. My doppelgänger let Ryuu respawn at the save point and run desperately to his death twice, before appearing in front of him on the third try. She had the same raiment and wings as when I first saw her. The wind was still blowing and the rain was still falling, although not with the same intensity as before. Ente-Agerak’s …

. Ryuu finally stayed alive longer than a quarter-hour on the ninth try. He managed it by leaping out of the nook and running with the wind along the cliff face. Using his [Strength Enhancement] skill, he would reach a higher ground that didn’t flood. He could then head away from the great cliffs and reach forested ground in which …

. Author’s note: Due to RL circumstances, I will not be posting again until March 29, so I will not be unlocking chapters either. Next unlock will be next Monday. ### Training simulations for a Servant are tricky, due to the Bond. The Servant and her Mistress have a connection that the scenario cannot simulate. The bond itself isn’t interrupted …

. “I could tell I wasn’t breathing,” Ryuu griped, once they were all awake and seated in the recovery room. Little Sen (new name yet to be determined) was no longer present when they woke, by the way. It was just myself and the trio. “Naturally,” I nodded. “You were dead, after all. Be thankful that being dead saved you …

. Somehow, I recovered my voice after covering for a few seconds by taking a sip of water. It was fortunate I hadn’t taken a drink before the visitor appeared, because I’m sure I would have done a spit-take. “Um… your appearance is somewhat… perplexing?” She grew an angelic smile and nodded. “It is quite understandable, Commander. May I sit?” …

. The dragon let out another gargantuan bellow and stamped its feet. A wave of intimidation spread across us and I watched three faces grow even paler. As for myself, I had already set up the same spiritual bubble that I had used against Áne’s magic. Against a spirit technique that sought to suppress the opponent’s ability to think, it …

. I stepped onto travertine paving stones as the temperature instantly dropped by several degrees and a wind that was slightly too strong to call light blew my hair. My clothing was a bit thin for that, so I immediately began circulating Light mana to ward off the chill. Glancing back at my companions, I saw the gawking expressions that …

. Midway up the hillside between the bridge and the arena stood a long jade building with a colonnaded portico at each end. A wide cupola that looked a bit like a turtle shell rose from the center of its flat roof. “This is your ‘art gallery’?” Dilorè asked as we entered into a grand hallway, wide enough that I …

. I woke in the morning to find Little Jia snuggled up to me in my futon. This might have been questionable, but she was in her pupper form, with two out of four paws in the air and her little head laying on my chest. Jia is actually a very complex being. Parts of her consciousness never sleep, and …

. Senhion, despite all the grand architecture scattered throughout this small world, had kept only a little cottage, half-sunken into the hillside, for her own residence. Her reason was simple; she rarely stayed overnight in this place. She had stayed in the sea for the majority of her time on Huade, and in various land residences later, and at the …
