2025-12-13 04:00:18When I arrived at the balcony, chaos greeted me, yet, I cared about two things above everything else.
First, the barrier that was keeping the balcony protected, like invisible glass — was gone, I tested it easily by reaching with my fingers.Second, the state of the barrier was around the floating Court. I had a long range of tests I wanted to attempt, to see if it was triggered by objects that moving from the inside, by throwing several things to test. If it was triggered, I would've been forced to climb the roof courtyard, to see if I could somehow figure out how to sabotage it before Toross caught up with me.Luckily, those weren't necessary. I could see that the barrier was gone, even without throwing any kind of object.The horde of flying beasts, some barely as big as chickens, others large enough to rival elephants, filling the skies, diving toward the upper courtyard without any impediment was enough to show that, their numbers were enough to cover up the sky

#23: Caravan Infiltration
I managed to stay in the river for the whole day, continuing with my unusual method of fishing, even as the beasts got stronger and stronger, though not as much to prevent me from handling them from a strike from my sword.《+54 Experience》 《+130 Experience》 … 《+71 Experience》 《+30 Experience》"At least, it was not all bad," I murmured as I pushed to the surface once more. More confident, now that the darkness had fallen once more, not afraid that I would be noticed by the occasional flying Court or fortress that was in the sky.The number of Flying Courts alone had reached a dozen, while the smaller Courts had reached almost three digits, further highlighting the capabilities of the world I had found myself in.Hiding was turning out to be better and better.At least, until I felt a sudden sense of presence underneath me! One that I recognized as the weight of the Charisma, though it hit me differently than Toross' aura of trust — later replaced with some kind of
#22: River Journey
I forced my eyes open even as I swung my sword, cutting down the approaching beast before I could even get a sense. I didn't want to take the risk of getting damaged, not when my reserves of Health had already dwindled.《+33 Experience》A small gain, but not useless. I swung my arm again, even as I calculated my capacity to hold my breath, my free arm enough to keep me down underwater. Several more fish rushed forward, immediately after the first one, forcing me to swing my arm again.The benefits of the stats were the only reason I could treat the river as a liquid highway rather than the mortal danger it was supposed to represent. The violent pull of the water was easily counteracted by one-arm swimming thanks to my enhanced strength, and the aggressive rush of the carnivorous fish was easily detected by my Perception.Still, I was glad for the enhancement I had received from that Ability. Without it, I doubted the experience would have been as smooth.That did
#21: River Escape
Boring was an interesting way to define a sprint through an otherworldly forest filled with overgrown wild beasts that were getting exceedingly hostile to human life, with some kind of corrupting fire still spreading behind me.But, as the night started to fall down, that was the best description of my mood.The run was hard to describe as comfortable, even with all the advantages given by the stats, but monotone was a good way to describe it. Even the constant attacks of the monsters — with the beasts getting more and more dangerous the farther I had moved from the fire that was still ongoing.Regardless of the healthiness of such a mood, it meant that I had some time to consider my position. First, my assets: a five-denica piece of silver that managed to stay in my pocket despite all the chaos — the bigger piece unfortunately lost — a magical sword that I barely used, and a steel dagger that was at the end of its life due to constant usage.I didn't know exactly ho
#20: Night Run
After the great escape, and that amazing landing that stretched the meaning of what was athletic and what was not, I wanted nothing more than to lie down and wait for my panicked breathing to calm down.But I didn't dare to do so, for several reasons. The forest fire that was currently starting was one of those reasons. The sound of forest creatures, moving toward my location was another. A few creatures that passed near me were enough to confirm that, but I didn't know if the beasts would simply ignore me if the fire went out.Or, the fire could just continue spreading, which was hardly a reason to stay either.I started running. One that would have been counted as a desperate dash, barefooted, a weapon in each hand, but with my supernatural enhancements, it felt more like a comfortable dash."Almost as wondrous as my new life," I found myself murmuring, moving fast enough to put as much distance I could put with the fire, appreciating the weirdness of the life I fo
#19: Forest Landing
The moment I was forced to accept the promotion, a sense of … pulling appeared, emanating from me. The azure stones that were floating around me were impacted by that change immediately. Glowing strings appeared on them, and connected with me, far faster than I could even attempt to dodge, but even as the glow started to flow into my body, there was no sense of damage.I tried to stand up, but my body didn't listen to me.That was not the only energy that flowed to me. A second later, another bolt of red energy slammed against the top side of the vehicle, but rather than starting to corrode the metal as I had expected, it turned into a red mist, one that flooded toward me. It was slower than the azure strings of energy.But I failed to dodge it, lacking the ability to move in the first place.I prepared myself for a disaster, one that could be developed into an intense explosion of pain, one that might prove my end.The red energy entered my body obediently.
