Chapter 83 – Finding a Way to Profit

AG. Sometimes as an author I think I'm to mean. When you see it you'll know.

For a solid ten minutes they just chattered; then, with an apologetic grin, Corrine brought out the screen once more:

“Sorry. we should keep going and make the most of the time we have.”

Their study switched to focusing on the known enemies from the other fractions. She made a point of only including those who had been there for more than three battles against their faction, so...

Chapter 82 – Connections

AG. Nice long chapter today but no promises for tomorrow. All three kids are claiming they are too sick to go to school. With different symptoms. 1) Vomitting (proven), 2) Coughing (proven and its pretty bad) and then 3) the youngest (8 years old), headache, sore throat, snotty nose (proven) and headache.

Corrine visibly gritted her teeth.

He grinned at her. She was killing him easily, but the GOD’s shield pulling him out a moment before death guaranteed it to b...

Chapter 81 – Introductions

AG. Don't know what to think of this chapter. My text to speech software was running like a sick dog and made my last pass of editing super painful. I meant the whole thing was so disjointed and my levels of frustration so high that I'm not sure how well it will flow. Anyway hopefully it's okay.

Tom decided to test the waters immediately and strode straight to the door. It was time to gain some more information. Nevertheless, he paused for a moment before going t...

No Chapter today (15th / 16th of Aug)

This is the probable cover of fate points. Now I need to finish my last personal edit of book 3 and get covers for book 2 and 3 commissoned and I can release on amazon.

Chapter 80 – Curated Prizes

Once he entered the newly-renamed champions’ foyer, he could immediately see the differences introduced to it.

The layout had changed, even if the smooth metal walls were the same. The floor plan had expanded slightly. There was a door to his left that, as the knowledge deposited directly into his brain told him, led to the lobby where he could meet other people. Right above it was a countdown clock that showed it would be almost four days before he could have his first official fight...

Chapter 79 – Closure

Tom re-opened his eyes and stared at the spot the turtle dog had previously occupied. Despite all of her strength and that dangerous-looking natural armour, she had somehow failed while fighting her six-point five target.

His rule of thumb during the tutorial and in his first life on Existentia had been that, when fighting monsters, he could cross a thirty percent rank difference. That freedom he gave himself was far less when fighting sapients. She had fought something with a rank fift...

Chapter 78 – Opponent Insight

Tom remained in his prone position, his body locked and unable to respond to any of the mental signals his brain sent. It was the time dilation caused by his trait after being triggered by the presenter targeting him. He knew she was being kind, but it didn’t help matters. His mind lashed out at the unfairness of the world and the impossibility of the task he had stupidly set himself. Worse, in his opinion, was that he had wanted the others to fail, and the depravity that type of attitude s...

Chapter 77 – Reality Check

AG. This one is 4.3k words. I'm pretty sure I hit the 20k words for the week and I feel mentally exhausted so it won't happen regularly, but it means that averaged over the last two weeks I beat my 10k minimum.

Four of the contenders had died.

Almost as one, all the survivors did their species’ equivalent of lowering their head to express grief at the deaths. Some made loud noises, others beat their chest, and one spat thick slimy mucus at each of the empty spot...

Chapter 76 – First Contender Scrap

The world flickered, and Tom found himself in a very familiar arena. He was standing dead-centre in a circular, paved area that stretched eighty metres in every direction, right up to the massive walls that rose from the arena floor. They were composed of granite slabs, each of them two-by-two metres square and stacked four high. Above that was the audience.

He shuddered when he remembered the clicking and their bloodlust. Tom did not like that he had to fight in front of them again. He...

Chapter 75 – The Contenders

AG. I'm aiming to do five chapters this week to make up for last week but based on progress so far chapters will likely be later than the normal time for tomorrow and the day after.

The presenter declaring him as being part of the current competition had caused everyone gathered to react. Anger, bitterness, annoyance, and a touch of interest radiated at him from all sides of the room.

“Study it. From its body language, it’s intending to compete,” an a...

Chapter 74 – Resistance Training

The next night, Tom snuck out from his bed the moment he thought he wouldn’t be noticed. Barely an hour has passed since the lights had gone into night mode, and he wasn’t certain everyone was asleep. On the other hand, they would have to have been watching carefully to have spotted him, and six-year-olds didn’t do that.

He had been tired all day, and most of him acknowledged that what he was doing was stupid. Ideally, he would be catching up on sleep, but he had an itch. He didn�...

