[NR] Snowball Stats - Chapter 313

Jason pauses as another thing becomes clear to him. ‘In fact! In fact, this would be the difference between mortal and primordial Energy. My mortal Energy is able to replace itself in equal amounts to it being destroyed, converted, or otherwise neutralized. That is why the threads in the stomp can continue to attack but they don’t ever grow beyond their starting amount. This would explain why Energy still exists, even with the world’s core and all that mess. My core, the environment, an...

[D'sP] Doyle Worries About His Presence - Chapter 152

Later on back in the dungeon, Doyle is tweaking a few things on the second floor when a pop up interrupts him.

{Disconnecting Energy Well influence from external Territory...

Town Anchor applying area restrictions to Energy Well influence...

New Options available for Town/Dungeon interactions}

‘Huh’, Doyle pauses, ‘Well that’s a new one. I guess that’s a good thing for me as I don’t have to hold back my territory anymore. [System, show me the new options.]�...

[NR] Scattered Goals - Chapter 311

It once again takes a good bit of time for Jason to fall into his moving meditation. He really just does not jive with it. Still, he powers through and returns to watching the flow of his stats. Then it vanishes barely a few minutes later as the first change to the next form happens.

Jason shakes his head and centers himself again before restarting. Another failure and another happens one after another before he manages to pass over the first slow down. Of course, he then falls at the s...

[NR] Viewing His Stats But Not His Status - Chapter 310

By the point Jason had gotten into the flow, though, it was almost dinnertime. So, with a bit of regret, he finishes up and heads back to the house.

After a delicious stew, Jason spends a bit of time with his regular meditation to see if he can now pick stuff out but without the movement everything is blank. Just another example of the System being lazy. Still, it does put a timer on his attempts because in a few days it will be time to leave.

Not only that, but irl it is going to...

[D'sP] Not Much There - Chapter 151

Ace groans, “Well, that sounds like a problem for the future.”

Lily laughs, “Or not even your problem at all. Let those kingdom builders take care of it. For now, just focus on your town.”

Ace just lazily waves his hand in the air as he calls up the town panel.

Ace frowns, “Of course everything would be in sub panels. [Buildings].”

[D'sP] Guess What The System Took Away - Chapter 150

Ace sighs, “Check early and check often, got it.”

Lily giggles, “You could say that. Though after a certain point, things should stabilize to the point you only need to check after new boss floors pop up. After all, it isn’t like you are controlling the dungeon’s internal space with this. You’re just poking at whatever the dungeon can outside of itself.”

Ace frowns, “And am the only one that can see this?”

Lily nods, “At the moment. You could give others ...

[NR] Martial Meditation - Chapter 309

Jason sighs, “Any advice on which yard to check out?”

Peter nods, “I actually do. Not all yards are made the same. You’ve seen one without realizing what it was already. Or at least you should have seen as you’ve been outside the walls. The one outside the gate closest to here is mostly what you’re going to find. A large empty field you likely mistook for fallow farmland.”

Jason frowns, “That does sound familiar, but I don’t remember seeing anyone training there?...

[NR] Let Me Ask Again, How About Some Lunch? - Chapter 308

It takes Jason a good portion of the next day to finally come to a decision. His stats are wrong. Technically, before level 100 what he currently has would be fine. Everyone will have just core stats to provide a good base for the future. After level 100 however, they start to unlock special stats depending on what they’ve done.

A wizard focused on rapid fire spells would get stats focused on faster cast times while one focused on a specific element would gain a stat representing thei...

[D'sP] It's Lily! - Chapter 149

Ace politely claps as the orc finishes his presentation. “A bit out of our price range but I’m excited to see my people outfitted properly. With how quick the dungeon is growing, it shouldn’t take too long.”

The orc nods, “I will admit that gold can be tight. But that is why this isn’t a farmers store. No! This is a store for delvers. While most common folk can live their entire lives using silver, adventurers are a different breed. They might not be nobles or merchants but ...

[NR] Dissecting Energetic Body Reinforcement - Chapter 307

With a starting point, Jason can finally dig into what is up with his stats. “System, show me Energetic Body Reinforcement.”

{Energetic Body Reinforcement

[NR] Apparently His Stats A Decent - Chapter 306

The meal was nice but Dinner focused on Jason and his question. Peter was suitably shocked at Jason’s status, being able to show the difference between his base stats and bonus stats. Of course things like equipment bonuses would be shown broken out but that would be easy enough to figure out by just taking the stuff off.

