2022-02-17 04:20:59Everything happened so fast, he could barely follow the events. The Awakened Pondweed broke the net and freed itself from the glimmering white ropes. Igna’s eyes widened, she turned around and swung her blade while shouting a skill to protect herself.
The weedy tendrils closed in on her, only to be burnt away by the flames radiating from her blade. The plant reached for the lake with its remaining tendrils and pulled itself back to the water.
“Oh, come on!” Igna protested with a frustrated tone.
Kyle narrowed his eyes and glared at the pond. The health bar of the Awakened Pondweed was still perfectly visible.
“Wait, it didn’t reset!” He shouted, drawing a surprised glance from Igna.
“Oh.” She muttered before that fiery determination returned to her eyes. “Ok then!” She ran to where the creature stood before and grabbed her somewhat torn net from the ground. She didn’t seem to care about it breaking, so Kyle also pushed it to the back of his mi
DweiaOddly enough, I constantly mistyped the boss' name as 'Awakened Tumbleweed'. Maybe Kyle will come across something like that in the future. Remember that we have a Discord. ( https://discord.gg/smeCbFjSAN ) Take care and stay safe!

Three levels was huge! And so was the level 25 milestone! “Nice,” Igna said with a grin. “So, you’re going full mage?” She asked then, with a thoughtful expression. Kyle shot her a quick glance and nodded. “It’s much safer to stand in the back I think.” He explained. He pondered how to allocate his three new points. “Sure, but if anything gets too close to you, you’re done for. Isn’t some more survivability also good?” She pointed at the constitution stat. “Dying in one hit would… well

“There you go!” Kyle said with a grin as he emptied the crystal fruits from his inventory to the ground. Cacophus watched his jaw open. The green glowing lights that flickered in his eyeholes burnt ever so brighter. “THANK YOU!” He exclaimed. He floated down from the air and hurried over to the fruits on the ground. “I WILL USE THEM WELL! I WILL PREPARE SOMETHING FOR YOU AS WELL!” The lich promised as he began checking every single fruit, once by one. Kyle chuckled. “I’ll let you know if I need anything. Just focus on your research for now.” He stepped towards the door. “I’m off to sleep,” “OH, KYLE, WAIT.” The Lich’s words stopped him in his tracks. “I ALMOST FORGOT. MY MINIONS SPOTTED A FEW HUMANS SNOOPING AROUND.” Kyle’s ears perked up as his heart skipped a beat. “Define ‘snooping around’” “THEY SPENT SOME TIME NEAR YOUR HOUSE, THEN PROCEEDED UPHILL. I HID THE CAVE ENTRANCE, SO THEY DIDN’T FIND THIS PLACE.” Kyle sco
The Lich's Master Chapter 31: Wolf's Howl
The elf’s words rang true in Kyle’s ears as he walked up the winding stone path. This was one of the two ways up the mountain, and the fastest path to this monster camp that was sending waves of attacks at the elven orchard. Kyle kicked a pebble to the side as he walked uphill. The sun was glaring on his back as he climbed the foothills of the mountain. The shadow of the raven circling the air high in the sky passed by him every few minutes. The bird’s existence made him feel not quite so lonely. It took him the better half of the day to reach the vicinity of the camp the elven leader had mentioned. Had there been trees like the other side of the mountain, it would have been quite the challenge to find the camp. But this side of the mountain was barren, even more so now that the Locust God’s venom had been harming the earth around the orchard. There were few plants on this side, and Kyle could easily see the camp in the distance. “Well…” He mu
The Lich's Master Chapter 32: The Fallen Knight Aoris
Her sword reflected the light of the slowly setting sun as the Fallen Knight grasped its leatherbound hilt with both hands. Her armoured gloves creaked as she did so. Kyle slowly stepped back. This was a powerful foe. He clenched his fists. “Fallen Knight!” He called out as he reached for his own sword. “I come on behalf of the Elves!” The knight’s steps did not slow down as she raised her sword. “All under the Light of the Gods must die – you serve the Elves, and I shall be your end!” Her voice radiated with power. Kyle tightened his grasp on the hilt of his straight sword. “And I will bring you back to the light.” He whispered under his breath. She was perfect! The Knight raised her blade, then dashed forward. Ever step she took was calculated, every motion she made, perfect. Her blade descended from above, and she took a step to her left, and turned her body ever so slightly to change the direction of her attack mid
