Chapter 202: The Downsides of Being a Superstar

Back to Elysium with a juicy conversation...
Next chapter : Tuesday 19th.

Enjoy!

"My brother proposes an alliance between our two civilizations," Esmée said, avoiding Priam's gaze.

The response left him puzzled.

"An alliance?"

"A marriage," clarified Esmée. "Between you and me."

Stupefied, Priam remained silent for a moment before bursting into laughter. His laughter lasted a few seconds before he managed to c...

"I'd say I've read thousands of books, not tens of thousands. I wish I had, but school got in the way," chuckled Priam.

"How was it?" Esmée asked, her eyes bright with curiosity.

"School?" Priam shrugged. "It was nice, but I realized it too late. Spent fifteen years thinking it was a chore. I was quite the restless kid; ...

While sprinting, Gabrielle wiped her tears with the back of her sleeve. As she approached, the two hunters guarding the boar pen furrowed their brows.

"Oh, it's little Gabrielle. Is there a problem?"

"Open... the... pen..." The teenage girl could barely speak, her breath short.

The two guards exchanged uncertain glances. Despite her status as an apprentice apothec...

Eve jolted as one of her illusions heard the shout. What lousy timing, she thought, focusing her attention. She quickened her pace and entered the tribal encampment. The six guards paid her no mind, [Scotomization] forcing them to unconsciously reject her presence. Their immediate memory was rewritten, preventing them from seeing or remembering her.

Inside the camp, a child mounte...

"Everything okay?"

Priam opened his eyes and gazed at the sun dominating his world. The lonely star was standing out against a black firmament.

"I'm good," he replied, rising to his feet. Using Micro, Priam marveled at his veins glowing with aether. His second meridian network would undoubtedly assist in enhanc...

Priam stood quietly, observing his inner world. [Concept Archipelago] was a sphere with a radius of thirty-six meters, its borders leading to... nothing. While his birth Universe was infinite, with boundaries in perpetual expansion, his own world was more like a bubble existing in an incomprehensible space. The only certainty he had was that tearing this bub...

"Ready."

Kazuki lunged forward, his new onyx spear in hand. Raising his weapon, he brought it down as if he were chopping wood. The ground beneath Priam's feet compressed as he blocked. Enhanced by Micro II, the hoplite's strength was formidable.

Trapped between the ground and the enemy's spear, Priam grimaced as he saw the hoplite prepare...

In the void that cradled his soul before each resurrection, Priam grimaced. He had felt it wither as his body exploded. [Tenacious Spirit] hadn't even had time to activate before his soul flickered out.

Priam grimaced as the rays of the Necromoon touched his skin. Leaving behind the protection of Log-a-rhythm, he was swiftly flying away. The event’s rewards were tempting, but Priam refused to jeopardize his loved ones.

Zooming through the skies, Priam replaced his mist cloak with flames and activated his scales. Their protection cost him no aether and partially blocked the crimson light of the malevolent star. The relief made him sigh with contentment. View Post

A seismic jolt rattled the aether galaxy. In his luminous wisp form, Priam marveled as the foundations of the universe trembled after the baptism's end, integrating a new nuance into the laws of the Universe.

A new race had emerged.

As the quake's intensity waned, Priam's consciousness felt the pull of reality. His awareness was plucked from the pure and infinite world of aether to return to the safety o...
