Chapter 200 - TFF

It didn’t take long to bring down a side of the shabby rock pyramid. Alan used his shadows as supporting nets, to make sure no stone fell upon the corpses and the items still in their possession. It was a strange feeling, robbing the rotting dead, but loot was loot, and in the name of loot all ...

Chapter 92 - War Hound, SC

Sunday retreated to one of the large halls of what had been the departed Versum’s manor. It was only a two-story thing, without windows, and with a litany of fancy carvings and paintings decorating every possible surface. Sunday had neglected to take a proper look around before.

Due to hi...

Chapter 199 - TFF

The giant had to use most of his hands to find balance and hold on to rock outcroppings and ridges that were within reach. It was a difficult thing to do and he leaned over, screaming as more unbalanced weight fell on his hurt ankle. A strong pull from the dark servants only added to the torment,...

Chapter 91 - Baron and Spells, SC

Sunday grabbed the Shield spell from the Arcanum first. He didn’t care how Mera had gotten ahold of it so quickly but hoped it involved a deeply traumatized Zihei. His dislike for the guy was only growing by the minute, without proper reason. He seemed secretive and self-serving behind all the ...

Chapter 198 - TFF

The blood and gore that spilled out made even Alan cringe. The foot was still attached to the rest of the leg, but it seemed like his new friend had pulled out pieces of cartilage through the flesh, tearing apart everything in the process. It was an amazing feat of strength and just prov...

Chapter 197 - TFF

Crawling on the rock walls surrounding the valley and leading the four-armed giant around turned out harder than Alan had expected. The boosted [Void Pierce] attacks were enraging the giant, but Alan likened them to mosquito bites rather than anything significant. It was only when Alan started us...

Chapter 90 - Audience, SC

Sunday saw the red world beginning to fracture, and bits of pieces of an uglier reality started peeking through, staining the red landscape with their mundanity. With the shattering, the control over his own gravity waned. It was like a muscle inside of him had snapped from overuse, turnin...

Chapter 89 - To Fall, SC

It was beautiful. The more time Sunday spent in this new world, the more he enjoyed it. He could move freely here. Up and down, forward and backward, as if gravity was but a suggestion and not an anchor that kept him one with the world. Everything spun and shifted, guided by his unconscious desir...

Chapter 196 - TFF

The slaughter earned Alan two levels. He was glad because his opponents were mostly weaker jadari who seemed to be present only to fluff up the numbers. Between the six of them, they had killed more than forty of the creatures, with the bulk going to Alan and Jay.

The buff from Amir’s str...

Chapter 88 - Red World, SC

The sound of hissing filled the night and the smell of burning flesh accompanied it. It was a match made in hell. Screaming and curses rang out along too.

Sunday remained unmoving and unblinking. He wanted to witness the carnage he was unleashing. This was different than killing ghouls or t...

Chapter 195 - TFF

“Are you sure about this?” Jay asked.

“As sure as I can be,” Alan said.

They looked over the valley with the four-armed jadari giant. He was sat on his chair, warily looking around. Due to Alan’s efforts and some contributions by his new friends, the jadari were almost halve...

Chapter 87 - Unchained, SC

“Moving in? When this is all over, I’ll tear you bone by bone and make sure you can see and hear it all with your own two eyes. Neither the Arcanum nor the meddling Mesmer will save you. Your skin will be a tapestry on the wall of my draining room; your flesh will be jerky for the pit ghouls;...

Chapter 194 - TFF

The walk back was done in a slower manner, giving Alan and Jay some time to talk more. They had changed directions haphazardly, throwing themselves in random directions. It was a miracle that no jadari or other monsters had found them. Alan had certainly done a good job of killing all he met prev...

Chapter 86 - Moving In, SC

Sunday barely had time to summon some soul moths in front of himself when the hand reached for his throat. It pierced through the grey moths and burned, but less than he had expected. He felt death coming but remained calm. He could feel the eyes on himself through it all.

Eyes that didn’...

Chapter 193 - TFF

Jay started to struggle but Alan held his own. He had never used [Shadow Creation] in such a way before, but it seemed like a good way to hold down weaker opponents. Perhaps smaller monsters if he ever decided to try and catch them alive. Who knew what way his path would lead him?

