Congratulations on reaching the threshold of Third Class Evolution!

Eve stared at the message before a long soft sigh released the tension. The whirling paper storm around her settled down and was placed into her inventory. Eve shifted her Runic Paper Die back into a necklace and reworked her paper clothing into a comfortable non-combat outfit. A glance at her surroundings ensured there was nothing still alive. Felix had filled the entire Boss room with a once-living Tr...

As night slowly crept up on the world, Eve’s rocking chair finally stilled. Shadow leaped down from her lap and scampered into the shop. Getting up from her comfortable chair, Eve floated after him. In the back, with a large secondary wall of Kudzu’s vines, the house was attached to the shop, keeping it hidden from view. The few attempts to get past the living wall of vines were unsuccessful in the extreme.

Eve watched the front gate close itself as vines twisted it shut before she ...

Eve watched from the side in her rocking chair as three well-dressed individuals argued with Sara. Her eyes were closed, yet that hid nothing with the change to Celestial’s Five Senses. She petted one of the puppy pack leaders, Shadow, who watched the politics taking place a short distance away. The exponential growth of the village had resulted in some of the less savory elements of the Serpent Empire appearing over time in Glenwood. Rin and Ren had been placed in charge o...

Andrew said nervously, “Head Accountant Markus, the numbers do not lie. Glenwood has met their quota for the entire year without even the slightest loss. There is something wrong in that town!” As a new clerk at the Death and Taxes section of the Serpent Empire’s bureaucracy, he still was too junior to launch an investigation without informing his superior.

“Andrew, are you perhaps…insane?” Markus, head accountant for the area which coincided with his fixation, asked. The ol...

Eve was thrilled. The life of an elderly grandmother was utterly fulfilling. When she wanted to train, she trained. When she wanted to hunt, she hunted, at night admittedly, but still better than nothing. When she wanted to bask in the sun with a wolf puppy on her rocking chair, she could. When she watched a string of young men come in to buy potions, she enjoyed the discomfort her newly practiced gimlet gaze gave them.

It was fun thwacking the young men in the legs with her knobby, gna...

It had taken a bit of work to get the newest member of her family, but Eve had been willing to gamble as soon as she saw Sara’s incredibly delicate mana layers draped on her body. The amount of mana in use on the young lady and the precision of its application screamed competence.

If there was anything Eve wanted right now, it was someone competent to help fill the gaps in her knowledge of combat in this brave new world. While she didn’t think the wolves would steer her wrong, their...

Sara moved her body carefully in a specific rhythm designed to give the young man underneath no ability to resist. The target’s eyes were glued to her softly swaying breasts while the lower half of his body was massaged into ecstasy.

As his body’s muscles started to clench in a final push, Sara leaned down low without stopping her movements to whisper, “Good Boy.”

The target’s eyes rolled back into his head as his mouth relaxed in a grin, and in the moment of ut...

Ren sat on the fluffy bed that their hostess had provided. Both she and her sister Rin had been cleaned in the luxuriously large bath using their rescuer's scented soap.

The scented soap made their hair smell like wonderful flowers. It was much like what some of the women who ran the brothel training camp smelled like. After they had been cleaned, large fluffy towels were used to dry them off before the homeowner made them new clothing and told them to turn in for the night.

Eve took a sip of the latest concoction that Kudzu had created. It had the sharp tang of almost-orange juice combined with a soft blend of sugary spice. She looked out over the roof at the surrounding trees as they passed slowly by. Mornings had to be spent up here after breakfast because it gave her a nice slice of peace to enjoy. For her magical murder plant alchemist comrade, the relentless push from her to make miracles from her memory was endless. A slight shudder escaped her at the thou...

He watched from his perch as two new nestlings were added to the Nest. Quietly he shifted into the air-between-worlds moving quietly on silent wings as the large and small fanged ones herded them off. New arrivals were always interesting filled delicious things from the space-between-worlds.

He remembered the first attempt to prank, the one known as Slaughterwing. It hadn’t gone well, the feeling of paper wrapping around his body crushing the breath out of his lungs made his ...

Tell me what you would like to see please!

Exiting the Dungeon allowed Eve to witness a scene of partial devastation. Smoking craters were interspersed with massive swaths of rubble. Almost sixty percent of the town was either on fire, in pieces, or gone. On the other hand, the population was clearly sheltering behind a massive dome-shield of thick mana centered on the town hall.

Eve nodded at the sight. It was clear the emergency defensive drills that the secondary target she had questioned after S’velt had told her about kep...

4.3

Eve waited patiently as her targets exited their buildings, preparing for a new day. Alpha Strikes were designed to decapitate the enemy forces before they had a chance to understand or respond. To that end, she had targeted multiple people for early elimination. Their sacrifice would ensure that her plan of sparing the largest amount possible without leaving a solid trace of her presence turned into a viable outcome. In a world where higher levels meant more responsibility, the loss of such ...

