Heya all, Chapter 44 underwent a partial rewrite and Chapter 45 went through some minor dialogue changes that are not worth mentioning. For those curious about what was changed: 44 has Volkar be interrupted by the other knights and told he's going too far, and in general, they are considerably more respectful of Amber's status. Also, Amb...
2024-03-21 01:02:16 +0000 UTC View PostAmber watched as some of the knights immediately were stunned into silence, while others seemed confused and lost. No one was happy about her confession, however the only one that seemed to still be composed was Volkar, who spoke towards her.
“Now, this claim is…”
“Ridiculous?” Amb...
2024-03-19 23:30:55 +0000 UTC View PostAmber paused seeing all of the commotion around the camp of elite knights surrounding the tower. She had snuck into the tower, and even though she had met a group knights well into the journey and befriended their captain, Terrel, she didn’t expect for things to devolve like this. The initial plan was to us...
2024-03-18 19:44:00 +0000 UTC View PostAmber slowly nodded at the Primordial Spirit’s words.
“However, I advise you to be careful, use my name, use Ax’thra’s name. The Cube of Stars is not meant to be in the possession of humans,” she warned.
Amber paused at that, and took the warning to heart. “And...
2024-03-17 00:09:09 +0000 UTC View PostAmber could hardly believe her ears. She could understand that he returned to the birthplace of Primordial Spirits. Sure, she was surprised that the spirits weren’t native to Vir. But all the information she had received combined with the brief vision she saw… it was a bit too much.
A land without a...
2024-03-15 15:30:11 +0000 UTC View PostAnd now, she was here.
“The one-hundredth floor…” Amber took a deep breath.
She was nervous.
The floors ninety-one to ninety-nine hadn’t exactly been hard, but the ninetieth floor was a different story. However, that wasn’t the reason she was nervous. The main ...
2024-03-14 11:02:15 +0000 UTC View PostAmber momentarily missed the knights, she missed the idle chatter, and more importantly, she missed their presence.
Maybe I should have accepted their food at least once… Amber thought. She remembered the numerous times she was offered, but she declined wondering if Recovery of Curses had a l...
2024-03-13 15:47:44 +0000 UTC View PostAmber couldn’t believe what she had just heard. Of course, she didn’t understand how Ax’thra’s confrontation with Dargon had unfolded; all she knew was that the mage and brawler had died after it was over. She didn’t know if Ax’thra had emerged victorious without a struggle or if anything happened...
2024-03-12 13:00:25 +0000 UTC View PostTerrel was frozen in place, something within him didn’t let him move under the gaze of Amber. Now, she was staring right at him, he was sure she was trying to say something with her stare, but he couldn’t quite place it. However, he also found it hard to look away; his hairs were standing on end, an...
2024-03-11 09:20:17 +0000 UTC View PostAmber thought about agreeing. Many would have called her crazy and even say that thought was nonsensical, but that couldn’t be further from the truth. She had many reasons for agreeing, one of them was keeping peace. She didn’t want to fight some knights and become the enemy of the kingdom, she had alread...
2024-03-09 07:35:45 +0000 UTC View PostChapter 36.
Terrel had just cleared the fiftieth floor with his squad, when they saw a door open. It was a strange thing, while not all the rules of the tower were known, he knew that a door opening to a different route could mean multiple things: one, the group in that route had left the tower. Two, the group in that route had died. Thre...
2024-03-07 05:18:16 +0000 UTC View PostAmber jumped as a vast chasm was formed where she had just been standing. The tortoise was defiant, even though she hardly attacked it! Amber stared at the flaming monster, large parts of its shell were slowly falling apart; crumbling as they carbonized to the raging fires. She had been fighting the monster f...
2024-03-06 08:00:39 +0000 UTC View PostAmber felt more alive than ever before, and for good reason. She had changed. She had changed in ways that she had never changed before; even her previous Class Advancement paled to this. Even though she had a lot of experiences in her life from Earth, nothing compared to the excitement she felt.
... 2024-03-05 09:01:27 +0000 UTC View PostAmber distributed her attribute points and immediately began to recover. She was excited, multiple of her skills reached 3rd Rank from that fight. However, she didn’t instantly take a close look at them given her advancement would likely change them. Instead, she only took a look at the kill notifications a...
