”I do feel a bit bad for the man, but you should have seen the expression of defeat on his face when the Mystsong Hawk made its move,” Miranda laughed as she swirled her wine.
”D-grades do tend to get a bit more flashy,” Jake agreed, chuckling along. ”But I tend to find that scale and power don’t always correspond. The Thunder Roc could make giant lightning attacks, but they barely hurt. Well, hurt a little, but one would think a massive thundercloud did more damage.”

Phillip stood with his soldiers on the wall, all just staring out onto the absolute massacre unfolding before their eyes. The giant blue Mystbeasts ripping apart the few surviving bovines after that insane magic spell unleashed by the Mystsong Bird killed most of the weaker beasts.
At first, they had all been impressed by Neil and his party as they engaged the Herd Leader… but it was just hard to compare it to what the D-rank had done. It was an unfair comparison. To begin with… the...

Jake couldn’t help but be disappointed in the Minotaur. He had felt it invade his mind as he struggled to fight off the energy. He couldn’t move, and he just stood there, less than fifteen meters separating him and the monster.
His sphere made him aware of the outside world, but nothing more. Yet inwardly, he also felt… something.
Half an hour passed like that, the two having a battle of the mind. Well, it was more Jake in a bit of a haze, slowly fighting off the mental ener...

Jake saw the creature disappear, but instead of attacking, The monster appeared inside the barn below. He wondered what the hell the Minotaur was up to.
His Sense of the Malefic Viper made him aware that his poisons were being quickly eliminated, hinting at the creature having quite a lot of vitality. Not so much toughness based on how easily his dagger penetrated his skin.
He didn’t follow right away but stayed up there, inspecting the remnant energies still in his head. Mental...

Jake landed on top of the barn as he looked through a broken rooftop window. He saw even more bovines inside, but they weren’t the first thing he noticed. It was the huge creature standing on top of an elevated platform, looking straight back at him.
”So, you are the one who’s been tracking me?” it asked in a rough voice.
Jake saw no reason to hide as he leaped through the window and landed just inside – standing in mid-air.
He saw a hulking Minotaur standing on wh...

Jake walked slowly towards his chosen prey’s direction as Mystie looked to be in internal conflict, so he decided to make it a bit easier for the bird. ”It’s D-grade... clearly intelligent. I have no way to determine its exact power without meeting it, so it will be dangerous. This isn’t your fight, so I won’t drag you into it. Just go back and take care of things.”
Mystie looked at him with a bit of concern, and he understood its doubts. To pursue an enemy of unknown streng...

Neil frowned as he listened to the cheers of the many soldiers. The fort’s inhabitants in the courtyard below didn’t join in but instead began getting to work like it was just an everyday occurrence. They gathered their tools and went to fix the walls, with Neil overhearing how they talked about the fight being a bit shorter day than usual.
He and his comrades hadn’t had to interfere at all… in fact, the soldiers won the fight just before they would have to. The timing of the fi...

Phillip frowned as he yelled to the snipers to take down one of the bulls leading the charge. He used a skill of his to mark it, making everyone under his leadership instinctually aware of which one he was talking about - an instrumental skill for this kind of fighting style.
Four loud bangs sounded out as the bull was hit, two bullets hitting its head, one its body, and one its leg. It immediately stumbled and fell, getting trampled by its comrades. Those that trampled it also ended up...

Jake had to admit that the fort was really well-positioned when it came to defending against enemies approaching on the ground. He had seen the beasts nearly ten minutes before they would get there as they were approaching from a slight downward angle.
With Jake’s insane perception, it was effortless to spot anything getting close. From a small watchtower, the sniper that had yelled out earlier had also finally been able to spot the beasts, and now the entire fort was in full...

The inside of the keep was quite spacious, but what hit Jake first was how hot it was. The building was split into several sections, and he felt heat emanate from one of the side rooms he looked towards. The others also looked at it, and Phillip explained with a bit of pride, perhaps just happy to feel like he was not ‘losing’ any conversation currently.
“Inside there, we have our smithy. Lots of talented men and women who focus on their professions have managed to create old-worl...

