She is here…
I can sense her…
The Demon of Chaos, ruler of all Chaos craned his head towards the horizon where the sun was currently rising. He set his gaze on the dawn of a new day, and he quickly frowned because of what he sensed a moment later.
And she has changed drastically…
Amber had become more. That was the whole reason he had even been able to sense her in t...
2024-07-12 08:22:18 +0000 UTC View PostFrei was still in disbelief. Amber had received a Special Advancement. Or rather, it was better to say that she had achieved it. And while yes, Amber was extraordinary in all measures, getting a Special Advancement was the equivalent of getting into the hall of fame for magic. Except, given Amber was extraordinary, it was more like getting into the hall of fame and then doing it two more times.
That was how ridiculous the notion was, ...
2024-07-11 21:54:02 +0000 UTC View PostSorry for the delay, forgot to post it yesterday. Next chapter is about 2/3rds of the way written, so one of these days there'll be a double chapter day. Hopefully today.
Amber was still in a curtain of darkness. She was still in the immaterial void that was the Class Advancement room. Or whatever it actually was. She didn’t have time to ponder about things, because right now she was screaming in...
2024-07-10 17:36:09 +0000 UTC View PostAmber had a lot of things in mind going into this Class Advancement. After all, it was her level 200 advancement. At this point her level was high enough to be unrivaled in the entirety of Cytel except for the king itself. And she was quite sure that she was quite above average in the world as a whole.
And there were many other things. How would her progress affect her advancement? What should she expect? She had done a lot of thi...

2024-07-06 04:34:45 +0000 UTC View PostAmber coughed. Unfortunately, now wasn’t the time to take her advancements, as much as she wished to do so. That said, her body was an utter wreck. Her chest was throbbing in pain, it was as if she was having a heart attack but it was coming from her core. It had been so incredibly exerted that she felt that any use of Essence would actually crack it. Not only that but even though she was completely healed, the mental fatigue was something else. 2024-07-06 04:34:34 +0000 UTC View Post
Her consciousness was fading, there was a disconnect from her body as her entire head felt chilly. The back of her head and sides were banging against her skull, almost as if her brain wanted to break out— a head splitting headache that made it hard to think. And the world in her vision was spinning, blood was flying, and to top it all off, there were also loud and high pitched ringing sounds.
What happened?

2024-07-06 04:34:26 +0000 UTC View PostIn the end, getting out without one final confrontation is impossible.
That was the first thought that entered her mind. There was no way they would let them escape with the divine artifact without putting up a fight. And while Amber could give it back, she refused. She had a lot to learn from it, and considering the trouble she had gone through to get it, it was something she was going to keep no matter what.
Besides, it...
2024-07-06 04:34:20 +0000 UTC View PostAmber’s core took in the Essence from the kill, and now it seemed close to its next level up. While normally these news would’ve greatly excited her. After all, it meant that afterwards there would only be a Core Advancement left, and it also meant she would get a new Essence skill soon.
However, none of that mattered right now, because it wasn’t even in her mind.
She had greatly underestimated her opponent. 2024-07-05 19:05:09 +0000 UTC View Post
Frei was fed the potion as her eyes grew wide. It really was real. She had been saved by Amber, by the person she had chosen to serve. It was something that she never expected, because— why would she?
All her life she was a castaway, the people that loved her were gone, and Amber was a contractual relationship for her. She had no responsibility to meddle in her affairs, let alone save her l...

2024-07-04 18:31:32 +0000 UTC View PostAmber tried to back off, but the mental fatigue from it all was real. She simply stared at the Archmage who looked unimpressed.
“I thought that you’d be much harder to catch.”
“There’s been some developments,” Amber answered as Remmel drank another healing potion.
The assassin broke into a coughing fit as Amber eased the curses on him, yet the Archmage and his guards seemed to be standing there.

The people from the Saints of Truth looked collected, whereas the two members of the Arcane Council looked excitable. Especially the warrior, who was mainly oogling her.
And all this time Amber was using God’s Dynamo to the max, recovering her Essence gradually, which would take a total ...

2024-06-29 09:17:00 +0000 UTC View PostAmber had expected a lot of things, but not this. She had expected the Arcane Council to show up, even the Saints of Truth would’ve been more normal. But researchers from the Magic Association that were here to steal as well? She would’ve never expected that.

