“So many questions, but not an answer in sight,” Randidly muttered to himself. He exchanged a few quick messages with a worried Neveah, who had felt the damage to his Class without knowing how extensive it was.

After assuring her that he was fine, Neveah demanded that he produce their new doppelganger so she could po...

“Morning Vye,” Nerrick said with an enthusiastic nod. “Are you free tonight?”

“I don’t date men who work with metal,” Vye replied perfunctorily while cursing Tatiana for throwing her so immediately into this shitstorm of work and constant harassment. Then Vye blinked rapidly, letting go of her daydream of ...

Slightly bitter at how much editing I did today, but its okay. I've rewritten the same scenes like three times T.T


 

Cracking his neck, Randidly walked over to the bustling industrial center of the Erickson Steel headquarters. Although Tatiana seemed to have a rather grim outlook on Erickson Steel’s...

I had an idea during editing for this mini-arc, but it will me rewriting a lot of what I already have. So no chapters tonight, but I'll put three out tomorrow.

Several hours later, as he was preparing to eat an extremely early lunch, Evan Crane tapped his newly acquired cigar against the side of his desk.

Tap.

But he only tapped it once. After that first tap, the man paused as he tried to slowly unpack the statement that his subordinate had just rep...

Certainly, the pacing with longer chapters slows these things down. Which is both good and bad.

I'll probably go back to the normal release style next week. But this was a much gentler week than I've had in a while.

When Randidly and Helen arrived, Erickson Steel was bustling with activity like a beehive in springtime.

The small tract of land that had originally been the safe space for the many escorts that Tatiana helped ferry out of their prior lives was still there, but it was a tiny blip on the densely packed landsc...

Randidly shook his head sorrowfully when looking at the rewards from the Fiery Sharpshooter Path. Basically, everything but the stats had been completely devoured by the Ignition of the Emerald Essence series of Skills. Although it wasn’t quite a Skillset, it was certainly a powerful tool that Randidly had relie...

Randidly was about to go back to his Path screen and select what he would be receiving next, but a figure approaching the spring gave him pause. Sighing, Randidly straightened and prepared to receive the guest.

Sorry for the late post. Had a date.

Also, this week I'm trying something slightly different. As opposed to three short chapters, I'll be posting two longer chapters four times a week. So I can reset and see what the total page count looks like.

Despite Randidly growing rather numb to his constant growth, he couldn’t help but chuckle when he saw the sea of PP that he had gathered preparing for and during the Donnyton challenge. A lot of it had come from the most recent rung, but there was also some leftover PP from the several days of intensive tra...

Only two, the third chapter was going to be more plot heavy, and I want to be very careful about my treatment of characters.


 

When Randidly awoke, he felt an abrupt sensation of deja vu seize him. Time seemed to stutter and skip, leaving him stranded on the lush layer of grass. The soft bubbling of t...

I wrote another two chapters for today, but I decided to wait to release them until tomorrow with a third. I needed to spend some time outlining. Although I have a general plot, I needed to delve into the details a bit.

See y'all tomorrow.

Alana closed her eyes. Even now, she could see those three attacks. When Randidly moved that first time-

A knock came at the tent flap, causing her eyes to snap open. The voice was low and relaxed, but just slightly hoarse. “Are you ready?”

“Politics right now, Donny? Shouldn’t we just sleep?...

What a tiring chapter to write.

 

As Randidly dropped toward the ground, Mrs. Hamilton continued to weave a web of razor-sharp wires around the spot where he would land. She was somewhat nervous witnessing his strange monstrous image take over his body, but even so, he was bound by Beryl’s Isolate. This...

As soon as Alana pulled away from the fight, Helen loosened the tight control she had kept over her movements. Her Tides of Blood Domain spiraled around her, dark and thick. The pressure it exerted on Helen was enough to make sure she didn’t forget how deeply she was proceeding into her own image. At this depth, even ...

Mrs. Hamilton gritted her teeth as Annie, Decklan, and Kayle all collapsed around Randidly. His propensity for eliminating the sharpest and most powerful warriors on Earth was staggering. These losses were a bitter price to pay for only a few tenths of a second of keeping the man still within the swirling geometri...

Kayle controlled his body as well as he could, considering that cloud of dust and shattered arena that was produced by Randidly’s arrival. Yet he did not dare hesitate; Randidly had proven himself too powerful a foe to give him more than a second to prepare.

Even with the rapid advance, Kayle felt that deathly s...

Randidly’s exhausted Willpower let go of the image of the Grim Chimera for the moment. The sense of release was immediate and long overdue. Maintaining both images at a level where they could affect the battle was a chore. It was a relief to focus instead on only one image: Yggdrasil.

Rather than getting upset, Randidly simply used Aether Detection to inspect it for a split second. Unfortunately, it was not something that he could simply unravel with his understanding of Skills; not without a great deal of time. And for all that Randidly had an advantage, that wouldn’t last if he had to...

Helen’s breath came in ragged gasps. Alana was strong. She always knew that. Which was why Helen hadn’t had any intention of challenging her directly. It was Dozer that she had her focus looked upon.
