33 - The Patriarch
<Previous|Index|Next>"Oi, quiet it down, will you?" Simon barked with an annoyed glare, watching the grunts walk through the café."Don't tell them what to do," responded the man next to him, speaking for everyone in the room. Simon glared at the man's feline face and the greying fur around the ...
32 - The Family Business (3)
<Previous|Index|Next>"Could you repeat that?" Really not sure if he heard right, Ryan stared at his uncle with a perplexed expression.Runar sighed loudly, "Listen, it's part of the job, alright? I end up housing a lot of people upstairs, especially individuals that struggle because of curses or mutation...
31 - The Family Business (2)
<Previous|Index|Next>"You're the head of a motherfucking secret society?" Ryan let out almost involuntarily after he heard his uncle's words, and Runar slowly nodded his head."Yes, I am. Your father was supposed to inherit that position, but before that could happen, he cut contact and moved away to...
30 - The Family Business
<Previous|Index|Next>Ryan stared at the sleeping pixie within the cage, and Runar's neck snapped around in a panic, "Okay, I know this looks really weird, but I can explain everything, alright?""Oh, can you? Are you going to explain to me why you have a... a thing that I didn't even know were real i...
29 - Confrontation
<Previous|Index|Next>"Yes, sir, of course! I'm sorry about the delays, I will have the reports on your desk on Monday morning! Yes, of course, I'm making sure that Mister Blanchard's request is well taken care of," Simon Grand sat in his car, a fake, broad smile on his face as he spoke to his superi...
28 - Corruption (2)
<Previous|Index|Next>Ryan formed a link with both of Gaia's fragments; both the one within his mind and the one inside the walking mountain of metal, plastic and glass in front of him. The moment the link fully formed, a sharp pain coursed through his mind; a splitting headache, as a connection with two fragments o...
27 - Corruption
<Previous|Index|Next>Vanda dropped the controller onto the ground as Energiser jumped onto it. Like a wild animal, it began to tear the piece apart, pressing any small piece it could onto its body. Wires and screws and even plastic. All of it was fused into its body in one way or another. However, as it did so, Ryan wa...
26 - Energiser
<Previous|Index|Next>Modak walked up to Ryan and leaned closer toward him, cupping his hand by the side of his mouth as he whispered, "She's... using the fragment as a battery."The orc could practically hear his friend's heart skip a beat as he snapped his head toward him, "What? She's doing wha...
25 - The Gift
<Previous|Index|Next>The dim violet light illuminated the otherwise dark space, filled with smoke and the powerful scent of sweet fruit. A man leaned back against the mountain of pillows stacked up behind him. The deep black lower body of the lamia was wrapped around the table in front of him. He pulled in a deep breat...
24 - Roxie
<Previous|Index|Next>Ryan was seated on the edge of one of the desks, watching everyone get ready again. They had just taken a bit of a longer break, now that half of the Duels had all been fought. Just from those six duels, Ryan learned a lot of things.All the Duellists were unique, and as Richie had said, they all ha...
23 - Instinct or Precision
<Previous|Index|Next>Ryan stared at the system window. His intuition had increased. But... how? The established method for increasing intuition was by trying to sense mana and increase your magical sensibilities. It definitely wasn't just through some fighting. Did his 'Intuition' stat present different to ...
22 - Lightspeed
<Previous|Index|Next>Ryan looked around the room, stepping up to 'Arena 3', though it was really just a square sectioned off with tape. The monitor right next to it already read the names of the two Duellists; Maximus and 'Lightspeed'.Walking up to the person he figured to be his opponent, Ryan stretche...
21 - Trapped
<Previous|Index|Next>[Your Dexterity has increased by 0.01]The window popped up in front of Ryan as he was in the middle of pushing the head of the Hippogriff onto its body. Excited to have increased his dexterity over the next threshold again, he placed the animal model onto the table.In the past few days, by spending...
20 - Putting it Together
<Previous|Index|Next>Modak tiredly pulled open the flat door."Morning," he yawned, giving Silvia a hug, "How're you doin'?""I'm... okay," the elf replied, almost meekly. A bit concerned, Modak looked at her face more closely as he let her into the flat. Her eyes were puffy and red, a...
19 - Wildflower Planting
<Previous|Index|Next>"It was very nice to meet you, Ryan," Dimos said with a smile as he stood by the door leading down to the basement and garage, and Ryan nodded his head, holding the pamphlets and booklets that Yanna had given him."Likewise! I hope you have a good rest of your night," he replied, ste...
