Augh, why did I react like that? Something is clearly wrong with me.
Ever since she’d walked in on Ben getting his blood sucked and briefly losing control of her mana in the surprise her thoughts had been a mess. She’d done worse with training with her father and during the time she spent helping her aunt i...
2022-08-19 16:18:17 +0000 UTC View PostAs the next day wore on, Ben got all of the tasks he needed to out of the way. Braces were made and he’d found the materials to make the items Quilith requested already in his work area in the morning, so once that was done he started and finished on that.
It wasn’t the most exciting, but he’d managed to improve t...
2022-08-18 13:09:55 +0000 UTC View PostWhen they got back to the house he rushed to his work area, overflowing with confidence that even if it wasn’t as optimal as it could be, he’d be able to solve the issue of the vampire's enthrallment, and with that in mind was eager to get to work.
He did the same thing he’d been doing before, wrapping the model t...
2022-08-17 14:20:27 +0000 UTC View PostAfter Ben finished up making all of the braces he could, Pelenia led him through town as Thera was busy training with her father. He would have liked her company but it seemed that without her daughter to tease, Pelenia became far more restrained.
“So Ben, I couldn’t help but notice that on your first night here you...
2022-08-16 12:01:23 +0000 UTC View PostWith that settled, Ben ran down to his work area to collect a spare brace as well as a few blank rings before running back to the rest of them to start.
As agreed, Mercy pulled out her card, letting him see two skills that were new to him, enthrallment and blood thinning.
“What’s this one then?”
“It ...

2022-08-14 15:04:51 +0000 UTC View Post<LIFE MAGIC LEVEL INCREASED>
In the days she’d been helping her aunt Lux at the hospital, she’d been forced to push her life magic in ways she never had to back at Stonewall or during any of their hunts, doing things with the magic she wasn’t even aware of until her aunt had taken the time to explain the spe...

He’d spent so long simply sitting and waiting, hoping to slow the decay that had been consuming his magic ...

Your favourite Turnip here with some quick words I just wanted you all to be aware of. First things first, there will be chapters every day from this friday to next so long as nothing goes wrong.
I'm basically putting them out to be on the safe side but I hope it's good news for you all...
2022-08-11 15:11:47 +0000 UTC View Post“Uhg, why is everything so terrible,” Ben whined during breakfast, face down on the table. After a full week since his first crushing defeat he’d tried again each day, working on new tools and weapons he thought might give him an edge but completely losing in the process.
Abrus seemed amused by the fact he wanted ...

“I mean, yes but they’re level zero so not much good against someone like you.”
“Come on, give it a go,” Writ told him encouragingly. “Take it from me, you don’t get many chances to fight against ...
2022-08-07 13:58:00 +0000 UTC View PostHey everyone, just wanted to say that the bonus chapter is going to need a couple extra days. I've got most of it written but I'm not satisfied with it and want to fix it up, so the goal is going to be to have it out by monday.
Anyway, hope you all enjoy today's chapter and have a great day!
2022-08-05 11:28:16 +0000 UTC View Post“Well, that’s interesting.”
“What?” Pelenia asked as she looked down at the brace on her arm. She didn’t need one, having the sixth level in charm like her sister did as well, but she was helping Ben test something.
“Having dark resistance enhancement lowered the amount of resistance a person would n...
2022-08-05 11:24:40 +0000 UTC View Post“Wow,” He involuntarily spoke as he saw his friend entering his work area. Instead of the cloak he was used to seeing her wearing or the clothes she would lounge in at home, Thera appeared in a gorgeous blue dress. He took a second to compose himself before continuing. “You look beautiful, what’s the occasion?”

She had originally planned on only helping every other day, but since her father was still away dealing with the other great spirits she decided to do a bit more and was already seeing a benefit with a level up ...

When he’d managed to find the guild in question he’d been immediately impressed by the size, but had assumed the actual amount of books available would have been smaller than that of the craftsman guild given how broad the information that could be foun...

2022-07-24 15:38:35 +0000 UTC View PostThera woke up far earlier than she usually would, the emotions from the previous day leaving her with a poor sleep as she cracked open her eyes and found herself surprisingly close to Ben's face.
It took a moment but she remembered asking him to stay, she just hadn’t expected to wake up next to him, nor to have ended ...

Here I am with another poll, this time with brand new options! In the last one I said I was going to try to figure out how often to reexamine some of the past options that didn't make the cut since I don't want a repeat of doing it two months in a row if I can help it so what I'm currently thinking...
2022-07-20 19:05:51 +0000 UTC View PostHis mind flashed to the conversation he’d seen in Thera’s memory during the trial of Anailia and he turned to his friend to see how she was reacting. Though the great light spirit wasn’t among the ones gathered at that time when they’d planned to try and give rise to a more successful spirit hybrid than Thera had been...
2022-07-19 11:40:14 +0000 UTC View PostGoing through the gate, they arrived in Anailia a few hours earlier than the last time, the immediate change in time zones still managing to be disorientating, but Ben did his best to ignore it in favour of doing the same thing he’d done before, dragging Thera to every blacksmith and enchanters shop he could get to before t...

2022-07-12 11:25:16 +0000 UTC View PostThe days of their small journey passed without much issue. The lantern was doing its job and drawing creatures in as they went, but anything that came their way had been small enough not to pose any real threat to a carriage going through the nearby road, and Thera was able to swiftly deal with them with her earth magic witho...
