Anthony

“Well, my dear, we are officially quite rich and powerful,” I raised a glass to my wife Isabella. Who returned the gesture over dinner.

“I knew she was good, but I didn’t think she would be able to win in such a fashion. Even though I was there for the planning meetings, it is honestly a bit ridiculous,” my wife replied, and I chuckled.

“She is quite capable. I kind of regret selling my shares before,” I said with a sigh. We had lost ou...

SL: Chapter 738 – Day 6,139 (Part 2) – Gathering

I was sitting at the opposite end of a rectangular table, opposite Father John. Young Michael sat on my right and there were five other people sitting at the table. Four men and one woman. “First, let me say welcome to our guests. Emperor Michael, and Young Michael. To new friends,” Father John said and brought up his cup. We all drank. Food was brought out and served on individual plates.

“Any advice for fighting the monsters?” one of the men asked. I didn’t care enough to re...

SL: Chapter 737 – Day 6,139 – Expand Or Die

AN: Sorry for the delay. A family event went long on Sunday and I wasn't able to get back to my computer. When I finally did, I was exhausted. I don't write SL ahead, something I should probably change. Thank you for understanding.

***

“Welcome, Emperor Michael. I am Father John, be welcome in this city of Purgatory,” Father John said. I had finished turning in my points. While there were people set up to collect a tax, no one tried to stop me. I was glad the name stayed the ...

SL: Chapter 736 – Day 6,138 – Tower Test

“Dammit!” I cursed as twirled through the air unleashing beam attacks in every direction. The floating diamonds had two layers to them and were constantly rotating to hide damaged sections while unleashing beam attacks in return.

I had gone over the top, blowing the monsters apart at the start. Now I was trying with less power and more precision. Unfortunately, I was struggling. The level 7 monsters were that fast and annoying to deal with. I landed at the base of the tower and bega...

SL: Chapter 735 – Day 6,138 – The Grind Never Stops

I finished killing the last couple level 7 monsters in this zone. It was nice that they all rushed towards my location. It made it easier to kill them quickly. This was the last level 7 zone for the day. I would clear three of them and a level 8 zone every single day.

The level 8 zone was a headache to fight in. Floating slimes that used high pressure liquid elemental attacks. If it was before I got my second meta-point then it would have been insanely difficult and annoying. Now it was...

FB: Chapter 85 – Firestorm

We raced into the other camps, making a mess while the elite teams stayed behind to bombard the enemy camp in the other direction, creating a panic. They were tossing smoke grenades to hide what was happening. Combined with the overcast sky, darkness, lack of communication, and surprise this night attack was quickly turning into a disaster for the enemy forces.

That was the danger with such a large army, responding to threats. Quantity was only useful when you had a clear enemy to attac...

FB: Chapter 84 – Being Unpredictable

I didn’t wait around as the information was relayed. I used Blink to teleport to the base of the fortress wall where there was no defending Champion. I spun and puked on the enemy soldiers while running through their battle lines. There were screams from the enemy and cheers from my side. Attacks continued to rain down around me, but my forces had enough skill to avoid friendly fire.

One of the forward bunkers was being dug into with a skill. I puked all over the attacking troops, and...

FB: Chapter 83 – Large Guild Battle

All teams were quickly building according to their assigned tasks. The star fortress was quickly taking shape along with the elevated front facing bunkers. The command staff and officers stood to the side on the hill we were building on, giving instructions to their staff members and sending out scouts.

“One point two million,” Kill Blade said. That was a stupidly large number.

“How? That is a lot of people? That has to be a couple percentage points of everyone in Exponentia...

FB: Chapter 82 – Guild Challenge

I looked down at the challenge issued by HeroTen, the public front of China in Exponential. I was surprised that they were willing to risk such a challenge, but they clearly thought they could win while the Fanged Fox Guild was struggling. I looked over the terms.

They wanted an unrestricted battle, no force cap, no consumable cap, with a wager of 1,000 platinum. I could cover the wager with Slice by getting a temporary loan of that amount. All the other officers were looking at a copy ...

FB: Chapter 81 – Showing The Flag

I puked all over the group of people that had been headed out to the canal construction site. They screamed and died. This was the fifteenth group today that I had wiped out. I picked up the stuff they had dropped to have someone sell later to help fund the project. Player dropped items weren’t automatically picked up, similar to boss items.

