CH392 Iberu's Perspective

“So what did you think of him?”

“He’s brilliant,” Naloth sighed. “I’d do anything to bring him into my fold if I could. The things we could accomplish, who cares if he can only use some obscure non-affinity branches? I feel lik...

CH391

So this is the tower, huh? Ben thought as he stood before the giant trial, taking it all in.

It was just as large as any of the magic towers, though it had a few key differences to go along with it. Instead of there being a single d...

CH390 Thera's Perspective

“And that’s everyone done,” Thera sighed as she leaned her head on Sonya’s arm. “How long do you think till this place starts to fill up again?”

“I’m sure it won’t be truly full until the wounded start being rushed in. Sinc...

“You look terrible.”

“Thanks for that.”

“I’m serious. Did you sleep even a little bit last night?” Thera asked, looking at Ben’s exhausted form with blatant worry.

“Technically.”

“So you were up all ni...

CH388

Opening his eyes after leaving the archive, Ben couldn’t help but let out a disappointed groan before letting his mind out of it.

“So it looks like that also failed.”

In the hours spent flying from the dryad’s village back to t...

As the two notifications went off in his head, Ben let out a slow, drawn-out breath as he felt the change to his mind, the entire forest he was connected...

“Alright, are you feeling better now?” Thera asked, trying to gently smile at the child before her as he beamed back brightly.

“I am. Thank you miss healer!”

Hearing that, her smil...

As morning came, Ben woke up, only to find Delair already at the ready to help him put together breakfast for everyone, eager to practice what she’d been shown only the night before as he watched from the side, prepared to step in at a moment's ...

CH384

“Alright, since I’m here let me handle dinner,” He told Fontesh as they got back to her home. “Since Delair was showing off that she got the crafting skill does she have any practice with it?”

“A little,” Fontesh said with a sm...

After another hour of enchanting, he finally finished all of the tree collars and let himself get set up for potion making, pulling out everything he’d brought for the act as he pulled out a mortar and pestle to show to Delair.

“Alright,...

CH382

With agreement received, Ben wasted no time getting to the nitty-gritty of what he needed to have to finish up the plant collars while he waited for the wood to be collected.

“So who in the village would you say has the highest level of pl...

CH381

It was a short week later that Ben and Thera were flying through the skies, one of them tensed in fear as the other only seemed tired.

“I still say this is insane,” Thera told him, how many times she’d brought her concerns up being imp...

“...So anyway, helping with the rest of the setup wasn’t too bad, but then we were left trying to get back to a gate all by ourselves!” Sachel complained. “Couldn’t you have arranged anything like the trip out there?”

Author’s noteynote

It’s not often I do this but I feel an intense need to explain myself for this chapter so there will be my thoughts on it and what I’m going for at the end of it if you want to see where my heads at. I don’t think ...

CH378

In the second church of Myriad, Ben stood and waited, admiring the structure he’d put so much work into designing as he did.

He was in the main hall, the public area that wasn’t locked away to hold his spare books and supplies where anyo...

Another poll time!

Hello hello, hope everyone's doing well and ready for this months poll.

So you might have noticed it's a bit longer than usual. Typically I give four options, but I was feeling like getting a bit crazy with it. After all, I've been doing thi...

First things first, need to prepare. Ben told himself as he pulled out his personal job crystal when he got to the shop, before destroying the enchantment on it, leaving him with nothing but a plain rainbow mana crystal in its place.

CH375 To learn for others, 80 days remaining

As he cooked breakfast, the day ahead of him planned out in his mind, he stopped briefly with the feeling of both arms and tail wrapping around him, a face pressed into his back.

“Smells fantastic,” Thera spoke, sounding only a little gr...

CH374 A visitor’s greed, 100 days remaining

Nothing like the smell of money in the air. Eudut thought happily to himself as he made his way through a town that was basically in the middle of nowhere as far as he was concerned.

Stonewall, an unremarkable place that was five da...

“Well, didn’t that go great?” He asked as he turned to his companions, with Thera seeming to mostly agree while the other three were left with complicated expressions painted across their faces. “What? Did that not go great?”

They could still hear the sounds of movement behind them as stone continued to rush by, not stopping just because they’d reached the end as all of them stared at the doorway to the last and final section of the tower, each preparing to face what...

The second he stepped foot through the door he had to stop himself from taking another as he swung his arms out, holding the people by his side back from going over the narrow ledge in front of them, into a hail of oncoming earth bullets before an...

CH370

“What?” She asked him, not able to believe he’d fight her on that. “What do you mean you think we should keep going? Ben, we beat three floors so we can at least get a very good blessing and not have to worry about you almost dying again. ...

Pre-chapter author's note

Just saw I misnumbered the last chapter, my bad everyone, should be fixed now. Also sorry this is going up a bit later than usual. I have family in town and I didn't think they'd keep me too busy but things have bee...

CH368 Thera's Perspective

“Isn’t this just a game over for us then?” Jake asked. “If our spells are just going to keep getting cancelled then we’re kind of fucked. Even if Amy has another sword and shield on hand, she can’t handle everything alone.”

CH367 Thera's Perspective

Thera silently watched Ben from the side as he modified some of his sticky pads to give himself more space bombs as she tried to handle all of the emotions filling her. He’d almost died because she wanted to do the trial just to get a little mor...

“Man, I’m a smith, and an artist, and an alchemist, and a woodworker, and a stoneworker, and a cook, and an enchanter, and whatever else I can squeeze out of my crafting skill,” Ben muttered to himself. “And you know what all of those thin...

He didn’t have time to pick up his bag, nor the leeway to reload his gun as he ran with everything he had, pushing beyond his limits to get to Yuzu, the girl firmly cornered by the false golems surrounding her before it was too late.
