124: The Princess And The Ravager

NOTE: Now that the $10 tier is at 35 chapters ahead of RR, all tiers gain more chapters. The $5 tier goes up to 8 chapters, from 5, and the $10 tier goes up to 18, from 15. Enjoy!

“Vason!” Tia cried, intercepting the nearest Hunter-Gatherer who’d swarmed upon them. The beasts raged like they’d ...

123: Retribution

Vir’s return to the world of the conscious was not nearly as pleasant as his arrival into the dream world.

His entire body blazed with debilitating pain, and it was all he could do to not black out again. Gritting his teeth, he forced his blood to cycle in the pattern he’d practiced.

Praying to Janak that it w...

122: Parai The Ancient

NOTE: If you're in the mood for something very very stupid, consider checking out my litrpg satire comedy, Big Rick Energy: Number Go Up [RPGLiteraturd] on RR:

121: Brood Matron

Tia looked up just in time to see the Brood Matron descending upon her, all eight of its bladed limbs poised to skewer her.

Reacting instinctively, Tia allowed herself to fall, turning her momentum into a roll.

It wasn’t enough. She narrowly avoided the matron’s devastating limbs, but she hadn’t rolled far e...

120: Guerrilla War

NOTE: From now on, major holidays will be observed.

- -

The days blurred by as the Spear’s Edge conquered Aranya Forest, a little at a time. Vir’s strategy worked like a wonder, and the party grew more proficient with each squad crushed.

Their tactics had become so smooth that no words were even...

119: Predator And Prey

“I told you to be careful!” Haymi chided as she applied a Treat Minor Burn orb. While it was a B Grade Life orb, it still wasn’t capable of completely healing Vir’s acid wounds, which had eaten deep into his flesh. But a deluge of water along with her Heal Skin orb neutralized the acid, allo...

118: Reconnaissance of the Shadow Demon

NOTE: Today's bonus chapter! The $10 tier is now 28 chapters ahead of RR, and on our way to 35!
- -
Vir flew through Aranya Forest. Not on the floor, but up on its many branches. Not only were the treetops far easier to navigate, but taking the high road saved him invocations of Dance of the Shadow Demon when s...

114: Breakthroughs

“Yes. Yes! Show me the might of the Aprabomb!” Vason roared as he hunkered down behind his tower shield. An onslaught of blades struck his shield, forcing him to defend with all his might.

“I’m… not… a bomb!” Vir roared. Internally, he cursed at this pointless approach. Better to Leap aro...

117: Monsters Of The Deep

“They’ve penetrated this far? Then…” Haymi said, her face white.

“Then this is going to be a difficult fight indeed.”

Balar 400 to 700 was far beyond even what the Narapazu had been. Individually, Vir would’ve had no choice but to tuck his tail and run, but even with a party, it seemed like a tall or...

116: Aranya Forest

Though Haymi insisted she’d recovered enough to fight, the rest of the party—including Vir—disagreed. While her bones had mostly been mended by the Life mejai, Haymi still flinched when she walked. Powering orbs took concentration, and any distraction could break that. Losing their armor or weapon enhancements mid-battl...

115: Princess Ira Kin'jal (Maiya)

“Whatever you do, don’t make eye contact.”

Maiya sat at the handmaiden’s mess with her colleagues. If there was one thing the group of young women enjoyed, it was gossip. And giving out unsolicited advice.

“And don’t speak unless you’re spoken to! In fact, it’s better not to speak at all, ...

113: Force Multipliers

NOTE: I might've miscalculated Vir's karma gains in the prev chapters. Will be looking into that. Also fixed his payout (both were lower than they should've been.)

- -
The cool lake’s wind ruffled Vir’s hair as he stood on its sandy white shores south of Avi. Thanks to Daiya Lake, the region kept a temperate cl...

112: Pure Seric

NOTE: Special extra chapter of the week for the $10 tier! The $10 tier is now 27 chapters ahead of RR. The backlog will continue to expand each week until we're 35 chapters ahead.
- -
“Name?” asked the Brotherhood Executor.

Vir had been dreading this moment. To register in Tia’s party, he’d need to provid...

111: Party Time

“Are… you alright?” Tia asked, her expression tinged with concern as she looked him over. “Are you hurt?”

Vir wiped away the tears that flowed down his cheeks. He turned away, more out of concern for his face paint than embarrassment. Luckily, he’d learned a few tricks to make the paint slightly more waterpr...

