Percy didn’t even get a moment to ponder over the how or why the entity had responded in the way it had, when he spotted something moving beneath their feet.
“It’s trying to escape!” he exclaimed, already running behind it.
The change was barely perceptible ...
2025-05-23 06:01:01 +0000 UTC View PostThe Yellow golem was nothing like the bouncing balls of the Red level, or the spider-like constructs of the Orange level. It resembled a person, much like the Green golems, yet it was far smaller than the hulking monstrosities Percy had fought alongside Gabe. Its lean frame was covered in yellow ...
2025-05-23 06:00:07 +0000 UTC View PostWith his boosting art now at Masterful, Percy was confident he could defeat any solitary opponent on the planet. Well, unless they ran into a Blue beast, but he wasn’t sure there were any on Melodia.
That was not to say that they were out of trouble though.
They could still...
2025-05-22 06:01:02 +0000 UTC View Post“Glad to hear it.” Metatron said before sending him flying out of a freshly opened exit in the cube with a wave of his tentacle, leaving only Gabe and Tlaloc behind.
“Oh, and I noticed you amassed quite a few credits last time you were here… Tell you what… If you can get to 5000, ...
2025-05-22 06:00:07 +0000 UTC View PostRivers of fiends shot at Percy and Sol from every direction, the swarm flying soundlessly above the still water. The only sounds breaking the eerie silence of the lake were the crisp notes released by the beast’s powerful hops in the distance, as well as the girl’s rhythmic breaths.
“I’m listening.”
“I can give you a powerful spell that anyone can use, regardless of their affinity. It takes some effort to meet the requirements, but I promise you it’s worth it.” Percy explained.
“What tier?”
“Refined.”
Some disappointment flashed in...
2025-05-21 06:00:03 +0000 UTC View PostHaving been the first to spot the attack, Percy had an easier time dodging. With two swift strides, he sidestepped the torrent of fiends, watching as it soundlessly phased through the smooth surface of the water. Probably even the ground beneath, judging from its momentum.
Doh had a slightl...
2025-05-20 06:01:01 +0000 UTC View Post“You know… saving you would have been a lot easier if you’d tried running towards me instead of standing there, waiting to be rescued like a moron…” Percy said once he was back on his feet.
Then, he helped the prisoner up, as the guy seemed incapable of standing by himsel...
2025-05-20 06:00:02 +0000 UTC View PostPercy was more than happy with his new Refined spell. There was still some room for improvement, but he doubted it would register another upgrade during his stay on Melodia. It wouldn’t be until he merged it with his Replicating Soul Harvester back home that he expected it to hit Masterful.

‘What the hell was that?!’
It made no sense! At first, the kid had merely screamed his lungs out like a lunatic – just like he’d done last year. But he hadn’t se...
2025-05-19 06:00:02 +0000 UTC View Post‘Seven Green beasts?! Together?!’ Percy spat, cursing inward at their bad luck.
Back on Remior, one would be hard-pressed to find even two or three Greens of the same species, let alone this many. At least if special locations like the Fungal Spire were excluded. But perhaps, i...
2025-05-18 06:01:01 +0000 UTC View PostMana spilled out of the prisoner’s pores, shrouding his body in a cyan mist. Like with Percy’s Synchronization, the influx of mana was simply too much to fit inside one’s channels. The only way to survive the technique was to let this excess out, essentially storing it externally.
But...
2025-05-18 06:00:04 +0000 UTC View PostAccording to Doh, the lake stretched for hundreds of miles, making it even larger than the Thirsty Valley.
‘Should be called the Mirror Sea, really…’
It was impossible to see the other end of its tranquil waters even after climbing the colossal trees in its vicinity. Pe...
2025-05-17 06:01:02 +0000 UTC View PostThe trio’s hurried steps echoed through the long corridor as they rushed to reach the auditorium on time. And they weren’t alone, several latecomers practically running by their side. Yet, Percy’s thoughts were far removed from the Mana Flow lecture right now.
‘I can’t believe...
2025-05-17 06:00:05 +0000 UTC View PostThe hunters had expected some changes in their surroundings as they neared the Mirror Lake. It was the most mana-rich location on the entire planet, and that led to a cascade of additional consequences. The plant life in the surrounding area flourished, growing to downright titanic sizes.

2025-05-16 06:01:02 +0000 UTC View Post“Are you sure about it?” one of the guards asked.