There were hordes of people trying to visit the construction site and mess things up. I had been killing a large number of these idiots, but they...

SL: Chapter 734 – Day 5,930 – You Were Supposed To Save…

“Michael,” Clarissa said as I was about to leave. Both me and Young Michael looked over at her.

“What is it?” I asked.

“Would you speak to Doctor Katz, before you leave? I have tried, but nothing has worked. He has just collapsed and gone comatose. I brought him inside, but mentally he is completely broken,” Clarissa said. I could see the plea in her eyes.

“Very well. We will leave shortly,” I told Young Michael who nodded. I respected Clarissa enough to spea...

SL: Chapter 733 – Day 5,929 Part 3 – No More Family

I just kept staring at the headless corpse. I hadn’t been able to say goodbye even. While I had said goodbye in my heart, it wasn’t enough. It would never be enough.

“Michael, I am coming in,” Clarissa said. I didn’t say anything. Clarissa entered the room and stood opposite the table my mother’s corpse was resting on. “You can’t just stand here forever.”

I knew I had been here for a while. But I was just thinking about all my bad decisions. All my past mistakes....

Amy

“So, what exactly is wrong with me?” I asked. I knew something was wrong with how everyone was treating me and then this doctor showed up. Or showed up again. He had checked me over, left, and now he had come back. He let out a long sigh as he looked at me. That wasn’t a good sign.

“Something was done to your head. There is some sort of self-sustaining energy construct that was created inside of it. I have a good guess on what will trigger it,” Docto...

SL: Chapter 731 – Day 5,929 – Medical Decision

“What’s the verdict doc?” I asked him after he had looked over Michelle and my mother.

“Complicated. Michelle’s body is alive, but her brain has spots of energy that weren’t hers. It was small and hidden, but I distorted them by quite a bit. Hopefully that would allow her to recover. The main issue were the tumor growths happening in her brain. I removed the tumors,” he said heavily.

“That’s good. That’s very good,” I said with a sigh of relief. “And my mot...

FB: Chapter 80 – Congressional Pressure

“Congressman Smith, I would say it was a pleasure, but it isn’t,” I replied as I shook the man’s hand. He let out a scoff but gave me a smile. He didn’t like Exponential and by extension me. I didn’t like him since he was part of the government, and I wanted to avoid government oversight.

“The same,” he replied as he took a seat in the conference room of our newly built headquarters in upstate New York. His favorite high end brandy was set out on the table and fruit juic...

FB: Chapter 79 – Poison Rainbow

The middle aged woman who was the skill creator of the Shadow Union looked at me as I laid everything out. Ten platinum, a vial of black salamander poison, and eight epic Sample Poison skill shards. She looked over everything and then back at me.

“The poison is old. While professionally harvested, it has lost its legendary status,” she replied while picking up the vial and squinting at it.

“Will that be a problem?” I asked. I hadn’t managed to follow up on this ...

Winner! Standard 1v1: 970-0 Champion 1v1: 83-0 Tournament: 4-0
Please go to the center of the arena.

I had won the second Tournament of Champions. My record was immense, but still no new title. I made my way to the center of the arena and knelt before the spectating Human Emperor. I wasn’t going to make him wait since I was on his shit list.

“Silence!” the herald called out and everyone quickly quieted down.

“Foxy Blight, you are named the Tournament Cham...

FB: Chapter 77 – Saint Gamabuturon, Round 3, Fight!

I had 20 minutes left with both legendary poisons. I was rampaging through the enemy fortress. Vomitatis. I unleashed a barrage of poison on a group of Dark Summoners rushing out of one of the doorways with their goblin minions.

All of them screamed as they were poisoned, many of them tripping over the sticky nature of the poison, leading to more of their comrades being poisoned. I was running skill shards with Epic Gestureless Casting, Silent Casting, Invisibility, an...

FB: Chapter 76 – The War Front

I was in the command area of the Human Empire Army looking over the most recent map of deployments. As the leader of a guild that had mobilized to this black zone, I was allowed to look at the general level intelligence that showed the deployment of forces.