Chapter 73 –Extra Sessions

AG. Apologies for poor communication last week.

I think I'm back. This chapter is 4.6k and I did it mostly yesterday. I'm still not recovered, (my self diagnosis is a flare up glandular fever caused by weakened immune system from covid but who knows.) Chapter tomorrow is fifty fifty but if I miss I'll try to do it the next day

Tom watched as his carefully recorded profile appeared on the wall. This was not official in any sense of the word, and bi...

Chapter 72 – Complications?

AG. Sorry about the missed days. What ever it was hit me hard. I couldn't do anything for like five days straight (Two of them were over the weekend. ) I'm still not fixed and I haven't started tomorrow's chapter but it will come even if it is a few hours delayed.

Two days had passed since he had the dual successes of Instant Strike and Touch Heal. Their addition had been sufficient for him to be offered a chance to com...

No Chapter today - Mon 30 July & Tues 31st July (Tues morning Aus)

Update. I'm feeling slightly better. I'm going to take medicine and force myself to work through the day (I'll still take rests.) It means I'll have chapters by the usual date of Thursday but won't get one out tomorrow.

I've been feeling unwell for a couple of days...

Nothing paricularly terrible but enough tiredness that made sitting at the computer difficult, let alone sitting at the computer doing creative stuff.

Not sure about tomorrow. I'm goin...

Chapter 71 – A Success Well Earned

AG. Second Chapter of Two. This is Thursday's usual file. There will be no chapter tomorrow and I'm not sure about friday as I have to plan the next arc

Tom understood that what he was attempting was both desperate and crazy. He knew that the feint was controlled, that it was just a way to get Tom within the range of its magic. All things being equal, it was not an opening. But, if his calculations were right, then this was an opportunity - admittedly a risky one...

Second Chapter of two

Chapter 70 – Spells from Combat

AG. First Chapter of two.

This is Tuesday's file (I was sick so didn't write it)

the next chapter is Thursdays file. They total up to well over 7k words. Enjoy.

Tom pushed himself up from his doubled-over position and wiped the vomit from the corners of his mouth. He was very aware of the wasps above him, and Danger Sense was screamed at him pointlessly. He wanted to tell it to shut up, but it was ...

Chapter 69 – Isolation Room Shenanigans

Tom entered the isolation room, reminiscing on his decision to defy April and on his refusal to gain Heal Organ at the end of the last trial. Usually, something like that would have been a mistake, but in this instance, it had been the right choice. Attempting a perfect cast of the spell then would have been the height of foolishness. His experience over the last half a day had proven that. Whenever his mana regenerated, he had practiced the process of blending all fifteen input...

Chapter 68 – Heal Brain

The days blended together, and then he was back in the trial.

Specifically, back he was here.

Tom grimaced as he looked around the cave that April had put him in. This was his seventh attempt, with the previous ones having all ended in failure.

“A little, but not too much.” He whispered to her. “Remember, April, if there’s too much brain damage, then I can’t cast. I just need a little injury.”

She did not respond to him, of course. They had already had this...

Chapter 67 – Wador Truth

Tom stared at the description of his new Power Strike ability for a moment longer before looking up at April. He scratched his head.

“It’s tier-one.” He pointed out. “I thought what I was creating was supposed to be a trash tier-zero.”

 She shrugged. “That was the second ding. You got the trash version, then pushed it up immediately to a new level.”

“Was that because I’m brilliant?

“Maybe it was because your teacher ...

Chapter 66 – Obvious Solutions

AG. Feeling pretty good this morning. I expect to get the next chapter out as scheduled on Thursday.

“It was rank-two.” Tom said. “Fine. It was only rank-two. I accept that. But - so what? You can’t deny that the explosion trick worked, and it was the first time I’ve ever attempted something like that. It being effective is significant. I can ramp that up. I can make it stronger, and that will solve the problem. There’s no need for big changes.”

“N...

Chapter 65 – Exploiting the Trait

AG. The day I've warned about has come. I'm sick... well I have a moderately heavy cold and my wife COVID (I tested a couple of days ago and was negative and have no desire to do another test). I'm still confident of getting tomorrows file out but I lost two hours this morning because I slept in and this thing could get worse, so no promises.

Eventually, Tom picked himself up. His brain was still swarming with the implications of being given the trait. However, he was p...
