TtOW! - Chapter 16: Carrying the Noobs...err 'Valued Allies'
Taog heaved a sigh. Oh, he would have words for Ateia about impulsively signing what was clearly a magic contract with someone they know practically nothing about. But nothing more could be done at this point. They were committed, like it or not. He could only hope that this would end well.Ateia, meanwhile, was all gri...
TtOW! - Chapter 15: Help Me NSLICE-00P, You're My Only Hope!
Ateia and Taog shrieked and trembled as the wandering knight approached them.“P-Please don’t hurt us…”The armored girl had a heterochromatic eye that appeared to be made of metal. That eye began to glow. Ateia and Taog closed their eyes and hugged one another, gritting their teeth.“Query: Do you possess any i...
TtOW! - Chapter 14: First Contact
It was early morning, before the sun had risen. Ateia and Taog stood over the dining room table, looking over their packs.“Let’s check one more time.”Ateia sighed but she opened up her pack.“Healing potions?”Ateia reached in and pulled out small bottle filled with red liquid.“Check!’“Antidotes?”“Che...
TtOW! - Chapter 13: Mission Parameters Set
NSLICE-00P lowered to the ground after defeating the Ursanus. Rattingtale and Lilussees exited the monster hanger and climbed to her shoulder.“Wow. Like, good job, boss. There’s not like, any leftovers though, or something? Ah, too bad.”Rattingtale’s ears were pressed flat against his head.“Y-Yes yes, g-good ...
TtOW! - 12.1 Interlude: Just Another Day in the Provinces
Canus Sittius Dio groaned. He shivered as something wet and cold landed on his face for only the fiftieth time tonight. He turned over to the other side of his cot, only for a second drop to land on his face. He cursed and leaned out of bed. Looks like his armor would be warmer than his bed today, so he went ahead and ...
TtOW! - Chapter 12: The Bear Necessities...for Termination!
The forest was dead silent, neither bird nor insect willing to sing their songs. Even the trees seemed to sway and groan.For the Ursanus Alpha was on patrol.Its mighty paws struck the ground, as if to lay claim to the very land beneath it. Its shell glistened in the sunlight, as hard and tough as any armor forged by me...
TtOW! - Chapter 11: Training Montage!
And so NSLICE-00P traveled around the area, avoiding any large signatures and targeting the smaller dungeons. On Lilussees’s suggestion, she had begun aggressively upgrading her implants, as she discovered dungeon perk points were actually fairly abundant, and that upgrading her implants also improved her HP and Mana...
TtOW! - Chapter 10: Like, How Do Dungeons Work, Anyways?
Rattingtale scratched his whiskers. His kept glancing at the spider-thing but it was making no move towards him. He shook his head and turned his attention back to the cyborg.“Ok, so, let me help-assist you managing the dungeon, yes yes! Then then, I can keep an eye on things while you grow-train, yes yes?”Lilussee...

TtOW! - Chapter 8: Terminate the Earth Dungeon!
The dungeon was not much longer after the fight with the dirt golems. There were a handful of pitfall traps, but no further battles. As a result, NSLICE-00P had a chance to evaluate the Magic Missile upgrade options and made her choice.[Magic Missile has been upgrade into Dense Magic Missile.]Of all the options, a stra...

TtOW! - Chapter 6: First Steps
NSLICE-00P stood still for quite a while as she conducted her calculations. Rattingtale had gone to sleep, in fact. Finally, after a long while, NSLICE-00P’s robotic eye stopped flickering. She had come to a decision.There were simply too many variables and not enough data at the moment to determine an efficient path...
TtOW! - Chapter 5: Status Report: All Systems Online and Overpowered

But…she had since been freed of any protocols and primary directives. Technically speakin...
TtOW! - Chapter 4: A Mistaken Calculation
Rattingtale heaved a sigh. He spoke and pleaded and bargained and threatened until his throat hurt. But the man-thing had made good on her final declaration, and had not responded to him since. It seemed she wouldn’t budge.Which meant he could do nothing but wait, trapped in these wires and resting in the man-thing...

Accept?]She ignored the notification from the foreign program and scanned her past records.NSLICE-00P had only been the first cyborg the organization that created her had built. And, of course, eventually they had real...

And she had abandoned all s...
