Thomas looked over Snowlily's status page and saw just how weak she really was ad felt glad he hadn't sped up too much while carrying her. She was currently snuggled up in his arms whil...

Thomas slowly made his way back in the direction he'd come from. He'd already searched the whole village and he'd only found the hidden tunnel through luck. He maintained a slow speed, he didn't want to move fast and risk awakening Snowlily by jostling her. He wasn't really sure exactly how far from Ulvstad he was. He'd been moving at a decent speed for a couple of hours so he figured he was at...

Thomas's entire mind ground to a halt when the massive white wolf spoke the two words "you pass". It took him a moment to get his mind running once again. When it was finally functioning he asked, "You're the voice I heard earlier?"

The wolf casually sat on its haunches and looked over at Thomas, "INDEED. I AM... I WAS THE DENMOTHER OF THE GAROU."

Even though the massive wolf was no...

Thomas relaxed and let his mana recover to its maximum at an improved rate thanks to his liberal use of 'Serenity'. Of all the skills and abilities he'd unlocked, 'Serenity' was the one he used the most. Though it's rank was no longer the highest among all of his skills and abilities he still felt it was close to the best and would remain that way for a long time. As time passed his mana r...

Thomas found exactly nothing after spending an hour or two searching the entire abandoned and decrepit village. If there had been anything there it had either been looted or rotted to nothing over the course of years. He couldn't even tell how long ago the village had been abandoned. The only clues he had were the overgrowth and that told him nothing. He moved to the center of the village and f...

Thomas went through his usual routine at The Swans Nest before getting some sleep. Even spending a portion of his experience to bump his Power up to 73. The next day he returned to Hekrin's shop to check out his library of blueprints. When he arrived he noticed that the U.L.T.R.A. had disappeared, likely returning to Hekrin's inventory. Inside the shop, Hekrin was standing at his counter like a...

When Thomas and Hekrin arrived at the same clearing they used to test fire the revolver previously, Thomas retrieved the finished Peace Maker from his inventory. He marveled at the feeling of the revolver in his hand. The Soul Wood the handle was made of actually felt warm and soft in his grip while the light grey color of the heart steel seemed almost threatening. Thomas found it kind of inter...

After Thomas and Hekrin returned to town they walked down the main boulevard in the direction of Hekrin's shop. On the way, they came to a stop in front of The Swans Nest. Thomas turned to Hekrin, "I'll see you tomorrow. I should be able to finish the revolver and make a few different rounds to test fire."

Hekrin remained silent as he gave a curt nod and walked off in the direction of his...

After making his way out of the U.L.T.R.A., Thomas went into the back of Hekrin's shop and made his way to Hekrin's usual spot. As he had expected the old dwarf was just idly standing behind his counter waiting for customers that Thomas had never seen. When Thomas stepped into the storefront, Hekrin looked up and cocked an eyebrow, "Ya done kid?"

Thomas nodded, "I got something made up th...

Thomas looked over his bullet materials and let out a small sigh. He'd been unable to purchase any brass in Reykhoten so he held no hope that he could find it in Ulvstad and hadn't bothered looking for it. It wasn't that big of a deal either. Though brass was an excellent casing for bullets, as well as traditional, it wasn't the only material that bullet casings could be made of. Steel was also...

Thomas awoke the following morning and felt relaxed and happy. Last night was the best sleep he'd had in a while. Probably because of the familiar surroundings he found himself in. After a good stretch, he got dressed and took a deep breath. He was getting close, he could feel it, close to freedom to finally do what he wanted to do. Ever since he'd first logged into AoG he'd been running around...

Thomas set the nearly glowing ingot of steel down on the table and opened his blueprint system. He'd been thinking about the design on his Peace Maker and felt it needed some tweaking. The revolver he'd used as a basis felt like it was designed to be reloaded while held in the left hand. Or maybe he'd just found the plans for a left-handed version. Either way, the gun he'd selected used an ejec...

Seeing that Thomas wasn't too upset or flying off the handle from his little trick, Hekrin smiled in approval, "What are your plans now kid? I've taught you all the basics, the rest is up to you."

Thomas thought for a bit while looking at, for lack of a proper name, the portable shop he found himself inside of, "Can I use this place for a bit? I'd like to make a few things and this place ...

Thomas observed the finished grenade for a bit after he read the notices. It didn't look any different from the first grenade he made way back when he first learned Magitech Engineering. He found the fact that the grenade looked just like any other minorly annoying. If he had several grenades of various elements in his inventory it would be hard to tell them apart if he didn't do something befo...

With the blueprint finished and saved, Thomas felt completely mentally drained. He couldn't even focus enough to practice his 'Transmutation' and 'All Seeing Eyes' before he flopped down on his bed and immediately fell asleep. He didn't even need to activate his 'Serenity' ability to help him drift off.

The following morning he was awoken by loud banging on his cabin door. Yawning, Thomas...

