Fate Weaver's Legacy #044 - I’m not desperate enough to eat this

To nobody’s surprise, instead of the entire octopus, only the pink tentacle emerging from the water next to me answered my angry call, making me curse under my breath.

I immediately spat fire at where it stuck out from before it could drag me under water again, but the whole thing dodged to the side unlike all the previous times. It then lashed out at me in a horizontal swipe and I only barely managed to summon my key sword in time to block it.

What I didn’t expect was somethi...

Fate Weaver's Legacy #043 - I’m coming for you, calamari!

I should probably be more disturbed by the fact that the system can axe my brainpower and turn me into a drooling idiot. I mean, what if the system one day just decided to do that without me even doing anything? If the system could give me access to skills, who was to say that it couldn’t also take away my skills? Heck, it had done that already, what with it temporarily removing my ability to read or have coherent thoughts.

Well… Just another thing on top...

Fate Weaver's Legacy #042 - Head. Empty.

Content Warning: Dissociation-esque state

----------------------------

“–and that’s it for today’s mystery solving stream! Thanks for coming, everyone! I’ll see you tomorrow, where we hopefully finish off this dungeon!”

I grinned at John, masking my still-present anxiety.

Hey, I was a Vcuber for a reason. Getting out in front of the camera personally just wasn’t…

Anyway!

I covered John’s view with my hand ...

Fate Weaver's Legacy #041 - Introspection is important, you know?

I woke up with my face snuggled into something very soft and comfortable.

For a split second, I thought that the entire isekai situation could have maybe been just a weird dream, but then I quickly realized what was going on.

“G’morning, chat… G’morning, Mr. Gargles,” I mumbled while hugging my awesome turtle plushie closer.

I continued to lay there, already thinking of how I would have to go into the dungeon and probably figure out how to beat that stupid tentacle...

Fate Weaver's Legacy #040 - I’m retiring to live on a farm, guys

I approached the miniature tree with caution, wondering where it had come from.

Had someone sneakily planted it here while I’d been in the dungeon? Or was it something I had done? What would–

Oh.

Wait.

Hold on.

GonguuH: you left the fruit core in that spot
KaiEbikoOfficial: it rained too

Of course. The plants here ran on Ether. And I’d left the fruit core with seeds in it right next t...

Fate Weaver's Legacy #039 - Why would you have teleporting tentacles? Aren’t regular tentacles enough?!

I belatedly realized that the tentacle was probably the boss of this floor.

Sure, it wasn’t all big and imposing like the other bosses, but it was damn persistent and really hard to damage in any meaningful way. Not to mention, I’d found it inside a large open room, just like the other two bosses.

So yes, probably the boss.

I should have gone with the kiddy slide first, ugh.

The damn pink plush tentacle emerged right next to me once more, interrupting...

Fate Weaver's Legacy #038 - First attacked by laundry, now turned into laundry myself?!

Getting out of the tunnel back to the golden gate was pretty easy. In fact, I had a sneaking suspicion that the space warped around me to ensure that it was the only way for me to go no matter what direction I picked.

When I tried going back toward the tunnels though, I couldn’t for the life of me find a way. The space just kept bending away from me. It felt so uncanny to be blocked from it now, even though seemingly nothing had changed.

I briefly glanced through the ga...

Fate Weaver's Legacy #037 - I mean, I can swim, but this is a little too much

My butt skidded down the wet plastic surface at terminal velocity and I had to force myself to keep my eyes wide open, while gritting my teeth so that I wouldn’t scream on my way down. The result was a screech reminiscent of a dying kitten.

All I felt was regret at the moment.

Why did I listen to chat again?

Then, at last, I hit the bottom, the nearly vertical drop abruptly shifted into a ramp, transferring my momentum, and I shot into the air. I finally lost the battle an...

July 2024 update

Hey there, everyone!

Somehow, I completely missed the fact that it's a new month and forgot to post an update... whoops.

Anywho, what's new this month?

Honestly, not that much. I keep working on Weaver, hoping that I'll one day finish the first dungeon so the story can finally move on. Unfortunately for me, the words just keep multiplying! Seriously, my initial outline had Nana complete the dungeon by chapter 20, but now it's looking more like she will be done by chapter 50 ...

