Chapter 113

The Core Problem

Healing the wound and ridding the Blight from my patient were easy. I had done both forms of magic so much by this point that I was basically on autopilot. Even healing the slightly burned scales from the dragon being forced to rest its corrupted neck against the Holy magic infused neck brace was easy to heal.

Actually, the Holy magic induced sunburn was oddly the hardest part of the whole operation thus...

Zero Potential: Chapter 9

Chapter 9

Immediately upon entering the second floor, Terra felt the presence of lurking danger, fortunately it was only a matter of instinct for the floor, and it denizens that Terra now only knew where the danger was, but where it was coming from.

See the second floor’s main enemies were spiders. Worse, these were magical spiders.

The spiders on the second floor were all natural Illusionists, as they had the ability to hide in plain sight. Not only could...

Chapter 112

The Hostile Patient

The dragon with its broken core was far more powerful than I originally thought. Its wounds were deep, honestly the beast had gone through so much pain and torture that most would have broken under such pressure. Yet, the dragon seemed to have survived and lived from spite alone. Honestly, I couldn’t help but feel somewhat in awe by their spirit. For it seemed that the spirit of revenge filled their body and pressed them forward to live day after ...

Zero Potential: Chapter 8

Chapter 8

Ninety-seven sweating teenagers who are all frightened and have been running around frantically trying to get the necessary supplies to survive for a week in the local dungeon. The elites all had clingers-on gravitating to them like flies to great dung heaps.

The reason for why there were suddenly so many more students was simple, while Terra’s class had been the cream of the crop of the elites of Class A students, the others who hailed from the privileged children of ...

Chapter 111

The Once and Former Dragon King

The final six dragons were all odd to say the least. Yes, it was clear that each dragon had their own backstory, a way to get on their good sides. But Mallory and I were never truly allowed forward until we healed the lowest members of the dragon clan.

This was odd, as there was clearly one dragon that was far older than the others, this was the one with the wound that went straight through and destroyed its magical core. Worse, it...

Month of July Update

Good morning everyone.

I have done a bit of soul searching recently and I have determined that what I have created so far for book 5 of ALEXiThymiA is terrible. As such I have deleted it, and will likely start again in a bit.

That said, I fully intend to make Zero Potential the new story that will take up a majority of the time previously devoted to ALEXiThymiA, before I go back to that series. 

Sorry for seeming wishy was...

Zero Potential: Chapter 7

Chapter 7

“The entire class ranking is on its head. We have F rankers, F rankers, in both B and A class, let alone most of E and D are now the newest members of F class. This entire thing is ridiculous. This simply must be stopped.” Ms. Parsons said, she was professor who was most incumbered by these changes as her students all dropping, meant that she would now be in charge of the F rank students, which were all her former E class students.

“What is the issue, I say a littl...

The Problems With Trained Bunnies

Offering of Tribute: One of your minions has conquered a minor node and is now offering it up as tribute to you, their one true master. Do you accept this offering?

Seeing the message, Maria was momentarily at a loss about what to do before she greedily accepted the offering. Though, she was worried about the amount of time that had passed.

A year went by, so long of a time that Maria almos...

Chapter 110

Tales of Dragon's Hordes

The Blight was eating the newly identified energy, or Qi, as I am trying to remember it is now called. This explains so much, and yet also doesn’t get me any closer to a complete understanding of what is happening. This explains so much in that the Blight used to expand even after draining people’s meridians and core completely dry. A few tenacious people were noted as having lived for days after their core was completely ...

Hidden Energies

Focus.

My third eye is amazing, when it is open, I can focus down to the smallest particles of people and even see the way blood, mana, and energy flow differently in the body. Sadly yes, there are three different flows that go within the body. Blood of course goes in the veins and arteries, while magic flows from the core and to the meridians. Energy, oddly enough, is one of the newest pieces of knowledge that I never knew existed in the...

The Esoteric Approach To Life

At first there was only pain, horrendous burning, uncontrollable pain, then the pain stopped. At first, I thought I had passed out, but really my mind and spirit went somewhere else, while my body continued its burning transformation.

Once removed from the events of the physical world, I was finally able to take in everything that was being offered to me, thanks to my recent evolution. Of course, I would find the random way to kick s...

Healing Related Mishaps

Where the demarcation line was for those seeing the dragon was rather simple to identify. There was an almost tangible line of energy that separated the two areas. The line was so thick and prevalent that even Mallory could identify the moment she crossed its threshold.

“Oh,” was all Mallory said, but the way she straightened her back and then stared at me made it so I was certain she knew she crossed the threshold.

“Yes, oh in...

Establishing A Routine

Sparring.

Move and counter move were taught, exchanged, and refined. The partner of this exercise, of this vaunted experience was Maria and her now fully subjugated rabbit. A rabbit that more resembled a full-size dog from the time before the integration.

The daily routine for the two, master and subjugated, was simple, as it began when the two felt comfortable enough to rise from their meditations and begin their kata...

