Chapter 17 - Colour Coded

Before a second had passed after opening the doors, Nate was already running to the side. He was pretty sure he was going to get shot with projectiles but that didn’t mean he needed to stand still and be a sitting duck.

Frick, who seemed to be having the time of his life, was floating ove...

Chapter 16 - Two Down, Two to Go!

Nate sat still on the grass among the trees, comfortable in his new robe. Looking over his Stats it didn’t take him long to decide where to invest them. His Intellect was going up quite fast and he would break sixty by the time he was level 20. With that in mind he would rather focus on some of...

Chapter 15 - Fancy Clothes

Nate sat a few metres from the smoking corpse of the Lobster. The euphoria from so much processed mana was quickly fading as he felt his Core spreading the energy throughout his body. His mind quickened under the stream, though the improvements were becoming less noticeable. That made sense to hi...

Chapter 14 - Bonus Round

Frick returned a while later, the little blue goblin holding out the pocketknife for Nate. He wasn’t sure but he guessed it had been an hour or two that Frick had been gone. It was hard to tell but the fire was mostly gone, a few embers still glowing among the ash, so he figured an hour or two ...

Chapter 13 - A Brilliant Idea

Glancing at his stat sheet Nate tracked his progress as he started thinking through plans for dealing with the crab of the lake.

He was very happy with how he was doing. His Magic Power was still ...

Chapter 12 - Better off Alone

Three Challenge rewards and he had to select one. Power, Wealth, or Assistance. That was all the detail that The System had provided him. Not a lot to go on, he thought. He started going through each of the options. Power was a hard one. He didn’t know enough about The System ...

Chapter 11 - Foremans Fury

The construct closest to him was less than ten metres away. Barrier in one hand and his projectile rune in the other, Nate leaned around the corner, took aim, and started feeding mana to the projectile rune through his core. Focusing on his Runic Intent skill, he changed the spee...

Chapter 9 - Bricks and Mortar

Nate woke feeling well rested, despite his stony bed. It hadn’t taken him long to finish cleaning himself the previous day after his meal of somewhat burned boar. He’d washed his face at the edge of the lake and taken a drink before hightailing it back to his nook. Today was the day he’d ex...

Chapter 8 - Survival Skills Lacking

For Nate, the first step to planning was knowing what he was working with. Thinking Status brought up his updated sheet.

He was pleased with the results, and as he sat with his...

Chapter 7 - A Lost Wanderer

Sprinting down the corridor, Nate took a sharp turn into the alcove, and, avoiding the divot in the floor from his earlier explosion, quickly climbed up into his nook. Catching his breath, he tried to calm down. He’d almost died and this time it had been his own fault. He should’ve spent more...

Chapter 6 - Bacons on the Menu

Thinking about the concept of mana moving from higher density areas to lower density ones gave Nate an idea for how to move the mana around in himself. Arikanvil had said that Nate definitely had mana, and since he was constantly tingling he figured the mana in him was much lower than the mana ar...

Chapter 5 - Explosive Dreams

The water itself was a lovely, tepid temperature and Nate knew if he wasn’t being so careful he could easily have drifted off to sleep laying in the shallows. Standing up the water barely reached his knees which made it perfect for him to sit down in, with his knees pulled up to his chest. Nate...

Chapter 4 - Dungeonbound

Nate slowly opened his eyes and immediately stifled a groan; his first thought was one of fear. Was the cat about to get him? That adrenaline leant him focus and his eyes darted around as he sat up too quickly. The wave of dizziness from doing so almost made him blackout again but he stabilised h...

Chapter 3 - Cat got your Tongue

Nate noted there was no kaleidoscopic galaxy or bubble this time. One moment he was in Arikanvil’s portal chamber and the next he was sailing through the air before bouncing on soft grass strewn with leaves. From his prone position he got a first-row seat to watch the spherical portal shrink be...

Chapter 2 - The Wanderer

The purple giant strode purposefully back into the portal room, Nate sat up as he did so, before carefully pulling himself to his feet. His arms still hurt from the landing, and he still felt wrung dry from the mana density overload or whatever the creature had called it. Through the pain though,...

Chapter 1 - A New Universe

At first Nate wondered if he was dead. Was this all his life was going to end up amounting to? A few pieces of art before dying shortly after he turned eighteen? These thoughts plagued his mind for an unknown amount of time before feeling and sight began to return to him. As they did, his jaw dro...

Prologue - Banksy was Right

Banksy was right. That was Nate’s first thought as he jumped the fence onto the railway tracks. It wasn’t the first time he’d done so. But it was the first time he’d almost landed in a pile of shit. So, Banksy was right, tramps really did shit everywhere. Carefully stepping away from the ...
