Sage was here to do two things. First, find a way to recover his missing hand. Second, appraise the unknown items in his storage ring. He’d been told that the Thousand Treasure was always above board and fair in their dealings. They would never steal from a customer or cheat them in any way. They were fair and honest and so bi...
2018-05-24 21:00:00 +0000 UTC View PostMiles away from that canyon where he’d escaped from the assassins, Sage spent a few hours in self examination. He truly wished to continue escaping as quickly as possible, but it was imperative that the Silverbee, the new Queen, properly establish the hive. The silverbee’s were inside Sage’s body after all, if something we...
2018-05-23 18:59:01 +0000 UTC View PostHe’d cleaned up most of the mess at the bottom of the canyon, but now it was all inside the storage ring and there was plenty of organizing to do. The most he could do inside the ring was moving things around so he couldn’t really put the shelves back together, but he was free to sort through the mess. He hadn’t had the ch...
2018-05-23 07:07:23 +0000 UTC View PostWith a pair of broken legs, and covered in cuts Sage was going to have a hell of a hard time getting out of here. His storage ring was already in quite the mess so he checked the beast bag. Blinking with disappointment as he couldn’t even send his consciousness inside. There was a huge hole stabbed into the front of it and not...
2018-05-22 01:29:38 +0000 UTC View PostThe two men were surprised. Their prey had fallen over the cliff. That wasn’t the satisfying kill they were going for. The burned man walked up to the edge cautious of trickery and peeked over. The other one went to Chou’s body and confirmed his death, taking his possessions as the burned man spoke, “I can’t see him, but...
2018-05-20 22:00:59 +0000 UTC View PostSage was a coward.
He hadn’t realized it before, but at this time, running through the woods fearing for his life… all thoughts of resistance had completely left him. All he could think about was escaping. Just finding somewhere safe and calm. Living a life of luxury with no worries about any danger whatsoever. He al...
2018-05-20 18:01:00 +0000 UTC View PostJoining the Black Dog Company was far easier than Sage thought it would be. The first step was some simple paperwork that consisted of a name and a place of origin, which Sage gave as Ling Sheng from Flying Wind Province. Ling was pretty close to Lang in sound, which would help him from being confused and Flying Wind Province wa...
2018-05-20 14:01:01 +0000 UTC View PostSage stayed in the tomb for three months. He would have stayed even longer, but the solitude was wearing on him. He’d already been trapped in the mines for half a year against his will, and adding on another three months was already too much. The only reason he had was simply because the true Insect Immortal Index was just too...
2018-05-20 05:00:59 +0000 UTC View PostDon’t I already know this? What is the ancestor thinking?
As if the Ancestor could sense his confusion that voice spoke again to explain, “That is the true Insect Immortal Index of the Chong Clan. It is far more powerful than the one passed down in our Lang Clan. Only the core members of the Chong Clan and the cur...
2018-05-20 01:00:59 +0000 UTC View PostRock grinding on rock was not the most pleasant of sounds.
Sage didn’t mind it too much, since at the moment he was suddenly elated. Was this the legendary tomb of treasures? What sort of gaming nerd wouldn’t know about dungeon raiding. Some powerful old guy dies and leaves all his treasures in his burial tomb, then genera...

It was a name that Sage was going to have trouble forgetting. The source of the whole clan being destroyed. Even if he wasn’t very close with anyone but his Uncle, he still felt a sense of kinship. Like distant cousins he’d never met before, he wasn’t wracked with grief over them… but he still felt a s...

Sage took one last trip back through the mines, heading to the office and gathering up his belongings. There really wasn’t much, but he wasn’t sure how far away from home he was and needed food and water. The other, and main, reason he returned was to collect his insects. The Fire Weaver Mantis was not an insect tha...
2018-05-19 00:00:01 +0000 UTC View PostThe plan he’d come up with wasn’t really foolproof like the others, but it was the best he could cobble together so far. The ceiling was quite low, Sage had guessed this path had been clogged with rocks and mud from the cave in long ago which then let these flatworms in, yet it was still more than tall enough. Sending the Ma...

The map had marked a place where the mines had caved in previously that was quite far to the east side of the mountain above. Sage knew that there was a canyon to the east side of the mountain, and he was hoping that the recent quake may have shifted the old cave in. If this was a bust, then he was going to start diggin...

It had been six months.
Sage had turned the office area into his own personal home. He lived mainly in the outer office, and had turned the private boss’ office into an insect nursery. Things had been very rough at the start, adjusting to the unappetizing cuisine and having to brave many dangers in order to secu...
2018-05-18 00:00:01 +0000 UTC View PostIf the shaking had gone on for more than a few seconds, Sage would probably have dropped to his knees and started praying. He wasn’t really religious, but being a mild mannered programmer meant the only real pressure he’d faced was that of crunch time before deadlines. The threat of imminent death was something he’d only i...

Moving closer to investigate, Sage realized there was far too many of these beetles for him to go undiscovered by them. Best to see how hostile they were before moving into the more densely packed area. Walking closer some of the beatles twisted towards him, their antenna twitching as he neared. Standing in the center o...
2018-05-17 02:25:04 +0000 UTC View PostThe mine that caused the death of Lang Sheng!
This new body of his was only mediocre (basically like his old body), and he didn’t have any great status in the clan. That meant the only way he was going to get ahead was by having more resources. Uncle Zhang had already spent most of his favors years ago to allow Sage to be a ...
2018-05-16 21:01:00 +0000 UTC View PostSage smiled as he looked down at his Iron Mantis. He was quite sure those that were afraid of bugs would be downright terrified at the sight of it. It had a dark grey, nearly black, carapace the same shade as cast iron. It’s forelimbs were like serrated knives, flashing about in the air as he had the little guy perform some st...
2018-05-16 17:00:59 +0000 UTC View PostHis talent was mediocre.
Uncle Zhang told him that taking a week to first sense qi meant he was only a middling talent. Really, it wasn’t too bad… at least he could still cultivate, and he didn’t have low talent!
Seems I don’t get to have a hack to start out. Not only no class, not even awesome stats. D...

2018-05-15 22:41:26 +0000 UTC View PostThere was a gun barrel against his head. Sage was thrust into what he could only describe as his worst nightmare. A cold sweat formed on his back as he blinked his eyes, staring up into the darkness of his bedroom. His eyes crossed as he tried to stare at the object pressed between his eyes. As hard as he tried, nothing came for...