After that, though, things got down to brass tacks. Everyone went back and forth over earning stats and starring them. In the end it is Rachel who ends up with the m...

[D'sP] Orc In A Suit - Chapter 148

As Ace exits the leather workshop, he glances over at the town hall but shakes his head. While the temptation of seeing what is up with the only building they actually built themselves is tempting, he wanted to get through the rest of them first. Good thing there isn’t much left, just the general store and the delver store.

Of which Ace heads towards the general store first. Anything to do with the dungeon is going to be its own bundle of fun and so can wait its turn. Without even a g...

[D'sP] Why This But Not That - Chapter 147

Once the door is closed Ace can no longer hear the Butcher’s demands and so with a smile he heads over to the well-placed right in front of town hall. It is a quaint little construction looking like a classic wishing well except for the fact the two poles holding up the roof are made of two big bones. A quick look in shows there actually is water at the bottom and not some System shenanigans. Though that does bring up the question of if the thing has unlimited water or actually plugs into t...

[NR] You Really Shouldn't Have That - Chapter 305

Jason completely forgets his original goal of figuring out the sixth step for Energy and continues to wool gather over concepts and how they fit into NeoRealm and the System. Though the only advancement this provides him is 0.001 percent to his Civilization concepts and Jason admits to himself, that was likely related to his first thoughts about Lily and not any day dreaming on his part.

Lily is happy, though. She really hasn’t been spending as much time with Jason as she would like a...

[NR] Lily Is More Civilized Than Jason - Chapter 304

Jason frowns at Ascendance only going up 0.003 percent. ‘Well, at least now I know it isn’t locked at two decimal points. Though yeah, I can’t just mull over stuff like this until I max it. I already had some understanding of this sort of thing and this was simply connecting it together. An important thing to do and if it was entirely new information or realizations would likely be worth more. Hell, the fact I gained so much is saying something. Substance going up more than a quarter is...

[D'sP] Almost The God Of Butchers - Chapter 146

The old man laughs, “If you have someone with experience butchering things or at least has the skill for it then you don’t need me for much. From what I can remember of other times the system has used a me I tend to be unbothered once a town grows enough. There have even been times when a town has closed the butcher shop though I don’t advise it.”

“Since there is a dungeon I have two main functions. The first and biggest reason to keep me around is the fact that I can butcher ...

[NR] Prodigy Title - Chapter 303

Long story short? The other book didn’t have any further help for Jason. He read the whole book and then reread the Energy specific parts but nothing jumped out at him. Despite the person assisting the author having put down a few of the steps that is as far as they had gotten it seems. Jason can only shake his head, ‘The System is most definitely screwing over Energy users and I doubt the other players are doing much to help the situation. I give it fifty fifty odds of a local even remem...

[NR] The Seventh Step - Chapter 302

Jason shakes his head and refocuses on the last two steps. For the sixth he is still missing the Energy equivalent so for now can only write down how it works with Mana and Qi. And what there is to write down just makes him realize how tricky it is going to be to figure out the Energy equivalent.

Because this is the one step with the most variance. From the two powers he does have, the idea behind this step is specialization. Not that he had to guess too much about that. Gregor’s note...

[D'sP] Soul Plates - Chapter 145

Ace can only sigh and turn towards where Jimmy had built the town hall and is happy to see it in the same place they left it. The place wouldn’t do as good of a job in pretending to hide a secret if it was shifted over a building or two. Besides that, though, there are six other buildings around it and Ace can see a number of beings inside them.

Ace is about to go and check it out when Susan Smithson comes out to get him. “Um, Ace, the others want you back inside real quick. There i...

[D'sP] Hexagon Portal - Chapter 144

Everyone at the settlement waits for a few minutes as Jimmy is inside doing whatever needs done. For the first bit there are just sounds of him hitting something, but soon there are strange light phenomena coming out of the doors and windows. Then to wrap it up Jimmy starts cursing and he runs out of the front door while colorfully telling everyone to get back.

On the building itself, the strange lights start to cover every surface and takes on the rainbow look of oil on water except co...

