Pleased with his Profession and eager to start training his new skills a little later in the day, Nick turned his attention to his equipment, making sure that each item was properly maintained and ready to use in an emergency.
He ran his fingertips across his Flask of Restoration, smiling at the memory of sprinting through the item vault to claim it, then spent a few minutes repacking the...
2025-05-26 17:00:08 +0000 UTC View PostWhen Edge overpowered the Gardener’s domain, the rain ceased to fall, leaving his view of the chamber clear.
Half of the remaining monsters had either drowned during the deluge or bled out after being shredded by the bamboo’s lethal thorns. The rest were cowering within the ruins—the desire for mayhem beaten out of them while enduring the merciless downpour.
His team was still...
2025-05-26 17:00:08 +0000 UTC View PostWhen Nick awoke, the sky was just starting to lighten with the coming of dawn—a hint of navy blue bleeding through the blackness blanketing the stars.
By this point in his adventures, waking up in a treetop with strange constellations scrawled across the heavens didn’t even faze him. After taking a long look around to make sure nothing hostile was lurking in the woods, Nick turned his...
2025-05-23 17:00:04 +0000 UTC View Post“Watch out!” Setna cried. “The Gardener is joining the fight.”
The crew let loose with ranged attacks, including Edge’s chakram, but the boss raised its shield and deflected them with contemptuous ease. It advanced without breaking its stride—inexorable as the turning of the seasons.
He could sense an incredible concentration of mana burning in its reactor—more magic t...
2025-05-23 17:00:04 +0000 UTC View PostThe monsters filling the boss’s chamber exploded into motion as its magic took control, replacing their reason with bloodthirst and rage.
They sprang for the closest creature and started tearing each other apart, showing no hesitation whatsoever. On the far side of the enclosure, one of the prisoners seemed unaffected by the Gardener’s magic—due to some manner of defensive skill or ...
2025-05-22 17:00:06 +0000 UTC View PostGood to know. Nick closed his display and returned his attention to the Bladewind Badlands.
By now, the sun was dipping toward the ocean, and the moon was rising along the horizon. No. Not moon, he corrected himself. Moons.
The first orb was Luna—the silver moon that he had known all his life. It looked the same as always, and he could catalogue its feat...
2025-05-21 17:00:08 +0000 UTC View PostThe last slice of the Savage Garden was more spacious than Edge had anticipated—about the size of two football fields lying side by side. It was ringed by the towering bamboo that formed the walls of the dungeon, creating an arena for the showdown that would momentarily ensue.
“This is the heart of the town that’s spread across the islands,” One-Eye observed. “These buildings we...
2025-05-21 17:00:06 +0000 UTC View PostThat wasn’t even remotely close to how Edge expected One-Eye to finish his sentence.
Despite the gravity of the moment, he laughed. “You’re saying that I just utter a please and thank you, you’ll step out the way and let me walk on by?”
“That’s exactly what I’m saying.” One-Eye chuckled. “I’m supposed to kill you and tracking you across the dungeon has been an ...
2025-05-20 17:00:08 +0000 UTC View PostOnce Nick reached the bottom of the hill, he picked out a path and started jogging.
The level terrain offered adequate traction and was open enough that he could see trouble coming well before it arrived. In short, it was a perfect place to take his newly-evolved body for a test drive.
Nick had gotten a taste of what he could do during his battle with the Guardian, but he had been t...
2025-05-19 17:00:08 +0000 UTC View PostThe threat was punctuated by the chill of steel pressing against his throat. Edge didn’t sense any Disruption running through the blade and could Shadow Step away if he wanted to. Instead, he let his polearm fall to the ground and went perfectly still.
A convict would have slit his throat rather than issuing a warning, which could only mean one thing. When he glanced down at the arm hol...
2025-05-19 17:00:08 +0000 UTC View PostWhen Nick’s pod came to a stop, it vanished with a pop that set his ears ringing.
The moment that his boots touched the ground, it finally hit him. He. Was. Home.
After enduring his survival tutorial on the Searing Isle, braving the dangers of Blackmist Bog, and overcoming the challenges of climbing the Tower of Rizzen, Nick was back.
He t...
2025-05-16 17:00:07 +0000 UTC View PostBefore he relocated and began preparing for his showdown with the dungeon’s boss, there was one last thing that Edge wanted to do.
It had been quite a while since he had viewed his profile in full. He went ahead and pulled it up now, marveling at how much he’d accomplished since evolving to stage two.

2025-05-16 17:00:06 +0000 UTC View PostEdge killed two monsters over the next four hours.
Since Vigor’s glow was too bright for hunting at night, he went with Ghost Armor instead, using the aura in battle for the first time. It worked beautifully with his existing defenses, sapping momentum from his enemy’s attacks before they reached his body.
His garax-leather armor distributed the remaining force across a wider ar...
2025-05-15 17:00:04 +0000 UTC View PostSasha pressed her body into the damp earth, crawling on her belly until she could peer over the ridgeline.
Below her, the jailbirds’ tents were nestled in a shallow valley running between two hillocks—the strike force that had attacked the expedition and hounded the survivors ever since.
There were at least sixty cored warriors camped down there—a mixture of late stage ones an...
2025-05-14 17:00:05 +0000 UTC View PostIt seemed that before he decided which biome would become his new home, Nick had some reading to do. It’s time to learn more about that quest.
When he focused on the information he wanted, it appeared before his eyes.

