“Kaia!” shouted Maia, running forward.
She was stopped when the two of three remaining bodyguards stepped forward, weapons raised to defend the spasming vampire.
“Stand down!” said Lily
The guards hesitated.
“Do what she says,” said the third guard, who was still standing behind.
All three of the bodyguards had ??? for their level, so Elise couldn’t tell which was the strongest, but based solely on vibes, she would guess it was the one i...
2025-03-25 00:00:12 +0000 UTC View PostThe journey to the VVIP booth wasn’t long, but to Elise, it felt like it took years. She had no way to sense how much divine aether she had left, but she knew that freeing Lily had been costly, and that freeing Maia’s sister wouldn’t be any cheaper. Every second spent traveling was a second the divine aether spent dispersing.
With the help of Lily, they were able to bypass all the checkpoints and guards. Their haste drew some odd and suspicious glances, but with so much othe...
2025-03-22 00:00:12 +0000 UTC View PostAs soon as Elise and Maia left with the vampire, Hans turned his attention back to the guards. With the vampire gone, they suddenly seemed much less motivated to free the prisoners.
“Why have you slowed down?” asked Hans.
A few of the guards glanced at each other hesitatingly. They were not stupid. They must have realized that something had happened to Lily and that she was no longer loyal to the Blood Syndicate, but that still threw everything into question. Should they still...
2025-03-18 00:00:07 +0000 UTC View Post“A deal?” asked the vampire.
“A deal,” Elise confirmed. “I’ll free you, and you’ll help us.”
It was a bit of a gamble, since Elise didn’t actually know exactly how vampires worked, but she vaguely recalled something about vampiric subordination from something she had read on Earth, and the way that the vampire was acting lent credence to that assumption. If that was how it worked, the guards were ignorant though, as they all looked confused. And even if it did wo...
2025-03-15 00:00:07 +0000 UTC View PostImportant note:
TL;DR: I switched some stuff around. If you read the OG chapter 90, go back and read the new beginning of chapter 90, then jump down to the new section of this chapter.
If you read the previous chapter right when it came out, you may notice that the beginning of this chapter is duplicated from the end of that one. That is intentional, so allow me to explain. As I was writing this chapter, I real...
2025-03-11 00:00:07 +0000 UTC View PostImportant note: This chapter has been edited from its original state. I cut off the end and moved it to the next chapter, and added a new section at the beginning. The content is otherwise identical.
When Nick entered the arena, his blood was boiling. He was half-ready to just use {Berserk} right then and there to get things over with quickly. If the Lady was being truthful, as long as he was able to win, she would let both him and Bianca go free. It wouldn’t...
2025-03-08 00:00:06 +0000 UTC View Post“Are you ready?” asked Iris.
“Yes,” said Sophie, nodding seriously.
“Once it starts, it can’t be stopped.”
“I know.”
“Good. Then go. I will begin in five minutes.”
Sophie nodded, then turned around to jog out to the edge of the island. Iris was sitting in the lotus position in the center of her formation, meditating with her eyes closed. She had been lucid for a full half hour at this point, the longest Sophie had ever seen, and she was goin...
2025-03-04 00:00:10 +0000 UTC View PostI was going through the Bunny Girl stat sheet recently, and I realized that I screwed it up. It wasn't in a way that you guys would have noticed, but you would have noticed eventually as stat point distribution was explained, and realized that Elise's didn't line up. So, here is the new current stat sheet. I'm going back to update the other one I posted a few chapters back, but I figured that I should make a new post, because I doubt most of you will check

“Aether specialization comes in a few main forms,” explained Rayna. “Most of them are non-combatant. Nobility, merchants, entertainers, healers, pleasure specialists… As a monster, those are non-options for you, and it doesn’t seem like you’re interested in them either.”
“Not particularly,” Elise agreed.
“Still, while they are non-options, many of them come with useful skills for combatants,” continued Rayna. “While you will never be able to follow their pa...