“Look at it yourself – the runes are blinking!” the other replied. “This only happens when the tanks drop below 25%.”
The first guy raised an eyebrow.
“Is there’s something wrong with the enchantment?” he aske...
2025-05-16 06:00:06 +0000 UTC View PostObjectively speaking, the fight wasn’t going well.
Percy’s spinning sickles just about managed to keep the bird at bay, preventing it from tearing him to shreds. But he didn’t have an easy time landing a hit either. In fact, he’d come closer to slicing Latt’s soul up by accident a...
2025-05-15 06:01:00 +0000 UTC View PostAll things considered, going through the notebooks had been relatively straightforward. Percy had merely had to replicate a few well-defined exercises, without much room for interpretation. And he’d been generously rewarded for his efforts – both at a personal level and with respect to his ho...
2025-05-15 06:00:08 +0000 UTC View PostThe following days reminded Percy of his time in the Thirsty Valley. Once again, he found himself in a group of three people – or three bodies, at least – surrounded by an endless expanse filled with horrific beasts.
Only, the situation was a little worse – in many ways. Doh, Sol and ...
2025-05-14 06:01:01 +0000 UTC View PostSomething warm trickled down Percy’s chin, soaking the fur on his neck. The smell of iron filled his nostrils, his brain feeling like jelly. But he endured.
More importantly, his concentration stretched like a rubber band – or perhaps, like a slingshot, shooting shrapnel through his sku...
2025-05-14 06:00:06 +0000 UTC View PostPercy watched Rei as she sifted through the empty vials in her pockets, her trembling hand probably searching for a healing potion.
It didn’t seem like she had any left.
“Here you go,” he said, startling her. She clearly hadn’t noticed him approach.
Summoning two from hi...
2025-05-13 06:01:01 +0000 UTC View PostGlancing around, he quickly spotted a strange circle in the middle of the room. It was covered in even more enchantments than everything else, clearly protecting something extremely valuable. And Percy knew exactly what it was.
The Wiseman’s Dust.
There was an indentation inside the...
2025-05-13 06:00:05 +0000 UTC View Post“I survived… again.” Rei muttered, her heart clenching at the sight of her fallen comrades.
She was one of the few remaining Orange cores in the group. Unlike the others, she hadn’t made it this far through sheer luck, however. The other hunters had done everything in their power to...
2025-05-12 06:01:01 +0000 UTC View PostPercy arrived at the designated lounge an hour early, unwilling to waste even a second of his time in the Wiseman’s Chamber.
“Good morning, sir.” an attendant greeted him with a deep bow.
He was an older Orange-born. Not quite at Blue yet, though a few silver streaks ran through...
2025-05-12 06:00:04 +0000 UTC View PostThe Melodians weren’t the only ones operating on a strict schedule. Percy was too. He’d already spent over six years inside the Valley before coming here, and his main body only had about seven more – give or take – until his confrontation with the Holy Child.
By then, he should hav...
2025-05-11 06:01:02 +0000 UTC View PostPercy carefully poured the contents of the cauldron into the funnel, counting each droplet as it trickled into the pinkie-sized vial.
‘…99… 100… 101.’
Technically, this was already more than a full dose – enough to meet Dugris’s objective. But Percy didn’t rus...
2025-05-11 06:00:01 +0000 UTC View PostThe sun shone brightly over the lush forest, its blinding rays bouncing off the smooth surfaces. They banished even the tiniest shadow from existence, immersing the exhausted hunters in a world of light.
So intense was it, that Percy regularly disconnected himself from his host’s eyes, wh...
2025-05-10 06:01:01 +0000 UTC View PostA soft flame burned over Lyn’s palm, bathing their surroundings in its golden radiance. Percy had to admit, he was impressed she could maintain the spell for so long with just an Orange core.
From what she’d explained, the trick lay in diffusing the fire mana through multiple channels b...
2025-05-10 06:00:02 +0000 UTC View Post“And you said its name was Percy?” Doh – the Green-born asked.
After they were done burying the dead and packing their supplies, he had allowed his men to take a short break for about an hour, before ordering them to set off. As tired as everyone was, it appeared they needed to get mo...
2025-05-09 06:01:01 +0000 UTC View PostMore lumps formed inside the cauldron than usual, as the fungal tar Percy had added to the concoction had greatly raised its viscosity. The good news was that the lumps caused by the mud mana were much easier to dissolve than the ones which emerged due to the healing potion itself.
