Vin had to admit, he was equal parts curious and concerned based on how secretive Myers was being as she grabbed a bag from the supply room before leading him past the outer wall and away from camp. Though seeing as she’d just helped him interrogate a dead body for the better part of an hour, he figured she deserved at least a little bit of faith.
The two of them weren’t exactly tryin...
2025-06-16 16:15:17 +0000 UTC View PostAfter trying desperately to save one of his only friends from being tortured, being extorted to work for the city’s largest gang leader, and nearly being buried alive under a few metric tons of earth and rock, Asher quite enjoyed taking a break from everything and just hanging out with Brian and Samantha.
But it wasn’t long before he started feeling that new itch he was still getting ...
2025-06-16 16:00:15 +0000 UTC View PostThe moment Vin woke up, he grabbed a quick bite to eat before shutting himself away in his room and getting to work. The longer this murder went unsolved, the more chances this mysterious killer would have to strike again.
Luckily, it seemed Lumel’s assessment of the spell was correct. After looking over the runic formation for a bit, Vin realized while it still contained a lot of littl...
2025-06-16 16:00:15 +0000 UTC View PostVin spent the rest of the evening regaling Lumel with stories of the different fragments he and his friends had been to. At first, he’d been worried that he was talking too much, but Lumel continued to reassure him that she was extremely invested in his stories, even going so far as to ask him all sorts of curious questions. Many of which he didn’t actually know the answer to.
No, he ...
2025-06-13 16:00:09 +0000 UTC View PostAsher held his breath, his muscles trembling as he did everything in his power to remain silent and unmoving. He’d been hiding for what felt like an hour now, and as much as he wanted to relax, he knew the moment he let himself grow complacent his target would detect his presence.
Focusing on the Eternal Mark he’d left on the target ages ago, Asher closed his eyes and monitored his ta...
2025-06-13 16:00:08 +0000 UTC View PostVin’s predictions quickly proved to be true, and he managed to recreate the runic formation for Sense Death in record time. Barely an hour after he’d gotten started, he leaned back against the wall of his tiny stone box, reading over his newest notifications.
New spell learned! Tier 1 Death Spell (Sense Death). 2,500 exp gained.
Flickering torchlight danced off the dark cloak of the eighth Finger as he waited silently to be seen by the Head. Despite having risen through the ranks of the Assassin’s Guild to become one of the ten Fingers, the ten most deadly assassins in the entire kingdom, there was something about dealing with the Head that always unnerved him.
“You requested a meeting, Eight?” A voice call...
2025-06-12 16:00:07 +0000 UTC View PostGasping, Asher woke up, jerking upwards in bed as he looked around for Loratta. The last thing he remembered was putting an end to the gang leader’s rein before accepting his death within the collapsing compound. The fact that he was still alive…
Asher blinked as he finally realized where he was. Somehow, someway, he was currently lying in bed back in Samantha and Brian’s house on t...
2025-06-11 16:00:10 +0000 UTC View Post“I’m guessing this means you need to put Dimensional Sheath on hold for a bit, huh?” Lumel asked him as they returned to the Underside and made their way back to the Earthers’ fragment. Vin was surprised to pick up on the tinge of dejection in her voice, and he offered her a reassuring smile.
“It’s only for a bit! I have a feeling that Sense Death 2025-06-11 16:00:09 +0000 UTC View Post
As far as first dates go, this is kinda weird, Vin thought as he and Lumel walked out of the surprisingly harmless dungeon and into the bright light of the grassy fragment. The dungeon connecting this one to the Underside was filled with incredibly slow moving but difficult to navigate around slime monsters. Vin didn’t even have the first idea as to how he’d fight those things on h...
2025-06-10 16:00:11 +0000 UTC View PostAsher gasped as a somehow both powerful yet gentle pulse erupted from his body, washing calmly across the empty cavern and stopping Loratta mid-sentence. Immediately after purchasing his final skill, he suddenly felt more than he had in his entire life. As though he’d finally found his place in the universe and was ready to fill the role that was expected of him.
Loratta clearl...
2025-06-10 16:00:09 +0000 UTC View PostNow that he knew where he was going, it didn’t take Asher long to navigate the maze-like corridors and make his way toward the source of the quakes. It turned out the secret room Loratta was most likely fighting within was actually located underneath the rest of the compound, which explained why he couldn’t find it. He didn’t doubt Moxy’s directions in the slightest as he rushe...
2025-06-09 16:00:16 +0000 UTC View Post“How did my people solve crimes?” Alka repeated, turning to face him and giving her Slayer-trainees a very much needed break based on the thankful looks they were giving him as they doubled over and focused on catching their breath. It appeared as though she’d somehow managed to construct a rather intense looking obstacle course for them to run through, one complete with quite a surprisin...
2025-06-09 16:00:14 +0000 UTC View PostAsher stared at the burly man standing before him as he waited for an answer. For some reason, Crush was giving him a strange look, almost like he wasn’t sure if he should help him or attack him. While Asher waited for the big man to come to a decision, he noted how the brute’s skin seemed to have a dull shine to it, almost as if it were made out of metal.
After a few strange seconds ...
2025-06-06 16:00:11 +0000 UTC View PostThe whole ordeal involving Kyle out of his hands, Vin managed to get in a few more hours of practice with Dimensional Sheath before hitting the hay. He even had the bright idea of pushing the bounds of the runic formation a little and doing more than he knew he was ready for because he still had his divine boon prepped and ready to go.
Sure enough, he managed to get in a ...
