"So what Embers did you pick?" Daz asked.
Mu nodded and answered, "Loneliness, suffering, and sweeping."
Daz knew basically nothing about Embers since he couldn't consult anyone on the topic unless they had a high enough access level or already knew about embers, so he was greatly intrigued by both what these Embers of Mu's could do and why he had chosen those three from the ...

No bullshit, I basically took this week as a vacation. I've cleaned up the owed chapters from last week except for the LTW Rewrite chapter that's almost done and I've just been relaxing.
I've been planning a bunch of stuff for both stories and the rewrite of LTW, though mostly stuff for SIS. A lot of stuff for SIS, in fact.
On top of the planning I've just been binge reading fictions, playing video games, unwinding in general.
This week wasn't planned as a short break, it ju...

'Use Haste here to side-step the spear safely.'
'Use Spear Mastery's Pierce here to force him to block.'
'I know it isn't my weapon so I shouldn't really use it, but this is a perfect opportunity for Tail Spears. Some threatening feints will help a lot.'
'Shit, he saw through it. Weapon Block. Gotta make sure to block with the flat side. I can't be wasting time fixing his spear again, nor MP, for that matter. That wasn't a cheap re...

"It seems the only joint missions at mark-1 are subjugation missions, huh?" Daz noted as he held his chin in his hand curiously.
Master Merit nodded. "Such is the case for a very long time, Your Majesty. It's very rare for a more complex mission to appear on the boards at this level. Subjugations, collection, or inspection. That roughly sums up all of the missions we'll ever see at this level of the guild."
Daz nodded. "Seems so. Give me a second, I want to try someth...

Lone had been hit by Hubert's perfectly normal thrust a total of 17-times so far.
Each time made sure to make a show out of his seemingly grievous injury, going so far as to purposefully halt his passive healing - now a far more difficult task than ever before due to how unbelievably potent Regeneration was when compared to it pre-evolution.
Hubert had been more than willing to help Lone rile up the crowd by displaying some of his more flamboyant but less powerful tec...

"If you wouldn't mind, Sir, please pick up the dumbbells in front of you as soon as you're ready," the employee kindly asked of Daz.
The reaper nodded and did as he was told.
"Excellent. Now, Sir, if you could, please do 100 reps. You are allowed a short minute-long break every 20 reps, though I would advise against it as relaxing your muscles before immediately straining them again, can, in some cases, cause more harm than good," the man requested.

"I am going to attack you with a simple thrust. I'll be putting all of my intent into this strike and shan't be holding back," Hubert said. "I am very aware of your ability to heal even the most fatal of wounds so it shouldn't be an issue if you are struck. Try your utmost to block, though."
Lone nodded. "I'll do my best."
He willed Saturn to transform into its Swordspear of Immortal Slaying form, revealing the two long ethereal spears with thick, sword-like tips.

"Your Majesty, Miss McArthur," Master Merit called through his rough breathing. "I'm glad I caught you."
"Is everything okay?" Daz asked in concern.
"Oh, more than okay, Your Majesty!" Master Merit claimed as he took a quick moment to catch his breath. "I came rushing over the instant I sensed a great opportunity to generate pure profit appearing. I would be a fool to ignore such a thing when my main goal is to be the richest person on planet Earth."

Vanessa subconsciously stuck her tongue out as she felt the sparks of her metalworking bounce off of her face.
She was strong enough to avoid any damage from such things and it actually felt quite refreshing, though she still wore goggles since her eyes weren't quite as durable as her skin was.

Daz practised for a few hours and was struggling to accurately mimic what his father had done to help him. He had actually purchased five more memory-reliving pills to watch the process again, but he still wasn't having much luck even after his 6th attempt.
It was now a little before four in the morning and the reaper was growing worried. "Rose said it was today, but when today?"
Her condition had nothing to do with his survival at all so his instincts wouldn...

A frown covered Lone's face. "I'm not getting any more skill levels..."
Nothing was really happening to him right now besides that fact that he hadn't taken a breath of oxygenated air in over 10-minutes. That and the Grand Aqua Serpent kept coiling around him and biting his body, but neither of those things phased him when he could passively heal most of the damage and cover the rest with MP from the Eternal Mana Crystal.
Hell, the magical monster trying its best to e...

The family of three and Rose's close friend Vanessa had played games from noon late until the evening when Rose had gotten tired and shooed everyone out so she could sleep.
Just before Daz had left, however, she had told him something very important.

[Denied. The system does not own the Embers nor does it govern them, it only categorises them for hosts to more easily learn about them.]

"Huh, so the king's actually stayin' put fer once?" a miner asked his friend as the two of them were taking a break in the Rob and Chris Mine.
Over the past month both Chris and Robert had spent their spare merit points on upgrading the mine - with Daz's permission, of course. As a result, they had become co-owners of the building and will remain so until they die or stop being Daz's citizens.
In light of that, they'd given it a name, though admittedly, a simple one.<...

Well, first thing's first, I want to let you all know that I'll be having surgery in less than 12-hours from now. It's nothing serious, I'm just getting my wisdom teeth pulled out, but since I'll be going under general anaesthetic, I've been told to spend the following 24-hours after the procedure with someone so I don't hurt myself or anything like that.

It seems that I can't deselect any tiers for new posts or edit old posts to include new tiers without including every single tier.
Pretty fucking crippling bug, but considering how severe it is I imagine it will be fixed soon.
If you don't understand, what this means is that if I posted a new chapter (which I was about to do for SIS), then it would be viewable by all tiers, not just the $15 tier, which is what it is normally like for new chapters then I edit older ones to allow lo...
