“I’m sorry,” Bianca blubbered, catching Zarian off guard.
They were soaring east under the magnetic green, purple, and yellow lights. The suns hadn’t even set fully, but the majesty of Bianca’s single atmospheric slash remained a colorful mark for all to see. Zarian couldn’t see...
2025-01-11 06:47:10 +0000 UTC View PostZarian watched as Bianca whirled away from him, the light sword in her hand shining ever brighter. With one sweep, she deflected another one of Orin’s long flaming sword attacks as if it was child’s play.
Orin tried to power up his strike for a stronger attack, but he was too slow.

Of course she would get a skill like that! he thought.
It’s fabulous! Para shared.

I agree. It sounds like Bianca, Hannah, and even Gilbert have made great strides in their growt...

2025-01-09 06:00:42 +0000 UTC View PostRuven heard without hearing a terrible roar that made his green nature magic more unresponsive. His skills felt like they weren’t his to command. The barriers surrounding him and the other scouts faltered, their talismans growing hot, almost to the point of malfunctioning.
Then Ruven saw ...
2025-01-08 04:35:46 +0000 UTC View PostThe world was wrong, and Prince Ruven felt it like suffering from motion sickness. The placement of his body felt off. His sense of timing was extremely off. Everything was wrong and off, and the elf prince had no idea why or how.
The first thing he noticed outside of himself was the black ...
2025-01-08 04:33:39 +0000 UTC View PostYeah, I got some tension, Zarian thought.
I know. I’m getting hungrier, Para thought. Please fix that tension of yours while I enter my private space.
Aye, ma’am, Zarian returned.
With Justin gone, Ruvaria turned and looked at Zarian and P...

The man from an alt-world ruled by Great Britain had finally found the courage to speak with the Dark Saint because Zarian had the shape of a man, even if a half-broken and monstrous one. B...
2025-01-05 06:59:00 +0000 UTC View PostThree days later, Zarian sat on a dark red throne of leather, spikes, and snakes made from Para’s body. He was taking up a spot in the center of the city he’d fixed up with Aura Mastery.
That was one of the first things he did while Para feasted on all the people she deemed as irredeema...
2025-01-05 06:29:54 +0000 UTC View PostAs Zarian’s journey across the Stone Sea River drew closer to an end, he was forming a question he wanted to pose to his closest companion. The question came from an interesting thought experiment he had while floating in the sky on a rare blue-sky day.
It was mid morning, and the twin su...

A plasma-blue force from the skill Grand War Mage Body Furnace covered his body, increasing his St...

2025-01-03 07:03:16 +0000 UTC View PostZarian realized on the first day of his journey that he and Para had to compromise their insane training method. Journeying across the Stone Sea River demanded some measure of practicality.

The stars seemed to wane a little as Zarian rose a few hundred feet above the rugged fortress foothil...
2025-01-01 04:47:13 +0000 UTC View Post“Hm. You’ve really relaxed some,” Para said from multiple mouths. A dozen dark red and leathery serpents, some thin and some broad, slithered from the middle of his back and coiled around his neck, arms, and chest. “You are more relaxed than when we first met. Is that the power of casual ...
2025-01-01 04:43:46 +0000 UTC View Post“Oh, shit, I’ve gone down in the rankings. Or have I gone up?” Zarian had no idea.
He would have to ask Ruvaria about the rankings along with a ton of other questions. That would come later, after he and Para had something to eat. It was hard to think straight without pleasing their m...
2024-12-30 19:57:09 +0000 UTC View PostZarian took his time to relax in the high-quality bed and comforters, even though that was hard for him. His mind whirred with flashes of his dreams, some of which might not have been dreams.
He recalled his adopted daughter coming to the defense of Ride-or-Die at their hour of need. Variou...
