Getting everyone around the kitchen table to have a meeting turned out to be a hassle. Specifically due to his mom. He had trouble dragging her away from her new demonic TV, even though she could still pause her shows. The real surprise came when he had to convince Beefcake to join the group as well. It seemed l...

Drew found his wife and several other people near the gate of the defensive wall. It looked like they were preparing to head out and hunt in several groups, which wasn't a terrible idea since all the newcomers needed levels badly. Having so many of his "home-team" out and about was a bit concerning from a ...

Drew really needed to come up with a catchy song for when he was busy raising the dead. Something other people could join in and make into a musical of some kind. Maybe something with seven dwarves, or a bunch of sailors. Why? Because after a while, it became really, really boring. After who knows how many hours...

The whispers, and the people reaching out with shaking hands to touch Drew and Sindra put him ill at ease as they walked past the group of mourners. The grieving looked at him with thanks and reverence in their eyes, which was highly uncomfortable for him. Sindra seemed to be more at home with it, as she nodded ...

"So, you're The Lady's new Champion." The being said with a strong, yet decisively feminine voice.
Drew stood there watching the Valkyrie for a moment. Armored up badass woman, spear and shield, works around a lot of death. Yeah, it was definitely a Valkyrie from the old Norse mythologies. But why would on...

Drew was getting pretty sick of passing out. How many times over the past week had he lost consciousness? It couldn't be healthy for his brain, Vitality stat or not. On the bright side, he wasn't lying on the ground of a frozen wasteland when he'd woken up. He wasn't in his house either. It looked like someone h...

Amber had dragged Drew over to the healing area and ran to grab Miranda. His wounds weren't nearly as bad as other peoples' were, but they definitely weren't pretty. To say that he was pretty fucked up would be an understatement. He had several holes in his torso, thighs, and arms from the birds that had rammed ...

"My cousin is getting married and I need a plus one." She said.
"Yeahhhh... no offense, but, hard pass." Drew said.
They sat in silence for several moments.

Drew popped into existence standing next to Hades, he was in what could only be described as a throne room, there were probably better names for it, but he couldn't think of any due to what was before his eyes. The room itself was instantly recognizable as a place of power, and yet, was far different than anythi...

Drew stood still while rereading The System notification that was cordially inviting him into the realm of... death, to meet with a divine being that was so old, and so powerful, that according to Spock, most other gods just fucked off and left her the hell alone. So, he stood there, thinking that The System had...

Drew pulled back from his mental connection with Scolder, and soon found himself back in his own, non-coyote body, much to his relief. Being an undead canine was cool and all, but he was happy to be back in his own body. Spock and Robert had gone back to sparring when Drew sent his consciousness flowing to his m...

As Drew approached the sparring Spock and Robert, he watched the exchange of blows. Robert was still level zero, so he was mostly working with the stats that he had prior to The Descent, but Spock had several levels already. The last time Drew had spoken with Spock, the medium warrior had said that his level was...

Drew woke up several hours later and felt much better than he had when he passed out. That fight with the horde of goblins had taken a lot out of him. Both from a mana perspective, but also from mental exhaustion perspective as well. Sitting in bed and just relaxing he reflected on the battle, and his shortcomin...

Saturday and Sunday flew by as a blur to Drew, as everyone continued to prepare for The Descent. Early Saturday morning, the group had gone to the second rental property to continue hunting wild hogs. Drew managed to hit level six, and everyone else hit level five.

After some internal reflection, the group at Drew's home had quickly come to some conclusions. Only Amber and Mark still looked like their photo ID's, and thus, were the only ones who would be able to purchase the trucks they'd picked out.
