Commission art

Hey there! There are so many of you already, so thank you all for joining! :)

Also, I want to commission art for WMD.

The budget is around 250 EUR.

Please pick what you would like and feel free to discuss!

Chapter 50 - Into the Fray

Okay, so I might have a little trauma on my hands. What I did to the Phantom Goblin doesn't sound like something a normal person would do. But that's not such a big problem.

The problem is the looks people around me are giving me.

If I want to be able to move around other people without having them look at me like a monster, I will have to control myself a bit.

At least when they are around. I can handle losing a bit of my humanity if it means I will survive, but the othersâ...

Chapter 49 - Trauma

Only three days left until we complete the [Floor quest]. As it draws nearer, I realize that we've actually spent almost 30 days here, in the forest full of monsters.

But the monsters are getting stronger and attacking even during the day now.

I dodge a stab with a spear and kick a goblin's head, completely evaporating it in the process.

[You have defeated the Goblin - Lvl 4]

Even normal mob monsters are getting stronger. The highest n...

Chapter 48 - Promises Made

So, I almost had a heart attack.

The cause?

A fucking dog.

I was eating some dried deer meat when I felt mana activate close to me and instantly rolled backward, activating my skills.

But what I saw made me open my mouth like a goldfish gasping for air.

Biscuit was standing there, and from somewhere around his shoulders, two tentacles made of dark purple mana reached out toward me. When I rolled away, one of the tentacles continued trying to grab a piece of meat ...

Chapter 47 - The Price of Greed

The Battle Troll swings its fist at me, its tattoos shining brighter than ever, and it puts the entire force of its rush behind the swing.

I lift up my left arm and reach out towards the monster's fist with my open palm. I barely hold back the mana ravaging my body.

The Troll's attack connects and touches my arm first.

And that's all.

His movement stops, the entire force of his attack disappearing in a blink.

The world comes to a stop.

Then I try to redirec...

Chapter 46 - Pushed to the Limit

So in the end, Lily did heal Maya.

For free.

What the heck!

If it were me…

Well, whatever. I bet the woman would have been fine even if Lily hadn't healed her, but it sure helps speed up the process.

Right now, we are walking away from our last camp, and every few minutes, a small group of monsters attacks us.

Currently, the sky is without its phony suns, and beautiful aurora-like lights shine in the sky, which somehow makes every monster suicidal.

Chapter 45 - Matriarch

So, the thing about our base being in a good position to defend?

Yes, forget about that.

Freaking spiders.

Yup, spiders as big as our best doggo attacked us while climbing down the wall we were camped against.

Literally, tens of them.

Look, I don't have arachnophobia, but even I was close to screaming like a little girl when I saw them and heard the disgusting noise of hundreds of legs tapping onto the stone wall as they climbed down.

The nice thing is that...

Chapter 44 - Broken Inside

I stare at the corgi, and he stares back at me. He blinks a few times, and I do the same.

Okay, let's try again.

I grab a piece of meat from Kevin and wave it in front of the dog.

(Food! Food!) I hear again, and the corgi starts wagging his tail.

"..."

I stare at him again, and he stares at me and the meat, unable to look only at me.

What the heck, Biscuit?

Did you obtain a skill or something?

Also, is it a telepathic communication skil...

Chapter 43 - The Warmth of Mana

In the end, I didn't find anyone.

Tess found me.

Still wearing my hoodie, I see.

Hoodie Snatcher.

Also, why such a face? It's just a few flesh wounds and a few broken bones. With a bit of time, they will heal on their own, just by the power of my constitution. Infection also doesn't seem to be a problem because of the stat.

Missing a piece of my pinky?

You should see the other guy, hehe.

Actually, there might still be a few pieces of him on my feet. 2023-04-06 21:20:05 +0000 UTC View Post

Chapter 42 - The Cost of Perseverance

It's already a day since the start, and Sneaky McSneakface still continues to stalk me. I continue to monitor him even as I fight the monsters, but it doesn't attack at all. Yet, I do not let my guard down and continue to monitor him.

The only good thing that comes out of it is that I greatly improve my [Mana Perception].

The range is now bigger, and I can feel even smaller usages of mana. Yet every time I do so on this stalker, it lowers its mana signature.

Chapter 41 - Laughing Shadow

Tess stole my hoodie.

Tess insists she's only "borrowing" my hoodie, but deep down, I know the truth. That hoodie is gone, never to return. She's like a hoodie black hole, absorbing all the coziness and leaving me shivering in my hoodie-less existence.

She says it's because of the screw-up I made during our last hunt that she ended up with her clothes torn, but look, who would have guessed that the troll is so good at throwing stuff?

Totally not my fault.

And sure, wit...

Chapter 40 - New skill

Finally!

Behold!

[Kinetic Redistribution]

Isn't it beautiful?

I love it as much as Biscuit loves food, probably even more!

After a buttload of testing, experimenting, and watching Kevin and others practice, along with some hints from the system, I was able to acquire this new skill.

There are a few minor similarities to Kevin's [Reflection] and how Tess and Kim's skills work, but that's all - just small similarities.
