SB: Chapter 233 – The College Still Stands

Traveling by myself through on dirt roads had been the correct decision to avoid unnecessary complications. It had taken a while to get this far, but the important thing was that I had made it without getting dragged into pointless combat.

I looked out at the college, sitting on top of a small mountain. I had no doubt that the volcano had been dealt with. It would be too risky to let an active volcano remain underneath the College.

There were no smoking vents and while there were ...

SB: Chapter 232 – Ravages Of War

I had half expected a group to show up in the middle of the night at the farm and had split my watch with Ozy at the farm. Losing a spare spatial pouch hurt. At least it was the decoy one I had set up. Well, it wasn’t truly a decoy, but one that had daily necessities and didn’t appear out of place if it was checked.

That was the only reason I had gotten away from that legend. While I was capable of giving a fight, I wasn’t able to win. My odds were far too low. In a way I missed t...

FB: Chapter 136 – A Small Vacation

I was sitting on my coach with four plain clothes guards with me. I also had eight more covering the hotel, two counter sniper teams, five cars, a helicopter, and twenty more men on standby. I was taking a small mini-vacation. Thankfully my appearance as Foxy was the one I was associated with, not my appearance as April. While there were similarities of course, without the iconic hair and outfit, I was just another pretty woman shopping in New York City. While some people knew who I was, than...

SB: Chapter 231 – Conscription

“Are you Justin Burnstock?” the Captain asked.

“Yes, I am. Who is asking,” I replied with my hand resting on the hilt of my sword.

“Legend Farsight Moss invites you to speak with him,” the Captain said.

“Is that an actual invitation or a demand?” I asked slowly.

“A demand. My orders are to invite anyone of note to speak with the legend. Anyone resisting is to be considered an enemy,” the Captain said while also resting his hand on the hilt of his sw...

SL: Chapter 776 – Day 28,402 – The Sword

“Hello, Sword of Ascalon,” I said to it. I infused a small touch of energy into my words. The sword kept floating there. Golden hilt, two edged blade, it was radiating energy and danger as I stared at it.

“Hello, can you understand me?” I asked again. Still no response. I reached out for the sword’s hilt. It moved away from me.

“Really?” I asked, while glaring at it. “I found you all the way out here. You can’t escape,” I told the weapon. No reaction. That was ...

SL: Chapter 775 – Day 28,401 – No New Arrivals

1. End Arrivals
2. End Environment
3. Create Exit Portal
4. Create Public Ranking
5. Contact Support

I picked option one. There was no fanfare or anything else. The vote just went through. I checked the options again and the first one had changed.

1. Re-Start Arrivals
2. End Environment
3. Create Exit Portal
4. Create Public Ranking
5. Contact Support

“And done,” I said as Clarissa watched. No new arrivals would be showing up. 2025-11-01 22:57:45 +0000 UTC View Post

FB: Chapter 135 – The Bear Retreats

“Foxy, as always, a pleasure,” Baron Hayfield greeted me.

“Thank you, Baron Hayfield,” I replied as we both took our seats in a private meeting room in the capital.

“A shame about your title, I had hoped things didn’t go that far,” he replied. It was always impressive how the translation program did so well in translating between different languages. That was why meetings in game were always preferable for ease of communication. Another way QAI had leveraged its abil...

FB: Chapter 134 – Deal Or No Deal

Patriot carefully looked over the sheets I had presented him. The items I had stolen were carefully tucked away into the Bankers Union’s vault in the Capital. No one was stealing anything from there.

“Foxy, you are good and your plan is reasonable,” he replied.

“I sense a ‘but’ coming,” I replied.

“You have created the biggest diplomatic incident in decades, possibly even a century. At least since 9/11,” he said.

“Woah, that is going a bit far. It w...

FB: Chapter 133 – Assault On HeroTen

They are holding.

I looked at the message from one of my fans in HeroTen and smiled. The Illuminati were everywhere. HeroTen’s leadership might have chosen to evacuate their vault, in that case an interception would have been risky. But now that I had confirmation from Tim that they were remaining in place, hoping to hold on until the Vigilance Paladins arrived, I could only smile.

Vaults were a huge investment by the super guilds. The materials, enchantments, and every...

SB: Chapter 230 – Regular People

It was our third night on the road and we pulled over to an inn, in a small town. A city normally had a dungeon entrance, a town would have multiple craftspeople, and a village would have one or two craftspeople and a collection of houses. Most places were towns for safety reasons, since they would often have walls.

After putting the magical carriage into the stables, we made our way inside, to get a room and dinner. Ulmer was paying for our travel expenses. We got some looks, Ozy got q...

SB: Chapter 229 – Equipment And Departure

I carefully put on my new heavy armor in the shop. The crafts dwarf took their time to watch as I strapped everything into place. Once it was on, I began to move out and go through several movements, testing that no points were catching.

“It flows smoothly. Better than my last set,” I said.

“The secret is in the riveting. Too many smiths will crimp the metal tightly for stability. But I used a slightly stronger alloy for the rivets compared to the rest.”

“Wouldn’...

FB: Chapter 132 – Hole City Has A Hole

Hole City, it was poetic in a certain way, being back here where my ascent began and I would cap things off. It would be nice to retire on top and after this no one would ever be able to question that ever again.

I would focus on casually leveling going forward after this or take a vacation. Not that it would matter much once I won. Trying to run a super guild had been a fun idea, but I just didn’t have the connections to keep one going. Without a nation or a very large corporation be...

FB: Chapter 131 – Yelling At A Friend

“You have screwed us Foxy, like a knife to the back,” Quant Z said as I returned from the Capital. He had followed me to my office in the Mercenery Guild and I didn’t stop him. I had let the members know everything would be fine, but Quant Z knew better.

