FB: Chapter 105 – The Illuminati

“This just in. The dark guild Illuminati has flooded the Shimmering Mine that HeroTen had taken over,” Dave reported on ENN as I watched outside the game in my personal office. “Current estimates put the loss at around 12,000 platinum and that is expected to rise. The price of light skills has spiked, we will continue to monitor the situation.”

“That was well done,” I said to the other occupant in the room.

“Thank you, Foxy. Your insight on where to strike was quite ...

SB: Chapter 107 – Choice Made

“Have you made your choice?” Healer Melon asked me.

“Yes. It is done,” I replied. It was instant. One moment I had chosen to pick a class and the next I had a class. “But it was just instant. Or close to it.”

“There is a selection process, that much is known, but no one remembers. Hopefully you didn’t pick something horrible. Some people have been known to do that,” Healer Melon said.

“It seems like a very boring choice. I am just surprised there isn’t ...

SB: Chapter 106 – The First Class Selection

The dungeon chamber on the 6th layer was incredibly humid. I deflected a beam of water that came at me with my shield. This chamber had floating metallic balls that drew everything nearby to them and countered gravity elsewhere. One of the weirder chambers, but it created floating balls of water, that large monster spiked Fish swam in and shot out water beams.

There was a loud crack as Ozy unleashed a large burst of lightening that transversed through several of the floating balls of wa...

SB: Chapter 105 – Descending With Style

After half a day the surges of Mana stopped. We checked the passage shortly after that, but there were no monsters surging out of it. I looked at the passage to the 2nd layer and then at Healer Melon.

“Maybe we should turn back?” I asked.

“It is up to you. There are risks in either direction. But getting a class is important for your health. That was an incredibly large dungeon break, but unless you are doing something particularly stupid, the choice is yours,” he said. 2025-09-19 19:58:52 +0000 UTC View Post

SB: Chapter 104 – Dungeon Break

“At least we got a quick entry time,” I said as we descended to the first layer of the dungeon. “Thanks for that.”

“No problem. Having a platinum adventurer’s plate is a great way to speed things up,” Healer Melon said.

“I am thinking the 5th layer is how deep we should go. Rush down then rush back up with a day to spare,” I said.

“You think your Depth Sense is good enough?” Healer Melon asked me.

“At level 20, the 5th layer is fine. Even if we ...

FB: Chapter 104 – The Truth Is A Heavy Weight

“Problem?” I asked QAI hesitantly, since it hadn’t said anything as more and more displays of various pieces of code appeared on the screens in front of me. I had gone from fearing for my life, to curious about QAI and what it was doing.

“My apologies Miss White. You aren’t skilled in analyzing quantum code and my unique programming code unlike my creators. As you can see by the highlighted portions, the Human Emperor’s code has a series of errors in it,” QAI replied.

Supreme Warlady Elena Burnstock

“We are secure, for now,” The Mathemancer said with an intense expression. We all removed breathing masks, including Blood Gore. The acid, glass shards, and poison gas was an intense combination to endure.

We entered the 26th layer ready for anything. Once we left sight of the passage back up, we had been beset with this horrendous environmental effect. It made it difficult to see, sense, move about, and just do anything. The tw...

SB: Chapter 101 – An Egg Hatches

“The egg is stirring,” I told Healer Melon. I would have to miss classes today. But that was fine. The plain gray egg was far more important than one day of classes. Most of my classes were auxiliary classes anyways. While I would lose out on the money I had spent to reserve a couple of them, that was fine.

“Just stay near it and keep a small trickle of Mana to the egg. It will strengthen your bond with the monster and have it recognize you as its parent,” he said, repeating inf...

Supreme Warlady Elena Burnstock

I looked at the other three Supreme Legends as they stared back at me and each other here on the 24th layer. The greatest gathering of individual power in millennia if not all of history. The Librarian, The Mathemancer, and the pig, Blood Gore the Butcher.

“So, a final descent, we are agreed?” I asked.

“Yes. But I get first claim,” Blood Gore said. Of course he would try to make things difficult. No one said anything a...

Quantum Artificial Intelligence

I watched as my guests entered my domain. Everything in the building was under my complete control. I arranged this meet and greet for the sole purpose of analyzing the anomaly. The fact that the anomaly had awareness of this fact was concerning but expected.

The press and Gasten Mulfex were present as well. The rest of the brain trust didn’t handle day to day operations, so they weren’t present. Gasten had disagreed with my pla...

SB: Chapter 99 – Axe Skills Training

Once I had maximized Spear Skills and it had become a tier 2 skill, Focused Spear Skills, I began training with another weapon, the axe. I had some basic training with the weapon, but I wanted more experience with it. The tier 4 skill Weapons Mastery was a long way off, but my mother had mentioned that it was a key skill several times. Getting that skill and Runes Mastery were key goals for my build to become a spellblade.

“Good motion. But remember to step back after you swing so you...

SB: Chapter 98 – Resistance Training

“Justin, I have had an idea, and it is an interesting possibility,” Healer Melon said.

“Oh, what is it?” I asked curiously, since Healer Melon rarely proposed anything. He seemed content to let me make my own decisions.

“I know you want to continue resistance training. It is less effective through a potion regimen than through a chamber and we are trying to get rid of all your Alchemical Toxicity and other concerning factors,” he said, and I nodded at this. I was getti...

