“You want me to train you in everything?” Liana sputtered. She’d jumped up from her comfortable armchair in the small salt-cavern when he’d asked the question. “That is not what I agreed to, Xavier Collins. You saved my life, and I’m grateful. Honour requires that I’m in yo...
2024-08-14 07:00:05 +0000 UTC View PostXavier’s mind worked swiftly.
He was high up in the air, mid-leap, his consciousness expanding through the insidious dark substance that had just tried to take over his mind.
He had taken over its mind in kind, but his control over the strange, interconnected entity was not full...
2024-08-13 07:00:09 +0000 UTC View PostXavier landed on the ground in a crouch, the dead Infected Stag nearby, the dark oozing substance still flooding out of it, crawling across the ground toward him with a life of its own. It wasn’t crawling very fast, but Xavier found he had to take a few steps backward lest it reach him.

It was the first time Xavier had seen anyone interact with the System in that way—he wondered if, perhaps, she had a different interface than he did, ...

Xavier, standing on the surface of the volcano, only a few feet away from a pool of lava, observed the battle between the Spirit of Vengeance and the Magma Bull.
It was beautifully brutal.
The Spirit of Vengeance swept through the air like lightning striking sideways. The Magma Bull, ...
2024-08-02 07:00:11 +0000 UTC View PostXavier’s eyes widened in panic.
Standing on the surface of the volcano, a bubble of time around him, he had thought he was safe. At least until he decided to deactivate the Time Alteration spell himself—but there were things he hadn’t known about the spell.
Things he couldn’t ...
2024-08-01 07:00:09 +0000 UTC View PostXavier sped through the forest. Instead of stopping to fight the beasts he came upon, he ran right past them. He could hear them pursuing him—or trying to. The beasts didn’t seem to want to get too far away from their respective territories, and he didn’t want to deal with them right now. 2024-07-31 07:00:11 +0000 UTC View Post
Xavier fought a little more than half a dozen more beasts on his way back to Hunter’s Home.
In the part of the forest that he was in, the beasts he kept encountering were the wolven packs and the Whiptailed Boars. He fought another pack and one more boar.
The fights had been rough. ...

2024-07-25 07:00:10 +0000 UTC View PostXavier stood across from the giant boar, staring it down through the trees. Two of Xavier’s most powerful spells had had no effect on the giant boar, but there were five wolven puppets that had yet to even enter the fight.

He hadn’t practiced with the spell, so he didn’t know yet how much he could manipulate the time bubble—whether he could make it smaller or larger with repeated use. The spel...

Purple mist shot from his staff and made its way to the beast. It didn’t need to cover much distance, what with how close the wolven was. Either the beast didn’t have a chance...

Facing the first wolven, he’d been holding back. He hadn’t cast his mo...
2024-07-17 06:35:40 +0000 UTC View PostXavier spent more time than he would like to admit staring at the different beasts on the notice boards. Though the notices had information on the beasts, they didn’t actually say what level they were, only what grade they were. That made it difficult for him to decide what an “easy” monste...
2024-07-16 07:00:11 +0000 UTC View PostXavier blinked, gripped his new Midnight Scythe tightly, and looked around the place that the System had taken him.
The one hundredth floor of the Tower of Champions.
A frown lined his forehead as his gaze trailed over the room.
Xavier was standing inside a tavern. It wasn’t a...
2024-07-12 06:00:08 +0000 UTC View PostXavier stepped back into the Staging Room.
It felt empty without the other members of his party. It was bigger, too. It had expanded, becoming even larger than it had when they’d returned to the tower. It seemed absurd that it would be this large just for him.
He slowly walked towar...
2024-07-11 06:23:38 +0000 UTC View PostXavier walked over to the wall of the Staging Room. He leant his back heavily against it, then he slid down to the ground. There were more notifications after the first one, but he was taking his time absorbing the first.

2024-07-10 07:00:03 +0000 UTC View PostXavier stood in the large cavern on the nineteenth floor of the Tower of Champions. The kraken had been slain with ease, and its corpse had floated to the top of the water.
Now, it was frozen in time, as everything else in the cave was.
But it hadn’t been Xavier who had frozen it. 2024-07-09 07:00:07 +0000 UTC View Post

2024-07-03 07:00:16 +0000 UTC View PostThe other Xavier didn’t say much after that. Apparently, that was all he had gone to all this trouble to tell him—that the universe was ending, and he was responsible for saving it.
