Multi-split suggestions.

Okay, so multi-split allows Calvin to isolate and split multiple different objects, when before they had to all be included in the same area to be recreated, meaning they couldn't be rearranged or worked with individually.

This basically means that Calvin can take multiple separate objects and create another object that is composed of their basic materials.

i've already given an example with the thermite, magnesium and god's fire to self-light.

Other examples include a tor...

Plans: outer Sphere hiatus.

Outer Sphere has gone a long time, and I'm starting to lose enthusiasm. I could probably continue tossing one out every other day, but lack of engagement on my part makes it difficult to keep the speed and quality high enough.

I gotta tell ya, it's also been rough doing two series at once, and I'm simply having more fun writing WotR for now.

For the sake of keeping my sanity, I'm putting Outer sphere on hiatus and pushing forward with a full schedule of WotR.

Fifteen cubed is… one fifty plus seventy five, two twenty five times fifteen.. add a zero, then half again… two thousand two fifty plus one one twenty-five….three thousand three hundred and seventy-five.

Calvin’s leg muscles screamed in protest as he pulled the wagon while he figured out Nadia’s summon duration. He could be riding it, but he needed to raise his physical abilities to match his Body.

Moneymaking schemes.

Calvin has access to a shit-ton of man-hours per day, and he is aware of it. So what would be a space efficient luxury good that he could have his Knick-knacks make for the trip to the Uleisian desert?

either a gadveran export or a new creation.

I've only come up with pearl diving and scrimshaw for some reason. It can't require too much infrastructure, but other than that, go nuts.

Chapter 229: Saved by the Gavel

Nabeya was running a fever, feeling a little woozy, and her neck was hurting.

I haven’t gotten sick in living memory. Not since the Poison Lakes, She thought with a slight smile.

The smile went away.

Was the purple man right? Is there something eating away my insides?

No, that isn’t it. I’m sure I’ll feel better after a nap.

Nabeya was halfway to a simple cot in the corner of her office, when she froze.

That thought was...

WotR Chapter 66: History Lesson


Perfection does not exist in a vacuum. There is no growth without pain, no victory without struggle. Always seek the ideal. Complacency leads to Stagnation, Stagnation leads to destruction. The Obstructor scours away weakness. Such is their purpose since the System was first Designed.

Chapter 228: Some Young Girl

***Dr. Daniels***

The subtropical forest gave way to a massive golden wall that looked perfectly flat at first glance, but take a few hundred steps back, and he could make out the curvature, sloping into the massive dome that surrounded them. He needed to find a way into the guts of the ship itself, not the habitation area.

There was a rather large golden door inset into the wall, and Garth tried to inject mana into it to open the damn thing, to no avail.

Pause for plotting

I’ve been outpacing my ability to construct a plot for a long while now. I’m going to spend the next week basically just sitting down and hashing out what exactly I want to happen, how and when. it will eventually go right off the rails, but the tighter I can keep the plot, the better, usually. We should see a benefit in both quantity and quality of chapters if I take some time to consult a map.

I apologize for leaving you high and dry for a while, but it’ll be better in the long run...

It’s that time of year again

If you’re one of the handful of people that’s been around since the beginning, you may have heard i’d be gone to the hospital for a thing around this time.

that was barely noticed because I was able to bring a laptop in and do my chapters abroad.

starting next Monday I’ll be in the hospital, for a week, hopefully with a new laptop.

Hopefully I can get a nice one and it doesn’t shit the bed, and hopefully everything goes smoothly enough that nobody notices anything.

Chapter 227: Insurance

The monster holding them captive blinked, pulling itself out of it’s thoughts as it tried to copy her movements.

“Where’s Caitlyn?”

“She went out for groceries.” Alicia said, glancing up from her cards to inspect the doppleganger in front of her. Because the monster was bound by some verbal agreement not to cause Garth apprentices physical harm, he was instead ‘cobbling together’ his own version of Alicia and Caitlyn to use as infiltrators, using what he called ‘ch...

WotR Chapter 64: Confidence

Calvin stood in the center of the road, hands warm in the pockets of his vest. Standing with your hands in your pockets was frowned on in Gadveran military doctrine, he was told, but Calvin felt like he’d earned it. Sixteen years getting beaten by a Malkenrovian Frontliner counted as an achievement.

“You’re late. I’ve only got half an hour left.” Calvin said as Brendan and Charlotte approached at the head of a battered army of twenty-five hundred. Half their original number....

Dr. Daniels ran through the labyrinthine halls in the shape of a fox, thinking furiously.

“We bring this, the third annual meeting of the Order of Transhemispheric Doppleganger Twins, to order.” Garth said, slamming the gavel down before returning it to ash.

The four of them were sitting in a hastily constructed cabin in the middle of the swamps of Kurm, just Nabeya, Garth, Dr. D, and Veneer. Terrible name. Caitlyn and Alicia were writhing around on the ground as they made drug-induced contact with their driving epiphanies.

Calvin shivered as his shoulders compacted, bones thinning and hips widening as he went through the last of the transformation to become a carbon copy of the only humanoid within one hundred feet.

Calvin held his hand up between himself and a pale Nadia, who was looking at him like a person looks at a Widowmaker stalking the village square in the dead of night.

He inspected his hand, now thin and feminine, matching Nadia’s pe...

Not how I thought I’d be spending my time here, butt freezing off because they couldn’t be bothered to get me a pair of pants. Bastards, all of them, but especially Garth.

WotR Chapter 61: Copy Calvin’s Concerns

“Okay, here we go,” Calvin said, focusing on himself, mentally drawing a tight bubble around his entire body.

He’d tried copying bugs and small animals when he had first gotten Dupdomancy, and he knew the results were living copies, but he’d never thought he’d be using it on himself.

He’d never really wanted to, considering that the copy would only last an hour, along with a total lack of ability to cast spells. That and the question of whether or not Calvin ...

Damn, this could have been over already if I’d gotten rid of their commander.
