I had a few Essence Points to burn, and earning a little goodwill with the troops was probably a good idea, so I decided to give Hippolyta an upgrade.

First, I power-leveled her to level three, earning an Ability Point and ten more Attribute Points—which I immediately dropped into Strength. The godstone burned in my chest as a trickle of Essence flowed out of me; I watched as her muscles thickened, and she grew an inch. Awesome. Giving a character powers in a video game didn’t hold a candle to watching it happen in real time. With that done, I added the Ability Point to Rapid-Regen, instantly increasing her Health Regeneration Rate.

Hippolyta smiled and flexed an arm. “Thank you, War God. You have made me mighty, and I won’t disappoint.”

“You’re welcome, but I’m not done yet.” I focused on her stats again. This time, instead of leveling her up, I used a small amount of Essence and a sliver of Thymos Crystal to directly give her an extra Ability Point. “Now,” I said, “I’m going to increase your Durability.” I added the newly minted point, bringing her Durability up to two so she could take a licking and keep on ticking. Then—because I was on top of the world at the moment—I gave the other eight Wardens an increase in Durability as well. We needed them strong, after all.

Myrina was already at her current MAX level, but not all of her abilities were topped off, including Durability. But when I pulled up her screen, I nearly choked when I saw how much Essence it would cost to raise her Durability from level five to level six. Two hundred and fifty Essence Points, plus a solid pound of Thymos Crystals. That was enough to construct a siege tower! Hell, with my current abilities and restrictions, I literally couldn’t improve her if I wanted to. My general would just have to remain the way she was for the time being.

By the time I was done with my work, I’d burned through about half my Essence Points and was feeling it deep down. Weariness followed me like a hungry bear.

“Now, Jacob, I wish to train with you,” Myrina said as she watched me sway slightly on my feet. “Would you like to use sword or spear?” she asked.

“Let’s do sword,” I said as the wave of dizziness finally passed.

Myrina motioned, and several of the Wardens scurried to bring us wooden swords and wicker shields.

I took mine and wrapped my hand tight around the soft leather grip on the training weapon. The shield I strapped on my opposite arm.

“Are you ready, Jacob Merely?” Myrina asked.

I had a feeling this was going to suck some major ass, but I was as ready as I was ever going to be, so I nodded.

She was on me in a flash, bashing my shield with her sword, the blow lightning fast and brutally strong. And she didn’t stop with just a single swing. Nope, she pushed me back, raining down a flurry of attacks, the crack of wood on wood carrying in the air.
