Roberto answered the door, towel over his shoulders, hair still wet, and a knowing grin on his lips. “I had a feeling you’d show up,” he teased.
“You know me well, Rob.” He waited for his cousin to invite him in, not wanting to be too forward.

The cliffs themselves were riddled with holes, caverns home to the lizards. Wherever there was sunlight, Roth could spot rock lizards basking in the sun's rays. He had made it to Rock Lizard Lair.

2024-04-02 10:37:52 +0000 UTC View PostHi, everyone!
I just wanted to let you know that I originally wrote about a race called 'rock salamanders', but after more research, I concluded that salamanders would never live in the desert. Therefore, I changed the race to 'rock lizards.' All of the previous references to salamanders have been altered accordingly.
Thank you!

Just as he suspected, Ruth got him a much better price for his gear. His broker skill, [Supplier’s Loyalty], was a big reason for this.

Hello, my dear friends,
I realized yesterday that today is the anniversary of the start of my writing career! One year ago, I posted my first chapter on Royal Road.
So much has happened over the last year. I wrote eight books in total. Hidden Class: Pacifist volumes 1-4, Snap Craft 1&2, Planet Ignis and Ambyssus.
Additionally, I got three books signed for audiobook with Po...

He had read online that there was a special reward the first time he obtained ten As in a row. Sadly, it hadn’t been his time yet. But given how easy it w...
2024-03-29 13:41:53 +0000 UTC View PostRoth sat at the trading square of Sapphira’s auction house and, for the tenth time, checked the Leafies status window, ensuring they were OK. Nothing had changed. The number of eggs and larvae had slightly increased, meaning they were active. He wished he could get the clock to tick faster so that those gardeners would leave and he could talk to his colony.
Nevertheless, he couldn’t d...

At least five of them tended to the different herbs and plants in the garden. Several players observed the commotion from his side of the glass and chatted excitedly.
“Nyah friend ants meow, alright?” Roth heard Lin ask from within his robes.

Maggie paused to organize her thoughts and give Roth time to take notes. She then shared the options she had considered. “One, I would bathe the trap in diffuse light.”

The limitations of his ecotailor profession were halting his dream of simultaneously leveling up his crafting professions. To be fair, his conscience wouldn’t allow him to use regular leather even if there weren't such a profession. Although he could probably circumvent th...

The nicest adjective Jack could think of for the inside of the beginner shop was ‘clean.’ The shop was a seemingly empty home. There wasn’t even a counter, but only a table with some different wares on it. Why it was so packed with players baffled Jack. The rusty wares on display were hardly worth such commotion.
