Chapter 111: Rune6E1

From a weird dark grey with flowing specks of white sphere, Rune thought about filling a mastery slot.

*Ding* Do you want to fill one of your empty mastery slots with Energy: Specialized Invisible Nebula Element?

The weird sphere of element wasn’t just weird, it was a failed monolith element, and the spectators with a perception sphere reaching to the central small park were able to tell their perception got strange when it tried to scan this sphere.

‘Th...

Chapter 110: A Golden Era

‘I don’t care, right? Prospects finding event? My talent is still unfound! I don’t want to show myself on stage either! Why would I want to anyway?’

Unpausing his video, he only gave a bit more attention to Gar’s side, where Utopia began to discuss the why and how of a prospects finding event.

“Insiders tells of something similar to the equivalent of a talent finding show, just with hundreds of categories and with more than just fighting prospects positions to be fille...

Chapter 109: Get Your Hands Dirty

A day and a half later, the night had fallen and the city transformed.

As they plotted, Rune and Adreana brought the up-to-date Utopia to the Secluded Corner, but to their greatest dismay, he took to the place like an experienced drunkard.

He found it more fascinating to talk about their economic model and whatnot than to watch the beautiful barmaid Angeni.

Nonetheless, like Rune, he had a special affinity he nurtured before the Ether Law awoke with music and ambiance, and t...

Chapter 108: Intented Rune

And the first thing that came to his mind.

‘Ether colors…’

The second thing was something he only linked to intent the previous night, it was a very touchy subject.

‘Acting…’

He didn’t even consider acting to be a hobby, it was more intrinsic, it was part of what made him, him, and with it came the rest, including his social awkwardness and search for loneliness and entertainment, because he wanted to be alone, or with only familiar people, not on a stage...

Chapter 107: Mo-uz Species

(Bar ambiance again: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZX91qsrVWt4)

Same as last time, the first thing he saw was a panel with 4 rules, talk over a drink, integrate with the mood, no pictures or videos unless explicitly permitted, and respect everyone.

Following closely behind him was Adreana, who took for the first time this place in her eyes and perception, she wasn’t the most receptive of the Un...

Chapter 106: Today Is The Day

The day of the cultural event arrived with the usual last-day surprise announcement.

Rune didn’t know who or what decided the schedule, but from the time the first cultural event happened, the next one always happened between 5 and 9 days later, which was one week plus or minus 2 days, making sure no one got used to a rhythm.

This festival, maybe due to being accompanied by Adreana, a friend, or possibly it being the first he went to since coming back, seemed to be the festival ...

Chapter 105: Advanced Field

“Replicate and duplicate elements?”

“For similar properties but present in multiple elements, fire, magma, heat, volcano, sun, star, their properties are nearly identical in some cases, but when you fuse all of those properties into a monolith element, you obtain a composite element that is completely unusable,” she clearly had more to say than this basic introduction.

“Elemental dissociation?”

“The core part of creating a composite element, becoming able to se...

Chapter 104: Angeni

Reinforcement and awareness division.

One energy training, one spiritual training.

To maintain the right mindset and the right physical habits, Rune had decided that every day from the moment he finished his purge, he would dedicate an hour to active reinforcement, and one hour to active awareness division.

In the large park, in the middle of where the apartment residential park was located, he was finishing his reinforcement hour.

One moment, he was empty of any signs...

Chapter 103: 3 Azorans, 1 Human, And 1 Human

In the Adventurer’s Society HQ, on the fourth floor, this entire floor was dedicated to support teams.

“Your social credibility is very high following your two recent expeditions and the associated reports, so your status as a tier 4 entity has already been confirmed. It doesn’t give you additional benefits except if you explicitly search for them in different services,” Olivia explained behind her screen.

A white desk, tens of screens, new generation connected lenses, if ...

Chapter 102: Aleda

“But! I just can’t! It’s making me crazy! I’m going to break something soon!” A pachin, characterized by their dark brown skin and smooth, straight black hair, was raging by herself, evacuating her frustration.

“Calm your shi, enter the beyond, and find the etherial truth within yourself,” mocking her on the side was a human with brown hair tied up in a low ponytail.

“If only it was that easy! What you just said would probably be easier than... F*cking ‘naturaliz...

Chapter 101: Homecoming

The wall he just discovered wasn’t even worth calling a “wall” as much as it could be called… A fence.

A 2-meters high fence.

Made of concrete.

