Chapter 598 - Neigh

Sofia and Alith looked at each other.

“Sounds about right,” Alith finally whispered with a chuckle.

“Yeah, same as usual, but at least we got a warning this time,” Sofia agreed, giving a sign for Pareth to proceed.

Pareth shrunk his size as much as possible to be a bit less visible, and ventured out, carefully avoiding to bump into anything or to step on the piles of moon sand. He carefully made his way out of the ruins of the building that the hall was once a part o...

Chapter 597 - Poking and prodding

“Man, you’re really… You’re starting to look like some sort of queen or something. Crown, cape, scepter, at this rate all you lack is the white horse,” Alith commented, seeing Sofia bring thing after thing out of her storage, “Do you really need all that?”

“Uh? It’s just my usual stuff? Though the ‘cape’ is new, I guess, but I’m not going to not wear a divine item, especially this one…”

“Ahah,” Alith laughed, “I’m not saying you shouldn’t wear...

Chapter 596 - Bury the Light

Erredis brought everyone to the dark side of the moon.

The hidden moon was right there. Much smaller and not so far away compared to the planet. It looked just like the regular moon, at first glance, unnaturally so.

“Is that it?” Alith asked, looking up, “It doesn’t look as dangerous as you said it was… Wait, no…”

“It’s the same,” Sofia said, turning toward Erredis, who was also looking up at the celestial body, “the same as this moon.”

“An Il...

Chapter 595 - No one can hear you scream

More lightning formed around Sofia, the bolt in her hand grew larger. She was not trying to do anything, but the sight of Pareth and Alith had triggered something. She needed to attack, to fight, and with a lack of enemies in sight, she instinctively turned to the other targets. She had the imperious need to destroy and kill, to massacre and devour. The divine lightning in her veins was steadily fading, and the avatar had only one goal, to survive, even for a second longer.

The avatar r...

Chapter 594 - Don’t let it get to your head

“Are you really sure this is fine?” Sofia asked Alith, her gaze switching from her to the blinding angel bolt silently pulsating in her hand.

Alith crossed her arms in front of her chest, “You really underestimate Dopple, Sof. I’d bet I’m better protected than you are.”

“Ahah… Can’t be helped, I haven’t seen you fight in forever, so…”

“Well let’s not talk about that though… You don’t want to see me fight. Ever since I got my specialisation it�...

Chapter 593 - Get forked

Author's note:

Hey hey! Happy new year!

I don't know what demon possessed me to decide that I was going to come back on January first, that was, obviously, a dire strategic mistake. But fear not, no mere hangover is going to stop me, so here's your chapter, enjoy :D

Sofia and Alith were having a relaxing picnic under the bone trees of Zangdar on the eve of their expedition. S...

Chapter 591 - Calm before the Sofia

Erredis sat down on one of her workshop’s tables, “I would take Odalite blood without even thinking if it were me, but you shouldn't let that influence you,” she told Sofia.

“So you do know about them? Or is the prospect of a new crafting material just that enticing?” Sofia asked.

“Both? Both. There isn’t much I know about the Odalites, that goes for pretty much everyone else, since they’re a race that went extinct during or at the end of the lost epoch. W...

Quick update

Hi, so quick news, I got my new eye meds yesterday, and huh, turns out the ophthalmologist wasn't lying when he said it's going to hurt a lot. So I wasn't able to write as I was struggling to even open my eyes yesterday. Good news is, second day of treatment is already more bearable, so this shouldn't be a perpetual world of pain (and that's good, because this is a 6 months treatment). Anyway, point is, the last two chapters before my break are a bit delayed. I'm hoping it'll get better enoug...

Chapter 590 - The slot crisis

Sofia played around with the flames for about a minute, noticing that what it burned and what it didn’t was pretty inconsistent, until she started to feel a strange pull, as if the essence cores in her chest were being held back by something.

The flames started to weaken and sputter.

“Running out of energy?” Alith asked.

“I have no idea. Maybe the energy of the divine essences is depleted?” Sofia guessed, there was no clear explanation for what was going on.

...

Chapter 589 - Fake it till you fake it

As if she had been doused in oil beforehand, Sofia immediately burst up in flames. The fire was violent and quite strong, but it seemed content to envelope Sofia’s body, not spreading anywhere else.