18 - Yanna Redhorn
<Previous|Index|Next>"Silvia, Ryan? Sorry, I didn't expect you guys to get here so quickly," the minotaur said with an surprised smile on her face, "I'll take a quick shower and get dried off, and then I'll be right out.""Wait, you know these guys?" the troll asked with a slight frow...
17 - Power Source
<Previous|Index|Next>Ryan and Maximus hadn't gotten a single point in after Richie and Roxie got serious."What..." Ryan looked at the gnome across from him in disbelief, as Richie carefully picked up the robot to look it over and make sure nothing was broken or too scratched up, "...what the hell was th...
16 - Power Duels
<Previous|Index|Next>"Alright, so, what's happening?" Ryan asked, following his friends down the hallway."Just calm down already," Modak replied, "You're so impatient.""Dude, you texted us, told us to come to uni and literally said nothing else. You expect me to not be curious? Do yo...
15 - The Library
<Previous|Index|Next>Deep into the night, the group stepped out of the pub into the open air. Ryan took a deep breath, stepping to the side to make room for the others stumbling around behind him."You guys gonna be fine?" Ryan asked, looking at Modak and Silvia. The orc scoffed and nodded his head immediately.&...
14 - A Night Out
<Previous|Index|Next>Ryan stepped into his room, his wet hair clinging to his back. He stepped up to the mirror, taking a closer look at his shoulder. It did look pretty gnarly. Though the healing gel suppressed the swelling, it was still pretty red. But the stitches looked quite nice, so it at least wouldn't leave...
13 - Emergency Care
<Previous|Index|Next>Ryan kept his eyes closed for a while, just taking in the 'fresh' air of this industrial neighbourhood. But his serene peace was then interrupted by the sound of screeching tires as a number of cars pulled around the corner, stopping right in front of the dungeon's entrance. A person qu...
12 - Fragment
<Previous|Index|Next>Ryan leaned against the wall, biting into the protein bar. He was freaking out too much to look at them earlier, but a few system windows had popped up in front of him.[You have temporarily closed the -Abandoned Copper Foundry- Dungeon][You have killed a Level 3 -Dungeon Monster-][You have levelled...
11 - The Core Room
<Previous|Index|Next>Ryan carefully peered into the hallway. The foreman was gone; he could now try to break through the wall into the hidden office space. However, he still had to be careful; he had no idea if that monster could come back, or if another one might come around the corner any moment now. Just in case, Ma...
10 - Level Up
<Previous|Index|Next>Ryan sneaked around the wooden crate, getting dangerously close to that humanoid figure made of brick, held together by a flower's roots. And then, he finally found the bud of that flower; it was hidden at its side, covered by its arm most of the time. This was going to be a bit rougher to deal...

09 - First Takedown
<Previous|Index|Next>Maximus ran at the approaching stone dwarf, both hands holding tightly onto the improvised war-hammer's handle. The hammer impacted on the monster's ankle, as splinters of the brick that made up its whole body were flung into every direction. The hammer itself was swung back after the impac...
08 - Dungeon Air
<Previous|Index|Next>Ryan wiped the last of the tables clean, getting ready to open the café for the day, glancing over toward his uncle stood behind the counter."You know..." he said, feeling a little awkward, "What was my dad like? From your perspective?"Runar snapped his head around in surprise, ...
07 - Shopping Spree
<Previous|Index|Next>Silvia sat on the couch, sketching something on her tablet, as a towering figure suddenly stood over her from behind. Leaning forward, he placed his fur-covered hands onto her shoulders and glanced at the screen."Well, well, well, who is that supposed to be for? Doesn't look quite so practi...
06 - The Channel
< Previous | Index | Next >Ryan stepped out through the large doors of the Awakened Centre. In his hand, he was holding a small metal card; his Awakened license. On it was his name, date of birth, class, and a small symbol that showed that he passed the test for the additional Dungeoneering license. And though the proc...
05 - Awakened Registration
<Previous|Index|Next>Modak woke up to the incessant ringing of his phone. The sunlight was shining through the cracks between his blinds, and an involuntary groan escaped his mouth. Modak grabbed his phone and turned off the alarm, before swinging his feet over the edge of his bed. His body felt heavy, but he still had...
