The Training Center was a large expansive building closer to the center of the Staging Facility than the ring of merchant shops. Nathan arrived with Kyle early and rented the space six hours early. For basic rent, it would cost him 12,000 points a day. That didn’t include the extra equipment, p...
2023-08-04 01:08:15 +0000 UTC View PostAfter a few days, I left and headed to the closest seventh realm dungeon. Serena was contacting the academy she spoke of to get me a special admission. It wouldn’t take long, so I’d use the time I had wisely.
I traveled in the simple garb of a young adventurer. Even though my pants and ...
2023-08-03 19:54:06 +0000 UTC View PostAfter wrecking fifty of the things, Nathan began having problems finding them in good number, so he called it a day. Once he returned, he gave the system the parameters he wanted his videos edited with then watched them before letting it post them.
A part of him feared they might not gain a...
2023-08-02 16:23:54 +0000 UTC View Post“She thought I was a suitor, yes.” Serena asked as she led me by the arm down and out of the house, then through her backyard and into the next property which I quickly learned also belonged to them.
“I’m not entirely sure,” I replied.
“What of Arusha?”
“I don’...
2023-08-02 16:22:36 +0000 UTC View PostNathan was able to return to his workouts as his body processed the last few poisons that attacked his cardiovascular system. Just as with his kidneys, liver, and digestive system, it had been tempered to the point that the poisons had lost much of their effectiveness.
Not to worry, the mos...
2023-08-01 15:35:12 +0000 UTC View PostHe’d expected a nice bonus from the system, but what Nathan found waiting for him when he checked the terminal in Googee’s shop exceeded his expectations.
Region Boss defeated.
Solo kill.
Within first week of initiation.

Making it to the west gate, Nathan found people quickly clearing the way for the bloody-faced guy in athletic shorts carrying a sheet-wrapped body. He began to gag on all the blood that had accumulated in his lungs. Finding a free spot on the wall just outside the city, he had a coughing fit. Blo...
2023-08-01 14:29:54 +0000 UTC View PostAs someone who had already spent ten years in the tower, Nathan had the perfect strategy prepared to face off with the Putrid Undead Cannibal. He knew exactly what he needed to do. As soon as it looked up at his approach, he charged.
The big-headed creature jumped off its perch and drew in ...
2023-08-01 14:07:00 +0000 UTC View PostNathan walked through the western gate into the ancient runes section of the first floor. The ginseng he found would eventually turn into a cash cow, but to earn some in the short term, there was no faster way than killing monsters. The common monsters in the ruins were the zombie-demons. They ha...
2023-08-01 13:42:10 +0000 UTC View PostI stepped through into another reception area. This one was surrounded by towering pillars that were square in shape and facing inward toward the income and outgoing portals node. I still hadn’t gotten used to how it worked, but before my time in the Netherplane, it had been a normal part of li...

It was then I noticed Prince Wildist sitting as far b...
2023-08-01 12:46:33 +0000 UTC View PostThe throne room might have reached from one side of the top floor to the other, but there was still a lot of room left for the thousands of demons living there. At the end of a long hall near the back corner of the floor, the Demon Queen led me to what I assumed were her chambers. There was a gua...
2023-07-31 12:13:52 +0000 UTC View PostAs he ran as fast as his body could carry him, Nathan took far more pulls at his pipe than he had earlier. The running should keep his core temperature up and the smoke push it even higher. His body was processing the qi too quickly to be in the same dangerous state as before, but he still felt t...
2023-07-30 14:33:04 +0000 UTC View PostThe party of four decided to make the hot springs their staging area, lumbering into the woods to hunt a few zombie-demons, then returning to rest. After returning the seconds time, the women had warmed enough to him to approach and offer to heal him. Kenya was the elf lady’s name, and she was ...
2023-07-30 14:18:27 +0000 UTC View PostIt was technically a someone. There were few enough orcs around with silver skin and a short fro for the average person to know if they were a person or a monster. The guy came crashing through the brush as he exited the treeline only to skid to a stop with a double-bladed battleaxe pulled back a...
2023-07-30 14:05:46 +0000 UTC View PostIt was time for heat tempering. There was more than one location Nathan had in mind. The southern gate was known as the Great Plains on the first floor, but if you went far enough south then you’d run into a desert. In some places it got more than 130 degrees F in the afternoon. The distance ma...
2023-07-30 13:50:10 +0000 UTC View PostAfter breakfast and getting more information about current affairs from the minister, I asked about the Grayson Tower. Even though it was a low-rank tower, the top floors had never been cleared. There had never been call by the Kingdom of Oren, so the adventurers with the strength to do so hadn...

“You want racks?” Googee asked, squinting questionably.
“Yes. Like a shelf, except you can change the height of each shelf and there’s nothing covering the back.”
“I know what a rack is. But why?”
“Because I...
2023-07-29 21:06:13 +0000 UTC View PostAbout halfway up one steep, grassy mountain side, he found the cavern he’d been looking for. There was no easy way to see it from the ground with a competing mountain face just across from it, but once you found the path it was clear enough.
Before he reached the entrance, he heard voices...
2023-07-29 12:04:28 +0000 UTC View PostHe arrived in a wide-open area like a town square. There were shrubs surrounding the cobblestone paved opening and many other people were porting in as he had just done. There were hundreds of people, but they were all spread out. He hadn’t even gotten his bearings when his eyes were drawn to a...
2023-07-29 11:05:56 +0000 UTC View PostHe didn’t remember firearms being worth so much, but he got 4,900 points for the 49 of them. With the other odds and ends, he ended up with 5,600. He’d returned to an old favorite shop of his called Googees. It was named after the alien elf-looking lady that owned it, and her name certainly w...
2023-07-29 09:52:32 +0000 UTC View PostOnce the food got there, nothing else mattered. I picked at my food at the beginning until I better understood what I liked. Once I knew, I kept the waiter busy bringing me orders of every kind of meat they had. There was meat from farm fed beasts and also monsters from the tower available. Inter...

When my gaze fell upon the lesser demons, they stopped in their tracks as if they had no choice. My a...

My strategy stayed the same for my next couple r...

2023-07-28 17:58:56 +0000 UTC View PostI wasn’t out long. If it was any longer, I would’ve been dead before I’d known I’d survived the fight. I woke with a pain flowing through my gut, chest, and shoulders. The flesh of my shoulders had healed better than the rest of my body. Flesh always healed faster than cartilage and bone....
