Chapter 51: The Unworthy.
The Hollow.
Elias Black.
“So… what’s got your panties in a bunch, Rias?” I asked the gorgeous redhead seated across from me at the tea table.
The rest of the devils had already left, but I’d asked Rias and her peerage to stay after seeing how damn conflicted she’d looked all night. Seekvaira had taken off with Alivian, but she promised to text me soon ab...

I don’t know why I’m having so much trouble writing this fic lately… I think this chapter took me almost as long as one of the big ones from Celestial Ascendancy.
I’ll probably plan things out a bit more before continuing, see if that helps. Since I only update this once a week, it hopefully won’t be too noticeable, but I’ll keep you guys posted if anything changes.
As for the chapter… well, thin...

Chapter 50: The Dinner.
Hogwarts.
Elias Black.
We had barely managed to finish everything on time… but it was worth it.
I smiled as I watched my girls chatting and laughing after such a chaotic night. Just seeing them like this made every single injury more than worth it. Their smiles warmed my heart in a way nothing else ever could.
Strolling over to their little group, I grinned an...

Chapter 49: The World Stirs.
Hogwarts.
Elias Black.
Groaning softly as I came awake, I rubbed my eyes, feeling a strange sense of ‘something is wrong’ lingering in my mind. It was difficult to place, but it fully snapped me out of sleep as soon as I realized it.
I glanced down to see Iris snoring softly, adorably sprawled over me, her body warmth was something I had grown used to in these past mo...

Hey guys, we're here with the final chapter of the week! Hope you enjoy it.
It’s a bit shorter than usual, but honestly, it was needed... I was getting tired trying to keep up with the schedule I set for myself. But whatever, we'll see how the future treats me.
Like I said in the message, the next chapter will focus on other POVs, like what Walburga and Voldemort are thinking after the graveyard, and more importantly, what th...

Chapter 47: The Aftermath.
Little Hangleton.
Elias Black.
I grinned tiredly, feeling Ash’s teleportation for the first time in my life. It felt warm and welcoming in a way that was hard to explain.
"Hold on, old man," I murmured to Dumbledore, already healing him to the best of my ability. He was in genuinely bad shape, and... my healing magic didn’t work that well agai...
2025-04-26 09:38:44 +0000 UTC View PostHere’s the poll I mentioned earlier. As some of you know, I ran into an issue last night regarding a specific chapter. Thankfully, everything’s been resolved now, but I’m sure you can guess what kind of content caused the problem.
To avoid running into the same issue again (and to protect the account), I want to hear your thoughts on how we should move forward. Some changes are definitely necessary, but I’d really like us to grow through this together as a community. 2025-04-24 07:10:58 +0000 UTC View Post
Author’s Note:
Hey guys, sorry about the short chapter. I just wasn’t feeling it today. After the flag, I kind of panicked and ended up feeling off for most of the day. Hopefully my muse kicks back in for Celestial Ascendancy over the weekend.
I already have the next chapter and a half outlined, so it should be a bit easier to write than this one was.
Thanks for your understanding. I’ll be posting the edited chapter right after this, along with a...

Chapter 45: The Rebirth.
Hogwarts.
Elias Black.
I glared at the grotesque thing blocking my path. I didn’t even know how to begin describing it. It… looked like a humanoid… at least in some way, but now it was warped beyond recognition.
Its eyes were glassy, a dull silvery color that just felt wrong. The body was almost the same height as Dumbledore, and the ...

Chapter 8: The First Night Out.
Cephalon Ordis.
Brockton Bay.
It was a strange chain of events that led Ordis to where he was now. But after centuries of serving as an aid to the Tennos, he had learned to expect the unexpected, and even when you didn’t, to roll with it anyway.
Being a Cephalon was… hard work. Thankless, too, in Ordis’s personal opinion. But he loved it.

Next day.
I couldn’t help the wide grin spreading across my face as I walked hand-in-hand with the girls out of the common room.
We didn’t have much planned for the day. None of our devil friends could visit, which was a shame... I’d been getting pretty close to all of them, and time was run...

I probably shouldn’t have written this on my mom’s birthday. The hospital scene hit me harder than I expected. I’m a pretty sensitive person, so that might’ve amplified the reaction, but damn… it felt way too close. It hurt. I had to stop for a bit before I could keep going.
Anyway, I hope you all enjoyed this chapter, my guys. Let me know what you think in the comments!

"Thanks for trusting us, love," Iris whispered while I focused on healing the burn across her ribs. Hermione had already gone first; her injuries were lighter, but I hadn't taken any chances.
They’d wanted to test themselves in the Elemental Hall, and while my first instinct was to say no, to shield them from danger, t...

Closing my eyes, I took a deep breath before starting the simulation.

I helped where I could, mostly lifting heavy stuff and staying out of...

Can't wait until I save enough for a new one. It's almost impossible to write without the thing freezing. I hoped that by resetting it the problems would go away but it appears I was wrong. I had to finish with my Mom's laptop.
So yeah, sorry for the delay. Not my fault this time. I should be able to buy one for the end ...
Hey everyone — just a quick heads-up for both new and returning patrons.
Patreon has made it possible to subscribe through iOS again, which is great for accessibility! That said, there are a couple of things worth knowing:
Apple applies an additional fee to all iOS-based subscriptions, which increases the tier price by about 30%. On top of that, payments made through iOS take significantly longer to reach creators, usually around 75 days. Which is insane, considering this is a m...

“Good morning to you, Miss Skeeter,” I smiled at the bound woman. Her wrists were tightly secured with the rope Arcturus had told Sirius to give me before we left Grimmauld Place. A nasty little thing, honestly. It's not my style, but I couldn’t deny its effectiveness.

Waving at Seekvaira and Alivian as they left, I sighed in relief. My devilish friend had been more than a little unnerved by the pace of my improvement, so it was no surprise that she’d been a little scattered during her short visit after the spar.
Alivian, too, had been intrigued—but one thing I quickly learned durin...
2025-03-19 11:37:48 +0000 UTC View PostJust a quick clarification regarding Elias’s current power level.
Right now, Elias is High-Class, and to put it into perspective, he is slightly stronger than Rias and Sona in raw ability. However, that doesn’t guarantee a win, especially against Sona, who excels in tactics. Rias would likely lose unless she lands a direct hit with the PoD, but that’s her hax, so it’s expected. Sona would lose 1v1 ...

Also, I know that before he destroyed the remains of Seekvaira demostrations. Not the whole mountain. So yeah, he is stronger than in that chapter, but he still has room to grow more. He needs worthy opponents for that, which will come with Seekvaira for magic and Alivian for fist fights.
