Chapter 265
Inside the Boss Room was…
“Are those Liches? The middle one looks a little different though,”
[6] The five of us were observing the Boss Room from the entrance.
There were a total of five Liches inside the room in their tattered black robes. Their bodies were thin and dried up, almost mummy-like. However, the creepiest feature had to be their eyes, which were only dents where their eyeballs should be. The middle one has long white hair and a dull gold crown on its head.
“S-surely not…? That’s- that’s a…” when Elland-san saw the Lich with the white hair and crown, his expression changed drastically.
“Hooh? Is that the Immortal Emperor Lich? My, my, there is certainly no shortage of enemies for us to fight,” said Fer with a smirk. He even licked his lips.
“N-no way, so that’s the Emperor Lich…”
[6] “E-emperor Lich?” no way! I don’t know what that is but it sounds too dangerous!
[4] “Emperor Lich has the ability to use advanced magic. It’s the highest possible form of the Lich variety,” said Elland-san stiffly.
[6] “I-is that so?” I peeked nervously into the Boss Room. The withered looking figure turned its dried-up face towards me.
Then, it smiled.
[8] “Hiiiiiii!!!!!”
My body trembled uncontrollably as I ducked away. [5]
“Oh? That thing is aware of us?” Fer leaned forward with a smirk. “Interesting.”
“I-it’s not my imagination?!” said Elland-san as he continued to stare into the room with fascination.
“No, it’s not,” said Fer. “It’s rare, normally dungeon monsters won’t notice an enemy unless we step into the rooms, but there are exceptions…”
[8] Elland-san looked appalled, “That means they would attack us as soon as we step into the room!” [5]
“It’s fine, I can cast a strong Barrier Magic on everyone. Powerful enough to withstand ten advanced magic attacks from the Emperor Lich.”
“T-ten advanced magic attacks?”
“Surely you can take down those things within that time? Or is protection against ten attacks too little?” Fer sneered.

[6] “Aaahh…” said Elland-san.
[6] “Uuuhh…” I’d like a barrier that could withstand a hundred attacks? Or better yet, just let me stay out here…
““Humph! That’s ten times too many! Those things can’t even hit me so your barrier is wasted!”” snapped Dora-chan.
““That’s right, that’s right! Sui will not lose to those things. Sui will definitely win!””
[8] Clearly, these two were more than motivated to take down the Liches.
[8] “Excellent,” Fer smiled approvingly at the zipping/bouncing little fellows. He turned to me, “Master can just stay here. You’ll just get in the way. What about you, elf?”
Hey… why are you treating me like a burden? I mean… can’t you say it a little more nicely? Huh? [5] [6] I crouched by the wall, telling myself that I don’t want to join in their dangerous game of ‘Crush the Liches’ anyway.
[8] “[5] [6] I may not look it, but my age is quite advanced. Coupled with my job as a Guild Master, I never thought I’d ever get the chance to level up anymore. However, if the opponent is an Emperor Lich, I might just gather enough experience to level up. Fer-sama, please cast the barrier spell on me as well.” [5]
“Umu, very well. Alright, I’ve put a barrier on everyone [5], let’s go!” with a shout, Fer led the charge into the Boss Room.
[6] Unable to resist the temptation, I crept over to the door and peeked in.
The Liches were all casting Fireballs. The number of Fireballs was so large that it looked like the entire room was on fire. The biggest Fireballs came from the Emperor Lich.
Naturally, Fer and the rest launched their attacks as well.
““Hah! Want to attack me with those miserable attacks? Take that!”” sharp ice pillars formed around Dora-chan and sped towards the Liches.
Stab! Stab! Stab!
“Giiiiiii——!!!”
“Giiiiiii——!!!”
Two Liches skewered by the ice pillars screamed their death knell as they collapsed miserably to the floor.
““Attacks like that can’t hurt Sui! Sui is strong!!””

