“It feels so weird to strip off the belt… Like it has always been here,” Rune commented as he proceeded to unclip all the fasteners that allowed his bone region custom-made belt to remain solidly attached to his spine and rib cage.
“Wait until you unstick your connected screen,” Arik grumbled from next to him, having already unequipped everything before Rune even began, “I fee...

Listening to the prospects and the patrollers talking about killing the tier 5 guardians as soon as he spread his focus to gather information, Rune couldn’t have any other thoughts.
‘Are they all so stupid?! Why would they try to intrude into the nest of obvious killing machines? Where’s Arik, I’m sure he knows what’s happening.’

2022-03-12 22:52:11 +0000 UTC View PostFaced with the new and foreign website interface used on his reworked favorite news site, favorite because all the news on it were all confirmed by the IGS itself, Rune couldn’t help but go on a slightly philosophical rant.
But thinking over this rework in terms of more than just an appearance redesign, he found in himself an endless source of logic and reasons that said a simple truth:...

“Yup, this place is truly too interesting to miss on! I would have insulted you if you didn’t come!”

2022-03-12 22:50:26 +0000 UTC View PostRune’s inclusion into the front line didn’t change much.
It wasn’t a question of having overwhelming offensive power or being able to support every other prospect, it was just that as time passed, the swarm of bone golems never seemed to get lower and allow the front line to advance.
And that was despite the slowly increasing number of IGS people joining on the fun. Rune heard...
2022-03-05 13:50:28 +0000 UTC View PostCompared to his expectation, there were more prospects.
He didn’t question deeply about how there could be so many so far from any colonized lands, he just admitted it was the case.
If all the prospects, if they were actually all prospects, were accounted for excluding the 14 he saw back at the camp, relaxing, planning, or something, there were an additional 64 fighting here, for ...

As they didn’t have to care about the real core of the path, its creation and application, and only had to focu...
2022-03-05 13:49:56 +0000 UTC View Post“And that’s why!” A burning and passionate voice escaped Rune’s larynx energy construct as if he was making the speech of his life, “If we decide to clean Tolevia, we must take a crash course on the gardener path!”
Pointing his finger at Arik and Astryde in turn, he tried to push his determination through a flurry of ether colors he knew to have an affinity with such a concept...
2022-02-27 02:39:44 +0000 UTC View PostAn empty dimensions window was a normal dimensions window.
“Empty” was its normal state in the Endless, and that would only change when reaching a linking zone, something Rune hadn’t tried to do yet though it had always been in consideration.
The reason he had never opened it straight like that and let it be displayed in the background was due to having long made a change as h...
2022-02-27 02:39:28 +0000 UTC View PostArik handed him his camera.
That was it.
‘That’s it?’
Rune was surprised that he was only handed a camera.
“You only want some video files? Nothing else?” He asked, more in confusion than in curiosity.
“And what would you do with the rest of my stuff? Draw the scenery?” Arik practically sneered at him for asking a stupid question.
“Ok, no draw...

2022-02-21 11:57:06 +0000 UTC View PostWith Rune having regained his sight and even having it upgraded, the group stopped encountering monsters too powerful or too special for their level as beginners to below-average tier 4 entities. This led to them keeping a steady traveling speed and a moderately intense training regime.
Arik and Astryde didn’t change much as for them, the whole city ruins break was spent in either time ...

In his perception, he could see at the same time the still deep diving Astryde and the crazy alchemist Arik.
Rune stopped trying to understand what Arik was trying to do when he asked him a few months ago directly and got the answer “I’m making bone booze.”
He respected ...

Ten monster encounters had taken place since they escaped the chaotic one where a unique monster with spiritual powers intruded into.

It was a petty dream born from frustration.
