Lone somehow found the courage to speak to the old man who wasn't emitting any aura at all but was just as, if not, even more, terrifying to him than Ythmagobla's Dragon Fear was. "Who are you and what do you want?"
"Kekekeke... I already... told you... my name, but... I suppose... that... doesn't suffice. Hmm... To answer you... I am the Adjustor... Ever tweaking... Ever modifying... Ever... adjusting... Kekekeke..." Tapper's laughter had a certain charm to it...

Daz wasted no time and immediately asked the system to show him his crime list. His curiosity far outweighed any fears he had about what crimes he had committed and thought were actually crimes by his own sense of justice.
[Daz's Crime List
2,401 cases of pickpocketing.
89 cases of shoplifting.
232 cases of beating people within an inch of their lives in the name of self-defence when it wasn't strictly nece...

'Fuck! I can't run! Even if the second one is aiming at me, the first one hasn't finished yet!' Lone yelled in his mind as he and Saturn continued to battle against the Darkness Breath being aimed at the people in the forest.
Never before had Lone wished so badly that his unique skills didn't have restrictions. They had always seemed fair and reasonable until now. "Mental Destruction won't kill him, and because of Darkness, it won't stop his skill... ...

It had been some time now since Bob had left Daz's workshop. The Reaper remained seated there in deathly silence. The former mayor's words echoed in his head once more.

Finally finished. I'm not sure if it was worth the obscene amount of time, to be honest. I even had to get the artist from Garadia's art, Shu, to finish this up by adding the name since Sinpathy, the original artist, refused to do it properly.
I do like it, but after almost, what, 5 months? I'm just exhausted with this and happy it's done.

There will probably only be 1 chapter per story this week, maybe 2 for 1 story, probably SIS.
Now there's a bunch of reasons for this, but mainly, Christmas is coming and today's my birthday, so even though I'm not 'busy' busy this week, I figured I'd treat myself by resting a little bit.
I started reading Metaworld Chronicles. It has quite a lot of grammar errors, but otherwise, its story is comparable to Mother of Learning in my opinion. It's also stupidly long, so I'm trying to...

Radiance didn't have nearly as much strength as Darkness did. Even if she was his direct opposite and a perfect opponent for Ythmagobla, Lone simple didn't possess any Radiance skills or Radiance primal energy, both of which he had plenty of when it came to Darkness.
While she tried her best with the help of Saturn, she was getting beaten fairly one-sidedly. Thankfully, her nature as Radiance allowed her to self-heal Lone's body without having to use up too much of his mana...

Harriot held her chin for a moment. "Why would you want to see that? I mean, don't you already know everything about yourself?" She was more than willing to help, but she couldn't avoid wondering why Daz wanted this when it seemed like a waste of time.

"Eh?! That was an XXX-ranker?!" Emma exclaimed as Hazel's group ran alongside Sophie's.
Ele'hunda nodded his head. "Yes. She was one of the four XXX-ranked generals of Ythmagobla. In fact, she was the strongest one."
George mumbled, "Won't that instantly boost your adventurer rank by, like, ten ranks or something? i'm so jealous."
Hazel didn't really care about her adventurer rank. She was somewhat skilled with a longsword, but her true ability was with alchemy ...

So, we've successfully passed the $500 mark that I set ages ago. I honestly never expected to reach this point. It is very humbling and fills me with pride to know that so many people are willing to pay for what I write. I never once imagined that I'd be able to happily introduce myself as a self-employed author to people, but you guys made that possible.
On the topic of the reward, some good and some bad news. I am working on it and have been for a few weeks now, but $500 really snuck up on u...

The chefs all bowed and hurriedly returned to their workstations while the head chef, a slim woman with ginger hair and a freckled face, approached Daz and curtseyed politely. "Greetings, Your Grace. I am the head chef, as made clear by my hat," she said as she smiled and scratched her neck a bit shyly. "It's an honour to meet you and cook for you and your people."

It didn't take very long for Eolande and Sophie to reach their destination. What they saw upon arriving, though, shocked them greatly.
Ele'hunda was struggling to free himself from the Succubus' whip that was coiled around his neck while Lipsilk was darting through the air dodging blows from the woman. She was essentially tying down the King with one hand, the one holding the whip, while her other hand furiously assaulted the Great Elder with punch after punch.

Daz stroked his now cleanly-shaven face as he walked through the halls of the keep's fifth floor. His first destination in his exploration of the building was the very top of it. The keep possessed a single spire that was stood at the apex and the centre of the place, just behind the battlements that encircled the entire keep's roof.
"Hey, Reika, do you have any guesses for what that room is?" Daz asked, surprising the little Demon Princess who was happily lazing about...

"Lone," Sophie suddenly said as she stopped gathering her mana. "I can feel a really really really big amount of mana flying towards the tree."
Lone stopped meditating and got up. He cracked his neck gently and sighed. "I guess he's here. How are you two doing on mana points?"
Eolande stretched and fluttered her wings lightly. "I have about thirty-percent back."
Sophie frowned. "I only have twenty-percent."
Eolande grinned. "I'm far more skilled at gatheri...

It didn't take very long for Ele'hunda to return to Lipsilk's side. Unexpected, Lipsilk had also sensed how dangerous the Succubus was, so he had chosen to trap her in a Fairy Barrier. This was a magic skill unique to the leaders of the Fairy race. While not nearly as versatile as Sophie's barriers, and lacking the ability to grow and improve, this skill more than made up for it with its sheer sturdiness.
Ele'hunda landed next to his friend and cast him a sidelong glance. "...

Daz was intrigued. "Okay, then what's the other reason?"

Lone's meditation was disturbed once more. He could feel one, no, two souls heading his way. He could barely sense one of them, however. He recognised the stronger soul as Eolande's.
'Wasn't she paired with Rachel? Is that who the incredibly weak soul belongs to? What on Earth happened?' Lone thought as he got up and looked in the direction they were both coming from.
In the distance, he could see Eolande with a tear-stained face flying through the air a...

After his lengthy talk with Rose, Daz decided to leave the keep and clear his head. the first destination he headed to was the Midechhe Travelling Bank.
As soon as he stepped through the doors, he was greeted by the staff member in charge of him, the blue-skinned and four-armed man who was wearing nice clothing and sporting a dashing smile.
"Greetings, Sir Reaper, or should I call you 'Sir Archreaper' from now on?" he asked jokingly.

A sea of flames surrounded the Emperor Slime, Benka, as he rampaged in the open plains and light thicket that was nearby. Everything he touched, either died instantly or slowly corroded away into nothingness.
Rachel, still clad in her flame-form, spoke to Eolande. "How many are left?"
Forty-two slime cores were floating next to the heavily sweating Tylwyth Teg. "I dunno... It's about a third smaller, so maybe another eighty?"
Rachel spewed flames from her palms ...

Swind creased his scaly brow as he looked at the horde of monsters and Darkness creatures that were approaching him and the rest of the army of the world tree.
From what he had heard from the people around him, the four generals of Ythmagobla had already arrived. Swind would be lying if he said that he wasn't worried about Rachel's safety. Of course, he cared about all of the Wanderers, but Rachel held a special place in his cold heart.
