I watched Lei freeze under my gaze, like a deer stuck in headlights. Seeing him with his injuries and torn clothes made me feel how stark the contrast had been from the arrogant bully the boy had been during my time in the sect.
I wasn’t sure what to say. Conflicting emotions swirled with...
2023-08-01 15:00:16 +0000 UTC View PostIt had taken an entire day for Noah to walk to the nearest village before he had been able to borrow a ride the rest of the way to Heartilia. He’d had to take a couple of stops to meditate with the bunny in his inventory. Even with shackles suppressing it the creature was a noticeable drain on ...
2023-07-30 15:00:06 +0000 UTC View PostYan Lei felt lost. He stood amidst a prairie, with a dirt path tracked with lines of cart wheels leading him on his way. He no longer even knew what the point of his journey was. His brother had asked him to inform Yan Yun of the Elder’s plans. The task was foolish, what could their cousin sist...
2023-07-29 16:56:23 +0000 UTC View PostYan Yun stared at Zu Ri, unable to believe her eyes. Just what was she doing here? And… why was she crying? Through her entire childhood, she had never seen Zu Ri cry. It was the knowledge she’d grown up with. Shadows did not cry, did not laugh, did not show emotion. She had tried, over and o...
2023-07-25 15:00:08 +0000 UTC View PostFor the first time in weeks, I had nothing left to do. Not for a lack of tasks, not at all. The development of more Drugnades, the setup for the production line of Qi crystals, the creation of cement for the wall, and the new cultivators all needed my input.
But that was all they needed. An...
2023-07-25 11:09:16 +0000 UTC View PostNoah looked at his menu in anticipation raising an eyebrow when he heard the sound of drumroll.
Rolling… successful!

His eyes widened in surprise as he burst out in laughter at th...
2023-07-23 16:06:04 +0000 UTC View PostOne week ago.
Zu Ri moved rapidly through the grasslands. Qi burned through her pathways, dark shadows swiftly moving around her body as she made her way through the dark of the night. Scouting was near impossible with any form of scrying or anything else all around the area of Tai...
2023-07-22 10:01:46 +0000 UTC View PostNoah watched the creature looking at him with intent eyes, its nose sniffing the air. He felt trouble reconciling the threat he felt from his instincts with the creature he saw in front of him.
The bunny moved closer, eyes intently staring at Noah. For a moment, Noah wondered if the creatur...
2023-07-16 15:00:07 +0000 UTC View PostA poll on what happens with the bunny. You get to decide. (I make no promises that I'll follow the results, but it will influence my choice.)
2023-07-14 03:43:23 +0000 UTC View PostHey folks! So, I've got an update on the schedule. For a short while, Rise of the Devourer will be slowing down to one chapter a week. The change will last till I've completed the second book of The Laws of Cultivation, which will take a few weeks to maybe a month to do.
I'll post one...
2023-07-12 09:22:30 +0000 UTC View PostHeading down, Noah soon watched the dirt path be taken over by wild growth, as he walked through the forest, trying to steer himself. It wasn’t a particularly difficult task, given the trail of destruction left behind. Even the vegetation was thinning, being torn to shreds by whatever resided h...

2023-07-09 08:46:39 +0000 UTC View PostAfter a brief search, Noah had found his way to the adventurer’s guild in the city. The building was rather hard to miss, once he knew what he was looking for. Stepping in, Noah watched the doors open up automatically for him. The temperature inside was a pleasant cool, with a fragrant scent fi...
2023-07-08 15:00:04 +0000 UTC View PostNoah had decided to move to the training arena, for unlocking his abilities. Standing in the open grounds of the arena, Noah took out [Tome of Perception] first, using Identify on the item.

