The Safari Resort, Etson - 9:32 AM
I was happy to see the Safari Resort thriving when I finally made it to the office district. Just like Etson Square during the day, people were in constant motion. Those just leaving looked nervous but refreshed from their time ...

“A Dryad? Really?” Sara asked as she wrinkled her nose. “Saving the Kobolds, absolutely, but Dryad rituals?”
“The passive is really worth it, okay? It’ll get me out of trouble a few times,” I defended. She turne...

“The evidence is pretty damning, isn’t it?” the alligator asked.
I only grunted in response. My hands were still on the counter, but it was invisible to my eyes. Everything was different, actually. The room around us changed en...

I woke up to the sound of banging. My eyes shot open and I looked about the room, but nothing seemed out of the ordinary. My outfit was still on the sofa near the door, all in one piece now thanks to the luxury washer that came with th...

The walk back was an uneventful trudge. The Writhing Belt Whip was passed from Kayla to Jeff, then to Corwin where it miraculously worked like a collar, and then back to me. Everyone was topped up by the time we neared the camp, thoug...

“Don’t worry, Jeff,” I said as I started walking forward. “Once I start fighting it, it’ll double down its focus on me.”
“I’m not worried,” he said unconvincingly. Kayla set a hand on his arm, causing him to ju...

Serranras disappeared not long after we reentered the forest. We followed the trail provided to us for around half an hour or so. The deeper we got, the more buzzing we heard around us as the Vespae patrolled the area. We weren’t ne...

Wolvensden was built around a perennial spring that flowed into a small stream. It was large enough for the Kobold’s needs while providing them with a pleasant environment. The grass here was lush, the trees pr...

Once the pain became tolerable and eventually wore off, Kayla and Jeff were in much higher spirits than I thought they would be. The duo had taken a quick dip in one of the springs that were near everywhere in Etson National...

I grimaced as Jeff lifted the Vague Stick for the seventh time, showing off a bear trap that was attached to the other end. He inexpertly changed the shape of the weapon to allow the trap to fall to the ground.
As it t...

“Wow, it’s like it’s still daytime. Everything looks so good,” Kayla said softly as we walked through the forest.
Even though night had fallen and the trees were illuminated by the stars and moon, Serranras’ gift al...

The Mills and I were back in the streets within a half hour. It had taken me longer to calm down than I had hoped, and I realized that I was taking things too easy.
The biggest jitters I felt from Regression Imbalance came from the Safari Resort, both ...

We traversed to the higher floors of city hall, much to the confusion of Kayla and Jeff. Corwin was just happy to be a part of things and I was really enjoying his energy. No one spoke as we passed by what would have added up to over a hundr...

I've managed to get a good streak of chapters out, and I'm terrible at not sharing them. Therefore, I'm upgrading the Angel of the End tier. From here on, it's going to be "at least 4 weeks worth of chapters + backlog." Every time I finish up an extra chapter, I'll dro...

As Jeff had said, Etson City Hall was a few blocks away from the Square and the base of operations of the Faithful. Although he and Kayla were nervous traveling so close, I only indulged them slightly by avoiding the most populated areas and chang...

In the Extra Extras post, Anthony and Sara's first meeting from her point of view was the highest choice by a fairly large margin, and what better time to drop it than in between the last chapter of book 1 and the first chapter of book 2.

As I mentioned in the chapter I just dropped on Royal Road and Scribble Hub, I want to know what kind of extra side content you all might like to see.
