have a patch of peace, and then the real storm will hit…”

“Well, we can’t do anything like this!” I retorted. “Seriously, the gnomes are useless out there, and…” I glanced to the side, spotting three pairs of boots poking out from under a desk, and crouched down to look. Four gnomes were piled into a space I’d have called restrictive for just me to sit within. I shook my head, straightening up and calling to Miren and the others. “Sorry, guys. Your break just got canceled. Get out there and round up the gnomes, or we’re all dead,” I said to the rest of the team, while gesturing at them to remove the four under the desk. “Jian, I need you to keep us free of as much of the weather as you can, and quickly.” I ordered.

“I’ll bring her about and try to ride the outer edge, but it means they’ll close on us. I can’t dodge them and the storm…” Jian warned me, and I sighed, nodding my acceptance.

“Then it’s back to a fight,” I confirmed, dumping my bag on its side. Reaching in, I eagerly began hoping that the damn helm that I’d looted from the Vault was as good as it looked.

I grinned to myself and lifted the helm up, sliding it down onto my head and shuddering involuntarily as the changes took hold.

My eyes burned, as did my ears and nose. My mouth felt like I’d rubbed freshly-cut Dorset Naga’s across my tongue, and all my skin tingled, while my brain felt like worms were crawling across it, but after a handful of seconds, it was over, and I nodded in satisfaction.

The air felt slightly different to me now, and I spotted the signs of the air pressure dropping even further, even as Jian slowly angled us outwards. I moved to Tang’s side and drew both enchanted blades from his scabbards, sliding one into a bag of holding and gripping the other. I’d decided that I would be better off with that than anything else for this fight.

I pulled up the notifications as well, dismissing them quickly as unimportant, even the skill gains from my alchemy, despite being pleased that I’d hit level fourteen. I skimmed through, quickly finding the ones I needed.

I stood there for a long moment, frozen in shock, reading and rereading the notifications. I’d forgotten all about the insane boosts you got when you reached a multiple of ten. Much like the way that some of the XP requirements varied from level to level, Xiao had explained it simply as ‘It is the Gods’ choice; ask me no more questions, foolish boy’. That made me think either she didn’t know, or the Baron hadn’t told her, as there had to be a reason, surely?

I dismissed that train of thought, simply reveling in the fact that at level twenty, I’d gained twenty points, and a further seven more for each level I’d passed. Add that to the fact that I’d been so carried away with what had been happening earlier, and I’d not assigned the seven points I’d already got, not to mention the bonus two I got to Wisdom and to Intelligence from Jenae each level, and…

“WHAT THE EVERLIVING FUCK?” I snarled, glaring at the damning details that hovered before me.

“JENAE?!” I called out, a mixture
