Chapter 108 - Sending a Message

Watching from atop the western gatehouse as the army under Chandra sets off, I stare at the back of Korenga, as she walks side by side with the Ajura clan leader. They are on their way to reinforce Erbilan, the gateway to the Herelier desert, where many key cities of the Dominion - including the capital - are located.

If there were a fast information network in this world, I alone would be enough to defend the entire continent. But messages are carried by birds or winged dem...

Chapter 107 - Moving Ever-Forward

"You're Drills?" I speak out loud what I just thought. At that word, Hestia puts a hand over her mouth and turns away, suppressing a snort. Is calling Svanhild by the nickname of Drills that funny? It's what her hair used to look like at the Royal Academy.

"... you traitor!" Svanhild spits at Dregana and gets up, but is hindered by the chains around her ankles. Her expression is one of seething anger, as she regards her former teacher with hatred.

"So, can you imagine what I came here to...

Chapter 106 - One Reunited, One To Go

With Senka guiding my flight back, I go even faster than I was on my way to Erbilan. Within just a few minutes, I arrive above the floating castle, my figurative heart beating faster at the thought that Hestia is here, and that I'll finally be reunited with her.

The citizens of Arkaim call out to me and cheer at my return. While slowly floating down towards the castle, I wave at them with a benevolent smile. Even though I can't wait to see the angel girl again, I can't just ignore my people wh...

Chapter 105 - Duties Of A Leader

My conversation with Senka went until the next morning. We pondered the pros and cons of finding and destroying the Imagination Engine, and it has left me mentally drained. We weren't able to come to a conclusive decision on the matter since neither of us knows all the factors. What happens to those beings whose lives are based on magic? What if all demons, which were created by Alverost, are actually magical in nature? Would they all fall apart and turn into goo, or just disappear completely? 2018-07-08 14:06:38 +0000 UTC View Post

Chapter 104 - A Show of Force

As expected, Zenlith wouldn't just leave like a beaten dog with its tail between its legs. Instead, he points his hand at me and performs a grasping motion, making me think that he's trying to compete with air pressure again.

Instead, I black out for a second, before the world returns before me. I find that my altitude has dropped a little, but all my limbs are still there and my mass hasn't changed at all. What did he do?

"[A-are you alright?]" Tahiri asks me while looking unexpectedly ...

Chapter 103 - Declaration of War

"... I see." The humanoid crocodile with a metal lower jaw, General Ophalen, mutters after I finish my explanations. Everybody in the throne room shows varying degrees of surprise, especially the Maid Corps who gathered as a welcoming committee and instead got roped into listening as well.

"That means, the Chaos-sama who was taken to the giants was not you?" The maid with the large translucent wings asks. With her bright green bob and the curved reflexive glasses that cover almost the entire u...

Chapter 102 - Liberation of Arkaim

I was right; the signal for the retreat didn't reach the humans still fighting inside the walls. The army on the outside is retreating quickly, while the demon reinforcements that were being torn apart by the dragons are giving chase in righteous fury. I'd tell them to go and secure the city instead, but I notice that the purple-skinned, six-armed demon I saw fighting Svanhild earlier is rallying their troops to do just that.

Picking her up and holding her unconscious form under one arm, I fly...

Chapter 101 - An Offer They Can't Refuse

"Why aren't you just eating them all?" I hear Senka's voice inside my head. Ever since I returned within the range of her telepathy, we've been talking to each other a lot. She even openly expressed that she has been missing me a lot, especially recently, due to the situation on the Demon Continent. "You could easily end this battle."

"Oh yeah, I haven't told you my plans." I speak in my mind while I fly across the battlefield sowing death and terror. "I don't intend to wipe out all of humanit...

Chapter 100 - Return of the Queen

Chapter 100!

As a celebration, you get a triple-length chapter in one go. This marks the beginning of the last volume of Chaos Part 1 (or season 1).

___________________________________________________________________

"What do you think of this Black Valkyrie?" General Ophalen looks across the Fields of Huwinn that surround Arkaim, the capital of the dominion, and asks into the room behind him.

"I hear that she is a black-winged Fata, and witnesses report that she h...

Chapter 99.5 - Service Heaven

"[You're slooow!]" Aorutihaua flies circles around the Chaos carrier while nagging about my speed. At first I thought they were the stoic type once they put on their full helm, but apparently, that isn't the case once they also wear the Golden Shawl that allows them to fly.

