Mage Duelist, A Class Unto Itself
The minute we got into the Fort, Pierre left me so quickly, I would have thought I had the mange. I didn’t, I checked, and as far as I could tell my Sabrina form was considered very pretty, as apparently my own base Attractiveness shone through in this form as well. Meaning, I must have somehow seriously frightened the guy. That said, I don’t quite know what I could have said or done to offend him so gravely. I know it had something...

Alexa appeared, in the final dungeon, just entering made her feel like she was on the peak of something great. Everything she had worked for over the last two months had all led here to this point and she was ready to conquer everything.
Whoosh.
A second behind her, the old orc shaman who somehow only was known by the system as The Old Crone had appeared right behind her. Looking at her, it was clear that she was ...

The Fort
“I don’t know, is there anything interesting to find out here? I am always interested in seeing new things.”
That is probably the dumbest thing anyone could say. I almost regret the words as they come out of my mouth, as that is exactly what witnesses would say the soon to be abducted child would have said just before they disappeared forever. Granted, I am not in my normal form, choosing instead to instead go as one of my of age personalities, Sabr...

Extermination
Maria was covered in dirt, grime, mana infused viscera, and of course the sweet sweet smell of success. She had done a lot, and felt great about what she had done, the gradual and continual Attribute boosts from clearing and connecting minor nodes to her one major node really helped things along, even making it so that her two titles she had gained at the beginning of the night had both evolved.
Title: Minor-Node Conqueror I -> XII

One second Maria was sitting patiently in her room meditating, then the next she felt it, a giant pulse in her mind, followed by a blaring system message that was like all the world first messages she had received.

Interlude XII
Kelvin Mackie
Kelvin didn’t quite know what to expect when he entered the other end of the portal. Truth be told, he had half expected yet another ambush, or to somehow be taken prisoner by the humans. He knew for a fact that his mother and other elves had been terrible to the humans, even as a half elf, he saw the scorn and ridicule that seemed to permeate every fiber of the true born, or true elves’ beings. It was also clear that Alexa, Kelvin...

One of The Chosen

“Come, let me show you what it means to be one of the chosen.” The old crone said.
At that Alexa just watched the old crone, trying to understand what she was talking about. Her status of the woman showed that she was not trying to deceive her, but that still meant she didn’t know what she was talking about.

Tuesday, A Day That Never Was
The first thing Maria learned about being a Psychic was that it was completely at odds with the other two forms of insight. At least that is what she believed an hour into her new school day, when she attempted to cultivate in quiet.
Tsss.
Maria hissed, as she rubbed her temple frontal sinus cavity, every time she attempted to cultivate.
“Brain Freeze.” Maria said, as she rubbed her sinus cavity, as if that wou...

Flight of The Dodo
With my recent power leveling venture over, there are a few things that have become abundantly clear to me. First, I am terrible with physical actions. Secondly, I am apparently a very social person, which is odd because I think I hate people. Well not hate them, but generally prefer to be alone. That said, all of my Social attributes are now over the combined two hundred point thresholds. While mental attributes are well over the two-hundred-point th...

The Journey (Thus Far)

Now I am one to always say that it is not the destination, but the journey that truly defines how worthwhile something is. Honestly if I was to summarize my last six months as a whole, I went through a lot, I grew personally and magically, and I definitely feel that over this last week I grew the most I’ve ever grown in my life. Of course, this can be due to a number of reasons, I have to say the Title and Soul Bound degrees...

Alexa and the old orcish crone watched as a healed, but not yet fully recovered Kelvin Mackie exited through the portal. A quick glance of the image showed the entrance to Bottomless Gorge, an image that quickly shifted and altered to a vast dark countryside a moment later.
Clink, rattle.
There was the sound of chains grinding and dragging against each other. With a look, Alexa saw that the old crone was now holding ...

Now with it clear that the tower to floor number 100 is open, along with all of the rewards that being the first to floor 100 will entail, a surge is on.

The Reunion
Monday
To say that the last three days had been rough for Kelvin would have been an understatement, he had been starved, sun dried, burnt, and left to grow leathery in a nearly constant surf. His only meal was from an uncooked egg that he found in a seemingly unprotected nest. Of course, when the mother of said egg came back, his life got a lot more difficult, causing him to choose to escape into the ocean surf. Once in the ocean, he apparently set of...

The Ally
Monday
Alexa appeared on the sandy shores of a minor beach that looked out over a vast ocean. As soon as she arrived, alerting runes flared to life, runes that alerted others of her presence. Within seconds, Alexa moved to gain control over the runes, but it was already too late as the damage had been done, her presence had already been detected by not one but two different sets of runes. Apparently, the orcs and elves had both been actively monitoring t...

There they put in close to nine hundred c...

Maria was in her corner of the room cultivating by the time Anita came in. Seeing her twin sister looking so sedately sitting quietly in the corner by herself, Anita felt shame wash over her in buckets. Not just from what their mother said, but from the perspective of being a human being. Here she was, her sister of all people, the person who had been there with her from the very beginning, her rock, the person she felt she could always turn to for ...

Alexa made her way, rowing forward through the icy waters. Though a quick check of the temperature showed that the water itself was not cold, but rather the feeling that it seemed to emit was cold. Such an occurrence would have been too odd for Alexa to not stop and ponder a few months ago, when she truly began to awaken. Now, however, she felt that her mind and body could move independently of one another. She could still move, while si...

A few quick life lessons for people. If you want to know if you are in fact being conned by an average con artist, is to see if they rest. If they rest, appear content, or otherwise seem satisfied with themselves, then they likely have you as part of a con. Now, take a step further, how do you know if you are being conned by great con artists, well realistically you shouldn’t, that’s what makes them great.

I have been battling allergies on and off for the past week.

The first thing Alexa noted about the new world she was in was the smell, and the overwhelming power of the water around her. The second thing she noticed was gravity, as her first act within the new dungeon was to fall two feet.

At which point Alexa found her body sinking deep into the brackish water. Moving quickly Alexa found that her tall frame was actually useful in this situation, as the starting area of...

After which the EMTs that were called were slightly baffled why someone like Maria would first pass out, and secondly why she would all but refuse medical treatment. In the end, she was left with a vague warning not to do what she was doing again.
Also, Maria apparently did not make any friends with the schoo...

Maria was floating, at least her consciousness was as she felt oddly lighter than air. Her spirit floated up as if it was a balloon endlessly floating into space. She floated up, up, high in the sky, then through the atmosphere, then to space, and finally a few more seconds passed as she felt her mind warp past the boundary of space, just in time for her to be pulled into a giant white room that glowed brightly.
Instantly Maria knew what had ha...

Bottomless Gorge had grown since their last time being there. While everyone had known that the dungeon itself had finally gained more than enough material to grow to a Tier III dungeon, it at first had decided to condense itself, making the rewards for completing, even a partial completion of the dungeon now was worth exceptional rewards. Better still, the dungeon had seemingly grown once more since their last visit, this time aga...
