The flames licked at leons skin but didn't burn him as he walked further and further into the forest. the sheer desperation to stop him that the spiders showed proved that he was starting to get close to the nest. leon didn't care however as he simply allowed his anger to drive his fire forwards in a sort of fugue state. nothing else mattered to him at the moment but the death of this entire sp...
2023-01-24 21:52:47 +0000 UTC View PostEven with his poison resistance the purple toxin sank into Alex's body and he was forced to land from the sudden feeling of nausea and illness that came over him. The trait leveled up once but Alex ignored that notification to glare at the pukei pukei who had ambushed him. From the air the green and purple wyvern blended into the forest floor so he hadn't noticed it until it attacked him. ' I'm...
2023-01-23 22:50:18 +0000 UTC View Post"Yeah , that's fair i suppose. honestly the thousand years had more to do with that old man than anything , he just insisted on taking his sweet time teaching me the ropes." the man said with a sigh. "besides i doubt you two even care about that so much as the fact i refused to join your little game with this world. as you may recall i wasn't much for patience even when i was mortal and divinit...
2023-01-23 20:59:16 +0000 UTC View PostThe next morning after eating the gobul Alex stretched when he awoke in his temporary nest with a bit of excitement. If the fleet commander hadn't exaggerated then today would be the day when he could finally move into his new nest since it's construction was supposed to be wrapped up today. The people of astera had really wanted to make Alex's nest special rather than just a simple hut like hi...
2023-01-21 19:02:12 +0000 UTC View PostLeon shrugged "it's not like you have any use for the stuff and besides i just so happened to have been looking for a good place to gather a huge quantity of it at once anyways." he said honestly. "i'll forgive you if you tell me what it's for later since as you can tell i am kinda busy." opal said before focusing fully on the task at hand. ' it's not like me trying to solidify the life force i...
2023-01-21 19:00:47 +0000 UTC View PostThe requirement to unlock the [venomous tail] was to soak his tail in his own poison two hundred times. This wasn't very difficult to do but was very time consuming instead since he assumed that the soak had to be a certain length of time to count. It wasn't a big deal as far as Alex was concerned since he knew it would take a good amount of time for the story to reach a point he was massively ...
2023-01-21 03:18:42 +0000 UTC View Post"No one would have to know if you just torched all of these things right?" opal asked with her best puppy dog eyes. leon chuckled as he skewered the dog sized spider with his spear killing it instantly. "i won't waste such valuable creatures just because they look like something from a horror movie , not even a good one either because what sort of ambush predator just blatantly walks up to thei...
2023-01-21 00:16:52 +0000 UTC View PostAlex just shrugged at the foreman since he had not really thought about the matter so he really had no clue what would happen past this point beyond him eating some of the monster but that was fairly obvious. "hmm , since you don't seem to care all that much how about we butcher the monster and just give you the meat since we have no use for it?" The foreman suggested and Alex nodded in agreeme...
2023-01-19 21:50:45 +0000 UTC View PostAt first glance the forest looked to be comprised of normal looking trees but you you truly paid attention you would notice that the leaves and bark of the trees were covered in a shiny translucent substance. leon noticed this detail and swiped a small amount of the stuff off and put it on the tip of his tongue. "ptui!" he immediately spat it out with a frown as he lost all feeling in the tip o...
2023-01-19 19:31:53 +0000 UTC View PostMuch like it was described even the aura of a powerful elder dragon wasn't enough to make the monster flee from it's not so hidden spot. 'Honestly if this thing didn't have that glowing antenna and didn't disturb the sand every time it breathed it would be way harder to spot.' Alex thought as he got within eye shot of the monster. Carefully feeling out the currents of the water Alex started to ...
2023-01-18 21:44:38 +0000 UTC View PostJust before the vehicle struck the water three things happened simultaneously , first leon cut the flow of energy to the hellfire , second he activated his spell that coated the entire vehicle in a layer of glowing silver and finally he reignited the hellfire to continue pushing them forward. this all happened so quickly that opal only just barely managed to catch it before she found out that t...
2023-01-18 20:07:03 +0000 UTC View PostAlex snorted at that but didn't deny the statement since he was aware that despite the rough life he lived on earth he was always more concerned with others than himself. This had only gotten worse in this new life of his where he actually had people concerned about him. "You all make it very hard not to be." he wrote on the ground. "Hahaha! aye , good folks'll do that to you. Hard to be a righ...
2023-01-17 22:26:38 +0000 UTC View Post"Who says i don't have a boat in my bag?" leon asked with a teasing smile. opal rolled her eyes "so how exactly do you intend to get to that island without carrying me?" she asked curiously. "tsk , you're no fun at all. since we don't have a boat on had i simply have to make one is all." leon said casually. opal raised an eyebrow "pretty sure that would take a rather long time to do , or at lea...
2023-01-17 19:57:04 +0000 UTC View PostMuch like he said the next morning leon used his hellflame to rocket high above the ground with a special set of goggles on that prevented the frost of space from covering his vision. as for the rest of his body freezing or falling apart leon had a sort of space suit on to prevent that. the twin gods were left fairly speechless when he hit orbit and turned around to observe the entire world bel...
2023-01-16 22:51:41 +0000 UTC View PostNo one in astera so much as blinked an eye at the scene other than those from the fifth fleet who were not used to Alex just yet. Zain felt even worse about his actions when he saw this since it meant his thoughts couldn't have been further from the truth when he attacked Alex. After a three hour nap Alex woke up and walked over to the nearest person he could find and had them take the children...
