Chapter 220 - Hide And Seek

Jiran’s steps were heavy as he left the Cave of Merging. He trudged through the sand, aura held him atop the shifting grains while intent solidified the framework. The crunching of each footfall was a gentle scraping in his ears that did nothing to block the echo of Jedd’s dying gasps.

He swallowed hard, finding his throat parched. A touch of Mana Confluence filled his mouth with cold water that he greedily drank. All three suns were directly overhead. Now that...

Chapter 219 - Found And Lost

The Meersvant’s teeth were chattering when Jiran entered the cave. Mana Omnis scoured the man’s body and Jiran was momentarily stunned to discover the electrical currents in his brain were still practically nonexistent despite him being awake. Their gazes locked as Jiran drew closer, and when the man saw how quickly Jiran crossed the small cavern, his eyes grew wide with panic. His lips were parted, releasing rapid puffs of mist into the frigid air. 

Jiran, on ...

Book 3 is done!

What an insane week that was. There were several times I didn't think we would make it but it turns out that if you just keep working no matter how tired you get, turns out the job gets done haha.

As promised, here are a few pics that didn't make the final cut, or that we dropped halfway through development. Not sure how many of you have worked with AI art, getting it to give you what you want can take hours per picture. Still infinitely faster than doing it by hand though, and the proc...

Book 3 update

Hello everyone! Thank you so much for dropping by and giving your support to the story!

Getting right into it, we're on the final crunch phases of book 3. The primary editing pass is complete and all that's left is cutting out overused/unnecessary words and letting the editors chew threw the entire thing then accepting/rejecting their suggestions. While it might sound simple, the entire process took around a hundred hours last book and I'm expecting the same this time around. View Post

Chapter 218 - The Seeker

Rasrakin of Moordstone

The long ride rumbled to a stop, the transfer box halting its upward momentum with a lurching shudder. Rasrakin’s companion stumbled a step, then dipped his shoulders in apology. Unlike his clumsy companion, Rasrakin remained unaffected by the sudden jolt, having used his Manabody the entire trip, the contraption unable to move his considerable density. The transfer box had served its purpose well as he had no idea where they were ...

Chapter 217 - Madman

Finely attired Meersvants rushed in and out of the room on the other side of the pond’s reflection, each and every one of them controlled by a parasite. They shouted in clicks and pops, their mouths and tongues forming a wholly unique language Jiran couldn’t wait to understand. He watched the commotion through the frozen gaze of his spy, careful not to give himself away by keeping his aura and mana out of sight.

Three important-looking men with a bevy of guards in tow eventually mad...

Chapter 216 - The Gaze of Pediamus

Jiran observed the lower-tier men swim through the air in slow motion. His surprise at his increased perception only lasted a fraction of a second. His minds blazed through the options available, and the best way to respond to their aggression. Long before deciding to let one escape, he used Identify on each of them. Despite the name changing to Gaze of Pediamus, the skill activated exactly the same. Its function, however, had changed significantly.

Without needing to p...

Chapter 215 - A Moment To Breathe

This… this… is amazing! 

So I can turn my mana into venom with a multitude of effects. Injecting mana into people is something I’ve done plenty of times, but now I can do it to my enemies. Can’t wait to experiment with that, but I’ll need some beasts first because I’m definitely not trying it on myself! Learned that lesson a few too many times.

Why can’t every skill description-Oh. Because it was tailored specifically to me. Am I really the...

Chapter 214 - Gheratros The Sponsor

“So that wasn’t a dream. You’re real?” Awestruck, Jiran stared up at the gargantuan eye that blotted out his entire view.

“Ahh, you remember me. That saves some time. I declare,” her voice was a roaring surge that swept aside Jiran’s paltry mental resistances. Each syllable ignited directly within his mind, causing his eyes to water and his thoughts to struggle in their forming.

Once more, he rallied his mana, this time with a much softer touch. It flooded h...

Chapter 213 - Unworthy

How does it keep finding me so quickly? Not important! It’s coming.

Jiran bent his knees, bracing to leap in any direction but the anomaly didn't move. It simply stood at the edge of the pit, glaring up at him from several kilometers away. A revenant tried to take advantage of its torpor but a swipe with its good arm removed the threat, along with thirty meters of the framework. Perhaps more menacing than its casual deletion of space was its eyes that remained locked on Jiran...

