Waking up in a strange place was a weird experience because I couldn’t see the sun right away, so I didn’t know exactly what time it is. Getting up was a bit awkward simply because I was still wearing my armour. There was no way in hell I was going to remove it in a place that I didn’t know. But I was quite used to sleeping in body armour, so it was not a problem.
I did some stretches to freshen up and I used my energy to clean all the sweat off me. Going outside I was greeted by ...

I had to move away from the tent as some of the people that I recognized from examining me started to rush inside looking quite worried. I was quite certain that they were not going to have a good time and whoever was ruling the higher society will have a busy time. They will probably not have any time to worry about someone like me.
I walked towards the market square. Looking at the people I decided to change my camouflage. Only a few warriors were at the silver stage, and I could see ...

I was incredibly relieved, and I have only felt relieve this strongly two times before in my life. It’s kind of amazing and sad how attached I am to my land. It seems that the shit laws might actually be decently well made-up.
I was mad when I first heard of it but in the end, it seems to have worked out. For the success, I will have to thank my decision on how to act with people that I made a long time ago. Treat people with respect even if they don't respect you but always remember ...

His armour looks quite shoddily made but still decent for a fight except it was not for his power level. There are no enchantments or upgrades and it's made out of just steel, disappointing. The chest piece is interesting probably a design from his world. I put a little more effort into seeing exactly how it's made, and I have to say I kind of like it. The chest gets good defence but it's flexible so it would be a good midway point for heavy and lighter armour.

To my complete surprise and everyone around here, the horses stopped just before it hit the man. We all watched as the noble tried to push the horse to move but it refused every attempt. I saw the man start to turn around and my mind couldn't stop thinking about all the bad situations that were about to happen. I could see the noble's face turning from anger to absolute disgust and he was about to say something, but the man beat him to it.

I looked up at the sun and wanted to sigh but I hold it in because I never know if our commanders were watching us. The guard next to me didn’t care. He was just sitting on his stool and barely paying attention, but he also wasn't a part of the adventurer guild.
He was one of the city state's guards. Every organization that was given access to the dungeon had to put up a certain number of guards to keep the peace but I wish that our guild had full aut...

I was quickly moving past the county capital. Half of it was burned down making it look like an empty husk but I think there might still be a few people living there. I kind of wanted to check it out but luckily, I was able to run fast enough that soon that idea became mute. My biggest fear about this trip was my quite evident need to check out interesting things and that might get me in a lot of trouble.
To counteract that while I was running, I decided to focus on the fact that I had ...

When I woke up, I needed to stretch like I was a cat and that was a weird feeling. I felt completely recovered but I still wanted to sleep for some reason as the sun was warming me up perfectly. It took me a few seconds to realize that something was different. Then I got the need to move so I did and got up quickly.
I started to search my body to figure out what was happening. It didn't take me long to dig through all the information that was available to me. Seems that the new trait ca...

I opened my eyes while I was still tired but that was more mental exhaustion than anything physical. The few hours of sleep I got today is already enough for my body to feel refreshed but my mind still needs proper sleep every few days.
I got up and looked out the window to see where the sun was so I could figure out what time it was. Passed midday, so about three hours of sleep. I did some slow stretches so I could get my mind into the correct space. It was time to start with the first...

It took me quite some time to calm myself down but, in the end, I figured there was nothing I could do about this package. I wish it could disappear so it can never bother me again but that is not realistic but so is not opening it, that seemed also like a bad idea. So, with quite a lot of trepidation, I opened the package. Inside was a letter, a small book and a ring.
The ring itself looked quite intricate made from some metallic wood that was inlaid with gold. It didn't have any gemst...

I took a few moments to relax and refocused on the new trait. Elemental seeds wasn't really a good descriptor and I had no idea what it could do. I kind of wanted to meditate on the trait to see what it was and move the pattern into my core, but I simply didn't have time. I also had an awful feeling at the bottom of my stomach that something else was going to happen. I guess at least I will have an interesting birthday.
One thing that was good about this new trait is that I have an easy...

The routine that I had fallen into was interrupted when one of the scouts reported something interesting. It seems that the herd of horses that I saw last year had made their way back here. This could be good news but that would depend if the horses wanted to come back.
Perhaps they have gotten used to their freedom and actually prefer that kind of lifestyle. Still, I must try as horses are simply too useful to not at least try to get them back.
I got ready quite quickly and notif...

The next morning, I was up quite early thinking about what we needed to discuss during the next meetings. I started my rounds early. I first visited all the guards that were on the night shift and listen to some of their feedback.
It seems that while we have melee weapons, we were missing ranged weapons and we didn't have anything to deal with bi...

