I know it's been a while since the last chapter, so I figured I should do at least a post about it.
First and foremost, I'll be changing the chapter length to ~3k in hopes that the chapters come faster.
This last chapter had mostly taken some time due to me being busy and not figuring out how to do a scene.
Sorry for the delay, like actually sorry. Soon I'll have a little more time free, hopefully things will get faster.
Edit: added the deleted chapters in epub and pdf in case someone wants them.
Been rewriting some stuff. It's nothing groundbreaking or anything, so no need to reread, just some things that bugged me for quite a while.
I'll be leaving the PDF and Epub with all the chapters and the changes in here:
Ch1:
-defined Amy's personality a little better

The people have voted, so here is Lain's pov of chapter 11 as they escape from the first nightmare. Thanks for your patience.
The cramped passage squeezed Lain's shoulders as she hurried after Amy into the dark. Behind them, those monsters scraped at the walls, trying to get into the corridor.
"Do you know where we're going?" Lain forced herself to shout. Speaking loudly still felt unnatural, even in this critical situation.
"Yes," Amy's voice came b...
2025-08-18 12:21:53 +0000 UTC View PostComment more specifically which kind of content do you want (kind of like what specific pov or art) I'll take the comment with more likes.
Also, my goal for these weeks of not uploading in RoyalRoad still hasn't changed; I still want to make the Patreon actually proper, so if the worst comes to worst, I will extend the duration of the little break over there.
Thank you for your patience.
2025-08-13 20:14:28 +0000 UTC View PostThe preparations for the ritual were finally completed.
Crow lay unconscious in the center of an overly complicated-looking blood circle carved directly into the obsidian floor, his bare torso marked with glowing blood lines infused with mana that pulsed in rhythm with his heartbeat.
Thanks to everyone's generous donations, the ritual had been completed without Amy becoming completely anemic. However, it had also caused a little side effect—not really an actual problem l...
"This is not proper," Lyra muttered for the fourth time as they navigated another turn in the academy's corridor, her grip on Crow's legs wobbling slightly.
Amy did not respond; instead, she adjusted her hold on Crow's torso. Her shoulders were already aching, and they'd only been walking for two minutes.
Currently, the two of them were carrying the unconscious boy, with Amy on the lead, walking backwards carrying Crow's upper body, while Lyra followed behind holding the lower p...
Amy stared at the manga's final panel: her youn

Y'all remember when this novel was starting out and chapters were finished in one or two days at most? Cause I do, and damn, I miss it.
2025-07-12 03:04:49 +0000 UTC View PostThis chapter does not include the comments yet; it's in the next which
should hopefully be soon (wink wink (no, for real, this time it should be soon)). Saying this so no one gets disappointed.
162, The Weight of Gold.
Just off the title alone, Amy could already tell this chapter was going to be a pain in the ass. Maybe that's why she couldn't bring herself to actually start reading it.
As she sat there, in a corner of the obsid...
As usual, late chapter = art (a chapter is late if it takes more than three or four days to arrive.)
I'll finish it as soon as possible.
Thank you for your patience and have a good day.
2025-06-27 07:35:00 +0000 UTC View Post"Seven chapters, huh?" Amy muttered, letting out a sigh.
[Yes. They've been accumulating since things started getting complicated.]
"Complicated… That's one way to put it."
She glanced around the chamber. Now that Lain and Iris had left to explore, there were only four people left, without counting herself. Zayd remained at his post, eyes closed in what might have been meditation. Ash had dozed off against the wall, exhausted, and Lyra meanwhile continued her healing on...
I genuinely thought today was the day, but its 10 am , I haven't sleep, and barely manage to write and edit 1k words.
Yup, its bad.
Why can't writing be as easy as drawing? I swear drawing just comes more naturally. For my next story I will make sure to have a backlog of 100 chapters because wtf is this.
I don't wanna open my big ass mouth and talk but I genuinely think that for tomorrow it's done. I will make sure of that.
Never ever again staling the manga chapters.
Alright, color me surprise because I did not expect betewn patreon and discord that there were going to be at least 50+ questions. Couldn't respond to them all, but if I ever make sequel of this I'll add them.
The panel opens in a dimly lit room with dramatic sparkles everywhere for no reason.
In the center: a large, suspiciously shiny cardboard box. From within the box, a fluffy white cat stares out with glowing blue eyes. Piles of cash, ramen packets, ...
Since the chapter is very late, and someone suggested this some time ago, I'll do a Q&A. However, instead of the usual, I'll make it as a interlude in-world chapter.
Act as if you are readers of the manga and are asking the mangaka questions. I'd appreciate it if you asked multiple questions, since I assume there won't be many.
Ask anything, even something meta, directly at me, and things outside of the play. I'll just indirectly respond through the mangaka by slightly chang...
As promised, here is the drawing. Not necessarily canon, of course. (Not denying or confirming anything 🙊)
In other news, I just remembered why I hate manga chapter reviews, because Jesus Christ, this doesn't end.
I have actually been somewhat stalling this chapter the past month or so in favor of advancing the plot, and holy, I regret it; there is so much to add, it's literally hell. Still better than Chapter 10, though.
I know every chapter lately feels like it is co...
"I'll upload it tomorrow"
I should keep my mouth shut, shouldn’t I? 😅
2025-06-13 01:02:19 +0000 UTC View PostI really wanted this to be a double release but the next chapter is taking a long while (for reasons that will be obvious once you read this one.) So I'll try to finish and post the next one tomorrow. Thanks for the pacience.
The world gradually reformed itself.
First came the sensation of falling—or perhaps rising, Amy couldn't tell which. The only thing she knew right now was that the teleportation—lasting longer than it should due to the world going...
2025-06-10 17:19:16 +0000 UTC View PostThank you for the pacience. Honnestly wanted to make it a bit longer but at this rate it would never come out so I'm gonna just post it and advance with the story. Still longer than the average one, though.
The silence was absolute. Even Amy's breathing seemed too loud in the frozen scene—Crow clutching his severed arm, Iris mid-turn, blood hanging in the air, Lyra screaming, Lain falling to the ground with a desperate emotion on her face, and Zayd with...
2025-06-03 19:05:02 +0000 UTC View PostSo, the chapter is veeeeeeeeeery late, and I feel obligated to make a post.
I have basically been rewriting it since I did not like how it went. And because I know where I want to get but not how to get there its been kind of difficult to find the tune. Not the first time it happens, so no worries, it's just a matter of time.
Thank you to everybody who offered to help me with beta reading and ideas, but don't worry, I got it.
I been suggested multiple times to make a channel...

