“Incoming!”
Max cursed to himself after shouting to everyone that another group of five ogres was headed toward them.
He and Fowl were already doing their best to stay on opposite sides of their more fragile party members.
Tanila had managed to get the three of them up into the air, but then some ogres started tossing weapons at them, requiring the trio to stay on the ground.
“Ice Storm!”
Tanila’s spell went off, blanketing an area and taking out three ...

So those of you who gave feedback on that story I posted - the Author wanted me to say
"Thank you - this helps me a lot"
He's working on those things and trying to make sure to fix a few things.
Which brings me to a different question.
Would you like to get 2-5 chapters or so (I'd do it in one post so that its not littering the Patreon page) of new stories those on RR are working on? They would like feedback if you're willing.

Some of the warriors had gone ahead to warn the caravan that was waiting for them about the group approaching their position. Everyone understood that caution was best when dealing with the group of twenty-plus beastkin that accompanied them right now.
“You’re certain you wish to come to the capital?” Varitan asked. “I can carry a message for now.”
Xirina shook her head.
“We owe all of our brothers and sisters an apology, and I have already dispatched a mes...

Max and the others struggled, knowing they had to wait for cooldowns to expire before going back into the tower. The itch of progression had gotten under their skin and they were eager to get back at it.
The only way to overcome that problem was by spending time staying busy.
“What did you find out?”
“My mother is coming,” Tanila replied with a sigh. “It appears that there are a few who can be convinced to share that truth if they deem it worth the risk...

Chapter 4 - Why?
I stared at the message with a good deal of apprehension. The system's intention was to eliminate 80% of the competitors. The sheer brutality of it made me hold my breath for a couple of seconds. Besides, the system also incentivized competition between players.
Players? Is that what I'm gonna call myself now? Am I already so deep into this? The words lingered in my head as I read the message repeatedly.
It was hard to gr...

Chapter 6 - Illusionist
Whatever—or whoever—was fighting had a voice that resonated with a deep, grave tone, sending chills down my spine as I imagined the figure waiting for us.
The voice was guttural, like the one from the devil I had faced when we first arrived at the proving grounds. We moved toward the noises quickly, with Max leading the way, me close behind, and Mila bringing up the rear.
This formation gave us two shields to protect our flanks, while ...

Chapter 3 - [Smartass]
The objects felt heavy. The countdown was still at three, but nothing happened. I had so much going on in my head, but the adrenaline from the last few minutes was preventing me from thinking about anything except the present.
When zero appeared before my eyes, a part of me expected a red lightning bolt to descend from the sky and transform me into one of those slime things kids enjoyed playing with.

Red.
For several minutes, that was all I could see.
A fast gush of wind traveled through my body as my hair went all over. I heard the curls flapping against the strange wind, and my sweat slowly vanished—not because I wasn’t scared or nervous.
Then, the void came.
All speed making my body travel through space was suddenly replaced by a shivering and silent cold. The pores of my skin opened, a...

Tanila was still trying to handle the knowledge that Max had received, a skill most could only dream of. Falling off a cliff, getting poisoned, a slice to the neck, or even a strike from a god all seemed like they couldn’t kill him.
“That cooldown is horrible, though,” Max said. He bit the corner of his lip as he considered how long it would really take to refresh. The other question he had was if his skill could reactivate that one. Not knowing how much po...

“What is that?” Geir asked as they all saw the glowing red crystal that rested upon a stone pillar. Twelve foxkin were holding out their hands, each about ten yards away, a line of something that looked like a trail of black smoke coming off their hands.
“It’s absorbing that smoke from them and then it spreads out into the air,” Thorodd muttered. “What do we do?”
Einar glanced at the open space, fifty yards set in a circle, no other beastkin to be seen.&n...

Max blinked a few times, feeling the cold cloth against his face. Looking up he saw Tanila with his head on her lap, trying to slide the wet cloth between his helmet and his cheeks.
“What in the gods was that?” Fowl asked.
“Fowl Hammerfall! Give the man a moment!” Batrire shouted, glaring at the dwarf.
Chuckling, Max groaned as he sat up, storing his helmet and taking the cool cloth and wiping his neck and face.

“I don’t remember much about what they do, just that they are immune to fire, have very dangerous abilities and are hard to kill.”
“So like basically what we’d expect from a fire boss in an elite dungeon,” Fowl muttered.
Tanila glared at their warrior and his response to the information she shared.
“What about that floor? It looks like there are sections missing and paths between them,” Max said. “It looks like the center portion is decently sized, but if f...

Max and Tanila spent a few hours in the crafting area as he worked on the list of items the Faction needed. Some of the metal from the tower floor with the goblins and weird dwarfs had been of higher quality than Max had expected once it was smelted down into bars.
Currently, three different weapons were being made and unless something went wrong, they should all come out as a legendary grade one.

“Remember, move silently, stay in my patch and watch your steps. Ten yards between everyone.”
Hogni’s instructions were met with nothing but a bob of heads as the pack set out with Varitan into the woods, slightly away from the road.
In front, their best archer traveled behind Thorleif, who had a reputation for being skilled in the woods. Geir was in the back with his bow and Skardi, the larger man not being the most quiet when it came to moving through the woods...

The last ten minutes had been silent beyond a few grunts and scowls as Thorodd, Varitan, Osvif and Thorve took turns reading the different reports Shael had given Einar.
“How bad are the beastkin compared to everything else we have fought?”
Varitan leaned across the table and tapped on the map that was laying in the middle.
“That is a hard one to answer, Thorodd. For the longest I would have considered them impossible as their numbers can fluctuate in the forest, but a...

Max knew Cordellia was struggling to stay standing, especially after seeing the other seven drop to their faces.
“I’m disappointed in you all.”
Max would have done a double take if he had not heard Tanila speak in this tone before. Everything about her was different. Her voice, pitch and commanding presence.
“Everything we profess to be and yet you seven are nothing more than bullies who attempt to badger others you feel are beneath you and ta...

“Fireball!”
Fowl’s shield blocked most of the spell as the fireball as wide as him struck, sending flames around his body.
Max and Tanila both unleashed an Ice Spear at the giant on the right, dropping it to its knees.
Cordellia had used her empower shot on the one on the left, piercing an eye and sending the fire giant into a state of rage and fury. It was sending a fireball every ten seconds at Fowl, some hitting and some missing as its vision was obscured.

Some chuckles came from Thorodd, Thorve, and Lyeneru as Almon, the escort Salihn had sent, rode next to Einar.
“No, it was all my fault. I accidentally set some of the furniture on fire.”
The Elven man’s brown eyes scrunched as one eyebrow started to rise.

Cordellia was peering with her hand shielding her eyes and frowning.

The chairs they sat in were dark wood, hand carved and yet felt perfect for their size and mass. The ...
