A Soldier's Life - 159 - About What I Expected

Chapter 159: About What I Expected

It was going to happen, no matter my reservations. As Maveith repeatedly pointed out, the danger level was too high in the dungeon, and we needed allies.  I had two healing potions and two aether restoration potions left.  I handed Maveith the other healing potion from my dimensional space and added an aether restoration to my hand. Maveith looked expectantly at me.  “I think I am going to remove my armor and store it.  If she see...

Chapter 175 - Snowhaven

The city of Farin was in the middle of a wasteland.  As we passed far overhead, dead trees and burnt ground surrounded the walled city.  We circled briefly as there was no challenge to our arrival.  Only two skyships were docked in muddy water outside the gates.

Sana was with me on the bridge and commented, “Looks a little more run down since I was here last.  A single dungeon supports the entire city.  The wastes surrounding the ...

A Soldier's Life - 158 - Phased Decisions

Chapter 158:

I was having a really bad dream.  I had been transported to a world full of magic and dangerous monsters and forced to serve in the Legion.  My eyes opened painfully, a crusty feeling on the eyelid; a bluish light dilated my pupils, and a blurry image of a bald gray man stood over me.  My mind slowly put the pieces back in place, and the memories flooded back in.  Maveith said something that I missed, and it sounded muffled to my ears.

His deep voi...

Chapter 157 Frost Salamander

I let Maveith sleep as I prepared breakfast for both of us, finely dicing some bear meat to make patties.  As I worked, I popped one of the clear essences into my mouth. This would raise and fortify my aether tolerance, which indicated my natural resistance to channeling large amounts of aether.  If a mage pulled too much aether, too quickly, then they risked burning out their aether channels. The old healer in Sobral was burnt. I thought I might b...

Chapter 156 Sanctuary

The water was cool as it soaked my boots, then socks, and the linen pants and worked its way up my body.  I was waist-deep, and a cloud of filth was spreading out from my body, fouling the clear water.  “Maveith, come on in, the water is fine!”  Maveith was still on shore, uncertain.  “We saw the cockatrice bathing.  There is nothing dangerous in the water.”

The tall goliath looked over the room, turning his head slowly, “I ...

 Chapter 155 Cock-a-doodle-doo

This time, entering the vine room, I planned to hack the vines apart with the black blade.  Maveith stood in the corridor watching intently.  He was ready to hold his breath, rush in, and carry me away if I succumbed to the flowers.

Stepping into the room, I was able to enjoy the scent of the flowers with only slightly heavy eyes.  The vines stirred as they had done a dozen times before.  The vines left ...

“You have fallen into the trap most mages do, Storme.  There is always a more powerful spell out there.  Privacy, for all its usefulness, is just a tier 1 spell,” Sana said with a smile.

”So you were spying on me?” I countered with an arched eyebrow.

Sana soured a little, “Just curious, as your Wolfsguard said, you two were having a lovers’ spat.”

Sana was being matronly in tone, and I trusted her.  “So, ho...

An Incubus Life Notification

This is to notify fans of An Incubus Life that I plan 9 chapters for the month of March.

Starting April 1st (no fools) if you are only here for that story the Lesser Demon tier ($5) will have all non-Seraphim Incubus chapters (non-Seraphim Soldier Life chapters will still be part of it) so you will not need to subscribe to the Kitchen Sink tier ($8) if you are just here for that story.

I understand I will lose some subscribers from the Kitchen sink tier but it will make it easier ...

Chapter 154

I helped Maveith with preparing the bear after harvesting its essence.  It was a major essence for the fire affinity, a downgrade from the apex fire essence I got from the first fire bear.  He was meticulous in his harvest, not wanting to waste anything.  He must have asked me every five minutes if my dimensional space could hold everything.  After scrapping the pelt, he did his best to stretch it on an apple tree.  As soon as the steaks...

Chapter 173

The lizard fort was definitely more difficult than the hobgoblin fort.  Bleiz even had a small injury, a cut on his forearm from a parried spear, and Adrial had a concussion from being blown up in the air.

