I sat about halfway up the mountain that had the guardian up top, relaxing a bit to let my MP restore a bit. I’d gone on a mad killing spree shortly after nightfall yesterday, and it was currently almost noon. I’d been killing every monster with ease and was just running around the island looking for stuff to kill. This c...
2023-04-29 01:21:12 +0000 UTC View PostThe sun was starting to go down, painting the sky orange, beautifully reflected in the ocean. I took a few moments to appreciate the lovely view, before pulling up my new skill tree. This new addition to my arsenal had been tossed to the wayside because I was too fixated on the power boost I’d gotten from my new passive ski...
2023-04-24 23:02:06 +0000 UTC View PostWell, here we are. I assume you've read the new chapter and know what kind of place the fifth layer is, so in order not to spoil it, I won't say anything here in case you didn't.
We'll be spending significantly less time on this layer than we did on the fourth, but there's still gonna be a few scuffles. If you got anyth...
2023-04-20 22:22:07 +0000 UTC View PostThere we go, first chapter after the vacation. As expected, this chapter is a bit on the longer-ish side, when compared to the rest. Enjoy! :)
===================================================
The stone platform that served as my ticket to the next floor was racing down a stone shaft. I use...
2023-04-20 22:19:17 +0000 UTC View PostHey guys, my vacation is now (sadly) officially over. Which means, starting tomorrow, I will pick up the proverbial pen again to continue writing. I'm not entirely sure how long the first chapter in the new layer will be, but expect it to come out around thursday.
2023-04-17 16:31:06 +0000 UTC View PostSo uhhh... making that vacation post earlier made me feel kinda bad for some reason, so I got motivated and wrote the last bit of this chapter ^^ That being said, I AM still on vacation, so I won't be writing too much until Monday. I hope this chapter can tide you over until then :)
Hey guys, I'm currently on a week long vacation. I've been writing small bits and pieces of a new chapter, but the going has been slow. Mostly just enjoying my week off work :)
That said, I probably will finish a chapter by tomorrow.
2023-04-13 13:20:38 +0000 UTC View PostNext chapter might take a while to come out, since I need to do some planning before we descend to the next layer. Also, Patreon text editor still sucks.

Welcome to the Evolution Menu, traveler.

2023-04-06 23:32:21 +0000 UTC View PostYes, you heard that right, it's been 27 chapters since the last evolution. By far the longest time between evolutions. As I've said in the chapter post where Gary got his EX passive, I plan to speed things up a bit from now on. The fourth layer is essentially the halfway point of this saga, both in terms of storytelling, and ...
2023-04-06 02:29:07 +0000 UTC View PostI was racing through the open plains of the fourth layer, making sure to give other monsters a wide berth. I could probably easily dispatch all of them, but I’d learned my lesson about getting cocky. I couldn’t help but glance at my status every once in a while, having trouble believing that I’d gotten this strong.

I was sitting at the edge of the empty lake, the only node I discovered during my time on the fourth layer. For the past five hours, I’d observed the proceedings to see if anything had ch...
2023-04-01 02:30:08 +0000 UTC View PostChapter NINE ahead of RR. Once again, I'm sorry for how shite the Patreon text editor is, I tried my best to make the status look at least somewhat presentable.

I dodged to the right, barely avoiding being skewered by the antlers of a… rabbit.

