Chapter 70: Gracefall Manor
Bronson looked at Derek in confusion. “Shower? Like a rain shower?”
Derek looked over and sighed. “Damn, I guess you would only have baths, huh?” He was really looking forward to a shower. He figured, if anywhere, a city would be equipped with showers. He was not much of a ‘bath’ guy. Baths were fine for rest and relaxation, but he always felt cleaner after a shower. An idea began to form in his head. He suddenly looked back over at Bronson....

Chapter 69: Enigma
For half an hour, Derek fought Silvi for scraps of what was left. In the end, he got a bite or two of just about everything, and Silvi underwent another evolution from a Void Rabbit to a Balloon Bunny. Her front paws literally could not touch the ground anymore because of how much she ate. Her stomach was so engorged that she looked like a mini T-Rex.
Derek and the rest of the restaurant could only look at the fat bunny and sigh. As for the food, it was fantasti...

Chapter 68: Negotiations
Stella was the first to break the silence. “So, you have already brought us a Void Beast, and now you are offering this coffee product. What is it that you are hoping to obtain?”
“Status, and preferably the occasional supply of coffee.” Derek was blunt and to the point.
“Status? I understand about the coffee, it’s quite easy to allow that, but you want to receive status from the Crown?” She asked.
“I heard that there are many th...

Chapter 67: More Business
After being seated, Derek looked around the room. The bottom floor of the restaurant was packed full of nobles. It would be impossible to hide what had just taken place. Derek expected the rumors to be all over the noble and middle-class districts by the time they left the Crown. Of course, this is what Derek wanted and the reason he had not asked for privacy.
He was, however, beginning to get irritated at the nobles around him. They made no attempt to hi...

Chapter 66: The Crown
With Bronson leading them, the group was able to pass through the gate with no problems. A couple of the guards gave Derek and Thomas strange looks, but they did not dare say anything with Bronson around.
The first things that Derek noticed when entering the noble district was a gigantic building with multiple floors. There was a balcony on the top floor. It had to be at least six floors tall. Of course, it was nothing compared to some of the skyscrapers Dere...

Chapter 65: Torith
Derek looked around the city as they slowly walked down the street. It was big. Not as big as some of the pre-system cities in his world, but it was definitely up there in size. Bronson had explained the layout of the city to Derek on the way there.
It was really basic, and according to Bronson, it was the preferred style of city layout. It was a giant city, within circular walls. Of course, he had also seen some small huts and houses surrounding the city before...

Chapter 64: Interlude/Anomaly
Darvin was in the meeting room waiting for Kelvin. The human leader had been personally gathering information on planet C-186. In the recent months, the system’s speed towards the anomaly had been increasing, and the human, Derek Hunt, was the only lead that Darvin and the other council members had.
When the system introductory phase on C-186 ended, Kelvin had rushed to the planet to learn everything there was to know about Derek. Yesterd...

“Sorry to keep you waiting.” Derek said to Bronson as he walked out of the house.

“Yup, everything’s done. Just got to make a quick stop on our way out and pick up my sidekick.”
“Oh? So you are taking that boy with you?”
“Yeah… Oh, and his grandpa is the guy with the map. You should return it when we see him. I’m pretty sure that thing was like a second grandson to ...

Chapter 62: Goodbye
When Derek arrived at the Village Chief’s house, Rayna was already at the door waiting for him. “Come on in.” Rayna said, then she turned to lead him inside.
Entering the meeting room, Derek looked around to see some familiar faces. Richard was there, along with Leon and his wife, Sana. Delilah was not there, but Derek figured that she was spending every second she could with Thomas. Surprisingly, Bart had made his way from the inn to the meeting room too...

Chapter 61:
Bronson retired to his rented room in the village inn. Normally, the small undecorated room with an even smaller bed would have made him scoff. Currently, though, his mind was racing, and it did not even pick up on the state of the room.
What was that? He was, of course, referring to the obvious threat that Derek had given him. Bronson thought back to all the time he spent with Derek throughout the day. The man’s attitude and personality had switched constan...

I may have to go and change the description of evolved Silvi. The pic is in revision, shortening the horn and ears some, but this is the commission of Silvi. I wanted it ready for the evolution chapter, but it was a bit late, and still needs a bit of a revision.