Pew! Pew! Pew! Pew! Pew! Pew!
Pew! Pew! Pew! Pew! Pew! Pew!
The Acid Bullets looked more like Acid Hail in their intensity, instantly covering the Lich and melted its clothes, body and bones into a pile of goo.
“Gi-giiiiii——!!!” [5]
“It’s not over for me yet! Uwooh!”
Slash!
A Lich suddenly split into two. With its upper body going one way and lower body falling the other way. Once the two pieces collapsed to the floor, the Lich disappeared after a final-
[6] “…giiiiii….”
“So, you are my opponent, eh? Humph,”
Fer’s right paw lifted and slashed down almost lazily.
Slash…
Surprisingly, instead of falling to pieces, the attack sparked against a barrier in front of the Emperor Lich.
“Fumu, so, you can use barrier magic as well? I compliment you for blocking my Claw Slash. However, can you protect yourself against this?”
Slishy Slash! Slishy Slash! Slishy Slash!
For the first time since I met Fer, he used both forepaws and swiped rapidly against the Emperor Lich’s barrier.
[6] “Gi-gi- giiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!!!!” the Emperor Lich ended up crouching down behind his barrier, but it was no use. Fer’s attack was too powerful and too fast. Soon, the barrier shattered.
“It’s over, die,”
“Giiiiiiiiiiiii……” [5] [6] Ugh, the Emperor Lich’s death knell cry was really creepy.

I waited until all sounds disappeared before entering the Boss Room. [3] “Um, so, it’s all over?”
“Umu,”
“All that’s left are the Lich Drops,” said Elland-san as he sheathed his sword.
[8] The Lich Drops were mostly magic stones. [2] There were a few other bits and pieces, but nothing interesting. Not that I’m complaining since magic stones are valuable Drops from these A Rank monsters. So, it was not bad, overall. Just not very interesting.
“Well, as Undead things, we can’t expect organic Drops from them. [5] Oh, I think the Emperor Lich has Dropped something other than magic stones,” Elland-san hurried off to study the item.
I came up behind him and saw a dull-looking crown rolling next to a magic stone. “Hey, isn’t this the crown worn by the Emperor Lich just now?”
“I think it’s the Immortal Crown. I’ve only read about it, but apparently, it could dramatically increase the wearer’s magic power. However, if the wearer overused the crown, their soul would be consumed and eventually be Lich-tified.” [5]
“… by Lich-tified, do you mean eventually turning into a Lich?”
“Yes, but only if one overuses the crown. So I expect many people would be interested in buying this thing.”
Even with the side effects? Isn’t that too scary?
Nevertheless, I put the oversized magic stone and crown left by the Emperor Lich into the [Item Box].
Let’s not think about it for now. It’s time to challenge the final floor of this dungeon.
[Eguchi Ren-sama: We’ll escape the dungeon soon! That’s the plan at least…*sweats*]
[Gumihou: Just to illustrate why Note [5] is important. Plus a little embellishment here and there to make the sentence more natural]
That Emperor Lich, it looked at me and laughed. The monsters don’t notice us until we enter the boss room, right? It was like that until now. The enemies only tried to attack us as soon as we entered the room. This one is completely aware of our presence… [5] Gulp…. I feel like we just encountered a dangerous enemy.
““This guy is aware of us””
“Just as I thought…”
“Eh, aren’t the floor masters only aware of us when we enter the rooms?”
“That applies to these types of dungeons, but sometimes, there are a few monsters who don’t really follow that rule”
Elland-san was shocked after listening to what Fer had just said.
“So, that means we’ll be getting hit with magic as soon as we enter, right?” said Elland-san.
It’s just like how Elland-san said it, the Emperor Lich is already onto us, so it wouldn’t let such a good opportunity go by. [5]

