“Oh I hate this so much!” Ben yelled again as he accidentally passed through a portal, taking him away from the gate he could easily see off in the distance.
When they’d first arrived it had been an empty expanse with the exit in the distance, but seemingly not so far as some of the other ones. He’d been sure he...

This might be bad.
She’d been stuck with the man, Falk, for a week as she tried to heal herself to the point she’d be able to move, and despite herself she’d gotten to know him as the time passed. Whenever something put her on edge he tried to start small, simple conversations to help her relax, he kept c...

Coming to consciousness was a disorienting affair. At first, she didn’t remember anything, being too consumed by the pain that coursed through her body, but as it came back in fragments she was able to ignore it for all of the relief that filled her in the end.
She was alive. Not well, Even without moving she could te...

The moment they passed through the boundary of the trial, all effects they were under vanished. Even injured and in pain, Ben felt incredible in comparison, vowing to never take for granted his body again as Greed came back to his senses.
“Fuck, my head… Legs, you okay?” He asked, filled with concern. “Didn’t ...

Annnnd, almost out of mana again. Damn it.
For two days, Sonya did nothing but hide away in the bushes, pushing the weak life magic she had to regenerate as much of the blood she’d lost as she could and killing any smaller creature pulled in by her charm while she waited for her sister to return, feeling her ...

“Alright Greed all you have to do is think of something and we’ll see if it works,” Ben told his companion, a metal box strapped to his head in preparation for a little experiment he’d made to keep himself sane.
“Like this?” He asked in a robotic voice, only to change his tone immediately. “Holy crap, this...

After he was completely healed, the fact that he’d learned how to get the trial to provide him with more food was a godsend. All of the cooked skin had been shed off in the process, and while that could be sa...

Stepping into the trial, he was actually given a few reasons to feel optimistic. There was in fact solid ground for him to walk on, though it seemed more like a construct of mana that stone or earth beneath his feet, and his enchantments were holding. More than that, he was actually too cold from them and lowered their output...

“Holy crap!” Ben yelled out as he caught sight of a certain area of the trial's enchantments briefly activate. “There’s no freaking way, that should be impossible!”
“What?” Greed yelled in a panic as he sat in Ben’s hand, eating the only source of food available to him. “Don’t tell me we’re in trou...

Ben opened his eyes, still cold and wet but thankfully on the floor of the next rest area, Greed already working on healing him as he laid there. He worried about how long he’d been out but cast a look to the area of the wall he knew the countdown would be and saw it was only a few hours.
“So how’s it look Greed, ...

“I can’t believe that took me over a freaking week,” Ben complained as he got himself out of the pool he’d made. The zeroth level he’d managed on the first day, but the first he’d only gotten more than a week later, having used the better part of each day doing it.

“Holy shit! Did you just awaken a skill?” Greed called out as he saw Ben’s body flash with light as it flooded with mana.
“Yeah, and it’s a sick joke,” He told the crab, feeling all the more annoyed for it. He’d have to test the difference for his enchanting skill, he was sure it would have improved leaps ...

All he wanted to do was give into his body's demand that he pass out, but he knew that he couldn’t. They were in a state of emergency. Even though Greed would be able to repair the damage he’d put his body through working it like that, it would take days that they didn’t have. If he couldn’t move, he needed to at leas...

Going through the portal was as violent of an experience for him as the tornado, leaving him grateful to be alive, even if he was worse for wear.
The speed he had been moving at left him rolling across the floor until he crashed into the wall at the other end, breaking his arms and legs as he went, and he was sure a few...

Ben pinched the bridge of his nose as he took it in. He was still determined to get them out of there, it was only a matter of how long it would take. He was sure it was possible, it just wouldn’t be easy, so he needed to know what sort of time limit he was on.
“Alright, how long can you live without food?”

As her uncle dealt with the templars after their attack on Olop, she’d left him to handle the aftermath. She had more important things to do.