2025-06-06 16:00:10 +0000 UTC View PostAs usual, things weren’t going quite as planned.
Crush growled as his opponent’s hair struck against his hardened body yet again, squinting to keep the resulting sparks out of his eyes. Hairslay, a stupid moniker if you asked him, was doing everything in her power to keep him out of the main fight. While her sharpened hair capable of bisecting a regular man in moments couldn’t get t...
2025-06-05 16:00:07 +0000 UTC View PostVin spent the rest of the evening working on his magic. For some reason, when he went back to talk to Lumel tomorrow, he wanted to be able to say he’d made at least a tiny bit of headway on learning Dimensional Sheath, even if it was only the first step.
Thankfully, his Flexible Formation passive finally proved its use.
As far as he could tell, Dimensional...
2025-06-05 16:00:07 +0000 UTC View Post“Vin!” Lumel gasped, making her book vanish with a flash of purple as she jumped up to greet him. “I wasn’t expecting you back so soon!”
Before he’d surprised her, Lumel had been lounging in a remarkably fancy looking chair only a few dozen feet from the corridor entrance to the Earthers’ dungeon. Based on the book in hand and the plate of crumbs lying on the ground beside h...
2025-06-04 16:00:11 +0000 UTC View PostAsher stared in horror at Rosh’s mangled legs. It looked as though someone had stuck them in a woodchipper, and then tried using a sledgehammer to put the pieces back together. He could only assume there was some sort of magic at play to stop the bleeding, else he imagined Rosh would have died hours ago.
“Rosh… What happened?” Asher said blankly, unable to take his eyes off the ma...
2025-06-04 16:00:10 +0000 UTC View PostVin knew he was exhausted from everything that had happened with Neurol and the blue fur clan, but he hadn’t realized just how tired he truly was until he groggily woke up the next day and spotted the sun high in the sky. Cursing his decision to try out Kark’s remarkably soft blanket last night, he barely had time to run by the mess hall and grab a bite to eat before making his way to the d...
2025-06-03 16:00:08 +0000 UTC View PostNot wanting any of the invading elites to stumble upon Moxy’s body and finish her off due to some grudge or just a desire for shards, Asher grabbed her by the arm and unceremoniously dragged the warrior’s unconscious body into one of the side rooms. Only having one working arm himself made the task far harder than it should have been, but he owed the warrior for spending so much time teachi...
2025-06-03 16:00:07 +0000 UTC View PostIt turned out he’d been chatting with Lumel for even longer than he’d thought. As Vin exited the Underside and set foot into the forest dungeon of his people’s fragment, he was surprised to find that the sun had already gone down. Glancing around, he spotted a handful of brutally slaughtered monsters, as well as a note tied to a nearby tree branch.
-Vin,

2025-06-02 16:00:17 +0000 UTC View PostAfter spending the last few days fighting Moxy in the large, underground arena, Asher had felt as though he’d gotten a fairly solid assessment of the warrior’s strengths and weaknesses. She preferred to stay at range, pelting her opponent with lightning fast barrages of air blasts capable of cracking stone. She was certainly able to handle herself in close range combat, but she’d always d...
2025-06-02 16:00:15 +0000 UTC View PostLoratta frowned, going over the list of elites for the third time that her people had spotted heading in and out of Draken’s territory over the past few days. From what information she’d managed to gather, that blasted nobleman playing at gang leader had managed to pull together a few dozen powerful fighters. And based on some of the names listed here, he either knew, or at least suspected,...
2025-05-31 16:00:13 +0000 UTC View PostDraken was a tall, lanky man wearing a charcoal suit and tie. With his short, cropped hair and clean-shaven face, he looked more like he should be golfing with the CEOs of a major company than leading the second largest gang in all of Whikoga. His face pale and impassive, the man’s gaze slowly swept around the room, and Asher could practically hear the gulping of those who met his eyes.
Just as Vin had predicted, the dangerous monsters with their long, clawed hands and their mace-like tails didn’t stand a chance against a ferocious Alka. Knowing that they weren’t strong enough to tie her down and that their attacks couldn’t actually harm her, Alka went pure offence, disregarding their feeble attempts at hurting her as she practically carved a path through the forest mons...
2025-05-30 16:00:08 +0000 UTC View PostIn the end, it ended up taking them the better half of the day to search through the crystal-covered fragment and find the blue fur clan. They stumbled upon a few signs here and there that indicated the clan was nomadic, and Vin got to flex his Tracking skill for what felt like the first time in ages as he worked on tracking the clan’s movements across the crystalline sand from one site to th...
2025-05-29 16:00:06 +0000 UTC View PostAs the moon rose into the night sky, its eerie glow illuminating the slums of Whikoga’s second ring under Draken’s control, Asher walked down his seventh dark alleyway of the night.
Why is it when I want to be accosted by a bunch of thugs, I can’t seem to find a single one?
From what Loratta had told him, Draken was currently recruiting elites from different ...

The glittering, stampeding monsters looked as though one of the Gods had grabbed a rhinoceros from Earth, and then got far too excited using a divine Bedazzler on it. The monsters were large and built like small cars, and they appeared to be covered in what looked like crystalline armor of all things. And based on the fact that the ...
2025-05-28 16:00:12 +0000 UTC View PostMoxy’s words had rung true, and Asher quickly found himself with more free time than he knew what to do with. Instructed to stay within the underground compound until he’d earned Loratta’s trust, and still forbidden from visiting Rosh, Asher had spent most of his time sparring with Moxy. Thanks to the woman’s Life element, even serious injuries were healed within moments, and they only ...
