2024-11-05 19:00:04 +0000 UTC View PostNate enjoyed the feeling of the wind blowing through his blond hair as they raced across the plains. His hair hung down to his shoulders these days and Kiri had convinced him that upon their return to the Capital that they should go out and get some proper grooming for the both of them. He acknow...
2024-11-03 19:00:03 +0000 UTC View PostNate felt the spatial energies ripple around him like he was being forced through a tube before he passed out the other side, landing on compacted sand. Farsight of the Runic Artist activated, informing him of the nature of the Dungeon.

2024-10-31 19:00:14 +0000 UTC View Post“What a fucking mess,” muttered Nate.
The corpse of Guard Inspector Koriolos lay on the floor, slowly bleeding as the remains of his body continued to die. With his soul energy drained away, he was already dead. The organic husk that had once housed the man just hadn’t yet caught up t...
2024-10-29 19:00:06 +0000 UTC View PostNate sat in his workshop staring at the finished product before him. To date, most of his creations had been functional in nature rather than beautiful. The two bracers he wore and the single armband were just simple bands of metal, concealing the runes within. Even looking back at his Legendary ...
2024-10-27 19:00:05 +0000 UTC View PostNate stared out of the window of the second floor of his workshop as rain pattered against it. The alchemical concoction he had imbibed roiled in his belly. The feeling of the life mana flooding his body stood in sharp contrast to the city beyond the glass panes. Back on Earth he had played witne...

2024-10-22 19:00:05 +0000 UTC View PostThe room Nate found himself in was not at all what he had expected.

2024-10-20 19:00:06 +0000 UTC View PostNate stood in the centre of his workshop, Farsight of the Runic Artist crashing against the plethora of wards that had been built into the walls.

2024-10-17 19:00:05 +0000 UTC View PostNate turned to see who had spoken and found a woman quickly approaching them. He would have guessed her age to be in her late twenties but it was always hard to tell with the increase to lifespan that mana and superhuman Stats seemed to provide. She wore what looked like an armoured skirt, with m...
2024-10-15 19:00:05 +0000 UTC View PostNate frowned at the puzzle-box resting on the table in front of him. The troublesome little cube had continued to refuse to give up its secrets.

Nate appeared at the entrance to the Adventurer’s Guild compound. A second later he felt a burst of soul energy next to him as Kiri joined him. They had shadowed each other the entire way from the University, with him using his farsight sphere of awareness to scout ahead of themselves. He was c...

They had caught sight of it less than a minute ago and...
2024-09-24 20:00:08 +0000 UTC View PostThe only sound that could be heard was that of Nate’s Brush of a Thousand Paints swishing back and forth against the canvas before him.

2024-09-19 20:00:07 +0000 UTC View PostNate watched as Deverell looked over the notebook they had found in the leader of the mercenaries makeshift office. Frick and Kiri waited quietly and if Nate was getting a sense of his Familiar it was that Frick was staying quiet on purpose, probably unsure how to talk to Nate right now.

Nate sat on the floor trying to process his emotions and everything that had happened in the last couple of hours. He was angry, furious even. What surprised him was the target of that fury. His anger was internally, at himself. How could he have let himself be taken or worse, caught so unprepare...

Nate sat with most of the Guildies as Professor Kandel delved into the basics of Embodiment.
