Chapter 341: Ash and Dust

ALDIR

Ash and dust.

Everything—every tree, every beast, every lesser being—for hundreds of miles, had turned to ash and dust. This was the power of the asura. I scanned the barren landscape for anything, any sign of life or speck of mana, that might have ...

Chapter 340: Burden and Stakes

To either side of the well-dressed bearded man, the Ascenders Association guards were giving me curious stares, and the two Casters in line behind me muttered something about “the high mage.”

Amusement—and something else, something hungry—glittered in the man’s eyes as he bobbed h...

Chapter 339: The Central Dominion

ARTHUR LEYWIN

“Alright, you remember everything I told you?” Alaric asked me for the third time, despite already covering it twice that morning.

The old Alacryan was standing with his hands in the pockets of a royal purple robe—an outfit closer to the bath robes...

[COMIC SNEAK PEEK] Chapter 111 Preview

This week, get a sneak peek at the first four panels—both the storyboard and the lineart—of the next chapter! Felt bad about leaving you all on a cliffhanger last week so here you go ;)

[COMIC SNEAK PEEK] Chapter 110 Preview

Hello everyone~ The process video is coming to you right after the chapter this week haha. I wanted to share how helpful references can be for the script, for the lineart, and for the final piece!! I typically gather them from google or from my own favorite shows and comics. ^^

Chapter 338: A Weapon Against Him

CAERA DENOIR

Night birds twittered softly from the treetops as I wandered through the orchard outside Corbett and Lenora’s Central Dominion estate, having been released for a brief moment of leisure time after dinner—an awkward, tense affair due to Grey’s failure to s...

Chapter 337: Layers

I just stared at the old Alacryan, not entirely sure I’d heard him correctly.

“Academy faculty are outside the normal societal ranks,” Darrin said, following quickly on the heels of Alaric’s statement. “At least at the prestigious academies. Even a powerful highblood couldn’t pu...

[COMIC SNEAK PEEK] Chapter 109 Preview

Welcome new Comic tier patrons~ 

Have another look into the comic process!!

The Tapas team and I look out for things that may need to be revised and point out things that need to be added :)

Chapter 336: Protection

Hollow footfalls echoed against the fortified walls as Darrin led Alaric and me down a long winding stair that took us deep underground.

What greeted us at the end of the short journey was a thick, rune-inscribed door that opened into a large training area. My gaze swept the wide room as me...

[COMIC SNEAK PEEK] Chapter 108 Preview

The lineart sneak peek for the week! Another exclusive scene that isn’t in the novel ft. arthur trying to be sneaky haha

Chapter 335: Haunting Peace

“Wow,” I said, genuinely surprised by the sight in front of me.

Darrin’s home in rural Sehz-Clar was twice the size of the Helsteas’ manor in Xyrus, and it was surrounded by rolling green and golden fields that stretched as far as I could see. A little town was tucked in between two...

[COMIC SNEAK PEEK] Chapter 107 Panel Process

Here’s your weekly look into the comic and something new! Check out the process behind the sketch to the completed lineart ^^

I usually give notes alongside the Tapas team to Fuyuki before he begins lining and coloring!

Chapter 334: Last Mercy

My gaze shifted from the woman in the orange armor to the ring of ascenders around her closing in on us. Their hardened expressions, posture, gait—everything about them reinforced my impression that the Granbehls had made a significant investment to orchestrate this last ditch effort.

Sto...

special lineart sneak peek of tomorrow’s chapter~

Chapter 333: Attention

‘That was pretty badass,’ Regis said approvingly as we stepped outside.

Standing beneath the vibrant blue sky, I took a deep breath of fresh air, and couldn’t help but smile. The High Hall’s gargoyles and iron spikes seemed a lot less imposing now that my trial was over. 2021-05-14 16:05:57 +0000 UTC View Post

Chapter 332: Broken Chains

“Grey didn’t kill them,” Ada said, louder this time.

Titus Granbehl’s hand reached up to cover his daughter’s mouth. “Ada! What are you—”

Slipping from her parents’ grasp, she stepped toward the judges. Words began to spill from her in rush as her face grew more and ...

Chapter 331: The Trial

“This trial shall be adjudicated by High Judge Blackshorn, Judge Tenema, Judge Falhorn, Judge Harcrust, and Judge Frihl,” the central judge, apparently High Judge Blackshorn, said as the five black-robed Alacryans took their seats.

“The purpose of this trial,” he continued in his sl...

Chapter 330: The High Hall

ARTHUR LEYWIN

The three weeks until my trial passed in a blur of repetition and monotony.

When the morning came, I was spared the usual session of torture with Petras and Matheson, and even allowed a cold shower to wipe away the blood and grime of my three week stay i...

Chapter 329: A Plea for Help

CAERA DENOIR

“So, I take it that your extended stay in the Denoir’s Relictombs estate has been especially…disagreeable,” Nessa said as she gently placed my head back.

“It’s been…fine,” I said calmly, letting my eyes close.

I heard a faint giggle....

2000 Patrons Reached!!
