Chapter 92: Coward

Riv’s shovel finally clanged against something harder than dirt after hours of digging. He ditched the shovel, crouched lower into the hole, and brushed dirt away with his hand until the top of a stone pillar revealed itself. It was smooth, almost polished, and black in a way only the temple-related rock ever was.

Tier Fixes + Snowingpine V4 announcement

Hello! RC here,
A couple of days ago I finally stopped writing for a moment, and sat down to properly organize the patreon stuff I have been somewhat neglecting. That includes properly locking content, since until now, $3 patrons had access to the full 32 chapter backlog, which was of course not intended. This has now bee...

Chapter 91: Picture

Marco started his explanation slowly, intending to hold back some of the more sensitive details of the adventure. Soon, he decided that didn't matter. Activating Captain's Cry just to be sure, he verified the village wasn't under any kind of spell that made it seem something it wasn't before dumping as much information on the...

Chapter 90: Shock

Marco wasn’t sure if the system had saved him or if he had just won that roll of the dice, but either way he was still standing. That counted. It counted double, he found, when his friends turned out to be okay too.

Boots clattered up from below decks. Elisa emerged first, her hands still crackling with electricity an...

Chapter 89: System

Any further agreement or disagreements Aethe might have expressed were drowned out in a sudden chain-reaction explosion of smoke and fire that swept the entire upper deck of the enemy ship. It was a huge craft, truly, and wouldn't have been something they could have normally boarded from the top. One power made all the differ...

Chapter 88: Arbalest

The words sank in quickly. The glint of sun off far‑off sails was too steady, too wide, and too purposeful to be anything but a warship heading directly towards them. It had swagger. Marco generally liked swagger but had found it was much worse when the confidence was aimed directly at him. He would have much preferred a wo...

Chapter 87: Test Drive

“I guess that explains the claws,” Marco said. “I thought for sure this thing would give us more.”

“Shh,” Elisa said. “It still might. Give it time.”

The floor shifted in color slightly a moment later, then shot out a single beam of light that connected with Marco’s forehead. He tried to twist ou...

Chapter 86: Overlord of Terror

They were about a half mile down the tunnel when Aethe noticed the first problem.

"The staircase is gone. I guess that's to be expected," she said.

"Great," Elisa said. "I'll start drawing a map. If this isn't an enchanted labyrinth, I'll eat my hat."

Her map was doomed to stay simple for a long time. After ...

Chapter 85: Different

The mosquitoes weren’t monstrous, not in the way of system-spawned horrors or the thumb-sized mutant bloodsuckers Marco had sometimes teased Elisa about, but each insect was nearly double the size of what they were used to. Once it started, their droning hum never ceased, and no matter how many they slapped, more replaced t...

Chapter 84: Camping

They spent an hour in the log storage building, going over details. By the end of it, they were all more or less on the same page.

"You need wood. I can handle that." Zia held up his hand as the other big man started to raise some sort of objection. "I'll make sure the village gets paid now. This is my private stock. Th...

Chapter 83: Currents of the Doomed

Currents of the Doomed

On your ship, this skill allows for the expenditure of magic power to hinder the movement of an enemy ship, either in terms of its intended course corrections, its speed, or both. The effects are larger or smaller based on both your power and the ability of the enemy s...

Chapter 82: Revenge

Marco got better than he expected. As instructed, Elisa and the others were using the good ammo, and the first salvo covered the deck of the enemy ship with fire and smoke, obscuring the small ship’s vision just enough for it to miss a low, submerged sheet of wood that looked like it might have once been an entire dock. The...

Spiritual Parasite (Undefined, Water-Influenced)

Many things exist in this world. Of those, a good portion are things created by the system. Some, however, are not. Most of these are descendants of beings otherwise designed by the system but that have long since changed to be something diffe...

Chapter 80: Spirit

“Something’s happening,” Aethe called from the front of the boat. Normally she'd be perched on it, but today she was kneeling on the deck boards, holding tight to either rail. “There are bubbles. Turn hard port.”

Marco pulled with all his weight, swinging the wheel until the rudder felt like it would rip loose...

Chapter 79: A Good Fight

Two days in, Elisa’s math had saved them a hundred times. She not only had entries for each ship in the water with them, but she had also given them names. She knew what they were capable of, speedwise, at least from what they’d shown so far. In fact, she had an educated guess for how fast each of them could be if they re...
