"It looks just like the archived picture on Rose's internet minus the new alien and fantasy-esque buildings... There are a shocking number of what seem to be... guilds? I wonder why," Daz thought aloud as he appeached Seoul atop Hamson.
'That is strange,' Reika commented. 'Do you think this place wasn't targeting during the waves?'
Daz shook his head. "This is likely the result of whatever threats Seoul faced being f...

Lone held the blue mana orb curiously as he rhetorically asked himself, "So, do I just will it like with the communication orb?"
Filling his mind with thoughts of triggering the sphere and funnelling it's stored power into himself, Lone was pleasantly surprised to see that he was right. He was then immediately regretful of his very vague thoughts.
Energy flowed into him like a flood. His veins turned bright blue and glowed under his skin as they bulged, threatening to...

Several days passed as Daz worked tirelessly to help establish the rule of both Rocky and Pai-han.
Rocky's inauguration was a simple matter, really. He was already the high lord of Gem Kingdom - Arizona's main ruling body - before he had been tasked with controlling all of Nevada as well. Considering Daz's displays of power in Las Vegas and factoring in how close his own centre of command was to Rocky's, things went smoothly.
Pai-han and Taiwan, on the other hand, was...

Lone was in awe upon seeing the entrance to Kreig Moor. A towering set of double-doors that were easily 50-meters tall was the only way into the stronghold.
These doors were embedded into the side of a solid cliff-face and they were practically glowing from the sheer power of the enchantments protecting them.
"This is like something straight out of a video game..." Lone muttered. "It's amazing... Look at all of that detail... Soph, these massive doors are telling a st...

A/N: Long chapter and a real cunt to edit due to both size and table quantity.
Daz immediately got to work investigating the clue he'd been given from Big Bo; Aren. The system, unsurprisingly to him, gave him no answers. His only other real option was to pawn the issue off to Rose, yet again.
He felt a bit useless forcing his sister to fulfil almost all of his investigative needs, but that was her strength, so he could accept such an outcome.
A few days pass...

Lone was surprised to have gotten through to Grimsley and not to Gilbert but this was a good sign. The fact that someone had answered the call of the communication orb at all meant that they weren't all dead, which was the worst-case scenario in Lone's mind.
However, as the conversation went on Lone's joy quickly turned into a mix of anger and worry. "So you don't know if Gilbert will live?"
Grimsley had detailed how they had been attacked by the four dukes and escape...

"Did you or did you not kill this man's pig?" Daz asked coldly towards one of the two men he was looking down upon while he practised his Ember of Majesty. "No more arguing. Confess and let us be done with this."
"Well... technically, yes, but so what?" the man protested a bit unwillingly. "It's only a pig! It's not like we're short on food. The system has an infinite supply, doesn't it? The guy's got, what, like, 30 pigs! So what if I killed one to help develop a skill?"

Of course, he knew such people were resourceful but they were also very pr...

As I announced in my discord server, I'm taking the rest of the week off. Anything I write in that time will be posted on Monday. I haven't had a break in a while so after taking Wednesday off I figured I'd just take the weekend off as well before the gears start churning again.
Thanks

Daz quickly stored all of the corpses in his Industrial Item Box. He had considered just burying them then and there in his Grave of The Mammals but decided against it.
'They attacked me with intent to kill, true, but they are still fellow survivors of Earth. The least I can do is give them respect in death and give them proper graves,' Daz thought as he controlled their souls and pushed them into one of Earth's many circles of reincarnation.

High in the middle of the clouds in a strange and resplendent manor that seemed to exist and both not exist at the same time, a boy made of fire raised an eyebrow. "Really? Non-negotiable?"
Standing across from him was a 7-foot-tall stoic human man holding a little girl in a set of pyjamas. The man had cold and almost dead-eyes though he was holdi...

It happened a week after Daz had gone city collecting in Taiwan.
He had just returned from his first visit back to Fort Home with the primary objective of spending time with Madison and Rose. He yearned to see them far more now with his ownership of an Ember of Love, he found.
It bothered him to not see them in such a long time even if he could contact Rose whenever he wished to.
Right now, Daz was in a field in the middle of Dongshan Township only a little whil...

"It's annoying how quickly you dragonkin can heal wounds," Duke Catston said as he nocked another arrow then promptly fired it, sending the deadly metal-tipped shaft of wood whizzing past Duke Grindol's head towards Gilbert's heart.
Gilbert crushed the arrow using some freeform gravity magic with ease. An interesting thing about magic was that with enough practice, you could use it in its raw state though the cost was wholly dependant on the caster's skill, talent and magic...

Duke Henry Malik's eyes darted around dangerously upon seeing Lone disappearing. The two girls with him didn't even register in his mind, only the ninetails mattered.
Determining that they had somehow escaped, he used a detection-focused lightning magic skill called Current Reading.
It had taken him over a decade of effort to learn this skill but it had served him well in the following decades to find unaffiliated mages. Lone himself may not have any magic but the sup...

"So it does turn purple," Daz said as he stared at the edge of Hamson's blade.
He'd been training controlling the shovel very acutely with his mind for a few hours and finally, he had gotten around the practising with Reika and Mofolo empowering the weapon.
As he had experienced before on several occasions, Reika merging with Hamson made its already incredibly-sharp blade even more deadly. With only a little bit of effort, he could cut through alien metals ev...

Gilbert stood violently, knocking his chair off its legs as he gripped the missive an employee had delivered to his desk not 5-minutes ago.
He controlled his emotions and made sure to double-check what he had just read in case he had made some sort of mistake in his reading.

Hsin-yi yawned in boredom as she rubbed her eyes. "This is weird. I mean, yeah, my skill deviates sometimes but, like, it's literally been hours," the Taiwanese woman complained.

The teenaged boy Pai-han looked out to the horizon that bordered Yilan city while he stroked John the husky's neck. "He was strong at the auction. Maybe he has a wide-ranged detection skill?"

"To think even more foreigners are invading our homeland... You're sure he'll be back soon, Hsin-yi?" a handsome Taiwanese man in his early 30s asked.

Lone grunted loudly when he felt his left eye being ripped out of its socket just as the right one had only a few seconds ago.
He didn't scream anymore. He was past that but when his jailor had vicious poison lacing the tip of his gauntlet's fingers, he found it hard to not give the man some satisfaction via grunts and soft moans of anguish.

"Sir?" the guild receptionist Charles questioned in confusion as he looked up from his hand to Guildmaster Gilbert.
Sat atop his palm was a golden seal. Specifically, it was the provisional guildmaster's seal. Not only was this item rarely seen but it was even less common for it to actually be given to someone.
It took a very certain set of circumstances for a guildmaster to see it fit to bequeath this item to one of their employees.

"No," Daz replied instantly. "But they serve to remind you to take me seriously. I know that you are capable of causing me harm but it is highly unlikely that you could kill me. Until that feeling disperses, the needles stay."
