"I prefer to stay out of the spotlight, but I'm not afraid to get my hands dirty." He watched the woman for a moment as the Traveler who spoke with him a moment before bid them farewell. She was apparently hell on wheels and people who recognized it took the hint and cleared out, especially...

The long march back to Astorea felt almost like a walk of shame. While they had been victorious in their campaign and managed to both ascertain the cause of the encampment's disappearance and seemingly rout it, they had lost no small number of lives in the process. Some of them were on their...

The events of the previous night were fresh in his mind. By the combined efforts of a multitude, they had brought low the foul creature that threatened to unravel their minds and allow its young to feast on their flesh. He recalled the madness that gripped him, and the way that he felt with...

He took a moment to allow both of them to finish speaking, eyes moving between one and the other. Before him were two very different responses to the situation that they had collectively shared. One of them was determined to see that it did not happen again. The other was half-hearted, almost...

"I'm fine," he assured them. And he was. Compared with others who had been rattled by the entire situation, Jin was by far in a better mental state. When @Crimson Ruby commented on how he had gone all out, he waved a hand to express that it was nothing of consequence. "The Fever had set in and I...

The time that elapsed since their near-death experience with the Twisted Matron had different effects on each of them. Some were pensive and took that time to reflect on the danger they had faced. Others who had embraced the fear and horrors, few though they may have been, were invigorated to...

Fire and death. The stench of rotten flesh, bile, ichor, and blood. He could hear, but the ringing in his ears fired off on all klaxons. There was a throbbing in his temples and his eyesight suffered from a reddish haze at the fringes. He could feel the heat, the stinging pain and mind-numbing...

The Matron reared back and roared in defiance of fate. As her body arched, Jin was carried along for the ride, and caught all the whiplash that entailed. Vile energies swirled in the air above the monolithic beast as he was flung skyward, wrenching his wicked weapon free of the monstrosity's...

"Does it validate you?" he asked suddenly. Jin turned to the creature that took the form of a massive man, who created the image of a hero, someone who radiated an aura of courage, and Jin showed no sign of anger. The Bloodsworn had started a fire in this being, such that it felt the need to...

"If I feel so inclined." Jin gave a shrug. The taste of the fungal appendage lingered in his mouth like a fine cheese, something that a man had to work to acquire any enjoyment of. He had no desire to make that kind of effort; but where the bunny woman rushed off to start vomiting, Jin was...

"Mmmm," he watched their surroundings passively as she probed him about his skillls. "Mostly, my skills are centered around my blade and close combat," Jin told her. It was not strictly untrue, but it did omit any information about his magic. In this world, a great deal of what he knew was...

He listened, watched, waited. When she finished, he glanced away from her, out toward the myriad ruins that dotted the landscape. Every so often, he spied one of the legion magitek that made this place a deathtrap somewhere in the distance, lending credence to her assertion that the place was...

3 "Boredom is a relative metric," the Bloodsworn waved a hand dismissively, his smile returning in small increments. It was better that others think less of him, or nothing at all even. If they underestimated or doubted his potential, he had the element of surprise on his side. Showing his hand...

3 His katana snapped out, but the tsuka claimed no blood. Jin sighed. The Bloodsworn's first attack had been a success. He had claimed first blood... and everything that followed seemed to quickly become a chore. Whether it was because the Lepus went on the defensive and her attacks became...

"Ah." He was ever reluctant to give his name, or to be at all memorable. In this world, the ones who stood out were the ones who everybody watched with great interest. It was difficult to live free when subject to the scrutiny of the collective. With a thin line drawn in place of his former...

"Are you seriously ragging on black while wearing your hair in twintails unironically?" "8/10 tho. Bonus points for the protagonist's childhood friend vibe." @Sarina Knights