2023-01-16 21:09:04 +0000 UTC View PostThe rest of the day was fairly boring after that as they traveled further north than any known recordings of people having reached safely. this was mainly due to leon and genesis killing the large groups of grim both normal and alpha. even though leon had a huge amount of exp from his kills and he sent it all into increasing his stats they were still crawling forward slowly. while it was true t...
2023-01-15 21:19:45 +0000 UTC View PostSoon enough the entire body was drained of blood and Alex grabbed a hold of it with his jaws and began dragging it away from this spot before a hungry anjanath or gods forbid rathalos showed up to investigate. Alex could only grit his teeth however at how hard it was for him to move the corpse even with all it's blood drained as it easily weight twice as much as he did and was also bigger than ...
2023-01-15 19:43:33 +0000 UTC View PostThe commander didn't think that this was going to be a problem however since unlike the other monsters Alex was on their side and was a very straightforward individual. Zain looked awkward as he apologized to Alex and asked for his sword back. Alex thought about eating the fire attribute sword just to get back at the man but decided against it in the end and returned it. Once that whole c...
2023-01-14 22:31:03 +0000 UTC View PostIt was a cruel practice that all explorer's had that involved capturing a living herbivore such as a rabbit and force feeding them various unknown plants to see what was safe to eat and what wasn't. opal herself had seen several creatures die horrifically from the things she forced them to eat including one that sped up a deer's metabolism so much it starved to death five minutes later. ironica...
2023-01-14 20:41:00 +0000 UTC View PostWhen the meeting between Zain and the commander was over Zain much like the rest of the fifth fleet went to go see Alex though for a different reason than the rest. This was seen when Zain made his way through the crowd with a stern expression and soon stood before Alex. "Face me beast!" He barked out while drawing his sword. The crowd distanced themselves from Alex and Zain once this challenge...
2023-01-13 22:54:45 +0000 UTC View Post"Hold the fuck up , you can destroy the world!?" opal asked with a panicked expression. leon shook his head "that wasn't what i said , what i actually said was that i had the knowledge on how to do so. not like i ever plan to use the knowledge or share it for that matter since you know i sort of live here after all." he said with a slightly joking tone. "thank the gods for the small mercies." o...
2023-01-13 19:45:39 +0000 UTC View PostThe fifth fleet watched as Alex got ever closer to the town before slowing down and landing gently outside the front gate. Many of the new people were in awe over how careful Alex was to not cause any problems when he landed. What they didn't know was that he had to train himself how to land like this after causing an eruption of spices the first time he landed outside the town from the wind pr...
2023-01-12 23:29:59 +0000 UTC View PostLeon laughed "is that all? i had assumed you actually had a valid concern." he said with a smile. opal sighed in exasperation "first you have that weird flame of yours which is fine i can believe it's your semblance , that is if it wasn't for the fact your semblance is called vampire. then you seem to have some crazy ability to make deals with people that have fatal consequences if broken. as i...
2023-01-12 21:09:41 +0000 UTC View Post[Earth resistance] was an unusual trait as far as Alex was concerned since it probably referred to the ability to ignore the pressure of the ground pressing on you while you dug under it. This fit as well since zorah was actually a subterranean species most of the time feeding on the mineral deposits it finds to grow. Alex didn't see himself using the trait all that often but it was still nice ...
2023-01-11 21:46:44 +0000 UTC View PostThe defenses weren't anything special for leon , just a wide ignorance circle that made grim subconsciously ignore and go around that particular area. leon set up this circle by literally walking in a circle around the area with his aura stamping the ground below him him the infernal script as he went. once that was done he began to pull out a large tent and other camping supplies like a bunsen...
2023-01-11 19:38:01 +0000 UTC View PostOnce the meat was good and cookable the chef took them out of the marinade and set them on the flat top to cook while barking (meowing) out orders to his subordinates to gather various vegetables and spices. Alex watched as onions , garlic , tomatoes , honey ,lemons , turmeric , cumin and basil were gathered and thrown into a huge grinder and mashed and mixed into a thick paste that was then th...
2023-01-10 15:33:25 +0000 UTC View PostLeon grasped her outstretched hand without any hesitation "vermilion drake , i go by leon though." he said while squeezing her hand hard enough to let her know he was physically strong despite his lean figure. "message received violent stranger." she said pulling her hand away with a grimace. "And here i was trying to be nice." she said in mock disappointment. leon shook his head "those things ...
2023-01-10 15:29:37 +0000 UTC View PostAlex was eventually left with a little less than half the flesh he had arrived with and even then it was because he put his foot down and forced the scholars to stop from taking more. The fleet commander had an awkward expression at Alex's angry stare since he hadn't expected the scholars to go so overboard with their collections. Finally left alone with what was left of his haul Alex hefted th...
2023-01-10 00:39:51 +0000 UTC View PostLeon walked for three days before he had a frankly crazy encounter while he was facing off against a group of alpha beowolves that had packed up. each member of this pack was maybe slightly smaller than the average ursa which made it pretty clear they were each an alpha variant of their species. the pack was extremely cautious when circling leon as unlike they had expected he was extremely rela...
2023-01-09 20:28:14 +0000 UTC View PostThe guild had told them what Alex looked like before they left so no one attacked him by mistake. The guild was entirely unaware of the major transformation he would undergo during the fifth fleets trip across the sea however. So now that the fifth fleet finally witnessed Alex they didn't recognize him since his shape and size were all wrong. Thanks to the fact that each and every fleet consist...
