"Any updates on the vault hunters angel?" the man behind angel asked as he leaned back in his chair.
"They have collected the first piece of the vault key and moved into New Haven for the moment." the angel said with an odd tone.
"I know that tone, there's more you aren't telling me. What is it?" the man asked ...

Not that it mattered much as I had several more. The things weren't built to last to begin with and were only designed to let out a short but extremely bright light for about five minutes or so. The several dozen dead monsters that went poof...
2025-04-08 14:58:47 +0000 UTC View PostI'm talking complete breakdown of the unified league into a series of regional leagues much more prone to internal corruption. Even worse things would likely start to get hostile between Johto and Kanto again as the old scars from their previous wars reared their ugly heads again. Right now the two regions had a sort of competitive rivalry going on as the league keeps them in line but no league...
2025-04-08 14:57:22 +0000 UTC View Post"Bandits maybe?" Mordy offered not very convinced of his own theory.
"There are fucking bandits camped out in the trash heaps around the place so absolutely not!" I rejected that theory with facts right away.
"It's Pandora, people are weird here." Brick said with a shrug and I honestly couldn't argue with that.

2025-04-05 15:08:35 +0000 UTC View PostI didn't bother looking for any monsters myself as I knew that I'd eventually find them regardless. Instead I whipped out my metal detecting compass and started following it's direction since that was one of my auxiliary purposes for this expedition. These floors had higher grade metals than the previous floors as was usual with the dungeon and was also more readily available. Naturally I wasn'...

"The world doesn't need the one who created you, not anymore. All that they brought to it is mine and thus the worlds. You have lived long enough, now perish!" I said f...