Fate Weaver's Legacy #036 - Not a leap, a SLIDE of faith

This is my new pet - Lure a dungeon monster into a floor where it doesn’t belong. [COMPLETE]
Serial kidnapper - Lure 50 or more dungeon monsters into a floor where they don’t belong. [COMPLETE]

I held in the groan. There was no need to get upset. This was a good thing, wasn’t it? More skill points meant better skills, which meant better chances of survival.

If only getting these achievements didn’t feel like someone was pointing out the latest dumb thing I’d...

Fate Weaver's Legacy #035 - Look, it’s not my fault this dungeon is stupidly designed!

I walked past the pools of death water while carefully scanning my surroundings. My hands gripped my naginata, ready to strike at anything trying to ambush me.

As soon as I was between two different pools, I heard sloshing to the side and whirled around while pointing my weapon at the threat.

As expected, something was coming out of the water.

It looked like all the other zombies I’d encountered so far except… it wore a pair of inflatable sleeves on its arm...

Fate Weaver's Legacy #034 - I thought this wasn’t a video game

I woke up with a groan as I blinked away the sleepiness.

For the first time since I’d found myself in this world, I wasn’t confused about where I was when I woke up.

Had I finally accepted my situation?

“Morning, chat,” I mumbled and got up from the floor.

Sleeping on the hard floor of the dungeon probably wasn’t the best for my back, ugh. I needed to find a proper shelter… or at least a pillow or something. Was it too much to hope the dungeon would give me...

Fate Weaver's Legacy #033 - Call me Nana, the mad scientist!

I took another sip of the Tempor Juice I’d gotten from the second floor’s boss and let out a satisfied sigh.

“Still tastes great, chat. But I can’t really tell at all if it did anything… Let’s see…”

I extended my hand and with a quick flip of the mental switch, my fused sword was in my hand again.

“Alright! Looks like it did work.” I nodded with a smile. “I still can’t tell how much Tempor I have at all, though. It’s so weird… And it...

Fate Weaver's Legacy #032 - Am I insane? Is anything even real?

The orange blob came loose from the glove and turned back into the pen as I admired the amazing piece of art on the table I’d drawn with the glove’s fingers. Anyone who said that my mighty dragon looked terrible was wrong.

Anyway, this combination had worked exactly how I expected it to. It had retained the bubble ability while gaining the ability to draw with the fingers. It was… well, cool, I suppose. But not exactly useful in any meaningful way. I could just use t...

Fate Weaver's Legacy #031 - Don’t mind me, just blowing bubbles in a water park

I tried the most obvious thing first – fusing my two weapons into one. As cool as dual wielding was, it wasn’t really my thing. I much preferred to have one strong weapon. Quality over quantity and all that.

If only I could get my hands on a greataxe or a halberd or something like that…

Anyway, I pulled out both the sword and the key, brought them together, and prodded at the new mental switch, trying to get a feel for it. I immediately found out that the sub skill worked a ...

Fate Weaver's Legacy #030 - Delicious, delicious fast food!

Another day, another non-euclidean maze.

Honestly, I didn’t even expect anything else at this point. The first time was shocking, the second time was annoying, but by now it was an old routine like waking up, brushing my teeth, and having breakfast.

Speaking of breakfast, this particular maze was going to drive me nuts with its delicious fast food smells but a distinct lack of food anywhere.

“Chat, this dungeon is doing it on purpose, I swear…”...

Fate Weaver's Legacy #029 - Don’t mind me, just feeling a little melancholic

I woke up with a startled confusion as something wet hit my cheek.

“Wha…Whuh…?”

I blinked my eyes open, waving my hands around to slap away at whoever had decided to prank me by spitting on me.

Then I immediately remembered that I was still in a seemingly empty world and that if there was someone else around, then that would be a good thing, even if the first contact was them spitting at me.

But as my vision cleared, I realized that there...

Fate Weaver's Legacy #028 - There’s a joke about finally touching grass again somewhere in there

Oops, sorry. Were you important? - Kill a dungeon boss from full health with a single attack. [COMPLETE]

Cool. I guess the coin toss hadn’t done any damage at all.

JamieWasTaken3: why do you keep nearly dying
Irid123: and it should have blown up much sooner if it was that hot
Jeofffff: what did you even throw before?
GonguuH: I think it didn’t explode sooner because it was still in her hands
GonguuH:<...
