Chapter 479: Echoing Willow

“Come on,” Alanah finally said. After that, the two of them walked the rest of the distance to the edge of the abyss—where Ryven was unable to go. It didn’t take very long before Derek and Alanah were standing at the very edge, looking down at the steep drop off.

“Whew…” Derek whistled. “That’s a long way down,” he said.

“Yes, it is,” Alanah replied. “Close your eyes and listen,” she said. “Do you feel ho...

Chapter 478: Borrowing the Right Elf

“You?” Derek asked. “You can help us sneak through multiple encampments full of some of the entire kingdom’s strongest guards and fighters? I’m sure you hit it off with them, but I doubt they like you enough to allow you to bring a human through.”

“Oh, no, it’s nothing like that,” Ryven replied. “You forget, I am not only th...

Chapter 477: Just Another Elf

“Follow us,” Derek said, then took the lead and slowly moved back to within sight of the edge of the danger area where all the settlements were located.

“This place doesn’t look familiar…” Ryven said once they stopped, and he was able to get a good look around. “We’re definitely not in Indria, Cydaria, or Indaria… at least I don’t think we’re in Indaria. I’ve done quite a bit of studying the kingdoms lately. Where ...

Chapter 476: Strange Encampments

“So… that is your home country?” Derek asked. Both he and Alanah were already wearing cloaks, covering them from head to toe to hide their identities as a human and a half-elf once they passed through into Linderis. Currently, they were still on the Vorandell side of the border, but when they wanted to, it would only take them mere moments to move to the other, less accommodating, country.

“Yeah,” Alanah replied. “That’s ...

Chapter 475: Border Town

Chapter 475: Border Town

As Derek and Alanah walked through the streets of Kyllar, Derek took note of how much it resembled some of the cities in Cydaria. To be exact, the city very closely resembled Wilmette—the city, which was in the closest proximity to Torith, now Searidge. It wasn’t a huge city like the capital, or a bustling business city like Savannah, but it still had the mix of people that one would see in any of the big cities in Cydaria. He passed humans, elv...

Chapter 474: Shopkeepers

“Uh…” Derek muttered. “Is all of that going to be okay over there?” He pointed at the broken jars and materials scattered around on the ground.

“Huh?” Nick turned and looked to where Derek was pointing, then said, “How did all of that get over there?” He stared intently at the mess, then shrugged. “Should be fine.” Finally, he turned back around. “Now, what do the two of you fine customers need?”

“Well, sir.�...

“There we go,” Alanah said as she stopped in mid-air and pointed toward the shore.

“What is it?” Derek asked.

“We’ve technically crossed over into Vorandell,” the siren answered.

“How do you know?” Derek asked. He looked toward the shore and squinted to see better.

“If you look closely, you can see the shape of those cliffs,” Alanah said before pulling out her out-of-date map. “At least some things hav...

Chapter 472: Modestist

“Hey!” Derek said with false indignation as he took a step forward toward the man. He was, after all, playing his new role as the blunt and dumb friend. “Your sympathies? What the hell is that supposed to mean?”

“I…” The guard was slightly taken aback. “I just… I know the feeling,” the guard finally said—his eyes finding Alanah’s and avoiding Derek’s.

“Relax, Derek,” Alanah replied with a sigh as she reached o...

Chapter 471: My Dumb Friend

“Hey!” Derek said, snapping his fingers at Alanah to get her attention after standing back up. “You okay?”

“Huh?” Alanah shook her head quickly, like she was clearing out some thoughts. “Oh… I’m fine. It… it’s just been a while. I wonder if the commonpeople still remember me.” She let out a sigh. “I know that there are some that will still remember me. There is no way they would be able to ever forget abou...

Chapter 470: Over the Sea

“Wouldn’t it have been easier if we had brought your wyvern along?” Derek asked as he sat down on the little boat that was nothing more than a dingy that Alanah had pulled out to rest on.

“Easier? Probably,” Alanah said. “But it wouldn’t have been nearly as quick. With our skills and stats, I’m sure we are traveling twice as fast as that wyvern would have been able to. It would have needed breaks to rest too, and I do not have...

Chapter 469: Good Luck

“What was all that about?” Alanah asked as Derek came to stand beside her. They both stared at the spot where Asher had just disappeared from.

“I wanted to see what Asher thought about the space made when I Void Travel…” Derek said. “I didn’t expect the beast to have such a reaction to it.”

“So… Asher is okay in there?” she asked.

“I don’t know,” Derek said. “He seemed to be in pretty excruciating pain, ...

Chapter 468: Survival of the Strongest

“So…” Derek started. “Earlier, you mentioned that the other Void Beast may have been trying to kill and consume me.”

“Yes?” Asher tilted his head and answered.

“What kind of power boost do you think I would have provided the beast if it had been able to do so?” he asked.

“What kind of power increase?” the beast muttered. “It is much too hard to tell. Was your power at that time as devastating a...

Chapter 467: Asher

“You know,” Derek said to Alanah. “I think you’re right. We’ll call it quits for Void Beast hunting today.” Then he turned back to look at the Void Beast in the air in front of him. “Would you mind coming down with me and answering a few questions about the void and other things?” He asked because the beast didn’t seem too opposed to having a conversation with a human, and he didn’t know when he would get another opportunity like the o...

Chapter 466: New Boss?

Chapter 466: New Boss?

