I reach Min-Jae just as he catches up to a smaller group of people. This time, I also hide my mana and watch from a distance.
Not hearing what they say, I can only guess, but it's not that difficult. The people he confronts seem to be from Hard difficulty and some of the ones who challenged his Avatar just a few moments...
2024-05-21 07:41:19 +0000 UTC View PostDuring the next few hours, while watching the challenges, me and Tacita play a game.
Sitting on the chimney, she doesn't move from the spot and instead her barrier, skill, trait, or whatever it is, keeps changing. She does it in quick succession after examining the way I detect her.
Sometimes it takes me only a fe...
2024-05-20 08:09:34 +0000 UTC View PostMy Avatar does what I thought he would do against a lot of opponents he wouldn't be able to face head-on.
He just flies high up.
Yup, it's that simple, yet it still gives him a huge advantage.
It's as if you introduce a helicopter with machine guns and a bomb or two to the conflict against a bunch of people ...
2024-05-16 17:27:52 +0000 UTC View PostSitting on the roof, I observe the group of poor guys who thought it was a good idea to challenge Lily's avatar.
Lily decided to go with 4th floor restriction only, and it's fun to watch as she tears through men that are probably thrice her weight and twice her size. She does it all in a similar style to how she fought ...
2024-05-15 21:18:57 +0000 UTC View PostIn the next few hours, there are three more challenges.
One of them is against little Isabella. A group of people from all three difficulties, around 60 people in total, most of them from Hard.
They enter expecting to win against the kid, but get welcomed by unrestricted Isabella.
Within seconds, blue flames...
2024-05-15 08:03:42 +0000 UTC View PostIt's here! Book 1 is live on Amazon. The ebook is 150k words, 685 Amazon pages. The audiobook is over 18 hours, narrated by Henry Kramer. It's so damn weird hearing someone read the book I wrote, but it's nice at the same time!
So here I am, about to beg! Shamelessly and not even trying to hide it.

2024-05-14 14:25:22 +0000 UTC View PostIt really looks like a fun event. Seeing that many people all around, some of them sitting on the grass in groups as if on a picnic, others on benches that are all around, some from terraces of houses further behind.
The four screens are big enough to see what's happening from far away.
Even though it's just a bit...
2024-05-14 07:59:05 +0000 UTC View PostFor a short moment, I bask in the gazes of the people, but when Brainiac comes rushing, screaming where the hell I have so many shards from, I teleport away.
I appreciate [Tether] more and more, the way it allows me to avoid people is amazing.
Though the [Connection] twi...
2024-05-13 08:02:43 +0000 UTC View PostBeing told to fuck off, we leave the place. It's the nicest way someone ever told me to fuck off, and I realize what's happening only when we are already outside, our shoes thrown out.
HOW! How is she not enamored by the chance to examine an arcane weapon? Just show me the goddamn robotic arm!
"Maya, I'm annoyed,"...
2024-05-12 07:46:52 +0000 UTC View PostTeleporting back after the auction ends, I check the result and receive just over three thousand shards for the five items. The tournament shop has already covered the entire rent for the house and workshop, and a few days still remain.
It's not as good as looting Veil Ignition Station, but it's good enough to make me a...
2024-05-09 08:09:36 +0000 UTC View Post"Are you sure?" I ask Tess, my curiosity growing even bigger. I want to see how she will act and deal with it.
"Yes," she says simply.
"Do you have the right to decide that?" I don't even care what will happen to the guy. I'm just curious what the blonde young woman in front of me thinks.
"Who cares if I hav...

Even Biscuit floats around, sniffing the people. Some of them seem to be terrified; I guess they saw him during the events. Now that ...
2024-05-07 08:23:03 +0000 UTC View PostIn the living room, Tess, Sophie, Gareth, his right-hand Adam, Samuel, and I all sit together. The silence is somewhat awkward, but I'm enjoying it.
Everyone else is outside doing their things and having fun, but I'm here helping Tess. Well, that and I'm also curious about what silly things they are here to say.

