Turns out, he did NOT have a map. Which, given that it was private property and had been built a century or two ago, wasn’t surprising. So we had to go and case the place ourselves. Finding it was pretty easy, but on arrival, we ran into the obv...

2024-11-26 00:27:53 +0000 UTC View PostThe next day was pretty quiet. I’d slept in the Heart, and upon waking, gotten my wishes stocked up in the ring. I’d considered using them, but honestly, given the million point end goal, if I forced myself to tick down the stats day by day I...
2024-11-22 23:55:51 +0000 UTC View Post“This is the coolest thing I’ve ever seen,” said Ray bluntly as we pushed through the hanging flower vines, stepping into the house. I’d taken to calling it the Heart of the Forest, because it was what popped into my head when I made it, a...
2024-11-22 00:36:06 +0000 UTC View PostArchie’s fight with the Queen wasp was pretty spectacular. Lots of fire and screeching, though the purification didn’t seem to hurt ALL of the wasp, just parts of it. Archie had other weapons, namely very sharp D-rank talons and very fast wing...
2024-11-21 00:53:01 +0000 UTC View Post“Well, that didn’t take long,” Vesper said casually as the fog cleared. I had two minutes left on my timer, but it occurred to me wasting it on random larvae MIGHT be a poor use of my resources. In my defense, I’d been bored and it had see...
2024-11-20 00:41:17 +0000 UTC View PostRather than just grind wishes and relax, the next day I decided to check in with the others (though I did store my eight scrolls in the ring before I left) . Vesper, Ray, Desria, and all my friends from the first round had been busy with their own...
2024-11-18 22:49:30 +0000 UTC View PostI woke up with a headache. Again. I grimaced, massaging my head. This was becoming a fucking habit again, and I wasn’t excited about it. I sat up with a groan, looking around…and noticed I could see. Which was objectively better than before I...
2024-11-16 00:00:50 +0000 UTC View PostThe activation of Gluttony changed the game. Aside from torn muscles from the electrocution, I hadn’t realized how much fucking FATIGUE had build up on my climb. Every step drove me deeper into pain and exhaustion, and I’d been staggering up t...
2024-11-14 21:59:12 +0000 UTC View PostI arrived at the trial relatively early. Even strolling, I’d given myself plenty of time, and this one wasn’t too far away. When I got there, I was pleased to see Harper, Elena, and Mnemosyne had already arrived, and were standing talking to t...
2024-11-14 00:43:02 +0000 UTC View PostWe had five days until the next trial, and I spent them practicing with my new mask. There was a whole binding ritual where I had to bleed on it, then dance around it, then sing it a song…I was pretty sure at least half of that was Zeke fucking ...
2024-11-12 21:32:12 +0000 UTC View PostThe next day I got in touch with Zeke. As our resident master Enchanter (sort of) he was the first person I needed to talk to about my idea to offset the soul strain from my pseudo Domains. I hadn’t considered it before really because it seemed ...
2024-11-12 00:45:46 +0000 UTC View PostThe descending platform was invisible, naturally, but it was also powerful enough to warp the air, which kind of defeated the purpose of that first part. The final effect was a bit like I imagine you would get if you tried to crush someone under a...

2024-11-09 00:29:12 +0000 UTC View PostThe next five days were pretty mundane. Almost boring, to be honest. Physical combat practice with my apprentice, Life Nova baths with the clones, Life Nova infusion with the egg. Rinse. Repeat. If I had to hit something with a stick one more time...
2024-11-08 00:48:59 +0000 UTC View PostAura awakens, and being an overachiever, a semblance too.
2024-11-07 21:36:43 +0000 UTC View PostI was feeling much better after my Life Nova bath. My muscles were pleasantly invigorated and rejuvenated, and I had plenty of energy to burn off, even though my soul was still fragile. The feeling of being energized and exhausted at the same time...
2024-11-07 00:49:30 +0000 UTC View PostBernadette and Elena were waiting downstairs. Just in case there was some kind of candidate specific information being kept secret, I sent Bella to wait in the dining room before entering the library to meet them. I was a little surprised Elena wa...
