Chapter 963
ToC: https://www.patreon.com/posts/23899958“So many questions, but not an answer in sight,” Randidly muttered to himself. He exchanged a few quick messages with a worried Neveah, who had felt the damage to his Class without knowing how extensive it was.After assuring her that he was fine, Neveah demanded that he produce their new doppelganger so she could possess it briefly and get a good look at him in the aftermath of what he went through. ...

ToC: https://www.patreon.com/posts/23899958“Morning Vye,” Nerrick said with an enthusiastic nod. “Are you free tonight?”“I don’t date men who work with metal,” Vye replied perfunctorily while cursing Tatiana for throwing her so immediately into this shitstorm of work and constant harassment. Then Vye blinked rapidly, letting go of her daydream of climbing distant mountains in the monster-infested wilderness in order to come face to...
Chapter 961
ToC: https://www.patreon.com/posts/23899958Slightly bitter at how much editing I did today, but its okay. I've rewritten the same scenes like three times T.TCracking his neck, Randidly walked over to the bustling industrial center of the Erickson Steel headquarters. Although Tatiana seemed to have a rather grim outlook on Erickson Steel’s future, it was hard to be anything but optimistic while looking around. Men and women in thick leather ...

I had an idea during editing for this mini-arc, but it will me rewriting a lot of what I already have. So no chapters tonight, but I'll put three out tomorrow.

ToC: https://www.patreon.com/posts/23899958 Several hours later, as he was preparing to eat an extremely early lunch, Evan Crane tapped his newly acquired cigar against the side of his desk.Tap.But he only tapped it once. After that first tap, the man paused as he tried to slowly unpack the statement that his subordinate had just reported to him. For several seconds, it was difficult to believe his ears were working properly. Evan set down his ci...
Chapter 959
ToC: https://www.patreon.com/posts/23899958Certainly, the pacing with longer chapters slows these things down. Which is both good and bad.I'll probably go back to the normal release style next week. But this was a much gentler week than I've had in a while.“So…” Randidly frowned at Tatiana and Tykes. The two both wore extremely depressed expressions as they explained what Erickson Steel endured over the last few months. “They want...
Chapter 958
ToC: https://www.patreon.com/posts/23899958When Randidly and Helen arrived, Erickson Steel was bustling with activity like a beehive in springtime.The small tract of land that had originally been the safe space for the many escorts that Tatiana helped ferry out of their prior lives was still there, but it was a tiny blip on the densely packed landscape. Thick pillars of smoke wafted up out of the deep valleys that had dug into the ground. Randidl...

ToC: https://www.patreon.com/posts/23899958Randidly shook his head sorrowfully when looking at the rewards from the Fiery Sharpshooter Path. Basically, everything but the stats had been completely devoured by the Ignition of the Emerald Essence series of Skills. Although it wasn’t quite a Skillset, it was certainly a powerful tool that Randidly had relied on to get to this point.But I suppose it’s worth spending some time to figure out if it ...

ToC: https://www.patreon.com/posts/23899958 Randidly was about to go back to his Path screen and select what he would be receiving next, but a figure approaching the spring gave him pause. Sighing, Randidly straightened and prepared to receive the guest.Lyra smiled like a mischievous fey as she stepped into the clearing. “Am I interrupting something?”“What are you here for?” Randidly asked, doing his best to keep his annoyance from his vo...
Chapter 955
ToC: https://www.patreon.com/posts/23899958Sorry for the late post. Had a date.Also, this week I'm trying something slightly different. As opposed to three short chapters, I'll be posting two longer chapters four times a week. So I can reset and see what the total page count looks like.“Why didn’t he come himself?” Mrs. Hamilton asked quietly. Her hands were tightly folded in front of her, and Helen had the distinct impression that ...

ToC: https://www.patreon.com/posts/23899958 Despite Randidly growing rather numb to his constant growth, he couldn’t help but chuckle when he saw the sea of PP that he had gathered preparing for and during the Donnyton challenge. A lot of it had come from the most recent rung, but there was also some leftover PP from the several days of intensive training that Randidly had gone through to prepare.Honest, he was glad he did; it turned out that D...
Chapter 953
ToC: https://www.patreon.com/posts/23899958Only two, the third chapter was going to be more plot heavy, and I want to be very careful about my treatment of characters.When Randidly awoke, he felt an abrupt sensation of deja vu seize him. Time seemed to stutter and skip, leaving him stranded on the lush layer of grass. The soft bubbling of the creek was so familiar and poignant to him that he felt outside of himself. The memory was so vivid that R...

I wrote another two chapters for today, but I decided to wait to release them until tomorrow with a third. I needed to spend some time outlining. Although I have a general plot, I needed to delve into the details a bit.See y'all tomorrow.
Chapter 952
ToC: https://www.patreon.com/posts/23899958 Alana closed her eyes. Even now, she could see those three attacks. When Randidly moved that first time-A knock came at the tent flap, causing her eyes to snap open. The voice was low and relaxed, but just slightly hoarse. “Are you ready?”“Politics right now, Donny? Shouldn’t we just sleep?” Alana asked.Donny chuckled quietly and then fell silent. As the silence dragged on for a few seconds, A...

