Theo wouldn’t consider the day’s agenda to be difficult. It was packed, that was for sure, but it was nothing they couldn’t handle. As they were reaching the maximum absorption of dragon energy the cheat way, their focus now turned to using that magic in a way that suited them. Tresk had a fight co...
2025-10-02 15:48:37 +0000 UTC View PostRud’s wings caught a powerful updraft, keeping him aloft as he sailed through the sky with Nulsa. They scanned the landscape below. It was an area dotted by the pale light from the shattered moons, but their vision was drawn from magical sources. Spots of heightened magical density flared in the...
2025-10-02 15:45:18 +0000 UTC View PostThe town of Stoutforge was tiny. There was a road somewhere to the west the group had missed, but after finding their way to the packed dirt path, they traveled north for only a half-hour before finally setting eyes on the quaint place. There was a scatter of buildings, which ranged in styles from all-wo...
2025-10-02 15:43:31 +0000 UTC View PostEthan didn’t have an interest in dungeons. Well, he wasn’t interested in running them. But after being coaxed into the dungeon by Luna, who was perhaps the only person in the group that could’ve talked him into it, he found out why it would be an important trip. The amount of strange magic that ...
2025-09-30 16:01:55 +0000 UTC View PostRud had done a great job keeping it together after first meeting the adventuring party. But as he stepped through the portal, arriving at the defenses he had constructed around the tower, he felt his facade crack slightly. A steadying breath did nothing to ease the worry brewing in his mind.
“Oh, yeah. I love vague item descriptions,” Tresk said.
Theo held the vial, clicking his tongue as he read through the description.

2025-09-25 17:12:11 +0000 UTC View PostThe coolest thing about the bracelet's ability to remember information was the way it segmented that information. Ethan quickly learned that he could issue a few sharp orders and organize the books it scanned. He had to do little more than hold his wrist out for the bracelet to consume all the information ...
2025-09-25 17:09:38 +0000 UTC View PostOfficially, all the students were currently on vacation. That did not mean that those students were inactive though. Many of the pupils belonging to Gale House took this time to improve the skills they lacked in order to press forward. The first month of classes might have been brutal for those who had a wea...
2025-09-24 15:57:43 +0000 UTC View PostEthan spent quite a long time puzzling over what the component he had just emulated was. It seemed as though the Grand System was using the spell display screen to represent something it wasn't meant to represent, which was confusing. He eventually reached a conclusion that reminded him of spell co...
2025-09-18 16:01:50 +0000 UTC View PostRud wiped the sweat from his forehead, looking up at the new staircase he was working on. Directly above the academy’s central tower, he had been digging. This required a very large tree with powerful roots to move through the layers of dirt and stone. But the druid enjoyed pushing his Plant Magic ...
2025-09-18 15:57:53 +0000 UTC View PostAlthough Theo woke the next morning on the mortal realm, in his comfortable bed no less, he was immediately reminded of the mountain of work he had to get done. The idea of the arena now seemed fun only as a distant memory. The alchemist simply needed to remind himself that the people were having a good time, an...
2025-09-18 15:56:33 +0000 UTC View Post“Awooga!” Tresk shouted.
Fenian fanned himself, looking Pogo up and down. “Awooga indeed,” he said, jumping from the commentator’s chair and sweeping across the room. “I don’t believe I’ve introduced myself. Fenian Feintleaf, master duelist and potential master of your heart.”
Theo ...
2025-09-11 17:05:29 +0000 UTC View PostAlthough Elm might have been piecing together some information about what was going on in the abandoned town, Rud was completely clueless. The druid saw the abandoned buildings and checked them out alongside the mage, but the lives these people had left behind were just as mysterious to him. There w...
2025-09-11 16:58:51 +0000 UTC View PostRud was surprised by how quickly Ban could incorporate the new building. He watched as her roots connected to the Gate and integrated it into the Grove. When he had first arrived, it had taken her days, or maybe weeks, to bring a new building into the fold. But now she did it in a matter of minutes. W...
2025-09-04 17:13:10 +0000 UTC View PostElrin’s technique for cultivating the energy was to partially disable his system. But he hadn’t figured out how to block it out entirely. The lady who figured it out to begin with, Meya, didn’t start with a system. She had never entirely figured out how to pass her technique down, meaning that...
