B2 | Chapter 38 - New Projects
< Previous| ToC|Next >Patch Notes:Chapter 37 - [Meditation] level increased to 24 instead of 25. Only 1 level increase instead of 2.B2 | Chapter 38 - New ProjectsTheodore had always believed that the most beautiful thing in the world was watching steam rise from a cauldron full of your own liquefied body parts.This was probably not a normal thought.Actually, Theodore was reasonably certain this was not a normal thought. Most people didn't hav...
B2 | Chapter 37 - Future Plans
< Previous| ToC|Next >B2 | Chapter 37 - Future PlansTheodore stared at the boulder with the kind of focused irritation that usually preceded him doing something he'd probably regret later. The thing just sat there like it knew exactly how much trouble it was going to cause him. Which, knowing his luck and the fact that Varyndros had apparently decided to take a personal interest in his life, it probably did.Well, if Varyndros wanted him to se...
B2 | Chapter 36 - Mysterious Object
< Previous| ToC|Next >B2 | Chapter 36 - Mysterious ObjectIt was a dome. Just sitting there like it had always been there, waiting for them to stumble across it like idiots.It was pitch black and nothing reflected off it. It had smooth walls, curved like an egg. Like something had been born here and left its shell behind. Warm, too, which was the worst part. Everything else in this place was cold, but this thing was practically humming with heat.W...
B2 | Chapter 35 - What is that?
< Previous| ToC|Next >B2 | Chapter 35 - What is that?Theodore had expected Jack to be impressed by the rune inscription revelation, but what he witnessed wasn't just impressed—it was the complete mental breakdown of a man who'd just discovered that everything he thought he knew about magic was fundamentally wrong.Well, mental breakdown was a strong word.But Jack was definitely shook.Jack's mouth had literally fallen open, which Theo...
B2 | Chapter 34 - Back in Holden
< Previous| ToC|Next >B2 | Chapter 34 - Back in HoldenThe carriage wheels crunched over dead leaves that had probably been decomposing for months, maybe years. Theodore pressed his face closer to the window, watching the Deadwoods roll past with the kind of morbid fascination that came from knowing something was deeply wrong but not being able to put his finger on exactly what.Theodore had to admit, the Deadwoods weren't exactly inspiring con...
B2 | Chapter 33 - Lose Ends
< Previous| ToC|Next >B2 | Chapter 33 - Lose EndsTheodore POVWith his mouth agape as if he had just witnessed a divine miracle rather than what Theodore thought was rather simple runework, Baron Ashton was unable to take his eyes off the container filled with slimes.The man had been circling the damned thing for almost ten minutes, prodding it with one stubby finger as though he thought it would explode in his face or bite back.Which, considering...
B2 | Chapter 32 - Solving the Slime Solidification Problem
< Previous| ToC|Next >B2 | Chapter 32 - Solving the Slime Solidification ProblemTheodore stared at the latest batch of yellow slimes. Or more like, their dull and lifeless forms in the bottom of the containers. He'd been at this for what felt like forever now, trying to crack the code of sustainable slime cultivation. The yellow slimes were perfect for insulation, their natural secretions forming an incredibly effective barrier against both h...
B2 | Chapter 31 - Human
< Previous| ToC|Next >B2 | Chapter 31 - HumanTheodore POVTheodore hit the bed face-first like a sack of rocks, letting out a groan that came from somewhere deep in his chest.Rolling onto his back, he looked up. His body ached, but it wasn't just physical. Not the positive kind of fatigue that comes from hard effort, either.He lifted his right hand and watched it disintegrate almost without thinking. Like candle wax, the flesh melted away, exp...
B2 | Chapter 30 - Ashton’s Reaction
< Previous| ToC|Next >B2 | Chapter 30 - Ashton’s ReactionBaron Ashton POVBaron Ashton couldn't stop pacing. Back and forth across the entrance chamber of the mines, his boots clicking against the stone. The sound echoed off the cavern walls, joining the distant dripping of water and the low murmur of voices from the slime farm workers deeper in the complex. He'd worn a path in the dust by now, he was sure of it.The noises had been getti...