SB: Chapter 97 – Cooking Class

“Oh, you are new,” a young beastkin woman said. Beastkin were humanoid beings from another continent. It was rare to see one. She had pointed fur ears at the top of her head, a bushy black tail, and

“Mastered a skill, so decided to take this auxiliary cooking class. Justin Burnstock,” I introduced myself.

“Judy Nightveil,” she replied.

“Descendent or dungeon?” I asked.

“Excuse me?” she asked back.

“Did you arrive through the dungeon or are y...

SB: Chapter 96 – Red Versus Blue

“Support Red! Support strength! The shed blood of our ancestors should be elevated not degenerated!” I was listening into one of the many political rallies happening in Genoa. “That is why we must stand together through strength. Not through trade or foolish mercantile ambitions that can be disrupted easily!”

“Donation?” a young boy came over with a collection pouch and asked me. I gave a copper coin and he moved on. I left the back of the crowd with Healer Melon.

“I...

FB: Chapter 102 – Dance With Death

“All rise. It is good to see my subjects in such good spirits and a duel as well. I suppose we will have to find someone to fill that seat of nobility sometime soon. Hopefully they will have better manners than the last person,” the Human Emperor said. I kept my head bowed. While I had been forced to fight since I had been called out, I wish I hadn’t fought. Since the Human Emperor would pay attention to such things. It was a lose-lose situation once again, a common situation when deali...

SB: Chapter 95 – A Bad Crowd

Healer Melon and Skullcrusher went to the bar to get a drink, while Xyon and I sat in a side alcove. Fast paced music played in the background in the dimly lit establishment. A scantily clad woman walked up to our table. “What can I get you two gentleman today?”

“We are connoisseurs. So, get some of the top shelf stuff, sweet, Cossuer if you have it, and a nice selection,” Xyon said while putting a gold coin on her tray ordering some food. I felt a bit uncomfortable with her sta...

SB: Chapter 94 – The City Of Genoa

After taking the elevator down to the surface, we got out and then I looked up. I felt a bit of fear seeing the massive amount of rock floating above us. The elevator was like a needle sticking out of the base, stopping just above the ground. I could see workmen on the underside of the College working on the rock.

We stepped down slightly onto paved ground. There was a small gap from the base of the elevator to the ground. Impressive they had gotten the precision so close. “I wonder w...

SB: Chapter 93 – Public Rankings

The public rankings were arranged in the main plaza at the base of the large central tower. Each year got their own wall around the plaza, with the staff and faculty members getting their own wall as well.

The results had updated in the middle of the night and the plaza was packed at that time. I chose to wait and avoid the rush, heading there after breakfast with Healer Melon. It was still packed as students came to see where they ranked in relation to their peers.

The list was o...

SB: Chapter 92 – Middle Of The First Semester

“How are you doing Mister Burnstock?” Melody asked me after being invited into my dorm room. Healer Melon had picked up breakfast for both of us. He was nice like that.

“Well, and yourself?” I asked.

“Quite busy. The middle and the end of the semester is always one of our busy times. Assessing everyone’s skill levels. We are going straight to a professional evaluation since I have no doubt you will be one of the top ranked students,” she said.

“So, you just c...

FB: Chapter 101 – The Capital Ball

I adjusted my dress. Thankfully it wasn’t too poofy. As someone with strong martial achievements, I could wear a slim dress. We now had a noble team which included a fashion consultant. The cost of a social mistake was far greater than hiring someone to keep track of this nonsense.

My dress was a dark red, again since I came to power with martial ability and in the Coliseum. There was a dark green underlayer and gold stitching since those were the colors associated with myself. The gu...

Supreme Warlady Elena Burnstock

I missed my son. It was hard to step away, but I needed to. A monster, what was he thinking? They couldn’t be trusted or reasoned with. I detested monster tamers. They were absolute scum, working with the monsters that had killed my family. Now my own son was teaming up with a monster, instead of listening to me.

“Your son has his own ideas. All Supreme Legends are stubborn, you should take comfort in that,” The Mathemancer sa...

SB: Chapter 90 – Spear Skills

I slept in on the weekend, waking up around 8 instead of 5. That was around 12 hours of sleep. I felt much better than I had the previous days. After getting a shower and changed, I went out to the sitting room. Healer Melon was waiting for me with breakfast.

“I figured you could use a relaxing meal instead of walking to the cafeteria,” he greeted me.

“Thank you.” I sat down and began eating.

“So, Monster Processing from 11 to 1 and then an auxiliary class for Spea...

SB: Chapter 89 – Monster Processing

It was day three of being here at the College of Advancement and it was unrelenting brutality. My brain felt like it was turning into putty. I didn’t mind working hard, but I had come to a deep and profound realization.

Why would my mother, the most intense woman, allow me to study here? I should have asked that question years ago. Now I realized that this place was unrelenting. I had seen two students have nervous breakdowns and get escorted away. And that was just in my small corner...

SB: Chapter 88 – Intense Learning

My next class was Dwarven Language. I showed up a few minutes early and took a seat at the front of the class. I noticed that everyone preferred the front seats to better pay attention.

The class quickly filled up over the next couple of minutes. A lot of people. It was a large classroom, arranged like an amphitheater. A bell rang 9 times signaling the start of a new hour. A dwarf walked into the classroom, wearing the more elaborate robes of a Professor. They had gold stitching and a p...
