Chapter 1994
ToC: https://www.patreon.com/posts/23899958Okay Saturday, we will call it a draw.Only one tonight to finish the week. Doing both the book rewrites and the chapter releases is really rough. So I took today off from the last chapter to do some plotting so next week is back on track.Randidly sat and meditated in a small hut made of roots. Possibilities were small whispers that hung next to his neck, right below his ears, vying for attention. The mas...

ToC: https://www.patreon.com/posts/23899958Hah, take that Saturday! The second will be out later tonight. But I wanted to at least get through a single cliff, hahah.Congratulations! You have earned Tier III Nexus citizenship! Adjusting parameters…The dense workmanship of the Aether Engraving expanded into a three-dimensional shape around Randidly’s body. Small gears clicked against one another, shifting the shape to fit his body and the previ...

Whoops, a bad second half of the week. The two are written, just need edited. Tomorrow morning. And then finish the week off Sunday.

Well, plan went off the rails. No chapters yesterday or today, but I did finally decide how I want this notification to go and the next little chunk. Two chapters will be out tomorrow and I'll get the last out this weekend.

ToC: https://www.patreon.com/posts/23899958“I will literally kill you when I get out of here,” Charlotte Wick cursed bitterly as she reached up and rubbed the small impact spot on her temple. The antagonism of her emotions brought back a powerful lashing from the Engraving around her that shattered her budding image of bloody rivers. She teetered back and forth, trying to ride the backlash. Growling, she forced discipline back into her mind, ...

ToC: https://www.patreon.com/posts/23899958Friends visiting this weekend, so trying to get as much done early in the week as possible. Two today, one tomorrow, break Thursday.Randidly scratched his chin as he looked at the busy forces of the Vulpis Squad arming themselves and checking prepared supplies. Ballast insisted they be ready for a full campaign on an alien world and Randidly could only acquiesce. With the System, food and clothing werenâ...
Chapter 1990
ToC: https://www.patreon.com/posts/23899958Jeez really getting close to 2k nowRandidly had given himself two days to tie up all the loose ends remaining on Expira. The Patron of Feathers continued to be stable, but this situation would last for long; the other Patrons were getting decidedly ansty.Such a period of time wasn’t enough to handle his still slightly unruly emotions. It also wasn’t enough time to figure out what sort of plateau his ...

ToC: https://www.patreon.com/posts/23899958Raymund Ballast liked the sounds of the morning on the Ghosthound’s island. Like all good things, it started with silence. The perfect stillness of recuperating repose. There were a few hours when the frantic activity ceased and what replaced it was pristine.All in preparation for the eventual transition to activity.Randidly still hadn’t come back after the challenge, but the tight schedule of traini...
Chapter 1978
ToC: https://www.patreon.com/posts/23899958Just one to finish off the week. I delayed a few days to get this finale perfect and I only found how I wanted it to finish late Sunday. So last week 6 chapters, but tomorrow will start off with 2 for next week, including one extra long one to finish off this fight.Each impact shook the arena; both the fighters had almost impossibly powerful bodies, although one was based on an image and only one had bee...

ToC: https://www.patreon.com/posts/23899958Raymund Ballast moved through the stands toward his seat. Due to his large size and three fluffy tails, several children cooed in wonder at him as he made his way through the press of the crowd. Some parents made perfunctory efforts to quiet their children, but most were too caught up in the chatter around the stadium to say anything.In a very real way, the excitement of the finals was already contagious...
Chapter 1976
ToC: https://www.patreon.com/posts/23899958Should have sent out messages to everyone who ordered a book now. And still good on numbers.Randy sat in the back portion of the kitchen at B’s Crossing, looking up from an eclectic mixture of carrots and parsnips they were supposed to rid of image fragments before the dinner rush began. Nrorce leaned against the stove, humming tunelessly to himself while he pulled out the morning’s scones. From what...
Chapter 1975
ToC: https://www.patreon.com/posts/23899958Randidly folded his hands across his knees. Even if this was a projected image, the sun felt pleasantly warm on his skin. He took a deep breath and reached out through the significance of the tournament to find his targets.Four losers were a number that he could definitely handle without breaking a sweat. And he took his time with these, because they would be part of the group that would challenge him. T...

ToC: https://www.patreon.com/posts/23899958Hey, I should have sent out a bunch of messages for those who were at the book tier last month. If you were at the tier and didn't receive a message, please comment on this chapter and I'll add you to my list. Idk why the filters didn't work.Okay, let's set up a few more things.Randidly sat next to the bedridden Alana and worked on his Nether awareness. Occasionally he glanced at her, tak...
Chapter 1973
ToC: https://www.patreon.com/posts/23899958One chapter day. Did a little bit of plotting, because I really want to get to the finals by tomorrow. The Nexus calls us~As soon as Randidly called out the words, Alana’s instincts began to scream in warning. Goosebumps sprang to life up and down her arms. Although it ran counter to her entire strategy, although the burning inferno she carried within her chest demanded immediate violence, she had not ...

ToC: https://www.patreon.com/posts/23899958Mmm, let's finish the tournament this week. I don't want to dwell to much on any of the fights. Let's see how I do~Johann shifted his weight from one foot to the other as he choked on the Ghosthound’s words. Jane eyed the young man next to her with something like pity. But the initiative displayed by when he addressed the Ghosthound ran out. So the two could only stand there awkwardly while...

ToC: https://www.patreon.com/posts/23899958One chapter tonight. I'll get the next out tomorrow. Real quick interlude; sometimes I crave a bit of space between so many fightsOn the day of the quarter-finals, the mood on Tournament Island changed. Even the sky felt it, cloudless and endlessly blue.For the past several weeks, attendance to the various matches had been steadily dropping. The tournament had simply lasted too long for anyone with s...
