When I activated my breakthrough, I had a firm image in mind for my floor guardian. I quickly received feedback that my idea would work, but I would need to allocate more of my breakthrough mana towards the floor guardian.
I didn’t mind this as I had quite a lot more than I was originally supposed to, as I was saving ...

The madness is over and my brain is mush but I did it 25 chapters ahead of royalroad. Tomorrow its back to one chapter.

Even though it was mentioned that the first floors were technically second-rank, I think they were bullshitting. All I've had to do is walk, but the good thing is that we were des...
2023-07-13 12:51:40 +0000 UTC View PostWhen I got downstairs, I decided to go straight over to the meeting point, which was a tavern at the edge of the city. It was quite a large place, obviously meant for travellers. There were already quite a few people here, and meals were already being served.
I ordered myself two meals called the "Three-Day Breakfast". ...
2023-07-13 12:48:10 +0000 UTC View PostWe walked into a relatively small classroom. There were five rows of desks. Adam and Luana sat in the second row, right in front of the blackboard. I picked a spot in the third row, right next to the window, and Arabella chose a seat in the third row as well, but closest to the exit door. Horus walked towards the blackboard a...

We only had time for greetings as the evaluator approached us quickly and asked us to start. "Okay, this should be quick," Adam said. I wondered why and looked at Luana questioningly. "We had a bit of trouble before, but Adam and Horus were able to handle it by using their connections. The evaluator is basi...

I was so relieved everything went so well, but I had so many questions to ask Rich. However, the others were correct; this wasn't the place or time to do so, and we would have quite a long time to spend together inside the dungeon.
We were all quite happy at the moment, and he seemed to be really strong,...
2023-07-12 13:04:45 +0000 UTC View PostMorning came faster than I anticipated. I was awake before I needed to start moving. I decided to do some stretches and check everything. While I still wasn’t completely clear about the dungeon and how long we were going to be inside versus outside, I hoped we would have some time to train together as I was seriously missin...

The fight we were currently watching was incredible, something no one would've expected to have happen on a random weekday during the day. What we were witnessing was something that would typically occur during prime time and would have been advertised for at least a few weeks.
Everyone was focused on t...

I could already tell what spell the mage was about to use, and I somewhat regretted not betting. The water rushed out and almost immediately surrounded the fighter. Everyone in the restaurant complained in their own ways as we were all hoping for a longer fight.
Then a moment later, the water disappeared...

I was quite nervous. Tomorrow we were supposed to meet Rich, but everyone else was quite skeptical about him, especially after we found our 4th member. I was glad that it was a woman, but she was also quite a lot stronger than her stat blocks would indicate like the rest of us.
We had also found a few mo...
2023-07-11 12:12:09 +0000 UTC View PostI wasn’t able to make a decisive strike, but eventually, my opponent surrendered. He was getting too many wounds, and I think he simply didn’t want to spend too much on healing.
During our entire fight, he was unable to deliver any decent attacks, so I guess he knew that it was a lost cause. He didn't seem angry abo...
2023-07-10 13:25:42 +0000 UTC View PostThat was quite a good fight, and I think I learned a lot about how to defend myself. I also felt that my assumption that in this world, you should be ready for almost anything, is absolutely correct. Someone else who could get past my defenses and use the same technique as he did would be quite deadly.
I was offered a b...
2023-07-10 13:25:07 +0000 UTC View PostAs soon as the signal for the fight was given, he rushed towards me. I could see how he used multiple abilities to boost himself and the weapon he was wielding. I answered in kind, but I focused on defense for a moment.
His attacks were decently heavy and I constantly needed to move and adjust my shield to keep his atta...
2023-07-10 13:24:15 +0000 UTC View PostFinally, something exciting happened with my achievement page. I was quite disappointed with what I gained after the dragon fight. Yes, the class levels were okay, but I only got a few levels for my skills and abilities. The worst part was the two traits for empathy and intelligence.
Both traits were swallowed by the gi...

The Court of the Young barely had any political power and was mainly used for people to satis...
2023-07-07 09:37:35 +0000 UTC View PostIt took me about an hour to get out of the more industrial section of the city around our compound. There were two different routes that I could take, one through the more residential area or the more commercial one.
I picked the commercial route as I also wanted to check out what items were for sale. I had only been in...
2023-07-06 11:55:58 +0000 UTC View PostThe preparation took three days, but now I was standing in front of the portal station, ready to venture further than I ever had in this world. I was the first to arrive, as I was quite excited to see what this world would show me.
Roger arrived just a bit before our agreed meeting time. We greeted each other, but after...
2023-07-06 11:55:09 +0000 UTC View PostThe trip to the goblin land was simple enough, but sneaking through the forest was a bit harder due to my size. I made a note to myself to come back here and practice until I regained my previous skill level.
I went straight to one of the scouts, where I had a small problem. They didn't recognize me immediately, but whe...

Once again, it took some time, but the constant work he...
2023-07-05 12:55:31 +0000 UTC View PostCompleting the armour only took three days, and I was incredibly pleased with it. I still needed to dye it, but I think I will let Emma do it. That would give her an excellent experience boost, and I didn’t have the dyeing skill like she did.
I then started to make my weapons: a single-handed sword, a knife, a dagger,...

"Hey, Luana, you're way too focused. Can you hear me, hello?" I suddenly felt someone's hand getting closer. This finally snapped me out of my hyper-focus on this book. I recalled that someone was calling my name. Looking up, I saw Adam. A smile came to my face.

2023-07-03 11:56:33 +0000 UTC View PostIt took me quite a while to get the floor looking the way I wanted. In fact, it took so long that I was over 10 rooms into my 8th floor. The most challenging part was figuring out the mountain overhangs, as they kept crumbling and falling down when they got too large.
To solve this, I needed to examine natural rock a bi...