“There was no other way,” I replied heavily as I took a seat in my office. I used a consumable to ensure it was just the two us in this room.

“For you perhaps, but for the Mercenery Guild, you have sunk us. We invested...

SB: Chapter 228 – Breaking War News

AN: Getting back on track. Thanks for the suppport! :)

***

There was a one sheet daily newspaper that was being published here in Port Hammer. Only two copper per copy, which is why I purchased one each day so I could learn what was happening.

“Dwarves declare war against the elves,” was the biggest headline. The attack on Garth and myself was listed. The Adventurer’s Guild had issued an official statement of warning to the elves and probation for the next five year. 2025-10-27 22:57:38 +0000 UTC View Post

“Clarissa,” I greeted the stressed out looking woman.

“Michael, welcome back. How was your training?” she asked me.

“Interesting. I have a lot to work on, but I have improved, slightly,” I replied.

“Congratulations. Things have been hectic, getting everything ready for the next couple of days,” she said.

“Making progress?” I asked.

“A dossier is being made for each individual who will be coming along. Families are being relocated. You will h...

“That is the current situation,” I explained to my minions. All the top 50 individuals had been gathered on my airship for this meeting. It had taken some time, but it was important that everyone was on the same page.

“We can’t save more people?”

“No. The 100,000 count is the absolute limit. We are dividing selections into three categories and moving people to New Kochi, in preparation for the final transit,” I explained.

Governor Sweetsap Moonwood

I looked at the most recent reports. The port town sacked by the dwarves. Multiple towns attacked. The merchants had attempted to break out of the city and several had been killed, many more injured.

It was a disaster of epic proportions. “Why?” I looked at Legend Strightline who could only shake her head. She had pursued the enemy, but they had remained one step ahead of her the entire time. By the tim...

SL: Chapter 772 – Day 28,367 – Training

“We choose the sleeper option,” I told Artifex.

“Very well. I also understand you want training from me,” Artifex said.

“Yes,” I replied.

“This place is a great teaching tool, but it is also mentally constraining. You have worked out the elemental chart of energy types. I can tell you, that this chart is completely useless,” Artifex said.

“What?” I asked in shock.

“The energy of the Collective is slightly altered. Think of it like dye added ...

SL: Chapter 771 – Day 28,365 – Review

“That was intense,” Clarissa said. It had been a day since talking with Artifex. We each had taken time to sleep and to think about everything we had learned before discussing everything.

“You were bold,” I replied.

“The devil is in the details. We aren’t politicians. Any plans need concrete steps to reach completion. It is nice to say things that sound good, but if they aren’t possible, then there is no need,” Clarissa said.

“So, what do you think?” I as...

I looked staired at the smoking ruins of the port town. The elven corpses were scattered everywhere. I felt sick, but I refused to look away. Fighting in the dungeon was against monsters and those who put their lives on the line.

Most of the corpses were civilians. Who had no place to run to. The dwarven ships, crews, and marines had cut down all the elves without mercy or hesitation.

“A beautiful sight,” Garth said. My hands clenched into fists a...

FB: Chapter 130 – Dragging Me Down

“Can you repeat that?” I slowly asked. The price I was being asked was ridiculous.

“The cost is 10,000 platinum for a complete summary on your court case,” the information broker said. I just stared at the NPC for a solid minute, but he didn’t even start sweating or blink at the insane price he had just given me.

“Even after everything? I have paid quite a bit to you information brokers over the years to protect my information and have a good relationship,” I asked.<...

The land near the port town had several farms as we walked at a brisk pace. Even with stamina potions we were dead on our feet. It was exhausting trying to keep up a fast pace. Even Lanner was jogging now, since Wild Tail was also exhausted.

SB: Chapter 223 – Hostile Towns

“The guards are watching for us. They have extra elves on this side of the town,” I reported back to our small group.

“You sure?”

“Yes. If we just walked up we would have been turned into pincushions by all the arrows shot in our direction. I might be able to survive, same with your guard, but without armor and spell skills, it would a quick death for the rest of you,” I said.

I had been lucky the legend hadn’t brought along extra archers. In fact, I had gotten...

FB: Chapter 129 – Surprise Attack

As I was thinking over my schemes, the entire Mercenery Guild building shook. Small bits of dust and debris rained down from the ceiling. We were located in the town of Goldenbrook, who would dare to attack us?

The entire building shook again, as I grabbed my mega blade from its resting spot and rushed out of my office. That was when a voice sounded across the building.

“By order of the Court of Nobility, Viscountess Foxy Blight, is ordered to produce herself immediately.” The...

I held the runes in the air in front of me. Keeping runes active for a long period of time wasn’t advisable since they could distort and it constantly drained one’s Mana as the runes made of Mana kept trying to disperse. But the main thing was surviving the first attack, which would likely be overwhelming.

The magical carriage suddenly came to halt. Out the window, three elves suddenly appeared and thrust their spears at the magical car...

“A different method for each of the three super guilds. One of them will involve avoiding the super guild entirely and going after monster myself,” I said. That would be almost as much of a pain as taking on the super guilds. But I needed to keep them guessing and confused.

I can't say how long this will last, but I will say indefinitely. I apologize, if some of you were expecting 4/day for a longer period of time. But with multiple stories, family stuff, doctor's appointments, it is wearing me down. I can do more, but that is when nothing else is going on. If family stuff comes ...

“Moonwood,” I let out a sigh of relief as I looked at the name of the city carved into the bottom step of the dungeon. It was an elvish city, but that didn’t matter. Adventurers were not to be targeted by race.

Elvish cities often had their Adventurer’s Guilds located with the fortress. This was to prevent non-elves from going out into the city and corrupting their culture. But even the elves, prideful and insular as they were would never turn away...
