Behold!
Anw sorry for the delay. Work stress isn’t fun. It sometimes just kills my will to write.
Happy reading!

Something I was initially reluctant to even touch. Not out of fear that I’d blow myself up or lose a claw, but because, frankly, there were two annoyingly practical reasons not to bother...
2025-11-07 00:35:59 +0000 UTC View PostThe roar outside was downright thunderous. It was an ocean of noise crashing even through the stone walls of the chamber I was in. Though this hall was tucked deep within the participants’ quarters, separated from the Colosseum’s grounds by a single winding tunnel, I could still feel the crowd’s collective pulse pressing in from afar. The sheer density of excitement out there carried a kind of physical weight, something that even my Air Sense struggled to fully grasp.
I s...
2025-11-03 00:30:02 +0000 UTC View PostI stared at the swirling potion bottle in my hands, the liquid inside twisting like it had a mind of its own. Then, with a flick of my wrist, I tossed it upward, only for it to vanish midair. My gaze dropped to the golden ring on my finger, and sure enough, I could feel the bottle settling neatly inside.
Finally. FINALLY! My very own storage ring. These little things were absurdly convenient, almost unfairly so, but in Varkaigrad, they were rarer than honest house heads. Even nobles had...
2025-10-30 02:30:02 +0000 UTC View PostThe engine of action could be instinct or will. On the surface, the difference was plain as day. Instinct was a birthright, a seed planted by nature itself. Will, however, was a graft, its growth shaped by a thousand different winds and weathers. And yet, they were two vines from the same root. Action born of instinct was guided by an inborn compass; the same deed, born of will, was steered by a map painstakingly drawn.
If Alice were to name the current stirring within her, it would be ...
2025-10-25 02:30:03 +0000 UTC View Post[Sorry for the chapter delay! I had to make a few small changes... which kinda snowballed into a full rewrite. Welp. It also ended up way longer than planned, so I had to split it into two parts. As an apology, I’m working on some new epic artworks... I’ll drop them with the next chapter. Perhaps. Anw happy reading!]
Ah, the blissful benediction of not knowing the sea that ripples beneath every mind. Tristan d’Ondelys called them blessed, for that is precisely what they wer...
2025-10-21 03:00:06 +0000 UTC View PostI didn’t care much for the sudden spectacle, not even with my Fire Gland mutating on its own like some restless organ trying to evolve out of spite. Shoving down the discomfort crawling under my scales, I dug a claw into my palm, pierced the skin, and slammed my bloodied hand into the Dragonfire. The instant my blood met the flames, they flared into a harsher, almost blinding rainbow blaze before dimming back to their usual infernal calm. An electric surge rushed through me. A conn...
2025-10-16 02:00:06 +0000 UTC View PostWell, it seems Lysska’s cautious nature finally proved its worth. Not that I’m any stranger to caution myself. But to think there was an actual Gold here— one deliberately smothering her core, pretending to be harmless just to lull everyone into comfort before pulling a vanish-and-slaughter move… that was a touch dramatic.
I wouldn’t have fallen for it though. I don’t rely on checking cores to decide who’s dangerous. Ever since my evolution, something deeper took ...
2025-10-13 02:00:05 +0000 UTC View Post“Ahh, the moonlight… so radiant tonight! Look how it washes this garden in that silvery hue. Everything takes on such quiet splendor when the world turns nocturnal. Night truly is beautiful, wouldn’t you agree?”
Once again, the same feminine voice drifted into Levko’s ears. And, just like before, he nodded in agreement. She was… different from what the rumors painted her to be. He could hardly believe that the drakkari woman standing before him was actually a Gold Core culti...
2025-10-09 01:40:00 +0000 UTC View Post[Not professional artwork or anything, just something I ended up doodling while definitely not editing this chapter. Started with one sketch, somehow ended up with three.
Behold: Alder the owlcat.
I think I actually nailed how I pictured him in my head.
Then there’s chibi Jade. Ignore the burger.
