They arrived at the mansion as heroes. While the barrier remained, it became evident to everyone that Zarian, Naomi, and Bianca had succeeded when the blockade ended. The blockade soldiers had removed themselves from the premise around the barrier before Zarian and the ladies returned. The neighbors staying in the other mansions and personal towers hadn’t returned fully, especially when there were damages made by the soldiers, but that wasn’t much of a concern to everyone staying in the Lovewar…-

It was late afternoon. The suns torched the sky of blocky clouds reddish as they neared the finale of their daily arc. The moons and stars trailed in, chasing away the dying tyranny of the twin suns. Zarian was outside the Bramblevale Keep’s front entrance with the ladies. He was looking down at a small rectangular case he’d taken as a trophy from Lord Cassian’s desk. He looked up when a group notification appeared. Zarian leveled up from 38 to 39. He was one more away from reaching his first…

The Bramblevale Keep was a monumental construction. It was as wide as a stadium and as tall as a skyscraper. It had six sides and a hexagonal design. The steps leading up its elevated foundation had twenty-foot tall greenery going down each of the edges of the hexagon. The grounds around the keep were spacious, with manicured grass and stone pavement combined in checkered patterns. Now that Zarian was looking up at the keep from the bottom, he didn’t think three thousand men were enough to barricade the…

Operation Domination was shaping up to be an interesting event for Zarian. He’d fought the town’s upper crust of good aligned fighters and saw what his most powerful girls could do as a duo. He’d also paid close attention to how the evil humans conducted themselves. In Zarian’s opinion, the kingdom’s evil underbelly wasn’t that impressive. Yes, the evil humans had seemed stronger and scarier than the soldiers and guards. They must’ve been cunning to exist in Central Bramblevale without…

Naomi found it exciting and annoying to work beside Bianca. The young woman had a crybaby and happy-go-lucky presence at the start of their adventures in the Infinita. Now Bianca was channeling the force of good +3 while equipped with powerful light abilities that could impact every battle. The glamorous Light Bringer Child made Naomi feel insecure. It sucked that the battle psion had to train more than the others. She couldn’t give herself much time to relax. Every day was an uphill battle to keep up…

Zarian wondered if he should put his Level 23 Straight Darkness +1 back in the beta skill section. Even while walking openly in the day, enduring the bothersome shine of the morning suns, he was still ridiculously overpowered compared to these people. It felt like he was beating on children. Even the Level 40s felt too weak for him now. “No,” Naomi said. “No to what?” Zarian asked. “You were thinking about making yourself weaker to make this more of a challenge. I’m telling you no. This…

It was another Early Autumn morning. The fortress town of Central Bramblevale stirred awake, slowly, carefully. It was as if all the townspeople were letting go of an uneasy breath after the past couple of nights. After all, the destruction of the Bramblevale Bandits had sent waves across the city. The underworld was in shambles. Multiple deals tied with the Bramblevale Bandits fell through, disrupting low-level scoundrels and major power players who were connected. Smaller gangs were already fighting…

Twenty-five hours after Operation Skill Steal, Zarian found himself frustrated while sitting at his study desk. It was dark out in the early morning hours. If he listened closely, he could hear the occasional siege blast getting repelled off the Lovewar Dome. There were a few hours to burn before Operation Domination began. But that wasn’t Zarian’s focus. Aura Ignition was still beyond his capabilities to grasp. In fact, having observed and felt the nature of Dax’s Aura Ignition the night before…

Zarian struck first with a powerful dark javelin. Dax lunged out of the way with inches to spare, his aura crackling and sparking around him while it was ablaze. The javelin landed with enough force to toss aside tons of rubble and throw some of the surviving bandits into the air. The eruptive force didn’t bother Dax much at all. “Deal with the peons. Dax is mine!” Zarian sprinted at an angle to the side. He left Gilbert and Loner on their own against over thirty bandits. “Any man who runs,…

Zarian’s mind was lit with possibilities. What spells should he combine now that he had two spell slots he could run at the same time? Or would those be considered concentration slots? The answer came to him from the darkest and most depraved part of his Fractured Mind. It was half evil, and half him being creative. “It’s dark as heck in here, but I’m pretty sure that’s a big evil smile on your face, chief,” Gilbert pointed out. “What’s going on in that noggin’ of yours?” The…
