MAZE - Chapter 1036 - The last titled blade

Hera couldn't believe her luck. And again, luck might not be the correct word for that. This was effort. Something she worked hard to make. A combined effort of Forge and her. And the result was simply fantastic. Originally, her weapon was supposed to be only an Epic one but now it was Unique. Meaning that was also bound to her, and even better was the fact that the rooms they used seemed to be working perfectly.

There was no unexpected outcome or issue they had to deal with. Instead, e...

Energy Eater - Chapter 97 - A matriarch's fate

Morning came with Astrid and I waking up very early. We were half expecting the guards to rush into Genevieve's house and arrest us then and there, but instead they just left someone in front of her house to make sure we were not going to run. And once we did leave, the man just asked us to accompany him so we could find Genevieve, who was in charge of the interrogation.

Everything ended up being much smoother than expected. Pamela had woken up first and she was able to talk about not j...

MAZE - Chapter 1035 - Making a new weapon

Hera didn't start trying to reforge the gloves right away. She did several test runs together with Forge over the last couple of days before feeling confident in continuing with the repair of her glove. During that time, she also participated in a couple of dungeon runs but was unable to befriend the Jarnak as she hoped. Meaning that she was unable to get another set piece. At least that wasn't the case for the rest of the groups.

This time they found another earring and the second piec...

Energy Eater - Chapter 96 - An offer

"Wait, what? You're asking if I can give this power to someone from the village?" I stared at Michael with an expression of utter confusion.

 "I mean, they've spent a long time not having to worry about danger. They could live here without any problems. And I'm assuming it's because of the giant crab, Michael Replied, "I mean, it is a large predator that was living here and likely carrying any other thing away. And now that it's dead, I guess the real monsters will return, and I ho...

MAZE - Chapter 1034 - Forging Workshop

Early the next morning, Hera decided to go to her private room. She wanted to fix the gloves and, more than that, she wanted to get her final titled blade soon. And she felt restless about it. It was a bit strange. That kind of thing never bothered her before. Not when talking about the title blades, at least. The open slot that could be taken by another powerful individual was not something that was always weighing on her mind. The empress simply felt that once it was time for her to find th...

Energy Eater - Chapter 95 - Skill Evolution

I stared at the names of the two options that were in front of me.

Was this what I should expect going forward? Every time my skill was going to increase its rank, would I get multiple paths to pick from? 

But since it was the first time I was seeing something like this, it made sense. Apparently, Astrid's {Frost Chop} wasn't specifically an upgrade, at least not according to her. She said that it was offered as a new option for a skill, instead of ranki...

MAZE - Chapter 1033 - Testing the Jarnak

Hera was sitting in front of the Jarnak as the snake just stared at her with an angry expression. She had been doing this for a couple of hours already, and Pandora was starting to get restless. She understood the idea. In order to tame a wild beast, you had to first gain its trust, but so far, nothing that they tried seemed to have worked.

Giving it food only made the monster finish its meal. Showing that they were respecting the creature also didn't seem to amount to anything. Even si...

MAZE - Chapter 1032 - Winning Prize

The empress looked around while the arena was still being showered by cheer and applause. It sounded very weird, but at the same time it was a nice feeling. It was the first time that she was praised like that and it wasn't because she saved people from a horrible situation. She could get used to that kind of thing.

"That is the match, ladies and gentlemen. Now I would like for all of you to wait a moment until we tabulate the points. A lot of things happened in these last couple of mom...

Energy Eater - 93 - Emperor Flathead

A giant fucking crab. That's what was scaring everything away. And honestly, I couldn't really blame any of the animals that didn't want to be around. Crabs already were weird looking, but at this size, they became truly horrifying.

Not to mention, I remember Pops talking about how things kept evolving into crabs. Which didn't really make sense to me. But it could explain why there was nothing nearby. Maybe the System decided to say to all its particles 'hey stay away, otherwise you're ...

MAZE - Chapter 1031 - Shardless

Hera walked into the arena, not expecting that big of a reaction. It was so strange to have so many people cheering for her at the same time. But that didn't matter. She wasn't here to be applauded or anything of the sort. She was here to win the competition and get the best reward she could from the dungeon. But at the same time, that didn't mean she couldn't have some flair.

