MAZE - Chapter 1095 - A new Discovery

Hera spent most of the night performing various experiments on the ghosts. More specifically, experiment to see how the Specters behaved around the roots. But that was still not enough to solve the underlying issue of their very existence. After all, to figure that out, she was going to need a clue to something much different.

What could be the source or the force that was creating those ghosts?

That was a question that she didn't have an answer to. Still, it was something she wa...

Energy Eater - Chapter 155 - Gathering

Rex was really quick at convincing the Rodenti chief to let us go ask the humans for help. Despite the preparations, the leader of this group of Rodenti understood how precarious their situation was. We didn't even have to mention how the location was exposed. The chief already knew about it. At the same time, he was down to earth. This might be a good plan but he wasn't willing to just bring everybody to a random location in hopes of getting something in return. If he were to take his people...

MAZE - Chapter 1094 - Experiments

Once Hera got back to the guard tower, she spread out her court and asked Nimbus to stay in the sky just to be sure that the ghosts were not around right now. There were still a couple of things she wanted to prepare before their arrival, and they were all very important for her safety and to learn more about what the specters would do in various situations.

Hera used a stone shaping spell to create a couple of pillars on the ground and placed the roots tied on top of them. That way, if...

MAZE - Book 1 - Chapter 1 - Broken Dreams

The rain was pouring outside. Then again, it wasn't as if Hera expected anything else. The sky had been overcast all day, teetering on the brink of a storm. And of course, it only started 30 minutes before she could clock out. Enough time to create large pools of water everywhere in the big city, but not enough to make it feasible to wait until it was over.

Hera had just finished her shift at the bookstore. Today was hell, just like yesterday. Her legs were killing her from standing up...

Hey everyone, real talk.

I've been running on fumes lately trying to catch up with Patreon chapters, work on the Book 1 rewrite, and what's draining me most, job hunting. I think I mentioned this in comments or Discord, but what I make on Patreon, even living in Brazil, isn't enough to get by. I'm not saying this for pity. I'm just stating facts.

I'm trying to improve the situation and grow my readership to sustain myself as a full-time author, but right now my numbers aren't there yet. So instead of constantly...

Energy Eater - Chapter 154 - The Rodenti Side

Leaving the village was easy. Walking back to that battlefield was even easier. After all, the System was telling me exactly where it was. With a giant arrow pointing in its direction. 

But the problem started once I had to figure out where the Rodenti were. They were proving to be even better at hiding than I was expecting. I had to walk following their footprints for a while, but they quickly became erratic. Trying to replicate what Rex liked doing using the cheese seemed to be t...

MAZE - Chapter 1093 - Plateau Exploration

Once the sun was out and the Empress was sure that nothing was going to attack her, or at least no specter were out to get her, she started looking around this plateau. She was flying on top of Nimbus, of course, since the Sentinel was the best way to traverse the area. They were still very confident in the fact that there were no flying creatures that could pose a threat to them.

Even more than that, Hera and her court were unable to see tracks or evidence that there were birds or anyt...

Energy Eater - Chapter 153 - Talking with the village

The village wasn't that far away. As a matter of fact, it took us less than 20 minutes to reach it. Something was telling me that the Rodenti were just as far from that battlefield as we were. Still, the focus was on what was happening with the surrounding people.

Once we arrived at the village proper, there was a group of people already waiting for us. Well, not us exactly, but those who went to fight. For a moment, those people opened big smiles when seeing the group arriving in its e...

MAZE - Chapter 1092 - Naga Specter

Hera watched the specters as they were moving around. They were what she expected of the Naga. People with two arms and a torso but a snake head and a long tail instead of legs. It was just like seeing Darni and the other Naga in Spiral inside the dungeon. There was one big difference, well, two, if she were to count how they were all ghosts. Aside from that, the difference was in their eyes.

When she was talking to Darni, it was clear that the Naga was all there. He would talk, he wou...

Energy Eater - Chapter 152 - Sudden Brawl

"Everybody stop!" Michael shouted.

He was walking towards the group of people who were fighting, and when he did so, it gave me the chance to double check if the Rodenti were really powerful. Although I was almost sure that wasn't the case. After all, how could regular humans fight against creatures with the System and at a high level?

Just as I was expecting, all the Rodenti were tier zero. Meaning they were not even level 10. Even then, they had some advantage in the fight. Wh...

