2023-08-04 03:30:39 +0000 UTC View PostReivyn carefully set one foot in front of the other. He leverage every muscle in his body to ensure that not only was his step silent, but that it was as steady as possible. The ground was quite soft, but he didn’t sink down into the dirt as he made his way across the open field.
The moon and stars illuminated the surroundings as Reivyn ...
2023-08-03 19:43:12 +0000 UTC View Post“So what was it you wanted to talk about?” Ameliyn asked, sitting down between Kailey and Riley.
Refix stood behind the three girls as Reivyn took a seat across from them.
“Well, I already explained it to dad, but I wanted to let you know before I completely forgot about it,” Reivyn said. “It has to do with my past life.”...
2023-07-25 23:02:23 +0000 UTC View PostA/N Just to let everyone know, my whole family is sick. I've got a pretty severe summer cold. It's been lingering for some time, and it just keeps getting worse and worse. It's lasted so long that my wife had it first, got better, and is now sick again with another bug, and I'm still sick from the first cold. We're trudging through, thou...
2023-07-12 07:31:52 +0000 UTC View PostReivyn read through the tome, a frown on his face. He flipped through the pages, but what stared back at him didn’t seem to satisfy him.
I feel like there’s something missing, he thought. It’s just out of my reach, though. There’s a glaring hole in the laws, but it’s eluding me.
After becoming a “guest...
2023-07-08 11:05:18 +0000 UTC View PostOryin relaxed back into the exquisite leather seat. The leather was furnished from the Tier 5 region where the Wispan empire had a foothold. Oryin’s family was old enough and well-enough connected to have a couple of elders exploring the Region. Even though it was impossible for them to establish a firm, permanent foothold in the Tier 5 Region...
2023-07-06 09:37:19 +0000 UTC View PostThe five companions marched through the streets of Willowan with their escort. Kefira walked with her head held high as if she was just going for a stroll. She completely ignored the people on the street as well as the armed escort.
Reivyn, Teilon, and Kimberly took their cue from Kefira, and they maintained their composure. Serilla, on th...
2023-06-30 10:11:40 +0000 UTC View PostReivyn took his last step through the portal into Wispan. Kefira next to him took in a deep breath and let it out with a sigh. He glanced at her and saw the big smile on her face. The joy was contagious and he smiled back.
Reivyn looked around and took a deep breath of his own. His awareness of ambient Mana was just that much higher that h...
2023-06-28 04:48:14 +0000 UTC View PostThe Hard Mode of the Dungeon had been a little disappointing to Reivyn. None of the encounters were altered at all, and the enhanced final boss fight due to Refix’s presence was actually more of a challenge once they figured out the trick.
That being said, figuring out and then training the method of unlocking the Hard Mode was ...
2023-06-24 03:16:12 +0000 UTC View PostGalwit trudged behind the tall figure. They had been moving mostly nonstop since arriving at this infernal place, but that didn’t mean they hadn’t done nothing.
Galwit had been put through his paces and taught many different things normally outside of the range of someone from a Tier 2 Kingdom. Some of the lessons he had learned he was...
2023-06-22 20:56:49 +0000 UTC View PostThe rest of the week was a mix between being just as awful as Teilon feared and not being quite so bad as Refix reassured the group.
Just like when they all worked to unlock the Breath Control Skill, it wasn’t so bad at the beginning. Refix’s training plan simply had them holding their breath the same way they had while underwater afte...
2023-06-21 17:48:57 +0000 UTC View Post“I gotta say, you’re even crazier than I thought,” Kahl exclaimed before clapping Reivyn on the back and guffawing.
After the incident on the beach, Kahl came and found Reivyn walking back to the Adventurer’s Guild. He had heard that a crazy foreigner had swam into the depths, so he came to see if his new friend was alright.
...
2023-06-21 06:48:19 +0000 UTC View PostReivyn walked hand in hand with Kefira through the streets of the coastal town. She wanted to spend time on the beach, but Reivyn wanted to experiment with his ideas for Stamina utilization. Kefira pointed out that he could do that on the beach. He didn’t need to go into the Dungeon to use the cave water,
Going into the cave would give R...
2023-06-16 23:01:05 +0000 UTC View PostOk, so let’s think about this in order, Reivyn relaxed and settled in for some contemplation. Drowning and/or suffocation drains Health based on percentages and across a period of time. It exponentially increases the longer the time goes on, and one will lose consciousness upon losing 50% of their Health.
Ok, that a...
2023-06-15 23:16:03 +0000 UTC View PostReivyn flipped the lid to the spawned chest. The others waited a short distance away for him to pull whatever he found out from inside. They weren’t so impatient that they crowded around him. A soft glow entered Reivyn’s eyes as the lid opened and he reached in to grab the contents.
There were a couple items inside the chest, but there...
2023-06-15 03:00:47 +0000 UTC View PostReivyn looked around the room in confusion. He recognized the faces surrounding him, but not the circumstances of his arrival. There was also a disconnect in his perception, screaming for his attention, but his thinking was coming a bit sluggish.
