Hera couldn't believe her luck. And again, luck might not be the correct word for that. This was effort. Something she worked hard to make. A combined effort of Forge and her. And the result was simply fantastic. Originally, her weapon was supposed to be only an Epic one but now it was Unique. Meaning that was also bound to h...
2025-03-29 21:40:29 +0000 UTC View PostMorning came with Astrid and I waking up very early. We were half expecting the guards to rush into Genevieve's house and arrest us then and there, but instead they just left someone in front of her house to make sure we were not going to run. And once we did leave, the man just asked us to accompany him so we could find Gene...
2025-03-29 05:13:49 +0000 UTC View PostHera didn't start trying to reforge the gloves right away. She did several test runs together with Forge over the last couple of days before feeling confident in continuing with the repair of her glove. During that time, she also participated in a couple of dungeon runs but was unable to befriend the Jarnak as she hoped. Mean...
2025-03-28 02:06:47 +0000 UTC View Post"Wait, what? You're asking if I can give this power to someone from the village?" I stared at Michael with an expression of utter confusion.
"I mean, they've spent a long time not having to worry about danger. They could live here without any problems. And I'm assuming it's because of the giant crab, Michael Repli...
2025-03-27 03:08:53 +0000 UTC View PostEarly the next morning, Hera decided to go to her private room. She wanted to fix the gloves and, more than that, she wanted to get her final titled blade soon. And she felt restless about it. It was a bit strange. That kind of thing never bothered her before. Not when talking about the title blades, at least. The open slot t...
2025-03-26 03:04:16 +0000 UTC View PostI stared at the names of the two options that were in front of me.
Was this what I should expect going forward? Every time my skill was going to increase its rank, would I get multiple paths to pick from?
But since it was the first time I was seeing something like this, it made sense. Apparently, Astrid's
Hera was sitting in front of the Jarnak as the snake just stared at her with an angry expression. She had been doing this for a couple of hours already, and Pandora was starting to get restless. She understood the idea. In order to tame a wild beast, you had to first gain its trust, but so far, nothing that they tried seemed ...

The empress looked around while the arena was still being showered by cheer and applause. It sounded very weird, but at the same time it was a nice feeling. It was the first time that she was praised like that and it wasn't because she saved people from a horrible situation. She could get used to that kind of thing.
"Th...
2025-03-21 21:07:26 +0000 UTC View PostA giant fucking crab. That's what was scaring everything away. And honestly, I couldn't really blame any of the animals that didn't want to be around. Crabs already were weird looking, but at this size, they became truly horrifying.
Not to mention, I remember Pops talking about how things kept evolving into crabs. Which...
2025-03-20 17:37:08 +0000 UTC View PostHera walked into the arena, not expecting that big of a reaction. It was so strange to have so many people cheering for her at the same time. But that didn't matter. She wasn't here to be applauded or anything of the sort. She was here to win the competition and get the best reward she could from the dungeon. But at the same ...
2025-03-19 21:23:58 +0000 UTC View PostOnce we saw the giant shape on the lake, Astrid and I had to make a decision. Were we going to continue forward and risk fighting a creature without our weapons, or would we head back to gather our stuff and then go after Michael and Pamela?
"Do you think we can make it before they reach the other side?" I asked t...
2025-03-18 02:32:22 +0000 UTC View PostEverybody was sitting on the Arena side seats just as every other team had the right to do. They had just watched one of their opponents face off against a creature and earn 300 points for their effort. There were some people commentating on this match and, by the looks of it, that was a respectable amount of points for a fig...
2025-03-17 01:55:54 +0000 UTC View PostThe festival started much earlier than I was expecting. Instead of it being an evening party, people started gathering a few hours after lunch. And by the looks of it, that was the expected time frame. Which, in hindsight, made sense. Some of the decorations we were preparing would really only be seen during the day. And at n...
2025-03-16 21:58:53 +0000 UTC View PostOnce Hera was out of the dungeon, she returned gasping for air due to the sheer surprise of what happened. And the same thing happened to everybody else in the group. They were all breathing heavily, having just witnessed the Feywyrm's death.
"Is everyone okay?" Alex asked, casting a cleansing skill on herself just to b...
2025-03-15 04:02:36 +0000 UTC View PostI only managed to talk to Astrid early next morning. And thankfully, it didn't take much convincing for her to agree that things were not quite right in this place. While the story about marrying the lake was the nail on the coffin, the Frosted Lumberjack had also uncovered a few suspicious details. For instance, the big cons...
2025-03-15 02:08:51 +0000 UTC View PostHera looked around, confirming that she indeed was in control of the direction her head was turning. But it was the only thing she could move by herself. Everything else was moving on its own, almost as if it was on autopilot. She was inside a dragon. Or at least, the vision was making her perceive the world as the ancient Fe...
2025-03-14 02:55:51 +0000 UTC View Post"Do you promise you're not going to scream?" the woman asked, and I just nodded in response. Not that she could actually stop me from doing anything, really. By the lack of strength she had, it would be easy to overpower her. But since I wanted information, it was better to play along for now.
"Okay," she removed her ha...
2025-03-13 19:02:06 +0000 UTC View PostHera and the others walked into the museum area of the hunter's guild. Inside was filled with various historical objects. From the clothes that the original Scale Heart chieftain wore to more modern devices. Things like crossbows and bolts, metal armor that did not exist back in the regular mode of the dungeon, and all sorts ...
2025-03-12 03:57:52 +0000 UTC View PostJust like we expected, people started their day really early. I was barely surprised when some of the villagers already got up during sunrise and were moving around the buildings, searching for something. I needed a little bit of time to understand what was going on. My paranoid side was worried that there was awful going wro...
2025-03-11 22:33:33 +0000 UTC View PostWith everyone ready for the hard mode, the group asked around just to see if there was anything they should be taking into the dungeon. But everyone said that there was nothing. Everything they needed would be inside of the dungeon, and unlike the normal mode where you could bring your own traps, the hard mode did not allow f...
2025-03-10 22:34:45 +0000 UTC View PostMichael was an extremely chatty person. Before we even started walking, he already told us he wasn't from here, that he arrived a while back and that he liked Genevieve and found Amelia a bit strange.
"You know, I'm really glad you came here. Being the new kid in a village always feels strange, doesn't it?"

