Wish upon the Stars chapter 824

We emerged on the outskirts of the island that Highhaven was in the center of. “Island” might actually have been a poor choice of words. Continent was closer, though admittedly it was a small one. Because of that, we had plenty of room to trav...

“So, you’re hoping for an intro to Dezi’s territory?” asked the Citizen with a jovial grin. He tossed back a huge mug of beer, smacking his lips and pulling a small comb from his pocket to comb the foam from his glorious mustache.

I ...

We stopped in front of the building we’d been directed to, and I couldn’t help but stare. “Friendly Bar,” I read aloud. “I can’t tell if this person is really lazy or a recursion genius,” I said with a laugh. 

“Might be ...

We followed the cloaked figure into a long hallway, then up a flight of stairs into an office. Most of us were led to a waiting room, with only me, Callie, Abel, and Bethy following the figure inside. “Please, come in,” they said cheerfully. W...

“I expected it to be more…on fire,” I said lamely as we all studied Abel’s new form. “Or maybe steaming? It looks the same.” His Ragam Blood Body had been adapted by the both of us working together. As a former Master Candidate who had...

Wish upon the Stars chapter 819

I woke feeling oddly refreshed. No pain, no exhaustion, if my memory wasn’t so good I might have forgotten how I fell asleep in the first place. This feeling of refreshment ended nearly instantly as I opened my eyes to see a hideous fish staring...

Callie beamed at me as she called up her stats. Then paused. “Um…do you have some paper I could use?” She helplessly held up her hands. “This isn’t the real world, so I can’t bring my stuff in here, which means I don’t have anything ...

Callie was waiting with the others when we got back inside, and she tackled me in relief. “Shane! What WAS that? Those screams…” she shuddered. “I felt like it was drowning me in my worst fears. I kept seeing visions of you dying, my mom b...

Wish upon the Stars chapter 816

The forms that emerged from the sea mist were only nominally “men”. They had all the parts that made up a human: skin, eyes, even hair to an extent, but those parts were…lacking. The skin was too tight and wrapped around what looked like des...

Wish upon the Stars chapter 815

Landing inside the Screeching Shoals was surprisingly anticlimactic. I was half expecting to be attacked right off the bat, but glancing around, it was clear that we weren’t in any immediate danger. At least not from people. Environmentally thou...

Wish upon the Stars chapter 814

It took less than a day to get to the entrance to the Screeching Shoals. Like my grandmother had said, the Acheron was a whole different beast when she was the one commanding it. I hadn’t noticed a real difference before, but it was clear she’...

“So, dungeons,” I said as we all settled into the Acheron. ‘Are they all like the Moonsong Glade?” We’d just gotten off the damned ship, so it was annoying to have to get back on, giving up the firm security of real ground. I was never q...

“So, what have you all been upto?” My mentor asked as he flopped back down onto his chair. “Heard you’ve had some decent fights. Even killed a C-ranker at early D-rank, that’s pretty wild. Punching up is doable, but most people only mana...

Simon comes face to face with the darker side of Brockton, and how people can be more monstrous than actual monsters.

Wish upon the Stars chapter 811

Our next stop was the Imperial clan descended from Alkem, the Varhana clan. They were a Ducal clan under Duke Darius Varhana, known for their wind attribute abilities. Apparently even in Alkem’s time they had a whole legacy of wind based Skills ...

The banquet was surprisingly energetic. Most of the ones I’d been to were somber, formal affairs, but the Dryads were incredibly lively. Dancing, singing, party games. Rather than champagne or wine they served chilled fruit smoothies (though som...