"[We're above the ocean, so I can't just experiment with my form.]" I reply through my avatar sitting on top of the balloon next to Tahiri. Last time I tried recreating a jet plane, it flipped me over, so I'm not too keen o...

Chapter 99 - Going Home

"[It's the ocean!]" I stand at the edge of the harbor and call out towards the sea stretching out endlessly in front of me. We've been inland for a while now, and it's always refreshing to see the wide open blue.

Some passersby laugh and whisper at my behavior, but I don't care. Our colorful group is already causing people to stare at us with a mix of curiosity and derision. Especially Korenga's tall frame and Aurelia's golden skin are drawing attention. Of course, she put on clothes - albeit ...

Chapter 98 - Body of Gold

Others Side

The gathered citizens, as well as most survivors of the garrison of Kairaki, stand and listen as Mereana holds a hastily improvised speech in regards to the future of the kingdom. With the death of the God King and most of his staff, the door has been opened for profound changes in this nation. Among the first things she addresses is the abolishment of slavery.

Kouratua can tell that she doesn't possess the qualities to lead a nation. Aurelia told hi...

Chapter 97 - The Savior of Adanak

It's over.

Actually, nothing is over, and things have only begun. Mataku's explanations have raised more questions than they answered, but for now, I understand that he has been alive for a very long time and that he's definitely far more powerful than any other being on this planet. It seems that rather than the sorcerers, he's the real evil in this world. While the sorcerers killed my mother, their goal isn't to turn this planet into a barren wasteland devoid of any life. I'll make sure to g...

Chapter 96 - Not the Final Bossfight

Others Side

"[Should you really be worried about me right now, my dear passing storm?]" Rapania's voice is sweet but poisonous, like colorful sap dripping from a leaf enticing curious animals to lap it up. Mereana falls to her knees and holds her head in pain at the sound. "[Your beloved creature is facing a crisis right now.]"

"[She can handle herself.]" Tahiri replies, implying that if she couldn't, it would just be her fate. "[This ends today.]"

Chapter 95 - This World Is An Illusion

Others Side

"[I don't know who that is.]" Awhina responds with a shrug upon hearing the name of Mithra.

"[Of course you would not.]" Aurelia states, a disdainful look on her face. "[In either case, I will be taking you prisoner now.]"

"[What makes you think that-]" Before the demi-goddess can finish her sentence, the golden woman tugs on the necklace demonstratively once again. It's like an owner pulling on the leash of her dog.

"[This way we will ge...

Chapter 94 - Taking Shape

"[Explain yourself!]" I tap my foot in impatience and lightly poke Makanui's chest with my spike arm. He inches back with a nervous smile as he holds up his hands and shrugs.

"[Well... you could say I'm a figurehead.]" The man begins, clearly not happy with describing himself the way he just did. "[I don't hold real power, and only need to show my handsome face to the people.]"

Striking a pose, Makanui winks at me. I'm sure he would be considered handsome in this nation, but I'm obviousl...

Chapter 93 - The Man Who Sold The World

"AAAHHH!!!"

"[Monster!]"

"[Help meee!]"

"[Nooo!!!]"

A choir of voices filled with absolute terror reaches me, and I feel the onset of ecstasy. Hundreds of human soldiers have already disappeared into my body, as I roll through the main street of Kairaki as a wave of flesh and tentacles.

The enemies are scattering, not even trying to put up a fight at this point, and all those who are caught in my path are swallowed whole. None can escape my cosmic hunger, even though my...

Chapter 92 - The Child of the Sun

This is no time to play at being a heroic warrior at the front lines. I have no idea what this Child of the Sun can do, so I'll have to go all-out from the start. I've already increased my density to the maximum and become the ultimate shield; now I need the ultimate spear to take my opponent down with a single hit.

Well, as ultimate as I can make it right now.

I think the best is the spirit spear, which I haven't used in a while. It's only because the plasma breath has been more useful ...

Chapter 91 - Perfect Matchups

With the three storm gods occupied by their mother Tahiri, I can turn my attention to the gathering army again. Among them, I can spot a few people who don't look like normal soldiers. They may be commanders or specialists, or even other members of the Six Arms, though I doubt they would come out now and leave the God King alone in his palace.

