Sitting in a triangle on the floor of one of the castle’s bedrooms, Sofia, Pareth and Bookie stared at the system window.

2024-07-05 16:00:17 +0000 UTC View Post“What… What am I looking at?” Sofia mumbled, “This Dragon is why the admin went missing?”
The dragon in question was truly enormous, larger even than Erredis was, just looking up to catch a glimpse of the dragon’s limp head gave Sofia vertigo. His silvery gray scales reflected the black city like a million mirrors. The spire impaled said dragon from its hind to his neck, it looked less like it had been the killing blow and more like the corpse had been put there as a war tro...
2024-07-04 16:00:10 +0000 UTC View PostThe fall kept slowing down to the point that by the time Sofia and Bookie reached the level of the tallest spires, they were going down slow enough to try to look through the tall windows. The unsettling purple light they produced completely obscured the interior of the gigantic spires, but shifts in the luminosity seemed to hint at things moving on the inside, disturbing the light.
Despite that, the outdoors were completely devoid of any movement or life, and the city was deadly ...
2024-07-03 16:00:15 +0000 UTC View PostSofia, Pareth and Bookie advanced carefully through the cavernous formations of the weird place they had found themselves in, encountering nothing but more of the colorful snails crawling along the walls. Yet, every so often, they would hear strange noises that stopped them in their tracks. The atmosphere was tense, until Bookie’s intrusive thoughts won.
He stopped in front of one of the big snails.
“Say, Sofia. Do you think they taste good?”
“Wha- Bookie… Can you ...
2024-07-02 16:00:16 +0000 UTC View Post“Uncle?” Bookie repeated.
“This is the Deep. I’m almost certain. Just look at those big snails, they’re the same color as the parasites from Sun’s temple,” Sofia explained. Pareth nodded in approval.
“Then… Are we safe?” Bookie asked, huddling up closer to Sofia.
“Honestly? No idea. This could be the safest we’ve ever been, away from all the gods and all… Or this could be the worst thing to ever happen to us. So far, the snails aren’t paying us an...
2024-07-01 16:00:22 +0000 UTC View PostBut Mornn, you say, you feverish fool, you forgot to actually put the poll in the post!
Well, no, actually. This time, you all get to decide who the extra chapter will be about in the comments. Chose any character from the story, the character who gets the comment with the most likes will get a full length extra chapter in their pov / about them, depending on who.
Also you can nominate and vote for the Sofia + Astelia + Cinthia Q&A chapter that I promised a w...

Hi!
I know this is going against the plans I made before, but this is the final chapter before my break. I'm taking one extra day off because I got the good ol' covid yet again, and just writing this chapter took me twice the usual time (yay for fever).
This means next chapter will be on July 1st (｀• ω •´)b
Also, I really want to write an extra chapter, so one of july's first week's chapters will be replaced by an extra, but you guys will get to d...
2024-06-20 16:00:30 +0000 UTC View PostHonestly, this is starting to be a lot.
I’ve hit the breakpoint where I can channel an Angel’s bolt forever and keep my mana full…
I could also have the Erredian Rot constantly on. How stupid does that sound?
And four more skill slots is all I get. I’m guessing that my tree of spells thing is starting to be too full? The spells I’ve memorized that don’t take a slot still take up space… And I still have to Subclass coming? I might ...
2024-06-19 16:00:13 +0000 UTC View PostWhen Sofia came back to her senses again, she was floating in outer space near the Sun. Creation was waiting in front of her, observing her reaction, while Pareth was floating a bit further away.
Sofia took a deep breath. “Th- There’s air here?”
I made it. Clint casually said, still in his female form. So that you can communicate easier. We’re almost done, you alright?
“I’m a bit shaken… But I should be alright. I think.”
... 2024-06-18 16:12:04 +0000 UTC View PostCreation’s hammer twirled in his hand, he dispelled the mana shield around Sofia and called out to her.
Alright lassy, get naked, it’s your turn on the chopping block.
“E- Excuse me?”
Clint raised an eyebrow at Sofia’s confusion, What? I’m about to make you a new body, you think I can do that through your clothes? The only reason skelly-boy didn’t have to take his clothes off is because he didn’t have any to begin with.