But the foundation was clear, a 10-meter wide line of concrete went from the right to the left, coming from beyond his sphere and exiting beyond it.

‘Are they starting to wall off the zones? Maybe it’s just for the mountainous region.’

His previous melancholic mood evaporated, replaced by a curious and inqui...

Author’s Journey 1: Gintama is the best anime ever, anyone who says it’s not true, you never watched Gintama, or never understood its essence. Fight Me. (Gintama Electronic Title Music Playing). If you have never watched it, watch it. The chapter is not about Gintama, it’s not even a chapter. Did I correctly capture the essence of Gintama’s titles? Oh dear, just writing this title made me want to go watch the whole anime again. Maybe I can continue and never end the tit-

100 chapters… That’s a pretty significant amount of chapters isn’t it?

In case people don't have the title cause they used a zapper to erase it (I did it for some novels who spoiled their whole chapters with their chapter’s title, which I by principle don’t do), and also because there’s a 150 characters limit for title, here is the COMPLETE title for this… Things.

Yes, things with an s, and this befo...

Chapter 100: Lots of Plan

Judging the web to be satisfactory, though it was an amateur mess he didn’t want to show anyone, he called Olivia.

“Yes, Rune?” Immediately after pressing the call button, it got answered.

“What! How are you so fast?!” Rune exclaimed in surprise.

“The support team received new equipment just 3 days ago, the Arcadia stairways project helped us accelerate the timeline,” she explained leisurely.

“Cool, I called to give you more work to do, you still use th...

Chapter 99: Training Schedule

“Hello Rune, why are you calling?” Hearing a familiar voice after weeks and months of being alone always had this effect of vertigo.

“Hi hi, just reporting about my situation cause I just experienced something awesomely terrifying, but first, can you add some intel to what my ether tower is currently sending back? Tell me when you’re ready,” Rune turned his simple and happy social persona on.

“Happy that you’re still alive then, you can go ahead I’m ready,” Olivi...

Chapter 98: Provided

Following 2 days of free-fall, Rune finally decided to stop.

One moment he was letting gravity take him down, and the next, an explosive sound resounded in the kilometers large tunnel.

“Stopping like this is so cool,” he mumbled.

From terminal velocity to nothing, he didn’t feel anything. If he really tried to push his falling speed beyond what he could achieve with his maximum strength, only then would he have problems like taking some armor damage.

“Well, I�...

Chapter 97: Meditative Climbs

Standing more than 40 000 meters high, the highest mountain Rune ever saw was unveiled as he advanced and the ether mist retreated.

More than 6 months passed since Olivia called to inform him of the importance of the Spiral Ocean discovery, leading him to have small enlightenment.

Tier 4 was only a means, a natural evolution, something that was bound to happen someday, so why should he go back when he reached it? His composite element creation could wait, being some years late was...

Chapter 96: Spiral Ocean

‘8 400 meters… Is it the effect of gravity? But I didn't observe any decrease in height back when I went towards the greater gravity…’

Reading some notes he made in his diary, Rune was quasi sure something was going on.

A week ago, he was surprised when he found a very huge mountain on his path, not because it was exceptionally huge, but because he then saw similarly huge mountains later that day.

And that exceptionally huge mountain, which was standing at a height o...

Chapter 95: Water

Some weeks after killing his first tier 4 monsters, Rune started to train his lacking masteries again, he even tried to emphasize using alternative fighting styles to train them faster.

From massive reinforcement use to launching offensive fireworks at monsters, he felt full and satisfied from all the work he did every day.

When the gravity reached around 205.8, he reached the tier 4 zone border while half-expecting it to happen.

The number of tier 4 monsters he encountered ...

Chapter 94: Vanilla Rune

“Yeah, I feel kind of bored and tired, it appeared suddenly and I checked my body and spirit but there’s nothing, so unless you already have a case like me then I want to call an available psychologist,” Rune was speaking alone next to the ether tower.

“No problem, take your time I’m not in a dangerous place,” after half a minute he once again spoke, and this time after finishing he sat down and waited.

Half an hour later, he was contacted again, but not by someone tha...

Chapter 93: New Limit

Taking everything in the room, Rune left it empty of anything, he didn’t know how the tower was brought here but he didn’t want to think more than that and departed.

Once outside he activated his temporal boost and entered the 100% increased time perception state, it was time to go back to the right exploration state of mind and body.

