Bruno’s eyes met the gaze of the angry guard.
“Get out,” the man said, scowling at him.
He got up and started walking toward...
2024-04-11 13:22:47 +0000 UTC View PostI walked into the Guard’s house, and the first thing that greeted me was the smell of food. It smelled unusual. I didn’t recognize it as any dish I had ever eaten, but in any case, I didn’t care for it. I could feel my [Shapeshifting] trying...
2024-04-09 19:17:29 +0000 UTC View PostFreddy had come into this whole ordeal expecting to cruise through the pain quite easily. By anyone’s standard, his reaction to having his nerves scrambled, muscle tissue molded, and bones rearranged was tame, but he was surprised by how difficu...
2024-04-09 15:09:48 +0000 UTC View PostThroughout the five hours trapped in the cell, I did my best to listen in on the interrogation that was happening a few rooms over, where the guards were interrogating Bruno. Usually, I’d stand no chance of hearing anything, but perception at D-...
2024-04-08 14:51:07 +0000 UTC View PostThe arrival of the guards sparked total chaos. People screamed over one another, testimonies overlapping. My enhanced perception did wonders at allowing me to tell individual voices apart. A few were trying to take the bald man’s side, citing my...

2024-04-05 14:39:14 +0000 UTC View Post“Hey there, boy,” the man greeted me, looking somewhat concerned.
I stared at the man and replied, “Hello there, good sir!” I replied cheerfully. There was way less hesitation in my voice than I expected. And so far, I felt not...
2024-04-04 20:04:49 +0000 UTC View PostIt was disconcerting how long it took me to realize I was still standing almost entirely naked, nothing but cloth boxers covering my privates. It seemed that shame was something I had well and truly left in the past, and that thought was quite tro...
2024-04-04 12:28:54 +0000 UTC View PostI scanned over my available classes.
I had thought that being able to complete as many as I pleased would make the decision easier. It didn’t. If anything, it made it infinitely harder to choose. If I had only one option, I’d pretty much...
2024-04-03 14:58:02 +0000 UTC View PostI slowly opened my eyes. Above, the thick canopy of a forest greeted my sight, with a few rays of sunshine peering through, flickering as the lukewarm wind caressed the leaves. The sound of rustling, the light whistle of air, and the smell of loam...
2024-04-02 18:51:25 +0000 UTC View PostWhat stood before me, trapped within the massive mirror, was an absolute monstrosity. It was a three-meter-tall skeletal figure with coiling black horns and a thick layer of dried, pink flesh covering every bone on its body. Empty eye sockets gaze...

2024-03-26 16:24:16 +0000 UTC View PostFor the rest of that day, I simply traveled in a direction, running as fast as I could without exhausting myself. I picked up most of the larger rocks I came across, and although I had hundreds of them sitting in my inventory, they only filled a m...

2024-03-26 12:22:49 +0000 UTC View PostMost of my skills were pretty self-explanatory. I had no frame of reference for what the ranks meant in this world, but judging by the fact that my fist could leave dents in solid metal, I thought it was safe to presume that C-rank strength was pr...
2024-03-26 12:22:04 +0000 UTC View PostI was utterly frozen. No coherent thought could form in my mind as the pressure left me completely stunned.

2024-03-26 12:19:33 +0000 UTC View PostAs I found myself naked and running from a sword flying directly at me, I knew one thing. If that thing hit me, I would return to being pummeled. And if that happened, it was likely that I wouldn’t survive.
My thoughts accelerated to...
2024-03-26 12:18:20 +0000 UTC View PostAs soon as the creature turned its head to face me, I ducked back into the cave, taking cover. This time, I felt the fear quite clearly, and the fact that my life was in grave danger was hammered in even deeper when the giant sword flew into the c...
2024-03-26 12:17:17 +0000 UTC View PostI woke up sometime later. I found my body buried beneath a pile of rubble, some of which was pressing sharply against my torso, but I felt no pain. I was likely too numb to sense it.
Despite the lack of a light source, I could see the ...
