Due to issues with external spam filters, QQ is currently unable to send any mail to Microsoft E-mail addresses. This includes any account at live.com, hotmail.com or msn.com.
Signing up to the forum with one of these addresses will result in your verification E-mail never arriving. For best results, please use a different E-mail provider for your QQ address.
For prospective new members, a word of warning: don't use common names like Dennis, Simon, or Kenny if you decide to create an account. Spammers have used them all before you and gotten those names flagged in the anti-spam databases. Your account registration will be rejected because of it.
Since it has happened MULTIPLE times now, I want to be very clear about this. You do not get to abandon an account and create a new one. You do not get to pass an account to someone else and create a new one. If you do so anyway, you will be banned for creating sockpuppets.
Due to the actions of particularly persistent spammers and trolls, we will be banning disposable email addresses from today onward.
The rules regarding NSFW links have been updated. See here for details.
Derrick was the first to arrive. I’m somehow not surprised, Derrick reminds me uncomfortably of Abel, and my mentor is never late to a party unless it’s fashionable. Unlike Abel though, Derrick was also young and incredibly eager to prove himself. Choosing to become a combat focused Wishmaster...
I considered what I needed to do for a while after we arrived in Veltheim. Crell had secured us an entire boarding house…somehow. He refused to elaborate on how, and every time I tried to push he made up a different story. Based on the commonalities, I was PRETTY sure it had something to do with...
The rest of the labyrinth was as obnoxious as it was frustrating. We caught several more candidates, some we let go, some we trapped and left behind. When all was said and done, at the end of the one week it took us to reach the other side, I ended up receiving another fifty points, a full fifty...
We stopped for the night after traveling for another few hours. We didn’t run into any new candidates, thankfully, and I was able to condense the mile wide liquid rock swamp into a complete building for us to use as a base of operations. A Piece of Mind parallel to control Mumur, combined with...
We ran across another candidate not too far into the maze. Or rather, two candidates working together. Rather than be in the dark about these though, I was pleased to note that Belsara seemed to know them. I was LESS pleased that she tried exhaustively to convince me to stab them in the throat...
I had a LOT of rock in my ring, and after melting it down enough to thin and having Callie reach into the shadows…I dropped it all. There was a whump of displaced air as the light in the cave flickered wildly. Not enough to wake the bats, and not enough to be extinguished, but it was definitely...
The staircase down into the labyrinth was cramped and uncomfortable. The top steps were rough and had good traction, but they were incredibly short and small, making each step feel awkward and overly dramatic even when I was just walking normally. The stairwell was also narrow, so we had to...
Personally I'd rather see a separate subforum for snippet threads. They take up like half the front page of sort by wordcount, and tend to make it hard to find single long form stories.
Our first order of business after meeting with Tyrus was find a place to stay where we could FINALLY start working on our elixirs and reap the benefits of the frankly ludicrous things we’d been accomplishing since we got here. Aside from being watched by a bunch of S-rankers, we’d ALSO made...
Our trip to Draycia, the spoke city where Devlan’s uncle was in charge, was surprisingly mundane, if not exactly peaceful. We ran across another trial, a sort of maze that I got through with minimal effort. Sadly, this particular trial wasn’t all or nothing, so while points were awarded, I...
I stared down at the papers, having finished using my Dantalion abilities to mine information from them a while ago, and all I could think was. “There are SO many spies here,” I blinked in horror at the list. “Like, holy shit. No one should ever trust anyone ever again. They’re EVERYWHERE. And...
I “woke up” strapped to a wooden chair. Metal bands crisscrossed the device, wires sticking out of them at odd angles, all leading to a machine plugged into the wall. Atop the machine was a tub of blue liquid in which floated some sort of misshapen octopus creature, it’s single blue eye glowing...
“Hey, where do you think the brainwashing facility is?” I asked my wife sardonically as we stared up the hill at the incredibly creepy dilapidated wooden building. Above us, clouds loomed large, shadowing the whole area, and there were even sparks of lightning dancing between them.
Of course...
Trellan Saint was not an intimidating person. Not just visually (I’d long since learned not to judge books by covers), his whole demeanor was very casual and amused. Like he was in on a private joke the rest of us hadn’t caught onto yet. I didn’t like him. Like…immediate antipathy. But that...
The rest of our trip to the C-rank zone was surprisingly mellow. After we affirmed our alliance with the Murk Elves, several of them joined up with us. We also stopped at multiple villages, towns, and even a city or two along our slightly serpentine path, and now we were arriving at the first...
