2024-03-02 07:07:11 +0000 UTC View PostNot every ambush was as successful as the first few. For one thing, the goblins were still bronze rank. Will and Caiyeri weren’t always able to get the jump on them, and any time they had the ability to mount an actual defense, the two of them w...
2024-03-01 15:17:57 +0000 UTC View PostIn order to descend the levels, Caiyeri and Will were going to have to find one of a limited set of staircases. They didn’t show up on the minimaps at long range, but the elf had an old map that guided them.
They headed south, which, thank...

Name: William Li-Brown
Level: Unformed 12
Race: Human
Class: None
As it turned out, the fastest way to increase his stats was to fight. Repeatedly.
In Will’s current state, that meant getting the living shit beat out of him—again, repeatedly.
Caiyeri gave him almost no time between bouts. The sto...
2024-03-01 15:14:36 +0000 UTC View PostThankfully, Will didn’t pass out this time. Maybe the repeated beatings had gotten to him, but even though his entire status diagram was flashing various shades of yellow and orange, he didn’t feel quite so bad as he had the last time he’d w...
2024-03-01 15:13:54 +0000 UTC View PostIn Will’s admittedly limited experience, a level increase was a more effective form of healing than any of his potions could dream of being. He gasped as the pain in his leg sharpened for a brief moment, but then the tingle of magical healing re...

The Escape Artist passive could eventually turn out to be a problem for him if he decided to wear a bunch of ...
2024-03-01 15:10:36 +0000 UTC View PostWill had to wonder why a massive spider would have a key on it, but when he looted its body, he understood.

Will was unbelievably glad that he’d decided to save his use of the Chaos Transfer skill. The corruption condition was incredibly powerful—it caused immense pain, lowered every stat with time, worsened injuries, and could lead to death if unre...
2024-03-01 15:08:45 +0000 UTC View PostEcstatic energy surged through Will’s system as his sight returned to normal. Coming down from the high of the first level-up had been a trip. Six was what he imagined taking MDMA might be like.
Apparently, exiting the safe zone for less t...
2024-03-01 15:08:07 +0000 UTC View PostWill got the rundown of the place as the number of goblins outside steadily increased. He really wished he had more to work with, but beggars couldn’t be choosers. Not that he planned to beg, but there were quite a few goblins out there preventi...

He continued typing up the final report f...
