Erick Thiemke

yeah it didnt make sense with the chance of lycanthropy

Medhanie Kidane

Was this a rewrite, if yes I thought he was not going alone?

Erick Thiemke

Disperse impacts across the body

Space Cadet

Can we get a reminder what the bracers are? Were they for archery? I thought that the hairclip was the only archery item. They could be mundane, but the writing came across as implying magic

The 49th Khan

"funneled aether through my night-vision spell form" -i believe this is his Aether sight spell form now, not night vision.

Erick Thiemke

corrected

Andrew Crews

I paused as Raelia was hinting that my dimensional space might * work on the fiend. I paused as Raelia was hinting that my dimensional space might not work on the fiend.

Andrew Crews

I think the night vision needs more detail and explanation. He needs to think through the process with a possible theory for how he imprinted the spell form.

Erick Thiemke

Yes his pool is much bigger. What happens is there is a tugowar with someone he is trying to put in there (or piece of someone) that drains his aether quickly and when he runs out of aether the dimensional space closes. Maybe when his aether pool is in the 50s he could do small animals without bottoming out

Bryan

How is Eryn still bottoming out his Aether even after all his gains? Seems like he should have a much bigger pool than when he brained the Wyvern.

Silver Beard

I paused as Raelia was hinting that my dimensional space might [NOT] work on the fiend.

Connor

Oh yup got it, thanks

Erick Thiemke

good idea but he outlines the object in a box shape to put it in - taking it out he can do just a single item if he clear of its shape

Erick Thiemke

corrected in master

Erick Thiemke

corrected - nice catch

Silver Beard

For all that- the guildmaster will only see a breach of contract when he went after the Alpha instead of his registered goal of seeing the dwarf to his destination. Honestly is a lose-lose no matter his choice. The regents will be closely watching too. Might take a little time but they'll side in Eryk's favor... perhaps even depose the GM.

Jordan

“The aetheric smoke coalesced into a minor essence of agility.” Agility isn’t an essence. Quickness, dexterity or coordination?

Jordan

I paused as Raelia was hinting that my dimensional space might work on the fiend. Might ‘not’ work

saber

I see your point with the chapters being short. But it is still a tactic to reveal a little of the chapter to make readers continue instead of stopping.

Van Helsing is a monster Slayer much like the Belmonts but is most well no for killing monsters to save the innocent.

He and His team were the only adventurers in the region, both the villagers and his employer accepted him doing the quest in public with many witnesses around, there is no case to be built against him.

I thought Van Helsing was a vampire hunter. :/

Warren Zevon FTW!!!

🤣

Tetsu-nii

Re. the title: How "punny" are you comforting with being, 'cause I love "Howl You Doing?" 🤣

Rubeno

Thomas, what youre even talking about?

Rubeno

Already whole nation of elf-humans know about MC being outworlder with space magic.

Rubeno

Girl Has month before she transforms completely. No need to waste aether.

Rubeno

Alpha wolves werent said to be able to polymorph in comparison to normal infected. Albeit i admit it would make for interesting plot. As for whether MC was justified? He acted on best information he had atm. Even if he killed innocents its irrevelant as he hadnt had a way to confirm truth anyway and werewolves are carriers of a disease.

Rubeno

Depends on how authorities analyze the situation. For ex. MC actions can be interpreted as vigilantism or taking away missions from other adventurers.

Salvo

he just killed a werewolf with his storage space, he'll need half a day to do what you're saying.

Connor

When the spear got stuck in one of them could he not put it back In his space then bring it back out in quick succession?

Bananaboat

Amber Alert

Lemes

It will be interesting to see how the guild master will react when he learns that Erick acted selflessly, without any personal gain, exposing himself to enormous danger in order to save the elf girl. It will be a bitter pill for him to swallow.

PatronTurtle

True. He'll probably only get fewer since they're not dungeon mobs

Lemes

Seven new essences in reality. Erick killed two werewolves at first and then five more, including the alpha.

Dominic French

It also wouldn't be the worst Idea to have a bomb on hand at any given moment

Xonian

Maybe “Hound > Wolf”

Erick Thiemke

made me chuckle, might win

Erick Thiemke

corrected both

Erick Thiemke

correcte

Erick Thiemke

corrected

Erick Thiemke

corrected

Erick Thiemke

yes it wouldnt work because he wouldnt be able to direct his aether to his spell form

Jordan

I hope he reveals it too his party soon. Would make a lot of the hoops he’s currently jumping through to hide it go away.

Abdullah Abdulhameed

Yeah but in this chapter he was uncharacteristically acting overconfident when he was always being cautious.

Khress

I am pretty certain that he will reveal it soon. 2 people in his group already know. He hid it mostly because he was scared of the empire

PatronTurtle

6 new essenses is a decent nights work. I'd expect a Major at least from the Alpha

Alex

Nah that will.ruin the book.- as everyone will learn about that dimensional space

Alex

Werewolf or Hound

BubblyGhost

Hound 1 Wolf 0 Btw, everything is supposed to dump out of Eryk's space if he dies right? Should put a Killswitch bomb is his space then, I know story wise I doubt it would ever become relevant but it's what I would do. 'Oh yeah? You manage to kill me, asshole? Well now you get none of my shit and probably die in an alchemical fiery blaze'

BubblyGhost

Bro chill lmao

hrs

as al swearengen would put it "free gratis" lol

thomas johnson

I am upvoting a "Hound on the Hunt" by Chris Hill (Hints at what could be, then we have the dog=wolf, he hints at being a hound, allowing him to be a prodigious hunter/ skill, and finally, his hunting)!!!

