"AAAAAH!" the grunt screamed in pain after his legs were broken but I ignored it as I had Tank wrap him up in string shot silk from the chest down. "Was that really necessary? Not to say that I'm not grateful for your rescue but this is rather excessive isn't it?" the Devon employee said with concern as he looked at the screaming grunt. "I'm a healer so I can be a little rougher than needed to ...
2023-11-09 16:16:31 +0000 UTC View Post"A-are we in danger!?" Lucas asked nervously after hearing what Nick said. "Not because of him or those under him if at all , we have guest right at the moment so I doubt he would do anything untoward." Nick said while taking a book out of his realm. It wasn't anything special , just as book on atronachs he bought from the system. Contrary to how it may seem Nick did regularly use the system ho...
2023-11-09 15:52:47 +0000 UTC View Post"If it is no trouble perhaps you could stay for a couple days while we wait for his highness to arrive?" Jesseph offered in a friendly manner. "That's fine , though I do hope to be subjected to these hungry gazes a little less if possible. Makes me slightly nervous you understand." Nick said and Jesseph grinned showing off his long canines. "You heard him ladies , control yourselves while they ...
2023-11-09 15:48:30 +0000 UTC View PostIt didn't matter anyways since the smoke created by the move was hopelessly thin and white making it actually counter productive to it's intended purpose. The move is supposed to allow the user to be hard to hit thus boosting evasiveness but Rune was bright orange in a cloud of white. If anything it actually made it easier to hit him at the moment but I could see the potential of the move. Like...
2023-11-08 16:36:49 +0000 UTC View PostIt wasn't until they reached the end of the bazaar that Nick spotted a dark skinned man with a dragon tattoo on his forehead and the usual red eyes of vampires. The man had a calm look on his face as he surveyed the throngs of people in the bazaar. He stiffened however when his eyes fell upon Nick and Nick smiled and started to walk over to him. "It was to my understanding that you were dead." ...
2023-11-08 16:23:42 +0000 UTC View PostContrary to how it may seem Nick wasn't just giving out valuable gifts left and right without any protections in place. In any of his crafts that held the potential to harm him in some way he had placed hidden loyalty enchantments that rendered the rest inert should they be used on him. The deal made with Lucas was no different as he had placed a trap within it in the form of the "within reason...
2023-11-08 16:20:15 +0000 UTC View PostTitle says it all , taking a day break to rest my mind a little.
2023-11-07 16:28:42 +0000 UTC View PostI was well rested after meditating for the entire night and even made some slight improvement in my aura. "Your story checks out Alexander , you can go." a jenny said with clear dissatisfaction but I made no mention of it as I stood up and the aqua grunts all flinched as my joints loudly popped. "My pokemon?" I asked calmly while staring down at the jenny as she undid the cuffs they never took ...
2023-11-06 17:05:40 +0000 UTC View PostLucas was subjected to a series of strange experiments within the realm to figure out exactly how normal bloodline abilities in vampires worked. This meant that Lucas had to be subjected to conditions that caused his original ability of water breathing to activate. Nick accomplished this thanks to the water summoning charm aquamenti. He summoned a large orb of water and directly tossed Lucas in...
2023-11-06 16:43:39 +0000 UTC View PostWith that matter settled Nick chose to spend the next week working on his twilight style while cranking out four lessor atronachs per day. Until now Nick had only used the style on the two most abundant sources of celestial light , the sun and moon. The style however was not limited to these at all and could be used to collect the light of each and every star in the sky above. There was a sligh...
2023-11-06 16:35:46 +0000 UTC View Post"How do you plan to handle this boss?" Lucas asked after calming himself down. He might not be the woman's biggest fan after the way she ruined his life but he didn't want her dead or anything. "Well there is a few ways I can deal with this that each might end in a different manner , and when I say "I" what I mean is WE." Nick said calmly. "Do any of those options not lead to someone dying?" Lu...
2023-11-05 17:06:43 +0000 UTC View PostNick spent the next week focusing entirely on these two things and made a good amount of progress on both of them. There were now twenty eight lessor atronachs of various kinds on the island and he had almost finished the sixth year material. Hogwarts curriculum had a bit of a snowball effect in that each previous years materials made the next easier to understand in compounding effects. Jumpin...
2023-11-05 17:01:13 +0000 UTC View Post"I am not surprised to hear that , you do see every bit the ambitious young man after all." Flammel said with a chuckle. "That reminds me , what was that flame you used during the duel earlier?" he asked after taking a sip of tea. "A by product of undergoing a slightly modified ritual of breath." Nick explained calmly. Flammel nodded in understanding "You added to properties of the dragons lung...
2023-11-04 16:07:59 +0000 UTC View PostNick was surprised to hear this as chronostones were horribly rare natural minerals that had the innate ability to mess with time itself. The most common use for the things was to slow down the flow of time in a specific are to the point of almost complete stagnation. This allowed one to extend the shelf life of pretty much anything by many many times. For example if an item that would only las...
2023-11-04 16:02:36 +0000 UTC View PostI got quite a few stares as I walked through the gates of the town but I ignored them to walk over to the nearby Jenny. "I would like to report a crime." I said while ignoring the wary look the Arcanine at her side was giving me. Arcanine were almost synonymous with the the Jenny clan as they were perfect pokemon for crime fighting with their sharp senses and instincts. They were also rath...
