Vivienne stops her army just before they make it into extreme arrow range. She had no reason to fear the mages against her. She could easily defend against them but added attacks from arrows might prove dangerous. However even more dangerous was the man who stood far in front of his army with two other men. That made Vivienne...
2023-06-05 20:12:09 +0000 UTC View PostThe United Freeholds soldiers have been working hard for the past two days. When they arrived at this river bridge, they immediately started to set up a fortified camp like they were trained to.
With Vikings providing more muscle they were able to get everything done in record time but that didn't give them a chance for...
2023-06-02 13:55:32 +0000 UTC View PostI woke up late. While I was doing my wake-up stretches, I learned I weighed more so it took me a while to get used to my new weight. It looks like my subdermal armour upgrade seemed to have come with the small disadvantage of it weighing more.
The weight wasn’t too bad and honestly, I was getting kind of used to my bo...
2023-05-31 17:35:30 +0000 UTC View PostAfter thoroughly washing myself in the river I left my clothing and armour pieces to dry in the sun while I started to work on the corpses that I had gathered during my dungeon delve. I learned a few valuable lessons. I should always drain the blood out of the corpses before I put them into the bag otherwise the meat will be ...
2023-05-30 16:20:37 +0000 UTC View PostOn the seventh floor was the first time that I ran into a first-rank opponent, but it was a wolf instead of a beetle. It’s still died to my mace like all the creatures down here. To save time I placed the entire wolf corpse into my adventurer's backpack.
Having finally gotten a proper adventurer's backpack I was feeli...
2023-05-29 18:18:17 +0000 UTC View PostIt was nice to see Michael again but it was quite funny to see the guards being afraid of us. Protecting the refugees has strengthened our soldiers quite a lot so I wasn’t worried about any of the guards they brought causing any trouble during the negotiations. That gave me a perfect opportunity to take Bert and go on a wal...
2023-05-26 18:03:09 +0000 UTC View PostPOV Michael Frederick Dukenhime
I just finished inspecting one of the containers meant for the GreenWave village. Giving a nod to the workers, they secured the container for transport and moved it to the waiting platform. I was a bit nervous about this trade as the queen didn’t much like us trading with nations that s...
2023-05-25 18:40:21 +0000 UTC View PostWhen I gave the news of the salty river to the expedition, they were not certain how to feel about it. Not having drinkable water was a problem but we should also be able to make salt-gathering pools which would mean that salt will no longer be a limited resource for us.
By the end of the discussion, everyone was quite ...
2023-05-24 19:31:25 +0000 UTC View PostI was waiting for the expedition group in the early morning at the road crossing that headed towards George’s house. My mace and two-handed sword were in my tattoo storage with the rest of my regular items like my bow.
I was wearing standard leather gear that was already a bit short. For today’s weapon, I chose a sp...
2023-05-23 19:41:59 +0000 UTC View PostI had just opened the front door of the inn. I pushed the door open while taking a few steps back so Val’s family could see the inside of their new home. While Val and his wife were able to somewhat handle their emotions their kids could not.
Like so many others they had been driven from their home. During that time, ...
2023-05-22 18:49:59 +0000 UTC View PostThe young boy was scared he didn't want to lose a hand and my interruption stopped the judgement, giving him hope. “Benji was it, I’m guessing you have stolen from a young age even before you got the achievement page.” The boy quickly nodded, and I continued.
“On a busy street, you want to cut someone's coin pou...
2023-05-19 15:08:25 +0000 UTC View PostThe next morning after I finished some chores around the farm, I started my run towards the village. Val should already be at the market when I finish my non-ability run so finding him shouldn’t be a problem.
It was a sunny morning kind of reminding me of the hot summer we had. It will take about another month and a h...
2023-05-18 17:43:10 +0000 UTC View PostI ran straight back to my home and the first thing I noticed was the half-built inn that was just at the border of my land. Just 100 meters behind it was the dungeon entrance where there seemed to be quite a dispute. Everyone was quite worried about the dungeon entrance being closed and when they finally noticed me approachin...
2023-05-17 11:43:49 +0000 UTC View PostGoose was still trying to mess with me, but I focused on the corpse of the beetle. I was impressed that Goose was able to bisect it when I noticed how thick the armour plating was. A small test with my mace and I was happy to see that it cracked the armour meaning if I did a proper swing, I should be able to kill it easily. 2023-05-16 18:40:11 +0000 UTC View Post
I was running towards the beetle menace down south, but I was more focused on the sky where Goose was flying circles around me even while I was going at the top speed that the current terrain allowed me. Goose was like a living fighter jet especially now since he was first rank. The more his ability to control air improved th...