Clint got up from his desk, shaking his head. Nope, no way. I can’t make it any better than it already is. The shape is a bit unusual but you’ll have to live with it. He said, putting Sofia’s mana heart back onto the stassis pedestal.
“Alright then. Time for Pareth to get his level up?” Sofia asked.
Guess so. We’re done with everything else. Hmm… Actually, it would be better if he could be in a skeleton more closely following the shape of his...

Hey! I was thinking of taking a week off to rest and play the Elden Ring DLC from June 21 to July 1st, but we're approaching the end of the arc, and that could make things awkward, so since I do not know how many chapters we have left exactly, what I'm going to do is
-If the arc ends before June 21 I'll finish the week off by writing extra chapters from another character's pov.
-If the arc is not over by June 21 I'll push my break back until the arc is over. 2024-06-13 16:00:11 +0000 UTC View Post
Before they even left the forge, Life agreed to trade one of her divine essences for everything Sofia had taken from the admins’ house, so Sofia started to bring the things out from her storage ring one by one.
The documents on the creation of the trial were first, along with all the electrical doodads Sofia had pilfered and the accessories like the Sun Compass, and no one really cared about those. Then she started taking out Anna’s stuff. The clothes, the shoes, and the one strand ...
2024-06-12 16:00:16 +0000 UTC View PostPareth’s signature skill was also designed by Sofia and Creation, as Pareth could hardly communicate anything. Either way, Sofia’s choice of hunting the Chimera in particular when choosing Pareth’s keystone had not been random. She had spotted four different creatures with Keystone imprints as she ranked up her heart, and knowing that ‘signature skill modifiers’ were a thing, she had specifically decided to hunt the three-headed beast.
Sofia couldn’t contain her smile as she...
2024-06-11 16:02:04 +0000 UTC View PostSofia wanted to answer Clint, but her concentration was disturbed by the sudden change in her body, it was starting to heal, and the fake bone body was hindering it. “aH, g- gIve Me a sEcOnd.”
Pareth, help! Sofia hastily dispelled her bone helmet, slid the admin’s dagger into her mouth to be sure she wouldn’t lose the effects of the title, and told Pareth to take off her face.
Pareth awkwardly grabbed Sofia’s face and pulled it off of her bone body, Sofia...
2024-06-10 16:00:15 +0000 UTC View PostSofia and Bookie silently observed the rot slowly consuming itself and everything in sight.
The Sunless’ mana usually disperse when they die… But it looks like the rot I spread before my demon transformation worked a bit too well.
Well. It should run out of mana in a bit… Surely… There won’t be anything left in the area but it’s not like anyone lives there.
Right?
Hopefully there wasn’t anyone around…
Out of now...
2024-06-07 16:00:16 +0000 UTC View PostSofia was strangely calm as she advanced on the back of the Nightbringer. The white stripe she followed meant there was only one way she could go, and she was so used to the casting time and velocity of the black lances that avoiding them in her demon form was almost too easy. It reminded her of the Alphageid’s tentacles, if anything it was a bit tougher in that she couldn’t step on the lances. She constantly scanned everywhere with her mana senses to try to find anything that stood out. ...
2024-06-06 16:00:11 +0000 UTC View PostSofia woke up in Pareth’s arms, near the altar. Bookie threw himself in her arms, “Sofia!”
Hey boys. Sorry about that. How long was I out this time? Sofia asked in her thoughts while stroking Bookie’s skull with her bone left hand.
“Almost a whole entire hour!” Bookie answered, a hint of worry in his voice.
Not too bad. My stamina is still errored out but I feel fine now. Let’s have a look at the heart.
Sofia stood up with difficulty, sh...
2024-06-05 16:00:19 +0000 UTC View PostThe large flying Sunless collided with the Engineer skeleton, and they broke through the tower’s ceiling, falling toward the altar. The ground under Sofia’s feet also broke and fell, but her ability to step on air kicked in at that moment, she watched the Sunless and the skeleton dive.
Bookie, send the book!
The book of skeletons appeared in Sofia’s left hand, unlike the usual, it was closed, Bookie was too busy to search for the page she wanted. Sofia opened it and...
