Creating the three world spirits was not a difficult task, since I had experience from my first attempt. However, the end result turned out somewhat surprising. When creating the complete world spirits, I was unable to completely determine how they would appear. For instance, the world spirit of Desbar, which I created first. I had attempted to create it as …

It was a few hours later when Leowynn had finally finished visiting with everyone. In her current state, Irena had said that it was difficult for her to properly examine Leowynn’s spirit. This was fairly normal, since in the Admin Room she was being fueled with energy a bit differently than normal. However, once we descended again Irena said that …

I deployed my world sight as the ninja sat up, curious about the changes that had taken place within him. As expected, there were traces of natural energy merging with his spirit at a visible rate, slowly spreading through his body. After a few moments, he spoke, his voice dry. “Lars… report.” There was a rush of movement behind us, …

My trip to the slums this time began much as it did in Suram. At first the community leader, an elderly felyn woman, short and haggard by the name of Lynda, was untrusting of me. She thought that I was in it for some kind of profit or scheme. Unfortunately, unlike Jaren she was not a Priestess of Irena. Without …

After sending Tsubaki off on her mission, I returned back to the role of Dale, the traveling healer. My absence was only a few hours, as I had not fast forwarded at all while I was gone, so it would still not seem suspicious. “Did you hear it too?” I heard someone asking on the streets, conversation bustling about the …

Rather than ascending to the Admin Room, I waited in the skies of Fyor, above the site where the gate was going to be installed. There was a reason why I had chosen the fifteenth floor for the location of the gate, rather than the earlier floors. Several, really. First, the environment would make it a challenge that could help …

With a flash of blue light, I descended to the fifteenth floor of Fyor. I couldn’t help but smile when I opened up my character window, seeing that the power levels of Fyor were becoming noticeably closer to those of Earth. If I kept waiting much longer, Fyor itself might start to qualify for the games before too much longer. …

Seeing everyone’s faces lighting up when I made my announcement practically made these six days worthwhile. Even though I had worked so long to cure Roy of his condition, I only managed to get one level in the Saint of Five Lights. Is it just that much harder to level up through basic training? My training up to this point had …

Jaren quickly went through the different alleyways, navigating to the different hovels and worn-down houses. Each time, he knocked on the wall, calling inside. “Come out, come out! There’s someone here to help us.” The excitement was clear in his voice, causing those inside to wonder what was happening. He had been an important figure in their community for so …

“So, you’ve just been working as a shopkeeper?” I asked, once more checking the surroundings to make sure that nobody would be eavesdropping on us. “Expected you to have some grand goal in mind if you were planning to be a mortal for a while.” Irena’s incarnation shook her head, leaning forward against the counter. “No, I like to live …