MAZE - Chapter 1091 - Ghost town

Crossing the valley was uneventful. Hera was half expecting to suddenly be attacked by a giant monster that lived down in the sandy area or something. But that didn't happen. Instead, she just flew on top of Nimbus to the other side and landed as if it was just the most regular thing she ever did. Which, in a sense, it wasn't far off. In the past years traveling the MAZE, this was on the normal side of things. She was just traveling without having to worry about anything or being trapped anyw...

Energy Eater - Chapter 151 - Life of a Rodenti

It was clear that Rex wasn't sure what to say. Then again it made sense. How would someone answer 'how was life with humans?' when it was all they knew?. 

After a long pause, the Rodenti spoke up. "Life was good. Happy. Great grandfather created clan."

Michael tilted his head. "So the dad of your grandfather created the clan?"

"What? No. Much longer than that. It was his grandfather's grandfather's grandfather."

"Then, wouldn't that make him your great great great...

MAZE - Chapter 1090 - Deakoshara, Finally

Hera spent one day home with her dad before she was about to leave for Deakoshara. She had talked to Shane about it, but she was still back in Spiral learning more about the Naga language and spells from Darni and the others. While she really wanted to discover more about the Naga homeland, the knowledge of how things worked back then was also something she was very interested in. Which was something that Hera understood.

It would be very helpful to know more about the place. And in a s...

Energy Eater - Chapter 150 - Past

Astrid finished the sleeping hats, extremely quickly. It was so fast that we couldn't even believe she was able to make them all in just a couple of hours. Sure, it wasn't a big job and each one only took a few pieces to be stitched, but that didn't mean that it was an easy endeavor in any way. Just the sheer amount of scraps she was using would already put any seasoned tailor's head in a swivel. Thanks to a mixture of the new skills she got from the subclass and her own high body attribute, ...

MAZE - Chapter 1089 - The rest of the court

Once her weapon was ready, Hera felt no need to stay with Clan Azure any longer. Despite the class being fun and showing that not all of them were awful. There were enough of the bad ones to kill any desire to stay. Even though Insomniac was doing his best to make the experience more bearable. She appreciated his efforts. She really did. But it was just too much.

And when morning came, Hera quickly left the room where Clan Azure was located. Insomniac came along after all, he still had ...

Energy Eater - Chapter 149 - Respite

After burying the skeletons in the yard, we walked back into the house. It wasn't late, but we were tired. Specifically, we were mentally and emotionally drained. Fighting a monster that you weren't expecting was one thing. Another, a very different other, was to discover that this fight actually happened in the broken down home of people who failed to survive this world. That wasn't a good feeling, to say the least, but more than that, it was the knowledge that this wasn't anything special. ...

MAZE - Chapter 1088 - Avalon

For the seal on the Chainsword, Hera and Vulcan had something in mind. The shell of a tortoise surrounded by a snake. And with the addition of the bone metal, they also decided to place a pair of wings on the bottom. This wasn't giving any specific power to the weapon, but instead, leaning in the Spirit Claw attack even more. And George was more than happy to help with the process. He offered some obsidian to create the crest.

The hope was that thanks to the seal, that one power would b...

Energy Eater - Chapter 148 - the bunker

As the particles rushed inside of me, I felt the strength of the vines that were still trying to trap me weakening. They were still not completely limp, meaning that this plant was still somehow alive, but the monster itself seemed to have been killed. With a couple of big pushes, I freed myself from the trap before looking around and seeing the rest of my companions doing the same. Even Riley, who had both legs completely covered by the vines, was able to break free without too much trouble....

MAZE - Chapter 1087 - Chainsword

Hera and Insomniac dashed across the estate. The Fighter quickly understood why the Ophidianite was so pressed to reach George as fast as they could. It was very rare that someone, anyone, found something in the MAZE that promised an upgrade.

More specifically, it was very rare to find items that offered that kind of possibility. Unless they were dropped by a dungeon and had very restricted ways of use. Even then, it was rare to see that kind of rewards.

He had heard Hera talkin...

Energy Eater - Chapter 147 - Underground Greenhouse

#### Author's Note ####
Hey everyone. Sorry for the erratic schedule of the past few days. I got a cold. Yay x.x
Now I'm all better (or mostly at least) so starting on monday(tomorrow) things should get back on track. I'm also working on the rewerite of MAZE book 1 finally and will keep you all posted when I have news to share.
##################

Walking downstairs through the rusted staircase, we did our best not to make any noise. But it was near impossible considering our ...