Chapter 212 - Sometimes, Knowing Doesn’t Solve Anything

The revenants rushed them both. A dozen converged on Jiran and easily three times that many went after the downed anomaly. Jiran’s aura was well hidden and if not for his wariness, the split would undoubtedly be more even. He threw himself to the side with a blast of ignited gases, then cut off his mana so he fell haphazardly toward the ground.

The beasts gathered where his flames had been, unable to easily find him. He sent a silent prayer to the Fathers that his ploy worked. It woul...

Chapter 211 - The Anomaly

Jiran didn’t move a muscle as beams of mana leaked from the ground to drift toward the sky. He could tell how dangerous they were by the way they melted the rock and caused the air to boil. The beast grew noticeably less agitated when they appeared, seemingly content to stand and wait for whatever was about to happen; Jiran had no such desires. 

More mana appeared with each passing second and from what he had seen before entering his cave, this was still only the start. Suddenly,...

Chapter 210 - A Moth To The Flame

Jiran woke up to a system message that he ignored in favor of a languid stretch, or at least he tried to. His hands and feet met the solid walls encasing him, bringing an end to his peaceful awakening. His aura slid from his skin, sinking into the space around him without the slightest bit of chilly discomfort. A grin split his face and he hopped to his feet, feeling refreshed, invigorated, and beyond excited to test his aspect. But first, he faced the demons behind his eyelids.

Chapter 209 - A Heart of Ice

Jiran could instantly tell that something was wrong. The fog inside his soul-space was rapidly being devoured through his gate, but almost half of it was blasted away by the rapid spinning of the two massive rings. With a thought, he adjusted their rotation, and a portion of the rejected fog was visibly drawn through the first of the two rings then into his soulwall, rather than the dark hole that led to his soul. A tingling warmth so minute he could have imagined it trickled out of the tap i...

Chapter 208 - Jiran Frost

The element slithered inside him, an insidious infection that he chose to welcome with open arms. If he didn’t acquire an aspect like this arena demanded, there would be no going home, no saving the people who were relying on him, and never seeing his loved ones again. The problem was, he had no idea how to go about it. Olive’s advice to form a deeper connection was not only second-hand information, but may have been worded in a way that promoted inner growth, rather than actually being u...

Chapter 207 - Into The Storm

Jiran had two major problems to solve. First, his lack of vision in the blinding snow, which would hopefully be simple to fix. Second, how to actually hurt the revenants. Unfortunately, he didn’t have the first clue where to begin with that one so he shelved it for the time being. To remedy his first issue, he dug into his memories from Earth. They were partial at best, lacking the key emotional wisdom that added color and depth, leaving them hollow, empty, and oftentimes useless. The memor...

Chapter 206 - Outside The Box

Mayalyn Aloyhee

Mayalyn leaned back in the tub with a blissful groan. Blisteringly hot water enveloped her, easing the aches and pains from days of no sleep. Every hour had been filled with the work of hauling debris and removing corpses. The blast wave that swept down on them from the north had devastated much of their defenses, and though casualties had been light due to their entrenched positions, there were many injured and few capable of healing efficiently....

Chapter 205 - The Crucible

The doorway slid shut behind Jiran, vanishing as though it never existed. In its place was thin air filled with howling winds, snow, and bitter cold that ate at his bare skin. His feet crunched in the knee-deep snow and he shivered, the freezing air gouging deep into his body and mind. A foreboding unease crept up his spine as he focused extra mana into the protective layer on his skin and found it completely unable to ward off the chill.

He rubbed his arms while inspecting his immediat...

Chapter 204 - Choices

The more Jiran struggled, the harder the guardian squeezed. The chakram of Elemental Castigation he formed and was summarily snuffed out, the mana pulled apart and sucked into nothing. Jiran’s eyes bulged as the tingling energy he had felt around the beast now pressed on him from every direction, crushing the breath from his lungs. The challenger density crammed inside his body felt ready to ooze from his pores. In that moment of desperation, he froze stiff, unwilling ...