The thing with dungeons was you always knew what to expect so you could plan effectively for the encounter.  The mirror image spell the Sorceress used was in the guide, but it just noted she used it in combat and only on herself.  So, using it on both ...

Chapter 153

Maveith’s question hung in the air, “Who?”  Not a simple question for me to answer.

I was going to have to reveal to him that it was not void magic that helped me kill the monsters. I probably should have prepared him better for this and taken this final step in trusting the goliath earlier. “You know how you thought that I had powerful void magic. Well, I don’t have any void magic. I am able to remove part of the creature by placing it in my dimensional...

The elf girl was speaking Latin.  Many thoughts were running through my mind, and none of them were pleasant.  “Maveith, I don’t know about this.  If they remember us each time…”

Maveith didn’t seem as intimidated by the shapeshifters as I was.  “I am healed this time.  I can handle one by myself,” his confident voice echoed in the hall.

The boy’s eyes turned yellow in a blink and did not change back.  He gave...

It didn’t take long for Gareth to find the reward chest.  The group that had been camping a short distance away just happened to enter at the same time Gareth brought the chest out.  They were also awestruck by the carnage of blood and bodies and even more wary of Adrial and Kiara, who were eyeing them menacingly.

A tall, thin elf with angular features and pixie-cut black hair approached.  His voice was high-pitched, “We came to assist, but it looks ...

Spiders.  Of course, it would be spiders.  The room looked to have a high ceiling, maybe twenty feet.  The strands dominated the long room, making seeing to the other side difficult.  The webbing also created lots of shadows and corners for spiders to hide in.

Other than the sticky-looking webs vibrating slightly, I couldn’t see a single spider.  Mavieth also confirmed but had bad news with his observation, “I can not see any movement but t...

So the edit of Town Builder will start in March.  I will do 3-4 chapters a week on Thursday, and once the 60 chapters are edited, I will start adding new chapters.  Since this story has lots of tables, I can not post chapters here as text, so the chapters will be Word and PDF attachments.  I did Chapter 1 this morning to start it off.

Yes, that means new chapters are still a few months away.  When I do start adding chapters, it will be 3 per month at around 3,300+ wo...

Maveith drank the healing potion, and his face instantly relaxed.  He must have been in intense pain as a euphoric expression came across his face.  He started to rotate his torso, a smile coming across his face.  He picked up his hammer and swung it in an arc above his head, grinning as he did so.  His deep voice echoed in the room, “Thank you, Eryk.  I can help you fight the dungeon creatures now.”

We reached the quarters, and Rincewind paused when we entered, seeing the array of orcs in the common room.  “Are we in the right room?” He asked uncertainly.

Aurora stood from the sofa, surprise on her face, “Rincewind?  What are you doing here?”  Rincewind had rescued Aurora from the Inquisition and helped break her conditioning. Rincewind was just as surprised seeing Aurora.

There appeared to be three different dungeon parties here.  At least there were groups of seven, six, and five huddled together.  A group walked out of the dungeon, their clothes steaming.  The two elven men and three human women walked past us tiredly as they ascended the stairs.  The distinct scent of sulfur was left in their wake.  They were the only ones who did not give Adrial and Kiara a second glance.

I was sleeping when my alarm spell went off on the stairs to the upper deck.  The image flashed in my head and showed me Gareth walking up the stairs with an elf woman.  I had only been asleep for a few hours and didn’t want to deal with this.  I was in my cabin, and the privacy spells had kept everything quiet.

I dropped the privacy spells and could hear Gareth in the hallway, “This is the fastest ship in the Sphere.  It helps us ...

The reward chest was not challenging to find.  It was in the middle of a bush and was the same solid stone box I had found in the bear room, with no way to open it other than shattering it.  This one was slightly larger, which gave me hope for a good haul.   I turned it in my hand, and it clinked with coins and something heavier.  I went to Maveith and sat beside him, shaking the box.

“Got the reward chest here, Maveith.  Hoping i...