MAZE - Chapter 1086 - Friendly Spars

Hera watched as a large number of students, who should be between 18 and 19, stepping into the arena. She had placed her Court in such a way that it was easy for those who wanted to participate in this exercise to make lines that would signal who they were going to fight.

But, unlike what she was expecting, no one stepped in front of her. And it wasn't a situation where people were shy about getting closer to the area. Many of her court members, or at least her titled blades, were alre...

Energy Eater - Chapter 146 - What lies beneath

We slowly walked down the stairs, making sure to not make too much noise. Michael was concerned about our location, there wasn't much that could be done now that we were already here. To him, we were still inside a haunted mansion, but the rest of us understood that the world was just weird. There was something around here that could be the real cause of all those noises we were hearing.

Even the moan should just be something strange but not supernatural. Not in that sense. Still, that...

MAZE - Chapter 1085 - Punishment Duel

The duel was scheduled to happen about half an hour after Joseph found Hera and Insomniac. People were already in the arena for a presentation for one of their classes, and the butler sent a message confirming that he had found Hera and Insomniac. Once he did, the professors also added that they would have that exhibition match. Hearing that, Frederick was very excited about this.

Especially when he saw Hera arriving. Her clothes covered in dirt, and the woman clearly needing a shower....

Energy Eater - Chapter 145 - Abandoned Mansion

I spent a few moments staring at the skeleton. No one was saying anything. Maybe it was fear, maybe it was worry, maybe it was a number of things, but the reality was that we were all shocked by what we saw. Either the owner of this skeleton had died standing up, or whoever they were, were killed and then propped up against the wall. And

I wasn't entirely sure which one sounded worse. The fact that even with the markings of animals in the area, the skeleton was still standing also meant...

MAZE - Chapter 1084 - There was a mountain

"Okay, now take a step back, please," Insomniac asked, letting Hera get into a far enough position so she wouldn't be risking herself.

The odds of something actually hitting her weren't that big, but Insomniac preferred to be safe rather than sorry. The last thing they needed was for one of them to get injured now when they were just trying to practice a bit.

He took a deep breath and got into his stance. Instead of being something proper, just holding the sword in front of him, ...

Energy Eater - Chapter 144 - Bastion in the ruins

#### Author's Note ####
So, like I said on the previous chapter. This is the same one that I posted two days ago.
Sorry for messing up. I deleted the previous one to organize things better.
##################

We slowly started walking down towards this ruined city. If it could even be called that. It was just a single house now. One mansion that, even though everything else around it was completely obliterated, remained standing. It was almost impossible to tell where one ho...

Energy Eater - Chapter 143 - Journey Ahead

#### Author's Note ####
So... my dumbass ended up writing two chapters at once, and edited the second one instead of the first. This one was supossed to come before the last. The name is right but the contents are a bit different.
I also deleted the previous one just to make it organized, that way they stay in order. It will come live again 10 minutes after this one.
###################

With the extra day that we spent in the village, Rex managed to get his subclass. And as ...

MAZE - Chapter 1083 - Training Day

"Again," Insomniac said, and Hera got back on their feet, her body to the side and facing the man.

They had been practicing for a couple of hours already. And the debuff caused by the [All-In] skill was almost over. She commanded her court to come out once more, summoning every single member to participate in this exercise.

Over the course of the last few hours, Insomniac had been trying to help Hera understand her shortcomings. More specifically, he was trying to change her view....

MAZE - Chapter 1082 - Hollow Handle

Hera kept staring at the handle, trying to be sure if she was reading things correctly. This wasn't simply a piece of a weapon, but something that seemed to be able to attach to any type of weapon. And if that's what it could do, there was nothing stopping it from also working with her venomous arsenal. In addition, if she could trigger the breaking effect and still cause the explosion, it would be perfect. This could be even more powerful than whatever weapon George was about to make.

...

Energy Eater - Chapter 142 - One More day

Riley decided to pick the Botanist subclass. And they forgot to share with us the actual attributes that they would gain, but apparently they would be getting more Energy and Mind as they leveled up. One thing that seemed to be unique about subclasses was that, unlike main classes, they didn't have any negatives on the attributes.

At least not when picking the class. According to Riley, or more specifically to Riley's System, this happened because subclasses didn't really mesh much with...