Lin, a familiar face he hadn’t seen for years, bounded toward him with a happy expression on...
2023-06-13 23:24:54 +0000 UTC View PostOnce more, the group descended to a new floor. There was no difference in the lighting as before, but the oppressive feeling Reivyn sensed from the darkness beyond his senses grew more oppressive. The tunnel leading to the third floor led straight into more tunnels.
The true start of the third floor was an intersection with multiple openin...
2023-06-09 09:57:26 +0000 UTC View Post“That went as well as it possibly could,” Teilon commented.
Immediately below the boss monster was a hole about half the size of the creature. Once the boss was killed, its body shriveled up and floated away, revealing the passage. Reivyn led the team into the opening.
A short tunnel angling mostly down greeted them, and there wa...
2023-06-07 17:50:55 +0000 UTC View PostReivyn twirled the harpoon in his hands as he walked to the front of the Dungeon. There were several other Parties taking turns entering the Dungeon on the first day it was reset for everyone. Reivyn had access to several types of weapons, his new sword proudly strapped to his hip, but he had chosen to open with the harpoon after witnessing most...
2023-06-03 08:22:06 +0000 UTC View PostReivyn and his friends settled into a routine. In the morning, they would train under harsh circumstances under Refix’s critical and creative eye. There was no end to the things he could do to cause them minor suffering that could roll into mind-bending discomfort. The sand inside the armor was just the first example. Reivyn’s least favorite...
2023-06-02 07:41:17 +0000 UTC View Post"So, do you care to elaborate on what you said about monsters in the water the other day?" Reivyn asked Kahl.
Reivyn was busy tightening straps and ensuring all of his gear was accounted for and properly secured. It would be a disaster for something to come loose and fall into the open water, especially if it was impossible to d...
2023-06-01 00:19:07 +0000 UTC View PostReivyn strolled through the open market. He had come with the purpose of inspecting the weapons closely and possibly getting a feel for them, but he found that with his Divine Sense, coupled with his Mana Sensing Skills, he was able to get a good grasp of the properties of everything he wished to quite easily. He didn't need to pick up a weapon ...
2023-05-31 07:58:40 +0000 UTC View Post"Yeah, get in it!" Refix joyfully shouted. "The sand is your friend. Embrace the sand. Become one with the sand."
Reivyn, Kefira, Teilon, and the others were on the beach in full combat gear. Refix stood over them as they rolled back and forth in the dry sand. Reivyn gritted his teeth as he felt the grains migrate all across the...
2023-05-29 22:28:11 +0000 UTC View PostReivyn and Kefira walked arm in arm through the evening streets of the coastal city. Reivyn had paid attention to his alcohol consumption and didn't let himself go too far. Once he reached a certain amount of drinks, regardless of how he felt, he stopped having any more. It had been the right decision, as the feeling of being tipsy doesn't hit a...
2023-05-24 02:31:27 +0000 UTC View PostIt wasn't complicated getting to the Adventurer's Guild. Theyaih was segmented between coastal and inland, but it was one decently sized city. If Reivyn had to guess, he would bet it was slightly larger than Magron. The portion of the city they could see on the coast from the Dungeon was only about ten percent of the size of the settlement.
<... 2023-05-10 06:59:36 +0000 UTC View Post"We should really follow that young man outside," Refix said, catching everyone's attention.
Reivyn looked at his dad for a moment before it occurred to him.
"Because monsters can't exit Dungeons," he said. Refix nodded his head. "We'll have a lot less explaining to do with less overall stress if we confront the...
2023-05-09 08:53:30 +0000 UTC View Post"Flip a coin," Teilon said.
"What?" Reivyn asked, shifting his focus over to his friend.
"There's only so many directions we can choose," Teilon explained. "If we don't know the right way, just pick one at random." Teilon shrugged. Reivyn quirked an eyebrow. "You have the highest Luck Stat out of all of us, so i...
2023-05-06 06:55:04 +0000 UTC View PostOryin grumbled as the upstart forced everyone into the city at a breakneck speed. He had no empathy for those under his command, pushing them until they were on the brink of collapse. Then, as soon as they made it inside the city, he dismissed the untrained youths from his responsibility as fast as he possibly could. It was a shameful display. 2023-05-02 05:43:40 +0000 UTC View Post
"Stop!" The faint sound of the archer reached Reivyn's ears as he and Teilon dashed down the alleyway. His voice was muffled by distance and the buildings between them.
Like I'm going to stop and let myself get captured, Reivyn mentally rolled his eyes. These guys are just as zealous as the Deathsworn if just in a d...
2023-04-27 21:43:59 +0000 UTC View Post"Run, run, run," Reivyn shouted.
The Conscripts didn't hesitate. They had enough experience with how Reivyn operated not to doubt him or the tone of his voice. The jogging pace everyone had been keeping for hours on end turned into an all-out sprint. Any semblance of keeping step to maintain the March Skill disappeared, but nobody car...