In those close to 3 weeks of vacations his masteries increased passively a little, but not his combat ones. That was normal as they were not onl...

Chapter 92: New Emotions

After the prince finished the first “Welcome To The Black Parade”, he was joined by his wife and they did a more relaxing but still intense session of 3 different songs, all original ones.

Rune enjoyed it, their synchronization was unbelievable, their voice and intent complemented each other like they were one.

Until it was the turn for what Rune awaited.

The light all dimmed, taking on a dim blue light and casting the stage and its surrounding in an icy mood, then the p...

Chapter 91: 30 Glasses

‘What else should I say? The depression taste? The hilarious taste? Maybe the one about…’

As Lenya was thinking about how to continue her story, to make it an entertaining one, she continued to fill the 30 glasses.

“Do you know how much variety of base drinks there are currently on the market?” She decided on this one.

“Nope.”

“Well, the current system is managed by the economy department, the culture department, and the transport department.”

�...

Chapter 90: Ether-Meta

With close to a day remaining before the next cultural event started, Rune decided to do something he thought of the moment he received his “salary”.

‘1 502 490 136 EP… Just enough to max a tier 2 entity ether stats, and that’s the result from an adventure of 9 months. I gathered that in months in a tier 2 zone back then...’

Thinking about this number, he decided to think a little more about what it implied for his future.

The fact that he was more focused on tra...

Chapter 89: Festival

As he was eating his second cone of churros, this one with a rich and abundant chocolate sauce on which the vendor didn’t scam him, Rune observed around him, listening.

“Yeah, bro! I got true info! Tonight’s the debut of an idol group! It’s a first bro! Do you hear me?! A first!”

“Let’s go try the energy fishing stand! Go go go!” “Yes, honey…”

“No, I’m not obese! Just a little coated! Rude!”

“Ah ah ah!”

The cultural event that happ...

Chapter 88: Churros

“Hello Mrs. Yurko, don’t hesitate to say when I forgot something or when I’m completely wrong in how I wrote it,” full-blown social persona back, a simple smile and relaxed posture, he could talk casually but someone else leading the conversation was always better for him in such a social environment.

Rune couldn’t recognize any characteristic making her part of the 5 dominant species, she had very light green skin and the same color eyes, only her hair was true green.

F...

Chapter 87: Starrysky

In terms of tier 3 levels, Rune confidently put himself at least at middle-of-the-pack in terms of fighting ability, even late if nothing countered him and he didn’t have a deadline involved.

He was of course still far from peak, that level was completely another thing altogether after all, but going back to beating peak tier 3 was much easier than what he remembered it to be like.

He even successfully killed a squad of 12 peak tier 3 monsters and told himself that he accomplish...

Chapter 86: Fascinating

Vision was useless, the white everywhere couldn’t help to see anything, a sphere of 5 kilometers was in fact short compared to what the group awaited.

The whole group lost 3 000 armor suddenly. Their perception sphere perceived nothing, no waves, they felt nothing, no sounds, they heard nothing, not even the harmonious sound waves of the moving monoliths, the ground wasn’t trembling.

It was an invisible wave that just did enough damage to kill any tier 2 entities without an en...

Chapter 85: Wait

Their builds were similar, and Rune didn’t want to go carefully, so he adopted the upgraded juggernaut style, he could also call it Lounae style but it had another more suitable name.

The most brainless, instinctive, and direct style ever, the behemoth style.

Rune’s advantage was his reaction speed and fast decision-making due to his specialty, Lounae’s advantage was her cohesion specialty. He didn’t know exactly what was the effect but till now, anytime he sparred with he...

Chapter 84: Breeze

‘578 per second, I can go deeper with that.'

After doing his daily first moving monolith training, Rune was still regenerating his armor and energy pool.

If at the start, killing a monolith monster was nightmare difficulty, now, it was bugged difficulty.

The difference between young tier 4 and experienced tier 4 represented the reason hidden behind this increased difficulty, between 2 000 armor damage per offensive and the current 4 000, there was obviously and necessarily...

Chapter 83: Lounae

‘What the penguin is that?!’

When he entered the 200 meters range it stopped moving, already arousing suspicion, and now that he was in its 100 meters range it retreated.

It retreated!

With a permanent erosion of 300 armor, Rune was down to only 150 armor per second, enough for just some filament contacts attacks and nothing else.

Because his energy was so important for him, he couldn’t waste it, but the only answer he had against the defensive circle was to crea...
