HC:Pacifist | Ch. 132 - We Mediate

“Mom…”

“My baby. My beautiful baby.” She caressed his face and checked him from top to bottom, looking for wounds or any signs of mistreatment. “You have a little bit less hair here,” she said as her hands searched his forehead. “Your father also began losing some of his hair, but it was much later in life.” Tearing up, she looked him in the eyes. “Prison has been tough on you, hasn’t it, son?”

“Mom, I’m so sorry for all that’s happened. This is all m...

SNAP CRAFT | Ch. 7 - Daisy Blues

Summer of 345, A.D.

Since Neil returned, he hadn’t been at any of the bonfires. When Kai asked Trudy about him, she shook her head sadly and told him that Neil probably needed some time. Against all recommendations, Kai was now standing before his door and knocking on it.

No one answered.

“Neil! Come on. It’s me, Kai.”

“Go away, lad.” Came a hoarse voice from the other side.

“Come on, I just want to t...

HC:Pacifist | Ch. 131 - Seismic Scan

The first thing Roth had to do was try to salvage as much of the situation as possible. He picked himself up and went to see Soros. He walked down the hallway and knocked at Soros’ door.

“Come in!”

Roth found the old man running happily toward him and embracing him. “Broker! That’s a new look you have there. Are you a lizardman now?”

“Actually, I’m in snake form.”

“Of course you are, of course. Here, come right this way. I was beginning to think tha...

HC:Pacifist | Ch. 130 - Region Announcement

Roth swam with all his might for as long as he could. Even though the water only came up to his knees in his normal form, he could swim in it in miniaturized form. When he saw a flash behind him, he went blind for a few seconds. When his vision returned, he noticed how his camouflage was slightly blurred. He hoped that his small size and the water had been enough to evade Gary’s attention.

Gary had probably overheard the elevator. He kept swimming underwater for as long as he could. W...

HC:Pacifist | Ch. 129 - Dead Quiet

Roth gulped. He’d almost made a terrible mistake. If he hadn’t noticed that Mario still wasn’t going up after the coast was clear, he would have gone up and walked right into a trap. Gary! He was a rogue and was probably using [Camouflage]. Memories of him and Gary patiently waiting for their targets to appear and springing up from the shadows to slaughter them caused a shiver to run down his spine. It was so like Gary. He loved to run ambushes like this.

Even if Gary was still he...

“Haha. Oh, man! I should have holographed you, Kai. Your face when you were tased was priceless.”

“That’s just too funny, Alex.”

After another day of studying, Kai and Alex were walking home. Today had been yet another nightmarish, practical lesson taught by Neil.

“And weren’t you happy that Ariel was reading poetry to you?”

“Shut up, Alex!”

Roth had been stuck at level 9 for several hours, and the more he crafted, the less experience these basic recipes gave him. If it weren’t for the stacked effects of [All-Nighter] and [Entitled], he didn’t know how much longer it would have taken him to level this fast. How much harder was it then to reach the higher levels?

The progress bar was steadily increasing, and he should be...

Kai was surprised that he hadn’t been the first to arrive. Neil had lit the fire, and Alex, intrigued by what Neil had prepared for this lesson, had been the first to arrive.

“Hey, Alex.”

“Hey, Kai. Sup?”

“So. What has that old fox cooked up this time?”

“I heard that!” Neil barked from a distance. Alex and Kai laughed.

“I don’t know. But it looks fun. I hope ...

HC:Pacifist | Ch. 126 - A Minus

It had only been a few hours since Juliette had taught Roth how to knit, and the knowledge was still fresh in his mind. He started by making the very same item that he'd created with her help. The [Woolen Cloth] only required one [Sheep Wool Yarn], and from what he gathered in the forums, it was an item that was easily sold as the bonuses were attractive enough to players wanting to increase their performance in dungeons.

Especially when trying out for guilds, every little bit of help c...

Snap Craft | Ch. 3 - Gestalt Theory

Summer of 343, A.D.