2023-07-06 15:00:07 +0000 UTC View PostNoah stared at Vix in surprise. A chime played in his mind, but he put the notification aside for later.
“Which god?” Noah asked.
“No one knows,” Vix said, leaning back. “Gods aren’t supposed to die in the first place. They’re immortal in the true sense. Kill one, and a ...
2023-07-04 15:00:07 +0000 UTC View PostNoah made his way through New Heartilia, crossing over the bridge as he walked to the other half of the city. Over the past two weeks, his visits to the Pit had become part of the routine, and he even had a nickname in the arena now.
The guard let him through the gates without question, not...
2023-07-01 15:00:19 +0000 UTC View PostNoah made his way back out of Old Heartilia. The security for crossing over in this direction was a lot harsher, but Noah was let through without much problems.
As he walked across the bridge separating the two halves of the city his mind remained on Snow, and everything he had seen in the ...
2023-07-01 14:49:41 +0000 UTC View PostWork consumed my life since I gathered the villagers. Arranging for training people, calling for those who had touched upon Chi, and sending them to Yan Yun. Working with those that I thought would be able to work with spirit herbs and sending them to Granny Lang and Yin, and then coming up with ...
2023-06-28 15:00:05 +0000 UTC View PostNoah was escorted by the guards to a chamber below the Pit. Stone walls were reinforced with thick slabs of rocks, with guards stationed at intervals. Noah saw multiple chambers, looking almost like prison cells, most were empty, but some had people or things inside of them.

2023-06-27 15:01:00 +0000 UTC View PostA surprise greeted me as I woke up the next morning. As I had been shaking off my sleep, still recovering from the injuries of the tribulation I’d felt a new presence walking around the village. Feeling curious to find a new cultivator I began to follow. The Path took me to the village head’s...
2023-06-27 15:00:06 +0000 UTC View PostYin had spent the last few days coming to terms with a brand new world. All her life, she had known the difference between mortals and cultivators.
Either you were blessed with Qi, or you weren't. Such was the nature of her world.
Yet now, that world was shattering, and Yin felt like ...

“Is this some kind of sick joke?” Noah asked, garnering laughs from the crowd. His distaste grew further at the reaction, and he turned to face the girl.<...
2023-06-26 15:00:09 +0000 UTC View PostThe Pit was both an easy and hard place to find. Hard because Noah had to walk through thin alleyways and go through shady looking places until he found a door with no symbol or signs to denote anything. Easy, because once you knew where to look, it was hard to mistake the giant structure.

2023-06-25 15:00:07 +0000 UTC View PostNoah walked out of the giant gates of the Lord’s castle, finding himself standing on a giant path paved with neatly carved stones and concrete pathways. Lamplights stood at intervals, oddly Victorian in their design, but the lamp itself shimmered with magic runes running up its length, betrayin...
2023-06-24 15:00:06 +0000 UTC View PostThe Lord had been happy enough to lend the three of them his training ground when inquired. Noah now sat on a dirt floor that was clearly created with magic given its uniformity. The walls of the chamber were covered in protective shielding, with a bunch of training equipment set around the chamb...
2023-06-23 15:00:10 +0000 UTC View PostNoah read through the quest again, wondering what it meant. He had gotten it the moment he had stepped in Heartillia, did that mean the shard was somewhere in the city? Or did it specifically mean this place? How would he even find something like that, when he had no idea what the Shard may even ...
2023-06-21 15:59:40 +0000 UTC View PostI opened my eyes, finding myself in my room. The smell of herbs was the first thing that I noticed, coming from the salves lathered upon my injuries underneath the bandages covering my right chest and arm. I tried to lift my arm, but found a sharp pain telling me not to push it. The tribulation h...
2023-06-21 15:00:08 +0000 UTC View PostNoah stepped through the portal, feeling the flickering layers of space around him. The transportation took a long moment that seemed to stretch on endlessly before abruptly ending with him standing within a giant hall of marbled stone. Myriads of magical items and auras tugged at Noah’s attent...
2023-06-20 15:00:08 +0000 UTC View PostHey folks. I'm really sorry about the delay. It turns out that I hadn't fully recovered, even though the actual being sick part went away.
