GH - 218

I whipped out my musical instrument and played my lone song spell, wrapping my body with another barrier on top of [Greater Pyro Shell]. The buffs of my rings kicked in as I stood still. I wasn’t stupid to think I could survive RailGunLord’s attack. But I wanted him to believe I did so he’d continue his plan to get up close and personal to deliver the coup de grace.

GH - 217

Don’t follow me, you bastard. I imagined myself a psychic, broadcasting my thoughts to RailGunLord, wherever he may be. Stay there with Mama Bear!

The action, the challenge, the audience, all of that were back there. In contrast, I was a low-level player and Oyi Oso wasn’t an event monster—not much worth killing it. Why would RailGunLord bother to chase me?

O...

I lifted Deen’s head and kissed her; just going for the basics first. Her eyes closed, and she kept on mumbling my name as our lips met, seemingly oblivious to what I was doing to her. I tried tonguing her, but she was just babbling as if in a trance.

Her strokes became more furious, her moans of my name, louder. I grabbed her breasts and massaged them, not really knowing what I was sup...

ExD - 5.23.6

“No, I’m not going to do that, you weirdo,” I sternly told Deen.

It was her fetish and I did decide to go along with her bullshit, but I was genuinely irritated at being treated like a kid because of my height and looks. The older I got, the more annoying it became. The occasional jokes were fine; being made to actually play the part like sitting on a lap was crossing it.

“Come out and fight me!” I made my voice sound desperate and frustrated as I faced the road.

That’d force him to appear behind me, up the hills. He had fewer tunnels back there. Fewer issues of getting lost underground if I followed him.

I detected movement in the corner of my eye; I immediately rushed toward it like a hunter hunting prey. Like, duh, what was a hunter...

REND - 6.27

Only the gentle whoosh of the wind answered.

“No need to be scared.” I held my arms wide open. “I’m not going to fight you. We have something to talk about, you know? Come out already.”

The blaring horns of a distant car filled the silence that followed. Someone was having an unpleasant encounter on the road.

I wanted the dramatic confrontation to begin already. Many...

REND - 6.26

I could hear the gears grinding in Theo the Trash’s head. I gambled that he wasn’t high up in the 2Ms’ organization enough to know my true identity.

To his mind, I was an Adumbrae—stronger than him, at that—and part of the 2Ms’ organization. Same as Yara, that was the most logical conclusion Theo could reach. Strength didn’t always indicate seniority or importance in the org...

“What do you mean?” asked Megan. “It’s a cloven hoof.”

“Cloven?” asked Nitana. “How do you know that word? Are you some farm girl?”

“I used to spend summers at my uncle's farm in Buttonquail. Cloven hooves have two separate halves on each foot, compared to horses with a solid one. Those two hooves thingies are called claws, which means… cows, goats, and pigs ar...

GH - 215

“We’re going to enter PvP zones?” I asked as we picked up the pace.

The sound of our hooves alternated between soft thumps when mushing through fluffy snow and hard clops when stepping on something very solid. The trail we treaded seemed to be an ancient road, with grayish cracked blocks peeking through the snow in certain places. Remnants of olden Mardukryon statues, those that had...

“If you look to your right,” Nitana energetically said as if she were a tour guide, “you’ll see the site where the vicious Megantress sentenced dozens of harmless trees to a fiery death because she wanted an ice wand that she ended up not using anyway.”

“They’re not harmless,” Megan said. “They can cast spells and whip their branches at you. Those hurt, you know? The onl...

GH - 213

“RailGunLord…” I read the name above the body of the Blade Stalker.

The mini-boss deflated like a collapsed circus tent as it oozed silvery liquid. Did it not have any solid innards? Its crystal scales lost their shimmer and reflectiveness, turning dull like fogged-up glass. The timer below the asshole Pathfinder’s name counted down to the Blade Stalker’s revival, confirming it ...

I pointed to the side of the room. “Deen, do you know what that is?”

“What? The curtains? The window?”

“The window. Very good that you know what it is.”

“Erind, what are you—?”

“Do you know what a window is for?”

Deen placed her hands on her hips. “Okay, whatever. I’ll play along. A window gives you a view of the outside, or the outside a ...

ExD - 5.23.4

I wouldn’t be surprised if I suddenly shot lasers out of my eyes with how hard I glared at Deen. She winked at me before looking back at Mom and listening to her stories. Deen continued to trace her toe up and down my leg beneath the table. I subtly moved my leg to the side, but Deen could still reach me. Mom would notice if I moved too much.

“Erind is a plain girl,” Mom began to sa...

(A/N: Just an extra REND chapter. 2 ExDs after this.)

It was amusing seeing Yara fumble her words as she introduced herself to Deen. Was she intimidated? My view of Yara as a haughty, nose-in-the-air, mean girl type from our first interaction could be wrong. She might be normally pleasant and just woke up on the wrong side of the bed back then.

We called the waitress to order—surf...

“Wow, there are soooo many yachts,” I said while taming my long hair whipped into a frenzy by the sea breeze.