2025-09-04 17:11:19 +0000 UTC View PostRud ran his hands over the large bowl he had created to act as the main pool of his water park. The Lacquer spell tingled over his fingers, turning the rough surface to a smooth finish. Getting the general shape of the tree was easy enough, but there was a lot still to do. The fine details of tree-based pr...
2025-08-28 15:39:28 +0000 UTC View Post“Wait until you take a sip of that bad boy,” Tresk said, rubbing her hands together.
Theo had been forced to do something he had wanted to avoid. Increasing his potential meant dipping his toes into a wacky form of progression that was outside of their current system. It in...
2025-08-28 15:37:23 +0000 UTC View PostTheo knew little about warfare in Iaredin. The only touchstone he had was the information Luras and Aarok had given him about the Qavelli Irregulars, which were a group of soldiers drawn from far-flung places in the dead kingdom. What he was witnessing below was interesting, but he wouldn’t quali...
2025-08-27 13:53:29 +0000 UTC View PostBefore dinner was officially over that night, Elm had joined the forest spirits at the longhouse. She seemed exhausted from the road, and Rud didn't blame her. Even taking the road he had constructed, he understood the journey was long and tiring. She looked ready for a nap but had arrived for some food, which...
2025-08-21 16:05:02 +0000 UTC View PostIn her time, dancing through the stars, Fate had seen many things. She had witnessed the birth of new civilizations, the downfall of worlds thanks to the system, and the rise of great people that would shift certain sectors to glory or demise. She had never seen what her grandfather had done. On the other si...
2025-08-21 16:01:30 +0000 UTC View Post“Powerful adventurers, you say.” Ban’s voice flooded into the clearing in the Grove’s center. “Coming to rescue us, are they?”
“Why the skepticism!?” Rud asked, shouting as he spun around. “Does someone know something I don't?”
Ban couldn’t keep up a joke as long as the...
2025-08-14 17:05:46 +0000 UTC View PostOf the many stars that glittered above Iaredin, there were some stranger than others. Theo had a lot on his plate. He had the migration and the tournament to consider. Yet there were times when he wanted nothing more than to go off and do something else. Something different that helped segment the endless...
2025-08-14 17:01:04 +0000 UTC View PostThe sound of an engine stalled to a stop, shuddering a few times before going silent. Next came a door slamming closed, followed by the sound of hard-soled shoes echoing across the concrete. A key turned in a lock next, and then the door opened. Loosening her tie, she stepped into the house as a wave of exhaus...
2025-08-07 17:39:31 +0000 UTC View PostRud pulled up the wooden path behind him as he and Taz made their way to the dungeon. His goal was to be more economical about these paths, which should reduce confusion with the adventurers. It was hard to focus on the task, since he was too excited to chomp the dungeon, but he did i...
2025-08-07 17:18:53 +0000 UTC View PostTendrils of Sledge’s soul whipped out, reaching to make a connection with Tero’gal. The world itself was ready to accept her without question, but the power of her soul wasn’t strong enough to establish a link unaided. Theo had pulled a chair up to the bed, smiling to himself as he saw the roaring fire ...
2025-08-01 11:00:15 +0000 UTC View PostRud had little trouble readjusting the paths for the adventurers. He knew the house was good enough for them for now, but if they didn’t have a walkway between where they were and the nearby dungeons, they would get lost and possibly die. He only needed to connect a few of the dungeons to keep them b...
2025-08-01 11:00:15 +0000 UTC View PostEthan learned a very important lesson about jumping travel powers: mid-air control. When the upward arch of his jump ended, and the descent began, the wind hit him hard. It sent him tumbling through the sky, forcing him to scream the entire way. He tumbled end-over-end and there was only one...
2025-07-26 13:40:11 +0000 UTC View PostDrogramath’s abandoned realm was filled with weird plants. When Theo and Tresk first entered that world, it was difficult for him to determine which plant within those glass domes was useful for alchemy. The way those plants felt reminded him more of the potions he had created with his new skill. They ...
2025-07-25 11:15:02 +0000 UTC View PostWind blew through the forest of Gladesbale Grove. Trees swayed to one side, their branches dotted in sections with flowers that glowed. The lights twinkled even around noon, brightening as the powerful mana blew from the north. Whatever chill had settled upon the forest today was anything but ...
