[D'sP] Psionic Horn - Chapter 115

Jimmy frowns, “While I do prefer to tell the truth when possible, you seem to be overly focused on doing so.”

Kyle laughs, “There is a reason for that and I guess I’ll need to reveal one of my hidden cards. Though I’m mostly certain a few of you have already figured it out. Plus, we are past the point that I need to keep it hidden from everyone here as it has already served its purpose. From my background as a lawyer, I gained access to the ability to detect lies. Specifically...

[D'sP] The Argument For Bones - Chapter 114

Back in the Dungeon Ally is laughing. She shakes her head and sighs, ‘Did you see how those guys from the other settlement reacted to him whispering? Classic misdirection and a wonderful test. Ace and Kyle had no plans laid out except for Ace to ask A or B and Kyle to respond with B. That whole skit was purely to check if someone in the other group had some form of enhanced hearing or another method of spying on them. I bet they retreat into the dungeon for any serious conversations from no...

[NR] Pinky Checking Time - Chapter 261

Gregor waves Jason over to the slab, “Anyway, let’s take a look at that pinky of yours. I’m interested in what you’ve managed to do. The whole System lines thing isn’t new. You find them in every creature, especially monsters. The stronger the monster, the more lines and the thicker the lines. At this point everyone basically agrees they must have something to do with controlling things, like with how you are prevented from telling me certain things. Fun stuff that, and even if you ...

[NR] Gregor's Workshop - Chapter 260

Gregor coughs, “So yeah, before I examine your finger we should move to my workshop. Not only is there more privacy, but I store my tools in the room. Mainly the observation tools, since while I have trained my eyesight, some things you need a bit of magical assistance.”

Jason nods, “That would be fine. Lead the way.”

Gregor gestures toward the hall with the bedrooms. “My workshop is at the end of the hall. This shouldn’t take all that long, as I’ve already taken out...

[D'sP] Figuring It Out On His Own - Chapter 113

{Invalid Request

Problems: Source of extra drops and preservation box

Please state a solution or choose to cancel the rule}

Doyle leans back, ‘Huh, fair enough. I guess I didn’t question how this all was supposed to get the items in the first place. [System, can I attach loot options to the floor itself?]’

{Loot drops may be attached to any number of things, including groups, challenges, and floors.}

Doyle nods, ‘Okay, it sounds like if I can think of att...

[NR] How You Considered Buying Avatar+? - Chapter 259

{Warnings: Use of NeoRealm avatar in your personal room does not affect the avatar in NeoRealm. Nothing new can be done with the avatar while in your personal room and skills can not be used. If you would like to practice with skills or try new things, you may instead pay for the Avatar+ package. This will increase the cost you pay by a break. Avatar+ still affects nothing in NeoRealm. It is purely to get used to the movements of your skills.}

{Would you like to continue with the purcha...

[NR] Incompatible Energy Removal - Chapter 258

Back with Jason, he is preparing to breakthrough. It’s only been a short time since he started cultivating in the real world, but then again, the first step isn’t the hard part. That would be knowing which road to take and working up the nerve to do so. As Jason had already gone through this twice before, the start was more like walking home at this point instead of an overgrown path leading into the darkness.

Jason had set up the whirlpool of energies in his dantian, and with the c...

[D'sP] Fourth Floor Map - Chapter 112

Doyle leans back after reading the strange dungeon stone’s description. ‘Well, the description goes a bit farther than Ally explained. I don’t think she hid anything, but it does seem I can’t trust her information to be all knowing. Not that I particularly did? I figured with basic things like this, her tutorial info would be more complete. Anyway, let’s set up the wolves loot list now.’

Doyle spends a few moments tweaking things and ends up with a display to visually play a...

[D'sP] Making A Box - Chapter 111

Doyle is about to turn back to working on the fourth floor when something pops into his mind. ‘Hey Ally, what’s up with the coin costs? A copper costs me ten to put down, while a silver only costs 100 and gold 1000. That doesn’t make any sense at all. It takes 100 coppers to make a silver, so it costs me the same to place a silver as it does to place a tenth of a silver’s value in copper. Beyond that, how much does a plate cost? As I pointed out, a tenth of a silver in copper, which i...

[NR] She Knows More Than He Suspects - Chapter 257

Once again alone, Jason sighs. ‘That wasn’t really in my plan and cut into cultivation time, but what can you do? Plus, it reminded me I need to keep up my real life, no matter how much that and NeoRealm might overlap.’ Jason shakes his head and settles in to cultivate.

