Chapter 113 Advances
So you were a prisoner? Ilea asked in a bit of a slurred tone. The man opposite her looked worriedly at the woman, the dozens of mugs on their table both a sign of a waiters neglect and Ileas immunity to the poison.
I dont know. You know one would think I should right? I was never chained up or anything and I worked the mine
nobody else did now that I think about it... Kyrian explained to a half listening Ilea. ...

Hello everyone.
Another week has passed, The sun god has finally decided that we have burnt enough. At least in some places of the world.
Next chapters will be there next week Thursday again. I'll be out of town over the weekend so sort of unavailable.
Side chapter was posted so check it out and let me know what you think :). Art is coming soon.
Thanks for being here and supporting me enjoying and learning this whole writing thing :D!
Cheers!

Author's note: Let me know if you like this or want to see another character. Might continue or write some other stuff. This will help me improve as I can build characters pretty much from a clean slate. Also world building :).
Side Chapter 1 - Alice
The snow storm didn’t relent as Alice watched the flakes fall in front of the cave entrance, a breath of visible air vanishing in the cold winter surroundings. A sigh, one of many to leave the ...

Chapter 112 Another one of them missions
We got one?? Oh that makes me so happy! Eve said, punching the air before her. Claire just blinked at the woman before she looked around the group.
I took it but trust me this isnt going to be as simple as the ones before... Claire had reported the successful missions and their team was rewarded with a bigger choice for the next ones. One of them had been listed as level three.

Chapter 111 Useless ruins
London?? In En
. Ilea started but stopped herself in the last moment, looking at Eve with a panicked expression on her face. The woman seemed completely lost in the painting, now even closer to the wall than before. Eve... Ilea said and waited but there was no reaction. She wasnt sure if it was played but the woman didnt know about the importance of the slip up which made Ilea question the possible reason for feigne...

Chapter 110 Barriers
Nothing happened as Ilea walked into the corridor. The ruin looked a lot less like a cave and more like a place to live in at that point. Ilea kept walking, looking around to see magical lights placed on the stone corridors wall. The way led deeper into the ground before another door blocked the way. Eves illusions were standing in front of it and vanished as they saw Ilea approach. The squad followed after them while the rest of...

Hey everybody, new chapters are up.
The changes to older chapters are only the tiers for 2 and 4 dollar patrons. Someone had requested to be notified about that.
Next chapters likely next week Thursday again.
Somewhat unrelated, I'm not terribly happy with the last dozen or so chapters. How did you feel about them? The whole team building/training and now missions. Did it add to the world/characters or was it just boring? Let me know :)
Thanks again to every...

Chapter 109 Dangerous Leeching
Ilea blinked into the magic laden air and grabbed onto the guardian, a creature made entirely of stone but much more durable considering the magic that was continuously rained into it. With a couple punches Ilea noticed quite quickly that neither of her mana intrusion abilities worked on the creature. Her fist even bounced back as Wave of Ember and Destruction tried to damage the creature. She didn't take any damage herself...

Chapter 108 Tactical Defusing
More and more black ash formed around her as she started punching the beast's head, focusing on its eyes and beak first to further disorient it. The cries still came out even though most of its throat had been cut through and Ilea heard any nearby harpy cry out in turn to create a deafening concert of voices. She turned down her hearing before she would get hurt and simply continued her attacks, more and more mana flowing in...

Chapter 107 Everyday Life
Sally had watched the squad of the hand leave the village and felt the gazed upon her heavily. For once it didnt seem the people watching her were after the money she hid in her heavy coats. I hope they come back alive... she thought as she turned to grab her drink that had been untouched for a while. She had left the mercenaries to interrogate the two people they had found spying on them and returned to the inn as soon as...

Hello everybody
Next chapters again in a week. I also changed the ahead chapters to 14 for 7$, 10 for 4$ and still 7 for 2$.
I'll probably continue to tweak it a little. Open for suggestions of course, as always.
Work on the side chapter has started and the art is coming along :). Will keep you posted. As for now, thanks again for being here!

Chapter 106 Cleanup Crew
The team watched on as Ilea threw around corpses of animals and humans before she got something out of the pile. A shivering human, its eyes locking with Ileas under her black helmet. The woman removed it to not scare the child any further. No status showed when she identified the kid and she moved her hand get the hair out of its face.
They mustve not smelled it under there. Eve commented.