Again, sorry for the late chapter. Just like the last one, (which, by the way, I think it's the longest chapter in this novel) its getting longer than I expected.
I'll try to bring it as soon as possible. Thank you for your pacience
I want to get out of this arc so bad cause the chapters have been a hell to write. At this rate, I might decide to pause the royalroad chapters this month so we at least have a few more in here.
Either way, late chapter, so choose the next drawing
2025-05-29 03:38:59 +0000 UTC View PostThe silence that followed the man's words was absolute. Everyone stood agape, staring at the person in the center of the barren room who had claimed to be Crow's father.
Amy too was paralyzed; she could barely believe the man actually made a direct appearance. It took her more than a few seconds for her mind to catch up. However, she did not stay in that shocked state for long. Right now, that wasn't the thing that mattered to her the most. Even if logically that should be her main con...
So here is the drawing as promised.
The next chapter should come...idk honestly. Been writing and deleting the whole day cause I don't like the way a scene goes, so really idk. I wanna say that today but maybe it goes tomorrow.
So, well, have a great day I guess.
Ignore the previous post. Actually imma delete it... So since the chapter is coming late, another art as an apology
2025-05-22 12:21:18 +0000 UTC View Post[Quite the morning jog, isn't it?]
"What?" Amy gasped between ragged breaths. Her heart hammered in her chest, her legs felt leaden, and her breath came in painful gasps. Basically, her whole body felt like shit.
She was running with all her might, yet it felt like she was the only one—apart from Lyra—putting any effort into it.
The group sprinted through the frozen streets of the city. Ash was in the lead while Crow and Iris flanked him. Meanwhile, Lain, Zay...
2025-05-18 15:05:54 +0000 UTC View PostGuys, go get your tissues because today we have sad news. This post is mainly to talk about scheduling change and a little about some concerns of y'all regarding the story.
Basically I'm changing the plan from one chapter a day to a chapter every 2~3 days until we reach 15 advance.
I say "Changing", but honestly it was already kind of that way. I simply cannot write +3k words every day and maintain quality like other authors (Warby has to be using some kind of black magic cause...
The group made their way back through the frozen streets, retracing their steps toward the inn where they'd encountered the terrified woman earlier.
Amy walked slightly behind the others, her mind racing. Zayd's words had troubled her deeply; the thought that tomorrow they would die if they did nothing to stop it turned in her mind constantly.
No matter how much she thought about it, she didn't get why so much was changing. Why were the chaos creatures congregating faster than the...

The people have voted, so here is the drawing.
I'll try to finish the chapter as soon as possible. It will come out probably tomorrow or with some luck today.
I'm again blocked in the chapter, so apologies for that 😔 I'm just not built for daily chapter, it seems. And since the next few chapters are kind of a big deal, I don't wanna rush them.
So, as compensation, you get another drawing. This time, choose it yourself.
2025-05-12 04:32:24 +0000 UTC View PostExams are mostly over, so I think by the end of next week, we will finally have the +10 chapters promised. And then I will finally rest...
Also, I just noticed that I start almost every chapter with the word Amy and now I can't unsee it.
Seven pairs of eyes stared upward at the colossal figure partially visible through the clearing clouds—a titanic woman with obsidian skin and torn wings, her enormous dark eyes gazing down upon their world.