Traveling towards the town marked on the Map the Pack had shown Eve was a study in caution. She couldn’t allow herself to be detected before arriving. To that end, Eve took care to scout the route between her current location and the Dungeon’s listed one.

Leaving from her house in the early morning, Eve spent several days charting a path towards the Dungeon’s last known location according to a century-old chart while searching for any trace of individuals from the town that should...

Shadow moved one paw forward, shifting the game piece on his side of the board, his eyes staring unwaveringly at the devious enemy directly across from him. The introduction of the board game known as Forest King by the two-leg Eve had allowed him to come into his full power. No longer was he limited to merely magic or physical power. Now his incredible mind could be put to full use defeating his enemies. Pieces were created to represent each of the forces that both sides commanded.

Eve stared at the map that had been placed in front of her view. She was hovering cross-legged at the circular table inside a room of her expanded house that was set aside for discussion with the Pack’s leadership. The forest she knew was apparently called the Endless Forest, a sub-dimensional plane constantly growing out from the enormous world.

Entering the Endless Forest took a great deal of effort, as the Forest Titans, what looked like mere trees to her, tended to resist invaders...

Eve toweled off from her nightly shower ritual. Kudzu had managed to create a sort of plant-pump hybrid fed into the water tank while cleaning it. She still used her inventory on the tank religiously to clean it as well, but so far, no sign of algae or anything like it had shown up in her shower. It actually felt as if the water was cleaner than from back on Earth.

Dinner had been a fun adventure of trying to cook as fast as the hungry army of fluffy doom’s maws could consume it. With...

Eve’s tests were basic to start; first, she lifted a paper dumbbell of one pound. Then ten, then twenty, then forty, each dumbbell doubled the weight. When she hit three hundred twenty pounds, the strain began to show, so she slowly increased weight in ten-pound increments at that point. Eventually, at three-fifty pounds, her body informed her that it was done trying to break limits.

So the Strength stat is five pounds per point. Eve thought. Next up is dexterity. 2021-01-13 01:43:24 +0000 UTC View Post

Ross Aitmurn was ripped out of his meditation by the brutal strike of a blow against his direct lineage. His soul shuddered under the attack, costing him precious time as he stabilized himself. Controlling the flames billowing in the room that aided him in gaining Experience in commanding them took several minutes. His body had been tempered in fire, yet these flames by their nature had the ability to injure him. Once everything settled into his control, his eyes glowed deep fiery red. Taking...

Kudzu quietly grabbed another fish that had come to check on his variation of the stupid bird trap. From what he had learned, stupidity wasn’t limited to birds. It was most prevalent in them, as evidenced by the Soul Sparrow attempting to bother his servants before teaching them how to use the Elements. Granted, he wasn’t a genius at it like Humming-That-Cuts, but he was more than enough to teach his mice.

Once his mice gained the Elements of Light, Dark, Fire, Water, Earth...

Eve stared at the list of things she wanted to test before glancing to the side at Album. The matronly older female had been interested when Eve had mentioned testing the limits of her power. A few examples of what light could do with mana involved had made her extremely impressed. Earth physics was good, in her opinion. She just wanted to gain some non-lethal options. With the knowledge that the System could enforce bargains, oaths, and contracts, Eve wanted to know if she could hav...

The male Giant Stone Bear lumbered with surprising speed directly at her. He was clearly unshakable in his belief in the strength of his stone fur armor. The hulking creature was a massive piece of work, from the thick armored fur to the brutal claws at each limb's end. Teeth the size of daggers snarled as he roared, speeding up into a charge.

Eve aimed calmly, her diamond shield-form dipping around the front to sever the bear’s left back leg. Moving away, she watched as confusion set...

Eve sat in a paper chair on top of the roof of her house. It was the only way to get a little quiet to herself. The puppies were very rambunctious individuals, and she had been forced to puppy-proof the house with paper. Had she not, it was likely elementally sharpened teeth would have left her technological marvels in pieces.

Staring out at the water, Eve was nervous. She could swim, anyone in military special secret squirrel squad training had to after all, but the large lake in her v...

Eve took a long hot shower after the interrogations were finished. She let the water run endlessly because she could clean it simply by storing it in her inventory and separating the filth from it. The dark red stains in her hair, and the speckles of blood along her body, made the water turn into a reddish-brown swirl before going into the drain.

It had been messy work at the end, even with the red pods. The last mage had been the hardest. He had been the only one to take a second red p...

The System is proud to inform the User that an Inventory granted as part of a First Contact Protocol is of the highest spatial tier. This allows the same items to be stacked infinitely into slots, yet at the same time limits the number of slots to (User Level/2). In short, no, tracking something within the User’s Inventory is almost impossible unless a Mythic Beast or Dragon were the ones attempting to do so. Even then, the User would feel the influx of power searching for them and ...