It didn't take long for Darren to realize it would be flat out impossible for him to remember how to make a revolver from memory. The more he learned about them the more complex he realized they were. Even though a revolver was a relatively 'simple' gun, it was still amazingly complex and if a measurement was off by just a few millimeters it could cause some serious complications. The worst cas...

Darren opened the lid to his gaming pod and stretched with a groan. Though the pod prevented his muscles from atrophying or becoming too tight, a good stretch always felt nice. After a good few minutes of stretching, he climbed out of the pod and made his way directly to his bathroom. He wanted a nice long and hot shower. His shower spell inside of the game helped but it still had nothing on a ...

As Thomas stood in line and waited his turn at the bank, he realized there was one more thing he needed to do. He still had that god awful kobold hide quest. Even after killing hundreds of the things he'd only managed to collect a total of four. This left him one short of completing the quest and annoyed him greatly. It wasn't the fact that the quest was incomplete that annoyed him, it was beca...

Shortly after Dean Zorzic called an end to the duel, Brao's wounded hand regenerated back to perfect health. There wasn't even a remote sign of the previous damage. Still cradling his hand, Brao quickly left the dueling platform and ran away. Thomas watched for a bit before he dismissed his summoned sword with a sigh. He had not expected Brao to give up and quit after just a single injury.

After entering the cafeteria, Thomas looked around for a bit for Selena. It was a little late for dinner so the place wasn't completely packed, but it still had quite a few people within. It took a few minutes but he finally found her sitting at a table with Treena and Essa, the other female students in the class. Thomas walked over and sat at their table to speak with Selena, "Selena, I was wo...

After reading the notifications, Thomas opened his character sheet to confirm his suspicion. He found that his 'Fire Magic', 'Earth Magic', 'Water Magic' and 'Wind Magic' were all gone. In their place was simply 'Elemental Magic [Life]' sitting at rank twenty-five with zero experience. Thomas was stunned for a moment, then started to get a little upset. He'd worked hard to get all of those elem...

As Thomas made his way towards his dorm room he suddenly recalled something and felt a deep desire to facepalm. Last night he'd been so focused on practicing his magic and abilities that he'd completely forgotten to spend the experience he'd gained from diving into the dungeon! As he stepped into his dorm room he opened his character sheet and looked over his available experience points with a ...

At "The Minotaur's Resting Place", Thomas enjoyed a large thick-cut steak dinner with a couple of mugs of beer. He still didn't know why monster meat tasted so much better than regular animal meat but it didn't matter really. He enjoyed the meal for a while and did as he'd intended, drinking half a dozen mugs of beer before paying his tab and heading back to the academy. He still had a few thin...

As Thomas made his way down the passageway to the next room he summoned up his mana and created a greatsword from the Metal element. He needed to hold back on his speed but he could use the full might of his Power attribute to decimate the kobolds. His experience in the last room had shown him that he was now far stronger than the regular kobolds. With that in mind, he made the greatsword long ...

After a 'bland' breakfast in the cafeteria, Thomas was making his way to the academy entrance wearing his full dungeon diving gear when he spotted a familiar person standing at the gate. He smiled as he looked at Selena, though he was certain she wasn't waiting for him given that they were done with their work together. When she spotted him, he lifted his hand and gave her a little wave while h...

Shortly after Selena left his room, Thomas left as well. He wanted to pick up a few supplies before he started working with his 'Transmutation' innate ability. The last time he'd just messed around with turning stones into simple shapes. This time he wanted to experiment with something a little more complex. He wanted to rank up his 'Transmutation' ability to the point where he could form items...

Selena looked around Thomas's room and let out a soft sigh of disappointment, "Unfortunately, you and I are the only two living things in this room and Unholy magic is really only effective on living or undead targets. Still, you can practice the form of the spell and use it on an animal or something later to get a real feel for it. Enervating spells are the exact counter for healing spells. Yo...

The following morning, Thomas made his way to the academy gates after a 'bland' breakfast. Like every other morning, Selena was waiting for him at the gate, only this time she had on a dark brown cloak with a hood. When she spotted Thomas in his regular clothing she frowned and asked, "Do you have a cloak?"

When Thomas shook his head, she let out a sigh and nodded, "That's our first stop ...

After entering 'The Minotaur's Resting Place', Thomas didn't see Victoria of Janice at any of the tables. Given the time of day, the place wasn't that busy so it wasn't hard to see they weren't around. Holding back any feelings of disappointment he flagged down a waitress and asked about the two ladies. He was quickly directed to a private room off to the side where they were both eating hearty...

After the kobold chieftain fell to the ground and died, the entire group let out a collective sigh of relief and relaxed. The fight hadn't lasted a very long time but it had been stressful and taken all of their focus. None of them believed that they could have won this fight alone. After catching his breath and relaxing for a few moments, Thomas realized he hadn't gotten a system notice like t...
