B2 Ch. 10 Heart Power
Ichiro left those words hanging in the air as he walked smoothly to a nearby bolder. Tilly leaned forward, unable to keep himself from being drawn in by whatever Ichiro was about to demonstrate.
The lapin samurai smoothly drew his sword, his face taking on an almost reverent expression. Tilly realized he had never seen the blade before, and noted that where Hiro’s blade was made of onyx metal, Ichiro’s blade shone with a silvery light, visible under the bright sun.
B2 Ch. 9 Wax On.
Mulling over Ichiro’s question, Tilly found himself caught between sharing a list of his abilities and their effects or a higher-level summary of how he thought of himself as a combatant. Ichiro registered his hesitation and gestured to a nearby log with a smile. Tilly nodded in appreciation and they walked over together and settled down facing each other.
Tilly started with a simple run-down of his abilities, but the conversation very quickly hopped the rails of what he e...

Erash paused there, enjoying her moment, framed in the entryway of the newly regenerated temple. No doubt she had received the same update they all had about the new “overqualified High-Priestess”.
“This class was the only one available that was an increase in rarity from my last class. According to the system, this deity hasn’t had a high priest in three Epochs… The requirements didn’t seem too difficult and the gains provided are more than acceptable.” She sa...

The whole scene made for an odd standoff, with the leaders of the Alliance on one side and this new Lady on the other. Yet despite the numbers imbalance, the sides seemed somewhat equal.
“Are you from one of our new nearby nations!” Pupienus shouted from behind Linus and Hiro, who both wore guarded expressions as they considered the new variable to enter into the already tumultuous situation.
“No, you sniveling idiot, my people live nowhere near here!” Sh...

Hiro’s questions lingered in the air, but Tilly didn't answer right away. He took another minute to process the implications of the advancement tab on the screen in front of him while the rest waited on his answer or re-read their own screens.
The Three-Fold Alliance had everything they needed to advance to a ‘City-State’ which would give them the ability to field an army and strengthen the walls. Not to mention the twenty additional miles of buffer between them and...

Just as Tilly finished reading the fiery text, something snapped through his surrounding environment, and he felt the passage of time reassert itself. He took a deep breath, trying to process the feeling of shifting in and out of time.
Turns out that it's accompanied by a surprising amount of nausea. He looked up from swallowing down a wet burp when the words above the altar began to collapse in on themselves.
Their forms shivered and devolved back into a floati...

Tilly hurried to catch up with the others, moving through the front entrance of the temple carved into the side of the mountain with hardly a thought for the things he had faced here on his two previous visits…
Well, that wasn’t exactly true. Some of those grizzly memories tried to surface as they moved down the front passageway and assembled in the anti-room of the temple. But Tilly kept them tamped down, continually singing “the final countdown” under his breath in a suc...

Tilly pushed until Shuji’s labored breathing began to get out of hand. Then, as they reached the base of the mountain he slowed and turned to wait for the large lapin. At the far end of the valley, the muddy road narrowed into a small but clear path, moving straight up with the slope of the mountain.
“Sorry for using up time on those farmers Shuji, but this run should have gotten us back on track, I think,” Tilly shouted over his shoulder pointedly.
There w...

Tilly -
Level 18 Son of Flame
Present day.
Tilly followed the clearly excited lapin out into the street and found it absolutely choked with people industriously moving up and down the thoroughfare, carrying all sorts of goods. Tilly wrinkled his nose at a passing lapin coming in from the direction of the docks with a fishing pole over one shoulder and a wicker basket filled with fish hung over the other. They managed ...

Little Brook Level N/A
It had happened…
Her uncle had warned her, but Uncle Falls was always going on about things she could hardly understand. Her existence was simple. She found the most joy in singing and dancing among the rocks and shoals that had helped form her. This did not mean she was mindless, it just meant she didn't spend time dwelling on what wasn't that important.
“Careful lit...
