Eleniah laughed for a while. Like, a while. Her laughter was loud and gleeful, like a child discovering fireworks or something equally awesome for the first time. A few times when she ran out of breath, Kay heard her gasp out a few words. Words like, “…can’t believe…”, “…so much fun!”, and “…finally found…!”.

“Don’t you yell at me!” Eleniah snapped back at him.
“It’s been three months and he hasn’t upgraded to tier two! It takes less than one for the average person to do that! What have you been doing?!” The gno...
2021-07-27 14:00:01 +0000 UTC View PostKay trooped into the Adventurer’s Guild, covered in blood and with seven heads in a sack, one of them a wolf’s. A few of the other adventurers glanced over and took in the sight of him, but they quickly lost interest. People covered in blood with oddly bulging bags wasn’t an uncommon sight here.
He’d originally planned to back to E...
2021-07-26 14:13:04 +0000 UTC View Post“Don’t. Die” Eleniah insisted, emphasizing each word with a poke at his chest.
“I’ll do my absolute best.” Kay promised. It was time for his first job without Eleniah watching over him. The months in between his first job and now had cemented his new identity as an adventurer, at least to himself. What had started off being jus...
2021-07-26 14:11:30 +0000 UTC View PostKay accepted the pouch of money and thanked the guild employee before walking over to Eleniah, who was waiting nearby.
“Done?” She asked him.
“Yeah, paid in full.” He held up the pouch and jingled it. “I finally have enough.”
Eleniah smiled back and him. “Then lets go buy an enchanted flask.”
Kay led the w...
2021-07-26 14:08:51 +0000 UTC View PostThe merchant that bought Outworlder stuff had actually been really interested in the random items Kay had in his pockets when he arrived in Torotia. Kay had kept his clothes, a few things from his wallet, and his phone that had important photos on it. He hoped someday to figure out a way to charge it so he could look at them often.
In the ...
2021-07-26 14:07:07 +0000 UTC View Post“Melee weapons?” Kay asked, looking around at the multiple weapon racks in the back yard.
Eleniah nodded. “Right! Since your range is only a few meters right now, you’re probably never going to be much of a medium or long range combatant. If you need to be close up to use you magic, we might as well add some weapons into your arsen...

“Really?” The bearded man sitting behind the solid looking desk smiled. “I’m interested already. How fun.” The guildmaster turned his head to the side and shouted, “Jaira!”<...
2021-07-26 13:43:58 +0000 UTC View PostSeated once again in the comfy chair across from Douglas’ desk, Ky watched as said gnome ran around his office, pulling the curtains closed and locking the door.
“What is going-”
“Wait! Wait!,” Douglas waved his hands around wildly. “One more thing!” He ran back to his desk and pulled out another device of some kind, th...
2021-07-26 13:40:23 +0000 UTC View PostKay couldn’t describe what he was feeling. There were no words to describe the sensation. It didn’t hurt, or itch, or tingle, or… anything. It just was. The feeling lasted for what felt like an eternity, but as his eyes opened and he saw Douglas rushing up to him, he realized it had only been a few seconds.
Kay was slumped backwards ...
2021-07-26 13:39:51 +0000 UTC View Post“Douglas?” Captain Armis’ voice was cold and collected. “What are you doing?”
“Keeping you from killing my charge unnecessarily.” Douglas replied in a similar tone.

2021-07-26 13:39:10 +0000 UTC View PostThe building they ended up stopping at was the city guard’s headquarters for the district they were in. It was made of the same stone as every other building in the area and was a large square shape, taking up almost the entirety of a block in the center of the district.
Inside the building they had to stop at a checkpoint. Springcall to...
2021-07-26 13:38:15 +0000 UTC View PostThe room Kay had been give to sleep in was meant as a temporary place to sleep for new Outworlders. The BOA’s mandate was to give Outworlders the necessary knowledge and tools to create a new life for themselves, not just coddle people. Kay was expected to eventually start making his own money and find a place to live for himself.

2021-07-26 13:37:44 +0000 UTC View PostKay froze. “What?”
“Huh?” Springcall glanced back at him. “Oh, right. Yeah, I’m not originally from this world either. One of the requirements to be a Representative for the Bureau is to be an Outworlder.

2021-07-26 13:37:10 +0000 UTC View PostKay stared up at the building. He’d been expecting something… fantasyish. Something suitable to an international organization that dealt with people from other worlds. He didn’t expect a stone building that looked like every other building around it. It was in one of the better parts of the city, but it looked almost identical to the shop ...
2021-07-26 13:36:09 +0000 UTC View PostSitting on the extra horse the Oaken Five had brought for him to ride, surrounded by the five adventurers as they headed down the road, Kay was very glad for the random horse riding trips Noah had insisted they go on over the years. He knew he’d be sore tomorrow, but at least he wouldn’t be as bad off as a complete amateur.
“Alright,...

“I don’t give two silver for who you do or don’t take orders from!” The armored man from the second group chimed in. “I just know that you can’t take us on. Leave.”
“But we don’t need to fight you!” Coultron shouted, “We just need to grab… Where ...
2021-07-26 13:35:07 +0000 UTC View PostPushing off the ground and wiping the dirt off his pants and back, Kay ignored the screen floating in front of his face as he desperately tried to calm down. Eyes closed, he took a few deep breaths before opening his eyes and looking at the screen.
“Alright, in moments like this, it’s best to ask, what would Raph do?” Kay asked himse...
2021-07-26 13:34:08 +0000 UTC View PostLooking around, Kay was, to be frank, really pissed off at what he was seeing. Spread around him was a fairly beautiful field of green grass, interspaced with nice flowers of varying colors. A few hundred yards off behind him was the start of a forest that kept going as far as he could see, and very far off in the distance ahead he could see the...
