I awoke with heavy eyes and a sore body, yet at the same time, I felt surprisingly refreshed, at least mentally. I let out a yawn and licked my chops, then looked down to my side to see Lilly curled up into a ball beside me and Grick using her as a pillow. The goblin was snoring obnoxiously with ...
2025-11-17 19:50:03 +0000 UTC View PostI stepped towards Grick and let out a yip. He turned his head, clearly not knowing what I wanted.
So how do I communicate this to him?
I walked over to the crystal vein and set my pawn down, then tilted my head back the way we had come.
“Puppy… tries to tell me something?”...
2025-11-14 18:28:57 +0000 UTC View PostGrick led us down along the riverside, the path sloping lower and lower. It was hard to gauge with no sunlight to go by, but I got the feeling this river just continued to head deeper and deeper underground. I had to wonder about these “bad things” Grick would occasionally mutter about whilst...
2025-11-12 18:29:34 +0000 UTC View PostThe creature’s low growl opened into a throaty snarl as it inched closer to the brook’s edge. Jessica let the mask slip from her hand as she held her spear up, backing away slowly. Iris’s stance lowered as her hackles raised, and she barked sharply at the creature.
“Iris,” Jessica...
2025-11-10 12:40:34 +0000 UTC View PostJessica clutched herself against the dragon as tightly as she could, with Iris sandwiched under her chest. The pup’s head was peeking out from under her, ears folded back, and she seemed to be just as terrified as they soared through the sky at incredible speed. Meanwhile, Valrok, her father in...

Geirna yawned as she looked over the horizon. The black of night was just barely giving way to the purple of the rising...
2025-11-03 19:35:06 +0000 UTC View PostThis wasn’t my first time advancing my development stage, nor evolving to a new path. But this was different.
A glow consumed my body as a rush of warmth spread through me. I could see the aura I was radiating, lighting the dark tunnel around me, and as I looked down at my paws, I realize...
2025-10-31 18:35:11 +0000 UTC View PostIt’s not looking at me.
It’s not looking at me, right?
I mean, it’s really dark in here, and I have Camouflage. It’s just standing there… so…
Still, even with my Night Vision, the creature’s black, leathery hide blended itself into the darkness of the cave. Its mou...
2025-10-29 16:51:47 +0000 UTC View PostI sat on my haunches beside the stream, staring into the water. It seemed rather deep; I’d be well over my head by going in, but I think a human would only be up to their chest at the deepest parts.
Occasionally, I saw the shadow of a fish swim by, but I was not sure about how to go about...

Jessica first noticed when her combat training was abruptly halted. A warrior had shown up and whispered something to him, and then he suddenly called off the class.
She was grateful for that, as combat training tended to be one humiliation after anothe...
2025-10-22 21:45:05 +0000 UTC View PostI brought Lily back to the skylight cavern, where I figured she’d be safer as I took time to explore the tunnels and figure out how many red masks may be down here searching for us.
The sky above was darkening, and I was less worried about red masks flying into this cavern at night. If th...
2025-10-20 21:38:43 +0000 UTC View PostWhen me and Lily were done eating our latest and greatest kill yet, my tummy felt quite full. If I tried to eat any more, I was sure I’d get sick or throw up. I guess I couldn’t just take eating magic monsters for granted as an unlimited fix, but it certainly went a long way.
The Healin...
2025-10-17 21:12:26 +0000 UTC View PostThis was too exciting.
Veil of Shadows would work amazingly in the dark tunnels and caverns of this cave system. Combined with Pulse Sense, I could eliminate foes or at least be heavily favored with the element of surprise. The only problem until now is that my skills were so limited, I cou...
2025-10-16 17:45:26 +0000 UTC View PostThis certainly was a promising find. Already, I got a nice boost to my Attunement, and perhaps with just a level up and another achievement, I’ll have everything I need to unlock that stage 4 Path.
I led the way—two Hell Hound sisters stalking through this magical cavern in search of ou...
2025-10-15 20:49:29 +0000 UTC View PostI had a rather restless, guilt-ridden night. But the following morning, I felt surprisingly refreshed. I awoke with a yawn and was met with a lick to the face from Lily.
The scene of the mother mouse protecting her young still lingered in my mind, but it already felt less real. The doubts i...

Not only that, but the attributes required were a bit steep, so I’d either need to rack up some achievements or some levels in the meantime.

2025-10-03 17:55:32 +0000 UTC View PostRight before my eyes, Lily grew slightly bigger. It was subtle enough that if I hadn't watched her do it, I may not have even noticed at first. But no, she wasn't just bigger; she was thicker. Not only that, but also the purple of her eyes became slightly more vivid.
She should be stage 3 n...
2025-10-01 18:56:56 +0000 UTC View PostThis underground cave system was truly a maze. Though, I was thankful for this, as we would have had a hard time losing our pursuers otherwise.
After my mana recharged enough, I decided to check for them and used {Pulse Sense}.
Humans were fairly easy to pick out, as I couldn’t imag...
2025-09-29 18:41:58 +0000 UTC View PostJessica had never realized just how easy her life on earth was. She used to hate living in a trailer in the middle of nowhere, and despite having a fairly calm home life, she didn’t think very highly of it.
She used to have very little in the way of responsibilities—go to school, do hom...
2025-09-26 18:37:01 +0000 UTC View PostAs we continued towards the glow at the end of the current passageway, the glow just kept getting brighter. Likewise, the scent of water became more present, and once the downward path evened out and opened to a spacious cavern, it was obvious why.
There was a huge lake down here, and the r...
2025-09-24 18:27:39 +0000 UTC View PostLily and I charged in from opposite sides of the red mask. I hoped Lily understood the danger those weapons possessed; especially at her low level, one wrong move could be fatal. But she had a trickster Path—she was born into this world with a System, and that is what she’d chosen.

2025-09-22 17:10:17 +0000 UTC View PostThe red masks descended towards our last kill, disappearing behind the ridge.
I knew hiding behind this rock would do us no good once they got serious about searching for us. Finding a thick patch of grass wouldn’t do the trick either. Really, our best bet would be to escape into the wood...
2025-09-19 17:54:42 +0000 UTC View PostAs soon as we got back into the den, we both shook ourselves dry as best we could, spraying the walls with an impressive amount of water. When that was done, Lily was still shivering, so I lay down beside her and she rested her muzzle across my back.
From this position, I could tell I’d g...
2025-09-17 19:27:11 +0000 UTC View PostI survived the forest at far too low of a level, when I should have been nothing but prey myself. All the while, I had battled with the idea that maybe things would be okay. Part of me already knew what I would find up here, but I had been denying it to keep myself moving forward.
Now the t...
2025-09-15 18:35:35 +0000 UTC View PostThe forest continued to get darker, but I found my sight was only minimally hindered. Where last night I could not see more than shadows a few feet in front of me unless I was lucky enough to come across some glowing mushrooms, I could now see quite far. Though my sight was still not as clear as ...
2025-09-12 14:27:40 +0000 UTC View PostI trotted along beside the frog man as he led me back through the woods. I held the bone in my mouth and occasionally looked up at him to get used to his strange features.
His chin was very wide, and he didn’t really have a neck. His limbs were long, while his body was rounder than a huma...
2025-09-10 19:37:47 +0000 UTC View PostI didn’t want to trust the frog man.
Everything about him set my fur on edge—the calm way he smoked that pipe, the fact that Pulse Sense didn’t pick him up at all, and the way he seemed to know things when he set those milky eyes on me.
I prowled forward slowly until I decided o...
