“I can’t believe it.” Elrhain muttered, “All-purpose poop.”
“We only found three, no, four purposes though.” Agwyn tilted her head. She leaned back onto the tholus wall using a sleeping Yip as a cushion. The fish gremlin squeaked but didn’t wake up. In recent days, with vigorous experimentation, all three of them had learnt how to fall into a deep slumber like state that Agwyn forced Elrhain to reluctantly call as, ‘Semi-Sleep.’
Or sleep, for short. Ev...

Yip rebounded on the crater’s east edge like a bouncing ball, missiling towards the aliens once more. The two remaining foes did not stay still. The one flaring red hissed, and a spectral screech rang out throughout the area. At the same time, its tentacles rotated behind it like chainsaws.
The other creature opened its maw in Yip’s direction and fired off projectiles shaded black and azure.
“Yu!”
The bullets ricocheted off Yip’s rolling surface, but Yip’s trajec...

It was as though a switch had been turned on. Elrhain felt a part of him go inside the Spire to connect with… another him.
This other him… lived inside the Gladys Spire’s virtual world, using the terminal as a window to gaze outside. And thus he saw the terminal’s prompt,
[Administration Point <Gladys Spire> (Provisional) Activated]
like a system message in a virtual reality game, even though he was no longer standing in front of it wi...

My mental has become way better since I started going to the gym last week. Went to the doctor and he gave me all clear in physical activities. Which I think is giving me the motivation to get back into writing again.
I started editing a few of my already written chapters and started enjoying the process. Hopefully, I'll post a few good chapters this week.
On another note, would any of you be up for helping me manage a wiki? I usually copy-paste newly revealed info into another sh...

Gasp!
Agwyn fell down, clasping her chest.
“E-Ellie!”
Elrhain collapsed next to her with a thud. Agwyn paled, then ignored her own nausea and supported his body with her petite shoulder.
His face was flushed red and his eyes were wide open as he stared at her. Shock, horror, anguish… loathing. But for whom? Why did he look so… guilty?
‘N-No way, did he see-‘
Elrhain kissed her. Deeply. Violently.
He embraced her with brawn Agwyn did not th...

Chapter 81 - Jealous Fantasies
The collective had modelled the checkpoint terminals in the Gigantomachy after retro touchpads but came with state-of-the-art computation units and security systems. From precise bio-informatics to behavioural analyses, the central AI of Gigantomachy powered by the quantum computer Alpha Logic used the terminals as spider-web hubs to monitor the monolithic vessel’s parameters. While the personnel used them as little more than security checkpoints, they w...

“Whoa there! Where’d you come from, little buddy?” Agwyn giggled as she caught the puffball.
“Yip!” The fish gremlin puffed and climbed up to Agwyn’s shoulders with its button paws before nudging her with its kitty snout. “Wu!”
It jumped down from Agwyn’s shoulder and scuttled out of the gangway. After a while, it noticed the two dhionne not following. So, it turned back, prodded Agwyn’s boots, and ran off again.
“Aww~,”
“Very intelligent.”<...

The pipsqueak was Agwyn. Elrhain groaned, then tried to push her away, but she kept crying and slathering his lab coat with tears and snot.
She hugged him tight, wailing louder.
“There, there. It’s okay.” Elrhain gave in and patted Agwyn’s quivering shoulders. His girlfriend, like him, was no longer in her toddler body.
She still had dhionne features. Leafy-long blue hair, chalk-white skin with floral tattoos, her violet blush, and big lilac eyes glossy with water. A...

The crystal blue spire spiralling above the chasm of darkness reflected in Cyra’s eyes as she sat on the precipice of the underground cliff. It was much identical to the obsidian spire above the loch Sagathan temple in form and shape but made of crystalline Sagathan lamps instead of obsidian ore. It was also inverted, with the pointy end aiming downward and a broader ‘base’ at the top.
The blue matter inside the monolith flowed like lake waves without breaking the spire’s form t...

In the golden plains at the heart of Uorys diosca stood a giant edifice larger than most mountains. It sprawled upward in spires and peaks. From west to east and north to south ran many roads. The dhionne walked like tiny ants as seen from the Impelakt, Valamic Getica Yuriel’s eyes.
He stood atop the tallest tower, overlooking the only city of its kind on the disc. And it was a proper city, the heartland of the Yuriel Impelakty, unlike the poor imitations of the Diuvakties and ramshac...