Chapter 105 Don't fear the old blood
The whole group of armored combat veterans in the room looked forlorn towards their healer and tank who was happily eating the soup in front of her. Glances were exchanged before Claire was left with the task to hold the interrogation, a burden of the team manager.
So youve been listening to us? she asked the man who looked at the scene with big eyes. These people were a squad of the legendary Shadows Ha...

Chapter 104 Another settlement needs our help
What do you mean they didnt give it level three? We nearly died! Claire was a little lost at Eves outburst at the news. The woman had received the money from the guard captain, receiving a thanks for recovering the bodies. The discussion with the Guild had taken her only fifteen minutes but as Ilea heard with her Sphere, waiting outside the room the reason the missions level wasnt risen was simply...

Hello everybody. Finally made it home after a cancelled flight. 24 hours later and I caught the connecting plane by five minutes. Sometimes things work out :).

Chapter 103 Mission accomplished
Claire quickly checked on the two as did Kyrian and Trian but all three continued to the silver skull still lying inside the still smoking hole in the ground. Nobody wanted to touch either the skull or the stone still shining from its corner in the cave. Eve was smiling so brightly Ilea was about to fall in love when the light around the Fae suddenly vanished and the creature flapped its wings. It quickly flew upwards and...

Chapter 102 Lost Wanderer
Ilea was sure that after getting used to the new weight and her newfound strength, shed be able to use the gauntlets like a heavy and slow troll would use their massive fists, good enough for the purpose they had to fulfill.
Checking the 3rd tier skill point Ilea found it only available for the Inheritor of Eternal Ash class and not for her Azarinth ones. After concentrating on it more she also found that none of the ski...

Chapter 101 Inheritor
All of Ileas buffs were running at the maximum as the group slowly advanced through the mine. Eve was carrying a lit torch, not needing her hands to fight. Their tank shrouded in ash was taking the front with Eve close behind, followed by a line of the other members with Claire in the middle.
Five minutes later they came up on the corpse Eve had talked about. It was a man who looked to be in his thirties, lying dead on the g...

Hello everyboooody. Chapters have been released and we have reached the magical number of one hundred. So that's nice.

Chapter 100 Mission
After having released the tiger, Ilea went back to her reading spot and continued where she left off. For the first time in three months she had more than just an hour or two to invest in reading and to relax. It was incredible how much the team had progressed and tomorrow they would have to prove themselves against an actual threat. Ilea was definitely more excited th...

Chapter 99 Housing
So they guess? Ilea asked. Claire seemed actually annoyed, a very rare occurrence Ilea had found. Alright, lets say they dont and it makes sense but can a missions classification change?
It can but youll have to bring proof and argue for the change. Not something that is easy to justify. And its go...

Chapter 98 Statistics
Ilea blinked around Kyrian as usual and tried to find a gap in his defensive line of metal. More and more Ash was released to wards the somewhat stationary man, making it hard for him to see the moving target. Occasionally an arrow was loosed both towards Kyrian and the runes on the ground around him. Even with her high amount of Curse Resistance it was a massive detriment to enter his domain. Combined with the high amount of sphere...

Eyo, chapters next week Wednesday 1st of August prolly. Gonna be away for a week after that so in two weeks it's likely going to be on Friday. I'll update you again next week though. Advance chapters have been raised to 13/9/7 respectively.
Artist is working on the cover now.
The polls will be kept running for a while but I think I'll add more than a single character / side chapter. No promises but why the hell not. If they die after 200 words don't blame me though.
Thanks f...

Sulivhaan stood on top of a mountain overlooking the city of Ravenhall. Hello old friend... he thought as he looked upon the stone walls of what he considered to be home.

Chapter 95 Negotiations
Ilea continued to talk about enchantments with Iana for a while and found the possibilities to be much less amazing than what she thought possible. The difference of an enchanted armor would be able to save ones life in certain situations but it wouldnt make the difference between being completely overwhelmed by an enemy and winning against the same foe.
Balduur was still working on her new arrows and a glance towards th...

Chapter 94 Rarities
The hour of archery passed in a flash and Ilea left the hall with a big grin on her face. In a world where skills gave one immediate knowledge of at least some aspects of whatever one decided to learn, going the normal route was quite refreshing. The stance and drawing came somewhat easy to Ilea because of her enhanced body and reflexes. She decided not to use any of her body enhancement skills in the first lesson and to just trust th...

Hey guys and gals

Finally the poll for the side characters, yeyo. I included nearly all the suggestions, leave a vote! (Side chapter about the order of Azarinth - would have to introduce a bunch of characters first - maybe as a side story sometime in the future).
