Overpowered Wizard B2 Ch55: Research Spiders

Jokes aside, I think I’m missing something, Zarian thought, becoming more serious as they drew closer to deathly danger. I faced multiple challenges where warp energy was involved. It feels like there’s a lesson I’m supposed to learn, but I keep missing it. I bet Ruvaria is trying to teach me something in a very roundabout and brutal way, but I really can’t see what it is yet.

There were some missed opportunities to copy the High Warp Manipulation skill from th...

Overpowered Wizard B2 Ch54: Void Pit 2

The first major obstacle to fall to the void pit was the bloody trap spell. The void pit dismantled the ancient spell array and sucked it into its endless depths.

Then the void pit devoured the Chimera Ghouls waiting on the edges. The void pit inhaled the chimeras into its endless depths before they could escape.

The Giant Serpents were the next ones to fall to the void pit. Their massive physique and enhanced ability to maneuver over difficult terrain was no use against the hungr...

Overpowered Wizard B2 Ch53: Void Pit 1

Zarian could see how facing the monsters of the Infinita Star System would test an adventurer’s power, discipline, and adaptability. It was also a test of game design and balance under the veneer of philosophy and morality.

All monsters were evil except for special cases, which Zarian knew from having read a few bestiary books inside Reiki’s library.

Evil outnumbered good by a massive degree. That was why good aligned creatures and adventurers had power ups. The stereotypical ...

Overpowered Wizard B2 Ch52: Chimera Tyrant Lair 2

Zarian was almost tempted to bring in the full party after reading the expanded details. This was one hell of a lair crawl, and it connected to Corma’s lore. Ruvaria was already a terrifying figure of history, but apparently there was always more to learn. Had she left this orc alone on purpose? Or had the Star System interjected to use the orc as a new challenge?

Nonetheless, Zarian figured Naomi wanted this lair mostly for herself since the others had already benefited from the figh...

Overpowered Wizard B2 Ch51: Chimera Tyrant Lair 1

Before Zarian exited the void to reach his destination, he noticed something was weird on the other side. The journey was already a long one, having required multiple stops in and out of the void up to this point, but he hadn’t felt something this troubling before.

Zarian’s excitement turned into sharpened wariness. Free evil +4  merged with his paranoia. He exited the void and dropped into a baseball slide, landing on his back as the sharp crimson grass of the Blood Prairies f...

Overpowered Wizard B2 Ch50: Adventure Outfits

Once they were far enough away from the village, it was easier for Zarian and his fellow Floridians to ignore the plight of the poor kiddos. They also ignored the growing rampage of an introverted elf monster being out in public among a bunch of weak normies.

Hannah parked the rune cart on the side of the road and opened up the back. Loner held watch while everyone changed into their latest adventure outfits.

Zarian slipped into a new pair of trousers and boots, which were all bla...

Overpowered Wizard B2 Ch49: Later, Gators

Looking at the brain station of Ride-or-Die Village reminded Zarian why it was dangerous for engineers and scientists to get their hands on magic, especially when there was crafting involved.

When the doorway closed behind him, sealing away the bright light of the twin suns, Hannah’s lair looked like a proper place for an evil genius. It leaned more toward magic-futurism with dark blues, deep purples, and some aggressive reds that shone from her self-made equipment.

She had runi...

Travels and Hurricanes

Guys, I'm leaving Europe and going back home to Miami. Well, maybe, it all depends on if the airport will let my airplane fly to Florida when we have a Category 5 hurricane barreling down at us. Maybe it will, maybe it won't. But it looks like Miami and the rest of South Florida might come out alright.

However, if you are from Central Florida or if you know anyone from Central Florida, please keep in mind that this Cat 5 is pretty damn big and its barreling from a direction that's unusu...

Overpowered Wizard B2 Ch48: Willful Mini Game

Floating in the sky above Ride-or-Die Village, Zarian ended his cultivation and sealed away his Overwhelming Darkness. He would return to cultivating once they left the village.

He still maintained the dark seal patterns on his arms. They were for the safety of everyone in the universe and beyond.

They also looked badass, like a pair of complicated and esoteric full-sleeve tattoos. He also felt warm looking at them, thinking back to how Ruvaria improved upon his sealing style.

Overpowered Wizard B2 Ch47: Time Chamber 2

“What’s next?” Zarian asked.

“You will learn to fly using Aura Mastery,” she said. “Then we will go over how to apply Aura Mastery competently to all of your traits for unique results. I will leave you to self-discover the limits of your skills under Aura Mastery, though you will most likely find you have become much better at what you do already.”

