Chapter 82

◈ Chapter 82:

Rain stared at the hypnotising Fel Fire for a moment longer, then he turned to leave, he needed to set his next-

The Hellhound was there, somehow uninjured after he had brutally kicked it, it was already in the air, leaping for his throat, already on him, its serrated teeth clamped down and he found himself fully in its grip, its jaws around his throat. Then the Hellhound blinked and he found himself nearer the fire, then it blinked again and he tried to scream as ...

Chapter 81

◈ Chapter 81:

“How do I aim?!” he shrieked.

“No need, leave it to me!” There was the sound of bone snapping against bone and one of the skull’s teeth pinged free from its jaws, a small shaped-bone crossbow contraption built into the skull's mouth snapping flat, a canine firing forward through the air in a straight line. The small fragment of bone struck true and the Hellhound yelped as the tooth smacked it directly in the eyeball. It teleported away out of instinctive ...

Chapter 80

◈ Chapter 80:

The Hellhound bounded forward ahead of its master, fangs slavering, eager to tear into its foes. It stepped once, twice, and then it vanished into thin air, reappearing a dozen feet ahead before blinking forward once again, teleporting in short bursts, jumping from point to point.

Rain shifted his feet and spread his arms ready to take on the hound, to rip it to pieces as soon as it got within his range.

Instead, the hound suddenly changed trajectory, its bli...

Chapter 79

◈ Chapter 79:

Opal heard the crash of falling stone and the cry of anger below and smiled. Yes, everything was going exactly as planned, she could even hear Red scrambling up the stairs two floors below.

Now came her part in the plan, she hauled on the rope by her side and the counterweight she had roped to the shutters fell free, the rock dropping, well, like a rock, the rope it was attached to hauling the shutters wide with a bang and then snapping taut on the super-sized cros...

Chapter 78

◈ Chapter 78:

The man who inspired fear amongst Leveler and Monster alike strode down the road to his town.

He narrowed his one eye as he approached, he could already sense something was amiss. The town gates were open, no guards, no people, discarded personal effects lying on the road as though the owners had fled in a hurry.

His suspicions were reflected in the hound trotting at his side, an enormous Hellhound, a brutal looking thing similar in appearance to a doberman b...

Chapter 77

◈ Chapter 77:

“We don't have to be safe you know.”

Rain narrowed his eyes at the Goblin, “What are you suggesting?”

She grinned almost predatorily. “This is a real chance to kill him, to kill the big bad leveler. To get what you want Rain.”

Lyra yelped as she was thrust forward on the table, the entire desk moving as Rain shifted in agitation.

“I- I don't know what you mean Opal, he’s inside the dungeon and we’re out here! It’s better that w...

Chapter 76

◈ Chapter 76:

Opal set her legs and slowly, very slowly, began to rise. Her thighs were wobbly, her knees and feet turned inward, she trembled as she rose, panting, a rivulet of cum rolling down her inner thigh, leaking from her reddened folds.

A pleased prideful look crossed her face as she managed to stand.

That lasted for all of three seconds before her legs gave out and she landed on her rump with a gasp. The impact caused a spurt of boiling hot seed to be squeezed fro...

Chapter 75

◈ Chapter 75:

Rain barely had a moment to breathe after Haldir collapsed before the entire hall suddenly became a hurricane windstorm, a tornado of deafening air that picked up everything not nailed down, the plates, cutlery, chairs, benches, and anything else becoming so much horizontal hail.

Rain put his arm over his front protectively even as his fur rippled, whipped around by the howling wind. A small hand poked from his coat and pointed, his eyes followed the pointing finge...

Chapter 74

◈ Chapter 74:

Rain’s gaze slowly shifted from the bloodstains to the fat balding head councillor, his eyes luminous yellow with intensity.

“Why are there Kobold scales on your table? You have until the count of three to answer me.”

“Curious, this sub-sapient monster actually has expectations of us, I have never come across such an impudent beast before. To think it seems to believe it holds sway in any other matter than its death.”

