Apocalypse Healer - B4 Chapter 2.1

The battlefield descended into utter silence as the remains of the Rift Boss plummeted to the ground. Blood poured down from the sky, and intestines spilled everywhere. It was a disgusting sight, but something David had already gotten used to.

After fighting so many monsters, tearing through hundreds—if not thousands—of them, he had seen a lot. Sometimes more than he wanted, but it wasn’t like complaining would change anything.

The seconds of silence stretched on, and David ...

No Chapter Notice

I mistakenly released this notice yesterday already(was supposed to be released today. Sorry about that.) Anyway -->I'm sorry for the inconvenience but there won't be a chapter today. Have some things to deal with privately. If things go south, I may have to change my schedule for Beastforged World and decrease the release rate to five or six chapters a week.

Beastforged World - B1 Chapter 34

“What’s happening out there? Did I just hear—” Chloe didn’t finish as Peter let out a series of curses.

She stared at her husband, surprise etched on her face, while Peter was busy shaking Daniel. He shook him twice and slapped him awake when that didn’t work. Daniel roused with a pained groan. His hair was partially burned, and his clothes were torn—marred by cuts that seemed too clean to have been inflicted by a beast’s claws. Whatever it was that tore through his clot...

Apocalypse Healer - B4 Chapter 1.2

He didn’t detour. Once close enough, he leaped over the wall. Residents screamed and scrambled into their homes, but a few must have spotted him. Some pointed, their eyes fixed on the newcomer as he landed lightly on the concrete street. David caught the gaze of a young boy and winked before accelerating again, casting [Phantom Rush] to traverse the town in a heartbeat.

He vaulted over the far wall, tuning out the panicked shouts of those braving the ramparts.

Despite his intent...

“Your general education score is worse than last week,” Chloe noted with slight surprise. She rummaged through the reports from the last few weeks, compared the scores, and looked back at me, confusion etched on her face. “We increased the difficulty of the questions a little to prepare you for the lectures, but it’s not like this week’s increment was any worse than the others. How did your score plummet to 36 when you were closing in on an average of 50 in the last few weeks?” 2025-07-29 12:00:09 +0000 UTC View Post

Beastforged World - B1 Chapter 32

Binding the Blackbellied Gibbons was as anticlimactic as my binding of Aureus had been—well, almost.

The female grasped Mom’s fingers with its tiny hands and held onto them as my mother initiated the binding process. She was struggling—probably rusty from neglecting her World for the last few years—and it took her almost ten minutes to finish the process. Dad wasn’t much better, though he had more pressing concerns than his meager soul energy control.

The male gibbon acc...

Apocalypse Healer - B4 Chapter 1.1

A ray of light burst through the eternal darkness that had shrouded David.

It shone on his face, prompting him to open his eyes and pause his training for the time being.

How long had it been? he wondered, grimacing as he couldn’t tell whether it had been months—or even years—stuck in the eternal darkness of the Naughtrealm.

Only faint memories of what had happened after entering the pagoda resurfaced, and they felt distant. As if it had been eons since he last spoke t...

Beastforged World - B1 Chapter 31

Returning to the dome with the Blackbellied Gibbons turned out to be easier than expected. Fortune was with me, and it didn’t seem to want to part ways, which I was eternally grateful for. I knew I had made a mistake by ignoring my surroundings when I tended to the wounded beasts, but my impatience and the desire to return to my parents with suitable Soulkins had been too strong. Fortunately, I did not have to pay for my idiocy.

My appearance at the outpost adjacent to the dome did no...

Beastforged World - B1 Chapter 30

The young Prouncer’s playthings were not dead. One was unconscious, its breath labored, but it was not dead—yet. Its brethren were rolled up and tense, blood pooling around its body. I located several gashes that would have probably killed the beast if they had been a little bit deeper. Luckily, the young Prouncer had only played with them. It didn’t want to kill them, although that had nearly failed.

My hands moved as swiftly as my eyes, unpacking the healing salves and bandages ...

Apocalypse Healer - B4 Prologue

“Keros is gone. His Divinity extinguished.” A towering figure’s voice echoed through the minds of his allies.