“Sofia… You good?” Alith asked, only mildly worried.

Sofia observed her hands through the flames, waving them around and watching how the fire reacted. “I am, yes. Doesn’t hurt at all, it barely feels hot, even, but it does hinder my vision a bit. It’s interesting how it ...

Chapter 588 - Unlimited Wood Works

Sofia was in the middle of the swamp, away from her city foundations and levelling pit, which were closer to the southern coast. She had dried up a large section here just by sparring with Saria with a piercing bolt as her sword. Here the swamp plants had died and the mud was dry and full of cracks. Standing there, Pareth and Bookie were waiting next to Sofia. Pareth seemed to actually be the one most excited to see how the spell was going to turn out.

“Alright, let’s see it. Gravey...

Chapter 587 - Bloody Hell

Sofia glanced at the evolution list for summon blood and she could barely believe her eyes.

Oh my fucking… Is this real?

Who would… How?

Why?!

Chapter 586 - Numbers go extra

Sofia and Speed chatted for about another hour before they left his divine domain and he carried her back to the swamp, where Saria began asking Sofia a thousand questions about the ‘date’ which had lasted almost a full day. Meanwhile Pareth was away with Bookie and the plant mage skeleton in the nearby Spirit forest in search of some plant, on Alith’s request.

When Saria finally gave Sofia a second to breathe, she checked her ring.

[Gluttony] : A ring from ...

Chapter 585 - The absolute limit

Foreign memories crept up in Sofia’s mind like a waking dream. She was in someone else’s body, looking through their eyes, but it was confuse, overwhelming. She understood nothing of what she saw, until, all of a sudden, it calmed down.

Sitting naked in the dirt, in the middle of nowhere, the person in the memories laughed, looking up at the blue sky.

Is this… The old Speed?

She could feel the person’s emotions, somewhat. Relief, excitement, pride. A joyful ...

Chapter 584 - Heroic speculations

Author note:

No chapter tomorrow, sorry, had to get an ophthalmologist appointment asap because my eyes are acting up again, and since it's quite far away I'll hardly have any time to write. Friday and Saturday chapters should come as usual though, unless I'm told I'm forbidden from looking at screens or something.

Happy reading! (｀• ω •´)b

Chapter 583 - Eye don’t even know

The date half of their arrangement being over, Sofia and Speed ended up outside at the top of the volcano the lodge was built under, sitting on the ledge of the volcano at an arm’s length from each other, they admired the sunrise. 

“Time for the main course?” Sofia asked with a smirk.

“I thought you said you were full?”

“I always have some extra space for some bones, or a dead god. I’ve realised I might have messed up, though,” Sofia admitted.

“H...

Chapter 582 - Spam mail

“And that’s it for my early childhood basically, I would say it stops there. As you can guess I managed to reunite with Saria later, that was only like three years ago though. Lots of stuff happened in between,” Sofia finished her story as she ate the last bit of her second plate of meat.

“You really just stabbed the guy like that? No hesitation, nothing?” Speed asked, surprised by the levity of Sofia’s description of what was essentially her first murder.

“Yeah, sta...

Chapter 581 - The meat of the matter

“You really taught yourself all that only with the things in your domain?” Sofia asked.

“Yes. The previous Speed had been orchestrating this for his successor, I believe. I still have no idea why he would have ended himself, but things were prepared for me to have an easy start, no doubt. After going through the entire bookshelf it was only a matter of time before I grew bored of the domain and started to try to look outside…”

“Did you even know how to leave? I got str...

Chapter 580 - Totally normal conversations

Another masked Avian quickly showed up to lead Speed and Sofia to a table in another room, and Sofia lost sight of the person who looked an awful lot like one of Richard’s ‘spare bodies’.

There were exquisite sculptures and paintings exposed everywhere, which made the restaurant feel almost like some kind of museum, and Sofia couldn’t help but feel like she was a bit out of place. I suppose it’s not too strange for someone like Richard to come eat here?

There we...

Chapter 579 - Watch your back

Sofia took a well-deserved break from her painstaking leveling process to prepare for her ‘date’ with Speed. She was at a bit of a loss at first, not really knowing how she should even prepare, but thankfully Saria was there to help get her Sister dressed up properly and not like a bone-maniac, picking the best-looking robe and accessories out of the bunch that Sofia had accumulated in her storage until now and basically never worn. She was thus wearing a long frilly dark robe in the tren...