2024-05-06 08:08:30 +0000 UTC View PostHoly hell, that felt satisfying and surprisingly easy. Sure, I would probably die if I did that out of the tournament, but it's totally fine. Sooner or later, I will get to the point where I will be able to do this kind of stuff freely.
The amount of black mana I used to keep my body from breaking apart as I channeled a...
2024-05-05 08:14:27 +0000 UTC View PostLanding on the balcony, I encounter very few people. Everyone from the tutorial is already fighting down there, and explosions can be heard even up here, as well as the ground shaking. The vibrations make dust fall from the ceiling.
Inside, I meet only a few guards, only the bare minimum, and some humans dressed like wo...
2024-05-02 08:15:45 +0000 UTC View PostAt some point, Tacita lets go of my legs and lands nimbly like a cat, running somewhere else already with her incredible speed.
I look at Noodle, who is still coiled around my arm, "Why aren't you that big?" I gesture at the giant lizard. Noodle seems to understand and flickers his tongue a few times instead of answerin...
2024-05-01 08:07:46 +0000 UTC View PostI just wave at Tess and leave the wall, heading to the part where the barrier is powered.
There I grab one of the natives by the shoulders, “Soldier! I have noticed that this part of the wall and defense is damaged. You are an inscriber here to make sure it works smoothly, right? Explain the process to me so I can rel...

The finally finished cover for Book 3 :)
As you can see, we have our MC on it, and there is even his minion Nathaniel Gwyn, the secondary MC.
On the cover, you can see Nathaniel's trait - Mana Wavelength Iris. The sword on his waist is an ethercrystal shortsword, so you can tell it's from sometime during the 4th f...
2024-04-29 07:56:27 +0000 UTC View PostUnlike the 1st event, we could bring our items to this one. For me, it was a voidsteel blade, the damaged arcane axe, and some smaller ones. The axe's performance can't compare to the glove Savant used, and I'm jealous.
Savant was restricted and, in my opinion, had pathetic mana reserves. Yet the glove still did such im...
2024-04-29 07:45:34 +0000 UTC View PostWhen I return, thirty minutes remain until the attack,I spot Tess next to group 4; everyone else is gone.
As I land near her, she seems tired. So, even the extrovert class can take damage from prolonged exposure to other extroverts leech aura.
“Don't look at me like that, Nat, it pisses me off. I swear some peop...
2024-04-28 08:23:11 +0000 UTC View PostFor a moment I look at her and Maya seems to be serious. Tess probably wants to cement Group 4’s force in the minds of everyone here, no matter if from Beyond, Hell, or other difficulties.
Making sure the barrier around us is up, I note, “I would be showing my hand before the duels. Tacita, Savant, and Gareth would ...

After 5 hours, the attack will start. The attack itself will take 5 hours with grad...

2024-04-23 07:52:30 +0000 UTC View Post[Perception] powered by black mana isn't that special, or at least not at my skill level. Unlike [Focus], I'm not that good at using that skill, so black mana makes it, well, perceive better. I still prefer my eye trait, but it's not terrible and could be used to improve my detection. 2024-04-22 08:25:36 +0000 UTC View Post
Congratulations, you have ended 2nd spot in the 1st event - Survival Domain and you have also reached 1st place in points collected - 441 pts.
You can exchange your points for shards. 1 point = 5 shards.
Rewards for the 2nd overall spot are 3 thousand shards.

With my eyes activated and black mana strengthening and pummeling my body, ...
2024-04-18 08:56:36 +0000 UTC View PostI have been thinking about it lately, and my build is a big mess, to say it gently. Sure, I have a lot of skills, but no matter how hard I try to master them all, it's impossible, and not often does each of the skills shine. They are all pretty situational and often countered by stronger or more skilled opponents.
Sure,...
2024-04-17 08:19:12 +0000 UTC View PostOut of every member of Hell difficulty or person that got into Beyond, there is one I have more respect for than for others. You can call it worry because of the sheer advantage that person holds over me.
I don't know Savant's skills yet, but it's not him. It isn't even Lily with her most powerful damage skill I've met ...
2024-04-16 08:09:52 +0000 UTC View PostWell, it seems that my buddy BenDover over here got to the 5th floor finally. He probably just started it so our statuses should be similar, maybe him having a slight advantage because of the rewards that he got at the 5th floor for clearing the 4th.