The Lich's Master Chapter 33: A New Adversary
Before summoning the Fallen Knight Aoris, Kyle decided to check if the camp and the wolves he killed had dropped any loot. He smirked as he walked back towards the camp; his fight with Aoris had taken him quite far towards the bottom of the foothills. His heart was still racing from the adrenaline of that fight. He had come so close to dying, yet he felt no fear, just the thrill of battle. It was exciting and stimulating. He chortled and shook his head. As fun as it had been, he couldn’t keep taking such risks. Had it not been for the raven, he would have been dead by now. He needed to prepare some fallback plans just in case something similar happened again. The camp was surprisingly empty. There was a single tent, though it was a large one. The wolves’ bodies had vanished already. There were some logs leaning against a rock, and a campfire that was no longer lit, but aside from that, it was empty. With
The Lich's Master Chapter 34: No Fight is Fair
“Who the hell are you?!” The paladin shouted as the Fallen Knight Aoris’ motions didn’t slow even one bit. Her blade cut through the air, nearly decapitating the spear wielding fighter. Aoris didn’t respond to the Paladin, nor did she pay him any real attention. Even though her face wasn’t visible under her helmet, Kyle could easily imagine the look of focus in her eyes. Her claymore hit the fighter’s spear as he blocked it. Beads of sweat rolled down his chin as he tried to resist the Fallen Knight’s immense strength, but soon his feet began to slide back. As his balance grew weaker and weaker, he shot the Paladin a desperate look. “Are you going to help or not you idiot?!” He shouted in a panic. The Paladin sighed and stepped forward, raising his sword. “Smite!” he shouted. Kyle narrowed his eyes. Holy magic could be dangerous – The Fallen Knight Aoris was a dark wreathed summon after all. A golden light shone on the
The Lich's Master Chapter 35: One Step at a Time
The Orchard was as peaceful as ever. The elves welcomed him, though much less ceremoniously than before. They had gotten somewhat used to having him around by now. The elven leader was delighted to learn of the defeat of the Fallen Knight, though Kyle chose not to mention the small detail of having her as a summon. His gut told him to keep quiet about it. When he asked about the blade he found, the elf simply shook his head. He didn’t know what it was, though he warned Kyle not to touch the blade, lest he get cursed. “Anything that belonged to the Fallen must be handled with care.” He warned Kyle before the young man left with his reward: a pure mana crystal. Kyle stored it safely in his inventory before heading back to Cacophus’ cave. Tomorrow, he was going to go and clear some camps on his own. And as such, days passed with no news from the elves, and no issues from players at all. Kyle focused his efforts on levelling up. He cleared camp after camp
The Lich's Master Chapter 36: The Desecrated Temple
The ruins of the temple Igna talked about weren’t too far from here, but they still had to walk for an hour or so. “What have you been up to?” Igna asked as they followed a beaten dirt path. The rolling hills slowly smoothed, and the terrain became less rough as more trees decorated their surroundings. “Levelling up, just enjoying life.” Kyle said with a smile. “I take it you’re still rank 1?” Igna smirked. “Of course!” She said with a proud expression, though her smile vanished soon after. “Though a particular group of players are very quickly advancing lately. It’s getting disturbing.” “Oh,” Kyle muttered as he absentmindedly opened his character sheet. ‘Kyle – Lv. 32 Summoner INT 20 | WIS 17 | DEX 10 | STR 10 | CON 18 Mana:200 Available Points: 8 Skill Points: 9 Achievements: Lich Killer, Topple the Mountain L