Chapter 578 - The box of wonders

“Alright, I’m going in,” Sofia told Bookie and Pareth, “Make sure that the midenicite slab is slotted correctly and bury it all well.”

“You can trust Engineer skeleton!” Bookie proudly answered, “and we won’t let anyone come close!”

“I’m in safe hands then. See you in a bit,” Sofia finished, jumping into the mithril box at the bottom of the pit.

She pulled on the interior handle to close the mithril box and sat down in the center. She had to change ...

Chapter 577 - Size matters

About half an hour after Speed left, Saria fell from the sky and landed in the middle of the swamp like a cannonball, “HELLO EVERYONE!” She looked around, seeing Sofia currently sculpting large bone blocks, and Pareth a bit further away busy collecting swamp plants into pots. “Wait… It’s just you two?”

“Who else? Alith will come with Remia a bit later, and Bookie should be back… Probably soon?”

“You sent him to a dungeon alone or something?” Saria asked.

Chapter 576 - Speed dating???

“Yes! That was the correct solution,” Velania explained, sipping on a hot drink, “You can only get the shroud using [Regret], actually. If you get to the final three it’s designed so that the first one you pick is always wrong.”

“Ooooh, that’s nasty. Who designed that?” Everelle asked.

“Like almost everything else, it’s all Romuald. All I really did was make the things…”

“Right, who made the artifact?” Sofia asked, looking at the ...

Chapter 575 - The bigger Glutton

Sofia and the Dragon disappeared from the void, and a lifeless skeleton holding a rotting bone book appeared in their place.

Commendable foolishness. The Lord said to the lifeless pile of bones. He waved a finger: Bookie was restored to his pristine original book form and Pareth’s dead mana heart surged with mana once again.

The skeletons disappeared.

I have not found an answer…

…

Sofia awoke gasping for air, she immediatel...

Chapter 574 - A Saintess Stands

[ERROR]

[CONNECTION LOST]

Sofia opened her eyes in the middle of nowhere. She was standing on nothing, perhaps falling, and everything was pitch black, but she could move, her senses were all there.

Until another figure appeared from the nothingness, and suddenly Sofia was stuck in place, having a hard time to even think.

Sitting cross-legged about twenty meters in front of Sofia, was a demon-like figure, with seven arms and a mind-bog...

Chapter 573 - What is your essence?

“Please, do explain,” Ihuarah pressed Sofia.

“We were tricked from the beginning! First you, then me. Tricked by the rules into not thinking like real Apostles of Sorrow!”

“The rules?” Ihuarah put a hand over his face, thinking deeply. 

For twenty seconds, Sofia watched Ihuarah think with a widening grin.She was certain he would come to the same conclusion as she did.

Finally he seemed to realize something. He gasped. “I-... There was no need for a h...

Chapter 572 - G Odd jobs

The three remaining shrouds looked perfectly identical. They were made of what looked like fine dark-purple silk, embroidered with gold threads.

The embroideries were elegant and simple, their thin golden threads drawing a repeating pattern out of Sorrow’s rune that covered almost the entire shrouds, with a margin the width of a hand from the borders, which were themselves thinly decorated with a darker, almost black lining with very fine flowery patterns that could only be seen from ...

Chapter 571 - Enshrouded

“Any success?” Ihuarah asked after waiting for a while.

“No… The mana here is really too thick, I can hardly perceive anything. Normally I can feel things like a good kilometer or two away if I focus, but here it’s hard to even see what’s in front of me.”

“And the locket is unresponsive,” Ihuarah added, “our best choice might still be to have you get closer and try to feel the essence resonance.”

“I still can’t even feel the essence you have, so tha...

Announcements (public post)

Hey! So...

The number of people here has been steadily dropping for a while, and I'd be lying if I said it isn't a bit worrying.

I don't think there's any big issue with the story at this time though, so my best guess is just that that price/content offer is not that good anymore, it's been like that ever since I stopped posting on the weekends...

I'm tired of the constant uphill battle so I'm going to start working weekends again. Probably only one chapter on Saturdays for ...