B2 | Chapter 29 - Gains
< Previous| ToC|Next >AN: Slighly chonkier chapter than usual. Took longer than usual to write. Enjoy.B2 | Chapter 29 - GainsRufus POVHe knew this was how it would end, didn't he? Always did, somewhere in the cracks between training sessions and sleepless nights, buried under the weight of everything. All those plans, all those hours poured into the shape of something final, something absolute, and it still wasn't enough. He had spent dec...
B2 | Chapter 28 - Theodore vs Rufus [5] White Heat
< Previous| ToC|Next >B2 | Chapter 28 - Theodore vs Rufus [5] White HeatWhen Theodore killed James, things went chaotic. Then Liam rushed at him. The poor guy most likely believed he could avenge James, that his sorrow would make him stronger or faster, or something equally foolish.Theodore killed him too.The ice struck Liam in the eye, creating a hole the size of Theodore's fist and piercing his head. Theodore let out a sigh. Although he dis...
B2 | Chapter 27 - Theodore vs Rufus [4] The Wall
< Previous| ToC|Next >B2 | Chapter 27 - The WallLiam POVFrom the first moment James threw those first plasma spheres at Theodore, everything went wrong.His gut told him to stop, that this was a storm in a bottle, and that he was the bug under the jar, but his heart, pride, and foolish optimism continued to whisper that James had never missed. And that was true. James was power; he was really golden. If there was a face to power, it was James'...
B2 | Chapter 26 - Theodore vs Rufus [3]
< Previous| ToC|Next >B2 | Chapter 26 - Theodore vs Rufus [3]Theodore POVHe had to admit, thermal energy absorption was turning out to be far more practical than he had first thought. Who would have thought that pulling heat from magical attacks would be so satisfying? Not only satisfying, but also helpful in a variety of ways.Even he was astonished by the snap choice he made when he saw the first plasma sphere flying at him. He'd let go of h...
B2 | Chapter 25 Theodore vs Rufus [2]
< Previous| ToC|Next >B2 | Chapter 25 Theodore vs Rufus [2]James POVHaha! Perfect. Absolutely fucking perfect.As he saw the plasma explosion make contact with Theodore's chest, James couldn't help but smile gleefully. James had always disputed his master's pyromaniacal ways, but he did feel something as the orange-white orb of superheated energy struck Theodore like a meteor.James felt chills of sheer delight as he heard the sound of ...
B2 | Chapter 24 - Theodore vs Rufus [1]
< Previous| ToC|Next >B2 | Chapter 24 - Theodore vs Rufus [1]Rufus POVMore than any battle ever had, the waiting was killing him. Only Rufus and two others had escaped—James and Liam. Rufus had no other backup, and even Velka had left on Rufus's orders. It took a lot to get her to move, and he was still unsure if she'd truly left. She may be hidden here someplace, after all, and he'd have no idea. He couldn't really sense her, c...
B2 | Chapter 23 - Getting Out
< Previous| ToC|Next >B2 | Chapter 23 - Getting Out Roland POVRoland stared at Theodore. Theodore stared at Roland. When someone you know suddenly sprouts an additional limb—or, in this instance, becomes half slime—the air between you has this strange thickness that's hard to put into words. Not that Roland had ever seen someone grow an extra limb, but it felt like the right comparison for this awkward moment."So.""So."Bot...
B2 | Chapter 22 - Class Evolution [2]
< Previous| ToC|Next >Theodore looked over the list of classes as if each would determine the course of his life. To be fair, it was precisely what he needed to think about, so he let each lesson ring against his mind, attempting to figure out how a life would revolve around a single choice that, once made, could not be undone save by the gradual eroding of years spent making up for a poor mistake, if that was even possible.[Battle Mage], [Elemen...
Announcement
I realized I never made an announcement for all members. So here it is.ANNOUNCEMENT:I have not been around for a while now. It was due to severe burnout followed by a death in the family. Now, I'm back. I decided to rewrite Book 2. Little had been written, and following the break, it seemed fitting to start anew with a blank page and a little timeskip.I have been active for the past 20 something days posting daily and now I've changed the...