Outside of the apartment, his mom is riding away in the taxi. Her phone rings and she goes to answer it. Or tries to, at least. Instead of answering, it releases a series of beeps that causes her to sigh and rub th...

[NR] Beating Up the Dummy - Chapter 256

Jason’s mom shrugs, “A girl can dream. Anyway, don’t try to dodge out of my request. Show me why you need the new punching bag. Display your martial prowess!”

Jason sighs and drags the punching bag out of the corner. “You want to see what I can do? Well, here it is.” And he takes a step back. He hadn’t really planned on doing an exhibition of his skills right at this moment, so closes his eyes and takes a few deep breaths. This calms him down and provides a chance to plan ...

[D'sP] What About The Spawned Items - Chapter 110

Doyle sighs, ‘I really don’t have a reason not to. [System, put ten points into dungeon core three.]’

{10 points applied to Dungeon Core III...

30/100 - You have earned 5 Stat points

35/100 - You have earned +50 World Energy/Hour and +1 Luck}

Doyle tilts to the side, ‘Huh, not technically the three wisdom points I wanted but it will work fine. Now where to put the two extra points?’

He looks over at his status panel that he hadn’t closed yet. ‘Okay,...

[NR] Oh, You're Home - Chapter 255

Dinner over, Jason heads to his room and logs off. As the pod’s lid cycles open, he is stuck thinking about his new goal in the game, to convert all the lines in his character’s body. A longer term goal than any of his others. While a mage might get thousands of mana in their pool, Energy if different. He shakes his head and crawls out of the pod, game matters can stay in game for now.

Jason walks out into the living room only to hear an odd noise. Someone is in the kitchen, raiding...

[NR] Micropig Soup - Chapter 254

But this new node and lines are not enough for Jason. He can tell that even though they look like the rest of them, they aren’t. Instead of stopping there and congratulating himself, Jason repeats the process, taking apart the node and nearby threads before putting it back together. This is repeated over and over until Jason is satisfied that to his current sense the new node and lines are the same as the others in his body.

Jason stands up and stretches before checking the time. ‘H...

[D'sP] So Many Wolves - Chapter 109

The answer was not many at all. The way Doyle had learned to draw four dots in a square. Then draw a plus sign inside that square. You can make it bigger by extending lines from the dots and the plus then adding more dots at the new corner and so on. Or that is how he remembers it. But once you have that, start at one end of the plus and connect it to the next line or dot over. Either way will work, but you need to remember the direction. Then go to the next line or dot over from the original...

[D'sP] New Elemental Variant - Chapter 108

Doyle turns away from Ally and focuses on his core. It is once again time to form another floor. He reaches deep into his core, down to that single point of darkness. Around him is a sea of power, however unlike the previous two times there is a sea beyond the sea. Doyle takes his time to examine this before realization hits him.

That sea beyond the sea is the extra power. The overflow of world energy beyond what his current floor needed. Doyle shifts his point of view to look closer at...

[NR] Oh Right, My Pinky - Chapter 253

Jason pauses and facepalms, ‘Though I might want to finish up with what I was trying to do with my fingers. Gods and Goddesses, I can’t even remember exactly what I was doing.’

Jason shifts his attention to his pinky and the scene there brings it all back. He had been observing the lines in his pinky and when experimenting the one line untwisted and frayed. After that he had put in a temporary fix. But like most temporary fixes, since it worked, he forgot to go back and fix the pr...

[NR] The Stamina Pool - Chapter 252

Jason shrugs, “Picked up the power expulsion skill at the guild.”

Peter frowns, “There’s a skill for that? Seems like having a skill for walking.”

Jason raises an eyebrow, “Honestly, a walking skill would be useful. One of the things adventurers spend most of their time on.”

Peter shrugs, “True enough, though at that point you’re going to want a breathing skill. Well, a normal breathing skill. There are enough breathing based skills. Things like breath cont...

[D'sP] About Recharge Bonuses - Chapter 107

Doyle turns to Ally after having watched the settlement’s meeting and asks, ‘Can they do that?’

Ally shrugs, ‘Well, if they live long enough to be here when the sun goes kablooey there is nothing stopping them. Of course, there are all sorts of caveats like them deciding to not leave. At the moment they feel trapped on the planet, but well before that time people should be able to just abandon ship.’