Reconer Galina had no regret even as she watched her body wither away. At her feet lay the unmoving form of the Siaglas boy. In front, the twisted maw of the faediaga eldress.
But the enraged and now childless beast passed through her body as though Galina was a mirage. This was [Spectral Sacrifice].
The Impelakt had foreseen that pure destructive power, even at the sky realmer level, could not break through the Earthloch defences. So he had granted her this spell that morphed her...

“Eeeek!” Witch Alorakana squealed as another rat was crushed to meat paste before her eyes. The swarm of vermin was unending, and their dead remains steadily piled up around the barrier. It worried Elrhain that these rats also came from the tunnel behind them.
The boy scoffed, tempted to get back at Alorakana for bullying Agwyn when she was such a coward. But the occasion wasn’t one for get-backs. It was best not to agitate adults when their life was in peril.f

Cyra responded in a blink. Elrhain saw a burst of water, and the faediaga eldress was standing in front of the group with wary eyes.
Glistening blue manna from her body permeated throughout the cavern. Part of it turned into tendrils that crisscrossed in open space. It filled the whole cavern like molecular threads, ready to ensnare and dismember any foe that appeared.
The rest gathered around the children in a half-spherical barrier, rotating gently. Cyra’s eyes didn’t move f...

I have made a few glossaries on Reddit. I am linking them here. They contain information on all characters, terms you might need to know, nobility, geography, cultivation matters etc. Since I went on such a long Hiatus, you might have forgotten what the terms even mean or who the characters are. The glossaries should help with that.
Elrhain walked down the stone cavern holding Agwyn’s hand. The floor was slippery, with teal moss growing on every surface. Water ran in streams in the cracks, helping the moss extend its reach into the walkway.
Earlier, they had rejected Cyra when she offered to carry them like always. Agwyn wanted to move their bodies, and Elrhain wouldn’t say no. Cyra sulked to no effect.
The other cousins were busy chatting this and that. About the attacks yesterday. How the clan was on it...

「I bet that dhionne have anti-insanity modules in their brains. They can cheerily spend their long-ass lives living the same way every day. 」 Elrhain sighed. Whatever that brain module was, he and Agwyn obviously lacked it.
Each cycle was ten years. By the time Elrhain would be a teenager here, he would have lived twice as long as he had on Earth. Which is absolutely crazy.
Elrhain’s soul was human. Human souls weren’t meant to take that long to be bloody teenagers. The se...

Second, this is the new chapter 71. The previous one would take the story in another detour which I opted to forgo. After thinking about it for the last two months, I decided to hasten the pace (to the best of my abilities). This chapter directly continues after chapter 70....

I paused it since my exam will end on January 10th. I don't think it would be fair to bill my patrons when I can't promise to deliver chapters consistently.
Thank you for your patience.

I have written 8 chapters of this month. Editing is left (and I will release them) but I realized that because of the pressure of irl studies, I might not have the same chance in December.
So I paused the December payment cycle. In other words, you will not be charged the next month.

The dragon roared, the air around her trembling in force and fear. Cerulean water and violet mist rose around her massive form as she flew out of the mountainside, chasing after the interloper.
Her wyvern head adorned a crown of amethyst and sapphires. Her wings glowed like shattered mirrors, and her body flooded the sky in a serpentine shadow.
The vine-bearded man, now sitting on the back of a black-winged lion, threw out one magic spell after another to no avail. The tiny fireba...

Anouk didn’t miss the chance. The watch captain ignored his bleeding right hand and threw the dagger into the centre of the crater with a sonic boom.
The woman blocked with her gauntlet, but the dagger cleaved straight through and pierced her chest.
No!

The Out-tribals settled in the outskirts of Lochuir. Not directly by the borders of the inner and outer circles, but about an hour or two Alleigh-ride away compared to native Earthlochian villages.
"Can’t they live any closer to the township?” Asked Elrhain. He pointed at the few lake-side cliff-hanging villages. They were strewn about unplanned, and he couldn’t see where one village ended and another began.
But the village centres were easy to spot. Bustling cores of areas ...
