The Gamer Chapter 1695 – Boons for the Axolotl

John pulled the first window in front of him. “There will be 3 ‘minor’ boons, then a selection of the kinds of spells I can grant you, then one such spell, then 2 ‘greater’ boons and finally one more ‘minor’ boon,” he explained to Nahua. In actual terms, this meant 3 Monster Girl Perks, the Skill Focus selection, 1 Skill Perk, 2 Monster Girl Ascension Perks and finally another regular Monster Girl Perk.

“Wow, that’s a lot! I hope I can handle it,�...

The Gamer Chapter 1694 – Digging and Conjecture

John pushed up against Nahua’s mental defences. The wall was not particularly sturdy, but would be soon enough. “That keeps me from reading your surface thoughts,” he told her.

“Wonderful.” Nahua put one of her pawns forwards and John immediately answered with a move of his own. They had been exchanging details for the better part of three hours. As many questions as John had about the Aztec realm, none of them were as urgent as the various questions Nahua ...

The Gamer Chapter 1693 – Sacrifice and Tranquillity 

“A bird of metal?” Nahua asked when she saw the airplane. “What a particular shape for a conjured home.”

“Actually, it’s on wheels,” John told her, but did not stop to explain that to her in detail. She hummed at the suggestion. Even if the Aztec civilization on the Abyssal side had the benefits of magic, matter of fact was that Nahua was even more technologically delayed than most long-lived entities they ran into. Between the isolation and this neck of the world h...

Drip-Fed – A Rivalry 13 – Payment is Due

“It ain’t normal,” Alabasta said.

“Certainly not.” Atlas was gently spreading oil over the length of his blade. The fluid sparkled in the early sunlight. Tiny bits of alchemically loosened true silver particles within the liquid were attracted to the gaps in the enchanted item’s physical shape. Every magical item had a soul, of sorts, and that soul allowed for the intended shape to be reclaimed or retained via procedures like this.

Any tiny scratche...

The Gamer Chapter 1692 – Chase for the Cure Finale – Nahua-xoco-atl-xolotl

“Let me lead,” Aclysia requested and John nodded.

The dragon maid jumped into the amniotic fluid that had been left in the sack that Xipe-Totec had been sealed in. The vile soup turned solid around her ankles. Raising Tiemarath, she prepared herself to break the damaged seal. Fake their keys may have been, but the Flayer Lord had not restored the seal as he probably had intended after being set free.

One plunge of the weapon cut through the sack and the sto...

The Gamer Chapter 1691 – Chase for the Cure 9 – vs Huitzilopochtli

The god of sacrifice charged again. John spawned two Unstable Arcana’s in his path. The spheres pulsed, covering Huitzilopochtli’s skin in silver, arcane fire. It vanished as quickly as it came, progressing like a flash burn, and left little visible marks.

The goal wasn’t to deliver initial damage anyhow, it was to create two Mana Chains that shot at the god’s back. As the Perk-created projectiles rippled out of their dimensional anchors, John shot two additi...

The Gamer Chapter 1690 – Chase for the Cure 8 – Decay


‘Easy selection there,’ John thought and pressed the button for ‘Must Find…’. He didn’t eve...

Drip-Fed – A Rivalry 12 – A Planned Encounter

Apexus hid in a cluster of swamp grass. The tall plants hid his form well. A number of leeches in the water attempted to draw nourishment from his naked calves. They failed to penetrate the skin and swam on after a while.

From his position, the slime had a good look at Aclysia and the beam of summerly sunlight that she projected. It was a focused, if harmless, ray, illuminating the form of the monster that was following the brightness.

The Chimera Gargant was e...

The Gamer Chapter 1689 – Chase for the Cure 7 – A guest in the Necropolis [Lorelei POV]

“Hold still,” Glory instructed. The fingers of the golden wraith smeared a salve over the cut on the seer’s throat. It did little to heal the wound, but at least staunched the bleeding. “More vitality to you than I would think,” he complimented her.

“I have been blessed by the Lady through the acts of my beloved,” Lorelei answered.

“And now you get to visit the Necropolis, you are a blessed one!” Zelos declared.

“That we even give her ...

Drip-Fed – A Rivalry 11 – Garlic and Strategy

“You sure?” Atlas asked.

Apexus nodded stoically. “We have what we came for. We won’t leave before we slay the Gargant. Might as well lend you a hand.”

“Won’t say no then,” Atlas stated, then was pulled aside in favour of his dryad girlfriend.

The Witch held up a book. It was a different and much less impressive piece of literature compared to her grimoire. The binding was cheap, barely more than lime and some string. Mass production had b...

