"Wait, wait, wait!" Ooze gasped.
"What?" Hera opened her eyes.
"What are you going to do? We just talked about this!"
"Didn't I say?" Hera glanced to the side, and both Nimbus and Daskka shook their heads, "Oh. My bad. Just for starters, I wanted to see if I can send my mana through that web and then what it does. Then I would add one element to it. Maybe sleep...

Nimbus carried Hera to the top of the mountain. It took a while since they weren't rushing. At the same time, she had her entire court out, looking around the area to see if they could find anything that could help, but they got nothing so far.
"Nimbus, I'm not saying this as a complaint. But when you manage to make that new shape to give me your wings, I'm going to miss y...

Everyone told Bonnie to rest, but she was adamant against staying behind. Not because she was afraid or something like it, but because she wanted to complete the next challenge. She also had the spyglass now, which meant they would take even less time to locate the entrance of the challenge. Mylo, Adriel, and Helena had one more thing to help with the next step of this trial. Th...

Hera ended up spending about four hours inside the challenge, and when she left, she had three new skills thanks to the guides' teachings.

As Nimbus flew through the sky, the guides kept attacking, trying to bring the griffon down. Only Johnny had a proper ranged attack. Everyone else had minor spells, but since the guides were extremely proficient in the use of magic, giving them any sort of considerable magic would increase the difficulty too much. Because of that, they were limited to the simplest spells they co...

Hera stepped out of the fountain again. They talked a lot about what kind of strategy they could employ while fighting against the armors. Shane and Hera also had a different conversation about the guides they both knew and met during the challenge. Those were Peaches, Capri, Kelpi, Celina, and the kobold sisters. It was a shame they couldn't help the others all that much, and a...

Before leaving the challenge, Hera asked if there was any way for the guides to help her finish this. Unfortunately, they couldn't do anything to help. This was part of the rules of the room, and there was no way to go around it. What they were doing was already to the limit of pulling their punches, even if that expression wasn't exactly applicable to Calina. The polar bear gui...

"Let's dance!" Hera hoped that her taunt would make the kobold sisters act first. However, they were still very guarded, not making a move. Hera wasn't used to fighting against people, not really. Her only real experience with all that was the dungeon in the Charring Wastes. Sure, she would practice with Alex, Blue, and Nimbus, but she was used to their fighting styles. This wou...

Hera was walking slowly towards the house that Nimbus saw. Before getting there, they were trying to figure out what this challenge could be, but Hera kept going back to the idea of finding or, more likely, stealing an item. The fact that the guides would be against her was also a very strong indicator for the second option. If it were just about discovering where the object was...

Soon after they finished eating, Hera and her group went to the fountain surrounded by the four statues. They all had the same odd feeling when looking at those armored figures. Even if they had no physical differences from one another, each of the sculptures seemed to give off a unique emotion: anger, sadness, happiness, and fear. And, considering what Shane told them, it was l...

When Hera and Bonnie returned to the campsite, Shane and Mylo were already there, and Adriel managed to get a decent number of fish for them to eat later. Helena and Blue were still away, which worried Hera a bit, but she trusted them enough to know when to run away if something were to happen.
"So, did you guys find something?" Hera turned to Shane.
"Kind of? I don'...

Before everyone arrived back in the camp, where the statues talking about the challenges were located, Hera pulled Blue to the side. This whole situation felt very familiar to her, and she worried about the controller's reaction.
"Hey, can we talk for a moment?"
"Sure, what's up?" Blue replied in a cheery voice.
The way she spoke caught Hera off guard. she was ...

After crossing to the next room, Hera could feel her heart beating extremely fast. Layer 18 was one of the layers where the level range of monsters was very wide. Some cities would exist on this layer where people with children would live, even if the monsters in the area should be between levels 20 and 60. What worried her the most was the fact that some of those rooms would on...

With the path in the reef open, Adriel guided the drones inside. It didn't seem like it would be a straight shot to the doorway, but the system itself said this was the path. Or, at least, the entrance to one, and everyone agreed that this should lead them to the doorway. Using the snakes, Hera opened her map to see if she could find the route they would have to take. A few mome...

Adriel's 'submarine' was far from being fast. Any one of them could make a better time swimming, but at the same time, no one had to be worried. The air bubble also supplied the party with a constant flow of oxygen. And thanks to Mylo and Shane's spells, they could see their surroundings without an issue. The combination of spells allowed everyone to see far away into the water....

