Minkalla Chronicles Floor 6
Eraxs ran.
He ran for his life.
Draxs, Craxs, Braxs, and Araxs were all already dead, and he didn’t want to end up like them.
Folded Reflections was a floor of mystery, and in Minkalla, mystery translated into danger.
Anyone who had ever gotten the floor could appear as a reflection. That was a well-known fact, and was taken as just another one of the many dangers ...

Path of Ascension Book 2 is officially available on Kindle, KU, Print, Audible! While none of you NEED to read the new version that is appearing on Kindle, it has been thoroughly revised and edited to make it a much cleaner book without changing any actual content. It’s a significantly smoother version of the story you know.
The audiobook was performed by a narrator I hand-picked out of a substantial list of options, and he did an incredible job making the story a new...

Ok this is the end of this book/arc. What a wild ride. So officially I'm taking a break for the next two chapters after this, buttttttt as I still owe you guys the last two floors of the Minkalla Chronicles those will come out instead. So the 10th will be Minkalla Chronicles floor 6 and the 13th will be Minkalla Chronicles floor 7. After that the next book starts and we will have our customary "see the wider realm chapter" to hint at the book on the 17th. Then we are back to Matt and co...

Lets talk about how this arc will finish out. The 3rd will be the last Matt chapter and then the 6th will be the Emp chapter to finish out the arc.
Normally at that time, finishing an arc, I would take a two chapter break. And I kinda sort of will. The 10th and 13th will be breaks for everyone else and you guys (Tier 15+ pats) will get the last two Minkalla Chronicles chapters.
That will catch us up, and give me some time to work on planning the next arc. Not idea to have a break ...

Chapter 209
Luna watched the planet of copper and gears floating in front of her and waited.
It took a deliberate effort to not allow her perception of time to slip into a timeframe relative to her Tier. That would just make it take subjectively longer for the children to get out. Great for when she needed to sneak in a cat nap, but less than ideal now.
It was a symptom of the increasing stress that was affecting everyone.
As the final floors of Minkalla wer...

Alvin looked at the cluster of buffalo with various elemental horns and contemplated how he could kill them.
Things had changed.
His team had earned enough Genesis Energy on the fourth floor, but with his repeated injuries and captures, he had been stuck in a rut. If not for those blasted extortionists taking all of his Genesis Energy for a single potion, he could have left with them, but no.
They had left him.

Liz looked at Matt, red-eyed and with sadness dripping from her voice. “I loved fire growing up. Still do, really… the flicker of the flame, like a tiny life of its own. Mom would always play with me using her fires, they’d be there when I scraped my knee, or if I was tired or bored. Flames of all colors, warm to the touch but never burning. My siblings, when they visited, always showed off too. Whenever they both were around at the same time, Alice and Erin...

Chapter 207
Aster came out of her reflection and spat. The ice cream had been fine, but the fourth and fifth lives they’d brought her to were less than stellar.
In one, Matt had died, leaving her all alone, which had been frankly awful. And while the Concept had changed and been about making her as strong as possible, turning her fur to literal ice and using it as a way for her Talent to leverage its might against her ow...

Aster stretched out across the floor, nose tucked between her front paws as she thought. Being a human was still an unusual situation, but now she was trying to readjust to her fox body and take a few minutes to process.
She’d certainly never seen herself as that much of an artist, but she also couldn’t deny the enjoyment sh...

Aster found herself sitting in a room similar to their living room, but there was one subtle difference.
Someone had forgotten to turn off the air conditioner, and everything was covered with a layer of frost.
Frankly, she needed to try that herself, but what really caught her attention were the six perfect scoops of ice cream sitting on the table.
One vanilla, one strawberry, one grape flavored, one mint with chocolate, one that smelled like spring, and fi...

Ok lets have that talk.
This is important so please read. Seriously.
So the next chapters are the folded reflection lives. No surprise there. But. BUT I wrote those a little differently. Normally I have an idea for how I want to write a chapter and crank it out but the reflection lives are a chance for me to play with our known characters in mini little worlds and not ruin cannon.
What does that mean for you the reader? Welppp so far I have ...

Matt roused with a groan as Liz gently shook him awake.
Everything hurt, so he immediately channeled [Endurance] to help alleviate the aches and pains.
But where the skill normally washed away soreness like this, it did little more than mute the injuries thanks to the healing cooldown his body was accruing.
It didn’t do anything for the spiritual strain h...

Matt’s copy shot out a [Mana Slash] immediately upon seeing them, while Aster’s cast [Ice Spear] at the same time.
It might have been threatening, but the two spells were half-formed at best; they were so weak, they only fizzled out in their flight.
The copies Minkalla started with were bad; Matt knew that from all the reports they had seen. But this was beyond his expe...

Kristan breathed slowly through the snow and blinked as quietly as she could, trying to see what was going on around her without giving away that she was still alive.
Letting her eyes unfocus, she checked her surroundings as best she could without using her spiritual perception, which might be felt by the others.
Spring had fallen, or at least, was in the process of falling, but she didn’t want to get captured.

Slipping to the side, Matt avoided the rake of a lizard monster's claw and punched the air, casting [Fist Blast] with his short jab.
While too weak to do serious damage, it was enough to knock the lizardman off balance, causing its follow-up tail swipe to narrowly miss him. With the opening, Matt chopped down with his longsword and cut a deep furrow into the lizard's shoulder.
The creature tried to scuttle away, but he pinned it to the ground with his ...

Matt’s spiritual sense didn’t even have enough time to properly register what was in the safe room before he rolled to the right. At the same time, Susanne’s and Aster's AI linked with his own, giving him a wealth of information.

Matt and his friends were sitting around the living room playing a board game. Well, technically Susanne and Aster still were. He and Liz had been defeated already, and Aster was shamelessly cheating, but somehow still losing to Susanne.
As Aster's defeat became even more apparent, Liz tried once again to get them to switch to poker. “Come on guys, poker’s fun, and I don’t cheat at it. You guys have a chance.”

When Matt finally got back to the fight, it was over.
Given the number of cultivators he’d had to fight on his way, and just how long it took him to get back on his feet, he wasn’t terribly surprised. It had been perhaps five minutes since he’d been thrown several blocks away from the fight’s epicenter, and fights of this level rarely lasted longer. The massive wave of Genesis Energy and Favor he’d gotten a minute or so ago was also someth...

Vibia took a deep breath as she entered the third floor and smiled.
She felt good.
Despite her losing all of her cultivation, she felt fantastic. Better than she had in centuries.
Everything looked interesting and new, from a weaker perspective, and she had never felt so alive. Or at least, not since she reached Tier 14.
She had learned a lot about herself in the last few weeks. Not everything she reflected on was nice, but ...

Ok so information for you all. This is a 8k chapter and 194 is a 10k chapter. Normally with two chapters this large I'd split them into three and cut down on the individual word count but they are fights and I refuse to cut a fight in the middle.
That said I will be counting 194 as a double which means it will come out like normal on Friday the 16th and we will be skipping the chapter on the 19th.