2024-06-04 16:00:12 +0000 UTC View PostSofia did her best to analyze the situation while the Sunless slowly approached her first line of defense. She had anticipated a few things, but the current situation was worse than her planned worst case scenario. There were just too many of the advanced types of Sunless.
The Engineer skeleton climbed up to the top of the tower through a trapdoor, carrying a bunch of small colored flags made of torn cloth on bone sticks, Sofia acknowledged him with a nod before he quietly sat cross-leg...
2024-06-03 16:00:13 +0000 UTC View PostBookie observed the cards, “So we’re taking Reignited Ancestry once and then Infinity Engine twice?” he asked after taking time to think things through.
“Almost, we are doing it the other way around,” Sofia corrected, “Infinity engine twice first, because out of everything, the most important part to grab is the second level of it to cancel the [False Immortality] downside. The order only matters if we do not complete the third level, but considering h...
2024-05-31 16:00:18 +0000 UTC View PostSofia’s demon transformation ended while she was on her way back to the fortress, the demon body returned to bone, and the sudden shift made Sofia trip and fall face-first into the dirt. Pareth appeared right then and helped her up.
Sofia was too embarrassed to say anything, she let Pareth carry her to the altar.
The mana heart was floating above the altar, its appearance had changed somewhat, becoming a bit smoother and rounder, and the red of the Destroyer’s carapace from ab...
2024-05-30 16:05:53 +0000 UTC View PostAbout eight minutes after the start of the ritual, Sofia walked in the air as fast as [Dodge - me] allowed her to without switching stance, surrounded by a swarm of small Destroyer skulls ripping through the Sunless. The Drones all around were dying fast, consumed by a thick layer of rot. They were not too dangerous because their only attack with enough range to hit Sofia, the rain of black balls, would get completely deflected by [Dodge - me]. Stil...

2024-05-28 16:00:15 +0000 UTC View PostAfter Kyle told Sofia where to go and left, she opened the box and popped the mana pearl into her mouth.
“Uegh. Mines taste better.”
And having to chew on this without being able to swallow is… Urgh.
Sofia looked down at her bone body. With her clothes on, it did not look too far from the true thing on the outside, aside from it being quite rigid and made of bones, but the truth was that the only semi-functionnal thing inside were here manually-...
2024-05-27 16:00:39 +0000 UTC View PostThe woman let go off Creation’s head, and it snapped back to where it belonged as if nothing had ever happened. The she turned to Sofia.
Sofia guessed that the woman must be Moon, she was quite intimidating.
And you. The goddess said, staring at Sofia with her empty eyes.
“Y- yes?”
Thank you. She said with an emotionless voice before disappearing from the room.
Huh?
Sofia looked at Clint with a question...
2024-05-24 16:00:22 +0000 UTC View Post“Do I have a choice?” Sofia asked the human-looking God.
What? Don’t wanna come? Your mates are waiting for you, you know?
“My mates…”
Yeah, funny bunch those. Your sister’s already left, though, am already done with her. The horned one too.
Cinthia?
“... I’ll come. Just give me a minute to store all the bones,” Sofia told him as she turned around and started to separate the walls of the camp and the ...
2024-05-23 16:05:35 +0000 UTC View Post“AAA a a a aueughk-” Sofia’s voice cracked in the middle of her improvised vocalization exercise.
Crap… Manually controlling bone lungs to speak is harder than it sounded in my head. Getting there, though. This should be enough if I meet someone, but I might as well keep training as we go.
She turned to her skeletons, Pareth had downsized to the smallest he could go, putting him at almost the same size as Alith, and he was teaching Bookie how to properly avoid swo...
2024-05-22 15:59:15 +0000 UTC View PostThe ghostly sun’s black light darkened the spiritual realm. It looked exactly like the depiction of it in the admins’ house, a large black star with a shiny, crackled surface, and surrounded by lazily swaying dark flames.
It’s pulling on my soul. If I get any closer it will become hard to turn back. I might be stuck just like I was stuck on Cerberus Beta’s surface. Are you sure about this, Mr Scribe?
Right, can’t answer anymore because you need to mana...
