Chapter 118: (Not) A Natural Fighter

“Ack!” Jason reflexively threw his hands in front of his face. He was not a trained fighter. He wasn’t even an untrained fighter, and faced with instant, overwhelming aggression, his first instinct was to turtle up.

Jason felt his arms and legs get something wrapped around them and an instant later his entire body lurched violently to the side, nearly knocking the wind out of him.

Jason unscrunched his eyes and saw the spear-wielder whipping the spear around, aiming the hook...

Chapter 117: Unearned Power

‘William Oh’s sheer manliness that exudes a potent miasma that unites people of all races, of all walks of life. They gather together, believing they have united to oppose a common enemy, but they have simply been chosen by The Tower to bear witness!’

-          Jason Salazar

‘…Who am I even talking to? I am so damned bored.’

Chapter 116: Prophet of the End

‘Your request for a Party of your peers is denied. We will take your debrief about the boy under advisement, but the church has more concerns in the world than a single Deceiver. Concentrating such a staggering amount of military might into the hands of one man is both a dangerous precedent to set, and against our ethos of uplifting humankind equally. If you are incapable of capturing a single Deceiver, please let us know, and we will return you to your retirement.’

- ...

Suggestions for Jason's Class (spoilers)

So, since Jason subbed in Will's hand for the Saint piece the Church wanted him to use, he's going to get a similar class.

I was trying to think of a suitably badass name, and came up with this:

Prophet of the End

As in, the prophet that will foretell the destruction of The Tower and the end of the cycle of destruction humans have been locked in for who knows how long.

Of course, everybody and their mom is gonna think it means 'end of the world', be...

Chapter 115: Cheese Morale

‘I feel I was denied....critical…NEED TO KNOW…information.’

-          Caddock, to the High Saint’s Council of Granesh.

“He tested three places last night.” The scout said, gesturing. “This one was the hardest hit, and where he slipped through. Their commander was known to have thought that Damage Chains were a waste of resources and invested more heavily in warriors and support staff.”

People been asking

People been asking for clarity on exactly how he shot 100ish people with Phantom Hand Simultaneously and they died.

This is how i saw it in my head.


I added a picture that helps describe it, because honestly, it seemed very difficult to describe in text.

The Phantom Hand can be fully loaded with one charge as long as all the objects are touching, so form a big pile and you can load a few hundred arrowheads with one Charge

Send the Phantom hand forward in a stra...

Chapter 114: Dangerous as They Say

Boots of the Returning Hero

+5 Resistance

+3 Focus

Allies of the wearer of these boots can perceive their footfalls at triple the range, and more easily locate their position.

What? Will thought, frowning. Your allies…can hear you coming better? That sounded vaguely useful to coordinate stealth operations with multiple operatives, but Will di...

Chapter 113: Re-equipping

**Jason***

“HGRFBLE!” Jason let out a string of consonants as he tumbled backwards and hit his head on the far wall.

“What the-,” Jason’s complaint was cut off by a metallic screech as Will’s chest full of gear slid into the white room, the metal corners of the box leaving a faint metallic trail on the otherwise pristine white surface.

Jason didn’t have time to roll out of the way, opting to scrunch himself up as the chest slid up to him, coming to a h...

Chapter 112: Seeing a Friend Off

Will had developed a method for carrying the urns one-handed: The rim of the urn was fairly strong, able to support the entire thing, so Will just flicked the top off and grabbed it by the rim, balancing part of its weight on his left arm, dumping it into the pit before receiving the next from Loth’s insects.

Loth was currently booby-trapping the shit out of the rest of the underground smithery. There were only a few minutes before the next rotation came in to use the refiner at the c...

Let's pick a name for the Set

I can work out the details of exactly what it does once we figure out a name we like.

These were chosen from the ones that had a lot of likes and i wouldn't mind calling it.


Just pick whichever one you like the sound of, I'll work out the deets over sunday.


Holdna’s Consort

The Family Gathering

Ashen Reliquary/ Reliquary of Ash

Coilbreaker

Granesh’s Folly

Hunger of the Fallen

Chapter 111: Love Letter From Holdna

On the day of their wedding, Holdna gave Ouroboros a feathered cape that allowed him to fly. In return, Ouroboros twisted himself into The Tower, so she would have something limitless to observe with her equally limitless gaze.

C’mon, finish your food, we’re on a deadline. Literally.

Need Set names, + Set bonuses

So i think I'll have Will put all his current gear into the pile of refined ash (once i figure out how to make that happen) and hit it all with Sourdough.

The result will be a Set. The name of which is pretty critical. I'm looking for some ideas for the name of the set, and it's set bonuses.


Here are the Ideas for set names i've had already:
Holdna's Consort
The Serpent
The Deceiver

I don't have any set power ideas, yet, but I'm thinking they'll be formatt...

Chapter 110: Blessed Steel

“I said put me down, you scum-peddling shit-mouths!” Jason shouted at the top of his lungs, beating on the helmets of the people carrying him. It didn’t do any good, but it made him feel better.

They were sprinting at top speed up a stone-pathed road cut into the mountainside, wide enough to field an army and greyscale in the dim light of pre-dawn.

Above, the Graneshian fortress was looming larger and larger, the gates yawning open to swallow him.

They were only a few ...

Chapter 109: Cat and Mouse

“It’s the oddest thing.” The tracker said, sniffing the wind.

Caddock raised a brow and waited.

“Every once in a while I’ll get a whiff of a campfire, but it’s hard to nail down a direction. Like There’s no origin. It’s diluted, miles away, but there’s no directionality to it.”

After days of searching they hadn’t found the Deceiver’s landing point, nor had they caught sight of him. Like he disappeared off the face of the Earth. Most fliers couldn’t ...

Chapter 108: Hunted

‘He’s got a two day head start, on you, which is more than he needs. William Oh’s got friends in every town and village from here to the wastes, he speaks a dozen languages, knows every local custom. He’ll blend in, disappear. You’ll never see him again.’

-          Jason Salazar

‘Who are you talking to?’

-          William Oh.