The team that Bonnie won against was very different from all the other participants in the tournament because o...

Energy Eater - Chapter 92 - The light in the shore

Once we saw the giant shape on the lake, Astrid and I had to make a decision. Were we going to continue forward and risk fighting a creature without our weapons, or would we head back to gather our stuff and then go after Michael and Pamela? 

"Do you think we can make it before they reach the other side?" I asked the Frosted Lumberjack.

I knew that her lack of weapon was more of an issue than mine. After all, even without the Frosted Staff, I could just use any other thing as...

MAZE - Chapter 1030 - Elimination Round

Everybody was sitting on the Arena side seats just as every other team had the right to do. They had just watched one of their opponents face off against a creature and earn 300 points for their effort. There were some people commentating on this match and, by the looks of it, that was a respectable amount of points for a fight like that. But then, it was time for the first group of their team to step forward. 

The announcer, a Scale Heart of red scales and with a pair of sunglasse...

Energy Eater - Chapter 91 - The festival of the lake

The festival started much earlier than I was expecting. Instead of it being an evening party, people started gathering a few hours after lunch. And by the looks of it, that was the expected time frame. Which, in hindsight, made sense. Some of the decorations we were preparing would really only be seen during the day. And at night they would just vanish into the darkness.

Mainly the small flags that we created to give the area a more festive appearance. Another surprise was the location ...

MAZE - Chapter 1029 - Entering the tournament

Once Hera was out of the dungeon, she returned gasping for air due to the sheer surprise of what happened. And the same thing happened to everybody else in the group. They were all breathing heavily, having just witnessed the Feywyrm's death.

"Is everyone okay?" Alex asked, casting a cleansing skill on herself just to be sure she wasn't affected by anything that still lingered with the ancient dragon.

"I'm fine. It's just…" Yerel replied, "How could the Nactra-Valls kill the dra...

Energy Eater - Chapter 90 - Single Day

I only managed to talk to Astrid early next morning. And thankfully, it didn't take much convincing for her to agree that things were not quite right in this place. While the story about marrying the lake was the nail on the coffin, the Frosted Lumberjack had also uncovered a few suspicious details. For instance, the big construction project that they were having was a canal that connected smaller ponds to the Flathead Lake. But that really didn't make much sense. There was no actual benefit ...

MAZE - Chapter 1028 - Newborn Island

Hera looked around, confirming that she indeed was in control of the direction her head was turning. But it was the only thing she could move by herself. Everything else was moving on its own, almost as if it was on autopilot. She was inside a dragon. Or at least, the vision was making her perceive the world as the ancient Feywyrm did. And she had barely enough time to organize her thoughts when a voice echoed in her mind. It was a feminine voice, somewhat young, even if that word might not h...

Energy Eater - Chapter 89 - Not so sweet

"Do you promise you're not going to scream?" the woman asked, and I just nodded in response. Not that she could actually stop me from doing anything, really. By the lack of strength she had, it would be easy to overpower her. But since I wanted information, it was better to play along for now.

"Okay," she removed her hands, but still held me against the tree, trying to stop me from escaping.

"What is going on?" I asked.

"It's hard to explain and honestly, I don't know if you...

MAZE - Chapter 1027 - They Feywyrm Skull

Hera and the others walked into the museum area of the hunter's guild. Inside was filled with various historical objects. From the clothes that the original Scale Heart chieftain wore to more modern devices. Things like crossbows and bolts, metal armor that did not exist back in the regular mode of the dungeon, and all sorts of well-made items, each of them left behind by the generations that lived in the past of this version of history. It was quite an impressive display.

Then, they we...

Energy Eater - Chapter 88 - Decorations

Just like we expected, people started their day really early. I was barely surprised when some of the villagers already got up during sunrise and were moving around the buildings, searching for something. I needed a little bit of time to understand what was going on. My paranoid side was worried that there was awful going wrong. Maybe someone was attacking or something like that. But that wasn't the case. It seemed like one of the younger children who lived here had been up to some trouble la...