Chapter 60: Remember
The two men and the bunny made their way to the village. It was the first time Silvi was going to be able to go to a human village without being attacked or killing, so, after understanding what was going on, she was very excited.
‘How many humans? Can we kill? We can’t eat, but can we kill?’ Silvi was rattling off question after question. Derek was doing his best to answer and explain.
‘It’s a human village, so, although there are...

Chapter 59: Who’s that Pok….?
Floating down from where the purple cocoon had vanished from was not the little bunny Derek had expected to see. Staring at the new beast, Derek was beginning to wonder if the horned rabbit actually had some kind of relation to an actual unicorn.
The creature finally landed on the ground, and Derek got a closer look. The bunny’s previous grey, puffy fur had flattened everywhere other than its mane. That’s right, Silvi had grown a small mane ar...

Derek looked down at the struggling grey rabbit in his arms and smiled. Well, now I don’t have to run around looking for you. He thought. He quickly used Identify on the bunny and was surprised to find it at level 64. “You’ve been working hard since the last time we met, huh?” Derek spoke to the Horned Rabbit as it turned its head in confusion.

Derek stood behind and watched as Bronson inspected the body. He walked a little closer, as if to have a better look. “Oh, are those the storage rings from the dungeon?” Derek quickly swiped one of the rings before Bronson could react. Bronson stared at him. Got to keep you from focusing too hard on the body.

“I’m afraid I’ll have to stand.” Bronson spoke. He was surprised with this ravishing blonde village chief. When he used Identify, it came back as a level 50 warrior. Sure, seeing level 50s and better was normal in Torith, but in a village such as this one, he had not expected. In fact, he was still reeling from the oddly dressed, cocky man with haunting purple eyes that smiled at him earlier.
His level 12 Identify had failed wh...

The next morning, Derek woke up and went back to the courtyard. He thought that he had risen early, but Brandi was already at it with her Leatherworking. He walked up behind her and waited for her to reach a stopping point.
“So, found anything else out about your class?” He asked.
She jumped, as she had been focusing all of her mind on her craft. Turning around, she replied. “I did, actually. I hit level 11 earlier. Instead of getting four points ...

Derek nodded and looked to Thomas. “You better go check in with your grandma.” He smiled. Thomas agreed and left.

Hey everyone, I just wanted to give a heads up. I've been interviewing for jobs lately, as 'The Unmentionable Sickness' has hit me and my family pretty hard. Anyway, I was finally able to land a pretty good one. Now, this shouldn't affect the release rate of chapters, but I may have to change up the scheduled time for release. It really depends on which shifts I work.

Derek approached the tomb door and opened it. This time, he did not have to worry about an enemy pushing inside. There was still the one remaining skeleton that he had not previously killed.
He stepped out and closed the tomb behind him. He walked over to his killing ground and found the one skeleton that still had a soul fire burning. Lifting his hand, he cast Chain Lightning. Small streaks of lightning flew from his fingertips toward the ...

The blinding light disappeared, and Derek found his footing. His first thought was to make sure that they were all in a safe room, as this was the first level 100 dungeon they had explored. Derek looked around. They were all enclosed in a stone room.
The air was still, and there was a gloominess that sent a chill down his spine. “Alright everyone, you all stay safe in here. Don’t open the door after I close it. I’ll come get you all when I’m...

Chapter 48: Stat Time
After looking over his stats for a few minutes, Derek had a general idea of what he wanted to do. Vitality and Endurance would always be his go to stats, but with the mana costs of his void skills, Wisdom was going to be a must if he ever wanted to be able to use them consistently. He was not sure how much Intelligence modified the strength of the skills, but everything he used void on seemed to die almost instantly, so Intelligence was the least of his worries.

The duo marched through the second phase of the dungeon with as much ease as the first. The new wolves, though bigger and tougher, still fell to Rayna’s Wind Blade. It took a couple more casts, but they still had less defense than the bears from wave one.
They had been in the dungeon for less than a day, and everyone, other than Brandi and Derek, was making rapid progress. Soon, Malorie had used her blade staff and killed the last remaining ...

It was not long before the area was completely bereft of wolves. They had decimated seven packs already. The wolves ranged from level 44 to 49. Luckily, Derek only shared half the experie...

After walking outside, Derek scanned the area. The dungeon was a ‘beast’ type dungeon, and he could see different wolves, bears, and other beasts roaming around. Unlike the previous cave with the insects, the area he was now in had a sky instead of a ceiling. Derek could not help but think about how the dungeons were created upon seeing this.
He was standing on a hilly plain area with the occasional tree. I guess this dungeon is a completely open a...
