2024-02-15 18:00:25 +0000 UTC View PostOne clash in particular left a deep impression on her, as a girl that looked just as young as she was wielded a spear with such skill that Beth had a very difficult time keeping up. It felt like every time the young woman even twitched her hands B...
2024-02-14 18:00:03 +0000 UTC View PostThey had only gained one level during the whole course of the stage, but the bonus reward for placing highly gave them another two levels on top of that. That put the two of them at level one hundred ten, which was far higher than Beth expected th...

2024-02-12 18:00:02 +0000 UTC View PostOnce she had somewhat gotten used to the toxin, she carefully dug up the plants, having to exert quite an enormous amount of strength to even break the ground open. She had to resort to slamming the clawed tips of her fingers into the ground quite...
2024-02-08 18:00:04 +0000 UTC View PostThey made sure their keys worked on the room and everything was in order before turning right around and heading back out for the day. It was still morning, though it was about to hit noon, and they needed to at least get the lay of the land befor...

2024-02-06 18:00:02 +0000 UTC View PostThe fight took quite a while, due in large part to Dream Snake, as they were much slower and more methodical than Beth was used to being in battle. She wound up, even without Blood's assistance, killing nearly half the enemies herself, just becaus...

"These trees can take it, they're crazy sturdy," Liz replied. "It's very wet wood, as well, and it's been raining recently, so it's ev...
2024-02-01 18:00:06 +0000 UTC View PostBlood herself was having a bit of a harder time, but she thrived in it, the challenge that the monsters presented giving her a good opportunity to hone her skills. It was also a good chance to work on her Blood Queen's Claws, the ...

2024-01-29 18:00:18 +0000 UTC View PostThey were back in the array room in no time, rested and watered and fed, as well as bathed, having taken advantage of the massive tub in the bathroom of their suite. They signaled they were ready for the start of stage eighteen, and made their way...
2024-01-25 18:00:02 +0000 UTC View PostI know some of you read the posts in your emails; please take note that I was uploading the upcoming chapters this morning and accidentally set a chapter to early access for essentially everyone. I have since deleted that chapter, but it is likely...

2024-01-23 18:00:01 +0000 UTC View PostThe rest before they started round seventeen was just as long as Beth had imagined, taking a couple hours before she was ready to go again. She was a little frustrated that her healing and meditation skills weren't able to make the jump to Silver ...
2024-01-22 18:00:01 +0000 UTC View PostA four-on-two was a better situation, but it still certainly wasn't ideal, especially considering the strength of all four opponents was at the level of a dungeon boss monster. Blood had been conserving her mana a little, but had decided it was wo...

2024-01-17 18:00:01 +0000 UTC View PostThe next two weeks passed like that, with Beth working on her smithing, seeing it improve to Apprentice[7] under the guidance of several new Master-level craftspeople. Now that her skills were really kicking up, she had started to seriously consid...
2024-01-16 18:00:01 +0000 UTC View PostAfter reviewing the information, they looked over what the first packet had on Presences. It was largely as Beth had already started to figure out; a Presence was basically, at lower levels, a berserking skill. It provided a big boost in power in ...
2024-01-15 18:00:03 +0000 UTC View PostBlood tried both of the sets of boots, walking around the atrium in each of them to test the fit and her ability to walk, run, and jump. Beth marveled a little at how easily Blood had adapted to her human form, not really needing any time to figur...
2024-01-11 18:00:02 +0000 UTC View PostThey quickly returned to the room, eager to get away from both prying eyes and prying ears, not taking the Warder's lack of care for the norm. Once they were inside, Beth took another minute to look over Blood in her human form, admiring what her ...
2024-01-10 18:00:02 +0000 UTC View PostThe two had done quite a good job in thinning the herd as it approached the wall, with the defenders easily able to handle what flowed around them. Now they pulled back, back to the wall before leaping over it, clearing the field for a rest. Beth ...

2024-01-03 18:00:02 +0000 UTC View PostThey cleaned up the grull quickly after that, Beth injuring them and Blood easily finishing them off. Blood's teeth and claws were certainly sharp enough to rip apart the joints of the beasts without any help from Beth, and her fangs could penetra...
2024-01-02 18:00:03 +0000 UTC View PostBeth watched as their levels rose by another two, having gained one during the stage as well. Three levels wasn't amazing for a stage, but it wasn’t anything to sneeze at, and was still a lot better pace than what they'd likely be doing outside ...