Tur Briste
A Druid cultivation novel. Borrows concepts from Wuxia and Xianxia but using Druid myth and lore. More on this at the bottom. Crow is son of Maddox, a Druid with an ancient bloodline and a people with a story spanning toward the beginning of time. Cursed, unfated, and a heap of bad luck have brought him only pain and suffering, but nothing will stop him. Nothing can stop him. A son of Maddox doesn’t bow his head. A son of Maddox understands that only a man with roots, with something to lose, will fight until the last drop of blood leaves his body. The Draoidh were once a proud people. They were both respected and hated for their form of righteousness. Power wasn’t something they gained through the might of their arms, but through intelligence. Their fall was all the more disheartening for the weaker cultivators. The tens of thousands of years that followed… chaos reigned. They forced Draoidh until most fled to the lower realms, nearly wiped out and exhausted. They went into hiding and became known as the Druids of the Oak. The Druid Order wasn’t the powerhouse it had been, and only nine of the major clans survived the calamity. Their bloodline weakened, as well as their prestige. Even the remaining clans fought amongst each other. Already on the decline and near extinguished, the Maddox clan can only struggle for survival, but their foundation wasn’t a joke. Weakened, but not weak. The other clans will understand this difference soon enough. Tur Briste, the Shattered Tower, awaits Crow’s ascension. Reaching the upper realms is only the first step in reestablishing the Draoidh. The Druids of the Oak remembered every betrayal and grievance, and they’ll return to power and reclaim what once belonged to them. The upper realms may have forgotten, but the Druid Order has not. Please Note:1) This is harem story. There are only a few chapters with sex, and it’s not a focus of the story. I’ll only add graphic sex if I feel the story needs it, so not gratuitously. Either way, Crow has several women. This is in line with Druid/Celtic history, and harems/reverse harems were an accepted part of their culture. Further, they had open marriages, meaning the man or woman could end their marriage at any time. While it was still a patriarchy, women had almost equal power. They were a very progressive culture. 2) There is a period of a 30-50 chapters where Crow loses the ability to cultivate like a Druid so he adopts an eastern body cultivation method for a while. This is temporary, but some people feel it’s misleading, so I am pointing it out ahead of time. I promise, the Druid stuff comes back, and 90% of the lore/myths/creatures/gods are all related to Druid/Celt/Irish/Scottish history. 3) I use many original names, most of which are in Gaelic or Irish. In the story, I refer to this language as Ancient. I enjoy all kinds of folklore and myths, so I encourage you to google those original names as they arrive. I give some background on them at the end of the chapter in my author’s note. 4) I use Ogham runes a lot, these are like the Druid alphabet, and they based each rune on a sacred tree so they also have symbolism associated with them. Again, feel free to google that too. It’s pretty neat stuff. Quick Translations:Draoidh = DruidTur Briste = Shattered Tower or Broken Tower Release Schedule:As of Oct 1, 2021- 3 chapters released every Sunday (May have up to two bonus chapters)- Side character chapters… this might be bonus chapters I release through the week. So they won’t count toward the 3 chapters on Sunday.- Please understand I work full time, have two kids, and can’t spare as much time as I’d like toward my writing. Maybe in the future I can switch to doing this full time, but for now 3 chapters is a comfortable pace for me. Lastly… I very much appreciate all my readers and thank you for allowing me to entertain you!

A Fool fooling around in another world
Do you think that a story, where the MC isn't dense as lead, would be fun? Do you think that a story, where flags are intentionally set, would be interesting? Do you think that a story, where the MC isn't a wimp, would be a nice change for once? ...No? Oh... that's not the answer I expected.

Spellcraft
This is the revised and rewritten version of Spellcraft! Explore the world, meet new and interesting monsters, and kill them for their loot. It was a tale as old as gaming, and it bored Conlan to death. He always had more fun finding little chinks in a game’s systems. He loved figuring out how to exploit those systems and turn them to his advantage. And ever since the release of Lotus, revolutionary hardware that finally delivered the dream of stepping into a fully immersive VR world, he'd had more items on his game breaking agenda than ever before! Lately he’d been using those skills to mess with Horizon Online Entertainment. He figured screwing those bastards over was the least he owed the corporate pricks for killing his sister in one of their Lotus VR modules. They had too much money to face justice from the courts, but he was hellbent on destroying them in the court of public opinion! Only there’s only so much he can do to fight Horizon from inside their games, and a whole new digital battlefield is opening up: Lotus Online. The greatest and most immersive VRMMO ever created, the ultimate expression of the Lotus hardware made by the masters who created that hardware, and Horizon is trying to invade that new world and take it over the same as they’ve taken over everything else! Yeah, not if Conlan and his best gaming buddy Kris have anything to say about it. Because Conlan has a secret weapon. He’s discovered something in Lotus no one else has: Spellcrafting. The chink in Lotus’s armor. He's always loved crafting, and he's discovered a system that might just allow him to take over the game world, kick Horizon out, and hit them right in the bottom line in the real world. Assuming he can survive all the invading Horizon bootlickers trying to kill him long enough to pull off the greatest exploit of his infamous game breaking career! Spellcraft is a 225,000 word GameLit novel that is totally finished. New chapters are released every other day!

Are we the only intelligent being in this universe? Why haven't we been struct by a catastrophe??? How has the world been so peaceful for such a long time?!!! Is there a hidden force that controls our world from being destroyed?!!! How have we not noticed them!?!!! Am I just delusional??!!!! I'm definetly delusional. These are the questions that mortals often ask and frequently ignore in their life, yet answering these questions will lead a person to the Tryphant Agents. An organization who protects various civiliaztions from destruction time and time again without a single person noticing them. They are an organization that is like time, powerful yet unnoticed. This is the historical logs of the Tryphant Agents. Disclaimer: I'm writing this to fill my world with details and I'm only hoping for this to be a good story. The main core focus is to write characters with life into them, a world where it feels real, and story that is consistent.
