Chapter 90 - I Feel I Must

Before everyone got up and got ready to move, I had another task to do.

It was time to remake my hammer.

I didn't get up any earlier than I usually did but that was still enough time to complete it before everyone else got up. My poor sleep schedule was thoroughly shot.

It was okay though, 19 more days and I could sleep all I wanted.

Remaking my hammer was similar to the last time I made it except I didn't have to make the haft. The wood took to the ice nicely and it a...

Chapter 89 - Move

I spent most of the night and the following morning thinking about it to no avail. Jonathan's warning that it didn't happen overnight was proving true. My Law came after a few hours of effort but forming a spirit anchor was proving difficult.

Plus, I had other things to worry about. The 25th wave was coming in a few days and we needed to be ready for it. There was still something I needed to discuss with everyone before that happened though. Something that I had kept hidden.

While...

Chapter 88 - Who I Am

Chris

With our arms full of what we could carry, we trekked back to camp. There wasn't much value in the camp but we took anything we deemed valuable.

For me, that was mostly gear and weapons. They weren't the best quality, especially after we had so carefully liberated them from their previous owners, but they could be melted down for material.

My pack raddled and clanked from the numerous weapons I was carrying while Austin's was b...

Chapter 87 - Slaughter

~~AN~~

The other half of the fight. This won't affect the chapter tomorrow and there will still be one at the normal time.

I couldn't let Austin have all the fun and standing still in the gateway wasn't the smartest spot on the battlefield to be.

After the initial surprise wore off, attacks began washing over me again, only this time with fewer numbers.

The defenders were split between attacking the spear-wielding light show or ...

Chapter 86 - Unrealized Strength

"That's a lot more than 100," Austin said from beside me in the bushes.

"No shit, Sherlock. I can count." I retorted.

We had arrived at the camp less than an hour ago and were taking the time to scout before attacking. I didn't trust Tracy's information fully. Plus scouting out the camp was good practice.

I wouldn't always have detailed reports like I did now, even if I didn't trust said reports. According to Tracy, the highest level here was level 35 and was the one in char...

Chapter 85 - First of Nine

My trip home was uneventful and I had time to look over all of the notifications from the previous day.

The number of points for conquering the fallen pylon wasn't small and all of the monsters that we had to fight to do that added up. I skipped over the two levels I received but that was only part of the reward.

The beasts themselves were walking bags of points. There were almost 500 hundred of the things surrounding the pylon. We fought half just getting to the center and the ot...

Chapter 84 - Growing Threat

"You have birds that you scout the area with and through them, you saw me running toward your camp aggressively?" I asked.

After realizing there was a miscommunication, I tried to figure out why they thought I would attack them. Finding out they had birds watching me as I rampaged through the forest was... unexpected.

I hadn't thought anyone would be watching me as I ran through the forest and knowing that someone had made me a little self-conscious. I hadn't exactly been the epit...

Chapter 83 - Wrong Foot

Chris

After running into the fortified camp, my thoughts raced to come up with an idea of what to do.

I had no idea who these people were and jumping to conclusions was the wrong thing to do. I needed to take my time and consider what I wanted to do.

All I was told was I would find answers to the South. That didn't mean I would find them here, there was still further south I could travel. Something told me that it was here though. A slight nu...

Chapter 82 - Encounter

~~AN~~

I don't know if anyone noticed, but I made a mistake last chapter. Chris should have run off to the east, not west. I have gone back and fixed it but I wanted to clarify that so you won't be confused.

~~

My frantic chase east was unsuccessful. Nothing I came across gave any indication of being the culprit. The pylons held by humans were too weak to pull it off and the monsters didn't show signs of anything abno...

Chapter 81 - Warpath

Chris

I journeyed east at a breakneck pace. My boost from [Momentum of the Avalanche] had finally peaked and I was moving the fastest I could. I left the terrain-altering effects behind and focused on traversing as much ground as possible.

I leaped my way east faster than I could truly keep up with the surroundings. I blew through trees and plants like a bull in a china shop. My boosted stats made running through trees only a slight deterr...

Chapter 80 - Hornet's Nest

Chris

"The fight was completely unnecessary! We should have left after seeing the boss. There is a wave tomorrow or did you forget?" My tone signaled how unhappy I was about the situation.

Killing all of the monsters the Wolf called with its howl was an annoyance at best, killing the boss was not.

It used its power expertly and out-leveled the two of us by over 6 levels. The experience it had gained from killing its fellow bosses made it a ni...

Chapter 79 - Field of Flames

~~AN~~

What, another extra chapter! I didn't want to leave you guys with too big of a cliff hanger so here you go.
I had a lot of fun writing this one and hopefully it lands well with you guys. The skills used should be intuitive but if anyone wants I can put a list with descriptions in the comments.

Enjoy!

The warriors were getting pushed back. Jonathan was t...

Chapter 78 - Spirit Anchor

Jonathan

The explosion rocked him back and some of his stone armor fell off from the force. Standing right next to the source of the blast wasn't the best position to be in.

Jonathan was doing his best to not let any of the monsters through and he hadn't expected them to blow up in his face.

Some of the other warriors were injured and bleeding which left him down some men. Thomas, Abigail's Dad, was on the ground bleeding from somewhere along...

Chapter 77 - Defense

~~AN~~

Watch out for an extra chapter tomorrow. I should post it at the regular time but it might be delayed.

(I might be a tad excited to finish my first book)

Craig had been watching the camp for a couple of days now and he finally got a decent chance to take it. It was one of the strongest camps he had come across with thick ...

Chapter 76 - Vunderbar

Getting to the pylon wasn't that hard. With the stat points we were working with a solid 2 hour jog was enough to get there and it didn't even wind us.

We were used to it by now and we got into it with gusto. The monsters were roaming about the pylon in different groups and started quite weak compared to what we were used to.

The waves spawned level 38 monsters for us to fight now and the ones in the outer ring were only level 30.

Austin and I both decided to ignore the math...

Chapter 75 - Possibilities

Chris

"This is how humans are able to assimilate bloodlines when others cannot."

What now?

I was just told that humans could turn into anything we wanted. What the actual fuck? There had to be something I was missing here.

"Now, there are limits. Full transformation isn't something that you can do, but it is still possible with extreme circumstances and only for a limited time." The alien added.

That worked to pour water ...

Chapter 74 - Adaptability

--AN--

Sorry for the delay, Patreon was being a bit finicky. In this chapter we have a little more world building before the end of the first book

~~

Chris

After getting the skill, I realized what time it was. While I was forging it felt like only a few minutes had passed but the sun betrayed that sentiment. It was in a markedly different position than it once was.

At least...

Chapter 73 - Rhythm Forging

Deep concentration marred my face and the only thing that mattered was the pounding of my hammer in the forge. I had been at this for a while and nothing had worked so far. It was mildly frustrating.

I was so focused I didn't hear the door open and someone enter into the forge. Nor did I feel it when a small high-pitched voice called out for my attention.

It took two small hands making physical contact with my back that broke me out of my thoughts while forging.

The unexpect...

Chapter 72 - Styles

Day 68

Our trip back to camp was somber but in better spirits than when we originally left. Austin had worked through some of his issues and I had increased in level twice.

I brought up an abbreviated version of my status sheet to review the changes.

Name: Christopher Zalenski

Race: (F) Human

Class: (F) Champion of Niflheim(Rare) – Level 39
