A video has surfaced from the depths of Sideark’s past. Dredged up by Juniper’s fans. It was a minute long rant about how disgusting skin shamblers were and how he boasted having killed hundreds of them in his time down at the Cataclysm Abyss.
“It was an exaggeration when I first started streaming to get views. Nobody else realized t...

Heated arguments have started between Juniper the Fair Hearted and Sideark’s fans. Ignited by a side-comment by Juniper criticizing Sideark keeping the operation to himself.
“I didn’t keep the operation to myself! It was a sudden emergency mission and I got the best rookies that were nearby.”

“What?”
Ryan just shook his head at the lack of good material to work with. “You really are an idiot [Savant], huh?”
“How are you here?”
“This is my place, why would I not be here?”
The mocking rhetorical question had One-Eyed Rick sputtering like mad. “This is the domain of the gods! Of the Trial System...

Rick continued to experiment with volatile mana himself. After a few minutes of experimenting he no longer needed Ryan to send him a [Volatile Antimagic Throw] at his head. Now he was capable of creating and holding the orb of white mana himself.
The third explosion in Rick’s face, however, did very little to inspire confidence.

Sometimes a good night’s rest really did change your perspective of things. The people he had failed still hurt of course. But things were different without a cloud of exhaustion hovering over him.

Artigan’s strength and resourcefulness was well beyond even Kraxxksken’s expectations. The leader of the Unwanted monsters had thought he would win, even until the end. While at first he had been planning to die to Artigan after killing all of his own kin, his fury had overwhelmed him to the point that he truly did try to kill Artigan for re...

This was Shara’s report on Kraxxksken:

Believe it or not, this was familiar territory. Well, of course Ryan hadn’t actually staged a coup with an elven princess before, but he had assessed some of the Fourth Trial solutions with this exact scenario… online.
Okay, even in his head that sounded really bad. Still, it had gotten him this far, and the pieces were all there.

There was an oddity in the way that Rax moved that threw up red flags for Ryan. The casualness of making weapons of war while welcoming them warmly in a brutal workshop was just one too many contrasting features to feel like things were truly genuine. It was also in the way that Rax moved. Shara didn’t have humanoid tics. Preferring to stay in...

If Ryan was being honest, Tar’el was a really crappy aura generator. The elf was actively dampening his emotions and using some trick to keep his own aura placid and contained. From a purely risk vs reward perspective, playing the music wasn’t worth the aura generation.
Of course, that assumed the music was just for Tar’el alone.

The embers of his aura would keep them safe for a time. Ryan didn’t know exactly how long it would last, but it should be enough time to get them situated and prepare for the monsters if they did come back.
For the stronger Leafstalkers that were leaping from ledge to ledge to follow him down?
His actions did nothing to sway them. ...

You had to understand, the Witch Tyrant did not think like regular people. Very few high realm [Mages] had thoughts that ordinary humans would recognize. The Witch Tyrant had studiously researched her Legend until she developed thought processes that even the greatest of [Mages] would balk at.