2024-03-04 21:12:10 +0000 UTC View PostHeya all, I forgot to mention how long Amber had passed in the tower, and at the same time I restructured to make the read better.
Anyway here are the parts that have been changed for those that don't want to read all the changes in detail.
TL;DR:
Amber has passed six months in the tower.&nb...
2024-03-04 02:42:11 +0000 UTC View PostAmber didn’t understand what had even happened, one moment she was about to kill the Fire Velstalker and the next she was blasted across the room. The monster used some kind of skill and had ascended to become a Fireblessed Velstalker. However, she didn’t have any time to wonder about what the bo...
2024-03-02 08:33:24 +0000 UTC View PostAmber stared at the Voidlurker, the monster resembled one of those twisted humanoid things from horror movies. Its skin was ghastly white, its limbs were long and sickly, and its multiple eyes were staring right at her with no emotion. Whatever the fuck it was, she was certain it wasn’t natural.
Her a...
2024-03-01 08:55:29 +0000 UTC View PostAmber stared at the Grand Ostrutem Serpent, and in turn, the serpent stared right back at her. Its golden slitted eyes, piercing and aggressive, its body coiling and tensing, its being preparing and getting ready to strike at its prey. Amber grinned and raised her dagger, having already devised a plan.

2024-02-29 12:45:42 +0000 UTC View PostAmber hadn’t expected for the first floor to ever open like that, she had been paralyzed for more than just a few hours afterwards. However, during her time on the ground she had seen a notification pop up about three times, which made her incredibly happy.
[Toxin Resistance has leveled up fro...
2024-02-29 12:44:04 +0000 UTC View PostAmber at first had been a bit bothered due to how everyone treated her. Some adventurers had even quit and returned to Laria as soon as she joined the caravan. Thankfully, after she fought off some monsters the feeling of alienation slowly faded. And finally, towards the last day, Amber felt comfortable enoug...
2024-02-26 23:26:22 +0000 UTC View PostAmber stood on the fifth floor, it was very whatever looking just like a lot of the floors. For a moment she considered returning back to Laria and maybe departing to look for the other tower after that. However, given the tower was fixed, she decided to keep going up the floors. At first, nothing seemed inte...
2024-02-26 23:21:13 +0000 UTC View PostTime quickly passed and Amber saw no fighting whatsoever, but she thought that was alright. Velda, Liz’s sister had basically volunteered herself to fight whatever monster came, and now that Liz was strong enough, she was able to allow her sister to do that. So, in the end, the two siblings repelled all the...

“My guess is that he had a Legacy Branch.”
“Legacy Branch?” Amber raised her brow. “What is that?”
“It’s like… a second class, but different?” she hesitated.
There was a silence as Amber processed everything, before she decided to ask what she was thi...
The man before her was with the Arcane Council. The same group that had attacked Ax’thra, and now one of the members was standing in front of her. Amber looked at the man who was ready to fight and yet was still bleeding, his hand was shaking even though his voice remained steady.
Amber looked at the man’s staff once more and couldn’t help but ask.
“Are you going to use that staff to summon the Flametouched Demon?”
The man stood straight and smiled at her. “Well you are quite the sharp one, and the answer is yes. However, the actual sacrific...
“It just doesn’t make sense,” Liz said in a whisper. “They moved up the wedding for some reason, I also don’t recall any suitors from the Risnar family. For the Risnar family to want anything to do with us the Starkells is… strange.”
“So the Risnars are a big house ...
For a split second Amber considered trying to tank the Shadow Slashes, but all her senses told her she’d pay dearly for that. So she dashed to the side, using mana once more as the attack hit the wall. It narrowly missed her as a cross was carved into stone behind her. She heard the attack continue inside o...
2024-02-21 08:32:34 +0000 UTC View PostAmber couldn’t peel her eyes off from the massive walls circling the city. They were easily over a hundred meters tall, a great feat of architecture that she never thought possible, especially in a world like Vir — one she assumed was pretty medieval so far — however, she had clearly been wrong. S...
2024-02-19 07:59:47 +0000 UTC View PostAmber watched as bodies were burned. A pyre of them had been made, only wood surrounding the dozens of bodies that were in the pile, all set ablaze by Liz. The flames burned brightly in the night, reducing what had once been to ash and bringing it back to the earth. The atmosphere was a solemn one, as many ot...