He remained in the open space, two eyes locked onto the tear in the weave of the cosmos. His other eyes closed as he scried for more information across the void.

“What happened?” another figure asked through her spiritual communication channel, her voice calm and divinely soothing.

The towering figure grimaced. He cocked his head to the side and scried agai...

Beastforged World - B1 Chapter 29

The weeks of training produced great results. Our progress was so strong, I decided it was time to catch some beasts.

My parents had small Worlds, but they were not as malleable as mine. Their Worlds were restricted to non-attributed mammals, which was among the most common limitations.

Aureus forwarded images of my parents and their World before adding a larger World that looked just like mine.

“You think my parents’ Worlds are smaller than mine?” I asked the Soulkin,...

Beastforged World - B1 Chapter 28

Bert and his wife were nice people. They were friendly and didn’t shy away from teaching me all about Beasters. Maybe Bert and his wife appreciated how curious I was—or maybe they were just bored. It didn’t matter, as I learned a lot about the identification of beasts, the mysteries of serums, and evolutionary paths. I sincerely doubted anyone else would teach me this much about Beasters, yet Bert did—for free, no less! Then again, the Zerogs were probably paying him generously for ev...

Beastforged World - B1 Chapter 26

Chloe shared an uncertain glance with Peter, who responded with a light shrug.

“I don’t think saying we’re doing all of this for Daniel is enough for you? To ensure he is not alone in the Camp,” Chloe asked. “Or that we have been searching for unassuming youths with the potential to become strong enough to protect humanity from the threats outside the Bastions?”

She looked at me and let out an exasperated sigh. “But that is the truth. It is for Daniel—just not for ...

Apocalypse Healer - B3 Chapter 39

Everything around him lost its meaning as he looked at the woman – or was it a man? 

A being levitated in the center of the pagoda, demanding attention. It was unmoving, yet David caught his will failing at the attempt to draw his gaze away. He stared at it, and his heart skipped a beat.

The being was not levitating in the air. It was an inept description for the grotesque sight unraveling before his bare eyes. 

Instead of levitating, the being was held in the ai...

Beastforged World - B1 Chapter 25

The first rays of sunlight bathed my room in a warm light, stirring me awake.

Since I did not have to rest anymore, I pulled the blanket away and jumped out of my bed. Sleep had been bliss, but I couldn’t afford to sleep any longer. Rest was for the weak, and I was tired of being weak.

As I changed my clothes, I inspected my thigh and was satisfied with what I discovered. My thigh was still sore, and the wound was taut when I moved, but whatever Peter Zerog had used to tend to i...

Beastforged World - B1 Chapter 24

Fortunately, my parents took the news well—if you ignored their bulging eyes and dropped jaws, that is.

I was neither hit nor shouted at—not that I could remember my parents ever doing one or the other. They’d suffocate me with love before they would ever think of shouting at me.

One way or another, Mom and Dad saw the Zerogs’ cruiser and bombarded me with questions the moment I stepped out of the shower. To say my parents were shocked was an understatement. They were flab...

Apocalypse Healer - B3 Chapter 38

He was so damn tired.

Exhaustion had replaced excitement.

No matter how exhilarating fighting Voidlings was, doing it constantly was draining. The war drum that once thrashed wildly against his chest now beat with a dull rhythm. Not even the gains he’d acquired in the last few days—or had it been weeks? Months, maybe?—were worth mentioning anymore.

The constant assault of powerful Fragments by the dozen was wearing on him. It forced him to flee and hide while Vitae did...

Beastforged World - B1 Chapter 23

“W-what just happened?” I wanted to scream at them, curse the Zerog family for not helping earlier. If they had been a quarter of a second later, I would have been falcon food! Still, I was alive, and that was all that mattered. For now, depending on the answers I’d receive, I may… or may not risk losing their sponsorship for ripping them a new one.
Although I was hoping it wouldn’t come to that—after all, I wasn’t exactly confident in lecturing them.

Interestingly, it ...

Beastforged World - B1 Chapter 22

“Why are you not following the Owler?” Mrs. Zerog’s voice rang out, but I could not find her—or anyone else, for that matter.