Ruvaria flipped around in the air casually like she was a zero-g astronaut as she continued speaking.

“Last, I w...

Overpowered Wizard B2 Ch46: Time Chamber 1

Zarian was on hands and knees in front of the shining moat, his shoulders squeezed between two large mushroom caps. He was trying to see how much he’d changed with his own eyes first, but the water glowed with a bright pearly light.

It was an unsuitable replacement for a mirror.

His dear teacher, Empress Ruvaria, daintily skipped from mushroom cap to mushroom cap. She took a seat on a cap beside him, stretched out one leg, and tapped the shining water’s surface with her foot.<...

Overpowered Wizard B2 Ch45: Aura Master

Ruvaria let out a long sigh. “I think out of everyone in this universe, you may judge me as harshly as you want. This dungeon, this boss, is one of my greatest regrets. I needed you to see it. So you can understand that Para’s right, I am quite terrible.”

“Mm, sure, maybe.” Zarian could throw a few pebbles. But he didn’t cast any large stones from his glass castle.

The empress lowered down from the air. She landed on her bare soles, her toes wiggling into the loamy and...

Overpowered Wizard B2 Ch44: Found You

“I think that should do it,” Zarian said, shutting the grimoire with an echoing thunk, the spectral chains rattling.

“I’m hungry,” Para said, this time speaking from Zarian’s stomach. She had formed a wide, sharp-tooth mouth there.

Zarian blinked down at the mouth on his stomach. “Huh, that’s honestly one of the freakiest flesh transmutations I’ve seen from you. I guess we should feed the beast.”

“I thought you would find this impressive,” Para said t...

Overpowered Wizard B2 Ch43: Dimensional Traps

Zarian was surprised. The heavy gushing water rushing at him from the opposite end of the hallway looked powerful enough to sweep him off his feet.

Then Zarian felt a bonfire of ambitious hunger blazing from the middle of his parasitic core. He was unwilling to run away.

Fuck it, let’s ball, Zarian thought.

Para matched his enthusiasm as they switched approaches on the fly.

Zarian cast Void Authority with a section of his mind spiraling with a flash memory o...

Overpowered Wizard B2 Ch42: Hide and Seek

Zarian stepped into Ruvaria’s room and felt a complex shift between dimensions. He reacted a split second too late and transitioned to a different realm of reality.

His heart hammered in his chest. Adrenaline filled his veins. His body became hot, hungry, and ready for a fight.

His cloak snapped out and sprouted dozens of deadly limbs. Zarian prepared to hand-sign and chant for One Percent Power.

He looked around and saw he was in an old stone hallway. Ancient roots dangle...

Writing By Phone Gets Old

If you haven't noticed, the past week of chapters or so have differed a little compared to past chapters. That's because I've been forced to write by phone when I left behind my laptop charger by accident in Bulgaria while on a side quest to Germany to see Oktoberfest.

It took a while for my charger to get to me (and my god, DHL is a freaking pain in the ass and so are German trains for some reason). So for the past week I had to write chapters by phone, then quickly edit them on the la...

Overpowered Wizard B2 Ch41: Shadowfell Temple

Lord Zarian and Princess Bianca stepped out from the shadows of an alley as the setting suns reached the end of their arc. The shadows were especially dark around the pair with the shade turning deeper and the light phasing out to create more darkness.

The effect was ghoulish, haunting, and eerily enchanting. Both Zarian and Bianca looked like the most magical beings who walked out of the darkest pages of fabled myth, at least compared to everyone else.

The crowd of striders stirr...

Overpowered Wizard B2 Ch40: Dragon Blood

Zarian was standing in the ground floor lobby of the Central Library Artillery Tower.

Looking around, he saw the floor and gilded furnishings were waxed and polished to a shiny mirror-like finish. The windows were big, thick, and spotless, letting in the unfiltered light of the twin suns on a cloudless, blue-sky day. The doorways were framed by the hardest high-quality material Hannah and her golems had dug up from below, which was great for showing off to any visitor who thought themse...

Overpowered Wizard B2 Ch39: Skill Combiner

With everyone else occupied, Zarian opened his achievements.

Let’s see what we got.

<Achievements opened!>

<Attrition Warfare (Legendary): Normally, this would’ve been a lower quality achievement. But you held your own against a World Boss that has the stats and abilities for outlasting most foes. And you did it physically and magically! Here’s a nifty item for when you need a quick pick-me-up: Lesser Star Shard Flask!> 2024-09-27 10:52:38 +0000 UTC View Post