“Er, that’s ah, it mi...

Chapter 73

They walked in silence for a time. Rain was forced to walk on the side of the road as the number of people on the road increased, not because there wasn’t enough room, but because his looming presence was causing a commotion, especially amongst the small number of horses and livestock pulling wagons. Apparently he hadn’t quite emptied Lynthia of animals, there were a few that had avoided his attention through luck or location, although it was clear they were still lacking as many carts ha...

Chapter 72

“Absolutely no way in hell.”

Opal wiggled her hips, still hopelessly stuck on him. “You don’t have much of a choice wolfy. You gonna let Lyra be executed? You promised to protect her, remember?”

Rain growled causing Opal to let out a squeak.

“H-hey vibrations! I’m s-sensitive after all that!”

Rain settled himself, it wasn't easy due to how awkward their position was, Rain was on his side atop the collapsed sofa, Opal facing him, her arms embracing his c...

Chapter 71

Opal stumbled forward half falling half climbing on top of the coffee table, knocking aside teacups and teapots as she did so. Her breath was coming in hurried gasps and her whole body shook like a leaf as she crawled toward Rain.

She reached out a hand for him, a heated lust in her eyes and grabbed hold of his still outstretched paw, clutching at him.

"H-aah... I- I think I overdid, it w-with the tea, j-just a little.”

She pulled his paw close and pressed it up against he...

Chapter 70

Rain stood tall and tried to judge how much he had grown by. He towered above the ground, of course, but furrowing his brow and trying to measure how much he had changed, well, he didn't think he had changed by as much as he would have expected. Eight foot five inches, and a little bit perhaps?

It wasn't the kind of growth that eating hundreds of animals would have caused him to expect. He thought about that, rubbing his paw pad against his chin. If levelers caused more growth than mons...

Chapter 69

Lyra watched in dismay as Rain stumbled into the mansion, his paw pressed up against his side in clear and obvious pain.

They had found him near delirious in a side street, a small lake of blood around him. He had come down amongst the warehouses away from any house and out of sight so by some fluke had avoided attention. It had taken a long time to get him standing, luckily having eaten such an absurd amount his healing was already starting to slowly push and pull his bones ...

Chapter 68

“You're a... demon?” gravelled Rain, facing the red skinned girl who had named herself Erin.

Erin blew him a kiss. “Only the best kind.”

Belle was staring bug eyed at Rain, her body tense in a flighty animal panic, her knife clutched in both hands in a white knuckle death grip.

“You- you can speak!? No- it doesn't matter, that’s not just a d-demon, it’s-”

“It’s what?”

Belle swallowed, a shiver running up her body.

“It's a-...a S-S-Su...

Chapter 67

Rain finished eating the pair of thieves. It didn't take long. Then he turned toward the Satyr in the cage and advanced on her. He was still ravenous and these two were practically being served up on a platter for him.

Belle backed as far away as she could to the other side of her cage, her eyes round with fear.

Lyra mustered her courage. “Wait!”

Rain paused and turned his head toward her.

“I made a deal with them! Freedom in exchange for them finding you more to...

Chaper 66

The wolf monster bounded down the cobble street with a panicking sheep girl on his back. He flickered in and out of visibility, more visible than not as time went on, a terrifying shadow, a deeper dark on the dark canvas of night.

Lyra increasingly struggled to maintain her invisibility Skill and by the time they reached their destination she was nearly falling from Rain’s back as her climbing Skill started to falter too.

The building he stopped outside of was vast, more a compl...

Chapter 65

“Wha-what do you want Red for?”

Rain didn't answer, his luminous eyes dancing about the room, looking for the little Kobold. He couldn't eat Lyra or Opal, Lyra because he promised to protect her, and Opal because it was Opal, but Red? He was desperate and irrational enough that the little lizard guy was in an extreme amount of danger.

A flash of red caught his eye and he looked back to Lyra. A scaly red muzzle was at her hip and it vanished into a bag at her side as he turned....

