I finished having breakfast with Clarissa and left my home. The wonderful breakfast of bacon and eggs brought a smile to my face. But it was back to the grind for me. I felt a breeze and a slight pressure and shivered.
I turned and my heart froze in my chest. The world slowed to a crawl. In front of me stood an elderly Asian lady. Her hair was silver white done up into a bun. Two white ha...

The map of the Systemic Lands on Day 675 I made for reference. Yes, you get to see quite a bit.
Patreon hates large images, trying to figure out a work around. Files were uploaded and attached. Including an excel.

The system store list of Purgatory on Day 500 I made for reference. Purchased city buildings are noted.

I looked around and saw gray buildings. Other people were getting to their feet. “Listen up you new people!” I slowly turned to look at the man speaking. He reminded me of a pig. An ugly pig. He began to explain how we were all brought here to serve him and get him crystals.

“Good job,” I said to the group of people under me. I had stayed out here even though I had an invitation to return for the celebration. I was content out here. Helping people, taking it easy. If I went, I would have felt stress about the sky worms.

I carefully engaged the belt like clip and flipped open each of the eight small compartments. “We have no elastic, so we had to come up with a cloth...
2023-01-08 00:01:01 +0000 UTC View PostI eagerly put my hands on the store pillar to look at all the options. The cost to upgrade to the next level of the store was 10 million points like I suspected. The new material was called steel by the shop, with a sword and pieces of armor, costing 25 thousand points each. The new food option was animal products. Eggs, meat, and various organs, cost 100 points and went up to a 1,000 points pe...
2023-01-08 00:00:01 +0000 UTC View PostI waited offset from the stone pillars in the plaza that were used to access the store. Standing on the half wall that had been built around them I looked up at the sky, waiting. Everyone else had been evacuated. I turned to look in various directions. It might not be sky worms and it might be something else. I wasn’t that worried.
I had almost doubled my Body stat and my Mind stat. Wit...

“Yes. Even aerial combat. With my energy reserves, I can spam my skills and not have to worry about energy. But ten level 4 monsters would be the limit. And if they can counter my Acid Shot,” I replied.
“Well, I made the arrangements, so it will be all on you. Try not to break a pillar this time,” Cl...
2023-01-07 00:01:01 +0000 UTC View PostI turned in my points for the last 40 days worth of grinding during the early morning at Neo Brasilia. The guards gave me looks but no one interfered with me. Since I hadn’t gotten a mental alert, it appeared that the Divine Empress hadn’t made a move yet.
Chest after chest was unloaded, filled with level 4 crystals. I had earned almost 90 million points in total. It was an astronomic...

I rubbed my forehead as I looked at the latest message that had been rushed to my desk. The Divine Empress was making moves. Our time was short, but the timeline couldn’t be moved up. I tapped my fingers on the desk and considered my options. Everything was stretched to the breaking point.
While I had dispatched a high level team to retrieve the necessary...
2023-01-06 00:02:00 +0000 UTC View PostI entered Neo Brasilia and was quickly pointed to Governor General Sam’s office. He had summoners so he managed to get an alert of my arrival and was waiting for me outside.
“Champion Michael,” Sam greeted me.
“Sam. How are things?” I asked and gave him a head nod to his bow.
“Good, things are finally stabilizing. What brings you out this way?” Sam asked me.

“I never got your name,” I said while sitting down for a cold breakfast he had prepared.
“My name’s Jeff. Used to be a Vice General in the RMPF,” Jeff said. I recalled that Gerold had promoted him after Truth had been taken. It felt so long ago.

I called them babies since they were children only two feet tall at best. They were wearing white shirts and white pants in an oriental style, where the shirts were long, which made them stand out visually. Their faces were snarling, I noticed blood shot red eyes, their high Body stat, and precise movements.
These were no amateurs to the art of combat. But trained combatants. The Astrolog...
2023-01-05 00:03:01 +0000 UTC View PostIt had been a pain in the rear to cross salt lake. It was a bit too far to fly across. I went to the nearby swamp and melted down a tree. I had then used Air Burst to glide across the salt water. While there were no visible monsters within it. I wasn’t about to be stuck in water combat.
I reached the dungeon and quickly killed the floating rock monsters. The two options were
I left Purgatory late in the evening. The dungeon I wanted was only open at night. So, I would show up there with a bit of time to spare. It would be a long day tomorrow, but I had a route that would take me around Esperanza, picking up all the dungeons in level 2 zones, of which there were eight. Then I would clear another two dungeons to the East of Neo Brasilia for a total of ten skill point...

Rolling over would just have us rolled over. He carefully folded the letter back up and tucked it away in his robe. I noted he wasn’t wearing a pack.
“Junior, let us talk. Pointers we shall exchange here. To first wound or blow.” I immedi...
2023-01-04 00:02:01 +0000 UTC View PostAll this running was exhausting. I had gone directly Northwest from Purgatory through the swamp. There were black iris floating eyes, which shot black beams at me. I dodged them and pushed on rapidly with Air Burst. The skill was really getting a workout.
I cleared the swamp and saw a pit and likely dungeon to the Northwest, I would stop there on the way back. I then turned West,...