110: Way Of The Giant

NOTE: No chapter on Monday in observance of Memorial Day. From now on, major holidays will be observed. See you all tuesday!
- -
When Haymi lost consciousness, her magic ceased powering Tia and Vason’s armor and weapons. The superhuman toughness that had allowed Vason to survive his earlier blow was now gone; the pa...

109: Narapazu

A part of Vir’s mind told him to run. To flee with all haste. To get as far away from the thing that emitted that bloodcurdling roar as possible.

But another part spurred him on. He ran neither for glory nor Brotherhood karma. He ran because he’d heard another cry—a human cry—and one that sound...

108: Prana Blade

Prana can do damage, Vir thought. Or rather, prana combined with intent could do damage.

Riyan’s Blade Projection flung Earth prana from the blade, extending its reach. Kamna’s Blade Launch took the concept even further, firing off a concentrated burst of prana that ripped through...

107: Ash Biter

The party stared at Vir in shocked silence.

“I think you ought to abort,” Vir said, nodding to their downed comrade. The man was injured and bleeding, but not yet dead. “If you get him to a healer quickly, he might live.”

They nodded and scooped up their friend, heading back in silence. Vir thought he’d ...

106: Ekavir - Dungeon Diver

Vir stood alongside Neel and Bumpy, surrounded by dozens of mercenaries at the mine entrance—a gaping hole in the side of the South Legion Mountains. The crack was old enough to look natural, though the mining cart tracks that led inside told a different story.

By his count, nearly fifty had shown up for this contract...

105: The Banquet

“Spears Edge, party of… four?” the well-dressed greeter said, eyeing Haymi, Vason, and Vir.

“Our leader’ll join us later,” Vason replied. “Just us three for now.”

Vir stood star struck at the ballroom they’d just entered. Enormous crystal chandeliers hung from the four-story ceiling, ill...

104: The Road To Vir (Maiya)

Maiya fell to her knees. She looked upon the empty dune in front of her, searching for the faintest sign of familiarity. And yet, there was none to be found.

“This has to be the place!” Maiya said through gritted teeth. She picked up a handful of sand, allowing it to filter through the gap between her finge...

Lots of Art - Avi (Rani), Daha Brotherhood, Zorin (Rani)

103: Avi - City Of Water

Vir soon learned that Rani’s peace and prosperity made for some very boring journeys. While the company was appreciated—he’d warmed up to the party again after their conversation the first night—everything else was monotonous.

The same perfectly maintained road led them the entire way south, making the navigatio...

102: Bonds of Kinship

Vir froze halfway to the fried potatoes.

“Come again?”

“Join up with us! I mean, just for now, of course. It’d give you a lot of benefits,and we’ve been looking for a fourth for some time.”

A thousand thoughts went through Vir’s mind, but all of them said one thing: no way. He operated...

101: Aryan

NOTE: Hope everyone had a great weekend. As stated on friday, we'll be moving to 6x a week, growing the $10 patron chapter backlog by 1 chapter every week from now on. (I have to edit all of these, so it's tough for me to dump them all at at once). All tiers will eventually get more chapters.

Also, thanks for your pat...

100: Cave Patrol

Vir’s eyes narrowed, and he leveled a stare at the blonde girl.

“You always make damning statements like that offhand?” he asked, not letting his gaze betray anything.

Tia grinned. “Sorry, bad habit. You’d be amazed at the number of people who give up their secrets all because of an errant comment.” Sh...

99: Spear's Edge

Realizing that food shopping on an empty stomach was liable to empty his wallet, Vir splurged on a scrumptious meal at the local food carts, tasting kebabs, stir-fries, and delicious local sweets, of which an orange deep fried sugar dish was his favorite. Even Neel had his fill, so when they stopped at the market, it was all ...

98: Bargains & Brotherhoods

It wasn’t the array of polearms, or the shields of all sizes and shapes, or even the flails, maces, talwars, or greatswords that caught Vir’s eye.

Sure, those wer...

Arc 3 Artwork

Artwork for Daha's sewers and Valaka Amara - the outpost of the gods. I have more art to backfill, so expect similar posts in the upcoming days.

If you are unable to view these images, please let me know! I'm trying something different this time, hoping it'll work for more people.

97: Zorin - Town Of Rainbows

The journey of ten days may have been uneventful, but that didn’t mean it had been easy.

Hot desert days sapped Vir and Bumpy’s energy, but traveling at night posed its own issues. Bumpy’s degraded eyesight and uneven terrain gave them no choice. Vir had risked traveling at night before, but now realized how much ...