MAZE - Chapter 1026 - A future city

With everyone ready for the hard mode, the group asked around just to see if there was anything they should be taking into the dungeon. But everyone said that there was nothing. Everything they needed would be inside of the dungeon, and unlike the normal mode where you could bring your own traps, the hard mode did not allow for that kind of thing. It was a bit strange considering that there was nothing stopping them from bringing the items with them, but people made it clear that they would u...

Energy Eater - Chapte 87 - Michael Kaheele

Michael was an extremely chatty person. Before we even started walking, he already told us he wasn't from here, that he arrived a while back and that he liked Genevieve and found Amelia a bit strange. 

"You know, I'm really glad you came here. Being the new kid in a village always feels strange, doesn't it?"

"I can't really say anything about that. I was never the new kid in a place for long," I replied.

"Oh? So people always show up after you?" Michael asked.

"No...

MAZE - Chapter 1025 - Meaning of message

In her room once again, Hera was talking to Shane and Pandora about the information shared by Nana Mittens. They did have a brief moment to say how much they liked the guide. Which was quickly going to become a favorite for all three of them. But now, the topic in question was the message given by the cat guide. 

Thankfully, Twiggy was able to remember the entire life lesson given by Nana Mittens. It was one of the benefits of Hera's court which allow her to give a command for them...

Energy Eater - Chapter 86 - Polson Bay

So you were the two people who arrived at our little village in the past few hours?" A woman wearing a long dress with a flower pattern on it said with a smile. She was on the older side, with some gray in her hair, but still looked spry for her age. 

For some reasons, I felt it was better to reply with the same kind of energy she was giving us, "That is us. And it is an absolute pleasure to meet you."

"The pleasure is all mine. It's amazing that you came along so close to th...

MAZE - Chapter 1024 - Nana Mittens

Hera continued the tea time with Nana Mittens for about half an hour. But, eventually, the cat guide groaned and started waving her wooden spoon in the air again. The spoon itself only appeared when she was berating the system for its interruption, vanishing completely when she turned back to Hera and her court.

"Fine. I'll do what I have to do, just shut up and let me work. But if you keep on pestering me, I swear I'm going to figure out a way to hit you over the back of the head," Nan...

Energy Eater - Chapter 85 - Next Step

After leaving the village, Astrid and I didn't talk very much. We were both still frustrated with the entire situation. For one, even after everything we went through just to save that kid, no one thanked us. And as if that wasn't bad enough, they even tried to steal the System just because they thought it would be good for them. Not to mention the mayor was still pissing me off. He said that he didn't like the child-abusing asshole who we got left stuck in prison and yet there he was, follow...

MAZE - Chapter 1023 - A warm helping hand

After hearing about Pandora's situation, Hera ended up giving her one of the bracelet snakes that could generate a vial of Ophidianite essence every day. The ones that could give, or increase the rank of a skill of her species. She made it clear that this did not mean Pandora was already accepted as an Ophidianite, but it was a way to get ready for the process. Even if they were not entirely sure when that would be available. And that if something happened, she could take the snake away witho...

Energy Eater - Chapter 84 - Strange Feeling

"Over here," I called as Astrid and I walked towards the paint store. 

When we first stopped here, together with the rest of the scout team, we set up four cans to be carried later. And right now, there were only two left. It felt wrong somehow not to bring anything back to the village, even if we were taking Frederick literally on our backs. But at least, now we had that option. The Frosted Lumberjack just lifted the cans up and carried them like they were nothing. I suppose that'...

MAZE - Chapter 1022 - Hard to Master

Hera jumped to the left, evading a large boulder that was tossed in her direction. Right after it, she flipped her left wrist, letting a few strands of the bladed gloves lash out almost like a whip. The strings moved away from her hand and wrapped around each other, but instead of making one larger string, they made three. The wire connected to the index and the middle finger joined, and so did the ones in the ring finger and the pinky while the thread attached to the thumb was still out of i...

Ok so I know I messed up on yesterday's chapter but I think I did a good job on this one. Let me know if it's weird or not.

Frederick was unconscious, but I was able to carry him without a problem. The boy was surprisingly light for his age. Then again, my points in Body might be pulling a lot of the weight behind the workout. Either way, we were able to run through the tunnel and finally reach the surface in just a few more minute...