2024-06-27 16:34:09 +0000 UTC View PostAmber immediately headed to the Magic association even though it wasn’t even midnight yet. She had long grown familiar with the Sacred Forest, no longer needing Silvette to tour her around or to use her family name in order for her to gain access to things. Instead, the Dazdril family had given her a document that appointed her as their most trusted associate and mistreating her would be akin to mistreating the family.
In short: she had comp...
2024-06-27 02:56:18 +0000 UTC View PostAmber stared down at the ground inside the training room, there was a pool of blood at her feet. She stared at the tip of her fingers, at first it had been practically impossible to carve runes into her body given the fact that they would just heal nearly instantly. But she had finally figured out a way, with Cursed Creation; with it she could make the runes out of solid curse constructs.
However, that hadn’t been her breakthrough, nor had i...
2024-06-25 16:44:25 +0000 UTC View PostAmber spent about three days immersed in books, or as much as she could handle while also trying to meditate on the side. Her schedule consisted of about 14 hours of studying and 10 hours of meditation, forgoing sleep. Her core itself was about a third into its level up at this point, partly because of the meager Essence she got from the Saints of Truth and also because of the meditation she had done on the side during her travels and also since arriving....
2024-06-24 15:43:24 +0000 UTC View PostWhen she slept the sun hadn’t even set, and while she could have always gone back to sleep to see for how long she could continue sleeping, she didn’t. She was way past that point in life, and the answer was probably for weeks on end. So instead, she slowly woke up yawning, and turned to see Frei staring out of the window.
The sun had yet to rise, there was only moonlight coming in, and the elf seemed to have a complicated expression, one ...

Amber— No. Pretty much everyone was stunned. Asil seemed floored, his mouth agape as he stared at the open door. Cecile was looking at her with a ‘what the fuck did you do look’, and Frei simply stared at her in awe. Shocked at what she had just learned, and Amber herself had just paused.
Heretic? I freed a heretic? They mean Asil, right? Amber didn’t have qualms about fre...
2024-06-21 17:55:01 +0000 UTC View PostThe Sacred Forest was… lame. Or rather, it was just a forest, albeit it had very tall trees, so damn tall that it actually looked like it was night time inside of it. So needless to say it looked like a haunted forest rather than anything. The lighting that the carriage emitted was lugubrious as well, only allowing to see a few meters ahead, and the cabin itself was dimly lit.
“Say, you ain’t that excited,” Frei poked Amber. ...
2024-06-21 14:03:55 +0000 UTC View PostAmber felt excited for the fight that was about to happen. All that was left was for it to be arranged, considering there were so many people getting them on the same page would take some time, or so she thought.
Remmel raised his hand and began to speak at a surprisingly normal volume.
“Everyone,” he began, and seemingly they all turned to him. “Amber, the Hero of Cytel is here, and she will spar all of you at once. Every single o...
2024-06-20 15:31:47 +0000 UTC View PostHearing his name, Remmel craned his head in pain and barely met her gaze, his eyes widened.
“Amber? Agh…!”
And he grunted, the white staff digging into his body with a grotesque sound of bones breaking, interrupting the reunion. Meanwhile, the people in the surroundings were tense and unsure of what to do. All their levels however, seemed to be above level 100, interestingly enough.
“Huh, is he your friend?” F...

“Yep.” Frei nodded. “I’m going on a trip with my master ...
2024-06-18 16:51:02 +0000 UTC View PostAmber paused, and so did Asil though only for a moment before he scoffed and stood up.
“I’ll go get Cecile then.”
With those words, he exited the room, but Amber was just staring at the smiling mage in front of her. Frei, the elf she had recently met, and the member of the Arcane Council she had initially tried to escape. She was young looking, no older than early twenties, her features were sculpted and her hair was white, g...
2024-06-18 16:49:46 +0000 UTC View PostWhat happened?
Amber couldn’t remember, one moment she was blocking and the other there was just— blank. The enemy warrior of the Saints of Truth had been overwhelming; her strength being completely insignificant to his in comparison. It was such a large rift that she found it almost unfathomable, but it made sense.
With someone on Frei’s level, it only made sense. And it only went to illustrate just how strong the elv...

The Saints of Truth were here, and Amber couldn’t tell if they were here for her specifically or not— considering they dealt with curse related things; based on her understanding. It made sense that they were here because of the chimera, but it still didn’t make things any better. After all, the main guy immediately locked eyes with her, before finally turning back to Frei.
“D...
2024-06-16 04:18:52 +0000 UTC View PostFrei chuckled looming over the corpse of what had been the oh-so-damn-strong Junior Chimera. It hadn’t been a particularly hard battle, sure, she had gotten a few broken bones and, sure, she had gotten thrown away and gotten unscathed out of that. But all in all, it wasn’t a hard battle, curses were relatively pointless against her.
That said, she was still in very deep pain. All because of her Legacy Branch, which well essentially allowed...
2024-06-16 04:16:24 +0000 UTC View PostAmber blinked, too shocked by the opportunity to advance her core, but also by the circumstances unfolding before her very eyes. The man she had been trying to find out more information about; the man that had lived thousands of years ago was standing right before her very eyes; Ishtar, the Exiled Emperor of Arcase. And he was asking her a question.
Why do you chase after me? His voice rang inside Amber’s head for a moment, his golden eye...