Making mo...

Chapter 85 - Oh Lord

Sunday almost attacked at the first sign of movement, but it was just Vyn’s head that appeared, followed by the rest.

“Gods be thrice damned, what is going on?!” the man asked in a hushed voice. He stopped when he noticed the headless vampire remains that were starting to let out a th...

Chapter 192 - TFF

Alan sauntered, enjoying the sense of growing tension with each step. Some part of him scoffed at the ants of excitement running beneath his skin. The anticipation was so enjoyable though. Would they be friends? Would they fight together to fall the giant in the Valley? Or would he have to kill t...

Chapter 84 - Concession, SC

Sunday scrambled out of the way. Two white moths came into existence and faced the darkness, pushing away at it. It made sense for light to combat the dark. It was not very effective though. The cold dark was quickly overpowering their weak presence, but it won him a few more moments.

The v...

Chapter 191 - TFF

The slaughter that followed was something out of a horror movie. Alan moved around a lot at first, mapping out the tunnels in his mind. The whole of the valley seemed to be the center of a system of caves and passages dug through the surrounding mountains that created a circle around it, and each...

Chapter 83 - Hunter's Fury

Sunday’s essence was an endless wave of power that fueled his newfound desire for blood. The moths delivered it with enthusiasm. They were bloodlust incarnated and knew no peace. Two-thirds of them were white, brimming with vitality – those headed for the vampires who were still busy attackin...

Chapter 190 - TFF

Alan’s mana clashed with the vitality coming from both curse marks he had placed. The feeling was like being torn apart, but his body held. The destructive life force was struggling to find an outlet.

His first swing toward one of the warriors coming for him produced a line of red that ma...

Chapter 82 - Finally Here

Sunday dreamed of the tree, and he dreamed of the graveyard for his birth once again. What had been just a waking vision before was something real now, almost like being back in the city of stone and death. He took a deep breath of fresh air and lamented that he could not appreciate it for the si...

Chapter 189 - TFF

NOTE: Sorry for the delay. Left home without my laptop due to an emergency. SC chap late tonight or tomorrow morning!

*****

The tunnels flowed up and down, never making it apparent which way they were leading. Alan believed that being a Dungeon, he would not reach a dead end or an ob...

Chapter 81 - Pride, SC

Clarity and dizziness took turns and made holding on to the current moment many times harder. The vampire that had struck him in the chest was looking at him in sheer confusion, and so were the others in the hall. Savia was wide-eyed and on the verge of passing out herself, judging by her breathi...

Chapter 188 - TFF

Now that the presumed boss was dead the web of threads shattered almost like glass. The pieces hit the ground and the jagged stone protruded from the walls, creating a rain of cacophony that sounded like a thousand windows being shattered at once. The sound was disturbing and lasted a while, but ...

Chapter 80 - Unwilling Breakthrough

Savia scrambled backward wide-eyed and confused. Her stomach was turning and her lunch was threatening to leave from where it had entered.

Ganor and Danor had already given up and lay on the tavern’s floor, groaning. They had weak stomachs. She still remembered the first time the two had ...

Chapter 187 - TFF

Alan flew to the side, thin walls of shadows appearing to his side and trying to block the savage attack of the creature. The whip of crystal threads didn’t seem like it would exhaust itself. [Shadow Creation] was working overtime and Alan felt his mind grow heavy from the effort to shape so mu...

Chapter 79 - Preparations

NOTE: Edits coming tomorrow and the next few days to this and the last couple of chapters. Mostly stylistic and typo ones. I've been all over the place lately. Thanks for reading. <3

Sunday fiddled with his badge, frowning at the piece of matte metal as if it were respons...

Chapter 186 - TFF

Alan used [Void Step] to move out of the way and toward the first one he had seen. Without pause, he slashed with both of his daggers only for his eyes to widen as the creature easily dodged. Its speed was the fastest Alan had seen so far – a sharp contrast to the previous monsters he had obser...

Chapter 78 - Stingy, SC

“You’re offering me a Lampyria spell? Seriously?” Sunday asked flabbergasted. He knew the Arcanum would be stingy despite all the grand words and the prestige. Spells were finite and valuable, and while they were surely finding some use in him and the talent they suspected he had, investing...
