Book 2: Chapter 41

Felix pulled the orb from his inventory and carefully placed it into the statue’s outstretched hands. The orb floated on the water as it poured out, spinning in place for a few seconds before it began to glow. Felix backed up a few paces as the orb brightened and a large dark rectangle appeared in the air in front of it. A slight breeze of cool air blew out of the rectangle as Felix peered into it without getting too close. He just managed to make out what appeared to be a stone cave that d...

Book 2: Chapter 40

Felix decided to start looking for treasure himself so, he hopped off the edge of the ledge and onto the second floor of the city. He slowed himself to a gentle landing in the back garden of a large estate that was enclosed by a large black, wrought iron fence along with hedges. Felix carefully stepped into the garden and into what appeared to be a hedge maze, which he did not feel like he had time for. Floating into the air above it, Felix looked down and saw quite a few Devoured hidden with...

Book 2: Chapter 39

Felix walked around looking into each sarcophagus and inspecting each experiment. There were far fewer experiments in the room than there were entries in the book. Apparently, Erolan had removed and replaced some the experiments over time. Not all of the sarcophagi contained corpses, some of them contained items. Notably, there was a suit of armor and an large great axe. The armor looked like your standard affair, steel plate armor. Felix mentally pulled up his scan of Erolan’s experiment l...

Book 2: Chapter 38

NOTE: Just as a refresher for what's happening, here's the last paragraph from the last chapter:

Felix took a few deep breaths and peeked around the doorway and into the room. The body was exactly where it was before and everything in the room was in the exact same state as he remembered. Felix cautiously stepped forwards and into the room. He watched every step he took, making sure he didn’t step on anything, his every sense as alert as possible, ready for anything. Felix managed t...

Book 2: Chapter 37

The castle sat at about the center of the city with the area behind it being slightly smaller than the area in front of it. The area Felix had walked through was conical and bordered by two rivers, each running from outside the city into the lake at the bottom of the cliff. The buildings nearest the rivers, outside of that cone were densely packed with many floors. Moving away from the rivers, towards the back of the castle, the houses grew increasingly larger and more spread out. Behind the ...

Book 2: Chapter 36

At the conclusion of Felix’s tests Nova decided this was far too boring so they mentally told Felix they were going to fly back to the city and find something to eat. He was worried at first, until he felt how confident Nova was that they could find their way back. Felix wanted to go with them, but he felt like he needed to figure out what had or was happening to this undercity and the Devoured within.

Nova departed and Felix chose the building that was the least damaged right on the ...

Book 2: Chapter 35

Together, Felix and Nova managed to walk up to just a couple dozen meters away from the creature which allowed them to see further into the town and see many more Devoured. Felix was wary of getting too close to them, especially once he saw that there were dozens of them spread throughout the buildings, some inside, most just on the roads. As they approached though, the Devoured continued to just loiter about in a creepy way. They definitely reminded Felix of zombies, though those were much e...

Book 2: Chapter 34

Interestingly to Felix, as he flew, he noticed that the gravity in the world event was slightly stronger than he was used to. He didn’t notice the effects on his body but as he flew, his mana drain was higher than he was used to. He also realized this was just in relation to Trenus, not Earth as he had no way of measuring the and quantifying the gravity to properly compare them. Coming out of the tutorial, his body was much stronger and more resilient too so he couldn’t just qualitatively...

Book 2: Chapter 33

They walked outside to the vehicle they had previously constructed and Felix hopped into the passenger seat on the right while Martin hopped into the seat left of him. Martin checked a few things then gingerly pulled a lever between his legs to start the vehicle moving. They slowly picked up speed as they rolled through the field until they were traveling about the speed of a car on a residential road.

“Any more and the enchantments… Without batteries they might burn out.”

Book 2: Chapter 32

Felix quickly fed Nova 30 mana batteries then patiently waited out the 5 minutes. Everyone in the building seemed to be nervously adjusting their equipment and checking through their inventories at the last minute. Noah and Amelia were embracing each-other and Will and Alan whispering in each-other’s ear. After 5 minutes were up, Felix felt the biggest lurch in ambient mana yet as everyone attending vanished from Trenus and reappeared in what looked like a greyscale nightmare.

Book 2: Chapter 31

Felix continued his pattern of working out in the morning followed by practicing his Dragon Dance Steps. He upped both of those to 3 hours each and observed marked improvements in both. For working out, he was gaining approximately the same stats as before but now he wasn’t reaching the limit of his equipment now that he was using his staff and plates. Before the integration, he would have to follow a plan that would strain his muscles appropriately with rest time in between designed by a p...

Book 2: Chapter 30

While Henry was forging the plates, Felix inscribed spells onto thin metal discs so Henry could swap out the spells in his cannon once it was finished. He gave Henry a quick run down of how it should work and handed him the discs along with a couple batteries as backups. From this point on, Henry shouldn’t need Felix to finish the cannon, all he had to do was finish forging it. He had decided to use Soul-Steel mostly because it was the rarest material he had which was unfortunately very dif...

Book 2: Chapter 29

The initial hour quickly came and went as they all stood around and talked. It didn’t seem like anyone had taken Silas up on his offer and he was simply left alone in the room with his entourage. He had at one point knocked on the Stormbringer’s panel but gave up after 10 minutes or so of no one answering. He returned to his room and after another 30 minutes or so of no one visiting him, Silas closed the panel and no one else at the meeting saw or heard from him again that meeting. The vo...

Book 2: Chapter 28

Felix didn’t make it all the way back to Atalus before the screen he had been expected appeared before him.

Book 2: Chapter 27

NOTE: The image embedded in the text is just the status screen. It is displayed twice, once as an image and then as text. Going forward, I'm not sure if I will keep doing both the image and the text status screen. Both are kind of a pain right now so I'll see about automating them.

Over the next 4 months, Felix fell into a strict schedule of working out for 2 hours followed by 2 hours of practicing the Dragon’s Dance. Grim had given him new forms and he felt he was g...

Book 2: Chapter 26

Authors Note: 

Trying something new for this chapter with a text post. As you can see (with the two system screens in this chapter) system screens are a little weird because patreon text formatting is not super capable.

Let me know if you prefer this (someone messaged me about having trouble with the previous posts) and I will keep doing it. If you prefer the images or other formats, those are still included in the same way, as attachments to this...

CotTW Book 2: Trenus (Chapters 1 - 25)

This is the combined book 2 with the first 25 chapters included. The next combined book will be posted on the last Friday of May.

I will be posting the combined Book 2 to date (chapters 1 through 25) in a separate post for visibility.

Book 2: Chapter 24

Book 2: Chapter 23

Book 2: Chapter 22

As per yesterday's chapter (posted on Sunday), I have included the photo as an attachment to, hopefully, get around Patreon's compression. PDF included as well, if you prefer that, let me know and I will keep it, otherwise I might stop posting it if their are formatting issues.

Book 2: Chapter 21

This is chapter 21 of the story (both images are the same text). As per a comment last week, I have also included a thinner version of the same image to hopefully be easier to read for mobile users. I have also included the chapter as a pdf. Let me know what your preferred format is and if you have another specific format in mind that would be easier for you, let me know and I'll see what I can do. Otherwise, if this is still not good enough/easy enough to read on mobile, let me know and I ca...