Looking up at the broken sky and into the void, Derek stared at the beast. The way it had shattered the sky and caused shards to fly at a nearly unperceivable pace automatically told him that the beast they were dealing with was one with intelligence. None that he faced, other than the ones that had this intelligence, had the ability and power to cause the sky to fracture and break out of the void in such a manner.

Yet somehow, it looked differe...

Chapter 465: It's Your Show

Chapter 465: It’s Your Show

Derek closed his eyes and felt the void building up inside him once again. With another thought, he activated his skill, and the gathered energy exploded into the sky again. Instead of changing his focus to recovering his mana this time, Derek prepared Void Call again.

Before any Void Beast made a move to break out of the void, Derek already had another beam of energy flying into the sky. But he didn’t stop there. His natural recovery w...

Chapter 464: Unexpected Reaction

Chapter 464: Unexpected Reaction

“Umm…” Alanah rubbed her chin in thought. “I’m not sure,” she finally said, after thinking for a few moments. “I don’t think I’ve ever seen a Void Beast so… passive. They are usually either very angrily rushing toward whoever is closest, or very angrily running away because of their instincts telling them to flee.” The woman walked up to the beast, then, with her pointer finger, poked it on the back of its head, which w...

Chapter 463: The Real Beast

Chapter 463: The Real Beast

As Derek had found out before when he was farming Void Beasts by himself, the call to draw the beasts near was near instant, but their response was not. So, once he watched the purple beam of void energy disappear and focused on regaining his mana, he let out a sigh.

“If we are going to be farming Void Beasts, shouldn’t we message Avery and Silvi to come out? I’m sure our communication crystals would work with us being this close to S...

Chapter 462: We Wait

“It has certainly been something that I’ve thought about since the question marks disappeared and I was able to see numbers above 1,500,” Derek explained to the siren.

“I would be the same,” Alanah replied. “Currently, I am interested in what it takes to unlock such a possibility. Even though I am soon to ascend, I continue to have the ‘cap’ of 1,500 stat points in each stat. However, I know that it is one of the things which you c...

Chapter 461: The Impossible

Derek went over the new Achievement in front of him a few times—not really knowing what was going on. He understood that he had received an Achievement, but he had never had one that was so… odd. Finally, he decided to go over it one last time just to make sure he wasn’t missing something.

What does all of this mean? Derek had gaine...

Chapter 460: Level 245

Chapter 460: Level 245

Watching Silvi as they continued to run the avian dungeon was a treat. Derek’s little murder bunny companion was basically in heaven, as she seriously selected the best birds for cooking during each entry. He had heard the phrase over and over back on Earth, but Silvi truly was like a kid in a candy store.

Now, the avian dungeon was much simpler to complete and restart than the golem dungeon before. Since the golem dungeon had time limits on eac...

Chapter 459: Juicy Birds

“Calm down, Silvi,” Derek said with a chuckle. “You just joined at the end of the dungeon when we were about to leave, that’s all. We’re going to do the dungeon multiple times—you’ll be able to get yourself a bunch of poultry.”

“I thought I would make it,” Silvi’s voice chimed out through her communication crystal. “Even took the cake out a little early. It’s very moist now, but still good.”

“You still have ...

Chapter 458: A Poultry Dungeon

“You cheated,” Alanah said as they stood at the entrance to the next dungeon.

“Nope,” Derek replied. “You didn’t say I couldn’t use Void Shift.” Somehow, Alanah was still faster than Derek, even with his increased dexterity and his Powerstride skill. However, this time, he was at least able to stay behind the siren without losing sight of her. When he saw the dungeon orb getting close, he shifted into the void and made hi...

A/N: Happy 4th of July to those who celebrate it! Happy Thursday to those who don't! Hope you all have great days!

Chapter 457: Priorities

Hearing Derek’s question, Alanah quickly pulled out a map from her storage ring. After unfolding it, she marked some spots on it, then passed the map to Derek. Derek took the map from her and began examining it.

“These are…” he started.

“Those are the thr...

Also, I still need to do the exp calculation (hence the needs update) and I noticed that I forgot to adjust the Bare Fist level on this stat sheet after I posted. I’ll correct it tomorrow.

Chapter 455: Deathsworn

Chapter 455: Deathsworn

The first wave began and Derek immediately launched himself towards a corner of the battlegrounds where one of the golems spawned. Just like Alanah had explained, the four Deathsworn and Alanah all stuck by his side.

“I can gain just about as much skill experience fighting a single one as I would if I went through and fought against them all,” Derek said as they moved forward. “So… once everyone hits the one in front of me to reduce the...

Chapter 454: The Plan

“Yeah, I know most everything else,” Alanah replied. “And your story and explanations answer the other questions I would have had about your power. It also explains your void class, since you spent an ungodly amount of time inside a portal, and it explains why you were insistent that I try to grow closer to my class. And just to confirm… You have a Mythical Class, don’t you?”

“Sure do,” Derek confirmed her suspicions.

“Tho...

Chapter 453: Derek’s Story III (Final)

“How did I end up here?” Derek asked back with a laugh. “That’s actually a funny story,” he said.

“How so?” Alanah asked.

“Well, as you know now, I stuck to myself, and rarely every interacted with anybody,” he started. “There...

“What are you thinking about?” Alanah asked Derek, who was still lost in thought.

“Huh?” Derek came to and shook the thoughts out of his head. All this system bullshit is future Derek’s problem. Present me should focus on making the most out of...
