Ronnie the Beef was actually kind of fucking intimidating. The other  two G rankers I didn't recognize, not that I would have, but they might  have been new for all I knew. Ronnie though, was familiar, and despite  the absolute absurdity of screaming about beef parties, he was pretty  obviously a dangerous fucking guy. I felt Cark and Callie shift into a  defensive position beside me, getting ready to join in, and I was glad  we'd decided to throw on our costumes...

The  walk to the Amethyst kingdom's capital was more time consuming than  expected. I briefly considered flying there, but a dragonkin soaring  through the sky on a green hurricane seemed like it might grab  attention, and I wanted to avoid drawing the ire of any big wigs before I  met with the princess. So I ran. A lot. With my Vital Tempest bloodline  I had energy to spare, so even...

Callie and I spent the next few days together just relaxing. We went  out to dinner, went out for walks, spent time with Cass, watched movies,  and just generally enjoyed each other's company. I granted the fifteen  wishes from the three days we spent off to Callie, the one thing we did  related to cultivation. She traded thirty points of Creation for thirty  points of Might, bringing my own Creation up to eighty two and beginning  to balance my stats a bit. Fina...

The  building we slipped into to talk to Suzie wasn't a public space that  people could just enter. This didn't seem to matter one bit to Suzie,  who jammed a screwdriver she had pulled from a pocket into the door and  then slammed her fist into it, snapping the lock right off as she shoved  the door open, strolling inside with nary a sign of discomfort. Most of  the rest of us didn't care much ...

We didn't end up staying down there. Cark had things to think about,  and as much as I would have liked to pressure him, I knew this decision  was going to be extremely important to him. However, I was pretty sure  of one thing. I was almost positive the Flame Riot Militia wasn't the  faction backing the other candidate. Burning Fist and Sage had been far  too interested in Cark. Blue flame pyros might be rare, but a wishmaster  candidate at my level could turn s...

I  awoke feeling...full. Not of food, but of power. Every inch of me was  humming with it. Originally I'd felt the energy in me as a constant  buzz, I could feel I had the power and stamina under my skin, but mostly  as it refilled once I was done with it. Especially after a few days  getting used to it. This was...different. I was buzzing, every cell  overflowing, my entire body nea...

We followed Burning Fist and Sage (who was apparently his daughter,  and didn't that explain the poor reception) through the side door and  down a long well appointed hallway. The hall was lined with small wooden  tables, plants, paintings, and had a long thin carpet extending down  the center of it, a plush dark red thing that bounced comfortably under  out feet as we walked, though our feet left no marks on it.

When  we made it into the cozy office, Burni...

Suzie,  it appeared, did not fuck around. She popped that Belle woman in the  skull so fast a normal person couldn't have even seen it. She was  something a little more than human I suspected, or she was cheating.  Still, we were all pretty shell shocked at the speed at which that whole  incident had gone sour. Despite having capped that bitch, however,  Suzie didn't lower her gun, just staring...

When we stepped into the Flame Riot Militia headquarters I expected  to be noticed. I figured people would show up and try to rope us in, or  there would be someone conveniently having a hushed conversation we  could overhear. There was, obviously, nothing like that. I did my best  not to let on what I'd been thinking when we'd showed up because I was  embarrassed. Being a cultivator made my life kind of a story at times,  the interplay of recursion causing some ...

I  walked for about two hours before finding a quiet spot that was out of  the way to begin the process of my upgrade. The place I picked was a  small clearing in the forest on the way to the border. I'd found it a  few days ago on one of my rare walks while the chalice was charging. I'd  decided to do my evolution here because it was out of the way and  actually kind of cool looking....

We were all pretty shocked by E district, and while we did have plans  to check in with the Flame Riot Militia's main branch on Callus, we  took our time traveling through, gazing wonderingly at the world around  us. The misty, dreamlike atmosphere of the place made it seem almost  like an illusion, though a few uses of Seek Hidden on nearby things  didn't show any difference between what I saw and what the skill  perceived. Of course, that was assuming it was an...

I  spent the rest of the night training. Even with my newfound  understanding, I ended up going to sleep absolutely exhausted after  repeatedly taxing myself using my ability over and over again. One the  upside I got MUCH more done in terms of practice than I had in...well,  ever. This was going to be a game changer for improving my grasp on my  powers, and hopefully would let me opera...

I was in a surprisingly good mood the next morning. I'd expected to  be worried or terrified, but the evening spent spending time with Callie  and Cass and Cark had mellowed my outlook immensely. Sure, things might  be less than ideal, but I wasn't in any more danger than I had been the  day before, hell, I was in less danger since I knew about what was  going on. I happily made my way to the large luxurious shower in my  bathroom and spent about an hour under po...

The  amount of people who had shown up over the next six days was actually  pretty staggering. No more peak G rankers to be had sadly, so I didn't  get that ten thousand point boost, but I'd managed to convert about a  hundred of them or so, and they'd all hit G rank, pumping me back up the  hundred thousand plus I'd spent on the city and getting me firmly back  up to two hundred and ...

It was decided, after our talk with Zeke, that we would head down to  the WCP and take a look around in one of the larger districts. The E  district, specifically, was the target of our next outing, despite the  fact that we were absurdly poor by the standards of that place. We took  the day off however, and called to apologize to Grimmengap. If I did  join a faction I would tell them about my powers at the same time. I'd  decided they deserved to know if it was ...