It took one text for Shane to drop everything in the excavation and rush to the doorway. The idea of finding something else that belonged to the Naga was too enticing for her to pass on. Not to mention that she could also call the guide of the Shtylla Archipelago and ask her own questions to them. In a way, having Shane come here ended up being a good thing. Hera still had t...

Sometime after breakfast, Hera called all the Royal Explorers, plus Bonnie and Helena to the dining room. She explained to everyone what she found and was very quick to stop people from asking the source of all that information, stating that it was because of her relic and that was it. Hera also told everyone about Adriel's spell and how they could search for that area for a new...

When Hera deactivated the Safety Cube, she realized she had forgotten one thing, 'The snacks in my bag. I'll give it to him later.'
She returned to the rest of the group and explained what she had discovered during her conversation with Kelp. All the while, she was being careful not to mention the guide, of course.
"Your relic told you all that?" Chiton asked.

"I call upon the Guide of Shtylla Archipelago. As an explorer, I have proven that my motives are pure," Hera said after creating a few dancing lights inside the dark barrier. She also had some chocolate and a can of soda in her bag. Expecting to call the guide when she came back here, Hera had prepared a few gifts for them as a thanks for all the help. A smaller part of the reas...

Hera woke up early and left the dormitory. She was once again in the Wailing Valley after their week off. During the time they were supposed to be resting, the Countess decided to learn a few new skills. One was a simple one called [Swimming]. As the name suggested, it would just let her swim faster and for longer periods of time. Unfortunately, that was the only skill that she ...
Becca Swan crossed the doorway to finally arrive at her destination. She was going to meet a source that apparently had some big things to tell her about everything that was going on. After arriving at the room called Rising Pillars, she started her journey towards the dungeon that would serve as a private location for their conversation. As she walked by, her mind was thinking about everything that had happened in the last couple of weeks. First, it was the discovery of the Trial Mode in dun...
2022-09-19 13:00:09 +0000 UTC View PostFor the next couple of days, the Royal Explorers ended up in something close to a routine. They would wake up in the Wailing Valley, return to the Shtylla Archipelago, and split the group between those who would run the dungeon and those who would explore the room and search for ways to move between the islands. When they were done, they would return to the Wailing Val...

When Hera, Alex, and Chiton finished planting their seeds and saplings, the Golem waved them to approach the boat once again. They did as asked, and the construct guided them inside the ship, stopping them when they were inside one of the covered spaces.
"We thank you for your assistance. Now we are able to swap one of the islands," the Golem spoke.
"Wait. Swap? W...

It went right over Lorna's head as she ducked to avoid the incoming 'projectile.' Following that up, she triggered the cloud on top of the water to start bringing down lightning. They were using the water as a way to damage the monsters all at once. Doing so allowed them to hit t...

After about 30 minutes, Mylo and his group returned. They had found another of those underwater paths, but this one was much deeper. It should be about half a meter deep, and it seemed to be going at an incline, getting deeper and deeper the farther they were from the island. It was hard to tell what that meant. Maybe the room had some sort of cycle where each bridge would move,...
Hey everyone. This is the first video I will be posting where I just talk a bit about MAZE, how I come up with ideas, and maybe, in the future, my intentions with the story.
I hope you guys enjoy knowing a bit more about the story and myself, and if you have any specific question or topic you want me to talk about let me know in the comments.
I intend to have one video every 2 weeks and it will be going live on Friday, and I'll try my best to maintain that schedule without mes...

The Royal Explorers spend the night in the building they created by the doorway. It was very likely that more people would use it later, and Hera told everyone that if they wanted, they could bring it all down, but the dwarves opted to leave it up. For one, If the next room was somewhat dangerous, they could come back here to rest instead of staying in a place where they wou...

"I guess we stayed here long enough," Blue got up from the couch and stretched.
"Yeah. I'm sure they finished their discussion by now," Alex nodded.
"I think they don't know how to swim," Mylo got up and walked to the kitchen to grab another glass of water.
"They don't know how to swim?" Hera turned towards him.
"Yeah."
"But, there's a lake in Booth...

After seeing Peaches' message, Hera quickly sent one back, telling him she was available. He never said something like that, and she knew that it wouldn't be a joke. Peaches could be playful, but he knew when to be serious. It didn't take more than 5 minutes before there was a ring on the door. Hera did her best to clean up the place, but 6 dwarfs had just left, so it wasn't the...

TThe dungeon was over. However, everyone decided to hang out in Spiral for a while longer. Hera was happy to be talking with Darni and the others. Shane was excited about being able to speak to so many Naga, and everyone else had various interests in the place. For most of them, this was the first dungeon where they saw people that were not other Dwarfs. Maybe it was because of ...
