While the man spoke about his experience four years ago, Erick marveled over the quickness with which his wounds were healed. Erased, practically, woven back together as if his spirit had surged from within and willed him whole once more. He hadn't incited the rage of the wolves in the way that...

He still struggled to process what had unfolded. The grotesque nature of the wolves hunting and feeding in their natural environment rattled him, but the sheer brutality of his own magic- effective though it was- dwarfed them in abject horror. He chose Astramancy for the beauty and mystery of...

He glanced toward the girl as she blurted something out that he didn't understand. Was that a different language? Terrasphere was available in many nations provided that you knew where to look, or had the right connections, so the idea that someone might not be a native English speaker wasn't...

115 He watched breathlessly as the other man marched headlong into danger. There were people who were more prepared for challenges like that, he supposed, and as Ash explained what it meant to 'tank,' Erick immediately understood. This was the type of player who chose to protect others, even at...

He got excited and anxious in equal measure as the other man began to explain the history of VR, and the formation of a government agency that sought to virtually eradicate it. This game was like a black market, then. It was something that he should never talk about openly when he wasn't logged...

"Fire magic, eh?" the man scratched his chin thoughtfully. "We can use that to set the mortar more quickly. Yeah, I think that would be pretty useful, lass!" Erick smiled as Pietro gave the woman some words of affirmation and considered his own abilities. He knew what his magic was, but he had...

He glanced sidelong at her as she spoke. Harukami seemed nervous, though whether it was because of him or their situation, he was unsure- until she confirmed it. "Nice to meet you too, Harukami," he spoke softly, letting his eyes drift anywhere around them, and everywhere but her. There was no...

Erick turned to glance at the newcomer with a look of confusion at first, but it quickly warmed to a slight smile. "The more the merrier," he answered by way of greeting. In reality, he was worried that he might have thrown himself into more than he could handle, but another person gave him some...

Faldaren alone was so massive, the idea of traveling the rest of the world was barely even an afterthought. It was still breathtaking how real all of this seemed. The salty air blasted his face the moment he emerged from the treeline, and the humidity was more pronounced. Instead of tree cover...

"They must not be very thorough," he said of the VRSA, though Jimmy was admittedly very out of the loop when it came to current events, government affairs, or politics in general. Most of the world passed him by for the last two or three years, and he made no real effort to get caught up...

There was obvious discomfort in the way that the other man spoke, and that did nothing to calm Erick's own nerves. "Four years ago?" he asked, confused. He was only a teen then, and didn't move in any circles that talked about gaming. Why would the game have been around four years ago, but he...

Well, that was a relief. Someone who didn't stand on ceremony right from the start. He could be at ease as he settled into things. Though at the notion that there were no other games like this one, he hesitated. What could that mean? Had he walked into something hardcore without warning? Instead...

"H-huh?" Deep in the midst of righting himself, Erick could not help but to be taken off guard. He whirled around quickly to face the newcomer and felt his head spinning. The presence of the HUD was still foreign to him, so his peripherals fought to adjust to sensory overload. While struggling...

His world was black. Or was it white? He experienced a range of colors that beggared all things previous. He had seen them before, but he had never stopped to consider them as a spectrum. As the world around him was written into existence by strings of unseen, unknowable code, Jimmy froze. His...

Time. Space. Light. The relationship between the three of these constitutes the basis for all life. Creation, Preservation, and at times of necessity, destruction. Erick began his journey in Terrasphere an apprentice in the field of Temporal studies, and as time marched forward, he learned...