The serene white light changed as soon as they stepped into the garden. It grew brighter, lighting up even the darkest corners of the garden. “Finally.” Azazel whispered. He calmly stepped towards the bright white light. “It’s been so long.” He and the rest of the group arrived before the tree. The Fallen Angel reached for the tree, only for his fingers to touch a barrier surrounding it. The yellow-brown barrier rippled as soon as the Fallen Angel’s fingertips touched it. Azazel flinched, and pulled his hand back as a look of disgust appeared on his face. With furrowed brows and blazing eyes, he turned around, and shouted at the top of his lungs. “Show yourself, Demon!” Droigheann flinched. “He’s here?!” The Demon of the Nightbloom asked wide eyed as he unsheathed his blade, and put his helmet on without hesitation. Luke stepped forward, making sure to stand in front of Caille and Kyle. Igna tightened her grip on the hilt of her blade, while Cacophus’s bony fingers rummaged through
Chapter 276: The Ancient City of Necron (4)
The fully armoured knight dropped his sword and tried to grab the slimy goo with both of his hands. The goo only latched onto his helmet further as he struggled. The man started to stumble a few moments later.Kyle couldn’t help but laugh a little, though his near brush against death kept him from enjoying Jeffrey’s suffering. The knight soon managed to grab onto the goo properly, and threw it away, only to be met with Kyle’s light magic.“Bolt of Light!” The young man shouted, then as the Knight raised his hand to cover his eyes from the bright golden light, he dashed towards him, blade in hand. He hadn’t used a sword properly in ages, not since he’d gotten his Summoner class, and started summoning powerful people such as Aoris, or Irena. But Aoris and Irena were busy protecting the cathedral, and Droigheann had his hands full with the remaining group of enemies.And he had a particular hatred against Jeffrey and his constant stupidity. He grabbed the hilt of his blade with both his

“Oh for fuck’s sake.” Kyle rolled his eyes as the enemy charged at him and his allies. Jeffrey’s ridiculous accusations and ignorant behaviour was the last thing he needed at the moment.Droigheann unsheathed his blade and struck the ground with it. Black veins spread across the grey marble plaza, originating from his blade. They leapt off the ground, reaching for Jeffrey and his allies.“Fire storm!” A voice boomed. Kyle flinched as a whirling storm of flames burnt away the roots and veins. Droigheann gritted his teeth and removed his swords from the ground. “Damn mages,” The Demon grunted as he stepped forward. His helmet materialised in his hand, and he promptly put it on.“SHALL I DISPATCH OF THEM, KYLE?” Cacophus’ sudden question surprised him. “Yeah, please help Droigheann.” Kyle hissed as he pointed at the group. “We shouldn’t waste much time on them.”As he spoke, several shards of crystallised light formed at his fingertips. He fired them at the man leading the charge.“AS YO
Chapter 274: The Ancient City of Necron (2)
Kyle took the first step down the grey marble staircase. As his feet touched the ancient slabs, he involuntarily flinched.Azazel and Droigheann followed just a step behind, along with Cacophus, who chose to float next to them.“AMAZING, IT HAS BEEN PRESERVED PERFECTLY!” The Lich exclaimed, pausing just a few steps in, and carefully inspecting the waist high walls preventing them from falling off the side. “LOOK AT THIS CRAFTMANSHIP!”Kyle shot a glance at the waist hight wall. It was covered in intricate carvings from top to bottom. Just a few meters of this wall must have taken weeks to create, if not more. “Yeah, it’s amazing.”“Just like the legends.” Droigheann carefully ran his finger along the carvings. “A city of ancient wonders, housing powers beyond imagination, made from the most beautiful materials by the best craftsmen ever to grace the face of this world.”“Seems about right.” Azazel pointed at the buildings. “Any one of these would have taken months to perfect, if not y
Chapter 273: The Ancient City of Necron (1)
The Necronomicon’s pages turned on their own. Kyle waited patiently for the book to settle on a page. Once it did, he read through the spell. It was a modified dispel spell.“Stand back, just in case.” He said to the others. Everyone took a few steps back, even Cacophus who had just arrived. The Lich didn’t speak, but the green glows in his eye sockets glimmered and lit up brightly with excitement.Kyle’s lips curled up with a faint smile for a moment before he turned his gaze back to the Necronomicon. “Open thine gates, lift thine veil.” He recited the spell’s words clearly. “Allow me passage to what is rightfully mine, as I hold the Book of Ancient Secrets!”A moment passed before the spell fully took effect. The barrier around the Ancient City of Necron began to lower as Kyle felt his vitality drain with alarming speed. He looked down at the back of his hand with a panic as the few locks of dark hair dangling before his eyes slowly began to turn white.The mark of the Evertree glow
