Only two tonight, but both are rather long. And I wanted to take some time to set these last few things up. After this, we should speed up toward battles and excitement for a while.
Decklan knew what he was doing was foolish. That deep swamp of darkness that he had slowly been wading into over the past year was not Randidly's fault. Yet as soon as...

Donny cracked his neck. He had been called out of bed early because there was a warning about a woman staying so long in a Dungeon that she had developed Aether Sickness, but it turned out to be a false report.
Then again, she’s associated with Randidly… Donny thought with a wince. She might just be a weirdo.
But because of the ...

It's funny. One thing the vacation definitely gave me time to do was think about the overall arc. Which is why we are touching a bunch of different places. I finally known more exactly where we are going, so I just need to plant a few seeds. Don't worry, I'll be sure to keep most everything Randidly-centric.

So many chapters at once is tiring xD.
Due to the relative peace of Scant, Randidly was just letting the noises, smells, and pressures of the crowd wash over him. It was not very enjoyable to stay here, but it was a necessary evil. He would need to make preparations here before he could move forward.
One step at a time... Randidly r...

"Well fuck me sideways," Sam muttered.
In a strange repeat of a similar scene two weeks ago, Donny stood next to Sam while twisting to and fro nervously. The boy certainly had a right to let down his guard at key moments and display his own nerves, but Sam would prefer that he not be included in that trusted circle. This was a bit too much. "What does it mean?"

Not that I like going back on my word, but if y’all are so understanding, I’d rather not go through the hassle of posting this weekend.
Which means there should be a release Tuesday... likely a double release.
So yea, a few good days of rest will do me good.

After another sixteen hours alternating between working on his Engraving and training his other Skills, Randidly finally had a Skill worthy of scaling up.

The Engraving wasn’t easy, but it also wasn’t the slog that Randidly had expected. In fact, it turned out that he had been subtly training for exactly a problem like this for quite some time.
The individual runes he would use weren’t difficult to make. Well, aside from the special Skill related rune that Randidly intended to add to the whole of the c...

Randidly’s process of creating Bloodsteel hadn’t changed much since returning to Earth. The few changes that he had to make were only because the processing facilities available to him were so… lackluster. Basically, assembling a full-scale forge wasn’t possible in a short amount of time without quite a bit of money.
Money that Randidly didn’t cu...

I do need to go back through and clarify some of the earlier chapters talking about Randidly's arm. It's hard for me to remember >.<.

In the half-light immediately before dawn, Ed slipped down toward his bakery.

Oh, and next week will be Monday-Thursday, because I'm going away for the weekend.
With a sinking suspicion in his chest, Randidly closed his eyes and reached for Grasp of the World Seed. It took several seconds, and then the fuzzy shapes of the surrounding plants finally appeared at the edges of his mind. Even then, the...

Randidly was frustrated. A two-week time limit was more than he had expected. Which meant that he both wished that the fight would occur more quickly and that he had more time to prepare. It was a time limit that tantalized him with two separate series of benefits while providing him wholly with neither.
Which was its own sort of benefit, but… Two weeks meant that i...

After the meeting, Donny and Mrs. Hamilton returned to Mrs. Hamilton’s study. Both weren’t exactly upset, but the presentation and arguments that they were prepared to make seemed… almost inappropriate to bring up when Randidly didn’t even mention Level or the training methods used to prepare the Squads.
“The outcome was as I expected, honestly,” Mrs. Hamil...

“You are saying our image is weak.”
Mrs. Hamilton’s voice was low as she stared at Randidly. Her words did not form a question, but a statement.
Randidly looked at Mrs. Hamilton. Truly looked at her. Despite his concerns about her privacy, he looked with his eyes that could detect even the smallest changes in Aether. It took a little focus, but...

Donny exchanged a glance with Mrs. Hamilton. What does Donnyton want to be to the world…? What was Randidly really asking?

Jerome and Jameson watched the door close as Mr. Erickson took Jerome’s armor into his forge to “prepare” it.
Then they looked at each other.

Ed was guzzling wine when Mrs. Hamilton spoke to the group. She needed to act quickly, while he was distracted. This was not a subject that he would normally have much knowledge about, and therefore shouldn’t offer an opinion. Of course, that meant he was all the more likely to say something.

The Hound’s Ladder, Helen came to understand, was an exercise based upon something that Randidly had done previously. It was a reduced version, of course, but it was a training exercise designed to show hotheaded recruits that their individual strength mattered very little in the grand scheme of things.
Before a cohesive squad, an individual could only s...

With a sizzle, the power running through the iron bracer proved to be too much. After dancing with sparks of electricity for a second, the entirety of it split in half with a sharp crack.

It gave him a certain grim satisfaction to take the metal piece out...