"Neil, please tell me today isn't another practical class." After the snakes and Damocles' sword exercises, Kai dreaded Neil being the firekeeper again. It had been a while since Neil last taught a purely theoretical class, and Kai hoped today would be his lucky day.

"Relax, Kai. It isn't."

Kai sighed in relief.

"The set-up for the next practical class has been surprisingly difficult to arrange. I’ve got to ...

[Deal the Cards] allows you to have access to potentially many more skills. Allow me to explain. As a greenie cardmaster, you can start with two skill decks of five cards each. As you progress in the profession, you have access to more decks, shorter cooldowns, and more skills per deck.

In novice grade, you're able to have three decks of six skill slots each while the cooldown goes down to 22 hours. And this is before any cooldown reduction is factored in!

Snap Craft | Ch. 2 - Damocles' Sword

Summer of 343, A.D.

“Who here has heard of the story of Damocles?” asked Neil. It was still too soon to say if this was a prelude to another practical lesson or if it was just a purely theoretical one. Trudy raised her hand, but everyone else kept their hand down. Kai wasn’t surprised that Trudy knew the story. Sometimes, it seemed like she knew everything. That’s what happened when you were a gazillion years old.

"Hello, Roth.” H was still in the same cubicle in a library. “What's going on over there? Are your former friends still outside the lab?"

"Yes, I'm stuck here for the time being. I'm trying to keep myself busy. Do you need any help with the rescue library? How far along have you gotten?"

"Let me show you." H nimbly moved his hands in the air, and shortly after, Roth was looking at a part of H's screen. "As you can see, I've been through everything related to classes, races, an...

Snap Craft | Ch. 1 - Box of Snakes

Summer of 343, after Daisy (from now on, referred to as A.D.).

The sun had risen, and Neil had already started the sunrise bonfire. He wore his signature khaki shorts and an explorer's hat, which Kai was sure had never been considered fashionable, but Neil defended as an essential item on a survival kit. Even though Kai had asked many times what difference it made to wear the hat out of the simulation, he hadn’t yet received a satisfying answer.

They came out empty after looking for the Slayer for an hour.

"Still nothing," said Xana ominously. "There has to be something else. There's no way the Slayer could have found something that none of us can't. After all, we're much higher level than he is."

As the elevator descended, contrary to his expectations, he discovered he wasn't the last to arrive at the meeting. Drake, H, and Pete were missing. The first person he saw was Maggie, who was cleaning components in the racks. Mario was off the distance running diagnostics on a gatorbot that wasn't working correctly. Usually, he did this shortly before going out to roam the sewers. He should be at the end of one of his cycles.

The blonde tailor in the long wool dress jumped in fright, surprised by Roth's appearance. She now regarded him with an annoyed look for having startled her.

Good job frightening an NPC!

+1 subterfuge.

Roth sighed. It hadn’t been his intention at all to scare Juliette. Still, seeing that scaring NPCs gave subterfuge points was good to know.

Things were busy, as always, in the Peace Corps building. Officers ran to and fro, delivering peace to the city.

The trip back to Hilsford had been uneventful for the most part. The sheep thief hadn't appeared again, and Roth rediscovered the joy of being able to enter the city through the front gate. After so many trips between the Green Woods and Hilsford, Roth had to admit that he had grown fonder of the city since he had unlocked his class and mask.

Greetings everyone!

Thank you all for your very generous support and for sticking with me and my story. I can't thank you enough for all you guys do for me. I really appreciate you.

I would like to tell you today about my return to writing after my holidays. It's funny to go back to several drafts I had put away before the holiday with a fresh pair of eyes. Things that seemed difficult to piece together suddenly become clear and you feel the power of rest!

As the impact shook the building, Joey struggled to keep balance. “Is it an earthquake?” screamed Joey,

“No, I don’t think so. It sounds as if it’s coming from outside.”

They ran toward the exit of the precinct. As they left the building, they heard screams in the streets. The ground kept shaking. People all around them were yelling while pointing East. Following their gaze, they finally saw it. Blocking the sun and standing tall amidst a cloud of dust and debris was a...
