The Gamer Chapter 1869 – New Era’s Mould 1 – Vectors [Multiple POVs]

“You good?” Clark asked, worry swinging in his voice. The other conversations at the table slowly came to a halt as they, one after another, noted what he had noted. Their mutual friend had turned pale – really pale. The kind of pale that no one healthy ever turned. “Hey? You hear me?”

“I…” John shivered head to toe. He was a pudgy man with an unfortunate figure: narrow shoulders and big gut. He had never been a looker, but with his cheeks so sunken, he looked bor...

The Gamer Chapter 1868 – The Rapid Return

John sat on the shore.

Killing the primordial Lorylim had not changed anything about Izha’s suppression. The Gamer was entirely certain that the nihilist had hidden away a second blotch of mass somewhere on the island that he was using as his relay. Finding it had been the challenge of the past day. They had not resolved it yet.

‘Wonder if I was goaded into fighting that precursor one…’ John thought to himself. Perhaps he had acted hastily. He was not immune to stre...

Drip-Fed – Answer Trap Finale – Serpent of Reason

The party progressed through the second ring of the Dungeon. It was appropriately challenging for them, Semi-Sphinxes and physical riddles blocking the path. Sometimes they would stop so Apexus and Aclysia could inspect another wall painting. Reysha and Korith had an eye on how long those stops were.

After several days, they found yet another bend in the road. A vast, open gate that would bring them deeper than the second ring. Apexus eagerly strut towards it, quicker than the others ma...

The Gamer Chapter 1867 – End and Angel [Lucifrena POV]

Lucifrena channelled the might of her soul into the aegis. The golden light rippled with every impact of the manifold tendrils. She clutched the symbol of HIS sacrifice tightly to her chest, as the barrage continued to find new angles to assail her and those she had sworn to herself to ward. “Support me as best you can,” that was the only request she could make, for she did not know how they fought.

“We will,” he who was blessed by her responded.

A deep nod of grati...

The Gamer Chapter 1866 – That Which Devoured the Precursor

John had Gnome construct a fortress.

It was not a good looking thing. In fact, most of it was invisible. The entrance jutted out between beach and jungle, leading into a large underground complex that had been filled with berry bushes that would survive for a few days in the lightless space. Much of it was there purely for the psychological benefit of the people. The simple truth of the matter was that, if the fight ever did get to them, the bunker would at best delay...

The Gamer Chapter 1865 – The Narrow Band of Fate [Layla POV]

Layla loved her life.

Layla loathed her life.

The duality of sensations pounding in her chest was more conflicting than ever. Oh, how joyful it was to be wanted by her sisters in bliss. How wonderful to know that she was finally out of the shadows and into the light of acknowledgment.

And how wretched the circumstances.

Layla kneeled on his bed. One of his beds, but his bed all the same. She was right next to him and on the other side of him was Lorelei. She had imagin...

The Gamer Chapter 1864 – The Gaping Maw

John checked his smartphone as he ran. The connection was dead, but the internal clock worked well enough still. “We’ve been away for three hours?” he said out loud. That didn’t sound right, but when following a voice through the dense jungle, time drifted by mercilessly. The position of the sun agreed with the reading.

They slowed down shortly before they reached the shoreline. John was not sure what they would find, but he did not want to incur Gaia’s Ire. Bad luck was the l...

The Gamer Chapter 1863 – Infection of Alien Familiarity

The descriptor ‘green hell’ was quite apt for many forests that John had been to before. Some of them had been described as such courtesy of what monsters the Abyss had spawned in it, others had been mundane and a hell simply because of the volume of the wildlife constantly fighting all around.

This jungle was neither.

Save for the noises created by their advance into the dense underbrush, John and Rave were subjected to absolute silence. “Let’s stop here for a seco...

Drip-Fed – Answer Trap 6 – Falling Deeper

The Omniverse had been twisted into an ouroboros. The crown of the great tree gnawed at the roots, the maw like a flower pierced by thorns. In the middle of the depiction was a star, made up of four overlapping leaves of the many branches that came from the bent trunk. Around it was a halo, similarly made from the leaves, and beyond it, a white void.

The depiction was detailed down to the veins on the leaves. Like the true Leaves of the Omniverse, so were the depictions of them l...

The Gamer Chapter 1862 – To Show the Options [Lorelei POV]

Her inability to foresee this filled the oracle with great shame.

Lorelei had scried as she always did before any big moves. While she had foreseen their separation into various planes, she had failed to identify the subtler signs for what they were. Now the temporary separation into different vehicles had come to a catastrophic point.

Only about half of the harem was back now. It had only been an hour since John had notified them of his state and many of the haremettes wer...

The Gamer Chapter 1861 – Descent

John had been in many dangerous situations in his life before and yet this one felt surreal. There were still the soft sounds of films playing over headphones and the chuckle of those that were reacting to whatever comedic bits there were. At the same time, he could hear the growing commotion in the seats on this side of the plane. Bit by bit, people realized what was happening and unrest turned to panic.

“This is your pilot speaking!” a forceful voice echoed over the speaker...

The Gamer Chapter 1860 – Season 3 Arc 13 Prologue – Airport Risks

“…Of course, stuff goes wrong when I plan it,” Rave complained.

John laughed at the comment. He had the intense urge to smack her ass for it, but alas, there were children present and so he did not.

They were ‘stranded’ at the Los Angeles airport. The vacation that Rave had insisted on had already been put together before John had ever heard of it. His harem knew he would agree to it and had thus not lost any time and with their money two weeks was plenty of time to get ...

The price adjustment is here

As announced previously, I will now be adjusting prices. As I understand it, as the billing period is now through, you should still have the rewards for this month.

If I got that the wrong way around, I will roll it back and redo it at the end of the month.

Drip-Fed – Answer Trap 5 – The Second Ring

“It is said that, when the Omniverse first began, there was a race of formless beings that devoured to claim new shapes.”

Aclysia translated the pictographs on the wall calmly. The singular phrase took up the entirety of the wall that greeted them at the bottom of the staircase.

“That’s it?” Reysha asked. “That’s everything we get? A rumour?”

“We are talking about darling’s origin here,” Aclysia responded, her voice even despite her own disappointment. ...

Drip-Fed – Answer Trap 4 – Temple of Temptation

Apexus looked at a small mountain of food.

It smelled delicious. There were clams and fruit and many meats, all raw, all unspoiled. The food was presented on a bowl a meter across, standing on a small pedestal in an otherwise empty room.

“That’s a trap,” Reysha commented.

“When did you change to Scout?” Korith drawled sarcastically. “How would you know that’s a trap?”

“...
