"This is the second spot," declared Priam, absorbing his momentum. His bare foot landed on a broad maple leaf without even causing a tremor. Thanks to [Kinetic Control], he seemed to weigh no more than a shadow.
A large and heavy form crashed onto a nearby branch, causing a deafening crack. The tree and its red foliage trembled. A subtle entrance courtesy of Kazuki.

Esmée turned to her brother. "Galinthor, aran'shan enithrin'kai enithoron. Ilin'dor enithalon en'dorithor shan'althar."
The commander's face turned crimson. The man - or rather, the empyrean - appeared furious as he visibly struggled to breathe. Despite Priam's efforts, the situation showed no signs of de-escalating. It wasn't entirely surprising; Priam had more or less taken their princess hostage.

Despite losing one of them, the warriors held their own remarkably well. Priam assessed their skill at the level of gladiators from the thirty-fifth wave - too weak to face an Earl alone but powerful enough to be menacing in numbers.
The five guards worked as a cohesive unit, effectively protecting each other. Slashing, parrying, blocking, they formed a pentagon upon ...

Closing his eyes, Priam focused on his Talent. [Concepts Archipelago] was directly linked to his soul, granting him an intimate connection. This connection allowed Priam to gather information and, more importantly, to freely use his world. With a thought, he attempted to open a portal at the center of the enchanted sphere.
Nothing happened.
[Error. A portal is already open.]
Priam grimaced as he read the noti...

Leaning casually against the trunk of Log-a-rhythm, Priam and Alain gazed at the stars. In their hands, two wooden mugs held a golden liquid. Sap.
"A grand vintage," Priam joked, licking his lips. "I would give a lot for some good cheese and a baguette..."
Even in another world, the French remained steadfast in their traditions.
Alain took a sip and sighed in contentment. "For a fisherman like me, it lacks fish."

Second Glossary that goes all the way back to the Elysium. You already know most of what's in there, but if you're looking for skills or a Title, it's easier!
It contains two very interesting things:
The first is the description of Archipelago Concepts - in the Talents section.
The second is three questions/answers at the end of the Glossary. If you have any further questions, I'll answer them in comments!
Back to writing chapter 139!

"A rift?!" exclaimed Seth as he saw where Kazuki was leading him.
Without a word, the hoplite lifted the skull of his enemy and brought it down onto the rift. The result was immediate.
It vibrated strongly, as if he had placed an ingot on a circular saw. It took Seth less than a second to start screaming. Kazuki took it as a good sign. His bones were not invincible. When the spear isn't enough, get a bigger one.

Esmée’s grimoire trembled. The princess, her hands covered in soapy water, mentally connected to it. A moment later, she froze.
The Corrupted was heading towards the First. The Hoplite was also present. Three out of the ten rivals would soon be united. The Corrupted would undoubtedly be hostile, and a fight would draw the attention of the others.
This opened up possibilities she had to seize. After all, an [Author]'s job was to use ...

Priam sat cross-legged, observing Kazuki's training. A few meters away, the hoplite warrior seamlessly executed movements with his spear. Watching the warrior expertly command his weapon and master every muscle in his body, Priam was filled with awe. There was a primal power in the hoplite's attacks that captiv...

For a fleeting moment, Priam beheld a crown of golden green hovering above Log-a-rhythm. He blinked, and the mirage vanished. Another man might have doubted his vision, but [Eidetic Memory] confirmed to Priam what he had seen. A crown. A royal symbol. Yet, the ritual aimed to transform Log-a-rhythm into a guardian, not a king.
A guardian wasn't a king. But a king is a guardian...

Dishnu approached Log-a-rhythm, before starting to gently caress its bark. Behind him, Priam wasn't quite sure what to do. Should he just stand there and watch the dryad fondle his tree? DIshnu's v...

"Hold it."
Kazuki halted his precise carving and presented the wooden piece to Alain. The architect-carpenter-craftsman examined it from every angle before breaking into a satisfied grin. The hoplite's Spear Mastery allowed for such intricate cuts.

