Gilbert was on guard duty while the ladies bathed and cleaned up in a crystal clear pond behind him. The trio were further ahead of the soldiers’ march, left of the path the young men were taking to reach Bramblevale. While the ladies had a solid ten minutes to bathe before Roland’s young soldiers passed by, Gilbert wanted to make sure he steered away any entrepreneurial scouts. Those young soldiers hadn’t felt the touch of a woman outside of their own mother let alone seen a village girl naked in…-

Before Zarian could examine his rewards, he had to admit he was damn lucky few people had the Identify trait. If the gnoll elders could use Identify like him and Foodie, they would’ve known he was bluffing them. Then he and Bianca would’ve died. Who would’ve thought he could use his overpowered nature to outwit enemies that should outright kill him? He would have to keep that in the back pocket for later down the road. Or he would have to get much, much stronger. Zarian glanced at the fallen piles…

A war party of gnolls had killed the remaining wulvers last night. Zarian could hardly believe the news while his remaining spectral spiders danced to tell the story. Not all of them made it out of the massacre alive – a few powerful gnolls had noticed them and hunted them down for sport. In the end, only five spectral spiders survived out of the hundred he’d left yesterday. Only one spider could tell the story decently after risking its life to watch the entire wulver lair massacre. Zarian watched…

Zarian focused his fractured attention between the aura link to keep Bianca fueled and fighting at the front like an off-brand warrior. It didn’t take long before he realized his current physicality wasn’t truly enough. He needed more of Para’s direct help to reinforce his body. The cloak behind his back became more conservative, less dramatic, less active. Parasitic threads crawled over Zarian’s body, gripping him like a bodysuit, covering him from the head down as Para synced her entire being…

There was no sign of the monster den while Zarian and Bianca flew around in the air. At least not from close to the dire wolf pack. Their hopes picked up when they saw a squad of spectral spiders waiting near the dire wolf pack. By then, the intelligent beasts have grown accustomed to seeing the Outsiders come and go near their den. Adults and pups watched from on top of a shattered fortress grafted into their blocky hillock. Nightfall arrived and the spectral spiders explained what they saw through a…

If it was anyone else the wulvers frozen with a mind-invading magic howl, the wulvers would’ve torn through the pair of Outsiders and finished their genocide of the dire wolf pack. But Zarian was here, and he had a decent solution to the mind-paralyzing problem. Adrenaline Jolt. He boosted the Level 0 skill with his aura traits and brushed off the mind-invading paralysis. Then he sent a red line of arcane adrenaline into Bianca, but not too much. She had her own version of the Level 0 skill.…

Zarian’s entire body was on fire, the enjoyable kind. His mind was lit like a cluster of stars. He hadn’t eaten breakfast on purpose, allowing the unreasonable hunger to build up inside of him. It was a new tool for him to test and explore. For most of his life, Zarian’s hunger had tired him, hurt him, and made his development as a person difficult. When he was in the Marines, he’d eaten as quickly and as much as he could. He’d wanted to make up for the years of lack. He’d loved the chow…

Zarian knew he was acting crazy, but the recent power ups reminded him why he’d made a scene in the mall and opened a portal to another world. He wanted to play with magic and grow his dark powers further to new heights. He wanted to live in a place like the Infinita Star System where he could go wild. It was stupid of Ariana to have resorted to lies and manipulation. She could’ve told the truth from the start. It wouldn’t have changed anything. Zarian would’ve gone full-tilt into that portal. A…

“So, I think we’ve started a war,” Zarian said, after wolfing down part of the cooked meat of a large beast he’d hunted in the forest. His party was there, sitting around the campfire. A spectral spider had beckoned them to leave the soldier camp and meet Zarian deeper into the dark fortified forest. The others were still waiting for the meat to cook all the way through. Zarian couldn’t wait. He tore off another slab while it was still dripping, the meat thinly seared at the very least. He sunk…

While Zarian dealt with hunger worse than he’d ever felt before, Jack Masters ran out of goblins to slaughter on the subterranean floors of Castle Grimrock. Jack hadn’t expected this to become a problem. At first, he’d taken his time practicing his new class and leveling up, avoiding large groups by singling goblins out. When facing his prey, he’d acted like a scavenger with legendary potential and ambushed lone goblins after they wounded themselves from in-house fights. To Jack, it was more…