The Gamer Chapter 1688 – Chase for the Cure 6 – The Past reaching into the Future

“The Abyssal Aztecs separated their territory into spheres of influence. Their rulership class was headed by three god-warriors that were supposed reincarnations of the lords of the north, east, and west. They, in turn, were underneath their ‘equal but superior’ in the form Huitzilopochtli who would refuse to sit on the throne he inherited from the old pantheon. The god of sacrifice kept the Giant’s Puss at bay, but in return required mass, well, sacrifices. In ord...

Drip-Fed – A Rivalry 10 – A Shared Camp

‘Man, that’s the last thing I wanted to know about the guy,’ Atlas thought and moved his eye away from the tiny pecker the huge Monk had between his legs. ‘Monks sure can be weirdos.’

“Put on some clothes, vulgar creature!” the high elf ranger shouted and notably averted her gaze.

Apexus did so only after cleaning the remaining wetness of the lake from his legs. The last thing he wanted was to go through all the trouble of taking the pants off onl...

Drip-Fed – A Rivalry 9 – Shipwreck

“So, I guess we just stand here and wait?” Korith asked.

“Yup-puh.” Reysha let the end of the confirmation pop, then took another bite of gorilla arm. “Want me to eat you out while we wait?”

“No!” Korith answered.

“I’d wash out my mouth first.”

“That is not the issue! There’s absolutely no cover around and there’s monsters about.”

“…Since when are we against outdoor sex?”

“Since there is no cover aro...

The Gamer Chapter 1687 – Chase for the Cure 5 – The Fourth Rider 

“Shhh, shhhhh,” John whispered to Momo.

The fairy maid was trembling. After the initial shock had settled, she had joined them in combat. With all of the ants on the surface reduced to paste, Momo had suddenly tackled him. She was crying and he did not yet fully understand why. He did know that he needed to console her more than he needed to worry about Lorelei though. At least for the moment.

“What’s wrong?” he asked her, when the trembling had diminished.

...

Drip-Fed – A Rivalry 8 – Chance meeting at the Lake

Apexus peeked his head out of the door of the Mobile Estate. His eyes scanned the immediate surroundings of the door. Carefully, he stepped outside. There was nothing behind the minimal space between the door and the tree they had placed it against.

“It’s clear,” he told the rest of the party, who hopped out of the Mobile Estate one after another. Reysha stretched under the morning sun. It was a cold spring morning, but the rays were still warm and the air fres...

The Gamer Chapter 1686 – Chase for the Cure 4 – Death.

Of all the entities that he would run into, John had assumed that he would have had at least a degree of resistance against the appearance of the god of the fear of death. Media was saturated with this form of death.

Yet, he felt dread at the sight of it.

The Grim Reaper was little to look at. A black robe covered a shape of uncertain dimensions. The tattered cloth moved in constant, soft waves, like the surface of a deep and dark ocean. Cloth whispered. Wide s...

Drip-Fed – A Rivalry 7 – Midnight Arousal [Erotic Content]

Korith woke up. It was a random awakening, brought about by nothing else than the heat between her legs and in her chest.

The shortstack was pretty used to waking up like this by this point. Sleeping naked in a bed shared with two other nubile women and a massive stud of a man just had that effect sometimes. Not that she hadn’t woken up horny before these current circumstances, but the pheromones in the air just made it that much more frequent, as did the bulky arm...

Drip-Fed – A Rivalry 6 – Rankings

The Adventurer’s Guild separated its members into ten tiers, signified by cards made from ever rarer kinds of metal.

Copper cards were the lowest of the low. They were so cheap to produce that the service of having them created was free in basically every Guild outpost around the Omniverse. Anyone who wanted to get a copper card could do so at any point and for any reason. It was no surprise then that they were the most frequently seen. Even adventurers of higher t...

Drip-Fed – A Rivalry 5 – Books, Commerce and Apologies

“Where is it… where is it?” the old lady mumbled.

The reward for the Quest already lay on the table. Four whole gold coins, most of it in silver, carefully counted by Korith and then put into the party treasury by Aclysia. It was the entirety of the reward promised and already made the party breathe a lot easier. With this, they could definitely live a while and even afford some new equipment.

The reason why the old lady was shuffling through the cupboard...

The Gamer Chapter 1685 – Chase for the Cure 3 – Ants vs Zombies [Momo POV]

“Could mean sated, could mean hungry, could mean overflowing…” Momo scratched the back of her head, studying the photo prime-John had sent her via Harem Comms. “This is why pictographs suck. They’re super hard to interpret correctly and then they have double meanings too…” She studied the image more closely. “I haven’t even seen that one before… it’s a combination of other glyphs…. Maybe it’s ‘the spring water monster has gorged itself on the di...