Tokomaha's clones are beginning to form a contingent, while Korenga pumps herself up with roars that should have the human army shaking in their boots. ...

Chapter W1 - Decision, Defense, Departure

Corruption is retreating from this world. The tenebrous influences of the ungodly mass of curses has been extinguished, and peace can return to man once more.

Yet, man seeks not peace.

Man seeks retribution, craves redemption, desires vengeance - through violence. Unbridled violence, directed at any and all that stands in its way. Once the enemies before one's eyes have been vanquished, what is there left to do? Will there finally be respite? Or does the blaze, once ignited, burn until a...

Status Update

The rewriting is close to completion, with only around 25 more pages to go.

I started at 189 pages in MS Word, and now I'm at 332 pages. I actually about doubled the word count, too (though I have no idea why the page count didn't double also).

This is basically just a notice to let you know that I'm not slacking and working on it hard. Those who are on my Discord know, because I practically post daily updates there. All you Patrons should join me there, since you can ask me questions an...

Chapter 90 - Bringing the War to Their Doorsteps

The journey across the Nukumania Plains proceeds without a hitch. All along the way, my children and I keep grabbing the large buffalo-like animals and bringing them up to the Chaos Carrier for food. In essence, only Awhina and Mereana need to eat properly cooked meals, but I still find myself in the kitchen quite often. After all, I need to regulate the fire on the stove, which I created with the matter from my own body and the use of magic.

You know your seemingly omnipotent body has reached...

Chapter 89 - Future Proofing

"[Everyone ready for takeoff?]" I ask through my avatar.

Everyone is gathered on the bridge - or rather communal area - of the Chaos Carrier and looking at me in anticipation. We left Anutawa shortly after finishing our big lunch together and traveled a distance away from the city. Since this form is massive, even bigger than the Godslayer Cannon, we had to go off-road and find some open space out of view, where I could prepare without causing any problems.

They nod in...

Chapter 88 - Avoid All Side Quests

Alright, three barrels should be enough. It's within the price range of what Mereana told us it would cost, too. They're the type with a lid that can be locked in place by pushing a wooden bar through two holes in the upper rim. At one glance, I can tell that these three would be able to fit my children, so I better fill them with water soon after boarding. Because I just know that they'll play around with them otherwise.

"[How ya gonna transport them, missy?]" The storekeeper asks me with a r...

Chapter 87 - Resupply in Anutawa

"[Where's Tokomaha?]" Korenga asks in the morning, after everyone - including my children and Tahiri - assembled on the bridge of the Chaos Carrier. I call it a bridge, but there are no instruments or a steering wheel. Instead, there is a table and chairs, making this more of a communal room where people can gather for meals.

"[She's still resting.]" I reply quickly and curtly. She didn't get much sleep last night, after all. Tahiri gives me a knowing grin, but I don't react to it and turn to ...

Chapter 86 - Downtime for Our Heroes

"[It is that way... I think.]" Mereana points down below through the translucent membrane that substitutes for windows on the Chaos Carrier.

Yes, that's what I called it. I simply couldn't come up with anything else and just went with that in the end.

"[What do you mean, you think?]" My avatar turns to the red-haired woman and raises an eyebrow. She looks away in embarrassment and returns to stare down at the landscape below - standing a good distance away from the membrane that the enti...

Chapter 85 - The Chaos Flight Program

"[That's the last one...]" Stabbing a spike made of dragon armor through the chest of an Ashling, which promptly scatters into smoke and dust, I remark with a sigh. I look up into the sky, which has been dark ever since the battle against Felgar. Back then it was because Tahiri summoned a mass of thunderclouds, followed by the eruption of the volcano and a huge amount of ash being expelled into the sky, but the current darkness stems from the fact that night has fallen.

"[Really? That was it?]...

The Color of Trust - Chapter 1

The din of the battle raging outside was reduced to a murmur in the twisted corridors and echoless halls of the obsidian castle. Its sparsely illuminated hallways resembled the bowels of an unholy beast that could come to life and attempt to begin its digestion cycle at any time, and the darkness broken up by flickering torches appeared to perform a feverish dance in the corners of one's vision.

A man in his early twenties, with short dark brown hair and a pair of attentive green eyes ran ran ...