The  dolls were hellish to make. Zee had ended up forcing me to do the  sewing. Aside from a hundred points of dexterity, I also had lots of  practice with void magic, and the stitching on those damned dolls  required that I sew through at least five dimensions. Even Zee, who  spent about half her free time forcing herself to slowly decode that  absurd void grimoire that I had mostly sto...

I'd half expected Zeke to be waiting to discuss the happenings at the  circus when we got there, but when he wasn't I mentally berated myself  for the thought. Zeke wasn't all knowing. His stats were insane, but he  couldn't be listening to everything happening all over the planet all at  the same time...probably. Even if he could processing all of it would  be hellish and it didn't seem like his kind of thing anyway. Too much  effort for no real reason.

Zee had been all sweet and happy when we fucked, so touched that I  remembered Valentines she even skipped her usual fight to fuck me  struggling. I'd honestly been a bit bummed, Zee's games were a good  time, but I could get that later, so I supposed a desperate clingy fuck  was a novelty from my sorceress. Strega had just bent over to take my  dick, though she had smiled a bit, and Cherr...

We left. Immediately. Called the others and made sure to tell them to  get out as soon as possible. I wasn't sure we could spy on another  candidate for long if she decided to look for us, and I needed to find  Zeke and ask him about this. I knew he couldn't tell me anything  specific if he even knew it, but I trusted my Uncle to let something  useful slip, geas or not, if he thought I was in any legitimate danger.  He cared too much about me to let a little pain...

We  went back to Julian's. It was our only real option for long term  habitation, and it was looking like we might be here for a while. I'd  been hoping this would be a quick trip, but given the stall in our  search it might be a week or two at least. I'd be going crazy the whole  time, but it could be worse. At least we had a safe place to stay. Plus I  was happy for Jim, I knew he woul...

The tent Ronnie the Beef slipped into was not an empty one. The place  was one of the show tents, and the man in the middle was breathing  prismatic fire while riding a unicycle across what looked like a literal  hair. I didn't know what power would do that, or if he was even using  one instead of some magic gear, but it was impressive to watch, so there  was that. Ronnie the Beef made his way over to a crowd of other Jerks,  who were all sitting crowded around a...

I  admit, fucking Hildie was relaxing. I hadn't realized how entwined the  girls had become in my life until I got a chance to deep dick the pretty  farm girl and send her on her way. I told her to go see Barbie to be  given a position as my maid, which she did with a pretty blush, and  sighed in contentment. I'd keep Hildie around in case I needed a quick  fuck with no complications...

The circus was beautiful. I had expected it to be interesting, but  not beautiful. There was a sort of dark ambiance to the place that made  it impossible not to scan the crowd and the attractions constantly.  Aside from the morbid aesthetic, the most impressive thing about this  place was that every attraction seemed to add a bit to the whole,  despite being wildly different and unique.

There was food  stands, art, games, rides, and every single one of the...

I  was impressed with Sinner. Despite being visually fairly underwhelming  he was as stone cold as you would expect someone who had literally been  to hell and come out unscathed to be. Despite having an obvious iron  nerve, he was a polite and well mannered kind of guy, though his lady  (who looked so much like Zee and Drea I was beginning to wonder if she &nbs...

It felt weird wearing my civilian clothes down to G district. I got  the logic, none of the jerks would recognize me out of my mask (even the  original ones I'd met had seen me in a generic WCP goon costume) but I  felt exposed. Still, having the others and the wolves with me definitely  helped allay my concerns about being vulnerable to attack. Giant  terrifying wolves are a real confidence booster in basically any  situation, and Jin's teeth were about the size...

I  was feeling a bit out of sorts, so I decided to make good on my plans  to to have some fun with one of the farm girls if I could find one. I'd  fucked my girls earlier, but bouncing a new girl on my dick always  calmed me down, and as much as I enjoyed playing with my own women, I  always enjoyed talking a pretty girl out of her panties. I trekked  across the town a few times, loo...

We were all in a fantastic mood when we arrived at the information  building. Like the testing hall this particular building was tough to  spot unless you knew where it was. I still had no clue how they achieved  that, but I imagined it had something to do with the stealth Skill. It  was interesting to consider how it was done at least. Like maybe they  built it using Perception oriented materials and while resonating the  Skill. Would that make it a building wit...

It  was shocking to me to see what Tommy was capable of with his abilities.  My powers were mostly limited by my personal strength, or at least some  aspect of it that was somehow relevant to my ability to alter the  world. Granted, Tommy didn't exactly seem to be able to shrug off  whatever he'd done either. He was on his hands and knees, face pale and  bl...

I was interested in the Perception faculty. I'd never actually been.  Callie had gone at least once to do the test, but since she hadn't known  about the missions or the information gathering thing, I assumed that  part of the faculty was kept separate from the testing grounds. Like the  golem battledome was out of the way of the Creation faculty but still  nearby. Since Callie didn't bring it up, I decided to ask Celine myself.  "How come we haven't heard of thi...

The  first place I headed was my cottage. It was one of the first places I'd  made and I'd paid special attention to it in the upgrade. From what I  could tell residential areas got bigger and more luxurious on upgrade  than other places since size and luxury were the things that made them  valuable. Whereas say a forge might not change too much physically but  the actual furnace migh...
