Each leap of the monstrous spell-spider made my heart quiver. I had thought we were out of the woods for a moment, but this thing had other ideas. Worse, whatever relay the thing used to communicate with its main body was eldritch in nature. My cl...
2024-12-18 22:45:37 +0000 UTC View PostThe moment my clone got in range, it dumped a huge chunk of its absorption essence into my second rune ability. A portal appeared right in front of it. My clone leapt through it. The portals I could open were too small for me to move through - but...
2024-12-18 09:04:25 +0000 UTC View PostAlice continued staring at her new Perk for far, far longer than she should have, before she shook herself out of her thoughts. She had one more new Perk to pick, and two Perks to activate. Then… it was time to take her new Perk out for a spin, ...
2024-12-13 22:47:20 +0000 UTC View PostThe spider army surged forward, methodically searching each street. Meanwhile, our group’s anxiety continued to spike. If we stayed here, we would probably die. If we moved, we would also probably die. I swapped between my soul sight and my spat...
2024-12-13 07:41:46 +0000 UTC View PostAfter discussing Sallia’s plan, the four of us agreed that it had enough merit to be worth trying. None of us were sure if it would work, but we didn’t have any better options. We only had two worlds left, and we needed to grow stronger. Even ...
2024-12-12 07:56:07 +0000 UTC View PostAfter Felix finished using the bed, a total of twelve hours had passed since I had made my clone stop the collapse of the nest earlier in the facility. Sallia took a quick look, but decided that any Ability she wanted was outside of her budget. Th...
2024-12-11 07:32:31 +0000 UTC View PostThat night, Alice and Cecilia stewed in anxiety while they waited in Demor’s mansion. Alice’s worries about how to finish her last few problems had been tossed to the back of her thoughts. The Society’s appearance – or, perhaps more accura...
2024-12-06 22:42:05 +0000 UTC View PostAuthor Note - HUGE error last chapter.
So, to explain what the issue is, I need to go into a bit of an explanation about how my editing process currently works. Obviously, I’ve changed the way I edit chapters a bunch...
2024-12-06 07:38:46 +0000 UTC View PostNow that I knew what everyone had as their final ‘setup,’ I started my final session with the bed. I had 5,332.09 Achievement, and I was pretty comfortable spending down to about 200 if needed.
This time, I focused on the ‘Hints’ but...
2024-12-05 07:37:34 +0000 UTC View PostAuthor’s Note: Math oopsie in chapter 324.
For some reason, while I was editing the chapter, I was utterly convinced that Swordsmanship cost 4 glut, not 2. Thus, when I removed the ability, I subtracted 4 glut from Miriaâ€...
2024-12-04 05:28:36 +0000 UTC View PostThe moment after Alice processed what they were looking at, panic started to set in. There was blood on the floor. Something looked like it had entered the house and hurt the owner. There were signs of a struggle. Had a monster broken in? Had some...
2024-11-29 22:45:52 +0000 UTC View PostThe Skill I decided to focus on was Endless Hunger of the Ocean. It had a lot of fragmented Keywords, which I suspected would give me interesting results.
The next moment, the System screen moved to the Skill customization menu. It was... co...
2024-11-28 04:43:31 +0000 UTC View PostThe first thing I did was click on the ‘remove an ability’ option. Before messing with ability customization, I needed space. That meant getting some Glut free, to see what I was working with. I also needed to make sure the bed wasn't broken a...
2024-11-27 07:25:50 +0000 UTC View PostThe morning after Alice’s first magic seed experiment, she was in a good mood. She had finally made some progress towards making an artificial magic seed. She was still missing several things for a ‘full’ class seed, and she wasn’t entirel...
2024-11-22 22:46:56 +0000 UTC View PostI reached out with my alteration essence and touched the string of fraying essence. Nothing else happened. The string of essence continued to fall apart. I felt a wave of panic as I realized something.
The thread of essence that was unravell...
2024-11-22 05:44:28 +0000 UTC View PostAs I read the sign in front of the skill center, I thought about what we needed.
Removing Skills had potential, but also came at a cost. Removing an ability or part of an ability would weaken us. However, it would also free up more room for ...
2024-11-21 04:35:46 +0000 UTC View PostNow that we had a rough idea why the spiders were so terrifying, we didn’t need long to think up a countermeasure. The spiders had an obvious weakness. Their ridiculous speed and offensive power were reliant on their [Agility] and [Manifestation...
2024-11-20 06:27:15 +0000 UTC View PostAs I saw the horde of spiders dart towards us, I resisted the urge to start swearing in frustration.
One spider was stronger than most guardians for better shops in the outer district. It had access to offensive magic, healing, incredible sp...

2024-11-15 22:50:56 +0000 UTC View PostThe first step was simple. I created a water clone, using the smallest possible amount of my soul that I could, and then sent it into the Spatial Fair with an instrument. This instrument sounded kind of like someone banging a metal bat against a b...
2024-11-15 09:45:14 +0000 UTC View PostAuthor’s Note: Notable typo last chapter. Miria states that her Achievement was at 12,7034.85 Achievement… which is absurd. I must have accidentally hit 2 number keys at the same time when I was writing, thus resulting in this...
2024-11-14 08:53:46 +0000 UTC View PostAlice’s new plan was simple. She knew for a fact that the System was somehow helping people create artificial magic seeds. She couldn’t imagine any other way that Class Seeds could have plausibly come into existence. Furthermore, unless she wa...
2024-11-08 22:27:33 +0000 UTC View PostOur group spent several minutes backtracking, before we met up with my clone. During that time, I had my clone cycle between soul sight and regular vision. Despite my efforts, I couldn’t find any enemies or traps in the area. Based on what I kne...
2024-11-08 07:29:34 +0000 UTC View PostAfter we confirmed that we were ready, we started sprinting. Our bodies didn't get tired or sore, so there was no reason to walk. Meanwhile, I sent my clone in a different direction. I didn't think that it would find an inner district, since it wa...
2024-11-07 09:27:37 +0000 UTC View PostAuthor’s Note: In my infinite wisdom, in chapter 314 I forgot to apply Miria’s extra stats from Swordsmanship and her mental stats from her first rune. I also forgot to list ‘Fungal Resilience’ under her abilities list. Th...
2024-11-06 06:03:33 +0000 UTC View PostThe next few days were mostly repetition of the same thing. Alice woke up, had breakfast, and then watched Demor create Artifacts. Then, she experimented with the few remaining manaborn monsters, or returned to her Dream Library to review Demor’...
2024-11-01 21:47:59 +0000 UTC View PostAuthor’s Note: Small error last chapter. Miria tried to prepare an extinguish during the fight with the skeleton, which is usually fine… but she doesn’t have her affinity rebuilt yet. I forgot that while writing the cha...
2024-11-01 06:58:51 +0000 UTC View PostAs usual, we drifted towards a city on the railing. Our souls drifted closer to the ground, until finally, we were just above the street. Then, mana swarmed my soul. Seconds later, I was in the middle of a fresh physical body. A few System notific...
