The Human From a Dungeon 51
Chapter 51Nick SmithAdventurer Level: 7Human - American"That'll do," Nash nodded at my hunched over form. "Take a breather.""O-okay," I said between desperate gasps for air.Nash had once again landed one of his signature kicks directly to my diaphragm. I was beginning to suspect that he had unlocked a skill similar to my breathtaker strike. This time, though, I managed to poke my training sword into his ribs before he landed it. With a growing pride in myself I collap...

Chapter 50Master General Kirain YithAdventurer Level: N/AHalf-Breed Drow - Balushenian'You will awaken and continue traveling west,' The hoarse voice pierced my mind. 'By midday you will reach a well-traveled road. Go left and follow the road. You will meet a traveler who is not what he appears to be. Be wary of this traveler, but consume his blood. Take his clothing and dispose of his body and your armor out of view of the road. Continue on the road in the same direction until you s...

Chapter 49Master General Kirain YithAdventurer Level: N/AHalf-Breed Drow - Balushenian"The enemy has done nothing more than lob the occasional fireball at us, sir," General Smarn informed me. "They have encamped in the wooded area to the southwest, though, which hinders our visibility.""So we don't know what they're planning, or even the full disposition of their forces," I grumbled."Yes, sir. I do have some good news, though.""Out with it.""Yo...

The Human From a Dungeon 48
Chapter 48Nick SmithAdventurer Level: 7Human - AmericanI woke up feeling fully rested for the first time in quite a while. As I stretched away the remaining stiffness in my muscles, I found myself enjoying the fluffiness of the bedding against my skin. I hadn't been able to enjoy it much last night because I'd passed out right as my head hit the pillow. It had been an exhausting week of training and translating, but all that's over now. Well, the translating, at least. I'm sure N...

Then I realized that an alumari might not know that expression, so I nodded as well. It's somewhat amusing that human body language is much closer to universal than any oth...

Chapter 47Grum OrmyarAdventurer Level: N/AOrc - Blurpan"Well, can't say much for their craftsmanship," Harmi said with a grunt."It's not pretty, but it looks like it'll hold up to an extended assault," I shook my head in disgust.We finished our examination of the enemy's encampment and turned back to our own. Harmi and I had decided to personally confirm the scout's reports. The drow had erected wooden barricades around the village and were keeping them wet to...

Chapter 46Nash AltaAdventurer Level: 9Orc - Nulevan"Fuck off!" I shouted as I landed a kick into Nick's gut.Our training sessions have been getting more intense as Nick becomes more familiar with swordplay. My strength, speed, and experience are all still superior to his, but now I'm actually counting on them in our sparring matches. The little shit almost landed that last strike. Thankfully for my pride, he'd let his guard down."Let's take a break," I grumbled as...

The Human From a Dungeon 45
Chapter 45Master General Kirain YithAdventurer Level: N/AHalf-Breed Drow - BalushenianI watched the orc slaves dig, doing my best not to inhale through my nose. The smell is abysmal, but that's to be expected. One can't expect a bunch of filthy creatures, who likely don't even realize how bad their stench is, trapped in confined quarters to smell like perfume. Well, perhaps a perfume for a tanner, but not one that anyone with a nose would even dream of purchasing.The male orcish vamp...

The Human From a Dungeon 44
Chapter 44Yulk AltaAdventurer Level: 7Orc - NulevanIt didn't take long for the feasting to get under way. Gnomes, dwarves, elves, and orcs brought various things out of the tree-buildings and set up stalls, which almost immediately began serving drinks and cooking food. Watching a city gather together and feast without any preparation or planning is quite the novel experience. It almost seemed practiced."Hey guys," Nick said, tearing my attention away from the various stalls popping ...

Chapter 43Grum OrmyarAdventurer Level: N/AOrc - Blurpan"How many did we lose this time?" I asked coldly."Four," Harmi answered. "Two dead, two captured."I let out a sigh as I stared out over the field that the enemy stood in. Their smug eyes peered back at me from over their shields, their spear-tips glinting in the sunlight. It was obvious that this group wasn't going to follow us, either. If we had been able to get them in the trees, we would have been able to disru...

Yssinirath hissed."Sire, we can be mindful of your dignity whilst you are ejecting the daemon," Oakmor said, unable to hide his grin. "We can set up curtains to mask what is being done.""Everyone will still know what happened!""At least it isn't out the other end, your majesty," I added, trying to be helpful.The High Dragon's furious eyes focused on me and I fe...

ItsDirector's Roadmap
March 4, 2023Hi everyone! I'm posting this to sort of force myself to do the things I want to do in the near future. I haven't done one of these before, but better late than never, right?This post will be available for all who follow me on Reddit, Patreon, Ko-Fi, and Discord. If you know anyone who follows me elsewhere and would like to know this information, feel free to let them know :)Livestreams:I want to write a somewhat contemporary novel that doesn't fit the mold of r/HFY and ...
The Human From a Dungeon 41
Chapter 41Nick SmithAdventurer Level: 7Human - AmericanMy knee throbbed in pain while Regent Oakmor spoke to the High Dragon in a language that I couldn't understand. Oddly, though, every once in a while I would hear something that I understood. It didn't take long to put two and two together.'Are they speaking High Drakon? The same language that was on the pods?' I asked Ten.'Probably. What they are speaking is fairly similar to Drakon,' Ten said. 'The translation pr...

Chapter 39Nick SmithAdventurer Level: 7Human - American"Instead of my office, let us use one of these conference rooms. They're much nicer and have more chairs," Regent Oakmor said as we walked."Sounds great, your highness," Nash replied.We walked a little further before the regent halted and gestured to a closed door. I awkwardly froze, trying to figure out what he wanted, but Yulk stepped past me and opened the door. Oakmor caught my confusion, gave me a slight smile, and n...

Chapter 38High Chief UlurmakAdventurer Level: N/AOrc - Kirkenian"They're in Blurpus?" I asked incredulously. "Not Yirna?"Great Chief Tormon nodded gravely. The graying orc in front of me had ridden night and day to bring me this news himself and beg my aid. Quite a feat for one of his advanced years, but he had done so to make certain that I would not decline his request. He had given of himself to ask me to do the same, and it would be the highest form of disrespect to ignor...

I asked."Yes," Renv said."So... what's the name of the city we're going to?"Yulk chuckled, "It doesn't work that way with the elves of this kingdom. The whole thing is Bolisir. If I remember right, it's a tradition that dates back to their founding.""That's right," Renv said. "The first High Dragon ruler of Bolisir was notably terrible at name...
