“Ugh, I never want to eat any fungus again,” Thera said as they got out the next day, the main base of every meal they ordered having been too much, even if most of it had ended up packed away after just a few bites. “This place needs a bit more variety to it.”

“I mean, we are und...

“Oh, neat, claustrophobia. I wasn’t expecting to experience any of that,” Ben muttered as they arrived, finding what was actually a fairly large space once they stepped through the gate. There was no risk of hitting his head on anything, the cave was a bit over two stories high and seemed t...

Standing in one of the newly made rooms, Ben was busy examining the overall structure while a family of jötunn watched with Thera and the guild master as he ran around, ensuring there were no hidden defects with the enchantments or building despite the confidence he had in the design before he f...

“Brrr,” Thera let out as soon as they passed through the gate to the next city beyond once morning came, a thick layer of snow covering it speaking of just how far north it was compared to the more temperate locations they usually spent their time. “Okay, this is something I would have like...

Side Story: A reaction to soul modification

Standing among the crowd, feeling squashed by the dense mass of bodies surrounding him, Verde couldn't help but wonder for the hundredth time just what he was doing.

His god, like so many others, had spread the word about a chance to grow stronger, to surpass his natural limits in some unna...

The next three walls went up just as easily, such a simple construction posing no challenge to the two by that point and let them for the first time take advantage of one of the perks of their station as they finished for the day, accepting the room from the guild as well as the offer of food as ...

December poll

Hey all, what a month it's been. So, first and most obviously, I don't have the side story up yet. I feel terrible about that and I am sorry. I expected to have enough of today to finish it and that just didn't work out, I will one hundred percent have it out tomorrow on the 28th. I am back at ho...

A step through to their first stop had Ben peeking in the minds around them for information to that city's guild, following the route he’d taken to lead the two of them to its doors and finding one twice the size of Stonewall’s, which actually meant it was on the smaller end of things. Stonew...

Slight delay with side story + poll

Hey everyone, just wanted to give an update that the side story and poll probably won't be posted till the 27th of this month. Usually I try to have it up by the 25th at the latest so I'm really sorry about this, I did not properly prepare for the holiday season as well as I thought I did so it's...

Entering the office, it was easy for Ceselee to see the stark difference between the two. One with pure excitement in her eyes in wonder over what they’d been called for while the other looked like they wanted to be anywhere else, Ben feeling no need to hide that fact as they took their seats.<...

There really is no fairness in the world.

While Fontesh had made out well from what she’d gained from the surgery, acquiring not only a plant inclination but also mana recovery rate enhancement, her daughter had still walked away with more. A level to her own mana recovery rate e...

“So, time to finally reach the logical conclusion of everything you’ve been doing and leave your daughter genuinely related to you,” Thera teased as they made their way to the dryad gate. “I should have known this day was coming eventually. Do you think she’ll try calling you dad, even ...

Alone in the dark once more, Twan’cha waited for what would come next. His death had been horrifying; being sealed away, a humiliation. But then came the plucking. An inescapable torture on his imprisoned mind, slowly driving him mad.

When it had been happening, he’d felt stretched out,...

“You know, I just want to say that the idea of doing this without any of my family present is horrifying to me,” Thera told him as they sat within Stonewall’s church for Ben’s god, waiting for their test subjects to show up. “Why again are we doing this?”

“It’s going to be d...

December holidays

Hey all, I mentioned it in the last poll but I'm going to be on vacation for the next two weeks visiting extended family so there's a chance posting hours might be a little weird. If it looks like I'm going to miss posting for a day for whatever reason then as always, I'll try to give you guys a ...

CH989 Thera's Perspective

Flying through the woods, Thera hopped between both the stone platforms and mana constructs that carried her, feeling on top of the world.

Everything just felt more natural. Her mana moved at her will, and she felt even less reliant on her staff than even awakening her magics had left her. ...

“Come on now, it’ll be okay,” Ben said, more for the comfort of Mirrian and Kalley as they were led through one of his mini-gates to Stonewall, even if it drew the eyes of the other four with them as well.

“You just have these?” Woszan asked in wonder, the high priestess of their ...

Breaking into Sachel’s house since she wasn’t home to let him in herself, Ben made use of the gate hidden within, walking through to find Mora and Fontesh happily snacking while Delair sat to the side, clearly dejected.

“Hey there, sorry for barging in. Is something going on?”

CH986

<Alright, they’re ready and expecting you whenever you want to head over.>

Making my way now. Ben answered as he walked into the world’s gate network, passing through to reach his ultimate destination of the siren’s capital and the main church of their god where three i...

In Stonewall’s training ground, Ben ignored the small crowd around them, watching as he and the two kids put the finishing touches on what they were building while he gave the final instructions.

“Delair, grease the pivot a bit, it doesn’t seem like it will be smooth enough. Mora, loo...

CH984 Thera's Perspective

“I’d been expecting a change in your intelligence, but I’m not sure if this is more or less than I thought you’d get,” Ben thought aloud as he read over her card. “About an extra thousand points added to it.”

“I think an extra thousand to any attribute is going to be plenty,...

CH983 Thera's Perspective

Getting up for breakfast, for the first time in the longest while, Thera found it was just the two of them, giving Ben a curious look that asked the question by itself.

“I took Mora over to Fontesh’s early so she could watch him for the day,” he explained. “Didn’t want Delair wast...
