Chapter 1351
ToC: https://www.patreon.com/posts/23899958Early posting because I won't have wifi tonight or most of the day tomorrow. Hopefully it won't affect tomorrow's post.For about fifteen minutes, Randidly sat in one place and rubbed his forehead to try and alleviate the slowly growing headache. Every Level in his Fatepiece made the process a little easier, but the truth was he upped his activity much faster than he was gathered Levels. He ha...
Chapter 1350
ToC: https://www.patreon.com/posts/23899958For a split second as Kaan had been speaking, Randidly had realized that his attempts to hide his ability to use Nether were basically all for naught in front of this foe. For the wrong reasons, it seemed like Kaan had made the right sort of preparations to fight against him. He even threw that fact in his face rather than hiding his preparations.Which was annoying, but the reveal was more of a mental bl...

ToC: https://www.patreon.com/posts/23899958Lyra stood at attention behind Kaan Swacc, hiding in an amorphous bubble of noise that Kaan had created so that they could remain undetected. There was a slight opaqueness to the bubble, but it was all but invisible from the inside. Based on what Lyra had gathered during its creation, Kaan’s powerful image had generated such a disturbance along the edge of the bubble that it essentially destroyed the a...

Unfortunately, I couldn't write the two chapters I promised for the weekend. Partially because of story and plot related things, but also just a little exhausted. So I hope you will forgive me for missing those two chapters.In exchange, I'm going to do my best to actually get 10 chapters for the next two weeks. It hasn't happened in a while, so this is me trying a tighter schedule on myself.

Just got weirdly out of sync with the schedule. Nothing tonight, but I'll push my chapters back an extra day. So two tomorrow, two Saturday.
Chapter 1341
ToC: https://www.patreon.com/posts/23899958The reach of Yggdrasil spread both up and down from Randidly’s meditating body. Above him, the thick brown trunk stretched upward like a solemn shrine to life. Stories and fables in looping golden script crossed the whole of the thick bark, adding rich, warm color to the central pillar of Yggdrasil. From the upper portions of the trunk, a thousand branches spread out in every direction. Each was carefu...

ToC: https://www.patreon.com/posts/23899958Only one today. Outlined the end of this Earth arc and did some quarantine errands. Not that I really leave my apartment much anyways...So basically everyone else is adopting my lifestyle... probably the last slice of life for a bit too.Dozer was deftly using a knife that was half the size of one of his fingers to slice carrots when Annie stomped aggressively up behind him and pressed her forehead agains...
Chapter 1339
ToC: https://www.patreon.com/posts/23899958After working out the details of Kharon’s path with Tatiana, Randidly returned to his island and once more began using his Control to manipulate the unruly Nether. It was literally like trying to smooth out a liquid with his bare hands. This time was marginally easier than the prior attempt, but it still took him almost a half-hour of careful exertion in order to get the Nether into the correct positio...
Chapter 1338
ToC: https://www.patreon.com/posts/23899958I guess I just write on the weekends now, but I don't like it xD. Only one tonight, but the next one will be pretty early tomorrow.Helen looked sharply up as the door to her cabin opened. Although the intruder had made himself known, Helen wasn’t in the mood to be entertaining visitors. “Oh? Naffur, you brought me some more fresh meat to cook? Not interested. After seeing Randidly… I want some ...

ToC: https://www.patreon.com/posts/23899958Warlord’s smile was wide. “Would you like to meet sometime? For dinner or drinks? Just the two of us?”Alana tilted her head to the side and tapped her finger rhythmically against the table as she sized up the man in front of her. Powerful, sure, but lacking in originality. Slightly sloppy, as well. “Are you asking me out on a date?”Chuckling, Warlord nodded. The two were sitting in a small cafe...
Chapter 1336
ToC: https://www.patreon.com/posts/23899958I'm just used to mornings this week I guess. So expect chapters out Saturday afternoon.Commissioner Arrietti woke up with a wide smile on his face after a dreamless sleep. Sunlight filtered through the window in thick, golden rays that bounced off the floor and filled his room with warmth. It was probably almost 10 A.M. at this point, but sleeping in was perfectly acceptable for Elmer today; he had e...
Chapter 1335
ToC: https://www.patreon.com/posts/23899958Patreon down again last night, but that should be the last time. But also only one chapter (yesterday). I think my all weekend writing caught up with me.Randidly felt a flash of worry for a few scattered seconds after he had almost completely blasted away Aegiant’s image with his concentrated Nether. The ease at which he had displaced the other’s strength made him wonder whether the subsequent confro...
Chapter 1334
ToC: https://www.patreon.com/posts/23899958If Randidly possessed a glaring weakness, it was social interaction with others. He had definitely developed some coping mechanisms that let him talk relatively normally with other people, but that didn’t remove this glaring weakness from his personality. It simply covered it up.Most of Randidly’s strategy for developing relationships with people was to be near enough to them for long enough due to i...
Chapter 1333
ToC: https://www.patreon.com/posts/23899958Didn't realize that Patreon would be down for maintenance last night, so posting the morning after~Nether energies generally constituted three portions that made a whole: the core, the bubble, and the ambient energy field that lay between the former two portions. What Randidly did to explode in a tide of Nether was essentially flood the energy field with his raw Nether and then forcefully condensing ...
Chapter 1332
ToC: https://www.patreon.com/posts/23899958When the call of Eidolon Crucible came in the middle of the night, Tatiana resisted its pull. For several seconds the Skill persisted stubbornly, but Tatiana’s Willpower was enough to endure. Although most of the guests of Randidly’s birthday party likely wouldn’t notice that most everyone had fallen into a deep sleep, this was also a time where Randidly was out of commission; someone needed to rem...
Chapter 1331
ToC: https://www.patreon.com/posts/23899958Over the next hour, Randidly grew much more accustomed to the usage and costs of the Dreamcatcher of the Long Night through repeated exposure. Perhaps more importantly for his present purposes, he discovered that no matter what combination of knowledge that he attempted to reveal to the version of Illym from within the Dreamcatcher, no matter what Randidly said, she would attack him and kill him within t...
Chapter 1330
ToC: https://www.patreon.com/posts/23899958 As I thought, feeling much better about this sort of stuff ^_^. I love it.For almost fifteen minutes, Randidly lingered around in that ornate room after Theodora left, idly spinning the large golden globe as he waited for any indication there would be more meetings for him. After all, Tatiana had mentioned that there would be other meetings in the next few days. Randidly just didn’t know if there woul...
Chapter 1329
ToC: https://www.patreon.com/posts/23899958Or maybe I'll just do one a day through SUNDAYYYYYYY. But at least now the party is over. Back to Rand.For a second, he froze. Then Randidly twisted around with a wry smile on his face and looked over at Tatiana, who was leaning against the wall of the ballroom in deep shadow. Really a testament to my current mental state that I didn’t notice her immediately… These social events really dull my ed...
Chapter 1328
ToC: https://www.patreon.com/posts/23899958One chapter again. I'm just a tease I guess. There really will be two to finish everything off tomorrow >.<During the rest of the ‘party’, Randidly had to do very little talking or interacting with the surrounding people. Which was exactly how he liked it. And precisely what he needed at the moment.Yet even if that should be true… why is this so hard…?Although he kept some part of himself obs...
