Chapter. 21: CarbonizedDarkness, an endless abyss, an immaterial void; everything and nowhere at the same time. Sounds, chilling sounds encroached, scratching, padding. There was a residual feeling, one that told me that I wanted out. I reached to the void and tapped it; tapped and tapped. Eventuall...

BLAIR | Chapter. 20: Incandescent

Chapter. 20: IncandescentEerie clacks filled the cave, it was as if I had stepped into a world of fire in itself. Light shone giving way to a skeletal silhouette, every step rang hollow in my ears. All there was in my mind at that moment was: Run. I tried to use Explosive Shot but with my current ma...

BLAIR | Chapter. 19: Scorched

Chapter. 19: ScorchedI chased after the Boreal Kame, its frost white plumage eluded me, barely catching glimpses of its red scaly spine every now and then. The bird was as fast as me it seemed, getting no good shooting angles I had no choice but to simply follow along. It didn’t seem to be doing a...

BLAIR | Chapter. 18: Tepid

Chapter. 18: Tepid‘Lootboxes,’ as Glim decided to call them, were very useful. So far I had found two more chests, one was on top of a tree, and the other was inside a small crevice under a river. The first box contained a small vial that was in the shape of a tear, one that seemed to contain no...

BLAIR | Chapter. 17: Interlude: Dark Elf

Chapter. 17: Interlude: Dark ElfThe dark elf had left, Dante breathed a sigh of relief, relief that he didn’t need to deal with her anymore. He didn’t even know whether to call her dark elf or just elf, thankfully the volatile lady didn’t seem to mind. All he could do was hate his damned luck,...

BLAIR | Chapter. 16: Everwood; Everdead

Chapter. 16: Everwood; EverdeadApproaching the campsite was easier than I had thought, their sense of hearing wasn’t particularly sharp, at least not enough to hear me step over a small branch anyway, thankfully I didn’t need to get too close to be able to listen in the things they were saying�...

BLAIR | Chapter. 15: Loot

Chapter. 15: LootI sat down inside the crevice, making sure to avoid all vomit. The snake had been gone for about one hour now. I simply stared at the timer trying to distract myself, I was in a pathetic state, my legs were bleeding from the slide, and I struggled to simply not faint from the lack o...

BLAIR | Chapter. 14: Facing The Guardian

Chapter. 14: Facing The GuardianI stared at the snake, baffled. Hah? Glim didn’t scream at me to run, so at least I knew it wasn’t a Knell Boar. Fighting another Knell Boar would certainly kill me even at level 6. I took a deep breath and grabbed my bow, this was the opportunity I was waiting fo...

BLAIR | Chapter. 13: Training & Learning

Chapter. 13: Training & LearningThe arrow had embedded itself deep into the tree bark, far enough to the point only half of it was sticking out. It was as if the Loa Vulpe had been nailed into the tree. In the end, I had to dig the arrow out with a knife, an action that took more than half an hour. ...