I watched as my energy completely consumed the last of the holy power. This was not the way I want things to go but I guess it could have always been worse. I think I was fast enough to stop the ball from connecting to wherever it wanted to connect to but it was a close call. The ball was probably made so the church can portal their way here.
Why must there always be people like that who think because they have been given some power, they can abuse it? I at least know that there are som...

My time spent near Rich has really settled my nerves. It seems that I was worried for nothing, and he is not some sort of an evil mastermind. But something is still wrong. It's hard for me to understand what is wrong but I think it’s something to do with his strength as something just doesn't add up for me. Perhaps he has just found a way to use his strength better which would be quite beneficial for him in the long run, but it shouldn't affect the company badly.

Falyr’s table was empty, and he was glad that he didn’t have to do any paperwork today. Soon a knock sounded on his office door. He barely had enough time to sit down from his morning breakfast. Why would anyone need to come here so early he complained.
“Come in,” said Falyr in a cheerful mood while making himself comfortable in a chair.
A young guard hurried in and gave a quick salute. “Sir, Rich and his apprentices have entered the village.

Opening my eyes from my latest meditation session I was greeted with a sunrise over the lake. There was still snow and ice everywhere, but the signs of life were there. I can feel and see how nature is waking up. This process is slow but every day it's getting faster.
Yesterday I had to plant a few more seeds from the goblins and some that I have collected myself. The seeds that I put into the ground during fall were all doing quite well and seemed to be starting to grow.

Today was the day when officially the temperature got above freezing this year. Another thing that signifies the coming spring is the mountain of paperwork at my table. It will be the last month before everything starts moving again. I tried to rub my temples, but I can already feel the future headaches. But I didn’t think that Rich would be one of those headaches.
He is hiding something and planning something. The most worrying part is that he is not hiding it...

The days started to go by faster and faster. Getting this new tier of energy under control was harder than expected. While I could still use my abilities and they were a lot more powerful. I didn’t have the fine control or the capability to manipulate it like I used to. This was a serious setback but training it wasn't as hard as the first time as I already knew what I needed to do.
Other than that, I started to test out the new abilities that I have. Haste was one of the easier-to-te...

The newly crowned mountain king didn't waste time and started to dig around for useful rocks amongst the corpses of its kind right after our handshake. What I was surprised about was that the younger ones seemed to do the same thing, but they kept quite a large distance from the newly crowned king.
This trip however quenched my exploration itch. At least for some time. I looked around a bit but decided not to loot. Instead, I started to head back home with Goose scouting in front. We mo...

I still didn't know exactly what was going on, but I could guess, and it would somewhat explain what was happening. I’m guessing the monster I ran into was the so-called king of this mountain and when a king dies a new one must be elected. Everyone that gathered here wanted to fight for that title.
It took two more days to reach the end. The ghosts were still with me meaning that I will most likely need to fight anyone who survived. But I was confident I could beat any of them as I ha...

My eyes opened with a snap. My hand landed immediately on my assault rifle, but I didn’t hear anything. Looking at my wristwatch I seemed to have slept for only an hour. Something was wrong I shouldn’t have woken up like this. I listen to any noise that sounded familiar. That notified me of something wrong. It only took a few seconds for me to know what woke me up.
Somewhere east of the line a bombardment has begun, and it was getting closer. I could even pick up the telltale sound ...

Peeking over my shoulder I tried to see any weaknesses. But the only weakness of this monster was that some of its rocks were smaller than others. This wasn’t the most comforting observation. While I was faster than it on level ground it will be able to climb down cliffs a lot faster than I can especially now when I don’t have any rope left to quickly descend.
We were on a relatively narrow plateau, so I needed to find a place where I had some more room to manoeuvre. If I was able t...

The night didn’t go by peacefully. The sound of moving rocks woke me up. I didn’t have to rush out of my snow shelter because the sound wasn't coming next to me but more towards the hot springs.
Sneaking out to see what was happening I was quite surprised at what I saw. There was a collection of rocks moving towards the lake. There were seven big rocks that were quite round. But the creature was not taller than me Although its body volume would be about three times more than mine.

To the east over the bridge is quite a lot of forest that on my land. My land stretches to the base of the mountain whe...

Goose and I were currently having a break on top of a tree. Currently, the snow was lightly falling. We were both enjoying the daylight and took the most we could. There were only a few hours of daylight. But soon the day will start to get longer and the night shorter. Winter solstice will happen soon, and a new year will come.

The full fur of the creature was large, and I didn’t have the heart to cut it up just yet so currently we just hung it on one of the walls inside the house.
