I spent the rest of that night resting as much as I could after my conversation with the Regressor. Thankfully what he required wasn’t too far off from what I planned to do in the first place, and I only had to slightly modify my initial plans to fit his instructions. I awoke the next, well, night I guess, since morning doe...

I wanted to head out of this place immediately, but then I looked at my pitiful Luck Charges and thought otherwise. Again I started to feel the limitations of the regeneration rate, 1/minute was just so slow.
Luck Charges: 7/405

Noe, I screamed in my head, I thought you said that you took over function from the Trash Matrix, how come you’re not blocking these stupid titles?
“I am sorry, my Host,” it said, and for the first time I could hear sadness - clear, distinct sadness - in its otherwise androgynous voice, “But I ...

The village chief, as it turned out, was a relatively normal woman by most standards. Sure she was grossly deformed like the rest of the people here, with a huge tumor that caused the left side of her face to be twice as wide as the right, or the fact that she only had 4 functioning fingers left, but at least she still had mo...

I finished the last of Vadeem’s “makeup” and started to second-guess my initial plans. Originally, I wanted to make him look fierce, like a wild beast ready to destroy all in his plan, which required me to make some adjustments to his appearance. Unfortunately, since all we had on hand was some paint, a dozen or so smal...

Archbishop Patar oversaw today’s sacrifice of the Blind in satisfaction, smiling as the ignorant heretics who denied the consuming Truth burned in sacred fire. Their wails of pain and pleads of mercy fell on deaf ears, and his congregation watched on in stony silence. He still had a rare moment of respite before his schedul...

I sat down on a fallen log and really took the time to think about my current rate of growth as I waited for Vadeem to finish stuffing his face. As I said before, I couldn’t rely solely on Noe’s luck skill to survive these ever increasingly dangerous situations, but what else could I do when it was abundantly apparent tha...

Vadeem and I had scouted the area around us to the best of our abilities, and aside from the eternally smothering darkness and gloom, the forest around us seemed normal, at least to my eyes. Then again, I grew up in the big city, so I knew next to nothing about environments like this.

“I hope everyone had a delightful rest in these last 7 days,” Raffiel continued, “But it is that time once again to begin the next stage of your Ascension.”
My new comrades and I stopped what we were doing to focus on the information. The anticipation of a new challenge was starting to affect me as well, and I w...