All the fortresses and camps on the enemy’s side were well defended. Lots of ranged units in elevated defensive positions. The camp I had destroyed last time was the only one in a low laying area, leaving it exposed, but it also ha...

SL: Chapter 730 – Day 5,926 – Return To Purgatory

“Any progress?” I asked Young Michael as we approached Purgatory.

“Some. Less blur, but it is still blurry. I can make out distinct shapes and colors, but it all blends togeather,” he replied with a sigh.

“Well, you are making improvements,” I replied. The people Clarissa had sent with me had been dropped off in the wilderness outside the city of Purgatory in a level 2 zone. That way they could blend into the local population and wouldn’t be immediately spotted. The ...

SL: Chapter 729 – Day 5,924 – Young Michael’s Eyes

“Everything is a blur. Very blurry. I can only make out vague shapes,” Young Michael said. Four days of working on his eyes and he was struggling to make any more improvement. At least he could kind of see things now, even if it wasn’t great. The eyes and facial structure had been rebuilt. I considered that a major accomplishment, just being able to see anything.

“Well, that is still progress. I know the last day you haven’t made much, but just being able to see anything is a ...

Young Michael

“You should have enough stats for this. Feel the structure of the energy within the person’s eyes and force that structure onto your own,” Michael told me. I kept my hand on top of the other person’s face. It took a lot of focus to force my energy to change in my eye sockets.

“Imbue Life.” One of Clarissa’s minions used the skill on my face. The pain was immense but I grit my teeth as I felt blood run out of my eye sockets. The...

SL: Chapter 727 – Day 5,915 Part 3 – Death Of A Companion

We arrived at the city as I finished clearing off the monsters that had been following us. We landed in the plaza and I annihilated all the people nearby. I didn’t want to deal with headaches or trouble. Young Michael was groaning in pain. Michelle was still unconscious. I scooped up Young Michael and pushed his hands onto a pillar.

His face came back togeather. I let out a sigh of relief. “Why can’t I see?” he asked. I felt my heart rate spike at that.

“Get another rege...

FB: Chapter 75 – Guild Troubles

“That is the current situation, and the plan developed by Quant Z,” I said with a sigh.

“You want to have the entire guild attempt to drain out an entire swamp in a high level area and then flood it with fresh water. Both which need to happen in a short time period from each other on top of our mobilization,” Don Anthony said.

“Yes. I will handle the other aspects of dealing with the Unmentionable Horror, but the guild needs to figure out a way to handle the construction...

FB: Chapter 74 – Real World Troubles

“This Congressional Hearing by the Exponential Oversight Committee is now called to order,” Congresswoman Cortez said. She was dumber than a box of bricks like almost all politicians, but she had a nice face and big tits, which was why she managed to get elected in her district every two years.

I was seated at a table in front of the committee by myself. “Miss April White, you may now give your opening statement to the committee.” Time to suck up once again to people in power wh...

FB: Chapter 73 – Imperial Power

“Announcing Viscountess Foxy Blight, Guild Leader of the Fanged Fox Guild, Grand Champion, Acolyte of the Human God, and God Slayer!” the herald cried out as I entered the Imperial Throne Room. The last title hadn’t been announced publicly, but Imperial Heralds were cut from a different cloth and I needed all the leverage I could get. The Tri-Crystal Throne was vacant, but there were several other nobles present and courtiers.

Prime Minister Verus was standing on a step to the rig...

Winner! Standard 1v1: 890-0 Champion 1v1: 75-0 Tournament: 3-0
Please return to the platform to leave the arena.

I didn’t have any more matches, but the message was still the same. Not many Champions wanted to face me after the Arena Massacre as it was being called. The number of memes quickly exploded to world ending potential.

A picture of me facing a massive horde with the label, ‘winner already determined’. My favorite was me looking at a crowd with the label...

FB: Chapter 71 – Easy Tournaments

“This is bullshit! She is level 103, I am level 48. That is a 55 level difference. I couldn’t hurt her even if I wanted to,” the Champion I was facing yelled and pointed at me in frustration.

“Sucks to suck,” I replied and then used Blink and Vomitatis on him. I was getting used to the taste of the skill despite how horrible it was. It was hard to say if I was adapting to the taste of shit or just cared about winning more. Using skill shards for Silent Ca...