2023-05-16 18:23:16 +0000 UTC View PostI watched the assembled legion. Even now they looked quite impressive, but the numbers were still quite low. Most of the soldiers were in the regular legion unit with a spear and a shield. There were 40 archers and four ballistae operated by 20 soldiers. Currently, they were the only ones that had horses so they could take ev...

If there won't be a chapter release on weekdays I will notify that in discord. I was sick again and my health is bad so this might keep happening more. I will still try to write 5 chapters a week but I do not know how well I can keep to that schedule.

The next day I woke up quite late as I wanted s...
2023-05-11 15:54:43 +0000 UTC View PostI watched as a large piece of steel was heating up. This was going to be the head of my new two-handed mace. Looking around I saw a basically empty smithy as I hadn’t had any time to work on making tables or anything else useful. Even my hammers and tongs didn’t have any place and were just propped up against the forge. C...
2023-05-05 16:21:46 +0000 UTC View PostThe next morning was quite joyous as everyone prepared their own small gifts to take to Arthur. I made him a proper anvil for his gift and everyone else also made some other useful things that he currently didn’t have.
France helped bring everything as we also had quite a lot of alcohol. We now had older people who wa...
2023-05-04 16:25:55 +0000 UTC View PostI started to test my construction sight. At first, it was just easier to notice things that weren't made by nature but continuing to play around with this sight, it also pointed out some mistakes that would have made the water wheel stronger and last longer, the same with the smithy building. It was a bit annoying that I coul...
2023-05-04 16:25:15 +0000 UTC View PostTo finish this smithy and water wheel combination build I still needed to do quite a lot of work. While the main building was done giving me almost 30 square meters of free floor space with a high ceiling and walls made out of stone, I still haven’t started on the water wheel and its supporting structures. Beyond that, I wi...
2023-05-02 18:31:56 +0000 UTC View PostIt took me a bit to find the cook who accepted my job offer at a food stall selling some sort of meat skewers and a few other food items. He looked quite well-built with a short beard but kind eyes. He spoke as soon he saw me. “My name is Val it's a pleasure to meet you in person Rich Dirt. Your job offer was quite interest...
2023-05-01 18:40:10 +0000 UTC View PostEverything went as expected but after 10 level-ups I haven’t found anything of use. The offered skills or abilities just didn't excite me, so I kept taking the stat points every time I levelled. My training plan required me to just take energy storage stat points so now every point that I was gaining went into energy storag...
2023-04-28 11:04:10 +0000 UTC View PostThe run through the swamp and forest was uneventful, the only issue was that I had to slow down so I could regain some of my energy. I could already feel my training plan development ability wanting a steady stream of energy so it could recalculate my training plan with the latest improvements I have gained.
Not wanting...
2023-04-27 16:06:25 +0000 UTC View PostThe dungeon started to become a lot more fun when I reached the floor with first-rank challenges. Until floor seven I was still able to quite easily handle everything but after that, I actually needed to start thinking and not just rushing in. Slowly my abilities and skills levelled while I was also constantly learning to fig...
2023-04-26 19:32:32 +0000 UTC View PostMy internal clock says that I’ve slept for quite a while. Looking at the sky it seems that it's well past morning. As the fight ended well before it got dark, I truly have slept for quite a while. My regular energy reserves were almost full, but my core energy was only about 1/3 full. I should take it easy for at least toda...
2023-04-25 19:08:18 +0000 UTC View PostI didn’t exactly know how far away the presumed fight had happened, but I thought I was about halfway there when I saw something that I hadn’t before. There was a group of young fire salamanders, really young. They were running like death was after them and I guess it was as older-looking fire salamanders hunted them down...
2023-04-24 19:51:08 +0000 UTC View PostIt only took me four more hours to find another first-tier opponent. Sneaking up on it using stealth I was able to get a critical attack which allowed me to end the fight quite fast. The monsters are usually a lot larger and stronger than their beast counterparts, so the first-tier fire salamander beast was a lot smaller and ...
2023-04-21 08:32:56 +0000 UTC View PostDon't know how long it will be until I feel good enough to write hopefully not long.
2023-04-17 13:22:59 +0000 UTC View PostWhen Stebs Soot left I felt that I had enough social interaction to be able to fight for the next week. I needed to hunt quite a lot according to my training plan and luckily thanks to Stebs Soot I had an area rich with targets.
The goblins had ranged quite far looking for other goblin tribes, but they didn't find anyon...
