Cynthia Hill walked down the street of Deckan, her eyes roaming over the various sleek buildings. She had just finished the upgrade process for the three steps of perfection, and was now far more comfortable with her new form. Or rather, the entity that had hijacked her body was. The former head of research for the Geer Empire chuckled faintly, …

The changes to Chaotic Codex were met with mixed reception. For the more casual players that enjoyed living a fantasy life, free of worldly burdens, they were outraged that their time in the game was not being charged. Even though Ashley’s company released the fact that this was to encourage people to not forget about the real world, few people …

Lifre hacked away at the dense foliage around her with a machete that seemed to grow out from her arm. Her clothes had changed to a brown jacket over a tan shirt, brown pants, and a wide-brimmed hat. In her left hand, she held a bag that contained a single green gem. “Squirt said that she needed more of these, …

I sat at my desk, going over the reports that Sun delivered to me. These weren’t any major emergencies, but rather a summary of recent news that were deemed important for me to know. For instance, the discovery of a new floor of Fyor and its circumstances. This wasn’t the first floor to have an arctic theme, but it was …

After Lifre vanquished the mighty beast at the bottom of the pit, definitely how she told that story, she invited Aznod and the others to descend in their ship. The pit was more than large enough for the entire ship to land at the bottom. While waiting for them, she worried about how to deal with the issue of an …

She could feel her sword already starting to erode, and so dismissed it to prevent herself from losing her divine artifact. “Just you and me, huh?!” She asked with a manic laugh, not even trying to stop her descent. Her …

Aznod stood at the gate of the sixty-first floor of Fyor, a thick material covering his body similar to a hazmat suit. As he had helped find the material needed to allow them to survive on the sixty-first floor, Aznod had been invited to join an expedition after it had been determined that the initial area around the portal was …

Tsubaki spent the first half of the following day simply finding the materials that she would need to enact her plan. What she was looking for could be found in most hardware or sporting good stores, but she was confident that nobody among the survivors would be interested in these niche goods, as they would generally be counterproductive to the …

For the first few hours of the day, Tsubaki ran around, scouting the area and the nearby survivors. Unfortunately, there was no way to specifically identify the differences between a normal survivor and a Stalker, so she had to treat all of them as if they were Stalkers. She watched parties walking through the cities from distant rooftops, using a …

While Tsubaki was working on her latest trial, Dana was hard at work on her own project. Given the events of the most recent invasion, there was a serious need to increase both her own power and that of the world around her. For her own power, that was easy, and she already had her familiars working on that. The …