2023-03-30 21:59:02 +0000 UTC View PostThe eighth chapter ahead of RR.
================================================
I stood at the edge of the island, looking down at the sprawling scenery of the fourth layer. It truly was quite beautiful with its undisturbed nature. All I’d known in my past life was the cement jungle, never...
2023-03-29 22:04:05 +0000 UTC View PostI snapped back to my body after the memory ended, once more seeing the mural that had been provided with context. And what a context it was!
The ancient civilization, Asphons, as they came to call themselves, had been laid to ruin by themselves. The people that had been transformed to look like monsters suddenly turned ...
2023-03-26 04:49:40 +0000 UTC View PostFalmus stumbled into the room, putting the barricades back into place behind him. After ensuring everything was as it should be, he collapsed against the wall, exhausted. His breath came rapidly as explosions and screaming could be heard through the closed and covered windows.
“Here, take this,” a hand appeared befo...
2023-03-21 04:31:53 +0000 UTC View PostIf you'd like to suggest a monster for Gary to fight at some point, you can leave a comment detailing it here. I can't guarantee that they show up soon, or at all, but if I like the idea and it fits the current layer/challenge requirements I'll implement them at some point.
I'll probably make one of these points wheneve...
2023-03-18 01:08:54 +0000 UTC View PostIt took me almost three days due to the fact that I was taking my time, frequently stopping to observe fights, but I was finally in the shadow of the next floating island. I’d hidden in some shrubs while I was waiting for my mana reserves to top themselves up and going through my status once again. I managed to take out a g...
2023-03-18 00:52:05 +0000 UTC View PostThis shall henceforth be known as the seventh chapter that Patreon is able to read ahead!
I also apologize once again for the piss poor editing capabilities that Patreon offers, I simply cannot make the system stuff look any better...

2023-03-17 01:25:43 +0000 UTC View PostMy consciousness snapped back to reality, the feeling a bit disorienting due to the sudden shift in perspective. I stared up at the mural, the context I’d gotten giving a whole new meaning to it. The mysterious figure at the top must have been Silas after his transformation.
I was certainly no expert, but I was relati...

2023-03-10 00:55:15 +0000 UTC View PostI emerged from the void portal into the open air, quite a bit above the floating island. My wings snapped out quickly, transforming my fall into a controlled glide. I used the opportunity to scout the island from above while checking for a good landing spot.
The island was quite a bit different than the last one. Instea...
2023-03-04 03:09:10 +0000 UTC View PostHeyo, I had to slow down a bit these days due to job reasons and other stuff, should be back on track now though. Also, this is now officially the sixth chapter that Patreon can read ahead.

I soared through the sky, enjoying my newfound ability to fly. S...
2023-03-03 01:46:39 +0000 UTC View PostI got twelve new attribute points from eating the monsters in my inventory and leaving ten of them for mana and health-restoring purposes. Due to the nature of gluttony, it was a slight increase across the board, but it was still a whopping 12 points, which was the equivalent of leveling up twelve times. The two points I got ...
2023-02-24 00:47:28 +0000 UTC View PostI’d spent quite some time staring at the murals in the tower, thinking about my situation. I had always had my suspicions that the system was messing with my brain somehow, but was that really true?
Ever since coming to this world, having to deal with me being a monster and fighting to survive, I’d just gone about d...
2023-02-19 03:52:45 +0000 UTC View PostI awoke next to the staircase and immediately felt weak. It had been pretty bad in the void, but now that I was back in my actual body, it just felt that extra bit more real. I shuddered at the odd feeling that felt like I was sick. I’d love to snuggle up in a comfortable bead, drink some chicken broth, and ride this out, b...

2023-02-15 04:35:44 +0000 UTC View PostAfter experiencing the memory of the past, I felt pretty tired. My current body didn’t need a lot of sleep and the need for it became less and less the more I evolved. Maybe it was a side effect of having a high constitution stat, or maybe it was tied to what kind of monster I was. Whichever the case, I had been active for ...
2023-02-15 04:32:14 +0000 UTC View PostKaimin peered through the bars of the cell at a mutated wolf. It was about thrice the size of what he was used to and at least ten times as aggressive. It snarled at him trying to murder him just by staring him down. It rushed at the bars, slamming against them with considerable force, but the bars didn’t budge. They were m...
2023-02-15 04:30:36 +0000 UTC View PostI looked up.
Far above me, casting a huge shadow was the floating island. Right now I could only see the jagged bottom that seemed to be made from a brown rock, but now that I was this close, I finally realized just how big the island actually was. It always looked smaller from far away but it probably spanned four or f...