The pitch and roll of the ship roused Priam. Born by the ocean, he had long conquered seasickness. As he opened his eyes, a smile unexpectedly graced Priam's face. It had been ages since he was cradled by the ocean's embrace.
Suddenly, memories flooded back. The return to Elysium, Kazuki and Dishnu, the Brood Mother, and this new world.
The descendant of Charybdis.
He straightened up hurriedly.

The megalodon was closing in fast. On land, Priam would have attempted a preemptive strike by launching Promesse. Underwater, he doubted he could seriously injure the monster before him.
The creature was now just a few meters away, its jaws wide open. In a defensive stance, Priam waited for the last moment. A massive tooth penetrated his Domain. Now!

The sun watched the waves crash against the reefs. Most were natural, simple rocky peaks rising above the sand. However, one obstacle had caught Priam's attention: a wreck. The discovery of the weathered wooden carcass of an old ship had initially surprised him, before he recalled his arrival. He had landed on a beach bordered by the ocean on one ...

"Hey Rose, check out what I can do!" shouted Sphinx.
Rose turned toward Sphinx and took a step forward. Instantly, she fell upward. A few branches of Log-a-rhythm caught her as Sphinx burst into laughter.
"I'll get you back," chuckled Rose, starting to climb the branches in reverse.
In her miniaturized form, Sphinx somersaulted through the air. Since she learned to manipulate gravity, it had become one of her favorite games. She creat...

Three hours later, the fire began to subside. Priam was aware that the immense blaze must have piqued the interest of many foes. Fortunately, [He Who Eludes Death] was still primed.
Seeing the flames wane, Priam decided to advance. The longer he waited, the greater the risk of someone beating him to the punch.
Stepping into the flames, Priam winced. The temperature must have still been hovering around six hundred degrees...

The moment Priam realized he'd been spotted, he sprang into action. Gripping Promesse, he sacrificed half his kinetic energy and released it. Like a missile, the spear shot towards the boss.
Simultaneously, Priam felt his mist tremble. The cocoon covering the abandoned tower above him tightened. He looked up and cursed. The well was already halfway closed. The way out was now impossible.
"Fuck. Let's see who's trapped with whom!"

Cocoons. Cocoons everywhere. Priam had nothing against cocoons per se, but their color set his nerves on edge. The faint light erased the golden sheen, leaving only white patches against a blackened world. The scene reminded him of the monochromatic zone created by Hecate's New Moon.
A shiver ran down Priam's spine as he recalled that strange power. It nearly cost him his life.
The wind had picked up slightly, easily weaving its way through the trees....

"Be careful," warned Alain.
"Always," Priam smiled.
Without further delay, Priam headed toward Kazuki and Louis. The man and the hoplite were training together near the river. It seemed as though the two warriors were engaged in a slow-motion battle. Priam quickly realized they were simply comparing their respective arts.

"Have you encountered other rivals?!" exclaimed Priam.
Dishnu was the first rival who hadn't tried to kill him when they met. Priam was now a bit wary of those among the new civilizations who had finished the Tutorial the quickest.
Dishnu blinked, his eyelids like vibrant green leaves, before making a peculiar sound. Seems like the twittering of a small bird, Priam mused.

The first thing Priam heard as he emerged from Log-a-rhythm were Sphinx's sobs. His friend curled up in the grass at the base of the tree, tears streaming down her face. Looking up, Priam spotted Kazuki training near the river. His graceful movements resembled a blend of katas and shadow boxing, but with a spear.
Clearly, the hoplite hadn't informed Sphinx of the...

"BLAHHHHH!"
Sphinx rolled in the grass, repulsed by its taste. As Priam watched her, a memory resurfaced in his mind. At age four, he decided to sample some grass in a park. Before his parents could stop him, he had stuffed a handful into his mouth. All kids had a great sense of timing to cause before they could be stopped.
[Eidetic Memory] reminded him of the taste of the grass - a kind of raw salad. He had promptly spat it out on the ground ...
