Isaiah
Isaiah didn’t like the marks which had formed on his spear. It was only a G rank Rare grade artifact, nowhere near strong enough for his current level of power, but he couldn’t bring himself to change weapons.
The spear was all he had left of Varick, and it was the only present he’d ever received.
Isaiah had started training by himself when he was five. Mostly left alone in the Gale Clan, his older brother had been his idol, and Raven had trained every day in th...

“Aaah!” Mila screamed as she fell down on the platform hidden in the desert cave, trying desperately to move her qi to stop the bleeding of her left arm as she activated her Law Larva of The Healer, empowering her qi as much as possible.
Everything had been going so well.
Using the information she’d gathered from Omalia, she’d created the perfect identity to trick the Kingdom of Night’s princess. She’d acted slovenly to lower the subconscious impression her ...

Silveea
Silveea was sure she’d made the right choice immediately after their first battle with the Life Tree Empire.
There had only been one general among the elf forces around the inheritance, an archer with an excellent life element detection skill capable of easily noticing her or any of the two thousand assassins she’d brought to the inheritance site, but Havina used her illusions to take on the form of an elf and, while the forces of the Kingdom of Night started a frontal...

Silveea Night was starting to grow worried. The Gale Clan’s third general had chased an elf into their camp, but the elf had somehow slipped away and that night the Gale Clan’s second general had disappeared. The general knew about their plans to start a war and it was very risky if the Life Tree Empire’s forces found out, but so far there were no movements from the elves. Gorin Lorok had even gone along with the Gale Clan’s young clan mistress to ask the elves about the...

“The System only helps with cultivation. It makes things easier by granting energy, skills, and artifacts as rewards. It allows cultivators to know themselves better through being able to see their status. And it makes advancement easier through helping ease the process of increasing in rank. But cultivation existed long before the System and there are many manuals in existence which, by themselves, could allow a cultivator to reach A rank.

Omalia became even more terrified than previously, but her emotions quickly stabilized as she realized the woman in front of her would actually be less likely to kill her after finding out her family was willing to betray the Gale Clan, not more.
“Yes. My family has betrayed our clan.”

Mila waited for the dead of night and then started moving. She’d figured out the camp layout during the day, and she knew where the tents of the leaders were, so she headed to the tent of the general furthest away from Isaiah’s, the tent housing Omalia Gale, niece of the Gale Clan leader.
From the conversations she’d overheard, she knew Omalia and the clan leader’s twins leading the invasion were not perfectly aligned, so she had an idea on the best way to get the inf...

From her brief observations of the Gale Clan while running through their base, Mila noticed a few things. One, the clan was very hierarchal. Those with greenish blond hair and yellow eyes were like nobles among the masses, likely true descendants of the clan, but they only made up around an eighth of the force. Two, the Pink Ursa was truly an outlier, looking Caucasian while pretty much everyone else had features common in South Asia on Earth. Finally, three, they were...

“Of the eight other invasion forces, I only know of five. First is the Amoranth royal family from the Amoranth Kingdom. They’re the enemy of the Kingdom of Night and their relationship is worse than that of the relationship between the Gale and Flare Clans. I don’t know much about who they sent but their force s...

When Mila arrived in the area where the cave was supposed to be, the situation was quite a bit different than she’d expected.
The land for kilometers around was flat, just plains and forests, with very little even in the way of hills, and the cave entrance was in the middle of a forest. From what she’d learned from the beastmen she’d questioned, the rebels hadn’t built much infrastructure around it before the integration, hoping to keep it hidden, but tha...

It took the rebel leader about two weeks after being given the seal to get every single cultivator in the region under a contract. And this was no simple feat as it required Mila to generate 100 plus contracts per minute near the end.
The visible feedback response she’d added to allow the leader to see when cultivators accepted the contracts had increased the mana expenditure for creating the contracts by nearly 25%, and sending the energy through the seal was not without c...

A soul could only accept so many contracts and that amount was determined by the strength of the contracts and the value of the Soul stat. But there was a very easy trick to make an almost unlimited amount. Just don’t bind yourself.
It was relatively simple, as all you had to do was make contracts where all the terms limited only the other party, but in practice it was difficult. People would pretty much only agree to that type of contract when the alternative was death or ...

There was a reason Aura was generally considered the third most valuable stat, behind only Luck and Attunement.
Luck affected how the universe saw a cultivator. It wouldn’t summon a bigger fish to eat a monster already trying to kill you. It wouldn’t get you out of a prison you stupidly got yourself thrown in. In fact, it generally didn’t have any effect on anything with a Mental Forge.
What it did do was twofold. It gave a cultivator a passive treasure detection ...

There was one big advantage to having Aalam unconscious: he wasn’t using his own resources. Aalam’s resources were more abundant than hers, as they had the same soulstructures while every single one of his stats was higher, and, as he was in his own Territory, his regeneration rate was more than double her own.
She couldn’t take his resources without his permission, but, with their stronger bond, she could take the excess resources generated by his regenera...

First, he tried to vomit, but, as he’d never eaten anything in his new body, nothing came out. Next, he started crying, holding his face in his hands, but Mila didn’t have the courage to hug him. A...

Staying ahead of the beastmen had been tough for Mila, and, had Aalam not been out of the cave practicing with his new powers nearby, they would have caught and killed Roland and the others.
Each of the beastmen had a heightened sense of smell, and she didn’t have any magical ways to stop that type of sense. She also couldn’t have fought them on her own as, while none of them were quite as strong as Roland, through the sacrifice of hundreds of civilians they could each ma...

The Mistress of Oaths and Deception’s aura was calm and restrained as normal, but she’d been injured.

Still, given what type of monster she was, it was hard not to be at least somewhat affected by her, and Roland had to f...

Mila only had 2% left until full mastery of her Devil’s Contract skill. Previously it had been her most mastered, but there was no good way of training it without actually making contracts and she couldn’t just make and break contracts like crazy. She had an image to maintain.
It did help, however, that the Territory of New Raphaiya was growing, as she made a new contract with every cultivator who came, but the growing nature of the Territory was also a problem.
