The final card on Deckard’s side was revealed.
From the waters surrounding his castle, a deep ripple surged outward. A shadow stirred beneath the surface—then the [Turtle Mother] rose. Her barnacle-studded shell broke the water with a slow, deliberate roll. Water streamed down her massive form as she gave a deep, resonant grunt, then lumbered into position on Deckard’s defensive lane.
Jack quickly found a guide that explained everything Marty hadn’t. It had been put together by a generous player who’d laid out a step-by-step walkthrough for assembling the toy mouse. A series of screenshots illustrated exactly what to do.
“Thank you, InspectorGadget. You deserve a medal,” Jack muttered. “Okay, let’s see here. Step one: Secure the gearbox to the baseplate.”
The gearbox was barely larger than a die, w...

Hi friends,
Jack has given the VRX helmet back to José.
Which leaves him with two choices: return it or use it and join the gaming scene. Which would you like to see happen the most?
Best regards,
Cássio Ferreira

The two deliverymen came downstairs, dusting off their hands as they entered the kitchen.
"All done," one of them said. "Capsule's installed, power's hooked in, diagnostics are clean."
"Thanks," Jack replied. "Appreciate it."
The second man handed over a slim, laminated folder. "Just a few reminders. The capsule lets you dive longer, but Nexus Co. strongly recommends stepping out at least once every forty-eight hours and stay...

Jack had returned to his house. It still felt like an alien thought—his house.
The vases were untouched, just as he’d left them, and so was the legendary item resting near the door to the back patio.
Splitwood Rod (Legendary)
A rod fashioned from a piece of Scindere Acacia, a tree species that has gone extinct. It releases a vinegar-like scent that mysteriously influences bees.

Deckard put away the sandwich wrapper as he walked back to his house.
He usually tried to eat more healthily than this, but his conversation with Nevan had stretched well into lunchtime. Before he knew it, his stomach was growling, and he ended up getting a chicken sub.
Now, he walked the streets, stepping on dried leaves with a satisfying crunch. Something childish, he knew—but he still liked the sensation.
He’d had a go...

Jack sat cross-legged on the wide plank floor of the treehouse, scrolling through potential bushcraft upgrades.
He pulled up the details of the item they'd earned as a reward for completing a full Breach run.
Golden Village Creation Cube (Legendary)
His Majesty, the King of Eternia, no longer wishes to remain confined within the twin-walled Rings. He has declared it time to reclaim the lands beyond—...

Jack studied the girl as he approached.
What is she—fourteen? Thirteen? he wondered.
Her gear was impressive. Every piece shimmered with a thick blue aura.
She’s fully covered in mid-imbued gear! He gulped. How much did this loadout cost?
She stood still, hands folded in front of her, glossy black hair falling in a neat curtain short of her shoulders. Her skin looked pale against the...

Greetings, friends!
How are you all doing? Mondays can be tough, but hang in there!
I’ve got some exciting news: Book 4 of Hidden Class: Pacifist will be out in audiobook format next week! 🎧
Author's note:
Hello friends! I hope you had a nice weekend.
I mentioned in Book 4 that Jack used the scrimshaw technique while crafting. After some thought, I’ve decided to turn it into its own upgrade instead. This opens the door for some fun developments later on. Earlier references will be adjusted accordingly. Happy reading!

Senn hesitated one last time before taking a deep breath.
“T.H.E.I.,” he said. “It’s an acronym—Transgenic Hybridization and Exploitation Initiative.”
“W-what now?” Deckard frowned. All this time, he thought Ronan had just been being ominous—they this, they that. Turns out, he’d been saying T.H.E.I. An actual organization.
Senn let out a deep burp—Zulmerian, apparently, for either frust...

Jack barely noticed the miles slipping by. His thoughts were too loud—his father’s condition, his mother's tears, and the ticking clock pressing down on him.
Stacked on top of that were schemes for earning coin and leveling up at record speed, each idea more reckless than the last.
Part of him wanted to be outside the game, beside his parents. But what good would that do if he couldn’t fix anything? He needed results. He need...

Jack’s avatar materialized in the Vulpine Woods.
Pale moonlight filtered through the canopy, casting a mottled glow on the forest floor. Night birds called in the distance. The tall silos of the Agropastoral Institute loomed in shadow—dark silhouettes against the sky, unmoving and eternal.
Just before the Breach run, he and his team had carried that egg through here, ducking branches and dodging frenzied foxes like fools. It fe...

Jack walked down the corridor. Even after washing his face, he still felt groggy. The dive had been long, and the battles grueling. But it was all worth it. They’d beaten the Breach. Earned legendary gear. And somehow, they’d managed to take down the Slayer too.
After a night like that, everyone had agreed: today was a rest day.
He started down the stairs, wondering if his mom was making pancakes. He could already picture the d...

Deckard had subconsciously wandered back to the NPC he’d spoken to earlier—Janine.
“Hello,” he said.
“StubbornTiger!” she greeted him with a warm, genuine smile. “Glad to see you back. You’ve made quite a name for yourself—seven wins in a row? That’s impressive.”
“Thanks,” he replied, a little guarded.
“We like to keep exceptional players motivated,” she continued, reaching behind the count...

Hi everyone!
This is the second of two chapters about the Breach written from the bees' perspective.
I hope you enjoy it

The hive had known hardship, and it had known cold. But now, it knew strength.
The storehouses brimmed with honey—thick and golden—the fruits of countless flights and tireless labor. Comb after com...

Notes spilled out of Jack’s time field, rippling outward like water disturbed by a pebble. Inside the bubble, the melody sounded normal—steady and controlled. Outside, it probably came through like a lullaby on fast-forward. Or so Jack guessed.
Marie’s accelerated damage output and Jack’s incoming debuff caught the Slayer’s attention. Even while locked in a stun, his eyes flicked toward them, nostrils flaring like a bull who’...

Author’s Note: You might notice the chapter number looks a bit higher than expected. That’s because I'll squeeze two bee chapters into Book 4.
Welcome to a brand-new arc! Here’s the opening chapter of Book 5: The Tinkering Mason.

Deckard glanced at his opponent. Even though he couldn't see her play, he could still read her expression.
She was torn—caught between awe and excitement. Awe, because she was facing someone whose very first move had been to drop a Legendary. Excitement, because she had a solid board presence: two creatures down and a trap armed and ready.
Deckard, on the other hand, had only a Landmark in play.
She’s definitely going...