B2 | Chapter 21 - Class Evolution [1]
< Previous| ToC|Next >B2 | Chapter 21 - Class Evolution [1]Grigor POVGrigor had always regarded himself as an honest man—at least in the sense that soldiers were honest—and only spoke the truth when it did not jeopardize his financial security or his pride. However, he was now compelled to confess in private that he had misjudged the boy named Theodore.Grigor had muttered that there were simpler ways to die than offering to be digested while ...

B2 | Chapter 20 - The Slime King's Chamber [9]
< Previous| ToC|Next >B2 | Chapter 20 - The Slime King's Chamber [9]Roland POVOnce again, Theodore was exceeding expectations as if the natural order had never mattered. This was not the first time Roland had witnessed it but now he had just become accustomed to the fact that doubt no longer murmured in the back of his mind.Even though what Theodore was doing was illogical, it kept happening.Before, it was fairly clear. Rank 1s fought Rank 1s...
B2 | Chapter 19- The Slime King's Chamber [8]
< Previous| ToC|Next >Knowing better than to wait for the Slime King to move, Theodore took action.He had discovered the price of uncertainty the hard way. There was no point in luck while facing a monster of Rank 3. With his Class still trapped in the tier below, he was hardly a Rank 2. He lacked the toughness and mana breadth associated with a higher advancement. So he blasted forward with air and struck first.There were going to be no testing ...
B2 | Chapter 18 - The Slime King's Chamber [7]
< Previous| ToC|Next >B2 | Chapter 18 - The Slime King's Chamber [7]Theodore began experimenting with his newly evolved skill right away. As soon as the feeling of having new runes and the skill itself settled in like a puzzle piece snapping into place where nothing should have fit, he started digging into it. Already poking and pulling and thinking and thinking and thinking too fast to stop.Thermal. Fire, but not just fire, no, not fire at a...

B2 | Chapter 16 - The Slime King's Chamber [5]
< Previous| ToC|Next >B2 | Chapter 16 - The Slime King's Chamber [5]Theodore POVIn the center of the chaos, Theodore paused. The reason for that pause was rather simple. All around him... Theodore was astonished when the other clones paused since they had been assaulting him without thinking since the Slime King supposedly changed the focus from the others to Theodore. It most likely viewed him as a greater danger than the others. But it stay...
B2 | Chapter 15 - The Slime King's Chamber [4]
< Previous| ToC|Next >B2 | Chapter 15 - The Slime King's Chamber [4]He had created a crack in the floor, and Theodore was gazing at it. It was a harsh scar that went through both slime and stone."Help us!" the man had screamed.Mana was swirling at Theodore’s fingers, coiling, twisting, and snapping into sharp lines of energy as he raised his palm. Pure mana converted into bolts. With each one he summoned, the air became heavier and ...
B2 | Chapter 14 - The Slime King's Chamber [3]
< Previous| ToC|Next >B2 | Chapter 14 - The Slime King's Chamber [3]Theodore had not expected to be in this type of battle, but now that he was, he felt ready to give it his all. Very quickly, the clone lunged at him, moving similarly to Theodore when he wanted to get past someone's defenses.Since it would be incredibly foolish to do otherwise, Theodore confronted it head on. He was aware of who he was and how he fought, so it would be de...
B2 | Chapter 13 - The Slime King’s Chamber [2]
Patch Note:Chapter 10: Added another level up because I didn't consider it before, here is the text(for context it happened right after MC created the orb of doom for the first time):[Elemental Spells] has leveled up! – Lvl 22 > Lvl 23!Even aside from the level up, the explosion had been beautiful.< Previous| ToC|Next >B2 | Chapter 13 - The Slime King’s Chamber [2]Rufus POVThis was not what he had planned.

< Previous| ToC|Next >B2 | Chapter 12 - The Slime King’s Chamber [1]"He found it." Baron Ashton didn't bother with a greeting.Theodore cocked his head."Rufus?"Ashton nodded."There was a collapsed shaft he found recently. He cleared the rubble, sent a pulse, and the detector spiked off the scale. It's down there, the Slime King, and it's blue. Mana variant."For a moment, Theodore said nothing. His thoughts shi...
