Chapter Thirty - 030
This took longer than usual. Partly due to the events in it, and partly due to anxious distraction out there in the world.
Regardless, hope you all enjoy.

Working on the next chapter, but with all the EVERYTHING going on, it's hard to get time and focus. I'll have Chapter 30 out as soon as possible.
Thanks for reading!

Vessilia Dayne was not having the greatest of days.
Battered and bruised, the pain woke her more than anything else. She lacked the Pain Resistance Skill and she regretted it dearly. Agony lanced across her limbs and lower...

Harn scowled.
Things weren't going how they were supposed to.
The fog rolled, thick as ever, but now it covered a treacherous ground covered in ice. Ever since they entered these city ruins, bigger and bigger chunks of the...

Reign of Vellus!
Felix exploded with azure light, the force of the upgraded Skill discharging into actual bolts of lightning as it sheared into the Arcids beside him. But they were heavy, far heavier than anything he ha...

The garden was immense.
The door behind him was built into a thick stone wall heavily carved into rigid geometric designs, but after a dozen feet in any direction, the stone was completely consumed by greenery. The uneven flagst...

For a minute, Felix just laid on the ground.
He was so damn tired. And thirsty.
Waaghk. So thirsty.

Yeah, that makes sense.

While the wurms seemed taken aback for a moment, Felix checked his Health. He had lost nearly 10% from his landing and his left ankle twinged painfully, even through his resistance. Still, he smirked at the wurms as if he was fine and...

"Haah, haah."
His heavy breathing filled the small cave. Felix collapsed on his knees in the center of the chamber, as far from any wall as he could manage. The Wurmlings liked to tunnel out of any wall he leaned against, so res...

It took five hours to find the cave.
Felix's uncanny memory led him true, but the strange fog that pervaded Balfur's recollection confused him. There was no sign of it. The forest was the same as always, full of a variety of tre...

Late afternoon in the Foglands was no better than full dark. The soupy murk of mist occluded everything around them; even their torches, burning bright, were barely enough to penetrate the dense covering. Sounds echoed and stretched s...

Felix rolled to his feet, small cuts all over his arms and face from another exploding stone pillar.

In the grey light of dawn, on the sixteenth day of summer, Magda Aren found herself on the Haarwatch wall overlooking the approach to the Foglands. Thick, land-bound clouds drifted and swirled amidst the shadows of winter-bare trees, ominous in wh...

Halfway up the cliff, Felix nearly smacked himself in frustration.
He had fifteen free stat points to spend. If there ever was a time to stay ahead of the curve, it was when he was expecting an ambush. Wedging himself against the rock face, ...

After the lights faded, the grove seemed pitch black in comparison.
Felix blinked afterimages out of his eyes, only to see the Orit's toothy maw inches from his own. He fell backward with an undignified yawp. Blood and mud splashed up his ar...

He felt bad as he walked away from the Henaari explorer. After all the help they had inadvertently given him, Felix felt they deserved a proper burial, not to be just left in the woods.
When I come back, he promised him...

The first room was filled with empty stone shelves. It was narrow, probably ten feet wide between the heavy shelves on either side. It seemed like a pantry or larder, storage in any case. However, the shelves were empty of anything, e...

Felix hit the ground and tumbled backwards onto the hard stone floor. Head swimming and aching from that full body push, he stumbled to his feet with his new sword in an awkward grip.

The sword looked like it was made of bronze, and had a weird curved shape. It was straight near the hilt, then it bowed outward in a distinct curve. Like an axe, or something. The hilt was a simple cross guard, and the handle wrapped ...

Felix plummeted into a raging river.
He tumbled, ass over teakettle, the water surging around him violently. He briefly saw the surface, but was so disoriented that he couldn't tell which way he had to swim. The water around him...

Everything went dark.
You have gained a Memory from a Copse Grub! Would you like to review it now?

After bashing the grub's face with a rock over a dozen times, the pincers finally came loose. At first Felix was worried they'd be damaged by such harsh treatment, but after being delicate did nothing except slice his fingers, he reso...

Flesh still sizzling uncomfortably and clothing finally ruined, Felix sat behind some trees and chewed yarrow while attempting to meditate. He was too distracted though. He was furious with himself.

For the second time in a day, he woke on a beach.
A firetruck blared into his ears, a cacophony of bells that rattled his sore head. He groaned and tried to roll over, covering his head with his arms. The tangy scent of his waterlogged...