Chapter 203 - Bad Touch

Upon detecting that he wasn’t cheating, the trickle of energy from the screen returned to its home and a portion of the wall split apart to reveal the expected doorway. Peeking through, Jiran found a second, identical, white-paneled room.

This is new. Two preparation rooms?

His aura flooded inside, filling the space and revealing no threats. With no other options, Jiran stepped through and the door slid shut behind him with a hiss. Seeing another screen on the far wall,...

Chapter 202 - Fresh Hell

Jiran scratched the annoying itch on his arm, his gaze locked on Mayalyn and Olive who sat side-by-side at their desks in front of him. Their heads were together and they were whispering about something he couldn’t quite hear. They were in a new lecture hall that Jiran didn’t recognize, but that was fine. The most important people in his life were here and it was going to be another blissful day of delving the secrets of mana, density, and the malleable physics of Madra.

A quick update

A big hello and welcome to new and old readers. Thank you for supporting the story! We are hard at work over here, prepping book 3 for Dreamscape's audio version and writing new chapters.

Book 2 is live!

We did it! Amazon launch of book two: Rise of the Density God is complete. Whew, honestly can't believe we made the deadline (barely) What an insane non-stop rush the last few days have been.

Most of the art has been re-done or was touched up, some of which you guys got to see early but there's tons more in the book. There are over 5k edits and changes to the final version based on comments, edits, and s...

Friday at last

Whew, rocking fourteen hour days over here getting book two finalized. Its close, so close we can taste it! We learned a ton about little details that improve flow and readability this time around. The last few days have been a slog of digging through each and every paragraph for overused, repetitive words and nuking the shit out of them. I'm stoked to jump back into new content with all these new brain-wrinkles in my arsenal.

Well, enough boring stuff! Onto today's content.

Funday post

Due to great suggestions, during our downtime for the next month or so, Ami and I will be posting some art, community questions, polls, and whatever else we can think of to keep things interesting.

To kick things off, we've got some serious art we are pretty excited about, followed by several funnies.

Book 5 Delay

Hello everyone!

Thank you all so much for coming to Patreon to support the story and I hope you've enjoyed reading up to now!

TLDR: We are not done with the story by a long shot but we do need to put it on a pause until we complete other projects.

Unfortunately, I have found myself in a situation where I feel forced to place book 5 on hiatus until my work load lessens.

Currently, we are diligently assisting with Density God books 1-4 in audiobook format, ...

Chapter 201 - Book 4 Epilogue - Dim Tidings

Dagris Le’Furiette

Dagris and Dominus flew side by side toward the colossal Graymin King. Channeling poured a ludicrous quantity of mana and elemental energy through their bodies. Their attacks erupted outward simultaneously, washing across the skies and bathing the perceivable world in hues of orange and ultramarine. The Framework (or Fabric as they called it) was instantly vaporized, rupturing the threads that held together the tapestr...

Chapter 200 - A Desperate Gamble

In general, defensive formations were limited in that they had no eyes to see and no brain to make sophisticated judgments. At best, they could react to being directly damaged, or maintain an outer shell of mana and aura keyed to wait for a specific stimulus. Once triggered, formations were further limited by the capabilities of the creator. The possible amount of programmable reactions depended on how many concurrent thought streams the original intent was split into; because once intent is ...

Chapter 199 - With All Our Will

The tier seven beasts continued to close the gap toward Jiran despite him moving away at the quickest speed that wouldn’t reveal his position. He pushed his obfuscation to its limits by bringing the elemental light as close to his body as possible while amplifying its bending properties at the expense of significantly more mana. Several of the heavier and stronger enforcer variants bounded overhead as they entered the valley, coming far too close for comfort.

I can’t keep this l...

Chapter 198 - Come Tumbling Down

Enthralling Touch slithered through the sporadic lines of Graymin as they rushed toward the vulnerable remains of Morothin. Jiran didn’t kill those he drained, instead leaving them for the Forkara to boost their EXP. Without mana, the weaker beasts were slow, lacked power, and their regenerative capabilities reduced to that of a child. With empty manapools, Tier six Rooks were incapable of shaping and launching the rocks that were their deadliest weapons. Worse still, they ...