Chapter 64

Rain woke slowly, drifting back to consciousness on a fluffy white cloud of bliss. He felt good, no, he felt amazing, incredible even. He felt stronger, sharper, and more aware, like he could think more clearly, with more clarity, a haze of fuzz seemingly lifted from his mind.

He hadn’t realised how much his torment had been weighing on him, just this small relief was stunning. He almost thought it felt a little too good- Should his revenge have caused h...

Chapter 63

◈ Chapter 63:

Red lay in the vault and decided he quite liked gold.

Okay, that was a lie. Red didn't like gold, he LOVED gold.

He shivered and squirmed as he rolled about in the pile of the stuff, the heavy metal titter tattering against his scales like raindrops drumming against a canvas. It was an immensely satisfying feeling, like relaxing around an open campfire, the scent of a fresh rat roasting, spiced with shaved Goblin toenails, his Kobold comrades aroun...

Chapter 62

◈ Chapter 62:

Heavy pads pushed back the leveler’s head and a splash of water hit him across the face.

“Is that enough? You’d think he’d have woken up by now.”

“I did throw him around pretty hard. I’m surprised he isn't more injured. Must be his Skills.”

“Tch, levelers… Oh look, I think he’s coming around.”

Opal lowered the cup of water she was preparing to throw at the leveler and stepped back.

A bleary Adlen slowly ope...

Chapter 61

◈ Chapter 61:

They were about to leave behind the crowd when the red headed Elf who had tried to force a power leveling contract on Lyra pushed and shoved his way free from the throng. He stepped in front of the sheep girl spreading his arms, forcing her to a stop.

“Hey!” he exclaimed, before lowering his voice to a whisper and getting closer. “You know I can help get you out of this. That monster, I figured it out, it’s threatening you right? Forci...

Chapter 60

◈ Chapter 60:

Not willing to let opportunity pass him by Rain leapt across the pool and bounded toward the groggily sitting up Adlen. Rain’s paw slapped down and clamped on to the leveler’s foot.

Adlen jerked, seeing what had caught hold of him.

“Wha- s-stop!- Nononono!!”

Rain’s paw swept up and around as he skidded past, Adlen went from lying down to being ripped into the air and meteorically spun around Rain at arm’s lengt...

Chapter 59

◈ Chapter 59:

As Lyra and Opal worked the crowd one particularly enthusiastic male Elf tried to push papers into Opal’s bag. Opal snatched the bag away, scowling at him.

“What is that? Stop trying to put your trash in my bag!”

Lyra plucked one of the papers from the Elf. It was a PLH contract, Power Leveling Hours, the alternative currency to coinage.

Annoyed, she thrust the paper back into his hands.

“How are you going to bet PLH? That doesn't make any...

Chapter 58

◈ Chapter 58:

I'm-" Rain glanced at Lyra who was desperately making little cutting motions with her hand. "I have levels enough. In my culture we keep the specifics private, this open sharing of a person's numbers is strange to me."

The Halfling tilted her head. "Huh, well I suppose that's fair. I guess I'll just have to imagine how strong you are." She ran her eyes over his body. "That won't be very hard."

Rain squinted at Lira. She was just so- she just didn�...

◈ Chapter 57:

They made their way through dingy back alleys, quickly leaving the low levelers quarter behind and headed toward the mid levelers part of town.

Lyra hesitantly touched at Rain’s elbow causing him to stop.

“Uhm, I should take out those arrow shafts. They kinda stand out a bit and they don't make you look very leveler like.”

“I don't think anything makes me look very leveler like,” gravelled Rain, but he sat down on the ground crossin...

Chapter 56

◈ Chapter 56:

Rain strode forward, ignoring the fretting sheep girl. It was strange being back in Lynthia. Everything looked so incredibly… small. What had been a vast building that loomed over Rain in his past life was now… kind of tiny looking. He knew exactly where he was and exactly where he was going of course, he knew Lynthia like the back of his hand, well the parts where low levelers were allowed to go anyway. Gated areas and high leveler reserved are...
