Chapter 187: Golem Dungeon
Using Void Steps, Derek crossed over the city wall. The Golem Dungeon was in the complete opposite direction of where the ambush occurred. Some guards hollered at him as he crossed, but he ignored them. That’s probably gonna cost me another toll to get back into the city. Still, he didn’t want to answer any questions.
According to the map, the...

Edward hurried through the palace, moving towards the King’s Library. He planned on setting off to inspect the border before he received news he’d been waiting the last six months for. News that his father, the King, needed to know.
Without waiting, he threw the door to the library open and made his way straight to his father. Upon arrivin...

After Derek left Roman’s, he went back home. With everything he could think of taken care of, he planned on leaving for a dungeon the next morning. He asked Silvi if she wanted to go with him, but once she learned they would be fighting against stone golems, and that rocks weren’t in the least bit tasty, she decided to stay home and practice cooking. 2022-05-05 23:46:00 +0000 UTC View Post
Chapter 184: Preparations
For the next few days, everyone spent their time together, catching up. Derek took Rayna to the Adventurer’s Guild to both train her new skills, and get her a Gold Adventurer’s Badge. She easily completed her testing missions to obtain the rank.
Normally, Jacks would be the one to help Rayna, but he was busy with his son. They had a lot of catching up t...

Derek watched Jacks drag Jake through the shop and into Rudy’s office. They have a lot of catching up to do. Back in the shop, Rayna, Mal, Silvi, Brandi, and Derek chatted with Edgar about some things. Brandi was super excited about being able to talk to an actual prince.
Edgar didn’t actually know too much about the political side of the King...

Once everything with the half elves was settled, Jacks and Jake wanted some time to catch up. There were many things Jacks had to tell Jake, and he preferred to do it in private. Luckily, Rudy wasn’t using his office at the moment, so they were able to move there to have their conversation.
Once seated, Jacks spoke. “Jake… you don’t know how l...

Derek removed his hand from Jacks’s shoulder as the man shouted for his son. Edgar and Jake floated down beside Derek and Jacks.
“Father.” Jake said.
Jacks walked over and took the young man in his arms, swinging him around in the process. “What are you doing here? I didn’t expect you so soon.”
“They had leave.” ...

Rayna took a deep breath and let it out. “Jacks… we… were finishing up training and about to come back when we were ambushed. They’re not that strong. I think Jacks is stronger than any one of them, but there are a lot. He sent me back h...

The familiar looking young man stepped forward. “Are you Mr. Hunt?” He asked.
Derek nodded slowly. “I am.”
The man reached his hand out for a handshake, Derek took it. “My name is Jake Herrett. My father is Jackson Herrett. He wrote to me about a week ago saying that, thanks to you, we could see each other again.”

Derek led the group up the stairs to the second floor. On the second floor, he walked down the hall and placed his hand on a door. “Are ya’ll ready?”
He pushed slightly, but before the door opened even an inch, Silvi jumped off his shoulder and slammed into it, causing the door to swing wide open.
Derek shook his head and walked in behind the i...

Derek summoned his blue communication crystal out of his storage bracelet and started making calls to have his members meet at the site. It wasn’t long before Rudy made his appearance. He was already waiting around the area. The man couldn’t wait to see his part of the shop.
A bit after, Malorie, holding Silvi, and Brandi filed in. Brandi had been making ph...

Three consecutive knocks sounded from the door to the office. Alanah brushed her emerald green hair to the side and raised her head from her accounts. A strand of hair fell in front of her eyes, tickling her nose. Alanah scrunched her face and blew the hair to the side.

The next few days went by in a flash. Nothing overly exciting happened with the construction of the building. The total time taken was just over four days. Derek had to admit, the efficiency of those with a system was outstanding.
The most interesting things he learned during the construction were all about Geoffrey. Apparently, the businessman was part of a medium...

Derek walked out of Roman’s shop by himself. Brandi chose to stay there and learn from the high-level Alchemist, and because she chose to stay behind, Malorie did the same. Silvi also chose to stay with Malorie.
Both Mal and the bunny liked to cook, and Silvi knew she would learn more by staying at the woman’s side than by staying by Derek. Plus, ...

Jacks led Rayna out of the Adventurer’s Guild. He had seen all he needed to come up with a plan for the woman. A plan she would come to hate, but he guessed that Derek would be all for the plan. If you had the correct mental fortitude, nothing would help you get stronger than getting your ass kicked over and over.
His next destination was the teleport building. N...

Jacks watched Derek walk away with most of the group trailing him, leaving him and Rayna standing near the hotel. He was tasked with keeping an eye on and helping the woman who seemed so keen on making herself useful. When she talked about not wanting to be weak, he felt her determination.
He knew exactly what it felt like to...

Derek inwardly smiled and shook his head. The Void Beast seems to be the prime ingredient in anything that permanently increases stats. I also have the cheat that allows me to provide said ingredients. However, I need to get stronger before taking that chance again. In the few times I’ve seen Void Beasts, one was intelligent.

Derek gazed at the brow potion on the table. Inwardly, he wanted to grab Brandi and Mal and leave the shop. However, he had made a trade, and he planned on sticking to his word.

Derek stared intensely at the near neon blue potion in his hand. So, this one is supposed to work on my mind. It seemed to be the one that they were the most confident about, so it shouldn’t be too hard on me. Still, they were hesitant to give it to Shae, so I should at least make some preparations.