Elise immediately regretted using {Inspect} on the woman. The other woman–Rayna– didn’t react in any obvious way, but any doubts Elise may have had about her noticing were removed when their eyes met.
“And who’s this?” asked Rayna.
“My name is Elise,” Elise replied, trying to sound calm. “I’m new. It’s nice to meet you.”
“It’s nice to meet you as well,” said Rayna with a smile. “You have very pretty eyes...

As it had in the first meeting, the arrival of Freddy and Walter gathered a crowd. Those who hadn’t met Walter the first time were lining up to meet him now, and all of Freddy’s friends were gathering to talk to him. Freddy said something to Walter that Elise couldn’t make out over the din, then the two started wading through the crowd. Walter moved in almost a straight line toward the food, while Freddy seemed to be h...

2025-02-21 23:59:00 +0000 UTC View PostElise recognized the style of the room they appeared in as the same as the one she had stayed in with Emilia before. It was a small, single room, rather than a suite, but the furniture and decorations were identical. She had been a bit nervous that something would go wrong, or that maybe they had gotten a faulty teleportation scroll, but evidently, Ostra sourced theirs properly.
How do they set the location though? she wondered as they exited the room and made their way to...
2025-02-18 00:00:06 +0000 UTC View PostStarting next week, chapters will come out on Fridays instead of Thursdays. I just have so many things to do on Wednesdays and Thursdays that the added stress of knocking out a chapter is rough. It will still be the same number of chapters per week, but the wider gap between them will now be in the middle of the week, rather than the weekend.
Ever since her class evolution, Sophie felt… different. And it went far beyond just the usual disorientation of increased stats....
2025-02-14 00:00:08 +0000 UTC View PostI announced this on the discord server, but I forgot to announce it here: In case you didn't hear, I signed with SoundBooth Theater to produce the audiobook for Bunny Girl Evolution, and they started on production for the book back in January! On Friday, I received an email asking about the pronunciation of the dwarves' names, so I guess that's an indication of how far the main narrator has gotten. Here's the cast as well:

“Please let me go,” said the woman in red.
“No,” said Hans. “You’re not Maia. Are you Kaia?”
“Please let me go.”
“Not until you answer some questions.”
“What questions do you need me to answer?”
“Who are you?”
“My name is Rose.”
“Why do you look like Maia?”
“I d...
2025-02-07 00:00:05 +0000 UTC View PostSorry for the late chapter. Forgot to schedule it.
Also, new formatting for a certain kind of skill: bold + italic = emotive Suggest, meaning she uses emotions, memories, and imagery rather than words. She's not thinking "fear" but rather sending the sensation of fear
It was the first time she had used the divine aether since her most recent evolution, and it seemed that her now four-digit Charisma affected even that. She felt that she had finer control than befo...
2025-02-04 00:00:00 +0000 UTC View PostElise wasted no time in opening the skill and reading the new description.
[ {Rune of Fate}: A rune granted by !@#$%^& that @#$%^&. Allows the user to channel divinely-given aether. Current charges: 2/3. Cooldown: 30 days. !@#$%^&* ]
She felt proud that she had managed to uncover that part of the mystery, but she was also annoyed that it was only part of it. The new description didn’t even cover that it passively gave her ...
2025-01-31 00:00:06 +0000 UTC View PostThe Giant Fanged Macaque Screecher opened with an attack that Elise really should have seen coming. It screeched, and the sound it produced carried mana that burst her eardrums and nearly knocked her out of the air. When she reoriented herself, it was already flying through the air toward her.
She used {Dart} 8 times, the maximum before incurring the cooldown, to get away from the attacking monkeys, and then re-evaluated the fight slightly. The Screecher was stronger and faster th...
2025-01-28 00:00:05 +0000 UTC View PostNot sure about the title of this chapter. I may change it in the future. Thanks for reading.
The frog’s side was a bit bloody, but she didn’t have time to take a closer look at its injuries before she had to use a panicked {Dart} to avoid its tongue. Its tongue struck the tree behind where she had just been with enough force to crack the bark and send a few splinters flying out. Meanwhile, Elise used another two charges of {Dart} to get to safety behind another tree....

