The creature appeared to be in that transcendent state beyond pain as she looked up at him with eyes that pleaded for liberation. Suffering like one might see in a tortured victim- though how this particular man knew what a torture victim's expression looked like were thoughts best left to the...

The source of that terrible sound was not unlike the cry of a wildcat in heat, largely in that it only attracted a very specific clientele. There were three types of people in Finweald. The first were those adventurers, eager and excited to go off on their adventures, and to help when others...

The capital was abuzz, suffused with new life in the wake of an event that called on members of all four major Guilds. The rumors were quick to move about the strange, demonic energy that had managed to kill multiple people, including a disturbing number of Travelers. In Finweald, the very idea...

The jobs that took him to the fringes of society were the best. They kept him by and large away from other people, and he was able to act without much worry of being monitored. The few exceptions to that rule allowed him to have some degree of control over what exactly he allowed to be...

165 + 82 from Rest/Food Jin felt refreshed and invigorated from the good rest he got, in the arra he had learned about during the informational seminar. While there was some doubt about the absolute safety of the area, nothing had interrupted them and the food he was able to prepare- with...

At first, he thought It was strange for Ari to not want to argue- then it hit him, it wasn't. Between Ari and their other friends from Philadelphia, this was the man least likely to make a fuss about anything. Other than dragging him across the entire globe, there was very little dissension...

165 Counterattacking (-10 damage) 164-50=114-(84-19=74)= 40 HP remaining None of the satisfaction that came with the pain ever found its way to the Bloodsworn. Whereas he put himself willfully in harm's way, and he could feel more than one cluster of Neurons numb out, the heat, the...

"Pff." He scornfully blew off the words Ari uttered with a dismissive wave. "Crazy people continue to do things even when they've learned their lesson," he countered. "I find that type of dedication tedious and wasteful. I have better things to waste my energy on." Ari then mentioned that...

The Izekaya was only slightly cooler inside than the humid Okinawan countryside. He could smell the salty sea breeze from his seat as the fans whipped air around the smattering of patrons, and he sagged in the seat he'd chosen. The proprietress hurried over when he polished off his glass of...

"Scrying? Foresight?" he questioned, "I can't rule it out as impossible, we've seen a lot of strange things and magic in Terrasphere. And events determined by the system don't seem outside the realm of possibility for random calls by various elements within the world- but people? The actual...

165 Counterattacking (-10 damage) 70(-10)=60 damage +59 healing from Ilusa= 1 net damage. The creature appeared and attack before they had any real time to coherently respond. Those with extreme speed were able to respond immediately to the new threat, but it isolated the Bloodsworn and...

When Seto returned with news of a turret, Jin lifted a hand to his lips and closed his eyes. He listened carefully to the information, a battlement from the sound of it. Defensive emplacements like this covered a large area, but they were seldom employed all alone. The chances were if they did...

"I personally see no reason to risk warning the enemy of our approach. To attack at this junction constitutes a gamble. If you fail to incapacitate the drones, whether or not they respond quickly and we are able to advance without difficulty in the short term, with knowledge of an incoming...

The request went out to the Adventurer's Guild just in time for the harvest season. Information on the small city of Vikform was readily available, and realistically, they were willing to accept any level of help for the job, but it was labeled "urgent." Jin wondered silently if that meant the...

Jin lingered toward the rear watching the scene play out quietly, careful to watch the sentries closely for any deviation. Their course was methodical, which he knew, but robotic AI often deviated based on new and updated information. Therefore, when Ilusa and Zelrius began the plan to distract...

140 Location: Knowledge Exchange He wasn't in any particular hurry, but Jin still kept his head down as he sifted through the crowd. The number of people who might recognize him was low, but given his involvement in the incident back in Isulus, it was non-zero. The people in charge were a...

fas fa-message-dots Jin Not a bother at all, this mission is sensitive and victory lies in preparation. I can confirm, I am in the process of gathering intelligence about the topography and various pathways around the Old Capital. Information on the Magitech defenses might not be a bad idea, if...

140 Location: Knowledge Exchange, Whistles Phase 1 His knuckles cracked as he curled each finger in turn and pressed down firmly against them. Half-open eyes appraised his physiology as it responded to the stimulus, aware of the subtle increase in blood flow and awareness as the area was...

"Mmm... not just now," he replied. From what little he knew about death in Terrasphere, it never came without consequence. Whatever that may be, it was possible the traumatic experience of actual death in virtual reality had left the other man at a loss. It was a good stopping point, and Theo...

He took in the words as the man spoke them. "Top Player" was one of the last things a generic Terrasphere player would strive after. It meant looking danger in the face and not fearing for one's own life. Taking chances, and at times, fighting a battle with no way to win. Much like the fight...
