Limitless Path Chapter Forty-Four

Beth finally couldn't take it anymore and tore into her own fruit from earlier, eating around the pit until all the flesh was gone. Following that it was a free-for-all, as Beth and Blood devoured the fruits on the bush, eating their fill of both. Despite this terrifying destruction, they hadn't even eaten a quarter of what was on the plant. Bet...

Limitless Path Chapter Forty-Three

She was pleased to see their growth, despite their levels still being, overall, rather low. 

Beth had put all her free points and most of Blood's ...

Limitless Path Chapter Forty-Two

Beth stopped and waited for the creature's approach, readying her sword to strike. The spider leapt at her at the last moment, trying to land on her torso and sink its fangs into her flesh, but she countered with a textbook thrust, slamming the point of her greatsword into the joint between the head and abdomen. The spider was cut shallowly and ...

Limitless Path Chapter Forty-One

Beth was getting a much better feel for it when Blood pulled up short, nearly un-seating her, stopping at the edge of a field without any houses nearby. The two scanned the field, seeing a pack of the same kind of boars that Beth had killed several of already. Beth observed the situation for a moment and noticed one boar clearly stood out amidst...

Limitless Path Chapter Forty

Sabs moved ahead of the group and dashed into the nest-guarding ant, leaping to the right as she came face-to-face with the ant. Landing on her right foot, she pushed off and leapt over the ant, rolling across the beast right above its back. As she moved across the ant, her left hand flicked down, unsheathing her knife before sliding it through ...

Limitless Path Chapter Thirty-Nine

She eventually sat back, pressing her back against the backrest of the chair, and stretched, lifting her arms above her head and feeling her spine pop. She shook her arms loose, then glanced out the window, startled to see it had already become dark. She quickly got up and put the book away before returning to the table and waking a slumbering B...

Limitless Path Chapter Thirty-Eight

Getting off the elevator, she again proceeded to lead Blood around for another five minutes, trying to find the library. It was nice to get some idea of how the structure of the floors was laid out, but she didn't really know what rooms were what, not being able to read the plaques on the walls. After some fumbling, she came to a long hallway th...

Limitless Path Chapter Thirty-Seven

"Do you need to rest for mana?" Kim asked Soph as she wiped her sword off, eyeing the splatter zone of the second ant.  

"No, the orb and the flame together didn't quite use a quarter of what I have right now. Maybe only a sixth in total?" Soph replied.  

"Well, that's pretty good. You running out of mana would be...

"Oh, he's treating me like that because I'm a Copper? How long till I can be a Silver?" she asked eagerly.  

"Nah, he's treatin' ya like that cuz he's an asshole. As for Silver, it'll be a while. Don't get yerself all in a lather; ya need to get a lot stronger and do a lot more before yer there yet," he replied nonchalantly, wavi...

Limitless Path Chapter Thirty-Five

All-in-all, it was pretty good for what had been just over an hour's work, including the time for the ant dungeon. Beth turned to Blood and said, "Rest for a while and recover. We'll have to ask Jaq if there are healing potions or something today. I want to stop at the neighborhood and get money from the girls. We'll buy Kim a new sword today be...

Limitless Path Chapter Thirty-Four

As the group of people, all level zero, Beth noted, started to wrangle with Tazeen, Beth motioned to Blood. The two of them made their way across the lobby before one of the members of the group called out, "Hey, the kid's leavin'!"  

As the group turned towards her, Tazeen said calmly, "She is an emblem carrying member in good s...

"Alright, enough of that; let's go, girlie," Baelvyr said, standing up as his cup disappeared.  

"Oh, okay. What was that, anyway?" Beth asked a little disappointedly, getting up and following him out of the lounge room.  

"Just a lower leveled combat bout, nothin' to be antsy about," he answered calmly. &nbs...

Limitless Path Chapter Thirty-Two

Ding, ding. Ding, ding. Beth reached over to her phone with a slight groan and swiped her fingers around for a second before she managed to turn the alarm off. It only took her a handful of seconds to fully orientate herself and get up, her new sixteen Endurance showing its worth as she was able to be alert both quickly and completely i...

Limitless Path Chapter Thirty-One

Kim returned a moment later, starting in with, "I can't believe that girl. What a prissy little ass. Everyone else has showered and I doubt she's even done with her hair yet." She plunked down on the chair opposite the two and looked at them holding hands. "So, what, you two are dating or something?"  