The Gamer Chapter 1684 – Chase for the Cure 2 – Mummy Lords

It was complete luck.

They had put a grid on top of their assumed path of the road, estimated in relation to where the roads in Tathnuachan met the village border, and were making their way down. Because they were on a timer, they had been assigning higher and lower priority to squares. Most of the squares down the path had been low priority, because the path itself was absolutely gone. What they were looking for were the waypoints and cities along the road, and sinc...

Drip-Fed – A Rivalry 4 – Incursion

‘This Leaf is truly gargantuan,’ Apexus thought.

High up in the sky, he gazed out over the landscape. He was used to sprawling forests, green plains, and all manners of biomes by now. What he wasn’t quite used to was the sheer scale of sameness in this one. Even high up as he was, high enough that he had to burn additional biomass to keep generating heat against the chilling winds, all he saw was the same green, half-tamed farmland. Towards the south, there was...

The Gamer Chapter 1683 – Chase for the Cure 1 – Discovery 

Two days later.

“I knew it, I knew it, I knew it!”

Momo stormed into the room, grabbing everyone’s attention. She dashed straight past Undine and Siena, in the middle of their chess game, and to the biggest table around. There, she put down a folder of notes and started tossing things on the table.

A more obvious sign to gather, there could not have been. “Something new?” Metra asked.

“Something good, I hope,” Ehtra growled.

“Yes!” Momo s...

Drip-Fed – A Rivalry 3 – Tavern Brawl

The fist connected. Atlas’ speed was more than Apexus had anticipated. Even if he had seen the attack coming, he would have found it hard to dodge. Everyone around was treated to the absolutely absurd sight of a Warrior’s uppercut slamming straight into the underside of a man’s chin and that man standing.

95% of humanoid species would have had their brain rattled by the impact. The other 5% would have at least felt their optical nerves shaken. Apexus just felt ...

Drip-Fed – A Rivalry 2 – A difference in Philosophy

Thundering song echoed from the Adventurer’s Guild.

Mugs were slammed on tables, creating a beat that nearly drowned out the lute it was supposed to support. Under the guidance of a Bard, a blonde half-elf seated on top of a table, nearly the entire tavern sang along.

“And when adventure calls, where do ya go?

To the place where ale flows!

To the Guild! To the Guild!”

The few that were out of the song were busy pouring drinks down their ...

The Gamer Chapter 1682 – The Selfish Researchers

John entered the room they kept Fianna in. It was one the nicer segments of the airplane, although its original ornate state was compromised by the moved furniture. Much of the plane’s furnishing was bolted down to stay put in case of a sudden plunge or similar unforeseen change in momentum. Consequently, they had to unscrew a lot of heavy nuts and bolts to take what was in the way and make room for the sickbed plus table that they had put together using elemental-grown ...

Drip-Fed - A Rivalry 1 – A long time to Wander

“It’s been too fucking long,” Reysha groaned. “Can something, please, fucking happen?”

“I would advise against such requests. Unexpected events on the Branches are typically the cause of death by Parasyte,” Aclysia stated, her even voice compromised for a moment when she spoke the name of the accursed ticks that skittered the radiant bark they all trod upon.

“She’s right that it has been forever though…,” Korith weighed in. “…are we go...

The Gamer Chapter 1681 – Black Teeth [Aclysia POV]

Getting back to Merida by night had been easy. A cab called, a cab paid an extraordinary sum for the trouble. Just like that, they were back in the city. Abyssal connections had been pulled so Claire could smoothly extract Fianna from the hospital and then be driven back with her to where they had parked the airplane.

Claire, in the disguise of a middle-aged woman, had entered the hospital. Nia had disappeared to somewhere. That left Aclysia alone, standing outside o...

The Gamer Chapter 1680 – Tathnuachan

Two days of searching later, they found Tathnuachan.

They had been following the strategy and kept following the grid as mapped onto their search area. Still, they were surprised when the pinging Barrier Sense brought them not to some isolated tribe or Abyssal retreat, but to the actual settlement they had been searching for.

Momo was sparkling. Literally, her inexplicable (even by magical standards) reality bending fae BS caused the air around her to glitter a...

The Gamer Chapter 1679 – Anger and Mythology

“You are aware we are equals?”

“On paper!” the Gamer shouted at the Horned Rat. “You expect me to believe that you don’t have any control over your fellow Triumvirate members, Suel?!”

The god on the other end of the line laughed in its two-toned voice, deep and squeaky simultaneously. “If Suel was one of my alter egos, you really think that would make me trip up?”

“I hate you,” John hissed into the phone. “Why are the Illuminati he...
