Obviously, before I started us off, my first task was the unfortunate duty of finally letting all of my stats hit me. I was NOT looking forward to this. Sure, It wasn’t even a doubling, as far as I knew, but considering JUST the scrolls were going to net me a whopping NINETY THOUSAND stat...
I considered during the trip what to do with my wishes, and I came to the decision that I was growing too fast. I’d get the stats and renown eventually, but for now, I really needed to learn to actually use my new abilities, and even my old ones. I stockpiled my scrolls and suppressed my stats...
Arriving back on Rackham was surprisingly nostalgic. Not just because we’d brought my friends home safe, but because after the dark and despair filled dungeon, the gentle forests of Rackham were practically paradise.
“We’re back!” Shouted Ray in relief, hurling himself off the shuttle to...
Our trip to Rackham wasn’t immediate. I’d neglected one very important thing during the god fight. Namely, the breakthroughs. All these people had come out of a dungeon, and most were locked at a specific rank because of circumstances. C-rankers couldn’t leave at all, and D-rankers couldn’t...
Seeing my great grandparents together among those black volcanic mountains was…odd. The two of them were so innocuous. Young and relaxed and elegant, standing beside each other like a couple from some royal portrait. “They remind me of Shane and Callie,” my sister said quietly. “I’ve never seen...
Black Sorrow didn’t look even slightly uncomfortable with her position between us and enemy god who had been expecting her. Raxus, to his credit, didn’t look any more intimidated. He looked young, actually. Eighteen or nineteen, pale with sunken dark eyes and floppy hair. Very delicate. He...
The cleanup took less time than expected. Of course, that might have been partially because my head was swimming the whole time it was going on. I might have blacked out a few times. My first discovery after the end of my little rampage was that I had DRAMATICALLY underestimated the toll it...
It felt like it went on for eternity. The moments dragged, somehow spawning from between each other, stretching seconds into minutes. The staff was starting to flag, I’d asked too much of it too quickly. But I had to keep going, had to hold it just a bit longer.
This was the plan. It was all...
We arrived at the doors to the exit chamber about forty minutes later. We kept having to move along the hallway to do our calculations because the energy flows were pushing us, but apparently Skartaris had decided to be sneaky and ended up shooting himself in the foot, because the progress was...
We headed for the exit straight away after combining the groups. Once we were all together, I could see a change in Crell. His previous easygoing snark melted away, and his eyes started to shine with a feverish intensity. Anyone who could hide as deeply and work as hard for a cause as he had...
There were a lot of people surrounding us. Our group was a hundred and fifty people, and they had us outnumbered two or three to one, at least. I grimaced. Someone had sold us out. But the weird thing was, I didn’t FEEL any danger. Even now, my Danger Sense wasn’t going off. I could see the...
The first thing I did the next morning was create and distribute my scrolls. I ended up asking all fifty of the C-rankers to try to offer Creation stats. It wasn’t a commonly used stat for most Ascendants, and mine was laughably far behind the rest of my stats at this point. Once that was done...
The next stage of the conclave was much less mysterious. We’d left behind the basement full of stone pillars and had retired to a large golden ballroom. The walls were white paneled with gold trim, and the floors were white marble inlaid with gold. Weirdly, despite being similar material to the...
The conclave took place in the bones of the tower. It was different than the other towers we’d been to. This was missing Veldran’s cute little complex, underneath this tower was something different. Emptiness. Miles and miles of it.
We came down a small staircase into a colossal chamber. The...
Five days went by in a blur. Forty more scrolls put me at ninety two, just one day short of a hundred (not counting the three emergency scrolls my friends kept on hand), and I wasn’t any less nervous because of the excess. Bethy had been working with Callie and I the whole time, and we’d mostly...
Meeting up with the others the next day was pretty amusing. I woke up, stockpiled my scrolls, and then headed down to see the reactions to my wife’s new trait. Most of them were pretty blown away by Callie’s changes. Her gorgeous blue black wings and new eyes highlighted her costume pretty well...
The changes of the fruit started to appear before Callie woke up. Specifically, my Master Paired Duelling skill changed to become a completely new skill. Master Angelic Bond. It was a Skill I’d never heard of before, nor had anyone else with us. This was especially notable because Serah and...
When we got back to the room, Callie and I called everyone, letting them know not to disturb us, and then settled in to begin the real work. Deciding the best place to do said work was the library, we sat in the living room together, linked hands, closed our eyes, and then I pulled her through...
The next day, after making my scrolls, I met with Dirk, the humanized Bull. I had to admit, I was pretty excited. I’d met plenty of beasts, but none of them had taken human form. I’d been told that most animals had no interest in assuming a human shape on rank up, and it could only happen after...
Carmichael took a bit to get Argaunt settled in, and in the meantime, we were all given rooms to stay in. The rooms were BIG. Like, each individual one was an apartment sized chamber. Callie and I were given a huge two story condo looking space with an open concept kitchen. We could see the...
