Chapter 125
David ran as fast as his powerful, long legs could carry him, which was pretty fucking fast after his recent power-up. He was now able to utilize more of both his own physical strength and his magical power without destroying his body in the process, allowing him to prowl through the underbrush of the forest...

“I finally took the time to examine the strange trees you asked me to study,” Johanne said, looking up from her tablet. “Indeed, it was as you say. They are developing rudimentary mana systems. They possess similarities to the Fae networks, although there are differences.”

A sense of urgency overtook Michael. Seeing that Old Dave was gone, he immediately started to wonder why the man had left in such a hurry without telling him anything, especially with the time dilation of the second floor. Worried, he took out his phone to check for news and the current time dilation factor ...

The icy claw descended towards Michael. It was certain death, and he knew it. Still, he stared at the monster in hatred and defiance, refusing to acknowledge that this was the end.
Suddenly, the monster shuddered. For a moment, Michael thought he had done something, but then he saw a stone-covered hand...

A deafening roar pierced Michael’s ears before the monster swiped down with a gigantic claw made of ice. Michael defended himself with his body, deflecting the limb away from the sitting form of Old Dave, who was meditating in the center of the room.
It was hard to pin down the monster’s exact shap...

“To reach Silver, you need Qi in your aura. You can’t not have it, although you can obtain it in many different ways,” Michael explained as Old Dave nodded along. “If you can’t do it with your own strength, you can use an item, external help, a moment of enlightenment, whatever. The i...

Old Dave sat cross-legged on the bare stone that made up the part of the Valley where the golems dwelled. The place was rich in many elemental veins, ranging from Stone to Metal, with hints of more specialized elements like Earth, Silicon, Carbon, Sand, Bedrock, Iron, and a myriad of others. They didn’t ma...

“Do you want to do things the proper way or the easy way?” Michael asked as he and Old Dave obliterated monster after monster on the first floor of the dungeon.
“Do you even need to ask? Who do you take me for?” the old man retorted, his movements impossible for his age. Of course, Michael knew...

Bonus Chapter – David D. Chestermill
Some time earlier.
David slowly rose from his chair, feeling his back crack and pop after sitting for so long. He had been reading the reports and documents that Travis Tyrell so graciously allowed him to peruse, for it felt like the younger man was doing him a favor...

It took a while for Johanne to compose herself. Afterward, she sat by the kitchen table. They were in Michael’s tree house, and the seat was just a wooden stump that looked like it had been grown from the tree itself, as was most of the wood that made up the furniture of the house. Yet, it was surprisingly...

Michael and Stephan looked at each other as they stood at the beginning of the dungeon’s fourth floor. Before them, mountains soared toward the sky like skinny fingers covered in snow, while in the distance, larger mountains made a crown that imprisoned the valley within its cold embrace. With his keen eye...

The aura didn't flatten Michael to the floor, nor did it make walking impossible. Michael’s own power was more than enough to counter its effects—although not completely—but at least to the point where he felt like he was walking against a strong wind and not stuck in place by a force he could not over...

Hidden beneath layers of stubborn frost, ice so thick and compressed it was almost electric blue, lay the stone of the forges. The forges, as the name suggested, were numerous rooms where the dwarves of old used to work their metals, shaping them into marvels of engineering and magic. At least, Michael thoug...

When they were done clearing the last room, Michael simply looked at the threshold leading to the boss chamber and sighed.<...

As Michael and Stephan crossed the threshold, they were catapulted into the dark and foreboding space of the dungeon. The Time element was abundant here, clearly visible to Michael, hinting at a strong time dilation. He mentioned as much to Stephan, who already knew. He was surprised to learn, however, that ...

Johanne had an idea. Michael had been rather irritated with what had happened to him in the dungeon and was looking quite irritable still. So, she thought, perhaps she could work on some of the things he had asked her to do in passing but never got done, to soothe his mind. She was after all, Silver-rank now...

Michael was lounging on a reclining chair with his sister, watching the stars, when he got a message. It was from Travis, informing him that it was time they studied the chest anomaly the OA wanted them to neutralize. They were organizing the teams and the scientists, ready to move out first thing tomorrow.
