“Why do all of you talk about Eric?” Marcello asked cooly, summoning his blood stained archeios javelin in his right hand. “What’s so great about this guy, anyway?”
“He’s way stronger than you, and he has an entire army at his command! Unlike you, you homeless, wandering, motherless idiot!” Hilga shouted while backing off.
Marcello sighed, his exhalation of breath vi...
2021-08-26 19:36:21 +0000 UTC View PostHilga and Devin continued to watch as the knight meandered up and down the brook, staring at his surroundings cluelessly like a tourist in a big city. From the perspective of any third party, it was clear that this knight was a complete buffoon.
Both of them were thinking the same thing, that this knight could not possibly be that high of a level if he acted in this manner, like a lost ki...

Lots of revisions later, here it is! In the future I might commission a custom illustration too.
2021-08-21 18:50:21 +0000 UTC View PostMarcello wiped the sweat off his brow with his wrist, breathing heavily with his rusty hatchet in hand as he took a step back and reviewed his handiwork. He had carved this particular totem with the black magic creature in mind, and hoped that the results would show for themselves with a creation that finally had an additional effect just like his Awful Totem of an Ice Giant.
He used the ...
2021-08-21 17:55:58 +0000 UTC View PostMarcello staggered forward, trying to deal with the full-body recoil from his giant transformation as best as he could. His footsteps were heavy and lethargic, but he just couldn’t let this half dead level forty white wolf get away with a clean consciousness.
Experience was hard to come by in this forest, and Marcello really did not want to allow his growth to stagnate after already com...
2021-08-19 00:38:23 +0000 UTC View PostMarcello dropped his plank shield and grabbed his longsword, brandishing it with both hands as he knocked back the great wolf. He slashed his sword across the gray dire wolf’s face with enough force that it knocked him back a couple of meters.
“That's all you got?” he taunted, as this lean level 23 wolf had run quite a bit faster than the rest of his pack and was now facing Marcello...
2021-08-17 02:58:06 +0000 UTC View PostMichael waited patiently at the cusp of his camp, standing with a group of people. To his side was Nolan, who had a small bandage wrapped around the stubs of his ring and pinky finger on his right hand, where the castle lord had sliced them off.
“I don’t think this is a good idea,” Nolan said nervously, looking around the woods. They had set up camp here with a few other groups of s...

“Yeah, I don’t think so.”
Marcello raised his fist and punched the bearded man in the face, just hard enough for it to sting. “That one was for spitting at me earlier.”
Fred cleared his ...

2021-08-13 20:24:33 +0000 UTC View PostMarcello listened intently as Garib explained to him the quest details.
“If you go to the grove, there will be an old silver sword. Retrieve it, and come back here. You will need it for the next part of the quest. But beware, because vicious goblins live in the grove!” Garib said with dramatic flair. “Although I don’t think you’ll have much trouble with them, after all you’ve ...

He used identify on the pair of billowed pants neatly folded in the large golden chest.

2021-08-09 22:17:51 +0000 UTC View PostThe giant lizard king swelled up like a balloon, its rotund belly extending as its head and arms grew larger by the second. This was the King Jaeger’s signature ability, a manifestation of the characteristics of the Terrestrial Biome itself. Everything grew larger here as the flora and fauna were nurtured by the potent vital energies leaking from the world tree’s many gnarled roots. Several...

A bigger sword? A huge physical powerup? Some cheat ability? Plot armor? Haha, no. None of that was necessary.

With a giant round belly that extended from its neck downwards, the lizard with a large frilly dewlap hanging from its neck was huge and intimidating, causing the entire forest to rustle with its every movement. Despite the portly nature of its midsection, a clear indication tha...

“That deer is my prey!” a female voice shouted from across the river bank, out of sight. “If you go that way, you’ll end up like your buddy over there, alright?”
Eric looked down at the convulsing Andrew and then back across the river, trying to find the mage t...

He wasn’t quite sure how to increase his profession tier, but it just made sense that crafting new things with higher grades would steadily...

Killing a castle lord? Insignificant. Gaining access to the lost library of Alexandria? Not even worthy of mention. Chopping trees and trying to turn the giant tree trunk into usable material? Now that was where things got serious.

The pool of water erupted, and a beaver appeared from the depths of the waterfall bed. Except this wasn’t some normal beaver. Due to the excessive ...
