Ch 69 (Side story continued)

The next morning. Cassie woke up to a cold chill. 

She reached out and stretched her arms wide in a yawn. 

Andrew and Cassie had stayed up most the night talking. She loved those nights. She loved how much her husband cared. 

Speaking of her husband. She rolled over. Andrew's side of the bed w...

Ch 68 (Side story)

Cassie barely registered her own footsteps as she walked back home.

The air felt too heavy. The world too empty.

She had just given up everything. Hadn’t she?

Maybe it was for the best. Jordan was a good enough man. It wasn’t like she could lead on her own.

She was never supposed to lead. That was ...

Ch 67

While the others looted, I ran straight to Elise.

I grabbed her shoulders. “Tell me we didn’t lose anyone.”

She looked up at me with a sheepish smile. “We didn’t lose anyone.”

I let out a breath. “Thank Goodness.”

“How bad were the injuries?” I asked, steadying myself.

She til...

Ch 66

As the timer wound down, I stepped closer to the frontline. This fight had the potential to push some of the wolves over the threshold for their class evolution, and I knew that Sadie and Xander were on the cusp of evolving as well.

Since being freed, they were the only two from their group who had consistently joined o...

ch 65

Ellison believed raid portals would open in the nearest controlled territory, meaning the first wave would hit our village’s starting point—the clearing where it all began.

I don’t love it. The idea of battles happening this close to home made me uneasy. 

As Jared and I neared the clearing, we discussed...

ch 64

After leaving Jessica’s shop Jared continues his tour of the faction. 

The village had grown far beyond what I’d expected. Infrastructure was developing, enchantments were making life easier, and our people were growing stronger.

But none of that mattered if we couldn’t defend it.

I glance at the ...

Ch 63

After a week of grinding levels, faction LM’s village had transformed again. Even from a distance, the changes were impossible to ignore. More houses stretched toward the mountain slopes, their log-and-stone structures blending into the terrain. The dirt roads were vanishing beneath carefully laid cobblestone, giving the pl...

ch 62

The next anomaly teaches us a few important lessons. Most importantly? Durkil was an absolute monster.

With his new armor, he tears through enemy ranks with reckless abandon, a walking force of nature. We actually have to hold him back so others can get kills and gain experience.

The same could be said of all our ...

Ch 61

At our speed, it only takes an hour to reach the next anomaly.

Ellison is already there waiting.

He spots us immediately and waves us over.

“Layton! You made it.”

I jog over. “Yeah, dungeon cleared. No losses. We even had a perfect run.”

Ellison’s eyes flick over our group, landing on X...

Ch 60

It caught me off guard when the last three slavers turned and bolted. 

But in the end, it only made things easier for Durkil, Daevon, Nick, and Alex.

I’d been careful throughout the fight, tracking which of the lizards had used advanced spells. I left them alive just long enough for my friends to land the f...

Ch 59 Ahhhh the dreaded perspective shift

Sadie had been driving when it happened.

One second, she was gripping the wheel, rehearsing how she’d break up with her boyfriend.

The next—poof.  The tutorial had ripped her away mid-thought, dropping her into a nightmare.

But that wasn’t the worst part. The worst part was what came after.

...

Ch 58

The plan per the usual–is simple. Nick, Daevon, Durkil, and Alex would engage while I provide support with barriers, buffs and heals if necessary.

Meanwhile, Mischief would stay hidden, ensuring no one escaped to alert the other camps. Surprisingly Mischief was very excited for his role, hoping that several would try ...

Ch 57

The march toward power doesn’t slow. If anything, it accelerates.

The next anomaly? Disappointing.

A lake. Massive mutated fish with stumpy disgusting legs. That was weird.

At first, I thought we’d have to fight in the water—a logistical nightmare. But then the damn things scurried out on...

Ch 56

Plowing through the crowd I join the rest of Faction LM and take my spot in a support role. Elise already has things well in hand before I even arrive. 

At level 15 she chose the exact same barrier spell I use. It doesn’t quite meet the same standards and she can’t cover quite so many at once but it’s a great...

Ch 55

I step through the portal and Everything changes. Like with dungeons, I can see the evidence we’re in the same place—but it’s not the same.

The once green trees full of life are dead rotting husks. The sky is gray and suffocating.

Instead of the thick underbrush of shrubs and grass the ground is barren. One ...

Ch 54

No one hesitates. Everyone can sense the urgency of preparing for six raids hitting our territory. 

The fighters gather–together we total well over 100. I empty my storage. First I start by laying out the weapons I’ve collected from the past fights. By the time we sort through it, everyone is equipped with some...

Ch 53 (still needs more work but here is what I have let me know your thoughts Por Favor)

There is work to be done. But before we get to it there are still some questions that don’t make sense to me. 

“Okay, I’m with you so far,” I say, leaning forward, “but couldn’t a higher-level faction cheat the system?” I consider a few ways I might even try it.

“Like, get a lower-level guy to...
