"What did you do!?" Freya demanded with a shocked expression when she arrived.
"What? Oh you mean the whole coffin right? Just got a bit of leveling sickness is all. Should clear up in a day or two at most." I said with a shrug.
"Not that, your soul! It's almost like a spirits but still mortal at the same time." she said with a horribly confused expression.
"Huh? Neat. I assum...
2025-08-27 13:33:21 +0000 UTC View PostActing grateful was annoying but I worked in the customer service industry, faking it was a well learned skill of mine by now. It also wasn't hard to guess the woman's thoughts based on the way she acted. She had probably assumed I wanted to go to the library because the other children were isolating me and she wasn't far off the mark. Not fully there mind you but not totally inaccurate either....
2025-08-26 14:25:03 +0000 UTC View PostSee if it were Roland and Lil who were going to be left behind I might not hesitate at all as they were both well behaved most the time. Brick and Mordy though were not exactly well mannered individuals(a massive understatement I know) and would probably cause some issues. The old man in particular would absolutely but heads with them over their lack of decorum. I might get away with a bit of c...
2025-08-26 14:21:42 +0000 UTC View PostI barely had any coins to my name at the moment with two thirds of them being spent just on contacting Whitebeard. The fifty now to save him as a contact and another fifty when I contact him again in three days. This means I only had a spare fifty for whatever I might need which is not nearly enough to feel secure. Once he comes through on his end with the gold I just need to sit pretty until I...

Not that I minded really as it only made sense that a merchant starting out had a seed starter. Weirdly named starter pack aside I now had one hundred and fifty system coins to my name and wanted to see what the shop was all about before using the search f...

2025-08-22 15:00:20 +0000 UTC View PostI meant it too as even now my body strained to withstand the concept of destruction. I was fairly certain that in order to ease this strain I needed to strengthen my body while also increasing my resistance to the elements that made it up. It wasn't all bad news though as all of my elemental powers could still be used as normal and even a tiny amount of pure destruction could be as well since i...

I had already set up the isolation barrier to keep the sea of cursed energy overhead from reacting to this little event of mine. To my surprise I didn't actually feel all that bloated despite my vessel being at it's limit....
2025-08-21 13:34:22 +0000 UTC View PostLife's a funny thing sometimes.
One moment you had years left to do whatever you wanted and the next it's all over and you can't help wondering, did I do my best? In recent months I couldn't help but ponder such thoughts after I collapsed in the convention I was at. Honestly it felt like a fairly good day so far before that. I got dressed in my best Ash Ketchum cosplay, plastic pokeballs ...

"Probably safe since I'm just integrating some nonphysical traits. Then again this IS my second siren trait being integrated so maybe stand a little further back." I said with a shrug.
As I said I was going to fuse a few of the traits I had stacked up within me right now. Specifically [Tinkering instinct-Ra...
2025-08-20 14:34:47 +0000 UTC View PostThe reason I referred to the woman as a thing rather than a person was that there was a serious corruption in it like someone had jammed both an normal soul and a Xeno soul into the same body haphazardly. The normal soul sort of subsumed the Xeno soul into this twisted shape that I genuinely doubted was healthy. The benefits of it were immediately clear though as like a monster this thing could...
2025-08-18 14:13:49 +0000 UTC View PostMy jaw dropped at what I was seeing. Not the existence of Phase trance in Steele as that was expected but the sheer density of lifeforce the vault monster held. Weirdly though it only had three extremely powerful traits and two of them had the (Fragment) label on them meaning they weren't complete. I couldn't understand if that was normal or not and simply shrugged as I took all three of the th...
2025-08-17 14:37:21 +0000 UTC View PostAfter that nothing really changed despite the vast majority of gods in the world looking for the source of the disturbance in fate. As that grand concept settled down the trail grew colder and colder until it simply couldn't be followed anymore. I got a good laugh at all the jobs posted on the wall in the guild asking for any information on the matter by various gods, including Ouranos himself....
2025-08-16 15:05:58 +0000 UTC View PostAs we walked up the stairs to the vault I noticed that there was a volcano just further past the broken stone structures of Eridian make seeping lava constantly. The area of the vault itself was wide open and exposed to the sky at the foot of this volcano. There was a sort of stone dais that had the pieces of the vault key floating over it and Steele standing next to it protected by nearly five...

And in your case" I pointed at Freya this time "because the cursed technique I used is paradoxical in nature, it had to be to do what I wanted. Cursed energy is great about touching concepts in case it wasn't abundantly obvious by now." I said with a proud grin.

2025-08-12 13:38:37 +0000 UTC View PostAnyways the snow crunched under our feet and the sound of explosions and gunfire filled the air as we followed the path hurriedly. Our arrival was kinda expected this time as apparently at least one soldier noticed that the strange red and purple energy snaking through the air was going the opposite direction of the vault. That was kinda my bad but I was not stopping if I didn't have to. I was ...
2025-08-11 13:55:05 +0000 UTC View PostThe final touch needed for the weapons to be complete in my opinion was the cursed techniques that would give them that special something only my weapons had. In this case I had just the thing in mind. I started by downing an undiluted mana potion causing my cursed energy generation to skyrocket. From there I took one blade in each hand and closed my eye as a began to construct the cursed techn...

"There!" I yelled pointing it out causing the others to join me as we made a mad dash for it.
The Lancemen quickly moved pressure from the Seraphs to us once we did this however. This raised their mortality rate drastically as the Seraphs quickly st...

"Good to see you too Giratina." I said with a smile. To my surprise the dar...

The first grunt that was unfortunate enough to cross my path as I walked down the corridor barely had time to register what she was seeing before my spear had severed her head from her shoulders.
