When I told Nuoda about the new skill that we had developed, she seemed even more eager for the key to the dungeon than Diane had been. I had to wonder if players were really that crazy about modifying their appearance. They already modified how their Chosen looked when they were first making the character, was there really a need …

After Diane looted the first of the true chests, Bella and I both went forward to loot it ourselves. However, after Bella opened the chest, there was nothing inside. Similarly, the chest was empty for me as well. Curious about this development, I signalled for Diane to wait before starting to work on the rest of the chests, sending a …

I called out to Bella and Diane, and the three of us drove off to the new dungeon. I didn’t bother to hide the car this time, instead letting the others see how we drove through the air. It wasn’t as necessary to hide as it was in the past, so I thought that this might be a good time …

As everyone was finding places to settle in, Ennolf finished a large feast. The meals were simple, easy to prepare in large quantities, but it was still food. And, more specifically, it was good food, prepared by an expert chef. While we ate, I learned about some of my new residents and their stories. The more I heard, the more …

“So, how did you get all of this set up already? It’s only been like three days since the patch hit.” Sarah said, looking around at the empty city. “I was there when Ennolf and Nuoda were setting up Fallowton, so I know there’s no instant building mechanic for city owners. Or is it different for new nations?” I shook …

As I took my time gathering the corpses of the monsters to appraise their value, I was able to properly assess their levels. I didn’t go out of my way to do this earlier, because I didn’t want to distract myself when I had to focus on outputting as much damage as I possibly could. Of the monsters, most were …

Congratulations! You have completed the Trials of the King. You may now name your claimed territory. The Territory Management menu is now open. Currently claimed territory: 1,256 square kilometers Currently claimed settlements: 1 Current population: 1 Currently unclaimed settlements: 1 As soon as the last monster died, this message appeared in front of me. At first, I was shocked by …

As I was expanding and reinforcing the walls, I received an urgent message from Bella, who had met up with Aetra. I just got done telling them what you said. We’ve got a problem! My eyes widened briefly, hastily typing back. Is there a super boss nearby? No, the villagers are strong enough to deal with any monsters in the …

“Elder Aetra.” The man that had shouted previously spoke in a respectful tone as the elderly figure approached us. “So, if ‘Player’ isn’t your race, just what are you?” She asked, curious. “You have neither tails, scales, nor the ears of beasts.” “I’m a halfblood.” I admitted freely. “A cross between an elf and an orc.” “I’m a halfling. It’s …

The days passed, and we quickly settled into our routine of training in the local area. The dungeon islands we decided to inhabit seemed to drift in a wide circle, so we never had to worry about coming close to any mainland. Of course, there were ships that sailed by now and then, but it was easy enough for us …
