DD 203 Ch 7

We were taking a lunch break after several more failed attempts at the boss. The fight was complex.

Though we had nearly gotten the boss down at some point, when he hit low life, he summoned nearly every skeleton still in their grave at the same time. The pary had wiped, and since then, we hadn't been able to get back to that phase, only instilling more frustration in the rest of the raid...

Finally, with the three adds dead, the man in the corner lifted his staff from the ground, raising it high.

The bones from the monsters that hadn't disappeared in black smoke, an oddity for the dungeon, began to swirl around the room.

I knew that something would come of them.

A bone hit me in the side, and I felt my ribs ache, forcing me to dodge through the sudden storm of bo...

Chapter 5

I hurried towards the others as my stacks started to drop off, catching some of the crocodiles and using them to restore some of my stacks to [Liminal Speed]. Another giant arrow appeared, this time hovering over Felin. The Nekorian let out a sound that was half frustrated cat, half excitement. 

"It's on me," she said, as more alligators started to po...

DD 203 Ch 4

My back slid down a limestone pillar as the group took a breather before we went after the second boss. After the first, we'd been clearing trash for about an hour and a half.

 Much of that time, I had spent at accelerated speeds with Liminal Speed. My thighs ached as I massaged them with one hand while fishing through my CID for a sandwich with the other.

Felin plopped into m...

DD 203 Ch 3

I stood with the healers casting revive one after the other until our entire class of 25 was back on their feet.

Well, we didn't have a full 25. Two of Felicity's group had quit adventuring and we had brought Elysara to come make up for one of the lost spots.

I had pitched for Ami to join us as well, however, my butler refused, citing that she had other work from my grandparents, wh...

DD 203 Ch 2

The boss room was constructed of the same limestone found throughout the rest of the raid. It was a simple, square room, measuring about a hundred yards in each direction. The boss, a giant golden scarab beetle with blue accents, dominated the room.

It stood 30 feet high and a little over thirty feet wide. Sand covered the floor, occasionally revealing the limestone beneath, but more ofte...

DD 203 Ch 1

I stepped into the raid once again, along with the rest of Class 2-A.

The raid event was the same as the last time we visited.

Worn limestone lined the floor, punctuated by random pillars of some ancient, dilapidated civilization.

The ruins and the ambiance in the dungeon weren't real. Neither were the monsters. Even if there were humanoid ones, they often performed the same r...

Chapter 49

For once, I was thankful for my servant. She brought me a lounge to relax in, and she also found three goblets of wine and a nice selection of fruits.

I shared with Circe as the other three argued in circles for over an hour.

I couldn’t leave because, after this, they were going to let me drain some bloodlines and practice two abilities I absolute...

Chapter 46

I woke up to a mirthful pair of emerald eyes only a few inches from me.

“She’s a snuggler.” Simone giggled, causing the woman who had us wrapped with her tail to stir.

All her snakes were laid out on the pillow next to her or lying along her curves.

I had discovered a trick during our night together. Pulling her tail a little towards me ...

Chapter 44

“So. I’ll uh… just sleep on the couch?” Nyx asked, staring at our room that now included her scant belongings as well.

“Uh. It’s a bit small for your tail.” I scratched my cheek. “How about I sleep on the couch and you join Simone in the bed. Careful, though, she’s a snuggler.”

Simone echoed my words by latching onto Nyx. “She�...

Chapter 42

I stepped into Persephone’s mind, observing a total mess.

The landscape was in shatters. She was slowly pulling herself back together, but I didn’t have time for slow.

Grabbing the pieces that were razor-sharp, I played a dangerous game of putting her back together. Like a jigsaw puzzle, only made of razor sharp glass that would cut through my s...

Chapter 41

The second general’s calm wasn’t broken by my transformation. Instead, he summoned a new form while shielding himself. “Big one, aren’t you? I didn’t know I was in the Borrson Clan.” He laughed. His body language the definition of arrogance.

I collided with a minotaur that matched me in size.

My blood splashed all over it, and I drew on ...

Chapter 40

The waters outside the clan were filled with debris to the point that I had to dive under and swim for a while because I kept hitting wood pieces, making it hard to swim.

