Morning dawns and instead of the peaceful return to normal awareness that normally follows a night of meditation he was instead jarred awake by a system message.

“I was not expecting to get that skill… Maybe I should try my hands at doing more with farming later. At the least I need to check into the sub-skills for it at the next town. Though I do wonder if any spatial farms exist. Bags of holding become common enough once you break through level 100 but that is quite a distance away for me. Be...

Jason and the stone wolf circle around a couple of times. Stuck in a standoff the two stare at each other waiting for the chance to attack. The wolf flairs the stone spikes going down its back. With this the natural energy in the air moves as earth related Mana gathers while pushing everything else away. Not liking where this is going Jaso...

The next few days pass with more of the bizarre and unworkable monsters. Finally, after setting off again for the fourth day things are different. Before despite the weakness or strength of the monsters they would be one right after another. Now though Jason travels for half the day without meeting anything. He takes this as a good sign. T...

The sun rises on the horizon as Jason stretches. Satisfied with his growth so far he heads back into the wasteland. Even with how big the emu area has been so far he feels that it will end soon. Of course ‘soon’ is relative as he takes another three days before he encounters something besides a bird. Though once he does a smile steals ...

Next day Jason continues further along the wastelands border. As he travels there is a few fights with lone emus but anytime a group comes into view, they stare at him then leave. Weird but not being able to do anything about this he shrugs. In fact, this continues for several days. After over a week Jason sits down in camp and thinks abou...

The emus shift around uneasily as Jason stands there defenseless. His arms hanging at his side limp as the stress and tension from the fight leave him. Then one of the front line emus is dead. Jason is standing over it stable like a mountain having completed a side punch. His attack wasn’t that fast but his actions seemed to slide past the emu...

Using Blast Punch had felt almost completely different. Before his Energy flowed naturally along with his strength. Travelling down his arm it would burst out of his fist after having followed what to Jason had been the natural path for it to take. Now though if before the skill was like a meandering stream the current feel was like a broad rive...

Coming out of his meditation the next day Jason checks his progress. His cultivation had reached Initiate level 2 over the night. Happy with his progress he packs up and heads back toward the wasteland. Taking a day to get used to how the changes affected him would work, battle experience at this point should provide a better foundation for late...

Drip drip drip, the sound of liquid falling into a puddle causes Jason to stir. His body feels pain and yet relief at the same time. Like a snake having just shed he feels like a restriction on his growth has been lifted. Opening his eyes he takes note of and swipes away an alert about gaining 5 Toughness, 10 HP, and strangest of all 1 more Ener...

To start lets explain what this is. I have had a second story rumbling around in my head long before NeoRealm came about. It will be a more classical cultivation story. The plan for it is to have weightier chapters of around 3k words each. I have previously released a set of prologues and a first chapter. After getting some opinions of ...

Next morning as the last rabbits hop off Jason wakes up from his introspective meditation. Relief flows through him as while his concept of blood being wrong he wasn’t completely blind. Breaking it into the games terms most of his cultivation technique is all right. It is only the ability of “Blood is Life and the Heart it’s throne” that...

Happy with his new Skill Jason spends the rest of the day in practice. While there isn’t anything to use the move against this won’t pose a problem. His Variant Blast Punch might not be as flashy as the normal version but it took one important aspect from his past. Using the punch did not waste a person’s energy. Honestly, the move was lab...

Jason goes only a short distance before running into a trio of the insectoid emus. Luckily these three are the wasp type so he gives it a shot. Turning his run into a charge he barrels into the group. The three scatter in different directions with only one of them staying. Not what he was planning, but a fight is a fight.
The emu throws a ...

Next morning Jason awakens from his meditation to a few rabbits running away. Ignoring them he checks the environment. At first there doesn’t seem to be much difference with the World Energy but then he notices. The area in front of him, towards the Energy Herbs, the Energy field is purer. Behind however it is murky and almost seems polluted. ...

Putting the rabbits and his worries behind him Jason heads back into the wasteland. He takes a little time to find something to fight. Despite being sparse the rock spires are placed just right to prevent someone from see too far. However Jason does eventually find another of the Warped Panthers. Though this one is alone, so he decides to try so...

Jason wakes up from his meditation, though, stays still. It seems he forgot a very important step before starting. He opens one eye just a slit. All around him many rabbits are also waking up from their own meditation. A quick inspection shows that none of them are normal rabbits. In fact, most of them are the either Nub rabbits or Fledgling rab...

Jason almost seems to float through the air. Without a sound he lands on a nearby spire before putting all his strength into a mighty leap. The sound of which alerts the warped panthers, but it is too late for the weakest looking one. The panther turns to look but all there is to see is an elbow fast approaching before being knocked out.

The night was peaceful enough. Only once did Jason get woken up and only because a normal rabbit got curious and jostled the bells. This interruption is taken care of by scaring it away and he gets back to sleep after setting the bells up again.
Next morning he wakes up bright and early. The sun shining into his eyes raising only minimal g...

Time has passed and we find Jason standing at the entrance to the forest once again. This time alone and ready to strike out for some tougher prey. As he travels along the forest path nothing much bothers him. Even the boss clearing is empty. Though that is to be expected. It isn’t every day that new adventurers head out on their first quest. ...

Penny points at the area on the map across from the mountains. “I know you said no to the forest but the first part of your trip is to get through the forest. Just follow the path to the newb boss and keep going straight on through. Oh, and obviously you know this already but if you find a boss there, leave it be. Anyway, once your past the fo...

Now alone in his room Jason is planning what to do next. The forest was nice but likely the animals will lie low for a few more days. The big ruckus from the kidnaping attempt would have sent everything into hiding.

Having the trial finish so fast threw everyone for a loop. Rosha had been betting that even with truth spells they would be here for a few days. James had been even less optimistic and thought it might take a solid week. Jason can only shrug his shoulders as they leave the courthouse. “I guess the wheels of justice move a lot faster when greas...

The head judge Alve turns to the accused wolfkin, “Now Devon Thornclaw, it is your turn to tell us whatever scintillating tale you think will get you out of this.” At this point our group realize they didn’t know his name until now. Everyone had always referred to him as the brat or some other colorful term.

I have gotten into the habit of including a little snip-it at the bottom of the chapters. On RoyalRoad its the bottom author note and I titled it "Things I wanted to mention but didn’t".

The wait for the trial to start doesn’t take long, and he leads the group into the courtroom. Once in they get to look around as everyone is being settled. Most of this time, though, is because the wolfkin they are here to testify against is making a ruckus. Finally, one of the court mages has to silence him. The group just ignore his threats ...

Mountains of paperwork aside the groups time at the Temple was relatively pleasant. The night passed quietly and so did most of the next day. Only most as around sunset a couple of explosions could be heard from their room. Nothing came of it and they weren’t informed of what happened. Though it was easy to guess that the papa wolf got a bit o...

Their time is almost up in the shelter and the group is in a huddle. As they likely were not getting much sleep tonight, the group had taken the chance earlier to nap through the day. Now a bit more than an hour left till midnight a plan is needed. While people can’t find them in the shelter that didn’t stop them from noticing all the people...

The questioning of their captive actually goes smoothly. Apparently paying what is this worlds equivalent of minimum wage doesn’t engender loyalty. They didn’t actually even threaten him. The fact they could capture him so easily was enough to get him talking and talk he did.

Then a crackle followed by the smell of ozone points out that they are no long...
