Not a chapter! But I wanted to show this story concept off and wanted to ask for some thoughts. It's a small prologue for a story I am thinking of writing after Mark of Time is done. Here it is!
Synopsis:
Avlon’s chosen. Blessed warriors and Essence practitioners who had armors of metal, carbon-steel and nanomachines that bent to their whims and bolstered their Mystic Arts.
Drevon could never be one. Born with a Null root, and unable to even touch upon Es...

With a crash, the rocks covering the entrance crumbled from the snake’s strike. The large beast made its way through the area, snapping at the slimes as it flicked its tail. Whenever the end struck one, the slimes would pop like overripe berries.
Jennifer watched from the gap of her crack, mentally going through her plan once more. It was going to be r...

The illuminated walls of the dungeon shone with their typical blue glow, pouring out mana that spread through the cavernous first layer of the dungeon. Jennifer kept a dagger in her hand, feeling less afraid after shaking off her initial hesitation.

Glass shards twirled around Jennifer’s hand, bending and twisting to form beautiful crystals that refracted light into multiple colors. She held one in her hand, playing with it. She nudged the composition of the glass shard to have different colors shining through its...

There had been multiple choices in front of Jennifer. She could’ve waited for a while till whatever combat test had been happening was concluded, before asking for her own test. It would likely have given her something more reasonable to work with rather than the shiel...

Today's chapter will be slightly delayed. I'll upload it on Monday along side another chapter to make up for last week's missing chapter upload.
Really sorry about the sporadic uploads. Exams weeks are quite rough :/
My last exam is on 8th May, which is Sunday, after which I'll be home so uploads should go back to normal by that point.

A/N: This chapter was difficult to write. At first I thought it would only be 3,000 words, but it somehow kept growing and growing untill it got all the way to 5,000. I'm not sure if I did this one chapter right, and I may redo it and change some things, do let me know what you think.

Jennifer walked through the streets of Lienmont, trying to dodge the burning rays of the midday sun that showered upon her with vengeance. The city itself was in the central plains of Zweiril, but she often felt the climate not much better than the southern deserts in how warm it got during the summer months.
She walked, goin...

I got some art! I can't believe it took me this long before I got some. She looks... not much like how I envision her, but this image also sorta grew on me. Behold, anime MC Jenn!
Also, if anyone would be kind enough to leave a review on RR I'd really appreciate that. The story is on Rising stars, and any reviews and so on would help push it on the list.

I'm finally moving out to my college tomorrow, and it's been a crazy busy week. Chapters should be posted as normal, but catching up to the 10 chapter ahead for the gold tier may take a couple extra weeks. I'll try my best, I've got the next few chapters ready but there needs to be a few extra chapters that need to be added in between and I can't say if I'll get the time to write more than one in the next week.
The story is also on Rising stars! So if anyone would like to leave ...

Mark of Time — Truth Seeker's new name — will be released on RR by March 1st, at worst within the first week of March. I've got enough chapters setup and I've come up with all the plans so I'll be finally re-releasing the story!
But, to do that, I also need to edit all the current chapters and add roughly anywhere from 3-4 chapters in the already existing number of chapters as some of the plot has been changed, and events progress differently.
So, sadly, there won't b...

I've made a table of contents for easy access of the chapters. The story has also been renamed to "Mark of Time" and the chapters are now in the range of 5,000 to 8,000 words.
Table of Contents:
15 — Scampi Tails
14 — Hidden Clues

So, after quite some thinking, I've decided to make a change to the current chapters, notably their length, and how often I'll be uploading them.
Previous chapters, (the 25 of them that're here right now) will be combined into larger chapters of around 5k to 7k words from the previous 2k to 3k words. The chapter count, as such, will be going down to 14 chapters.
I also need to make some few edits to the earlier chapters for the sectioning off to make sense. And so I'll be ...

Irwys SIlveran was in a bad mood. A frequent occurrence, ever since he’d met the new Mark. The [Royal Knight] walked through the guild pathways, keeping his frown in check as he passed by the dozens of adventurers that crowded every inch of the guild in recent days. He’d failed ...

Magic flowed through Jennifer’s hands in a steady, pulsating rhythm. She ran her crystal across the shimmering shield, tracing the etchings carved within it with lines of mana. It was a delicate process, with even the slightest of mistakes resulting in a wasted enchantment. She held her breath tight, carefully inscribing the last rune—
“Come ‘ere lass!” her Master roared from ...