The animal flew through the air as it tracked its prey below. Daylight was beginning to dim, and it was the greatest time to hunt for food. The rodent scurrying in the open plains below was running for cover, unaware that its death was already swooping down towards it.
It failed to react as the powerful talons closed around it, carrying it off. The hawk flapped its wings as It elegantly landed in the nest placed on the crown of one of the tallest trees in the area. It began eating its f...

”We’ll be back later today, Hawkie, so just take care. If things get dangerous, just go into the lodge with the egg. I doubt anything can really destroy that thing in a short amount of time,” Jake explained as he gave the egg a final pat before parting.
Hawkie gave an affirming screech as Jake and Mystie prepared themselves to leave. Well, there weren’t really any preparations besides telling Hawkie to take care of the soon-to-be-chick.

Jake had asked a straightforward question before leaving to fight the Storm Elemental: “What’s in it for me?”
Now, in all honesty, Jake had kind of forgotten this after fighting the Storm Elemental and getting emotionally invested in helping with the egg and all that stuff. He had even gained an upgrade to his Archery skill and a few levels, so he’d already gained plenty.
This is why he was surprised when the two hawks offered him their payment…

It took another day to once more reconfigure the magic circle for Jake’s new addition. Both hawks were more than happy with doing the extra work required to use the Beastorb.
Their egg had been slowly fed mana for the last one and a half months as it slowly grew, but here towards the end, they had slowed it down to do a final push. A final infusion of energy and Records to kick start the growth and boost their chick’s future potential.

The two hawks sat within the protective sphere while the one Jake had named ‘Hawkie” helped its mate with the ritual. Its mate, the Mystsong Hawk, was still skeptical but had agreed to the modifications anyway.
Hawkie needed to stabilize the entire formation while the Mystsong Hawk redrew the markings on the ground carefully. It was intricate work that took a lot of concentration from both of them for something they weren’t even sure would have any point.

Dungeons.
As a staple of the multiverse, dungeons have existed since the very first era. Before the rise of any gods, there were dungeons for any creature ascending on their path. Before tutorials became a part of integrations, beings of any grade were diving into dungeons.
The number of famous dungeons throughout the universe is also numerous. Factions will battle over monopolizing certain natural-occurring dungeons, often building entire settlements around them. They are strateg...

Jake awoke from meditation and stood up, stretching a bit. It didn’t really do anything as the system had thoroughly changed his physique, and he wasn’t even sure how things like muscles mattered anymore, but he still felt better after doing it.

Jake stood on top of the massive corpse of the Thunder Roc. He felt the gazes of hundreds of beasts upon him. They had all observed the battle before and looked at the human with a mix of confusion and fear.
The innate suppression of rank was something they all knew. Of course, the power difference was genuine, but the deterrence was as much instinctual as it was based on pure power disparity. So to see an E-grade like them slay a D-grade juggernaut seemed impossible. Even more unbeliev...

Jake sat on the cloud in meditation as he regenerated his stamina and mana. Arrow of the Ambitious Hunter was as draining as it was powerful, and quite frankly, he wasn’t even sure it would speed up his hunting speed if he used it on more ’regular’ enemies. Though, of course, Jake’s definition of a regular enemy was one many levels above him.
It had been a few days since he got Arrow of the Ambitious Hunter. Since then, he had gained a single level in his hunter class, but the l...

Jake was excited as he stood up once more. Hawkie was confused about why he had asked to fly to the platform only to sit his ass down and make weird faces for half an hour. The hawk had already decided that the human was a bit loony. His sanity was nearly as questionable as his flying skills.
The bird couldn’t give up on its free source of potions that easily, though, so it had to put up with the hassle that was the human mind.
To experiment with skills was one of Jake’s favor...

Landing on the cloud island with Hawkie at his side, Jake sat down in meditation instantly. He felt like it was far too long since he had gotten a skill in his class and hoped for something useful to add to his repertoire. He especially desired to see his magic progress reflected and maybe even get some sweet new skill related to it.
First on his notifications were the kill messages, and that, of course, was as expected.