ToC: https://www.patreon.com/posts/23899958 Only two today. Need to do a little plotting this weekend. Build my momentum back up.Han Yazhu knew it was petty of him, but he secretly wished that the sinkhole that had opened up beneath the quarry would have continued to spread. After witnessing the challenge, he realized more than ever that Zone Seven needed all the help that they could get.Donnyton’s Squads… those pinnacle experts that fought a...
Chapter 950
ToC: https://www.patreon.com/posts/23899958 What a tiring chapter to write.As Randidly dropped toward the ground, Mrs. Hamilton continued to weave a web of razor-sharp wires around the spot where he would land. She was somewhat nervous witnessing his strange monstrous image take over his body, but even so, he was bound by Beryl’s Isolate. This was the best chance for them to strike, and Mrs. Hamilton wouldn’t let a chance of this magnitude sl...
Chapter 949
ToC: https://www.patreon.com/posts/23899958 As soon as Alana pulled away from the fight, Helen loosened the tight control she had kept over her movements. Her Tides of Blood Domain spiraled around her, dark and thick. The pressure it exerted on Helen was enough to make sure she didn’t forget how deeply she was proceeding into her own image. At this depth, even she was in danger.Yet she needed to utilize that strength now, while she had the chan...
Chapter 948
ToC: https://www.patreon.com/posts/23899958Mrs. Hamilton gritted her teeth as Annie, Decklan, and Kayle all collapsed around Randidly. His propensity for eliminating the sharpest and most powerful warriors on Earth was staggering. These losses were a bitter price to pay for only a few tenths of a second of keeping the man still within the swirling geometric patterns of the magic circles that Beryl created.And of course, doubly bitter because it w...

Bad timing, but needed to handle friends stuff. Today will be this week's break.
Chapter 947
ToC: https://www.patreon.com/posts/23899958 Kayle controlled his body as well as he could, considering that cloud of dust and shattered arena that was produced by Randidly’s arrival. Yet he did not dare hesitate; Randidly had proven himself too powerful a foe to give him more than a second to prepare.Even with the rapid advance, Kayle felt that deathly sucking gather toward Randidly once more, stealing a small fraction of Kayle’s Mana and Sta...
Chapter 946
ToC: https://www.patreon.com/posts/23899958 Randidly’s exhausted Willpower let go of the image of the Grim Chimera for the moment. The sense of release was immediate and long overdue. Maintaining both images at a level where they could affect the battle was a chore. It was a relief to focus instead on only one image: Yggdrasil.Annie fired some arrows upward during his ascent, but Randidly was moving too quickly. Most of Donnyton’s elites belo...
Chapter 945
ToC: https://www.patreon.com/posts/23899958Okay, but tomorrow for real this fight will be over...Alana’s forehead creased with a frown. If it were really that simple to subdue Helen, we would have beaten her already… Ultimately, I misjudged her; she is not a berserker. She’s an endurance fighter.Although at every turn Helen chose to clash head-on, she excelled at making use of the collision to steal momentum and slip out of their encircleme...
Chapter 944
ToC: https://www.patreon.com/posts/23899958 Alana, how much longer? Mrs. Hamilton asked through party chat....hard to say. Soon. But as you expected, she’s trouble.Now that they were forced to reveal Decklan so early, they couldn’t afford to keep allowing Randidly to pick them off one by one. It was time to drag this monster down while they still had spare manpower. Don’t hold back. Even if one of you gets injured, we are going to need you ...
Chapter 943
ToC: https://www.patreon.com/posts/23899958Rather than getting upset, Randidly simply used Aether Detection to inspect it for a split second. Unfortunately, it was not something that he could simply unravel with his understanding of Skills; not without a great deal of time. And for all that Randidly had an advantage, that wouldn’t last if he had to let this Curse of Weakness continue its effect on him. Even now, its influence was rapidly growin...
Chapter 942
ToC: https://www.patreon.com/posts/23899958 Okay, the fourth chapter I planned to release today ended up being too big >.<. So three today, and two tomorrow I guess...Randidly’s eyes burned emerald in the darkening night. Around him, the battle settled into two main theaters: around him and around Helen. Around him, there was a slight lull as Donnyton’s forces moved into position. Around Helen...Seems like Helen will be able to stabilize now ...

Should be able to finish this fight in four chapters, but they will be out tomorrow.Should also get us up to the 10 chapter mark as well for the week ^_^.

ToC: https://www.patreon.com/posts/23899958 “Creeping Frost! Absolute Zero! Creeping Frost!”“Harden! Calcify! Harden! Calcify!”Rather than easing up after their goal had been accomplished, Clarissa and her companion only increased the speed of their Skill usage. Although they were chewing rapidly through Mana, the shield that they maintained effectively stabilized their position in the arena.Randidly frowned the ground, as though truly su...
Chapter 940
ToC: https://www.patreon.com/posts/23899958Helen’s breath came in ragged gasps. Alana was strong. She always knew that. Which was why Helen hadn’t had any intention of challenging her directly. It was Dozer that she had her focus looked upon.Yet why was this fucking bitch constantly trying to kill her?!?! Without even using any active Skills… it was maddening. It was infuriating how stifled Helen felt.Very quickly, Helen had been pushed to ...
Chapter 939
ToC: https://www.patreon.com/posts/23899958 Woo, this chapter is another long one T.TTruly, standing before this image is an entirely different experience… Alana thought through gritted teeth. Even at this distance, the ambient energy it was throwing off was like standing before a wide open oven. Compared to that, her own attempts at contesting the energy were minuscule.As she pulled energy from her connection with Randidly through her Class an...
Chapter 938
ToC: https://www.patreon.com/posts/23899958 Randidly’s gaze scanned through the people who began to filter up onto the stage. Truly, Donnyton was sparing no expense to fight against him.Alana, Dozer, Annie, Sam, Mrs. Hamilton, and Donny all were present, slowly stretching their limbs. With them was a sea of familiar faces that were all powerful in their own right: Glendel, Ptolemy, the Cortez Siblings, Clarissa, as well as the hale and healthy ...
