a demigod, in Hannah’s belief, and a crazy one at that. In fact, she could hear his howls of laughter entwined with…

Hannah looked up at the newest notifications to appear. “Yes, please.” Hannah didn’t care too much about the orchestral soundtrack. Zarian would like it, at the very least. She, however, was frankly in shock. After having a breezy walk through the library maze, hearing distant monsters roaming, some of which they hadn’t fought before, Hannah was prepared to face the worst. The boss of the Devouring Librarian Dungeon was horrifying, certainly the worst thing she’d ever seen. That wasn’t the…

The traps were the easiest part of the dungeon. They were all reliant on runes. Hannah took joy in dismantling them as they traveled through the tunnels and entered new rooms laden with monsters. The walk between monster rooms had become a routine that helped Hannah get into the flow. For the most part, the beginning always remained the same. The monsters wouldn’t engage first. They would let the crawlers kick things off. It was through increasing difficulty and the appearance of new, tougher monsters…

The dungeon crawl sped up. Hannah relied on the advancing skeletons and spectral spiders more. She hadn’t exploited her command list for Zarian’s heavy artillery support just yet. She saved the big guns for later. Zarian remained just fine and always willing to help. When he wasn’t needed, he studied in the background. The spider scouts found multiple traps and marked them each with a glowing x made of blue arcane webbing. Hannah scanned each marked trap. She broke their runic makeup into simple…

Hannah hadn’t noticed until she was looking down the hallway that she’d leveled up from 30 to 33. And she’d done so without a side quest. She’d gained three levels of experience from merely being part of a spectacular, world-changing event. Hannah could hardly believe it. Hell, she could hardly believe the part she’d played in all of this. Thankfully, she had a demigod with gold notifications backing her. Hannah allowed herself to shudder from the close call and obvious power Zarian had. She…

Hannah worked up the nerve to turn to Zarian and admit that she’d made a dumb mistake and he should take over. Obviously, she was too weak to lead an expedition against a Rare Level 40 Dungeon. She figured she lacked the potential. Or the ability to make her potential greater than the Devouring Librarian Dungeon. The words tasted bitter in her mouth, and she couldn’t even recall what she was saying exactly. It all came down to thinking it was best to fall under Zarian’s leadership again. He was…

Hannah’s prior research was focused on key points in Central Bramblevale’s history as part of the frontier for the Eternal Garden Kingdom. The information she delved into went back to the previous two eras, the Restart Era, and the Adventure Era, before settling into the Dark Era. Central Bramblevale became more prominent in the Restart Era when it was first a fortress for invading orcs. The elves had driven them out and reclaimed their ancestral lands and turned back the green tide in the same time…

It was a breezy and cool autumn morning, and Zarian was in the kitchen. The morning suns had broken past the dawn horizon, bathing Central Bramblevale with their cheerful light. Heavy, blocky clouds, stacked over each other like Jenga towers, crawled across the sky at a brisk pace. The wind picked up and whistled loudly through the kitchen. A few autumn-colored leaves blew through unobstructed. Nothing much could stop them while a big hole in the wall and ceiling and multiple floors above left the way…