That's two people thought long dead not, a new tailed beast that nobody except them knew about, a bunch of dead people including someone I actually know. Someone I killed myself who let's not forget had been an evil bastard for like over a decade now and several dead Hokage who have been brought back through Edo tensei, again! I've been retired for a week an...
2025-04-03 15:31:46 +0000 UTC View PostGetting past all of this both going in and then back out without getting spotted was going to take some serious planning on my part. Luckily I could make this plan without any real pressure as I had little doubt that the plate was proving hard to figure out for the league. It's obvious function as a boosting item for it's typing was easy to figure out but the people at the league weren't stupid...
2025-04-03 15:23:01 +0000 UTC View PostJust the traits and lifeforce from the beast were enough of a reward for me but to sweeten the deal for Mordy too the dust the corpse turned into had a few items. A shotgun of the rare quality, a shield of the uncommon quality and oddly enough a chunk of gold that appeared to be created from many golden teeth fusing together in the beasts stomach. That threw both of us for a fucking loop but wa...
2025-04-02 14:52:12 +0000 UTC View PostThe pure water flowed off the crystal and into the decanter slowly but continuously until it was full at which point I used my technique to force out all the air as the crystal sealed the water in. I placed the decanter in my loot sack before leaving through the hole I made that the dungeon was already trying to close. I stood in the tunnel outside the rapidly repairing hole and took stock of t...
2025-04-02 14:34:43 +0000 UTC View PostThis wasn't just grief from losing a loved one either but the destruction of precious memories and places. Things that nothing short of reversing time could bring back. Despite this however most people chalked the attack up to bad luck and were mostly just glad I took care of the one behind it and revived some many people. Even though they were genuinely grateful for this the vast majority of t...
2025-04-01 14:42:19 +0000 UTC View PostThe next plate I found turned out to be the most interesting of the lot as I myself had a reaction to it. It was the Draco plate and unlike the other plates that upon being held in my hand I got a sense of their typing energy this plate caused my right eye to react and throb. This was the same eye that Rayquaza gave to me as a blessing and was eerily similar to it's own eye in appearance. The r...
2025-04-01 14:40:18 +0000 UTC View PostI found a couple of quests on the board but only one that I found worth doing. Taking it caused the poster to send me an echo telling me what was up.
"Over in the Arid badlands just east of Shine gravel processor people have been disappearing in the night. Some say they're being carried away by a monster Rakk , one the locals call 'Mothrakk.' She seems to be attracted to fire and that...
2025-03-30 15:26:48 +0000 UTC View PostSatisfied with my haul of meat I headed for the stairs going down.
'You know this has to be the first time I haven't gotten ambushed during an expedition, wonder if they gave up?' I pondered as I walked.
It wouldn't surprise me at all if they did end up calling off the hits after everyone they sent mysteriously disappeared all while I was still walking about without a scratch. Of co...
2025-03-30 15:21:32 +0000 UTC View PostI shook my head "No it's nothing like that, I'm not that fragile. I felt it, the loss of thousands of lives all at once. It was like the Uchiha massacre all over again but much faster and so much worse." I said with a frown.
"I see, you blame yourself for not stopping it then?" she asked softly.
"No, I know that there was no way I could have stopped it without prewarning from some s...
2025-03-28 15:14:42 +0000 UTC View PostOnce the change was complete I stretched causing my joints to pop pleasantly. I raised my right hand and clenched it as I felt the vast power of my divinity pumping through my body like a steady heartbeat pushing blood. It was a strange sensation but not unpleasant at all as in truth I had never felt better. A small flex of my new power and a ball of flame manifested above my fist easily. Anoth...
2025-03-28 15:07:33 +0000 UTC View PostIf they had simply executed him I may have granted these shitheads a quick death but this was clearly a personal attack. These bandits made Baha suffer before leaving him hanging there to succumb to his injuries only after we had left. I inhaled deeply and firmly memorized the scents of each and every last bandit I could smell having been here. I cut Baha down first and spent a few minutes bury...
2025-03-27 15:51:12 +0000 UTC View PostI left shortly after that when Mama Mia glared at us and Freya had to get back to work. The dungeon square was bustling as adventurers were making their way to the guild or the dungeon itself. Some were like me and packed for a long dive while others were in basic kit since they only intended to hit the top floors. I saw hopeful newbies and nervous ones as well. Veterans who were well used to t...
2025-03-27 15:40:29 +0000 UTC View PostThis raised the idea that perhaps the Hyuga elder who was trying to stir the pot previously might have had a point. Clearly Kenzo wasn't merely an S rank shinobi and had been hiding his strength which many found confusing. Why would he hide it? Power was something to be shown off as far as most people were concerned, a sign of status and worth. The idea of hiding power was usually relegated to ...
2025-03-26 15:04:40 +0000 UTC View PostOnce I was back in camp I got started with these tickets by tearing the item ticket in half and summoning that familiar wheel as I prayed to RNGESUS. It spun for a moment before stopping and revealing my prize, a sea incense. Useful for meditation but not really an amazing pull to be honest. Next up was the two skill tickets which once again turned into smoke that then solidified into the roule...
2025-03-26 14:58:13 +0000 UTC View PostWith that settled I bunkered down in my crafting room for the next three days and only came out to use the bathroom and eat. While I did this the others started to grab some quests from the bounty board. Three for now that while I would have liked in on I could skip without issue. The first was to kill some midget bandit who called himself "King Wee Wee" and lived in a literal garbage fort in t...
2025-03-24 14:47:58 +0000 UTC View PostAs unfortunate as it was the slowness of progress that normal people who weren't freaks of nature like Bell and I reared it's ugly head here. Due to being in a group and thus not really in too much danger Lili and the other members of Bells party were all experiencing slow growth. This was not something that can be fixed either as unless they were to delve into the dungeon solo and put themselv...

I met Konan and Yahiko who shared a similar story and together we struggled to survive during the third great war. We distrusted shinobi deeply and so when we were found trying to steal food from one we expected to be killed. Instead the shinobi, Jiraiya sensei fed us and in time taught us ninjutsu and how to live as a shinobi. He...

"Poison type pokemon have a bad rep since they tend to be amongst the most used by criminals. But that is less because they are actually innately drawn to evil acts so much as they are cheap and readily available in most regions. The only typing actually ...
2025-03-22 14:30:51 +0000 UTC View PostThis begged the question of why it wasn't long since brought to heel by the corporations who sought the vaults? The answer was because it was too much fucking work! There was no clear evidence of exactly how many vaults were on this planet, only that there was at least one. This compiled on to the fact that there was a metric fuckton of Eridian ruins and stuff on the planet and nobody was willi...
2025-03-21 14:37:37 +0000 UTC View PostIt was honestly more or less a party trick but the Xenos seemed to appreciate it according to Fels who was acting as the go between for our familia. Most of what the Xenos wanted was weapons and armor along with quality of life type items which was easy enough to supply once I got the measurements from the Xenos who were having the stuff made for them. Like normal monsters all Xenos had very du...

My rage bubbled and boiled beneath my skin as I felt the lives of those in the village get snuffed out all of a sudden. It was a visceral and terrible sensation like the Uchiha massacre all over, just faster. The few who survived where either gravely injured or had been at the edge of the attack and not nearly prepared enough for what hit them. Even with the barrier warning e...