"Not that it's any of your ...

Limitless Path Chapter Thirty

The man in front of the counter turned to her as she emerged and looked at her with slightly widened eyes, though Beth wasn't sure if that was because of the ever-faithful Blood just a step behind. She simply nodded at the man perfunctorily and made to leave, but he interrupted her with a quick "Wait!"  

"Something I can help you...

"Well, it seems that my products are again to the customer's satisfaction. If they please you, I would be happy to sell them to an aspiring young member," Jaq commented, seeing that Beth was clearly taken with the armor pieces and sword.  

"And how much does this fine service cost?" asked Beth with a raised eyebrow, easily recogn...

Limitless Path Chapter Twenty-eight

Beth finished her water and climbed onto the stage, moving to stand in the circle. What happened next was two hours of pure torture for her. When she stood in the circle, a dummy appeared across from her, but it didn't attack. Instead, the first drills consisted of her copying the dummy in its stance and movements.  

Things grew ...

Limitless Path Chapter Twenty-seven

Baelvyr picked up a tablet-looking device from a table by the TV and walked back over to the mid-point of the stage. He pressed a button on the device once he was standing beside Blood again. As soon as he did so, the dummy raised its shield and advanced on Beth, walking toward her while keeping its mostly faceless…face?….fixed on her. She r...

"Have fun," said Rissa, turning and walking back toward the door they had entered from.  

"Uh, right. Thanks," Beth replied before turning back to Baelvyr.  

"Phew, level nine, huh? Beggars can't be choosers, as they say, but ya could have given me a little bit more to work with, girlie," he said, gesturing her to...

"So, I can train here? What about information? And what's an Enforcer?" she asked a series of questions rapid-fire, causing the man to blink.  

"Yes, though training requires a fee. There is a library here with a standard stock of informational books and crystals, as well as limited Datanet access. You would need to improve your ...

Limitless Path Chapter Twenty-four

Ding, ding. Ding, ding. Beth's alarm woke them the next morning, Blood sitting up with a massive yawn displaying her rows of glimmering fangs while Beth fumbled with her phone for a moment. Once she had turned off her phone alarm, she rolled out of bed before taking a moment to thoroughly scratch Blood. Finally, being satisfied the wolf...

Limitless Path Chapter Twenty-three

The group of five trotted out of the backyard with the little ditch, as Beth thought of it, proving no obstacle to them. Moving out around the development, they headed first east, then south, crossing the highway. They found a lone wolf on the other side, surprising the others by leaping from behind a bush. Despite the shouted curses and shock, ...

"Now I know what you're thinking," Beth began, Blood immediately barking in response, "but I assure you it's perfectly safe."  

Blood looked over at the arch and then back up at Beth, before repeating the action another time. Beth was surprised to learn that a wolf's face was quite capable of displaying extreme doubt. With a quic...

"Okay," Beth said, clapping her hands as she moved to the center of the room. "Well done. What could we have done better?"  

The other girls thought for a few moments as Blood walked up to Beth, Beth stroking the wolf’s ears and neck while the others pondered. Finally, Kim spoke up, "I think we did pretty well. Maybe we should ...

Limitless Path Chapter Twenty

When the four girls were ready, they moved out with Blood trotting along behind. They headed through the yard and into the woods, not encountering any ants in the woodlot. They did see one in the field and Beth took over, leading the group forward before stopping them and getting into trainer mode.  

"Has everyone distributed the...

Limitless Path Chapter Nineteen

The two girls soon passed through the field and woodlot, arriving at the top of the neighborhood and Beth's backyard. As they emerged, Beth saw it was yet another gathering of people, several of the neighbors joining together to pool resources, specifically food. The group was chatting away in the fading light but quieted down as they noticed bo...

Limitless Path Chapter Eighteen

Beth rocketed towards the level sixes, ignoring all the wolves going on alert before starting to rush her. She charged Crush in both her fists and wrists as she pounded across the clearing, tearing small chunks out of the grassy ground from the force of her steps. She arrived in front of the two level sixes in just under two sec...

Before doing anything else, other than replying to her mother to get the knocking to stop, she sat up and examined the CRA emblem again. It felt heavy in her hand, solid in a way that once again helped drive home the reality of her new, well, reality. She inspected it to see if she could glean any more information about it.