Elise looked at the quest window as she took a break from her circulation practice. Five days after Hans arrived, she had finally managed to circulate through her lower core well enough to bump the progress bar up one further. Now, two days later, she was realizing that she had...
2025-01-21 00:00:12 +0000 UTC View PostSorry for the slight delay. I'm super sick right now, and forgot to schedule the chapter until I got the notification that the RR chapter had gone live. Enjoy!
“Elise?” called Jag. “I didn’t realize you were on this mission as well.”
“I didn’t either,” Elise replied.
The other monster still looked exactly like she remembered him, though he looked much less out of place here in the greenery than he had at the Ostra meeting. His black fur ...
2025-01-17 00:00:00 +0000 UTC View PostThankfully, Elise was already sitting still meditating when he arrived, so he didn’t seem to notice how she froze when she read his species. He also didn’t seem to notice that she had used {Inspect}, which was good. Thus far, only Freddy had been able to do that, but as she got stronger, anyone with ??? in their tag, especially a non-human, was risky.
While he explained pleasantries with Maia and introduced himself to Penelope, Elise’s mind raced. Sidhe was the same species ...

At first, when the teleportation circle didn’t activate on time, Robert tried to say that it was probably just a complication on the other end, and that they would arrive shortly. After half an hour passed, he summoned a servant to fetch him a piece of paper. He scribbled a few things on it, and when he was finished, the paper burnt to...

“Focus, focus, focus, focus, focus, focus, fo-cus!” sang Iris.
Strangely enough, her constant reminders to focus were not actually helping Sophie focus much. Sophie had gotten somewhat used to it over the past three months, but even so, she preferred the times when Iris wasn’t “helping” her practice.
At the moment, she was practicing her {Mana Circulation...
2025-01-07 00:00:06 +0000 UTC View PostUsually when Nick used {Berserk}, he slept for a full eight hours or so afterwards. This time he only lasted an hour before the pain woke him up. It felt like his mana was eating him alive from within, leaving him writhing and groaning on the ground.
It took him a few minutes to remember through the pain, but as he recalled what had just happened, when the Lady’s blood had seeped into his arm, and he sensed what was happening inside him, he got an idea of what was happening. Alo...
2025-01-03 00:00:03 +0000 UTC View PostElise was starting to think that they might have gotten in a little over their heads. She had actually been thinking that from the very start, but seeing Robert’s reaction brought it back to the forefront of her mind. The Blood Syndicate was apparently terrifying enough that even an internationally renowned merchant organization was scared to go against them. And they were trying to break in with a group of four, three of whom Elise was certain were underleveled for the task.

2024-12-31 00:00:07 +0000 UTC View PostWhen Elise woke up, Penelope did as well, rolling out of bed, and grabbing her sword from the ground in one smooth motion. For a second, they were both tense, waiting for something to happen, and then a moment later, Maia stumbled out from the short hallway to the door, smelling strongly of liquor.
“Maia?” whispered Penelope.
Maia giggled, then burped. “Hiiiii.”
Penelope dropped her sword and rushed over to support the drunk girl, who had been teetering dangerously.&...

Yes.

2024-12-24 00:00:04 +0000 UTC View PostIn case you guys end up confused later, "mana meditation" was something I added back when I did the dev edits, so if you didn't read the dev edits, I encourage you to go back and read chapter 18 really quick to get an idea of the base concept. Then in chapter 21, the cores are first mentioned, and meditation and cores are mentioned a few times after that throughout the story. As you'll probably see by the end of this chapter, mana meditation is going to take on a bit of a more important r...
