Oh, this day can’t get any fucking worse!

It wasn’t hard to pick up on what happened, there was only one space mage currently gunning for him and the idea that Rook had found him and teleported behind to attack wasn’t unbelievable, even if it was still outrageous. With his th...

“What the heck is weeping?” Ben muttered to himself in curiosity, with Abel holding out her hand.

“Food first, questions after.”

“Okay, okay, fine.”

A deal was a deal and the fact that she seemed willing to answer his questions made him a lot more motivated to get on...

CH686

With the decision made, the room began to clear with Rook thankfully being among the first to leave while Yuzu walked over to join them.

“I wasn’t expecting to see you guys.”

“And we weren’t expecting you’d be alone. No chaperones? No Jake and Amy?”

“They’re al...

CH685

The room was once more divided with that statement between those who were aware and those who weren’t, with the majority who seemed to know coming from the aquatic side since that was where the murders took place.

Of the terrestrial, it seemed there was a lot more shock. Falk at the very ...

“Hold on,” Rook spoke, still smirking while he eyed Ben. “There’s something that needs to be addressed here. This isn’t a daycare, you can’t just bring any random kid along to it.”

“...Do you have an issue you’d like to present then?” Killi asked, her tone speaking of he...

CH683

There wasn’t much rest to be had that night. After finding Falk and filling him in on exactly what happened and spending what felt like far too many hours going over it with some embassy employees who didn’t wake up that day expecting to have to deal with an incident involving the daughter of...

CH682

Like seemingly everywhere else in the world that had an invasion point within sight, the city had been largely deserted after the coming of the second wave. There were subtle signs of damage all around to match those empty streets too, with the occasional collapsed building or sign of violent mag...

“Sold, let’s go.”

Falk didn’t need to say any more, Ben was already grabbing his arms to pull him and Thera along, eager to get there.

How could he not be? To his knowledge, the world had eleven awakened skill holders and he knew five of them, he wasn’t going to turn down a ...

“So this is fucking impossible.”

It hurt to admit but even after working through that day and night and on into the next from there, he still couldn’t figure out how to build an enchantment that would be able to materialize mana once power was poured into it, the blow being all the gr...

“So, things went smoothly then?” Myriad asked him, with Ben shrugging in return.

“Enough at least. We got both the terrestrial and aquatic groups done and despite contributing to Jake’s future suffering I’ve got no complaints. So when do I get to have my fun?”

“You’ll ...

“Man, work really never ends, does it?”

“If you want it to, you really need to stop making such crazy things,” Thera told him. “At least it will be some good practice for me too.”

It seemed that arrangements had been quick for one of his inventions, with plans to have more...

CH677 Thera's Perspective

No Ben this morning.

Ever since he got back he’d been constantly busy, driven in a way that seemed more frantic than it had in the past that couldn’t help make her worried, with the worst part being that he wasn't telling her everything.

She was sure that something he’d...

“So, you one hundred percent just awakened your evil inclination,” Thera said as they flew off, leaving the ruins of Eneth’s church along with the broken and bleeding priests as they went. “I honestly thought I was going to get a level of sacrilege just watching that.”

“Ugh, you...

Felth stared at the necklaces on the ground, conflicted. He was being offered a chance. A chance to finally break that cursed connection between the two of them, a chance to stop dancing in the palm of Ben’s hand, maybe even a chance to kill him if he was lucky enough. All chances he didn’t w...

CH674

Flying through the sky, Thera by his side while he sat firmly in the cart she was carrying, Ben was doing his best to block out the world around him, instead losing himself in his focus.

Now that his attributes, and most importantly, his intelligence, had all leveled up by so much from the ...

CH673

Ben was practically skipping off to Anailia as the day started, his joy unable to be contained.

Seventy percent. His attributes had all grown by seventy percent by the time he’d woken up. It was a result far better than he’d been hoping for given all he’d already put his pieces of bon...

CH672

He felt himself growing a bit faster with each step as his potion coursed through him, still improving his attributes while he went and continuing on until he stood outside of the library for his next target, taking a calming breath and letting himself in.

Just as empty as his last visit, t...

You all have chosen mercy and I could not be more grateful. Not to come on too strong but I love you. Look forward to august when I post every day for the month and then I’ll be back in october to give you guys the rest of the chapters owed. I've been burning the midnight oil making...

Side Story: Tenth on a new world

The sky is so vast.

That was the thought that filled Tenth’s head more than anything else as he was led down the streets from where he’d been awakened.

More than the strange, giant buildings and unfamiliar red trees that towered around them, more than the alien people of ...

Chapter 671

He was instantly running, not caring about how he looked while he beelined to the guild, with Myriad talking to him the entire time.

<Ben, explain what’s going through your head to me already. You know how hard it is to read your mind when you’re thinking thousands ...

“You really are trying to turn yourself into a monster, you know that?” Myriad sighed. “Nobody awakens skills after only a couple days of having them Ben, nobody.”

“Sure they do, I’m right here. Besides, if I’m really under a fourth-tier job then a second-tier awakening has to...

CH669

Even utilizing his clones, the work had taken far longer than he’d hoped, just from how many people there were to talk to and distribute potions among along with the fact that he kept them around for another half hour after for Thera to observe only making thing longer and keeping them from thi...

“Oh, no freaking way,” Ben said as he ran over, examining the small shrub for all it was worth. “Since the seed was materialized as is this has to technically be a homunculus! Oh man, I didn’t even think of this! Fontesh, you are brilliant, you know that? This is going to work so well! It...

“My grandmother is never going to accept that,” Sachel instantly told him, even without knowing what his reason behind it was. “I’m sorry Ben, I can try to talk her into it if you have a good reason but even then I honestly can’t imagine I’d be able to convince her.”

“Well, ...

“There’s already gods requesting you make more of those bracelets,” Myriad told him that night. “By the way, thanks for the advertising.”

“Thought you would like that and will do, I’m slowly filling up my spatial rings when I have the spare mana for it and when I’m in the sh...

CH665

Walking into the hospital Thera had been slaving away at that evening, getting strange looks from the receptionist along with a few of the less critical patients waiting at the front from the large sack he was carrying over his shoulder, Ben went to the front with a smile, ignoring the rest aroun...

Ten points to my mana baby! Freaking double what I was expecting!

<The divine of this world are all collectively worse for this fact.>

Oh, hush you, it’s fine. It’s not like I’ll get the chance to try it from any other god anyway. Sadly, not many of them seem ...