[Beefy chapter today! Enjoy!]
“Are you sure you don’t want to talk with them?” Lotte’s singsong voice resonated in my head, her enormous draconic muzzle resting lazily on a mountain like it was a sofa meant for titans.
“Well… not exactly sure if I do. Pulling them here would lock them in real-time suspension, and if they’re in the middle of a mission that would screw them over. Damn it, I should have set up some kind of schedule, at least weekends or something, where...
2025-10-01 00:30:02 +0000 UTC View Post[Anyways, I did see some people mentioning(complaining about(?)) the abrupt transition in the last chapter and the skipped reunion scene. Honestly that was a wall I ran into myself without thinking it through. Since two weeks had already passed in the interludes, I couldn’t find a natural way to slot that scene back in without it turning into a flashback. And flashbacks, well… they tend to slow things down. So instead, I decided to leave that meeting off-screen and keep what happened a se...
2025-09-27 02:00:08 +0000 UTC View PostHigh Intelligence. One of my stats that almost felt… like a bad inside joke. By definition, high intelligence should mean razor-sharp thinking, insight bordering on genius, maybe the sort of stuff where you instantly spot patterns others miss, or recall knowledge with textbook accuracy, or speak like a philosopher who swallowed a dictionary. But none of that had ever happened to me. Well… maybe the textbook recall part, to an extent.
Despite the number being what it was, I didn’t ...
2025-09-23 00:30:01 +0000 UTC View Post[One more interlude before Jade takes the wheel again. Thought about putting it later, but that would’ve dulled the impact. decision making was hard so I just flipped a coin. Interlude won. Also, I might be feeling better? I think. Question mark. Anyway, happy reading!]
How does one even begin to grasp existence? Is it the sudden rush of life at birth, a scattered collage of half-remembered days, a mosaic of moments that fit together only when looked at from a d...
2025-09-20 01:30:03 +0000 UTC View PostAlice once again peered through the eyes of the body she was hitching a ride in, the stranger whose vision she wore like a borrowed mask. Her true self, however, was perched atop her host’s shoulders, still as a doll. The pristine white dress she favored rippled faintly with the air, and her porcelain face was veiled by a strip of runic cloth stitched with threads of gold.
Invisible to the crowd, as was only proper. Stranger, though, perhaps that word was misleading. Sara hardly quali...
2025-09-16 01:40:01 +0000 UTC View Post[Sorry for the delay! turns out running a burning fever makes both thinking and writing harder (who knew?) anw am still not back to normal, but at least functional enough to push this chapter out. It’s a little rougher than I’d like (quality wise), so maybe future me will rewrite it when am not half-delirious.
Anyway, small timeskip incoming too! Jade’s heading into a mini training arc to sharpen her skills and technique. Next chapter will be on the beefier side, plus there’ll b...
2025-09-11 02:00:05 +0000 UTC View PostDvina snarled as she stormed into the warehouse, kicking the doors wide enough for the hinges to regret existing. Every enforcer inside now lay sprawled across the floor, breathing slow and steady. No wounds, no blood, no signs of a fight, just peaceful, almost blissful slumber.
She pushed deeper inside, scanning every corner. No sign of those unruly kids. No overturned crates, no splintered furniture, no scuffs on the floor. The place was as undisturbed as an untouched stage after the ...
2025-09-07 00:30:22 +0000 UTC View PostFailure… might as well be erased from the dictionary. What even counted as failure? For some, it was anything they could dress up with excuses, grand claims about how the universe had singled them out for misfortune, all despite their supposed “talent” to win.
Dvina never bought into that load of crap. It was the gospel of losers, mental gymnastics to justify why they’d fallen flat on their faces. That right there was the line in the sand separating Bloodhounds from the rest of ...
2025-09-04 01:30:03 +0000 UTC View PostJust wanted to give a quick update: I’m bumping the $9 memberships (Gaia's Daughter tier) up to $10 (This change will take effect next month, though it should already show up on the page.) Not a big change, but I wanted to announce it clearly.
