Jack stumbled through the treeline, trying his best not to lose his balance. The dinosaur chasing him had crimson and blue scales and ran on two legs. It was as tall as a house, and to it, the thick bushes and trees that hindered Jack’s movements must have felt like blades of grass. Worst of all, with each step it took, the ground quaked. Every time he was close to outrunning it, Jack stumbled and fell.

Even though Roth didn't risk visiting the Union, he still felt comfortable enough to visit Golden Mountain Inc. Judging by the many new decorations around the office, Soros was doing even better for himself these days.
“You’ve been everywhere, haven’t you? Hmm… the lizards. Fascinating. And that includes the Eight Spires, all up in the swamps. Remarkable. Rare herbs and chemicals there. Good. Good.”
“And how is everything around here?” asked Roth.

Jack loved football, or soccer, as they called it in this sector. It was one of the vestiges of his cultural heritage. To this day, although he didn’t play, he kept track of Sector 3’s First Division, always rooting for a Portuguese team to win the title.
He’d even played on the school team. He hadn't been the worst or the best player, but he was definitely in better shape back then. After the short uphill walk from his house to the nearest park, his thighs burned, and his joints ...

Hi, there!
Chapter 270 of Hidden Class: Pacifist ends on a cliff when it says that Roth is about to enter a secret new location.
Any suggestions of what Roth should find there? I'd love to hear your suggestions.

“You’ve done well. This is beyond my expectations. Excellently done,” the professor praised as he stared at the pile of ceramics. “You were even able to find these pristine plates. Five of them no less. They will be a great contribution to our research. They might even make for excellent museum pieces.”
Jack’s heart was racing. This was the first time he was completing a quest on New Earth. Second, if he counted the tutorial, but that hadn’t been a quest. Even Amari, who w...

It took twice as long to return to Embersgate as it had to travel to the ruins. After losing the meal buff, they had only half the stamina, so the number of stops doubled. Thankfully, they didn't have any aggravating encounters with compis. They came across a couple more dinosaur shepherds and heard two scary roars in the distance, but nothing attacked them.
“Is it always this quiet in the jungle?” asked Jack. He had expected there would be more dinosaurs out and about.

Hi there! I'm setting up for releasing Hidden Class: Handyman, and I put this synopsis together. What do you think? Any suggestions?
"No. It's not the end of the world, and no, nobody is about to die. This isn't that kind of story.
However, Jack can be a little dramatic sometimes. When his girlfriend breaks up with him and accuses him of being immature, and his father scolds him for being unable to hold a job and tells him to start paying rent, it feels like his world is crumblin...

Note: I realize I called it Striped Lagoon in the previous chapter, but I did a little more research into what a lagoon is, and calling it a lake is more appropriate.
Thank you, and have fun!

The Striped Lake would have been more appropriately called a Striped Ocean. From this shore, Roth could not see the other side.
“Why is it called ‘striped’?” Roth asked curiously.

Roth wanted to ask Mel this question the most. Even though Drake and Sarg were very mature, wise men, Mel had something they didn’t. She was in the top 100 and knew how hard it would be to reach that level. She was also a member of the Krakens and knew how much help a powerful guild could be.

In the back of Jack’s mind, he realized that even though this tiny dinosaur seemed harmless when it was sitting still, now that it was attacking him, it looked twice as big. Before Jack could make sense of the situation, he reflexively positioned the buckler between him and the lunging dinosaur.

“You sure are a handful, young man,” said the sergeant. “Just when I thought you’ve done it all, you do this!”

“Nice! We can all have a party or something.”

The city gate was massive. Each door was the size of a three-story building.
“Why would they make doors this big?” Jack asked.
“What do you mean?” Amari answered, frowning.
“I thought that these walls were supposed to keep the dinosaurs out. Why make the doors large enough to let them in?”
“Oh, I see what you mean. Think about it. Whenever someone hunts a dinosaur, how could they ever bring it back to the city if the gate wasn't at least this big?...

When Obsidia proudly mentioned this was Lacertia’s Assembly Hall, Roth thought he would find lavish decorations and intricate furniture. Nothing could be further from the truth. The pavement was the same amalgamation of interlocked bones he’d walked on outside.
A few glass orbs with fireflies cast a ghostly glow, making the inside of the building feel gloomy. However, what the building lacked in finesse seemed to make up with treasures. An imposing mannequin clad in intricate ...

“When running a party quest, everyone chips in,” Amari preached as they made the short trip from the Historical Society toward the city gate. Amari seemed to be on a quest of his own. When he’d noticed that Jack knew almost nothing about the game or playing as a team, he seemed to have taken it upon himself to beat him into shape. After their early bout, Jack dared not to say anything for fear of angering his partner.
“Each time you go on a hunt or quest, you’re expected...
