After making sure that his wound had healed, Michael swapped Cleansing for Illumination. Now with much better visibility, he approached the separated parts that composed the corpse of the dark elf. Lith’s leather armor had been overcome and split apart, the claw marks now marred by the Mana Sphere’s effects. He looked at the elf’s face.
Clear white, glowing tears kept flowing out of...

They gathered up, becoming thicker and creating a veil of darkness, but they didn’t approach him. It was evidence that the Curse, at least this close to the outer edge, couldn’t cope with Illumination.
Things might change the deeper I go. 2024-10-16 23:54:40 +0000 UTC View Post
Michael walked out of the Village and looked up. The blue glow of Bluestone’s Territory shone brightly. His gaze moved to his surroundings. Silently, he beheld the underground. It was as expansive as ever. The gigantic stone columns held up the ceiling, adorned with glowing mushrooms of varying sizes. The walls, outcroppings, and small hills created what was virtually a maze.
His Dragon...
2024-10-14 22:35:54 +0000 UTC View PostWith Tairy’s advice, Michael went through the second Skills selection, acquiring the Skills he discussed with the old dark elf and other Passive Skills that looked useful. Then, the merging process began. The number of Skill Points fell as his Status Window changed. Passive Skills were merged, and then he utilized the result for more merging. It was the benefit of having so many Skill Po...
2024-10-11 22:51:15 +0000 UTC View PostTairy raised two fingers.
“Your first selection will be the one you got at Level 30. The second one will be the Level 40 one. This is important because it means that in the first selection, only your actions taken until Level 30 are taken into account. The second selection will include everything you did from Level 30 to 40.”
Michael nodded. If this weren’t the case, there wou...
2024-10-07 22:57:06 +0000 UTC View PostThe room went silent for a few moments. A man tentatively spoke up.
“Olivia is right. Didn’t he fight his way through all of Lohann’s hideouts? I don’t want to be his enemy, especially when he could continue to be an ally.”
Allison sat back down. Viktor carefully observed her expression, almost nodding to himself as he realized she was now calmer. Truthfully, he had antici...
2024-10-07 22:56:21 +0000 UTC View PostThe Mana Field spread out to its maximum size, before abruptly contracting. There was no need for it to be so large; there was only one enemy. With this in mind, Michael tried to focus the Field into a single general area. The air vibrated as the whirlpool of mana rotated. The Failed Chimera immediately slowed down. A realization struck him.
It’s not enough.
The crea...
2024-10-07 22:55:17 +0000 UTC View PostMichael’s face was distorted into a frown. He stared at the System message floating in front of him.
[Labyrinth: find the exit before time runs out.]
Below it, another three-hour timer counted down. He spun in place, taking in his surroundings. They were reminiscent of the Lizard Labyrinth Dungeon; high walls stretched towards the ceiling, adorned with glowing mushrooms and makesh...
2024-10-07 22:54:28 +0000 UTC View PostIt happened with only the roar as a warning. With surprising speed for its size that was reminiscent of the Mushroom Warriors, the Mole King rushed into the fray, jumping over the smaller moles and hitting Michael like a freight train. Due to the sheer difference in weight class, he flew backwards. Yet, his mind was calm.
It’s strong, but I think I can face it in a physical brawl. 2024-10-07 22:53:36 +0000 UTC View Post
Michael cast Shroud and entered the molehill. It was a type of precaution. He didn’t know how many moles still remained within the hill and had no reason to risk getting overwhelmed by sheer numbers. The moles were stronger than Lohann’s brainwashed warriors. If there were hundreds of them, it could prove to be troublesome. Outside, he had defeated over a hundred. It wasn’t far-fetched to...
2024-10-04 22:39:00 +0000 UTC View PostMichael immediately thought of the moles that had almost killed him before he awakened to his draconic blood. He had been able to defeat one of them, but once two came at him at the same time, it had almost been the end. He had defeated them, only to face a grizzly bear. His awakening had saved him. He had no reason to be afraid of the moles with his current strength, but the memory was still c...
2024-10-04 22:19:58 +0000 UTC View PostMichael sat at a table in a large dining hall. Other people sat next to him, eating with gusto. The food was as varied as the size of the portions; some ate only bread and water, while others experienced lavish meals. The young man took note of this. The disparity between the different Villager Ranks was only made more obvious by the Territory Wars. The strong achieved much and scaled the ladde...
2024-10-04 21:55:57 +0000 UTC View PostThere were one and a half months left to the Tutorial. Was it because he couldn’t afford to waste any more time? Michael felt that the days of training went by slowly. Relentlessly, he practiced the Skills Tairy was already familiar with. After some time, he pretended to have learned Earth Spike and Fireball and began their training as well.
Michael sat on the enchanted stone dais, wear...
2024-10-04 21:30:42 +0000 UTC View PostMichael’s face was calm. His arms were crossed as he nodded. He spoke to Tairy, who sat on the stone dais in front of him.
“As expected, the answer isn’t to Level up.”
The old dark elf nodded. He stood up from the dais, moving to its side, and spoke.
“Understanding one’s weapons is even more important than creating more.”
He knew his teacher was right. His ...
2024-10-04 21:29:00 +0000 UTC View PostIn a sea of raging red and orange fire, a single woman floated alone. The boundless inferno burned amidst a black void, forming a spherical shape. It was a star. The woman floated in its very heart. She blinked, her long red eyelashes momentarily covering the two bright orange eyes, which looked like twin suns. The orange irises were as beautiful as they were wondrous. Her face and body were be...