Mathias VG

Title suggestion: A fool's dance

thomas johnson

Also, am I the only one who has hooked up, lol, or had intrusive thoughts? Keep in mind that we are in a character's brain; he is allowed to have thoughts, reservations, and yes, even doubts. I prefer both Eryk's over celibate Eryk. Those were dark days indeed.

Aaron Weingrad

Pro Bono work

Daniel kanevsky

I had a very dark thought, what if in a future story, the girl was there voluntarily, she fell in love with one of the wolves and wanted to be turned? She was cast out by the family, and when they realized she was taken in the night, they claimed they "abducted" her? Would make a dark, interestingc plot twist, did he murder innocents and did he do the right thing? If that's the case, I'd say he absolutely did the right thing, they ambushed him first, and he acted on the information he had at the time, but that's just me.

Zera

Since his endurance stat is the highest and he has healing, shouldn't be a problem. Sure he would be a little slower, but an elf child would not slow him down much. So he should make it back in the same day but even if he misses the caravan he would actually gain on them with his speed xD

Deliver roo

I like it. Although, in the end, he wasn’t overconfident.

Deliver roo

Luckly Eryk’s physical stats are over the top. They should be useful in this instance.

Khress

My speculation for the next chapter: girl is alive but infected, he puts her in his dimensional storage to go find a cure

Aiden Wilker

Chap names: Harem Wrecker Old Skills Full Moon Hunt Hound versus Alpha Silver Not Needed Old Values Die Hard (reflecting Eryks willingness to do this because it is the right thing to do)

Silver Beard

I assume he will have to carry the child back...it certainly won't manage the distance in a timely manner. Fair chance it takes more than a day to return and he'll be tired too.

Shane clark

With his healing he can run for miles without much effort

Shane clark

How about WOLF HUNT for the title?

Shane clark

No, because I was concerned, he was falling on me. / NOT because I was concerned, he was FOLLOWING me

Silver Beard

Hope they left Ginger at village. Tough to catch up on foot especially after escorting the girl home.

Rubeno

Better question would be whether Purify Self can affect curses or only physical contaminants. Magebane poison is after all a spell, not real poison.

Rubeno

Cheesy romantic my foot. Dude is a simp. Every time he had friendly sexy time with a woman it automatically equalled serious romance. His lack of self respect was infuriating. Also, that idiot never gave a single thought how his immortality, his adventuring goals or set of abilities would affect his romance. Moreover when he had sexy time with that ship captain initially he was whining about potentially cheating 4 elemental mage but then his whining never had resolution! He just like that had sex with her just because. Partner wise our resident high elf ranger is good choice whether it be by not ruining adventuring goals or lifespan wise but lets hope this romance won't be as fast as MCs others where MC falls head over heels instantly.

Cryin Daily

“Werewolves of Gemir” I forgot the worlds name but use that hit to hit your obligated werewolves of London reference

Rubeno

You're right that title is a hook that can attract reader but it matters only for a book. Chapters don't need one as reader is hooked anyway.

saber

They are ment to be a hook. Something that eludes to the content but not enough just to make you curious.

Salvo

I'm surprised Eryk didn't hand the compass the Maveith, because if he died they'd know. And if he was coming back they'd know, so other 'reckless rescue'[title suggestion] could be avoided. And, if he got infected, they could still deal with him. Its not a secret, and its a reminder to his team he has training they lack.

Rubeno

Chapter doesn't need title. Srsly, titles are useless. I never read them so as to not spoil the chap.

Chachi

man love this version of eryk was getting tired of cheesy romantic eryk🤣

Otto Kovar

sounds like it could but it needing aether to be activated, he could not act against it.

Gravonhaft

Btw, can Eryk's void spell form eliminate magebane poison? "Hounding Werewolf" might be, lol

chris hill

A hound on the hunt

Silfir

Good one

LogicalGay

"Playing Van Helsing"

Andrew

Thank you!

Mark Corwin

With the space in between. Perfect title

Abdullah Abdulhameed

Title: Over confidence..

Ivan Kanewske

retrieved the magebane his the alpha’s chest and let my aether recover retrieved the magebane from the alpha’s chest and let my aether recover

Ivan Kanewske

he tried to take me with his in his death throes. he tried to take me with him in his death throes. 1st his to him

Ivan Kanewske

The werewolves circled the base of the hill as I countered their number. Countered to counted

Ivan Kanewske

No, because I was concerned, he was falling on me, but because I would be able to locate the caravan after confronting the werewolf. No to not Falling to following of

Da Worst John

Title suggestion - "Howl you doing?"

Reece Grimshaw

"WolfHound" for title. Either with a space between the words or without so it is like the actual dog breed.

saber

"The hound unleashed"?

Daniel kanevsky

Title: Wolf's Ambush? Because they tried to ambush the MC, who counter ambushed in turn?

Prinny Knight

Also, Dog days, Der Wolf Blitz, Pup buster, Canis deletus

Prinny Knight

Chap names: Camp Lycan, Lunatics Hill, Furry Frenzy, Howling Raiders, Night with the Moon, Lovers not biters, Wromp with some wolves, and "Mom, there are werewolves, pick me up I'm scared",

matthew dooley

"Weary Night" for title?

inkaral

One wolf, two wolf. Big wolf, dead wolf.

Erick Thiemke

2nd of 4 for cycle. There has to be a good title out there for this one. I did go back and forth on some of the others coming for the rescue but ended up deciding against it. Tomorrow is Town Builder/World Sphere
