So what's it about. Are we gonna stab people for money? Explore ancient ruins? Pilot giant robots to beat the stuffing out of alien invaders? Suplex an evil undead overlord?
“Mister Conway allow me to adjust your expectations for the world. A normal first year is expected to be able to handle a pack of beowolves or a singular Ursa, and not much more than that. Just your takedown of the alpha wolves was noteworthy however still within the bounds of the ordinary.”...

GREAT DESERT
The Sun God’s Throne
The easternmost mountain of the West Rocks, it stands apart from it’s brethren, a solitary tower of stone at the very edge of the Great Vacuo Desert. A testament to how old Dust mining is in Vacuo, the peak of the mountain is completely...
The rest of the trip is once more peaceful. Drawing in close you all can begin to make out details of Shade itself. The beautiful ancient stone palace basks in the sun, with it’s CCT tower built on top of it like a gaudy, modern hat. A pair of students are visibly blasting at each other in the...
The monster plant wails keenly as it wildly thrashes about with eye firmly shut, it bursts into a final blast of oily flames. Briefly it's insides are visible, enough to tell Mare exactly what happened to the rest of the crew. The firey death in turn sparks off the scuttling charges. Rather than...
At Flavian’s @Dest challenge, the remaining students rally and charge in. There’s attempts at some sort of battlecry, but what comes out is mostly just noise, like a loud crowd at a concert. A wonderous variety of bladed weapons descend on the plant monster. From Laipei’s @Winter Witch...
I like Warhammer 40k, for all it's zany skull covered gory glory. Everyone, everywhere is at all times ready to feature on the cover of a Death Metal album and I am there for it.
My other cringe guilty pleasure is a fluffy high fantasy romance manwha called 'I accidentally became the wife of...
The crew do not need a large push to get moving, scrambling over themselves to get off the ship. The ship itself seems to groan as vines snake between the panels that form the hallway. They try to snag, snare and lash, but practically disintegrate in the presence of Mars. They don’t just look...
The fire from the gunline slowed the Alpha down, as it forced the beast to try and dance between the shots. When the horse slams into the beast, it's eyes narrow as if it realises that the end draws nigh. It staggers, blade in throat, unable to dodge the veritable deluge of gunfire, arrows, and...
The wolves know no fear. Heedless of loss after loss, they press on to their doom. The beast near Lilly tries to dodge away but with the semblance of a greyhound in it's thigh all it truly does is stumble back, in the path of an errant swing of Mare's sword.
As for Mars, where he treads the...
“They what?” Morris replies, head tilted to the side as he looks at Lilly and Mare.
“I cannea believe it. Hokay! Crew, make ready the cannons! Give them beasties a whiff o’ the old grapeshot!” he bellows.
The beowulves in line with the arrow flat out explode, as even the dark motes of dust...
The morning sun caresses the land below the ship's keel. The air is almost frigid as the captain leisurely floats the ship upward. After a weeklong journey to pick up the scattered hopeful applicants from designated sites with all smooth sailing, the mood is borderline jovial among the crew...
