chapter 357: the dragon’s dilemma

So, what is your plan, father? Leowynn asked as the two of us walked out of the citadel’s front gates. Are  you really going to try to negotiate with the dragon, first? I chuckled lightly at that, nodding my head. Well, I’ll try… no matter how intelligent of a creature it is, it hasn’t had any contact with a language since its birth. …

chapter 356: expansion

When the video finished, showing the fight that had occured with the Mad King, people felt… disappointed. As if they had been built up for so much, with so many possibilities, only to have it all crash down in front of them. This was true both for the viewers, and for Legion as well. Their victory felt hollow. After all …

chapter 355: shadows lurk

It had been eight hours since the forces of Legion had made their way to the Mad King’s palace. They had been utterly defeated by the man’s mere presence, without even being able to see his face. But they did not give up. They still had tricks up their sleeves. Thankfully, the Mad King at least seemed to be a …

chapter 354: fated soul

It didn’t take long for me to get a resounding yes from Aurivy after I had the two of them relay my question to her. She was all too happy to play the role of the ‘big bad’. Seeing her getting pumped up, and working on her skill profile to play the part brought a small smile to my face …

chapter 353: breaking news

After running a quick check on Lorek, I decided to follow through on my little tease to Accalia, and turned my sight towards Desbar. I wanted to take a look at the dragon myself, see just how similar it was to the one that I had fought. And what I found was… worrying, to say the least. Not because she …

chapter 352: shattered hopes

With the battle over, I appeared back on my bed within the Admin Room. Nothing had particularly changed, aside from a shocked look on Accalia’s face. “Wha… you… you became me.” I couldn’t help but grin when I saw her eyes wide in disbelief. “It’s a technique I came up with for my divinity, the Mirrored Self. The idea behind it …

chapter 351: the chosen path

I opened my eyes to see the familiar bedroom that I had left behind for several months. This was only the second time that I had spent so long away from ‘home’, but honestly… it didn’t feel as bad this time. I wasn’t stuck in an uncomfortable environment, forced to act in a certain way to keep up appearances. Instead, …

chapter 350: the slumbering beast

The city of Xanjafar seemed to spring to life. The NPCs that had been largely unresponsive to the actions of the players now carried fierce expressions. The city’s blacksmith shops could be heard working night and day, pumping out new weapons and armor that were immediately equipped by the various residents and guards. At first, many players had hoped to …

chapter 349: prelude to war

“Well… that wasn’t how I had hoped this would go.” Jessex said with a groan as we walked through the forest, back towards town. “All that, and he was actually already dead? And… that blood debt…” A dark shadow was cast over her face as she recalled Jinx’s parting words. “I can’t believe they even included something like that in …

chapter 348: jinxed it

Beholder was surprisingly easy to work with, given how much the members of Life’s Dream seemed to be wary of him. It was pretty easy to guess that he was the leader of Beholden, the group that Udona had been so worried about. Still, thankfully he didn’t seem to harbor any ill will just yet. And if he planned to …
