Five chapters left on this one folks, should be finishing off at 140
2025-10-07 19:29:20 +0000 UTC View PostAiden escorted me back to the suite of rooms my people were staying in. The walk was…informative. The WCP reminded me of nothing so much as a walled city. It wasn’t a building, for all the it was in one piece. Huge towering chambers, spatial manipulation, artificial sunlight, parks, there wer...
2025-10-07 01:06:30 +0000 UTC View PostSomeone who wasn’t me might wonder why I was so excited. I’d met my ancestor, he’d said almost nothing to me, then he’d kicked me out. Which…honestly had been what I’d expected. He was the Wishmaster. As a god centered around deals and contracts, once I was no longer relevant to him i...
2025-10-04 00:37:09 +0000 UTC View PostWe didn’t stop inside the Palace. I expected to be taken to a throne room, or maybe some kind of study. Instead, Aiden brought me deep, deep into the heart of the structure, and then we left it behind to enter a deeper area.
After an hour or two of walking (ignoring everyone we passed), w...
2025-10-02 23:39:08 +0000 UTC View PostWe made our way through the bleak rocky landscape pretty easily. Not that I expected trouble with Aiden around. I was sure my grandparents were tougher, given my grandpa was a demigod, but something about having the ACTUAL Wishmaster on hand in case of trouble was, admittedly, soothing.
Whe...
2025-10-01 23:29:10 +0000 UTC View PostReaching out to the gate was an odd experience. It was a bit like calling for my soul weapon, but also not. For one, I could FEEL the doors, and they were much more powerful than my staff was. Something in me though, my bloodline, or maybe my position, seemed to resonate with the massive metal sl...
2025-10-01 01:00:30 +0000 UTC View PostFinally, the last day or two passed, and it was time to go. I had to admit, I was nervous. Coming here had been amazing. Feeling the warmth of family, spending my days relaxing, I had learned and grown so much in ways that weren’t possible to track on my stat sheet. But now…now it was time to...
2025-09-29 23:59:27 +0000 UTC View PostDinner was a busy affair. Everyone from the family who lived nearby had shown up to see us off. My Uncle Anders had brought his daughters Sonya and Lara, who were losing their minds over the fact that Bethy was at the dinner. They were younger than I had been at the beginning of my journey, only ...
2025-09-26 22:10:20 +0000 UTC View PostGetting back to my mom’s estate didn’t take much work to arrange. We could have taken a shuttle, but after some deliberation we decided to fly back. The angels, Callie, Bethy and I all had wings, but my sister didn’t, so Sera and Holly took one arm each and carried her. Bethy seemed mildly ...
2025-09-25 19:36:38 +0000 UTC View PostAfter the unfortunate revelation that some kind of…something was going to try to kill me at my coronation (probably), I made Isaac an offer. With over seventeen hundred scrolls to burn, finding enough people to use them all with any expedience would be tough on my own. Luckily, I was in the pre...
2025-09-24 22:27:48 +0000 UTC View PostCallie was in a great mood when we finally met up with the others. I was really happy for her too, of course, but also somewhat terrified of where they’d BEEN. “Hey guys,” I greeted my sister, Bethy, and the angels. “Where did you wander off to?”
Bethy beamed. “I was trying to b...
2025-09-23 22:59:35 +0000 UTC View PostWe ran into a slight problem with Callie using all my scrolls…she couldn’t pay for them. If she’d just been reshuffling her points it would have been fine, point for point, but unfortunately, wishing for MORE stats meant cost, and she just didn’t have enough to pay for it. We’d tried pa...
2025-09-23 00:55:00 +0000 UTC View PostDinner with Ariel was really nice. She was an extremely warm and welcoming person, and Holly and Serah both adored her. But despite that, throughout the entire meal, I couldn’t help but notice Callie was…distant. I’d expected after contributing her flicker to the flames of eternity she’d ...
2025-09-19 20:00:32 +0000 UTC View PostThe Seraphim Tower was…big. Not intimidating, or imposing, exactly, just big. If anything the building was strangely comforting in its size. Like a big reliable bodyguard that loomed over the nearby area. It sat in the middle of a valley, surrounded by fluffy golden clouds, and the top of the t...
2025-09-19 01:01:15 +0000 UTC View PostTime. The more of it that I endured, the faster it seemed to flow. A day. A month. Six. The trip to Seraph (the capital planet of the Holy Dominion) only took a month in the Acheron. The other five went by in a blur of revelry, meetings, and general contentment. Meeting relatives, bonding with my...
2025-09-18 01:13:37 +0000 UTC View PostIt was time to leave. Two days since the resurrection, one hundred and eight scrolls on hand, all my locals paid up and ready to head off…and I was going my own way. “You need to be careful with that dragon,” I told Benny sternly. “I know Sebastian is going to be helping you learn to work...
