Chapter 61 - Bit of a scrap

- The Realmnet: where unverified adventurers are Earthers, Leaflegends are elves that take too long getting out of their teen years, and accounts that insult the Witch Tyrant are children. @Lostcrow (Unverified)

“What the hell?!”

A giant fortress rose from the mountain. A mountain that was several times larger than Mount Everest. Dragonslayers launched an earth shattering bombardment that lasted for minutes. Ryan’s jaw kept dropping the longer the video went. From b...

Chapter 60 - Getting up to speed

Pinkie laughed her head off.

“Oh my god! Look at your face! Hahaha! When was the last time someone got the better of you?”

Ella Maizel sniffed at the other dragonslayer. Pinkie was in the sky, travelling at literal breakneck speeds towards the closest System portal. Though for both this was just like a stroll in the evening air.

Ella sniffed.

“Shut up. You and Gamielle both gave me bad information. That [Rogue] is a brute, not a plotter.”

Chapter 59 - The Tyrants' Secretary

*Just like its predecessor, very few truly know who created realmcoin. It took both worlds by storm as adventurers found an easier way to transact with each other in a trustless ecosystem whilst in The Realm. The rest was history as it was inevitably adapted into the Guild’s protocols, setting the coin in place as a secondary reserve currency. Just behind the United States Dollar.

Chapter 58 - Realm Two Rewards

All three exit portals in the leveled zones of the third sector were locked down. Multiple teams of Thirders were standing around, ready to deal with whatever came out. No matter who came out. When the alert had come in that the system portals were reinstated and that a Realm expansion wasn’t happening, all the third realm adventurers in standby were called.

Artigan had spat on the Guild’s honor. Along with the sudden unrest of over fifty blacklisted dragonslayers, someone had the b...

Chapter 57 - Third Trial, an Adventurer's duel

- Disaster! Witch Tyrant almost dies in an assault by 30 dragonslayers. The Dwarven Tyrant rises with a Legendary fortress, fighting off fifty dragonslayers on his own. 58 dragonslayers blacklisted for being involved. Mezhar fails the highest Trial. Chieftain Tyrant states that Mezhar was approved and was not involved in the assaults.

Chapter 56 - Third Trial, Training montage?

Author’s note: Chapter took a little bit longer because I had to sift through 50 future chapters and figure out why things didn’t match.

Turns out I never edited the timeline in the earlier chapters, dates have been changed for the highest Trial to be challenged.

Let me know if you still spot any new discrepancies.

Chapter 54 - Third Trial, Strategist Itrac

Valee shivered, all the scouts around her did. Screams echoed from the forest on the opposite side of the clearing. 

What was going on?

Did Artigan have another skill in his sleeve? Or was this part of the Epic? The sounds of everyone became muffled, the only thing that rang clear was laughter and screams for help. Her [Enhanced Senses] became a mess that only focused on the visceral sounds of death, stomps of a boot and scouts running for their lives.

Chapter 52 - Third Trial, schemed

It took an entire day of silent power walking through the snowy forest to get to the location he wanted. Ryan had taken detours and doubled back to check if any demon scouts had been following them but found nothing. It seemed like General Grivkas was as good as his word.

They arrived at the Trial entrance where Ryan had first come from. The demonic General looked in awe at the standing arch of stones amongst the low lying rubble.

“This is… a gateway?”

Grivkas marveled...

Chapter 50 - Dragonslayers vs Tyrants, part 3

The Dwarven Tyrant hated his title, you didn’t hear anyone call Paul the Orcken Tyrant. It turned out that changing the way people called you was more difficult than he first thought. He needed to do something big. Something that would cause enough of a fuss so that even Lihua’s fight would be overshadowed.

“Now after today you will call me the Smith Tyrant okay?” he paused, “no wait Smith is too common of a last name, call me Forgelord Tyrant? No wait, lord and Tyrant, nono. ...

Chapter 48 - Dragonslayers vs Tyrants, Part 1

The most feared Tyrant in the world was not the mightiest, not the quickest, nor the most magically destructive. The most feared Tyrant was a [Witch]. She was widely considered the second weakest of all the Tyrants yet she was still the most feared, the most hated. The reason? 

She was spiteful as all hell.

There had been a Healers’ Union once. It no longer existed. It didn’t matter if you were behind civilians, it didn’t matter if you hid in a bunker. Far too many deat...

Chapter 47 - Chieftain and Shadow

The highest Trial would only be challenged on the last seven days of the timer. At this time, the Tyrants would gather and five to all seven of them would challenge the highest Trial. It had been this way ever since the completion of the tenth Trial and hadn’t changed since. For it to happen while there were still thirty days left was unprecedented.

Time restarted in the Trial.

Chapter 43 - Bullipede, round two

A familiar sky greeted his eyes. He was standing on top of a particularly thick branch of a tree and looked up at the sky. Beautiful, larger, greater. Ryan rolled his shoulders and landed lightly on the ground. The clanking noise of all his gear set the birds within earshot fluttering away.

A wolf the size of a truck yelped in surprise and started sprinting from him. He chuckled and looked around.

The [Mage] appeared and yelled in his ears. View Post

Their trip to Seffara’s place was far smoother than it had been the other way round. They made their way to the airport where a fancy valet took Milo’s beat up car in confusion. Ryan gave the valet a cheeky wink.

The valet laughed in good humor. “Of course sir.”