2025-05-14 17:00:05 +0000 UTC View PostAccompanied by a gallon of adrenaline sloshing through his veins, Edge left the hydra’s island.
He came to a stop a few isles over—covered in sweat, mud, and blood. He Concealed his presence, took a long look around to make sure that nothing was headed his way, then summoned his Guide and pulled up the rest of his updates.
You have completed one component of the s...
2025-05-13 17:00:05 +0000 UTC View PostAs Overdrive hit the seven second mark, Edge jumped to the ground.
He buried his iceblades into an unfrozen portion of the hydra’s body along the way, carving a pair of ruby gouges down its chest until his boots hit the dirt.
He gripped the hilts of his subzero swords, flaring Elemental Blade all the while to bolster the arctic mana it was pumping into the monster’s torso. The r...
2025-05-12 17:00:07 +0000 UTC View PostWhen his brain finished booting up, Nick was back in his own body.
He was surprised to discover that he was still floating in space and shielded by a magic bubble. But not too surprised, considering everything that had happened.
Being weightless was incredibly relaxing, and casting his gaze across the limitless heavens was soothing to his soul. The temperature was comfortable, and o...
2025-05-12 17:00:06 +0000 UTC View PostOne second, Nick had his arms wrapped around Sophia, savoring the sensation of her lips pressed against his own and the boundless warmth of her presence.
The next, the world vanished in a flash of light.
When Nick opened his eyes, he was staring down at the Earth.
From the rooftop of the Tower of Rizzen, the planet had looked like a great, glowing ball—resplendent cerulean c...
2025-05-09 17:00:06 +0000 UTC View PostEdge had a hard time falling asleep that night, tossing and turning until he finally drifted off.
He awoke before dawn, tweaking his plans while waiting for the sky to lighten. Extraction would come off cooldown in the early afternoon, and he wanted to prepare himself and locate the hydra before that happened. He went over everything one last time while he made himself breakfast and got r...
2025-05-09 17:00:04 +0000 UTC View PostRiding the high of acquiring an amazing new upgrade, Edge spent the rest of the afternoon hunting within the islands comprising the city.
He had reprioritized his needs after bonding the Frostfury Medallion and put all the experience he Absorbed into Elemental Blade, filling the skill’s cup to the brim. He stepped into his inner world to watch it advance, thrilled to have stolen enough ...
2025-05-08 17:00:05 +0000 UTC View PostSince Edge couldn’t afford to let the Crimson Claws catch him, he intended to spend his remaining time inside the Savage Garden hunting within the crumbling structures scattered across the city.
The clusters of buildings covering the islands were extensive and ancient. Just like the temple he had found in the crevasse at the start of his adventure, their construction displayed none of t...

Just a reminder, these recaps exist outside the main story and are meant to be a fun way to provide a refresher for anyone who needs it.

2025-05-07 17:00:05 +0000 UTC View PostAfter getting a good look at the swamp’s corrupted resource, Edge realized that he already knew where another pearl was located. He had skated over it earlier without recognizing what it was.
The mollusk containing the tainted pearl was growing beside the lair of a powerful monster—the thing with tentacles that had tried to grab him while crossing the river on his way to the city. It ...
2025-05-06 17:00:05 +0000 UTC View PostLater that day, Edge encountered the third elite monster roaming the Savage Garden—a colossal amphibian that he decided to call “the hydra.”
He had just set foot onto one of the largest islands bordering the boundary of the swamp, getting ready to explore the cluster of ruins it contained after scouting the perimeter. Only seconds after he used Foebinder to climb into the branches o...
2025-05-05 17:00:08 +0000 UTC View PostEdge spent the next hour surveying the first island of the dungeon’s final zone.
Although he had decided to call this region “the city” for reference, not every isle was home to a crumbling structure, and he had no idea what their original purpose had been. Or what they’re doing inside a dungeon for that matter.
He was pleased to discover that this island was free o...

Doc had set up a tent where he was treating their wounds, and Dialla’s assistants were handing out food and water. While their relief seemed genuine, Sakura found the group’s arrival to be deeply suspicious, especially the timing.
According to their account, these peopl...

2025-04-30 17:01:02 +0000 UTC View PostOne-Eye crept his way across the swamp, in pursuit of his quarry.
He was the only jailbird in the dungeon who was willing to brave its depths alone, which is how he preferred it. In part due to his temperament, and partly because he despised the Claws, but mostly because the target Ripper had assigned him was the most thrilling hunt of his life.
In theory, he was tracking all three ...
2025-04-30 17:00:11 +0000 UTC View PostOn the top of Darkstone Tower, silence reigned.
The champions of Earth had returned to their world and the Mad God had retreated to his realm.