Chapter 272: The Records Restored
The elderly woman took the two pieces of the hourglass in her hand. A faint, almost mellow smile appeared on her lips as she closed her fingers around the pieces of the hourglass. “I am in your debt, Azazel, young man.” She whispered as she clenched her fingers further. The muffled sound of something cracking sounded. Then, a fine dust flowed from between her fingers. The cool breeze caught the dust, carrying it away from the patio. The elderly woman smiled. “No, come back.” Her voice was calm, almost as if she was speaking to an old friend. “I’m right here.” The wind whirled, suddenly changed its direction, and blew the dust right back at her. She closed her eyes and smiled. Kyle braced himself for… something. “It’s alright now.” Her motherly voice reached his ears. “It feels good to be whole again.” She turned her gaze towards the sky. “It is a beautiful day, isn’t it?” Kyle disagreed. Dark clouds covered the sky. “It is good to have you back, Record Keeper.” Azazel bowed his
Chapter 271: The Hourglass
It was a misty morning and getting out of bed felt like a huge chore. He still dragged himself out of bed, albeit slowly, and staggered towards the hot spring. He paused in front of the mirror for a second. The bite marks on his neck were awfully visible. Vis had definitely taken some of her frustrations out of him last night.He let out a sigh and went to take a bath. She was rightfully upset, and he didn’t care about how he looked too much. He bathed, then got dressed and opened the door of his room, only to see Droigheann standing there, leaning against the wall.“I didn’t realise you’d come out.” Kyle said as he fixed his cloak and hair before the mirror.“You were asleep.” Droigheann explained with a faint smile. “You found the second half of the hourglass.” He stated with a hint of curiosity in his voice. Kyle nodded. “We did. We almost died for it too.” He shuddered. “I’m never going back to the Celestial Plane.”Droigheann laughed out loud. “That is indeed a good idea.” The De
Chapter 270: The Waking World
His eyes shot wide open, and he stared at the grey ceiling above him. A couple of moths were walking in rough circles. One of them tried to fly, only to continuously hit the ceiling afterwards.He blinked a few times as he tried to figure out where he was.“You’re awake!” A panicked voice reached his ears. “Rhealis, they’re back!” It took him a moment to recognise Vis’ voice. A cold hand pressed against his forehead as he slowly began to notice the numbness around his right arm. There was a mild pain too.Footsteps approached as Kyle tilted his head to look at Vis. “Did something happen while we were gone?” He asked with a crusty voice. He licked his dry lips. He could use some water right now.“Your arm got charred!” Vis hissed wide eyed. Was she angry? “And the Fallen Angel’s wings started bleeding!”“Indeed,” Rhealis approached them with a glass of water in her hand. She helped Kyle sit upright, then gave him the glass. He drank it without hesitation. The water passing through his
Chapter 269: The Wasteyard of Heaven
Azazel led him through the distorted landscape in a hurry. “They can’t see as well here.” The Fallen Angel explained as soon as they walked through a cathedral door and fell upwards. Kyle hit the ceiling with a muffled thud. A thick, soft carpet had broken his fall.He moaned with pain still. Constantly falling somewhere was slowly taking its toll on him. His back couldn’t take many more falls. “Why?” He asked as he sat upright and rubbed his sides.Azazel flew up and closed the cathedral’s door. “Because of the distortions. They don’t see things as you do. They see what something is, can be, and was.” The Fallen Angel hesitated upon seeing Kyle’s confused expression. “You don’t understand, do you?”Kyle shook his head. “Nope.”Azazel’s shoulders dropped with disappointment. “When you see something,” The Angel said, speaking slower th