The docks were shredded, and several large freighters floated outside the island, likely having released a massive number of demons.

It was unlikely the demons could have gotten cl...

Chapter 39

The yacht was cutting through the waves while I double-checked the gas tank, measuring the decrease in gas against the progress I was making. I was going to cut it close. They must have not planned to leave the boat running for as long as they had.

In fairness, they were also dead.

To pass the time, I had found a coffee pot and filters, using them t...

Chapter 37

Simone lay naked in the bed next to me, barely covered up. “Ah. Feeling better?”

“Much,” I grunted.

She had helped me burn off all the extra energy I was feeling in a more productive way. It might be more apt to call it a reproductive way.

I chuckled to myself.

“Glad your humor is back at least. You should laugh more.” Simone...

RD 2 Ch 35-36

Chapter 35

I was careful and made sure to not start any fights with the demons. But, oh was it tempting to wade into the two other buildings I found and start cutting them up.

That’s also why I found myself at the busiest of the three hotspots with Circe standing behind me.

“Where’s Hercules to drag you away when I need him?” She had a small troop of l...

RD 2 Ch 34

Chapter 34

I already had several talismans made from Simone’s blood to help me track her down should I ever need to find her. I had ones with Gloria’s and Bobby’s blood, too. Never knew when one of your own needed finding. I had learned that lesson the hard way in my previous life.

Activating one, I felt a pull in a direction. I followed that feeling through t...

RD 2 Ch 33

Chapter 33

The Hercules Branch’s island was far busier than Circe’s. Where Circe’s island had open fields with just a touch of tall buildings, here we were suddenly squeezed into narrow streets lined with open-fronted buildings that doubled as shops.

The hammering of anvils and the roaring of stoked flames were a constant backdrop as we walked amid the bustle....

Chapter 32

“Son,” Thorin grunted through the stone, “Gloria said we needed to talk.” As usual the man didn’t mince words.

I leaned on the balcony while Simone ran interference. I’d slapped a talisman down that would make listening in from afar incredibly difficult. For this, I’d rather not have ears listening to me. “I got a bloodline. It’s a Titan...

RD 2 Ch 31

Chapter 31

“You were naughty.” I closed the door behind Simone and me and pasted up several talismans to keep the sound from leaking out as well as to alert us if the door opened. Nothing harmful.

“You left me for seventeen days and then came back to talk to others.” She kissed my neck, dragging her hands down my chest. She dug in her nails just enough to be...

RD 2 Ch 30

Chapter 30

I slipped into the bath and pulled the towel off, putting it to the side. “Ah. This feels good.”

“Considering how much blood you were likely covered in, you’ll need a very good scrub.” Simone came in, her horns on display through her curly, black hair. She was wearing nothing but a towel around her torso.

“If you are going to have sex, p...

Chapter 29

“The instance is almost stable.” Circe stood in the pit of the arena with the other three branch leaders and a few of their closest followers.

“Less than an hour if our guess is correct,” Zeus added.

But as they watched, the instance suddenly flashed a new update.

Chapter 28

“Stupid birds.” Nyx sank down into her coils.

“They’ve been good to us.” I sat down with the mound at our back. The pile of S-ranked bronze feathers had grown taller than us and several times wider.

“My stats are fantastic.” Nyx bobbed her brows for me to check them again.

She’d been pretty proud.

At level fifty-six, she ...

RD 2 Ch 27

Chapter 27

Nyx slithered out of the chamber, casting a few looks over her shoulder at Bran.

He was completely engrossed in the chamber, and it felt odd that it was like she suddenly didn’t exist.

She held the talisman close in one of her snakes, glad he remembered and cared enough to want to keep her safe. But he’d barely looked at her as he’d handed it ...

Chapter 26

I took a break as I felt a talisman tear in my spatial ring. Quickly pulling it out, I did my best to wipe the blood off my face as the hand mirror rippled, and a poor-quality image of Simone came up on the other side.

It was difficult to send messages between outside and inside an instance.

“Who’s that?” Nyx came over my shoulder, her snakes ...