It was the next day, and the tender ship that fetched us from the cruise ship made its way to the shores of Catalina Island, bouncing gently over the waves. The other passengers and I gazed at the waters accented with lots of parked boats mostly organized into rows. I...

Yara blinked. Then she looked around. No one else I could’ve been talking to. Turning back to me, she softly said, “Uh, hello. I’m Yara. Pleased to meet you.” She gave me a little nod, almost a bow.

A weird reaction. If I didn’t know Yara had only one living sibling, her brother, I would’ve thought the person I was speaking to was her twin or something. When I inadvertently me...

“Take cover!” I shouted. “It’s going to attack!”

The [Lvl 55 Forgotten Blade Stalker] dove through a clump of trees, surprisingly fitting its gigantic body through the tight space like a cockroach slotting into a tiny crack. It was seeking a clearer shot at us.

No, not at us. At the youngling players with me.

Why did it want them so badly?

Upon landing...

GH - 211

We parted ways with Merl’s group on somewhat cordial terms, the agreed-upon alliance was upheld with modifications. If we met each other again during the Great Hunt, there’d be no hard feelings if one group stole the kill of another. I could sense they wanted a rematch. Their tank was especially miffed that I managed to taunt away the monster he was supposed to hold for his party. However, ...

“You’re asking if I can heal this monster?” Melonomi looked up at the Alpha Cragodon.

“I can only target party mates with my Healing Touch,” I said. “Says ‘allies’ in the description. Most support skills work the same way. But what about your health potion cast? I’m assuming you can throw it at anyone or anywhere you like. And since it’s a health potion…”

“...

GH - 209

I maintained a distance of about five meters to the side of the Cragodons. But it was still dangerous business. As the Cragodons plowed the forest, trunks came down like guillotine blades, and broken branches and leaves became a blizzard. I tried to avoid the thicker trees—they could probably hurt me. But even the smaller ones could trip me, so I had to be careful with my steps. The shaking g...

Since it wasn’t nighttime yet, and it was super unlikely that the ships going to Red Island would leave, Dario decided we should all try to find out the possible time and date they’d depart. I knew the date but not the time, so I was up for it. Tailing possible Red Island goers was the key. For now, the ‘recognizable’ people we were sure would join the trip were Bianca and the McHunters...

ExD - 5.23.3

I blinked in surprise. Not sure what answer I expected, but it wasn’t that. “Wha-what?”

Deen leaned forward. I thought she was going to kiss me, but she didn’t. Our lips half an inch away, she said, “I want to make you cum. Is it that hard to understand, Erind? Want me to spell it? C-U—?”

“I’m not a child, Deen. I know what you’re talking about,” I interjected,...

Passing down the gift of the Ancestor Dragon? What did that mean?

However, that might not be the correct question. Hiero should be asking what was the goal of whoever was showing him an alternate future. Specifically, this future where he had descendants, not that he ever considered making any, and where everything seemed to have turned out… fine.

Many a tale about wander...

GH - 208

All of their skills combined into a barrier of flames. The thick sheets of snow hit it. There was a permeating hiss that swallowed all other sounds. The snow melted and turned it into steam in an instant, more like an explosion. Mist rolled through the Frost Imp camp, engulfing us. Everywhere was white. I couldn’t see my teammates other than their health bars.

The grumble of the avalanc...

ExD - 5.23.2

Though my expression and tone were angry, I tapped Deen’s nose to show I was messing with her. Whisking her emotions was my new hobby after all. She must be having whiplash, teetering on whether everything was alright between us or not.

“I was going to say…” Deen slowly spoke, staring cross-eyed down at my finger on her nose. “Given our history, I have more reason to be...

ExD - 5.23.1

I briskly walked through the line of stores. I smirked when I saw a shirt with the words “I survived La Esperanza!” It didn’t have anything else on it, other than splatters of blood, but everyone should know what it was about. They allowed such a distasteful shirt to be sold? And in the airport of all places? I slowed down to check out more of the shop’s offerings, hoping there would be...

“Carefully… Don’t make noise,” I whispered as I helped Reo get on the cart while still on his knees and holding out his arms. Not a comfortable task in this cramped space.

“I didn’t know there was a cart in this room,” said Reo.

“They probably use it to move these boxes containing whatever.” I couldn’t help but widely grin when Reo bumped his knees on the side of...

Reo Hinode (Oberon) – Part 2

Reo Hinode closed his eyes and stretched his arms. His hands brushed the walls of the small room on both sides. Fortunately, there was enough space for his ‘pose’. Such a stupid power he got from the artificial Core. He chased away memories of dumbass tests he had done until he got how his power worked.

Time to be Oberon, the king ...

“If we wipe out all the Frost Imp camps,” I said, “their leader will appear and we can kill it for Ichor, isn’t that right?”

“Yep,” said Megan. “That’s what Nitana and I did.”

“Same as me,” said Paritor.

“So… how can we do that if they’re not here?” I wondered.

We stood at the mouth of the Frost Imp camp nearest to the waypoint Totem of th...