Also, this will NOT affect any existing members, you’ll stay in the legacy tier. Only new joiners will start at the new price from next month. (Though if someone cancels and rejoins later, they’d have to pay the new rate, h...
2025-09-01 01:41:38 +0000 UTC View PostA subtle distortion shivered through the air, and a rock simply coalesced into existence on the grassy forest floor.
I scooped it up, studying its unremarkable surface with a frown. Before I could second-guess the process, I willed myself and the stone back into the shadow dimension, depositing it not on the familiar inky ground, but precisely within the darkened silhouette of a tree. I then stepped away, returning alone to the solid world.
Sure enough, the same phenomenon repeate...
2025-09-01 00:30:02 +0000 UTC View PostJulia’s face was knitted in fierce concentration… maybe a little too fierce, judging by the fine sheen of sweat on her brow and the deep creases forming around her eyes. It was clear the task demanded everything she had.
We stood in a strange, hybrid space: part alchemy lab, part archive. The air itself smelled of old parchment and sharp, ozonic potions. The only occupants were Julia, myself, and Inquisitor Agnes, who stood with her palm pressed firmly against Julia’s back.

2025-08-30 00:37:17 +0000 UTC View PostThere were plenty of things the passage of life could signify. In the end, it was a journey, sometimes uphill, sometimes straight into a pit. Some argued that the future was carved into stone the moment you took your first breath. And in a world where divinators could quite literally peek past the curtain of time, that idea didn’t sound entirely absurd. History had its share of prophets who claimed to have mapped the fates of thousands.
But… that’s where the contradiction gnawed a...
2025-08-28 00:30:01 +0000 UTC View PostWaking up to the sunbeams had its own kind of charm. Sure, I still missed my old perch in that cabin in the woods, the one by the window, perfect for curling up in, but I couldn’t deny this place had its own flavor of cozy. Different, but not bad.
Too bad curling up like a donut wasn’t on the menu today, not after what I’d seen last night.
“Oh, Clover~” Julia’s singsong voice floated over. “Not going to fake-sleep on me again, are you?” She smiled, and my gaze drop...
2025-08-26 00:43:52 +0000 UTC View PostA chorus of groans. Ahh, the sounds of pain, of rending flesh, of bones meeting their breaking point.
It felt almost like a game, the kind where you save the princess. Viper was the princess. They came at me like a bunch of overinflated balloons, I abandoned the rock analogy because rocks at least imply a threat of impact, a capacity for harm. These guys were utterly incapable of it.
So I worked my way through them. I didn’t kill them, though… as Viper had suggested. That didn...
2025-08-25 00:30:08 +0000 UTC View PostAlaric clutched his scorched arm as he bolted through the underbrush. Damn those thrice-blessed, self-righteous Inquisitors. First, this last-minute job on him, and then of all the unlucky hands he’s forced to cross paths with them. Still, the payout for all this agony was more than worth the price of admission.
For far too long, he’d been stuck rotting at Tier Three as a Fleshshifter under the Aspect of Morrow. Now they’d promised to begin his initiation into the organis...
2025-08-23 00:30:02 +0000 UTC View Post“Alright, let me get Null. We’ll need to head down to the lower district for this. I know a guy who works in exactly this sort of thing. Tried to skip town after stepping on the wrong set of toes, but Lysska bailed him out back then. Owes her big, so he’s loyal enough that we can trust him.” Viper nodded matter-of-factly.
Null who…? Before the thought finished, it clicked. Right. His shadowy salamander. I could sense the creature a couple chambers away, lurking there. Still, I...

“Clover! Get back down here this instant!” Julia hissed from the carriage window, but I tuned her out. She’d huff, puff, and eventually give up like always. Besides, I’d collect my bonus fee for this “trouble” later in the form of pilfered bacon and, with meticulous precision, exactly three separate occasions of depositing something slippery in her path to witness a most satisfying facial impact. Three times. Not ...

The system came with its own script, one he was still in the middle of learning.
