In the end, both Astrid and I require Ethan to help The Retreat once for losing against us. And the second time he lost to me I make him agree to assist me in case another Cataclysm Class monster shows up, meanwhile Astrid makes him agree to spar with her and help her in adjusting to her power as a Class S species. Something that didn’t happen naturally like it did with me, considering that she didn’t become one naturally.
Of course, Ethan decides to ...

Almost immediately upon his tower appearing, I find myself rather shocked. Because Leonidas actually did almost the exact same thing with his tower as Belle did with hers.
Except that his tower is even better suited for this sort of strategy than hers was.
Belle ended up being placed at about seventh overall, but that was largely because of her little obsession. Since I know she’s very obsessed with only defending a certain way. Kind of like how ...

I quickly send a wave of lunar ice out all around me, freezing absolutely everything in a five meter radius including the black ball of mist. And man does it feel good to do that, considering my last experience fighting against one of these things. Meanwhile the audience watching me goes absolutely wild at my display of power. A display they’ve never seen in person before. Only on a screen.
Unfortunately for them, the display doesn’t exactly last for ve...

Dimensional Council Chamber
“Then all of the details are agreed upon,” Varsac declares, following which over a dozen of the most influential Authority Holders within the room state their agreements. Then the King of Giants turns to look back at the grand booth at the very center of the Dimensional Council Chamber. A booth that currently has a purple veil thrown over it, making it impossible to look within the booth or hear sounds coming from within.

The other competitors go by just as quickly as the first ones did, with the human competitors doing better on average than the demon ones. Which isn’t really saying all that much since the demon competitors outnumber the humans by a significant number. Not to mention that only around half of the remaining humans did better than the demons, likely having played tower defense games themselves.
Eventually it reaches the top rankers, beginning with the low...

What does that even mean?
The System Architect stays silent. Although I’m not sure if it’s because of the agreement we made or just him not wanting to respond.
All of the whispered conversations in the chamber grow even louder after the notification. Meanwhile I find an odd, red and purple colored countdown located in the top right corner of my vision....

The discussions continue on for a while as I contemplate the new information that the Architect dumped on me.
Considering that mana manipulation and energy manipulation are a thing, that means we can use spells and skills without the skills needed for it. I guess just either no one thought of trying, or it was too difficult to replicate what the skills do.
Then again, I’m pretty sure the skills we’re given by the System are all a lot more compli...

Unlike with when I first met the man, Anthony currently has a few flickers of black scales on his right cheek, the back of his neck, and on his shoulders and knees. Meanwhile a couple of his strands of hair have the appearance of black tentacles instead. But only if you look very closely. So close that you’re practically almost seeing the DNA level.
Something most people can’t see with their naked eye.

One competitor goes after another, and each one does about the same as the first, give or take. Some last for four minutes, others for six minutes.
I’m pretty sure some of them even pretty much do just the bare minimum in defenses so that they can take with them the extra points from this competition, apparently deciding they’re going to lose before even trying. Which isn’t a bad idea for them.
After about six competitors go, Aria’s turn ar...

Not much more to say than the title. I got both my Flu and COVID vaccines yesterday and also did an intense workout right after getting them. So now I feel like complete shit.
I pushed today's WBM and Reaper chapters to Friday, and I canceled the Winter Wolf chapters entirely. So Friday will have 2 chapters for WBM and 2 for Reaper.
Most likely I'll feel fine again tomorrow since it's just a poor vaccine reaction. Something that happens every time I get the COVID vaccine.

After the light fades, I find myself standing on a platform high in the air suspended by chains. And when I move to the edge to look down, I find a massive spiral staircase going down the sides of the hole in a bit of a mixture between a staircase and slope, with the bottom of the hole being too far down for me to see. Meanwhile the openings across the staircase-slope thing – one with very few stairs – all appear to just open up into pitch black tunnels.

It takes a while for anyone to say anything, but they do eventually say things. Not the people on the lower levels, but the ones on the higher levels.
“Pardon, and I mean no offense with this, but why should we-” King Varsac begins, only to cut off when I flash energy through my eyes, making them glitch out a few times while flaring with a bright purple light.

I find a rather large problem when I arrive at the place that I sense the last nest located at. One that I kind of wish the doctor would’ve told me about, even though she likely didn’t know I was going to attempt it right now.
It is rather close to the secondary nest near our base after all. There’s a chance she didn’t expect I would head out here thanks to that.
But I need to clear out the nest. And more importantly, I want the cry...

There sure are a lot of surprises in this cave.
I frown slightly at the sight of the projection above the little coin Thrix 2 gave me.
“Yeah, I returned,” I respond with a slight nod of my head. “Thank you for helping him.”
The man in the projection looks the same as when I saw him before. Elderly and slightly gruff looking.
But judging by the message he gave me after leaving, this isn’t his re...

An awkward silence ensues for a total of five seconds before the dwarven king lightly shakes his head and turns to look at the others, saying, “Told ya’ she wouldn’t be interested in fightin’ the scalies.”

To start things off, I ignore the menu for now and take a walk around the tower. Since before I set up my defenses, I need to know what the tower itself is like.
A process that takes several minutes to do. Less than I would’ve expected, more than I would’ve preferred.
Considering the countdown on the corner of my vision though, it should be fine. It does list fifty-two minutes remaining, so…
Putting the time limit aside for now, since I...

But it's fine. Even if I got a zero on the exam I should still pass the class. And at this point I don't really care about my gpa. It's already 3.26 or so, and I'm not going to be using my degree anyways.

Nearly every last screen across Grim’s universe shows The Winter Wolf in his new form as he sends a massive wave of lunar ice of eternity outwards, flooding the abyss of darkness with pale blue light. Light that quickly begins to freeze everything in sight, even the darkness itself. Meanwhile the vast majority of the viewers watching let out cheers of excitement, regardless of whether or not they were fans of The Winter Wolf before now.
