Vibrant bit down hard on her prey and the System notification rang within her head a few moments later. Without pause, she flung the Biomass behind her and pressed forward whilst a silent throng of furious monsters swarmed in her wake. Her group was all around her, she could feel them now, ever since her latest evolution, sharing her strength. …

I spent the next two days training my Skills. In order to maximise my training speed, members of Granin’s triad came to assist me. Something I’d already noticed is that Skills train much faster in a combat situation. Field practice, so to speak. The System doesn’t seem to be too picky about what exactly counts as combat since I can …

[Still, one advantage you have over monsters of your tier is that you have a fairly capable basis for multiple thought threads, which is the optimal way to grind your mental Skills.] [That’s what I’ve been doing. At least lately. The idea was to advance my magic as fast as possible to try and unlock the Gravity Magic Affinity. I …

Hmmm… He… hehe…. Heheha…. Hoo… Ha!… Hahahahaha! MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAA!! Victory! Sweet, sweet victory has been secured! For the colony! For all of ant kind! I almost felt sorry for that stupid Rhino monster. I rate the monster as little more than a ridiculous concept. It was too slow when it mattered and unable to defend itself in so many situation. Hardly …

Anthony had been prepared to share a few things with Granin, even though he’d remained guarded throughout their conversation. The revelation of Gravity magic had been the most startling to him, something that had surprised Anthony quite a bit. When Granin had pressed him, he’d been happy to admit that this was a force that was quite commonly understood in …

Gravus wanted to retort at the idiocy being spilled from the seat next to him but things developed quickly in the combat grounds. The charge of the Rhinosergradon rapidly gained momentum and speed, smashing through the boulders in its way as if they were made of paper. He leaned back with satisfaction at the sight and couldn’t help musing out …

The combat grounds had been used by the Cult of the Worm to conduct field tests and training for prospective candidates for many years. It was a wide, circular field of loose sand and obstructing stones that had been created for this purpose. It wasn’t easy to operate this kind of facility under the nose of the Shaper’s circle, which …

Somewhat cynically, Granin noted that it was Biritite Cryslas, the fresh faced youngster who stepped forward to address the gathered Shapers. Presenting the face of change, the new way, as full of promise and youthful vigour. An innocent face atop the monster beneath. Granin couldn’t help but curse in his mind. Stuck here in the outpost he didn’t have any …

Granin Lazus looked around the room with thinly veiled contempt. He didn’t recognise most of the Cult members who were present. The new blood had flooded this outpost, filling it to the brim until the entire place stank of impatience, ignorance and disregard for tried and tested methods. All these Golgari, some of them with their true skin barely set, …
