Lavigne was the last to arrive. Before seeing them, she felt two occupants within the small, player-built log cabin. She marveled for the thousandth time how perfectly this simulated world supported her mental ability. Lavigne immediately chastised herself for thinking of it as such...
2025-04-04 17:45:09 +0000 UTC View PostWhile sorting through the first boss’s loot, twice, Raine had to bail out the raid group when several dozen demons attacked them at once. Each time, Rocky scattered the vermin with a colossal kick. While they slaughtered the demons, Raine swapped back to his axe since the mastery only needed a few hundred percent more. The notification came wi...
2025-04-04 17:42:58 +0000 UTC View PostInstead of waiting to be surrounded, Rocky leaned low to the ground and dashed at the rightmost rahk glahm. It was furthest from its oversized allies, marking it a prime target. From his perch on the demon's shoulder, Raine used the leaning of its torso to power a Leap that sent him zipping toward a nemaghaap recovering from its blindness. ...

When the boss’s killing intent slammed into Mel, she knew the moment of her first ZionLine death had arrived. Every moment of intense training that Raine put her through instantly became a kindness. Not that she disliked the abuse, quite the opposite, in fact. The others, however, were a diff...

Knowing that a shitstorm was coming, Raine was far from idle while the giant eye revealed itself and the demons were summoned. Not yet in combat, he opened his skill store, fingers flying in a blur. He bought Guardians Comfort and Guardians ...
2025-03-28 21:26:53 +0000 UTC View PostRaine was the first over the edge. He jabbed a hefty anchor into the rock two meters away, then leaped backward. The heady tingle of excitement in his gut when gravity pulled him down mixed with anticipation of what awaited them at the bottom of the crevasse.
He hadn’t been sure about the nature of their destination until seeing it for h...
2025-03-28 21:18:55 +0000 UTC View PostThe Town of Sularab ambushed the party. They were running headlong down a dirt road, their flight from the tower having ended an hour before. Out of nowhere, dark walls invisible in the night sprang up before them. The creak of drawn bows tickled their ears, and the bright flares of readied skills turned away the night.
Raine raised his ar...
2025-03-28 21:12:05 +0000 UTC View PostTalerra’s eyes narrowed. She looked up at Raine, backlit by the midnight moon masked in soft clouds. Behind him, she caught sight of BrickRoll tumbling through the air. He snapped out a hand and grabbed a lower portion of the stairs, narrowly avoiding a fall all the way to the ground. Her gaze tracked back to Raine, “What kind of deal?” 2025-03-22 23:32:34 +0000 UTC View Post
Raine triggered Grace of Nirvana, thoroughly enjoying the strain of tearing through the air pressure with a combination of Connection and pure speed. His form streaked into a stretched-out blur, instantly arriving at Mel's backside.

2025-03-22 23:29:21 +0000 UTC View PostBetween panted breaths, FierceFire questioned Raine’s goading, “It’s not… working. How do we… push Discipline… into the road?” It was no surprise she looked dead on her feet. Below fifteen percent Discipline, anyone would feel like they were about to die from exhaustion. They wouldn’t, and with enough training, retained full spee...
2025-03-21 20:30:27 +0000 UTC View PostTalerra stopped before Raine, bending her knees and politely dipping her chin, “Sorry we’re late, Master Alaric.”
Raine wasn't even an official expert in the past, so being referred to as master was jarring. Still, there was no reason to correct her. According to the world's current standards, he qualified as a class five martial mas...

2025-03-21 19:59:37 +0000 UTC View PostThe midnight desert was beautiful. Serene and smooth; an embodiment of stillness and quietude, save for the gentle winds whistling a tune as old as time. Jiran, silent and all but invisible, glided over the dunes. The Voicer camp was easy to spot. Their cookfires still burned; pinpricks of light that drew the eye. Their scouts as well were lit u...

Hammer’s collapsed body slowly faded to mist, replaced by a Lustrous Blue polehammer. The weapon was eagerly snatched up by the vicious little demoness who’d clearly cheated to kill him. After recovering from his shock, Damian’s eyes danced as he sent a message to one of his executioners. ...

It was a mixture of styles that he didn’t recognize which was impressive considering his extensive training. Seeing it made the massive man want to hesitate. But the little girl still had an aura of calm condescension about her, and Hammer was no ...

Talerra fumed, scowling at Alaric's bandana-covered face as he glanced away from her to whisper something to someone. In the background of his side of the call, buildings zipped by at a speed that didn’t make sense. If she ran that fast in the city, she would definitely be fin...
