Chapter 449

The Travellers had made their camp maybe six kilometers from the arachnid-area, so after a short flight, Lenore and I were able to get there. What we saw made both of us pause in confusion, as Lenore circled above the area. For some reason, things...

Chapter 448

AN: Early Chapter, thanks to me mucking up the scheduling. 

The night, and day after, were a lot more interesting than that first day. What annoyed me was that the first truly interesting thing happened when I had been logged o...

Chapter 447

As expected, Sigmir hadn’t been too happy when I told her that Lenore and I would have to check something out two days later. Even that was a bit of a concession on my part, estimated from the place I had seen the Traveller-group the day before ...

Chapter 446

Despite my wishes, night didn’t immediately start to fall once Lenore and I reunited with the others. There had to be some magic spell for that, maybe if I played a song on an Ocarina, but until I managed to get there, I would have to wait for M...

Chapter 445

It took Lenore and me a little longer than expected to make our way back towards Ladrin, as Lenore wasn’t quite willing to push as hard as possible again. Apparently, the feeling of soreness wasn’t too pleasant. Instead, I took over some of th...

Chapter 444

The weave of magic that covered the hillside before us was a work of art, there were no two ways about it. It made me want to go back to Neyto, simply to sit there for a year or five, slowly and carefully unravelling what the Grandmother had craft...

Chapter 443

A strange feeling of loss started to well up within me, when I woke up, driving away the comfort I had felt during my dreams. She was far from me again, after I had been so close to her in my dreams. The memories of my dreams were a little vague, ...

Chapter 442

Following the process I had used the last time, when I visited the edge of Space in the Astral, I let myself flow up one of the streams of power. In many ways, nothing much had changed since that last time. I had an easier time navigating and was ...

Chapter 441

Finding something interesting in the mountains proved to be difficult. Sure, Lenore and I managed to spot a couple monsters that might be powerful enough to put up a fight, one or two that would require the whole party to work together, but just f...

Chapter 440

It was almost as good as flying. But only almost.

After spending the night in a tree to sleep, Lenore was still sore from pushing herself a little too far when the next morning came, while I was physically fine, with only a bit of magical ex...

Chapter 439

As expected, Sigmir was conflicted when I suggested she should head into town with the others. She could easily understand why I didn’t want to head into town, having seen my troubles with civilization from the start and I could see that she was...

Chapter 438

Once again, Lenore and I were flying above the others, scouting the way forward. Not that there was a lot to see, we had spotted a pack of wolves earlier but they had been more interested in getting as far away from Lenore’s shadow as possible, ...

Chapter 437

For most of the morning, we moved relatively slowly, keeping a pace at which we could comfortably talk. Most of the talking was done by Olivia, who systematically described the two possible routes we could take and what she knew about them.

...

Chapter 436

My muscles still sore and tired from the training Mrs. Wu had put me through, I slipped back into the capsule, letting out a sigh of relief at the relaxation. If nothing else, the soft, cushiony memory-foam inlay of the capsule was incredibly comf...

Chapter 435

The question which route to take bothered me, just a little. That it was only a little was mostly due to a lack of information, it was hard to consider which route more suitable if the only information we had was that one went through the mountain...

Chapter 434

The next three days were spent in an attempt to level my long-neglected Athletics-skill. Well, not really, but it might have been the idea behind our hurried flight, given that there was nothing we were actually fleeing from. But to keep the decep...

Chapter 433

By the time I was logged into Road to Purgatory again, the mundian night had passed and the others had already broken camp and returned to the road. A quick check from inside my Hallow made it obvious that they had pushed themselves hard. While Si...

Chapter 432

Lenore’s flight-speed was markedly lower than normal. While most of the burden of the spell we had woven was born by me, she had contributed enough to exhaust herself, though not to the same level I had, leaving me with a throbbing headache, let...

Guys, I need to ask, do you think there is a bug in the Road to Pur...

Chapter 431

Awareness could be a terrible thing. While I thought the others hadn’t noticed just yet, the lack of quest progress made it almost certain that the people we had just killed hadn’t been the bandits we were looking for. Which begged the questio...

Chapter 430

With dense mist shrouding our position, the initial ambush was broken, those precious first few seconds in which the ambushing force could unload on the ambushed, without fear of reprisal. The moments that it took to gather your bearings and wrap ...

Chapter 429

Few things were more annoying than competent enemies, especially if their area of expertise was evasion and obfuscation. After Adra had somehow managed to follow whatever mark the scouts had left on the hard ground, certainly nothing that I could ...

Chapter 428

The next day found us bright and early, after we had spent another night in the grove Sigmir and I had camped in. We had made some plans the night before, mostly that we wouldn’t invest too much time in the search for the local bandits, while al...

Chapter 427

By the time Adra and Rai caught up to us, overall three days after our original exit from Neamov, Sigmir and I had thoroughly lost track of the score between us. Both of us had tried, and often succeeded, to come up with ways to catch or evade the...

Chapter 426

Somehow, this was not the way I had originally wanted to exhaust myself with Sigmir.

With a sigh, I pushed myself off the ground, looking at Sigmir, who looked down on my wiped-out form with a look between amusement and apology. Given that s...

Chapter 425

By the time the banging in my head had stopped and we made our way to the small grove, the person who had hid out within was long gone. But while the person was gone, some tracks of their presence remained, giving Sigmir and me some clues to their...

Chapter 424

By the time I logged back into the game, a few hours had passed and what greeted me, perceiving the world around Lenore, was a road surrounded by fields. The only one nearby was Sigmir, carrying Lenore on her shoulder.

“Welcome back.” Le...

Chapter 423

After breakfast, we headed out as a group, planning to go to the Adventurer's Guild, both to pick up possible quests in the direction we were travelling, maybe something we could turn in when arriving at another branch, and get some information on...

Chapter 422

Thanks to the power of magic, Adra and Rai looked quite well by the time Sigmir knocked on the door, washed up and ready to head down to breakfast. She was rather amused when I opened the door for her, especially when I narrated the scene I had wi...
