Daz had decided to show off a bit. He chose not to return any of his contracted gems to the Astral Crystal Plane as he made his way back to the casino where he'd left his family and friends.
His line of thinking was that he was bringing Rimmy's core along anyway, so what was the harm of showing off a little bit extra on top of displaying Rimmy's magnificence to everyone?
As he predicted, the people that he passed as he walked down the hallway all had widely-opene...

"Well, considering the rule of the auction constantly refreshing cooldowns on skills, I should be able to abuse this, right?" Daz asked himself more so than he did the system since he knew he'd get no answer to such a vague question.
He used his new class skill, Astral Crystal Control. Immediately, he felt himself being connected to the Astral Crystal Plane. Seconds ticked by as he felt several presences brush up against his soul, but they all lost interest after s...

"Grats on ranking up," Lone said to Hazel the second he and Soph returned.
It was clear that she had gone up from F-rank to E-rank in the time that he and Soph had delivered the hostages to Mystopolis' southern gate.
The girl was covered in sweat and clearly quite exhausted, but she still turned to face her brother and smiled. "Thanks. It wasn't that hard considering what this guy was thinking," Hazel said as she gestured to the C-ranker who was awkwardly standing the...

Lone soon contacted Soph and told her that it was safe for her and Breena to bring the kids to the bandits' castle.
The very next second, the two appeared alongside the five teenagers, startling the living shit out of the silently standing bandits.
"Lone!" Soph yelled excitedly as she hugged him and buried her face in his chest. After a few moments of enjoying his warmth, she raised her head and grinned as she looked up at him. "I protected them perfectly!"

So, I'm still writing it, but not as regularly.
It is a bit of a struggle to write 2 LTW chapters, 2 SIS chapters, 2 LTW rewrite chapters, 1 bonus chapter for LTW or SIS to add to the $15 tier as well as a DTD chapter per week.
What I've decided is that I'll write DTD when I have the motivation and the time, not just one or the other.
Writing 16,000 words a week is hard enough as it is without adding 2,000 on top of that which are hidden away (feedback such as likes on here ...

"T-This is a hideout for bandits?" George asked with pure shock in his voice.
In front of him, Hazel's and Lone's groups was a large castle befitting of a grand lord, however, it was isolated in a forest and there was no town nor village in sight.
Soph nodded cutely. "I can feel them. There are three S-rankers, twelve A-rankers, sixty B-rankers and just under a hundred C-rankers."
Lone smiled. "Perfect. Let's do this. Swind and Eolande, do you two mind goin...

"Do you mind if I check out your new classes, Rimmy?" Daz asked as he struggled to hide his joy. If there was anyone that he wanted to get stronger besides himself, it was Rimmy. Madison came in a close second while Hamson occupied third place.
"Rimmy!" Both the core and main body nodded their heads enthusiastically.
Daz didn't hesitate upon seeing that, so he immediately used Higher Identification on his friend's new classes.

[[New!] Master Crystal Identification [B-Rank (Higher Tier)]

Allows the host to identify any and all crystals and jewels. Due to being master rank, this skill cannot level up, but it also cannot be blocked.
Another skill added to the chopping block, I see.

"I can't accept this!" a tall woman dressed in the robes of The Chruch of The Primals screamed as she slammed her dainty fist down onto the round table she and three others were seated at.
One of the other three people - a man in a silky vestment lined with silver and gold - frowned. "Liza, I know how you feel. Trust me, I truly do. But what would you have yourself and your fellow Seekers do? Seek revenge?"
Liza arched her eyebrows up defiantly. "Exactly! What else do...

A/N: Changed how stats are shown slightly in status screens to better differentiate which stats are coming from items and which are not.

Daz had stayed with Rose, Madison, Crusher, Dorian and Vanessa until it was time for the next auction, at which point, he said he'd be back in a short while. After all, the auctions - despite lasting for hours - no actual time passed as they were held.

Scott laughed. "You need to stop getting so worked up over everything Lone does." He put his hands behind his head as he said, "Just get used to it."
Eolande nodded as she floated alongside the boys. "I couldn't agree any more. Husband is very similar to a natural disaster: Unless you have a good understanding of how it works, it's best to just assume it's the work of a higher power."...

The hall was silent save for the sound of the guards praying to Lone and the occasional noise of rustling paper as he flipped the pages of the book he was reading to kill time.
Finally, as if to break the overly tense atmosphere, the door leading to the staff offices of the Merchant's Guild creaked open.
Heads turned, Lone's included. A tall and slim man with grey slicked-back hair and a respectable beard wandered into the room.

In response to her adorably shy attitude, Lone kissed the top of her head, making her let out a small sound of joy like...

"Death Energy Solidification," Daz and his two clones said together.
Immediately, four extra bulging arms grew on their bodies; one above and one beneath each of their normal arms.

The $15 tier has now been created. Yay. I got around to it.
First and foremost, any chapters that get added to that tier WILL NOT affect the normal 2-chaps-per-week schedule for either story.
A secondary note: I wouldn't suggest upgrading to or subbing to that tier until it is completed unless you just want to support me more and/or are willing to part with the extra dollars despite the extra content not being that much for now.
Love ya all,

Daz was by himself now. He had told Rose, Madison and Vanessa that he planned to find the winning slot machines in the lord and champion equivalents of this casino before checked a few other ones.

He and Rose were now in a brightly-lit casino that was filled with an assortment of gamblings devices and games like slot machines and card-game tables.
The two of them were in one of the many restaurants that were inside of this massive casino. They had chosen a Korean-based one. Well, it was alien, of course, but the food they served was similar to that of their eastern heritage. Daz wasn't sure why Rose insisted the...

Lone, Soph and Eolande split from George and Scott once they had reached the diamond floor where the diamond-grade suites were.
Even though there were only twenty such suites in total, and despite the fact that all of their suites were right next to each other, Lone still gifted the two boy's with a modified communication orb to contact him should something happen.
Since neither of them could wield mana, Lone just told them to crush the orbs physically. It would ...

George led Lone, Soph, Eolande and Scott to what looked like a grand castle of some sort. If it wasn't for the large metal and fluorescently-enchanted sign saying 'Madam Cortelle's Palace of Rest', then Lone wouldn't have believed that it was supposedly a hotel.
It had taken them thirty minutes of walking to reach this place, and it was situated in a very expensive-looking part of the city. George called this district 'the merchant's quarters'. A fitting name, Lone tho...

Pheldorapod coughed lightly and spoke to Daz in his usual voice. "Due to the items size, Dear Customer, you shall be granted a temporary skill to allow you to move it with comfort. I assume this is okay with you?"
Daz nodded.
"Lovely! In that case, I look forward to seeing you use your other tickets, Dear Customer," the Octopus said with a very happy tone.
Daz was then teleported back to his private booth and the next item was wheeled onto the stage.
