Noah wasn’t sure for exactly how long he sat before the imbued wall. He’d never been the best at keeping track of time. Having a fractured mind made that even harder. But there was one benefit to having a few different versions of himself overlaid into a single, mostly cohesive being.

Lillia had been bound to her tavern for so long, the Mesh’s restraints on her making it so that people had to stay over and eat within it, that the idea of her being able to send food out of the tavern on purpose...
2025-08-05 16:00:20 +0000 UTC View PostLillia didn’t answer any questions when she reached the top of the volcano’s mouth to rejoin Two and Arwin. She barely even gave them a second glance. Her eyes were already somewhere else, and it seemed that the only thing her body could do was follow.
“We’re leaving,” Lillia said...

It took Noah a moment to find the words for a reply. The world was still spinning slightly around him. He wasn’t sure he would ever get used to the speed that the Devourer could move at. All the improved reaction timing and reflexes h...
2025-08-04 16:00:20 +0000 UTC View PostAlex’s eyes flicked to the rest of Berith’s chains as he took a step back, preparing to draw on his magic — but the pure white metal didn’t seem to have any more cracks within it. There was only a single mar upon what had once been a flawless surface.
“Is something a matter?” Be...

Vireth stared at him.
He stared back at her.
“What?” Vireth asked, so stunned that the malice in her voice completely cracked.
“You can’t just go around claiming people,” Thane said. “That isn’t how it works.”

2025-08-04 16:00:20 +0000 UTC View PostAlex’s Mind Palace trembled as he drank in power from the magic he’d condensed into his basin. Meiderly’s advice had yet to fail him. Nearly all of the biggest advantages he’d gotten within fights had come from having his foundations filled to the brim. There was no reason to change what ...
2025-08-03 16:00:18 +0000 UTC View PostThe Gracefall Adventurer’s Hall was awash with a buzzing murmur of excitement. Jared couldn’t remember the last time he’d had this many customers. His poor kitchen staff hadn’t been anywhere near prepared for this amount of attention.
Neither had he, for that matter. His hands...
2025-08-02 16:03:16 +0000 UTC View PostArwin wasn’t sure how long he stood there. The passing of time seemed to turn into little more than the hiss of sand rushing past his ears. All he knew was that time had passed. Nothing else mattered.
Every part of his focus was on Lillia. If the faint twitch of her tail hadn’t been pro...
2025-08-01 16:00:32 +0000 UTC View PostNoah stared at the shimmering blue construct around him, the Heart’s emotionless voice rolling over his ears like a distant thunderstorm.
There’s no way out?
That thought lasted approximately half a second.
“Well, that’s a load of bullshit.” The Heart didn’t...
