After logging out of vision Expanse, I moved over towards the computer. I had to admit, a small part of me was hoping that the reaction of Udona’s guild members wouldn’t be so extreme. I had expected it, but at the same time, they had accepted Udona’s identity previously without much fuss. When I pulled up the news online, I …

Under the cover of night, Yaksha of the Shadow Council made his move. He had two targets listed for him to assassinate among the magisters, and their defenses had already been fully decoded. There was nothing left for them to prepare. Tonight, the leaders of Dawn would fall. His body seemed to blend with the shadows. He saw his target, …

Resting within the treetops, Tsubaki closed her eyes in focus. She was waiting, getting ready for her ‘final test’. Beneath her, she could hear footsteps across the dirt road. She had to listen closely to make out the patterns of the steps. If they were a player, there would often be a slight disorder to their rhythm. However, an NPC …

I watched the meeting between the Shadow Council, using another mirror that I summoned with my divine power. I knew that it was extremely difficult for these mirrors to be sensed, unless it was someone as familiar with divine energy as Tsubaki was, so I was not worried about being discovered. Rather, I was using this as a test of …

Watching Terra get up from the computer and wander out of the room, I noticed that she left the screen up to what she was looking at. Alright, alright… I know how to take a hint. Pulling myself out of bed, I moved over to the computer, reviewing what had just happened in that area. Once I saw what the Council had …

Moments after I saw the notification window about my new achievement, I felt the enchantments of the room I was in beginning to shake. Around the entrance, a small hole was torn open within the sealing barrier, and Leowynn rushed inside, panic on her face. “Father!” She had felt the pain that I had gone through within the Admin Room… …

A certain kitsune sat within a high tree, her eyes closed. She was dressed in nothing but rags, her bare skin easily visible beneath the tattered clothing. She was waiting, listening. Every sound that passed her area would be registered, and would become another target. He wants me to succeed. My trial cannot fail. It had been a week since Dale …

For the following few days, I took it easy within the Sky Citadel, allowing my soul to slowly recover. At the same time, I continued my normal training of my other skills, and kept an eye on Fafnir. After leaving him to his own devices, it seemed that he hollowed out another mountain to use as his base, once again …

Sadly, taming the dragon all at once was not enough to get me all the way to level one hundred as a monster tamer. Not even close, in fact. However, it did seem to be worth quite a lot, still. My level in that class increased all the way up to fifty in one go before stopping. By the time …

In order to handle this fight properly, I asked Leowynn to stay back with the others. I might realize that she could still be considered a part of my own power, but the same might not be said for the dragon. My goal wasn’t just to beat it here, it was to make it accept its loss. We both stood …
