Yae marvels at the pristine city; there are so many people, so many different races. The white stone is immaculate, and the craftsmanship is really good. Wagons pulled by strange beasts, ones with horns on its head, ones covered in scales with a large beak, ones with four ears and no eyes.
It’s too much to take in. The hustle and bustle ...
2021-12-30 04:26:03 +0000 UTC View PostI breathe a sigh of relief. The Treant couldn’t take Vitality faster from the forest than it lost, and now the forest s free from it. A path of destruction is clearly visible; large swaths of the forest have been deforested turned into mulch. Even the ground has been churned up, at least it will make regrowth easy. The wooden spears knocked do...
2021-12-29 22:22:05 +0000 UTC View PostI wake up on the eve of my treant fight. I put on my clothes, sighing as my chest feels a little constricted; I’ll have to adjust it again. Going through growth spurts is annoying, and so is needing to adjust all of my clothes.
I have gone through the desert with Esofy and others, but it wasn’t very eventful. The group is very...
2021-12-27 21:22:50 +0000 UTC View Post“Keep the pressure up,” Esofy says as she jumps backward to dodge a swipe from the Felin Boss. Tana rushes forward with a blazing sword and cuts along the beast’s arm. It roars and tries to bite down on Tana, but she jams the shield in the large monster’s mouth; the sharp point on the bottom of the shield pierces the Boss’s tongue, mak...

2021-12-17 22:35:12 +0000 UTC View PostClass levels aren’t just a number; they are the limit on how much divinity a magic framework can hold. Or maybe it’s the opposite? Classes are limited by the skills, so maybe magic is limited by how much divinity there is? It’s all really confusing; I just don’t know, so I’m left trying to just guess which one comes first.
Let’...
2021-12-15 21:14:25 +0000 UTC View PostChapter Seven: ...The relationship of elements and essences is that of parent and child, respectively. The child is different, but similar. Rage essence is much like fire; it is a destructive essence that leaves one emotionally exhausted. However, this relationship doesn't stop there; rage essence has siblings, very similar, so similar that ...
2021-12-13 21:11:31 +0000 UTC View PostA couple of days after my first successful attempt at bridging the dungeon entrance, I finally have a clone on the other side.
Because Bond skills don't have magic frameworks, I had to use Bond spell crystals in the end; if the link stones worked, then why not spell crystals?
Esofy and the others are in the Slime Ruins, so I send my ...
2021-12-10 22:44:15 +0000 UTC View PostI scratch a copy of the magic circle that is my [Summoner's Beacon] skill into a copper plate.
Now what? I ask myself.
Simply making the image isn't going to do anything. There needs to be mana involved. Last time I simply ran mana through it.
I take control of the mana in the air using [Mana Manipulation] and make it ...
2021-12-08 22:32:06 +0000 UTC View PostThe new land is large, but it’s not a full continent. Rather, it's just a very large island, many, many times the size of the Nexus. I can see most of it, but my perception range can’t quite reach the whole thing, so there might be a lot more to it. I doubt that, though.
I can fully see the island's main mass, but it seems like land br...

They are Runalymo, but they look different; probably a subspecies, too related to us to actually qualify as a different race despite their physical traits diverging over time. But how did they end up there? Are they descendants of exiles? Or were they part of Kayafe's group that broke off...

As soon as I use [Summon Arms], bursts of mana zoom toward my [Fairy Soldiers], much like how [Fairy Empowerment] works. Each of my ‘soldiers’ form weapons – swords, spears, halberds, and more – as they receive the mana. This should allow their attacks to inject damaging mana into the enemy rather than just splashing the mana onto them, ...
2021-11-17 23:48:37 +0000 UTC View PostI stare at my magic frameworks, thinking about the nature of the system’s ‘points’. A tangential thought catches my attention: I can’t see any indication of tier for either Race or Class. It could just be that I don't have the right breakthrough, but it's also possible that the tier is more akin to a divine rank than something magical. I...
2021-11-15 21:45:37 +0000 UTC View PostEverything seems to shift slightly; the beauty mana around me wavers for a split second, as if doing a double-take. Next, I can feel my presence flow throughout the mana around me, carrying with it a feeling I can only describe as ‘authority’. Almost instinctively, I raise my arm, and the mana follows suit; I point to the wall in front of me...

2021-11-05 21:19:39 +0000 UTC View PostTo use a clairvoyant skill, one must feel out for what they are trying to sense; in my case it's mana, magic, and things related to magic, such as miasma. This means that I am imparting some sort of observational force, which might be what is being detected to trigger retaliation or trace back to me. The webs that the Arachnoid used probably cau...
