Blade guided the bulk of the group deeper into the facility. The hallway they were taking was very long, much longer than any sensible person would create for a place like this. Maybe it had something to do with how the roots would spread around t...

Hey everyone. I'm really sorry for missing the last couple of days. I'm struggling a bit with some personal stuff. I'll talk more about everyhing once it's over, but hopefully I can pick up the pace soon.

The entire group was waiting in the elevator. No one had been left behind, and no one had noticed them getting there. Or at least, there were no signs that the humans had noticed them. Whether they had been seen or not was still a toss-up. They wo...
2024-12-05 10:52:25 +0000 UTC View PostWith the Ice Devil dead, I fell to my knees, only to quickly get up again as the cold started to sting my limbs.
"Fuck, this is cold," I gasped, noticing most of my skin was turning ashy. Some parts were even turning purple, which didn’t m...
2024-12-04 09:54:20 +0000 UTC View PostSirlo walked to the center of the camp. Everyone who was taking part in the operation was already waiting for him. He took a look around, making sure no one was missing before he started.
"Everyone, listen up. We are starting the operation i...
2024-12-03 08:20:27 +0000 UTC View Post"I still can't believe you figured that out," Sirlo gasped as they walked back to the camp.
"Honestly? Me neither. But I felt it was a good idea when it crossed my mind," Hera smiled.
"It really was. I just hope Al won’t feel bad abo...
2024-12-02 09:49:11 +0000 UTC View PostOnce the snow hit my staff and I was pushed back by the sheer force of the tsunami, I knew how heavy snow could truly be. During my childhood, there were a handful of times when a large clump of snow fell from a tree and landed directly on top of ...
2024-12-01 07:25:46 +0000 UTC View PostHera went into a spiral for a few minutes, worrying about the ramifications of her presence in this operation. She got so distracted that she didn’t even notice when Vyra crossed back through the doorway from the other side.
"Hera?" the ha...
2024-11-29 09:23:19 +0000 UTC View PostWe were staring down the Ice Devil, which had just stood up. There were no two ways about this. We were going to have to fight it if we wanted to escape. And I really hated that idea. The creature was massive, and it was clearly higher level than ...
2024-11-28 09:15:13 +0000 UTC View PostOnce the teams left the agency, they continued moving for a few days. They had already gone dark, meaning no one was able to send messages to anyone outside of this operation. The only moments when they got any information about what was going on ...
2024-11-26 09:38:38 +0000 UTC View Post"Morning," Astrid said once I woke up.
"Good morning. Actually, Sys, what time is it?" I asked.
[It is currently 4:13 p.m.]
"So, good afternoon," I smiled.
"How?" Astrid frowned as she put her axe to the side.
"The Sy...
2024-11-24 08:53:53 +0000 UTC View Post"Okay everyone, settle down. This is the last meeting we're going to have before you leave. I'm not going to go over the plan again since everybody's already sick of hearing it, but I am going to talk about the expected threats you're going to fin...
2024-11-23 06:58:25 +0000 UTC View PostFor the next couple of days, Blade kept teaching Hera’s Court how to connect spells and skills. The process was simple in theory—all it required was copying the mana signature from the skill into the spell. But that was nowhere near as simple ...
2024-11-22 10:45:28 +0000 UTC View PostOnce the duel was over, everyone headed back to the central room. They still had a day without any additional arrivals, and another two before the full team was assembled. This meant that, for the rest of the day, they could rest and prepare for t...
2024-11-21 10:40:38 +0000 UTC View PostBefore checking the skill I gained after eating the bear’s leg, I decided to check my level. This ended up being a big one. My spare point went to Mind, but I also got one extra Memory slot and an extra point of Energy, finally reaching ten. Tha...
2024-11-21 04:56:35 +0000 UTC View PostKa'mal led the group down a side corridor to a wide, open area that could be used as an arena. It was originally meant to be a place to test various abilities and, to a certain degree, the teamwork of those involved in the operation. The elf was u...
2024-11-20 08:18:02 +0000 UTC View PostWe had to run from our location with the two bear arms in hand. By the sounds around us, it was clear more monsters were getting closer. If everything went well, they would be distracted by the bodies we left behind instead of chasing us.

2024-11-18 09:14:05 +0000 UTC View PostKa’mal grabbed his tablet and displayed a presentation on the big screen. It showed a central structure surrounded by eight rings.
“This is a representation of the lab. This square in the center is the actual building. The rings are the ...
2024-11-16 06:11:38 +0000 UTC View PostAstrid was now level 8, just two levels away from Tier 1. Even then, ideally, she would get a few more levels to gain skills for her new class before we could fight the Ice Devil. So, our priority stayed the same: finding a way to leave this place...
2024-11-15 10:03:11 +0000 UTC View PostOnce they arrived at the Agency, they had a chance to rest properly before heading to a meeting. Since they were a day ahead of schedule, there was no rush, but the Harmony Guardians decided not to wait too long. After a meal and a shower, they we...
2024-11-14 08:48:58 +0000 UTC View PostOnce the Harmony Guardians got the message from the Agency, they left the room. It had already been a day since the humans retreated, leaving only a handful of stragglers behind. According to reports, the same was happening in the two adjacent roo...
2024-11-12 20:28:05 +0000 UTC View PostWe ran from the bear’s corpse, being careful not to encounter another of those monsters in the tunnels. Even if neither of us was injured during that last fight, it was only due to the sneak attack. The bear was sleeping when it was struck. Not ...

Hey everyone. I'm really sorry about this week. It was one thing after the other. Had to pick up people from the airport, internet problems, and then yesterday a power outage x.x
There is a lot more going on and that...
Inside the tent, Hera looked around. Everything was a strange shade of green, thanks to the smoke coming out of the human's backpack. Despite being an Ophidianite for a while already, using her infrared sight was still a bit odd. Either way, she c...
2024-11-07 12:22:29 +0000 UTC View PostAs Hera and Vash approached the humans, they were finally able to take a good look at the team members. It was a group of five in total. Three of them radiated an energy that clearly came from strength mana. Their almost glowing red skin, unsucces...
2024-11-05 09:15:19 +0000 UTC View PostMaking the bonfire was more trouble than expected. It took ages to gather enough wood and set it up in the right way so it would burn. As if that wasn’t enough of an issue, the ice wood, as I was calling it, took a long time to ignite. Even if t...
2024-11-03 06:44:01 +0000 UTC View PostHera and the Harmony Guardians rushed out of their tent. It was very strange to think that the humans were attacking the camp. Any team that tried to get here would be sandwiched between two armies. Even if part of that army would need to cross a ...
2024-11-01 05:31:33 +0000 UTC View PostGoing back to where I left Astrid was easier than I was expecting. There was a specific feeling here that guided me to that room we were hiding in. Namely, the cold. It wasn't something that caught my attention at first, but it was pretty obvious ...

"Pretty much. But instead of having to pay some points back, you're just going to stay without a new skill for longer. Like, a lot longer," Hera nodded. The two of them were in t...
