Zarian wondered if he should put his Level 23 Straight Darkness +1 back in the beta skill section. Even while walking openly in the day, enduring the bothersome shine of the morning suns, he was still ridiculously overpowered compared to these people.
It felt like he was beating on children...

It was another Early Autumn morning. The fortress town of Central Bramblevale stirred awake, slowly, carefully. It was as if all the townspeople were letting go of an uneasy breath after the past couple of nights.
After all, the destruction of the Bramblevale Bandits had sent waves across t...

Twenty-five hours after Operation Steal Skill, Zarian found himself frustrated while sitting at his study desk. It was dark out in the early morning hours. If he listened closely, he could hear the occasional siege blast getting repelled off the Lovewar Dome.
There were still a few hours to...

Zarian struck first with a powerful dark javelin. Dax lunged out of the way with inches to spare, his aura crackling and sparking around him while it was ablaze.
The javelin landed with enough force to toss aside tons of rubble and throw some surviving bandits into the air. The eruptive for...

Zarian’s mind was lit with possibilities. What spells should he combine now that he had two spell slots he could run at the same time? Or would those be considered concentration slots?
The answer came to him from the darkest and most depraved part of his Fractured Mind. It was half ...

“What the hell?! What the hell was that?!” shouted Havard, horrified by the sudden deaths and splattered remains of his men. Some were crying out, still alive, having only been caught on the edges of the massive bite.
It would’ve been a mercy for them to have died instantly to the bit...

While Zarian and Gilbert stalked forward from the shadows, bandits laughed and cajoled as they tossed around poor and defenseless beggars as if they were mere toys.
For the bandits, the beggars were light and easy to handle, all low in level.
As for the beggars, the bandits were rough...

The rainfall was heavy. But the flooding was light. Unlike Miami, Central Bramblevale figured out how to funnel water off their stone streets using a proper storm drain system.
Zarian could hear the roar of flowing water through the storm drain openings he and Gilbert passed as they made wa...

Hours later, Zarian was in his room, sitting at his heavy study desk. The dread gator grimoire was open in front of him.
It was late into the afternoon, getting close to dark. The room’s illumination was dim, down to an acceptable level that was enjoyable for him.
Because of his Dar...

Zarian hadn’t noticed until now that he had readjusted his walking speed and other physical movements while in the mansion. When he paid more attention to the mansion’s servants, he noticed how slow they were.
They also seemed very ‘delicate’ to him. They were like very tiny and vul...

On an Early Autumn morning, Zarian woke up in luxury. He woke up in bliss. He woke up wanting to cry with joy.
For the first time in a long time, Zarian woke up in an actual bed.
It was a big and comfy bed, too!
It was so soft, Zarian focused on enjoying his bed, putting aside h...

This again? Either they really don’t like having evil humans around or they really wanted Roland’s soldiers sacrificed to the gnolls. Or maybe it’s both.

“Bramblevale, finally!” Zarian pumped his fists into the air, his Parasite Cloak flapping dramatically in cheer behind him.
Together, he and Para scared the nearest soldiers. The outburst was uncharacteristic of him.

For the sake of Roland’s upright and law-abiding nature, Zarian hunted down a medium-sized beast and dragged its carcass around the camp the soldiers had set up for the night. He found his party, had Para prepare the meal, and waited for Bianca to cook it.
Everyone from the party had a pi...

Before Zarian could examine his rewards, he had to admit he was damn lucky few people had the Identify trait. If the gnoll elders could use Identify like him and Foodie, they would’ve known he was bluffing them.

A war party of gnolls had killed the remaining wulvers last night. Zarian could hardly believe the news while his remaining spectral spiders danced to tell the story.
Not all of them made it out of the massacre alive – a few powerful gnolls had noticed them and hunted them down for sport....

Zarian focused his fractured attention between the aura link to keep Bianca fueled and fighting at the front like an off-brand warrior. It didn’t take long before he realized his current physicality wasn’t enough.
He needed more of Para’s direct help to reinforce his body.

There was no sign of the monster den while Zarian and Bianca flew around in the air. At least not from close to the dire wolf den. Their hopes picked up when they saw a squad of spectral spiders waiting near the dire wolves. By then, the intelligent beasts have grown accustomed to seeing the Outs...

If it was anyone else they’d frozen with a mind-invading magic howl, the wulvers would’ve torn through the pair of adventurers and finished their genocide of the dire wolves. But Zarian was here, and he had a decent solution to the mind-paralyzing problem.
Adrenaline Jolt.
