I haven't gotten much done this month for one reason or another, managed only 16 or 17 chapters, which is a bit less than 40k words. Thankfully, the month is not over. I outright struggled with writing a chapter for a couple of days, and there was some IRL stuff. Excuses aside, I'll deliver all t...

After wasting a couple of hours, I realised it was impractical to practise Arcane Resistance using my own essence. I'd hoped to do so in a safe environment, just what I employ for training Eran, but it turned out to be near impossible.
All my training with Kinetic ...
At once, everyone's eyes flashed upwards as more light flared, igniting the whole channel in glaring illumination. That wasn’t all. Immediately, Jinn became aware of the contrasting aura and the weight of essence permeating the stale air.
Then came the scream of a man on his left.
