Chapter 178 - To the End of the World

Once they were in Frostland’s Gate, Mirian fetched the Elder artifacts from the Labyrinth, then briefed everyone on the research they’d done so far.

Song Jei took one look at what Mirian had been calling the ‘special’ acid dissolving...

Chapter 177 - Into the Endelice

In between bouts of research, Mirian had made several preparations for her journey north. She’d enhanced the enchantments on her cloak and bedroll, created a small enough leyline detector that it fit in her pack, and set enchantments into her re...

1/26 Weekly Roundup

Here's the chapters that got published this week. A bit of a slow week this week. I've needed to go back and add to my notes (turns out time loops are complicated, who knew?), then plan out more details for the upcoming chapters. Hope everyone's d...

Chapter 176 - Revisit

Mirian didn’t like keeping to the shadows, but reminding herself of the strategic necessity helped her overcome her periodic urge to start flinging spells.

The next cycle, she left Selesia behind. She didn’t want the girl to get caught i...

Chapter 175 - War Fever

Mirian was expecting the bullet, was watching for it, but it still caught her by surprise. Kinsman had a strong voice that carried people along with it, and the suddenness by which it was interrupted was almost as shocking as his sudden collapse.<...

1/19 Weekly Roundup

Book 2 is now done and we're heading into book 3. Here's the chapters that got released this week:

Marvelous Mages

Chapter 174 - Assassination

Mirian and Selesia found themselves eating a late dinner at one of the ‘bars’ near the University Hospital where Jherica had been taken. Mirian was still a bit disturbed about how prevalent alcohol was in Vadriach. However, it allowed them to ...

Chapter 173 - Seeker

Mirian stood by the prow of the passenger ship, letting the wind whip at her as she waited for shore to appear. Already, she was impatient to get to Vadriach City. Her mother may have loved ships, but she couldn’t see the appeal. They rocked aro...

Chapter 172 - The Long Road Ahead

Mirian paid for new accommodations for her adoptive family, one with guards. She contracted another company to keep an eye out on anyone attempting to surveil them. The nice thing about Florin was there were a lot of services available for anyone ...

1/12 Weekly Roundup

Hope everyone's week is going well! Here's the chapters that got released this week:

Chapter 171 - Family

Mirian walked into the Sovereign's Aerie and assumed an aura of command. This was the Mirian who had commanded soldiers and led battles. Her voice brooked no disagreement.

A puffed up Zayd wandered in after her, undermining her comportment o...

Chapter 170 - Finding the Castrellas

On the 166th loop, Mirian took a train to Cairnmouth, bought some forged papers from the Syndicate, then took a passenger ship to Arborholm in Akana Praediar. She disguised herself as an Akanan soldier and snuck into the fort outside of the city. ...

Chapter 169 - Learning the Hard Way

From her hill, Mirian watched the Akanan air yacht approach. In the end, it would be Troytin’s predictability and inflexibility that would do him in. And his inability to conceive of a world where allies are better than underlings.

1/5 Weekly Roundup

At long last, I've finished drafting book 2, which will finish up soon here. The total wordcount of books 1 and 2 together is just short of a half-million words, which is a crazy big number and still sounds strange to me when I say it. As always, ...

 Chapter 168 - The Soulbound Spellbook

Mirian tried to stay calm, but for once, as the apocalypse approached, she had something to lose. The alchemists she’d hired were good, but they’d still fucked up distilling the titan catalyst twice, which had caused unacceptable delays. The t...

Chapter 167 - The Archmage Mirian Castrella

Mirian sheathed her wand of levitation and looked up at the transformed Apophagorga. There would be no running. In one hand, she held Eclipse like a conductor’s baton, in the other, Archmage Luspire’s spellbook. She looked around again. Most o...

Chapter 166 - The Soul of a Titan

As a scarlet dawn broke on the 28th, Mirian surveyed her arrayed forces one last time.

From her vantage on her command ship, Mirian could distinguish Annita even at a distance from her distinctive eyepatch. Her hunters were spread out in an ...

12/29 Weekly Roundup

Happy holidays! Family and travel make posting and editing a challenge this time of year (my ancient Chromebook starts chugging every time I switch a tab, and outright refuses to work with websites like Patreon). Making this post on a phone is bey...

Chapter 165 - Speedrunning the Loop - Solem 21

Mirian sat in the heart of the Alkazaria Citadel around a long, crowded table. The large, domed room they were in was ancient. Long ago, kings had held meetings with their lords here. The old stonework and angular carvings on the wall were contras...

Chapter 164 - Speedrunning the Loop: Another Perspective

Torrviol, Solen 3

Lily was walking back from the dining hall when she saw it. Several students were looking up at something, and, curious, she looked up with them. She’d been on edge ever since Mirian disappeared. Then,...

Chapter 163 - Speedrunning the Loop, Solem 2-3

In the morning, Mirian went wyvern hunting.

On previous trips, she’d brought her myrvite detector up to identify their locations, and found several nests. She had to be picky, though. The lesser wyverns had shorter wings and thinner bones....

Chapter 162 - Speedrunning the Loop, Solem 1

On the 163rd cycle, Mirian awoke, threw off the covers, and was out of bed before the first drop of water from the ceiling hit her. She scrambled to dress.

“Mirian?” came the voice of her groggy roommate. “Did the alarm candle not—wh...

12/15 Weekly Roundup Post

Here's a roundup of this week's new chapters. Hopefully everyone is having a fantastic weekend (or had one, I guess, depending on what part of the world you're in).

Chapter 161 - Final Preparations

Mirian spent two more cycles training with Rostal. The old dervish pushed her hard, but she demanded he push her harder. She built the death-corridor course in an abandoned part of the Palendurio canals to keep herself used to the hall. She also r...

Chapter 160 - Another Route

When the time loop started fresh, Mirian spent some time in the dorms one night quietly breaking into people’s rooms and investigating their spellbooks. It had the advantage of both disrupting the initial conditions Troytin would encounter, and ...

Chapter 159 - Refining the Route

That night, Mirian had them chain the oxen to the clearing right next to where Apophagorga would emerge. If she was right, she hoped the beast would grow comfortable finding the occasional snack.

She ordered the expedition back. Some decided...

Chapter 158 - Gathering Forces

Trinea’s fireball wand was a nice one. Judging by its size and shape, it probably had two parallel conduits in it. And, because it was pointed right at her face, she could see the outer glyphwork was impeccable. Even with spell res...

Chapter 157 - A Plethora of Praetorians

Mirian looked back as she left the room. The bishop was watching her. He didn’t have any soul bindings. As soon as he noticed she’d noticed him, he looked away.

Does he know Adria? Or does he know something else?

She would...