[NR] Steps One Through Five - Chapter 301

Jason can only shrug and continue on with his research. Everything is almost complete and he just needs to fill in the gap. Mana and Qi both had seven steps specific to them, so Energy must as well. Though in the back of his head Jason did admit that this wasn’t necessarily true, he was willing to run with it for now.

Of the seven steps, the technique had five which should correspond to the first four steps and the last step. The first book, on the other hand, had four steps of which ...

[NR] More With Less - Chapter 300

All that aside, Jason now has two methods of improving his Energy. Both to grow the amount the System allows and the untapped base amount as well. Though looking more closely at the first technique, Jason notices that it isn’t really a technique per se. Rather, it feels more like a couple of exercises out of a routine. As if he had a ripped piece of paper that only said pushups and squats. Good exercises but alone they aren’t worth as much.

Jason turns back to Basic Core Refinement....

[D'sP] Can You Not Show Up For A Couple Days? - Chapter 143

Over the next few days a similar scene will repeat itself. Every morning, two teams of six will show up. One focused on farming food and the other tried to reach the third floor and the ore. This works decently well despite losing a person on the second day because of the last kobold on the first floor unexpectedly leading their goats out to join the camp fight.

On the fourth day, though, things change. The exploration team had been pushing forward through sheer stubbornness and overuse...

[NR] Conceptual Percentages - Chapter 299

Unknown to Jason and quite luckily for him as well, those researchers and such that are observing him are incapable of detecting the three conceptual powers. To them it looks like a lot of power is entering his body only to disappear. This is of course strange, but not on the level of “bust down the door and take him in for questioning” strange. While not public, the idea of conservation of energy has been called into question because of the strange powers and so the stuff just vanishing ...

[NR] It Is Boring To Watch Jason - Chapter 298

Jason thanks Gregor for the book and heads back to his room to give it a read before he logs off for the night. No matter how interesting it is, he will have enough time to read it tomorrow and in the future. The book itself isn’t too big and since it is so common he can probably pick one up for cheap enough so should provide some light reading material on his journey.

Once back in his room a quick read of the intro section for Energy users basically just rehashes what Gregor told him...

[D'sP] No Really, The Dungeon Is Tough - Chapter 142

When it comes to the two teams from upriver, Susan isn’t wrong about them. While not as decked out as the idiot from yesterday, they still have some of the “finest” pre-system gear their town has to offer. And while the 12 guys are competent enough, they aren’t up to the standards of even the crafters in the settlement. None of them has a skill level higher than ten and despite that their levels are all north of ten.

About the only thing positive someone from the settlement migh...

[D'sP] Combat Shaping Vs Building - Chapter 141

The next day comes and with a little tweaking of the plan by Susan, Ace’s idea works. The boat arrives filled to the brim with 15 people on it. One is of course the captain, 12 plan to delve the dungeon in two parties, and the last two are a bit more tricky. The settlement up the river doesn’t mind the equipment lost within the dungeon, but those four women who didn’t delve still have their stuff.

Of course Ace and company are perfectly fine with getting rid of the pre-system equi...

[NR] An Ancient Technique - Chapter 297

And Gregor wasn’t lying about looking for something in the library. You would think that with such a small library he would know where everything was. Jason however learns upon them entering the library that there is more to it than expected. What had looked like normal shelves soon prove otherwise, as magical runes light up and they start to rise upward. The books on the top shift back and out of the way for the ones below.

And it isn’t even just a simple doubling of shelf space as...

[NR] Ruffles Her Hair - Chapter 296

Back in NeoRealm, Jason once again starts to question if he can train his soul or not instead of just trying. Now though that he has cleared his head irl and has a tighter grip on himself this doesn’t deter him. If the soul can be trained in NeoRealm that would be a major breakthrough and another oddity. He had already tried some basic things in his VR room, as well as some of the other VR games that he had access to before becoming an adult. None of them worked, but the excessive resistanc...

[D'sP] It Is Magic All The Way Down - Chapter 140

Ace face palms, “Okay, so we don’t need to worry too much about mind control because that idiot true immortal who stumbled upon our dimension bought a system biased against it. Is there anything else worrying you would like to add?”

Kelly shrugs, “I’m sure I know all kinds of worrying things but nothing right now that relates to mind control.”

Ace sighs, “I can’t even make mind control spells illegal because I don’t have some easy line to draw. Is a fear spell mi...