2025-03-09 03:59:27 +0000 UTC View PostIn her room once again, Hera was talking to Shane and Pandora about the information shared by Nana Mittens. They did have a brief moment to say how much they liked the guide. Which was quickly going to become a favorite for all three of them. But now, the topic in question was the message given by the cat guide.

2025-03-08 04:03:54 +0000 UTC View PostSo you were the two people who arrived at our little village in the past few hours?" A woman wearing a long dress with a flower pattern on it said with a smile. She was on the older side, with some gray in her hair, but still looked spry for her age.
For some reasons, I felt it was better to reply with the same ki...
2025-03-08 00:17:20 +0000 UTC View PostHera continued the tea time with Nana Mittens for about half an hour. But, eventually, the cat guide groaned and started waving her wooden spoon in the air again. The spoon itself only appeared when she was berating the system for its interruption, vanishing completely when she turned back to Hera and her court.
"Fine. ...
2025-03-06 17:25:11 +0000 UTC View PostAfter leaving the village, Astrid and I didn't talk very much. We were both still frustrated with the entire situation. For one, even after everything we went through just to save that kid, no one thanked us. And as if that wasn't bad enough, they even tried to steal the System just because they thought it would be good for t...
2025-03-05 22:06:54 +0000 UTC View PostAfter hearing about Pandora's situation, Hera ended up giving her one of the bracelet snakes that could generate a vial of Ophidianite essence every day. The ones that could give, or increase the rank of a skill of her species. She made it clear that this did not mean Pandora was already accepted as an Ophidianite, but it was...
2025-03-05 01:11:04 +0000 UTC View Post"Over here," I called as Astrid and I walked towards the paint store.
When we first stopped here, together with the rest of the scout team, we set up four cans to be carried later. And right now, there were only two left. It felt wrong somehow not to bring anything back to the village, even if we were taking Frede...
2025-03-04 04:08:08 +0000 UTC View PostHera jumped to the left, evading a large boulder that was tossed in her direction. Right after it, she flipped her left wrist, letting a few strands of the bladed gloves lash out almost like a whip. The strings moved away from her hand and wrapped around each other, but instead of making one larger string, they made three. Th...