I awoke to the sweetest sensation there was, to the act of leveling.

Ding.

Level up.

Your Void Healer class has increased to level 124.

Your Simulacrum Master class has increased to level 121.

Mentally I calculated everything that happened to me from this experience. I realized that both classes had increased by four levels each. Additiona...

A Less Than Optimal Introduction

Gasp!

My arrival as a double winged human with solid green eyes went a little differently than I had anticipated. Mainly because I assumed that I would be able to just arrive, and then enter without anyone noticing, before heading off to key points to complete the hurting dragon quest. At least that was the name I was mentally assigning to the quest to heal the Blighted dragons.

Spells being cast.

The next day, an hour before the sun was set to rise everyone in the training rooms were awoken by loudly blaring alarms. Everyone but Terra, who had spent the entire night in what was now a set ritual of cultivating her mana and filling up her massively empty reserves of energy. Through the few hours of meditation, she managed to get a good thirty-seven percent of her now overly large mana pool filled. This was more than enough for most events, at one point in her past she re...

Perks of The Job

As we arose, I could finally see what had cut off the right-side track, or the track that would normally have been traversed by the orcs. Further up on the right-hand portion of the paths leading upward were dragons. Oddly enough, the fact that dragons were there in the tree was not the problem, as I could tell people generally rode dragons, or at least the small wyvern type dragons. Honestly, I had been so focused on healing the branches on the way up...

Masenia: Chapter 23 Dominance

Chapter 23

Dominance

The glowing bunny radiated power, but even still there were flaws to its evolution. The growth was forced, meaning the bunny pushed itself through the evolutionary threshold too quickly. Maria, knowing this, realized that there would be a surge of power radiating from the bunny, but then due to the nature of the forced evolution it would likely pass out.

Maria’s first thought was to just avoid the evolving rabbit and finish it off after it ran out of e...

Flying In Style

“So, double wings?” Mallory asks.

“Yes.” I reply, focusing on not one but two sets of wings that I now have growing on my back. Honestly, they feel a little itchier than I thought they would.

“That was your solution to creating a flying spell. You just created wings?” Mallory asks again, still somewhat incredulous at the idea.

“What? I already had the floating spell, which makes it so I can get to any height. But then I t...

“Good evening, it is my unfortunate task to inform you of the Purging Plague that is now targeting all users who enter or exit from a dungeon. What started as a localized infestation has apparently spread to all current and former Supers from around the world. Even the native elves and orcs are not immune as they too have seemingly found themselves at a loss for power.” With that the screen behind Rachel Rive...

Degrees of Being a Doctor

“Once we get to floor two hundred, we both might need to leave.”

Those words echoed round in my mind for some reason. Over the past few days, I knew that Mallory was acting strangely, but those words were the icing on the cake. I understood that she likely had guild obligations that would pull her away from here, from me, but I couldn’t help but feel that she expected me to leave with her.

To be honest, I felt the deep call t...

Chapter 168

Demon Knight Battle Part I

Looking at the soldiers that had fully manifested their Void energy behind their leader, the recently slain Super Warder, Alexa noticed that their souls now seemed stable. Unlike the previous groups that she had squared off against, these five had souls that were now fully merged with the chaotic energy. The effects made it so they were both instantly more powerful, but also felt wrong.

Everyone, even the Supers who had...

Immediately after being healed Mallory left to explore a world that had been mostly lost to her for years. The first thing she did was to get her guild to set up a screening checkpoint, making sure that not just anyone with a high level could come and pester her healer. And the little elf was her healer, that much was a guarantee, at the very least she would make sure she offered the best recruitment package for the little healer. Just her abilities alon...

Chapter 167

Demon Summoning Part II

The world was spinning and constricting violently. Just as all those years ago, when all the popular girls began spreading lies about Alexa, she could already feel the same underpinnings at work here.

Mentally Alexa knew she was being played, that the media and its perceptions of her were being turned about on their heads, but she was powerless to stop the inevitable conclusion. The end point of this whole operation was as clear as the ult...

A message that was not entirely shocking appeared for all to read. Anyone that was fully awakened past their first tier and not inside a current battle for a node would see the message.

Seeing the notification, the four sisters contemplated for a moment, then finally one of the four spoke.

“So our services here are no longer ne...

The Life and Times of Mallory

In this moment, Mallory felt truly blessed. Here she was free of pain for the first time in what felt like an eternity but was only two and a half long years. Two and a half years where she watched her friends cut ties with her, where she watched her family only feel comfortable to talk to her through missives. Where she felt all but abandoned and left to die by the world she so desperately loved for so long.

Mallory learned a few th...

Alexa stood on top of the black with golden edges casket that her mother had spent agonizing hours choosing. This was the casket that most closely resembled the uniform being worn by Warden, the man who would forever be remembered as her father.

Yet, there was something terribly wrong. Not just with where she was standing, yes standing on the casket of anyone was terrible, even her rationale mind agreed this was not the best of places. Unfo...