Doyle levels his core and does a good impression of a stare. ‘You for...

[NR] Improvised Mana Wood Crafting - Chapter 251

Jason waves bye to Gregor and steps into the house. With the door closed, he deposits the money and then calls up his wealth tab to check how he has done since last checking.

[NR] Now Go Home - Chapter 250

Jason just stood back and let Jenny finish her venting. Once she stops talking, Jason coughs. “Well. That sucks. Um, so, what does the skill do?”

Jenny lets out a heavy sigh and shakes her head to clear it. “Still a useful skill, even if it is just giving you back what you should already have. I would much rather use both my hands free in a fight. So even if the System was the one to tie the hand back there in the first place, I want that hand free.”

“As for the mechanic...

[D'sP] What Jan Bought - Chapter 106

A short while later everyone in the settlement has gathered. Ace looks around at the group and sighs. “It looks like we might need to speed up our growth.”

Kelly shakes her head, “We are already going as fast as we should. Any faster could jeopardize our foundation. Really, we should slow down! If it wasn’t for the third floor’s metal ore, I would suggest we limit ourselves to the first floor. With how low the levels are there, our experience rates would plummet and push towar...

[D'sP] You Can't Decide - Chapter 105

Ally shrugs, ‘Even with you weighing everything down with loot, that doesn’t mean equipment will rain down on the delvers. If anything, having so much loot spread around the drop rate is now slower than before. Though only for a little while. All that loot is competing for energy. Once they have filled up, the drop rate will increase.’

‘I don’t think they mind. None of them expect actual loot and are quite happy that everything drops money. Though speaking of everything droppi...

[NR] Jenny Rants Against The System - Chapter 249

As Jason pushes the stamina out, he loses some power like last time, though at a much slower rate. In fact, slow enough that he manages to push some of it out. Only about a pinky tip’s worth, but enough to count. Overall, this took half an hour to complete the task, so he stands up and stretches while yawning.

Off to the side, Jenny nods, “Good job. While not the quickest I’ve seen, it was far from the slowest. Anyway, now that you’ve finished the first step, time for more step-...

[NR] Finding A Pool - Chapter 248

Having notified Jenny of his first success, Jason settles back in for the more difficult step of moving his stamina. Energy was easy enough as

While it was spread through his body, most of the Energy was centered on his core. Stamina on the other hand is diffused through his entire body. To move it would be like trying to hold on to the air.

‘There should be a central location for the pool, even if stamina seems to be diffused through the entire body. Once I find the pool’s lo...

[D'sP] Setting Up More Loot - Chapter 104

Doyle nods, ‘Fair enough. Though I guess with that figured out I should get back to updating my drops.’

Ally waves her hand, ‘You have a bit of time before the next group comes in so take your time. I’m just going to be here reading some news if you need me for anything.’

Doyle tilts to the side, ‘Reading some news? Where is that coming from?’

Ally shrugs, ‘While the system cut me off during the tutorial, that isn’t the case anymore. Not that I can talk to ...

[NR] One From The Deep - Chapter 247

The lady nods, “Anyway, do you want to learn power expulsion now or are you coming back later?”

Jason laughs, “As you pointed out, neither of us have much else to do! Might as well get to it right now. Here’s the ten gold.” And he pulls the money out of his coin purse.

She smiles and receives the money, “Since this is going to be a thing, I guess I should introduce myself. My name is Jenny, I’m a deep one hybrid, and I specialize in support skills. While I don’t kn...

[NR] Shopping for a Skill - Chapter 246

Through the gate just in front of him, Jason can see building styles that must come from all the kingdoms within a large radius. Not even houses themselves stick to a single style. Some places will have the bottom floor differ from the top. Others have that crazy grown over the years look that happens when a family keeps adding on to a place with time.

If Jason was to be honest with himself, the next area is where he would shop if that was his plan. Instead, though, he walks ov...

Should Chapter Titles be included in a Post that lists all the chapters

I'm making a post that will have links to all the chapters so that it will be easier for new Patrons to read the early access posts. Do you think I should include the chapter titles? I try to make sure they aren't too spoilerly for the chapter itself but that isn't really the case for people looking ahead. Also, if I include the titles it will take up much more space while without titles I can keep things more condensed. I see three ways of doing this. The no options will be added together to...
