Return of the Runebound Professor - Chapter 791

Noah wasn’t sure for exactly how long he sat before the imbued wall. He’d never been the best at keeping track of time. Having a fractured mind made that even harder. But there was one benefit to having a few different versions of himself overlaid into a single, mostly cohesive being.

He had gotten pretty good at multi-tasking.

That was a particularly useful skill when one was trying to pick apart the way their rune worked. After all, utilizing a rune was a surprisingly comple...

“Delivery?” Arwin asked. He’d never even considered the possibility of that. Lillia had been bound to her tavern for so long, the Mesh’s restraints on her making it so that people had to stay over and eat within it, that the idea of her being able to send food out of the tavern on purpose was so foreign that it took him a moment to register it. But the more he thought about it, the more it made sense.

There was only so much space within the Devil’s Den. No matter how much Lill...

Rise of the Living Forge - Chapter 492

Lillia didn’t answer any questions when she reached the top of the volcano’s mouth to rejoin Two and Arwin. She barely even gave them a second glance. Her eyes were already somewhere else, and it seemed that the only thing her body could do was follow.

“We’re leaving,” Lillia said simply.

“What about—” Two started.

“Eleven will return soon enough. Tomorrow at the earliest, if you can manage to get her to move that early,” Lillia said, cutting the man off ...

“This is as far as I take you,” the Devourer said.

It took Noah a moment to find the words for a reply. The world was still spinning slightly around him. He wasn’t sure he would ever get used to the speed that the Devourer could move at. All the improved reaction timing and reflexes he’d gotten from the Fragment of Self were nothing before it.

He was pretty sure it was a good thing that the Devourer had stopped when it had. It had only been a matter of time before he lost ...

Nightmare Realm Summoner - Chapter 266

Alex’s eyes flicked to the rest of Berith’s chains as he took a step back, preparing to draw on his magic — but the pure white metal didn’t seem to have any more cracks within it. There was only a single mar upon what had once been a flawless surface.

“Is something a matter?” Berith asked, the chains creaking taut as he leaned forward to peer at Alex. “You seem… concerned.”

“When did that happen?” Alex asked, jerking his chin toward the manacle around Berith�...

“You can’t do that,” Thane said.

Vireth stared at him.

He stared back at her.

“What?” Vireth asked, so stunned that the malice in her voice completely cracked.

“You can’t just go around claiming people,” Thane said. “That isn’t how it works.”

“Do you have the slightest idea as to what I am?” Vireth asked. “Are you dense? Esmerelda told you what I am. What we are. I know. I overheard it.”

“Well, yeah. She did.”

Nightmare Realm Summoner - Chapter 265

Alex’s Mind Palace trembled as he drank in power from the magic he’d condensed into his basin. Meiderly’s advice had yet to fail him. Nearly all of the biggest advantages he’d gotten within fights had come from having his foundations filled to the brim. There was no reason to change what worked.

Now that he was at the Adept Stage, he could finally advance the Mind Palace once more. The splash of waves against the base of his basin was broken only by the rumble of structures brea...

Return of the Runebound Professor - Chapter 789

 The Gracefall Adventurer’s Hall was awash with a buzzing murmur of excitement. Jared couldn’t remember the last time he’d had this many customers. His poor kitchen staff hadn’t been anywhere near prepared for this amount of attention.

Neither had he, for that matter. His hands ached something special from all the damned mug-polishing he’d been doing for the last few hours. At this point, the mugs didn’t even need to be polished. They were all sparkly clean. They’d be...

Rise of the Living Forge - Chapter 491

Arwin wasn’t sure how long he stood there. The passing of time seemed to turn into little more than the hiss of sand rushing past his ears. All he knew was that time had passed. Nothing else mattered.

Every part of his focus was on Lillia. If the faint twitch of her tail hadn’t been proof that she was still awake, he might have wondered if she’d fallen asleep or passed out. Standing out here and watching Lillia push through the preparations to Sunset her class was a thousand times...

Return of the Runebound Professor - Chapter 788

Noah stared at the shimmering blue construct around him, the Heart’s emotionless voice rolling over his ears like a distant thunderstorm.

There’s no way out?

That thought lasted approximately half a second.

“Well, that’s a load of bullshit.” The Heart didn’t respond to that. Maybe it was offended, but it was probably more likely that it simply hadn’t been phrased as a question. Noah crossed his arms in front of his chest and glared into the glowing dia...