My blade was still drenched in the blood of the three 3-Star Wilds I’d killed, yet their corpses were nowhere to be seen. All that remained was a wounded deer, mantled in a thick plumage of dirty-white feathers, fleeing from the battlefield.

Three 3-Star Wilds had attacked the beast, the Owler, and wounded it severely. It would have only been a ma...

Apocalypse Healer - B3 Chapter 37.2

It was hard to tell what he truly desired, yet he was certain it was one of the three things. At least, those were the only things that made sense.

Intelligence from several Hawk Echos reached him simultaneously, informing him that more enemies had arrived. Several Fragments were heading his way from multiple directions.

David patted his chest and smiled in the face of danger. He cast [Herald’s Blessing] and circulated both Vitae and pure Blood through his body as he rushed towa...

Beastforged World - B1 Chapter 21

To Aureus’ displeasure, I did not charge at the two monstrosities with a guttural roar. I had to approach the issue with caution and patience. Or transform into a sneaky assassin. Unfortunately, Daniel never taught me how to jump through shadows, nor was my Wild Soulkin capable of distorting space.

Rather than rushing at the mature Soilbacks, I disappeared behind the nearest tree and approached them from their dead angles until a wide-open space was all that separated us. The distance...

Apocalypse Healer - B3 Chapter 37

The Naughtrealm appeared to be a flat disk with ruined medieval towns and crumbled cities. Some spots must once have been lush forests and magnificent clearings, with beautiful waterfalls flowing into small seas, but all the Echos discovered were remnants of a once-beautiful dimension.

Most Rifts were similar to the Naughtrealm, at least on the inside. Their insides were simple structures, such as the valley within the prehistoric Rift. However, the prehistoric valley was surrounded by ...

Beastforged World - B1 Chapter 20

“This is amazing!” I exclaimed, staring out of the cruiser’s window.

My nose was glued to the multi-layered, beast-proof glass, and I couldn’t help but study the people and structures below.

The cruiser was similar to the skytrain, yet it was also entirely different. Like the skytrain, cruisers traveled through the air, carrying people. However, that was where their similarities ended. A cruiser, or at least the Zerogs’ cruiser, was a small vehicle. It was a six-seater t...

Beastforged World - B1 Chapter 19

“You think he won’t make it?” Mrs. Zerog regarded her husband inquisitively. “I was certain you… Never mind.”

Her tone didn’t change one bit, though the same couldn’t be said about Daniel. He stared at his father, fuming.

“Why are you like that, Father!?”

But as fast as his anger manifested, it was replaced just as quickly by confusion and uncertainty. He turned to his mother and added in a whisper, “But seriously, how is Adam supposed to do that?” 2025-07-15 12:00:08 +0000 UTC View Post

Apocalypse Healer - B3 Chapter 36

“Please hold still. Regrowing limbs perfectly is not an easy feat,” the Elven Priest muttered through gritted teeth, eyes furrowed. Cold sweat beaded on his brow as he let his magic work, his full attention on Zachariah’s arm. “You lost your arm not too long ago, which is good, but you shouldn’t strain it too much for a while. The Energy Pathways may itch, and your muscles might feel odd, but that is normal.”

“Stop spouting nonsense and heal me,” Zachariah snapped at the...

Beastforged World - B1 Chapter 18

Daniel didn’t dare to meet my eyes. He even turned away whenever I looked straight at him.

His mother couldn’t have been more different. Her eyes never averted from me, and that was far more uncomfortable than I was willing to admit openly. She inclined her head slightly to the side and looked… satisfied?

“I was sure Daniel would tell you all about the test, but it looks like there was no reason to worry. He didn’t tell you anything, did he?” Mrs. Zerog asked, as if sh...

Beastforged World - B1 Chapter 17

POV - Daniel 

“Are you not happy to see us, son?” Father asked me with his all-too-familiar, indescribable expression. His voice was as monotonous as ever, and it was hard to tell if he was joking or angry at me. Maybe he didn’t particularly care either.

“Of course, I was happy,” I murmured between two bites, but the happiness of my parents’ return was overshadowed by worries.

It was already the night of the 14th, and Adam hadn’t ...
