Hera and the girls kept talking through most of the night. While they discussed more details about Boothudurn, Silah also asked a bunch of different questions about things in the human world. During the time that Hera talked to her family, the dwarf kept watching videos to learn more about society and talking to the others. S...
2021-07-23 13:00:08 +0000 UTC View PostThey considered sending Sevaris straight away to the Kobold Tunnel, but Bonnie suggested that he could drop by the store to bring back some things before doing that. After all, they had the gift cards, and going back with some food or other things that weren't available in Boothudurn would make the King very happy.

2021-07-21 13:01:03 +0000 UTC View PostBonnie couldn't tell if Hera and Blue vanished at a good moment or not. There were more changes during the last 8 months than in the last couple of years together. For starters, the New Dawn rolled out the infrastructure update on some rooms. They were focusing on the lower layers and the highest ones at the same time. Brinef...
2021-07-19 13:00:08 +0000 UTC View PostAfter Alex's tackle, Kara, the guild clerk, scolded her for causing another commotion in front of the guild. Then, she led the group to a private room inside the building and asked them to wait there, along with Sevaris and Silah. Dealing with something like adding a new nation to the guild was way out of her league, and it w...
2021-07-17 13:00:06 +0000 UTC View PostIt was a lovely day to work. Ever since the guild stopped being cheap and constructed a few houses in the room, being a clerk became a dream job. Kara lived just a few minutes away from the guild and this room had such a calm environment. There were very few problems here and there even was a nice barbecue place just down the...
2021-07-16 13:00:08 +0000 UTC View PostEveryone in the city of Boothudurn could tell that there was something big going on. The last time a King called everyone to the main square for an announcement was to declare that his son, Rutigan, would take his place. Not even the arrival of the humans or the death of the Sky Ruler was deserving of such a thing. There was ...
2021-07-14 13:01:04 +0000 UTC View PostHera and Blue were running as fast as they could. The time to hold back and maintain some energy for emergencies had passed. If the column of fire rising from the lower city wasn't a signal that something was very wrong, they didn't know what would be. The flames coming out from the hole were so intense that they tinted the d...
2021-07-12 13:01:16 +0000 UTC View PostHera and Blue were having some trouble controlling the servers. They kept trying to run instead of walking along the streets as the humans wanted. It wasn't like they didn't have the urge to keep running away, but now, Hera already knew that it was better to pace herself during a dungeon. However, the dwarves didn't seem to c...

The first thing that Hera and Blue did was to try to get some information from someone, anyone. As the people were running around, they tried to stop them to ask some quick questions, but this close to the palace...
2021-07-09 13:01:03 +0000 UTC View PostHera and the others had already left the dungeon. Despite their small nap in the evening, they were exhausted since it was already past 10 A.M. Before splitting off, Fethy gave the potion of hydration she got as a reward to Blue, and Silah gave hers to Hera. They had no idea if it would be helpful for the dungeon or not, Neve...
2021-07-07 13:01:04 +0000 UTC View PostThe discovery of the hard mode thrilled Hera and Blue. This was the last step, the last thing they had to do before unlocking the room and finally going back home. To help them find what unlocked it, Sevaris explained what his team did inside the dungeon. Every group that went inside the Weeding Disaster had to give a complet...
2021-07-05 13:00:08 +0000 UTC View PostWhen Hera touched the dungeon entrance, they noticed that the part of the notification talking about the number of attempts remaining had vanished. This could mean that the reset had just happened, or that it was a daily thing. There could even be an issue related to the dungeon being cleared for the first time. As far as Her...
2021-07-03 13:00:06 +0000 UTC View PostHera and Blue were walking through the tunnel that led them to the dungeon. It was funny to think how worried they were before finding out what was on the other side of the passage. They were ready to fight for their lives and instead just had a day to plan an event. Silah's muffled voice could be heard from beyond the doors ...

2021-06-28 13:00:09 +0000 UTC View PostThe path to the palace was straightforward. All that Hera had to do was follow the road up and pass through a couple of checkpoints. The closer she got to the castle walls, the more heavily armored dwarves appeared. In a way, it looked like they were preparing for war. After using her [Observe] on the people standing around, ...
2021-06-26 13:00:05 +0000 UTC View PostAfter their less than optimal attempt at removing the roots and vines from the side of the building, Hera and Blue went back inside to see the problem from a different angle. They stood in front of a large cluster of vines atop the right staircase. The vegetation here was much denser than the one they saw outside. When they c...
2021-06-25 13:01:03 +0000 UTC View PostHera and Blue felt helpless while watching the lines of people move around inside the kitchen. The cooks all worked on their unique dishes, calling out for plates and changes of stations. It was the same with the servers, they took box after box from a room in the back without stopping for a single moment. The entire kitchen ...
2021-06-23 13:00:10 +0000 UTC View PostHera and Blue were finally ready to go inside the new dungeon. After killing the Sky Ruler, their equipment was still banged up, and it took some time to get it fixed. Kahala made both their armors, and the armorsmith refused to do anything in a hurry. It was a good thing, since it allowed Blue to get used to the complete leg...
2021-06-21 13:00:09 +0000 UTC View PostHera, Blue, and Silah took some time before heading back to the tunnel. The fight was exhausting, and it was a lovely day despite the cold. With the sun shining above their heads, there wasn't a single cloud in the sky. To top it all off, the view from the plateau was amazing now that the looming threat of death was over. The...
2021-06-19 13:00:06 +0000 UTC View PostWhile Blue was busy trying to break the barrier, Hera was left alone to distract the Sky Ruler. At first, things weren't that bad. She hit the creature using rocks from a spell to cause a distraction and dashed towards it while swapping her chakram to her new handaxe. She got close enough to slash the creature's legs a couple...
2021-06-18 13:01:04 +0000 UTC View PostTo start the fight, Hera flung a few poison needles at the Sky Ruler. She wasn't expecting the spell to do much, but that was just her opening move. Most griffons tried to avoid the attack, but the giant creature just flapped its wings, blocking the projectiles. Doing that proved that the monster had high control over mana. T...

It was time for their daily scavenge. In this white world, the most the griffons could find to eat were some large seeds or leaves. None of them had any sort of meat in a very long time. Hell, most of them didn't even know wh...
2021-06-14 13:00:05 +0000 UTC View PostHera, Blue, and Silah walked out of the dungeon. They had some dirt on their hair and shoulders, but they were all smiling and laughing.
"It was a good idea to test that inside the dungeon. Can you imagine how hard it would be to clean that up?" Blue said.
"Yeah. The mess I made in the bathroom was with just the b...
2021-06-12 16:44:38 +0000 UTC View PostHera got up from her bed very carefully. She didn't want to wake Silah, who was sleeping next to her. For a dwarf that was used to the sound of hammering, she had a surprisingly light sleep. Hera picked a wool robe she got as a gift the previous night and put it on. She also put on the cloud wool slippers that were a gift fro...

It took some time before Hera and Blue could talk about what happened inside the nest. But when they calmed down, they discussed how the place looked and about the juvenile griffon they fought. For some reason that Hera couldn't understand, Blue stopped her from mentioning anything about the egg. It was strange because the eg...

One of the major benefits of doing the hard mode, aside from the experience, wa...
2021-06-04 13:00:06 +0000 UTC View PostThe entire team was staring at the place where the scavenger ruler once was. Not because of the pile of loot that had appeared after it died or because of the crater on the ground. But because of the captain of the guard, who was now covered in blood with an eerie smile on her face.
"Ca..captain?" Sevaris called.
