Darkness, an endless abyss, an immaterial void; everything and nowhere at the same time. Sounds, chilling sounds encroached, scratching, padding. There was a residual feeling, one that told me that I wanted out. I reached to the void and tapped it; tapped and tapped. Eventually it gave way, bringing light to my world.

I chirped, and everything faded.

Darkness returned. The words in my mind lingered, something about surviving, something abou...

Chapter. 20: Incandescent

Eerie clacks filled the cave, it was as if I had stepped into a world of fire in itself. Light shone giving way to a skeletal silhouette, every step rang hollow in my ears. All there was in my mind at that moment was: Run. I tried to use Explosive Shot but with my current mana it wasn’t enough, to do anything with it. In spite of having a mana potion in effect, amidst the burning heat of a desert it felt like nothing but a small drop into a lake. 2022-09-01 04:42:23 +0000 UTC View Post

Chapter. 19: Scorched

I chased after the Boreal Kame, its frost white plumage eluded me, barely catching glimpses of its red scaly spine every now and then. The bird was as fast as me it seemed, getting no good shooting angles I had no choice but to simply follow along. It didn’t seem to be doing any type of effort to escape so much as just evading me, constantly breaking line of sight, but in spite of everything, it never stopped.

The chase continued for hours, neither ...

Chapter. 18: Tepid

‘Lootboxes,’ as Glim decided to call them, were very useful. So far I had found two more chests, one was on top of a tree, and the other was inside a small crevice under a river. The first box contained a small vial that was in the shape of a tear, one that seemed to contain no more than a drop of liquid; it was ethereal, sometimes it was pitch-black and other times it shone in a multitude of colors.

Chapter. 17: Interlude: Dark Elf
The dark elf had left, Dante breathed a sigh of relief, relief that he didn’t need to deal with her anymore. He didn’t even know whether to call her dark elf or just elf, thankfully the volatile lady didn’t seem to mind. All he could do was hate his damned luck, who would’ve thought that on a dreary monday he’d be thrown into fantasy land. Sure, he had read his fair bit of fantasy books, but he barely understood wha...

Chapter. 16: Everwood; Everdead
Approaching the campsite was easier than I had thought, their sense of hearing wasn’t particularly sharp, at least not enough to hear me step over a small branch anyway, thankfully I didn’t need to get too close to be able to listen in the things they were saying⁠, their language thankfully seemed to be the same as mine.
[Or perhaps, it’s just Universal Understanding doing the work.] Glim commented and I h...

Chapter. 15: Loot
I sat down inside the crevice, making sure to avoid all vomit. The snake had been gone for about one hour now. I simply stared at the timer trying to distract myself, I was in a pathetic state, my legs were bleeding from the slide, and I struggled to simply not faint from the lack of mana.
[Incubation Period: 6 days 0 hours 1 minute]
I took a deep breath, while I didn’t find the matter something worth celebrating, it was something that ...

Chapter. 14: Facing The Guardian
I stared at the snake, baffled. Hah? Glim didn’t scream at me to run, so at least I knew it wasn’t a Knell Boar. Fighting another Knell Boar would certainly kill me even at level 6. I took a deep breath and grabbed my bow, this was the opportunity I was waiting for. Though part of me felt odd, almost conflicted ⁠— first I considered running from things, then I wanted to kill things, but as soon as they were too strong, I would...

Chapter. 13: Training & Learning
The arrow had embedded itself deep into the tree bark, far enough to the point only half of it was sticking out. It was as if the Loa Vulpe had been nailed into the tree. In the end, I had to dig the arrow out with a knife, an action that took more than half an hour. I discarded my prey, given that I had no use for its pelt or meat. But the whole event did give me a few things to think about, namely that imbuing things with mana seemed to impro...
