Finding a seat at the arena the next day was harder than expected. I don't know why I hadn't assumed it would be packed, maybe because it had been so sparsely populated all the other matches. People had watched from home or just ...
2023-05-26 21:19:49 +0000 UTC View PostI spent the rest of the day moving all of my stuff into the mining company. The place was safe as far as I could tell, with the only sentient creature I’d met being Barew, who never came above ground. Doing it this way let me clean my room out a...
2023-05-26 21:16:18 +0000 UTC View PostI had to admit that the people running this tournament were smarter than I'd given them credit for. The next day was downtime before the semi-finals, and to get everyone pumped they released the names. At this point, everyone had...
2023-05-25 21:23:54 +0000 UTC View PostAnother gdocs chapter link, because I like how it's working out. This one is posting early, but it's 2:30 AM on Thursday where I am. This one is a bit of a dive into Nick's headspace after the funeral, since a lot of people were interested in seei...
2023-05-25 06:29:27 +0000 UTC View PostI was surprisingly pain free when I came to. Well...my body was. My head was fuzzy, but that was to be expected with overtaxing my soul. Oh, and the yelling. The yelling wasn't helping. "Look at him!" Screamed a voice. "How many ...
2023-05-24 22:15:32 +0000 UTC View PostThe inside of the tent was bigger than the outside. Markedly bigger. I had no clue how the magic actually worked, but I knew exactly what kind of mana specialized in these kinds of spells. My kind. This was spatial magic, the first example of it t...
2023-05-24 19:13:26 +0000 UTC View PostMy first move was to immediately trigger Moonlit Night. Danger Sense wouldn't stop trilling in my head, but with the push a second ago it at least dimmed. I'd need to adapt it to the situation so it would actually work. Sensing t...
2023-05-23 20:42:00 +0000 UTC View PostI'm thinking about trying to upload GG like this from now on, as long as nobody has trouble accessing it. Just to save future hassle with 18+ chapters. If anyone has problems let me know and I can switch back to regular posting.

2023-05-23 16:13:51 +0000 UTC View PostHey folks, Greed God 240 was tagged as 18+ and the site gave me some trouble, so for any GG fans I went ahead and uploaded that chapter, warnings and all, to docs, with the link below. Next chapter goes up momentarily.
Today was the day. Round twelve. I got up early so I could finish my goal of ranking up DS Mastery, and was just finishing up the last step of that. Yesterday I'd ranked up Earthseeking to 'Song of the Soil', which increased the ...
2023-05-22 21:17:13 +0000 UTC View PostThree weeks. It took me three. Weeks. A hundred plus gold per day sounded like a lot, but it really wasn’t. The condenser pushed one percent of the mana in a mana stone or crystal into me, which, while much more wasteful than regular condensatio...

2023-05-19 21:37:16 +0000 UTC View PostI stared at the emerald raptly as I rolled it through my fingers. I was in my room above the shop, having finished up my mining for the day, but I was far too wired to sleep, even exhausted and sore as I was. This was…amazing.
Despite the ...
2023-05-19 17:33:06 +0000 UTC View PostI was able to get a bit of sleep before my match. Not as much as usual, but enough that I wasn't really tired or jumpy. Despite that, I was at least a little nervous. The chances of me fighting a team member again, even with the ...

2023-05-17 22:12:33 +0000 UTC View PostI started with my most commonly used tactic. “Oh, don’t you remember? You told me to close down the other day. You came home really drunk and mentioned that we should take some time off to get the customers excited for our grand return.” Thi...

2023-05-16 21:44:43 +0000 UTC View PostI hadn't visited the location where my cousin and her guards were living. With the tournament ongoing and my team's deal not to seek outside help, it seemed smart to minimize contact, but I had at least gotten an address from her...

2023-05-12 18:30:32 +0000 UTC View PostI grunted out a pained exhalation as I dropped the pickaxe, walking over to slump against the wall. I’d been using the one from the second floor, which was a sturdy steel model, rather than the iron pick that had been on the rack on the first fl...
