The Heavenly Demon woke up, opening his red eyes the next morning.
He slowly walked out of his bed and stretched.
Despite the nanobots still being present, the rest of his body had been almost fully healed from the exhaustion and damage he received...

This time, I didn’t see any visions when I touched the stone; it seems the two beasts share the same vision and background. However, I am fairly sure of this! While the first one was the Primordial Martial Beast of Yang, this is the Primordial Martial Beast of Yin!
I don’t know why I am even getting these gifted through the quests, but I am fairly sure they must be useful and strong, so I can’t really reject them. The Beast of Yang has already been really useful, and w...

Neheb had always lived his life behind the shadow of his big brother, someone much stronger, more talented, and more successful than he was. Despite his large physique and how he was physically talented at an early age, his older brother eventually bested him even in battles one-on-one through the ability to learn his patterns. The Pharaoh was an exceptional fighter, philosopher, mathematician, astrologer, scientist, and also a genius mechanic.
All the fields that the young ...

A new week began, and the college was bustling with students everywhere once more. Paul woke up rather groggily after he ended playing the game until late at night. However, there was nothing a good cup of coffee couldn’t solve.

He never really liked the flavor of coffee and still doesn’t, but he had learned that he had to drink it even if he didn’t like it; he had grown used to the bitter flavor.

This is for the recently finished arc of the world of Elios. We can see Peperina, Mursha, Fiery Hair, and Bing Xue in the back (channeling her new demonic powers).
Still WIP but the overall composition looks decent enough to finally show. I think this artist is pretty good, he made the girls just like I imagined them.

Before logging out, Paul wanted to lay out the work for the incoming days that he’ll be taking care of Elderbridge’s farms. Roughly eighty percent of these lands, which were once full of farms, had been abandoned after the soil started to lose its nutrients and most water sources dried out.
However, Paul was confident that he could completely change everything with the new Skills he had acquired. He would have actually been pleased with just the normal Farmer Class, but ...

Aswan, the ancient city of Swenett, later known as Syene, was, in antiquity, the frontier town of Ancient Egypt facing the south. According to many historians and archeologists, the city of Swenett is supposed to have derived its name from an Egyptian goddess with the same name.
The people of this city had just seen something unbelievable, from a giant golden pyramid hovering over their city and about to blast it all, to the massive monument being kicked away by a single wom...

“Well, you see, the Blazing Doppelganger Skill is pretty handy; they inherit a part of my Stats and can also use several of my Skills, they imitate my movements, dexterity, and everything else with almost 100% accuracy,” Paul explained. “So as long as I show them what to do, they’ll copy me and be able to reproduce it almost perfectly themselves.”

Wait, even when I was inside his Inner Realm, the Void Ruler could see me and send messages!
A train of thought like that just came to me as I was looking at the delicious Chinese food being served in front of me by the helpful little gray and black fox boy around here.
It looked slightly like Chinese food, yes, but it still had many things that made it look different; for example, all the meats were of different creatures I had not seen before.

The man who had dared me to do that entire challenge just so I could be approved by his almighty standards. He was now flying towards me with a wide smile on his face. If it wasn’t because he had the face of a crow, and I found birds quite cute, I would have been a bit creeped out.

Vlad coughed some blood but felt his health rapidly healing thanks to his regeneration as a vampire, which acted as a passive healing ability that probably no other race had.

Suddenly, and in front of everyone, Hekita did something completely out of our minds. After she touched the slowly regenerating Anubis, she activated her Spirit Creation Ability and that… somehow helped her not only repair Anubis but change it somehow.
It felt strange, as if Anubis had been injected with new magical and spiritual powers. Hekita’s ability supposedly helped her create Spirits, but these Spirits aren’t permanent; they disappe...

The result of Shamir’s Soul Artifact Fusion, the combination of existing Soul Artifacts into new forms and shapes.

Much more power.