2023-11-03 16:02:53 +0000 UTC View Post"Oh? And what might this be?" The alchemist said while studying the glowing red "salt" he had just been given. "Fire salt , when an atronach perishes it 's body breaks down into shelf stable crystal dust that contains dense elemental mana. That jar came from a fire atronach hence the name." Nick explained honestly. "I see! What a curious creation these atronachs of yours are. You never did expl...
2023-11-03 15:49:19 +0000 UTC View PostNick was confused when he heard this as he didn't remember helping anyone with a cloaking enchantment. 'No wait I did point out some flaws for one such thing not that long ago.' he thought and realized who was currently in a hole being poked by sharp spears. "You realize I could have killed you right Mr. Flammel?" Nick said with a groan as he released the eccentric alchemist. "The thought did i...
2023-11-03 15:43:44 +0000 UTC View PostMy food stores took another massive hit with the inclusion of Rune but I had already prepared for this situation by stocking up with food. I had him start his move training almost immediately but quickly figured out a problem. The reason Charmander had scratch rather than tackle as their starting move is because of their leg structure. Rather than being powerful and capable of pushing them forw...
2023-11-02 15:18:53 +0000 UTC View PostThe island was only a few miles across so it didn't take long for Nick and Lucas to arrive at the outskirts of the battle between Seram and the intruder. 'You have got to be kidding me!' Nick thought with a dumbfounded look at the scene that greeted them upon arrival. Standing at the cliffs edge was a small old man that looked frail enough for the wind to blow over that had shoulder length thin...
2023-11-02 15:07:46 +0000 UTC View PostAfter his bath Nick got dressed in his pajamas before heading for the manors dining room to eat dinner. It was a simple meal of vegetable beef stew but in such a large quantity that it could be mistaken as a party sized portion. Sadly it was not as Nick and Steve were the ones eating it entirely. Nazguls dinner on the other hand involved a large portion of Colo-colo souls and all. Much like the...
2023-11-02 15:01:02 +0000 UTC View PostAuthor note: Normally I wouldn't add an excerpt like this but I got quite a few comments on the previous chapter talking about how Alex was being mean and rude. I feel like many of you don't seem to understand the sort of person Alex is despite my best efforts to all but point it out. He is a realistic pragmatist with a bad case of apathy. What this means is that he looks at the situation from ...
2023-11-01 15:18:24 +0000 UTC View PostWith proof of concept now established Nick now set out to create as many atronachs as he could. The first atronach type he focused on was the fire atronachs because he had a theory about them that he wanted to verify. The process to creating them was similar to the way the air atronach was created however Nick didn't add any metal to the forge. What he ended up with was weaker than normal const...
2023-11-01 14:41:09 +0000 UTC View Post"Isn't that illegal though?" Lucas asked with a confused expression. "Horribly so , then again if the ministry knew the laundry list of crimes I've committed they'd bury me under Azkaban so one more makes no difference." Nick replied with a shrug. Lucas just stared at him in stupefaction after getting that answer while Nick casually took out the blood bound diamond and tossed it accurately into...
2023-11-01 14:35:49 +0000 UTC View PostWhile that whole battle was disappointingly easy I was still in a fairly good mood as that was my first trainer vs trainer battle. Would have preferred more of a challenge but I was also aware that I was not in the areas that truly skilled trainers might be found. While it is true that one can technically challenge the gyms in any order there was a sort of tradition about which gym was challeng...
2023-10-31 15:50:53 +0000 UTC View PostNick shuddered as the dense mana rolled over him on the island but quickly adjusted. It was hard to describe the sort of hellish craving that came from going from rich mana to poor mana on a magical being. There weren't any withdrawals symptoms or anything like that but there was this sense of weakness that was very bothersome to deal with. It actually made Nick wonder how the hell the gods eve...
2023-10-31 15:32:18 +0000 UTC View Post"It can't be that bad right?" Hermione asked curiously. Nick shrugged "Depends on what you consider dangerous as well as the circumstances of your visit. If you somehow broke into the island despite the wards then it would be a nightmare as there are Graphorns , gryphcats , horned water serpents , colo-colo and a very powerful manticore guardian. That doesn't even begin to talk about the magica...
2023-10-31 15:28:49 +0000 UTC View PostThat reminded me for whatever reason but employment in this world functioned in a very different manner than it did on earth. See here work was very rarely forced onto someone because of cost of living and whatnot. The reason for this was that it was legitimately possible to survive and thrive off of the wilderness around you. The jobs in this world also function ideally as not only are you giv...
2023-10-30 15:07:54 +0000 UTC View PostNick basically isolated himself in the workshop for the next twenty eight days as he put his new power to good use. Dumbledore gave Nick a suspicious look at the end of this time when he turned in so many more rings than usual. In the end the old goat paid Nick for his work and chose to ignore his strange increase in ability. The old man wasn't stupid and easily figured out what had happened fo...
2023-10-30 14:53:42 +0000 UTC View PostHe was unusually calm after the ritual as though a great burden had been lifted from him and in some ways that was quite true. His newly acquired power may take some training to get his previous level of control over but would otherwise accelerate his preparations against Zeus greatly. Take his current and only active mission for example. Right now he theorized that with his current amount of m...
2023-10-30 14:50:37 +0000 UTC View PostFor most this would be a agonizing and horrible experience as their mana and magical circuits were atrophied or impure and this ritual cleaned them both out , forcefully. Nick on the other hand had pure mana and all of his mana circuits were sturdy and open from the potion he drank shortly after arriving in this world. The increase in quantity of mana was actually from the sheer pressure of so ...
