Vulturnus kills shit coming through for the clutch

And then my miracle came through.

Your level has increased by one!

Vulturnus, lingering at the edge of town, had been crushing every machine that that managed to get near the town—all the surviving AK’s. I figured that there had probably been something on the order of a hundred remaining, if the ship I’d seen was anything to go by and I’d known I’d been close to leveling up. Really, really close. I’d fought Grimm back in Vale, gotten experience from quests, encountered a few more Grimm to and from Atlas, and had shot down a bunch of robot filled ships. I’d been pissed off that I still hadn’t gotten that one last level I needed.

Hoping Vulturnus would be able to get me that last little bit I needed wasn’t the greatest plan I’d ever had— though I preferred to think of it as having faith, it had been nothing but a desperate hope, really. In fact, it still was, because all that one level gave me were the points I needed to place my hopes on something else. But I figured and hoped and prayed that Luck would finally come through for me, given all the shit it put me through.
