Micky walked around a large boulder, leading Percy to the others. The sky was a bright azure colour, indicating that it was daytime on the rest of Remior, though Acton and his guards were sleeping right now.
The group wasn’t that far from where Micky stood, but they had to get pretty clos...
2025-04-23 06:01:01 +0000 UTC View PostThe domain sapped the strength from his muscles, as Micky felt the stone walls closing in on him. It was over. The only way out was through the Holy Child. Suffice to say, taking on a Blue just wasn’t realistic. In fact, Micky found it difficult to even move an inch right now…
‘Ho...
2025-04-23 06:00:04 +0000 UTC View Post‘There. That’s got to be him.’ Percy thought, diving into the only healthy soul in his vicinity that didn’t push him away.
Sneaking into Micky’s body was a vastly different experience to what he was used to. The bird’s injuries had healed a long time ago, so his usual s...
2025-04-22 06:01:02 +0000 UTC View PostMicky felt his hunger return with a vengeance.
Rapidly consuming his stamina, he kept both instances of his boosting art active at all times. Most prominent was a set of glowing amber lines branching out of his heart, reaching every corner of his body. A second set spread from his abdomen, ...
2025-04-22 06:00:05 +0000 UTC View PostThe best part about Percy’s growing yield was that it didn’t just increase his output. It also stretched their profit margins, since he started each session with the same number of ingredients regardless of his yield, but he ended up with a greater dosage of the final product if his yield was...
2025-04-21 06:01:01 +0000 UTC View PostNormally, Percy would have just ignored the notification. It wasn’t the first spell he’d upgraded, nor would it be the last. Plus, he had plenty of things on his plate right now. Whether it was the potion’s backlash, Elaine’s fight, or his familiar getting chased by a Blue, everything too...
2025-04-21 06:00:08 +0000 UTC View PostThe moment the scaling principle finally registered, Percy’s stepwise yield instantly jumped by ten percentage points. On top of that, his daily gains picked up – at least for the first couple of days – bringing him back to 75% by the end of the week.
That was certainly impressive in ...

The Green twisted his body into the space between the two scythes, narrowly evading the spinning blades. Still, the last-second manoeuvre left him in an awkward orientation, forcing him to eat several throwing stars right to his soul. He landed on the ...
2025-04-20 06:00:08 +0000 UTC View PostBatch after batch, hour after hour, day after day, Percy continued to brew inside his room, rapidly consuming his enormous stash of green mushrooms. By now, a rich herbal aroma permeated the inn – maybe the entire neighbourhood – all day long.
Luckily, nobody had bothered him about it. ...
2025-04-19 06:01:01 +0000 UTC View PostForcing her racing heartbeat to calm down, she scanned the battlefield with Mana Sense, observing her opponents carefully. Whenever they attacked, she dodged with minimal movement, doing her best to conserve her mana. At the same time, she took one deep breath after another, slowly refilling her ...
2025-04-19 06:00:11 +0000 UTC View PostPercy walked into the warehouse for the third time in the past couple of weeks, his steps hurried and his breath short. Once again, there was nobody here besides Nesha and Elaine.
“Why did you bring me here? Did something go wrong?” he asked, fearing the worst.
His last two visits...
2025-04-18 06:01:04 +0000 UTC View PostElaine swallowed hard as the Greens approached. Common affinities or not, these people were from the Divine Root. Even with Circulation, taking on three of them wouldn’t be easy. Still, it wasn’t herself she was worried about…
‘Will he be alright?’ she stole a glance at h...
2025-04-18 06:00:19 +0000 UTC View PostChecking up on his familiar, Percy waited fifteen minutes – or around five hours from the crow’s perspective – for him to start hunting again with Acton.
Strictly speaking, Micky’s help would only be indispensable when it was Elaine’s turn to receive her core. Percy was confident ...
2025-04-17 06:01:01 +0000 UTC View Post‘Percy! They’re here!’ Micky yelled through the cord.
Startled, Percy nearly messed up the rune he was carving on his scythe. It had already been a few hours since he and Nesha woke up, and he’d decided to take advantage of that to reforge his weapons too.
“Wai...
2025-04-17 06:00:04 +0000 UTC View Post‘Only Refined? What a scam…’
Percy would be lying if he said he wasn’t a little surprised. His Status had registered the Phantomscale Regalia as a Masterful spell, and the runework that had gone into his new cauldron was more than a couple steps beyond that.
Then agai...
2025-04-16 06:01:04 +0000 UTC View PostPercy’s hands shook as he tried to mould his mana into the correct shape. This was already his third attempt, but the construct crumbled into powder about half-way through, the fine dust spilling between his trembling fingers.
“Come on… not again!” he groaned, nearly slamming his fi...
2025-04-16 06:00:02 +0000 UTC View PostCarving the final stroke into the enchantment, Percy scanned the whole thing once more, verifying he hadn’t made a mistake. Well… not a visible one, at least…
‘It’s good, I think.’
The heat rune he’d just drawn was affixed with a whopping five control runes. Tha...
2025-04-15 06:01:01 +0000 UTC View PostActon picked a branch off the ground, sniffing the broken end a couple of times before tossing it aside. The scent was there, but it was faint. More so than usual.
“Gone again…” he muttered, a grimace marring his face.
There was no doubt his target had spent some t...
2025-04-15 06:00:05 +0000 UTC View Post“Good news first?” Nesha tentatively asked, her voice tinged with uncertainty.
“It seems to be the off-season.”
Percy had been able to tell due to the size of the floating globules. Their very existence was unique to the Valley, brought about by the different flow of time on e...
2025-04-14 06:01:02 +0000 UTC View PostIt took them an entire week to reach the next town. The good news was that bandits never bothered them anymore, probably thanks to Elaine being in the group. Nothing like a Green to ward lowlifes off. Then again, Micky might have preferred to have a snack or two step forward of their own volition...
2025-04-14 06:00:05 +0000 UTC View PostPercy listened to Nesha as she briefed him in on her progress. It was great that they’d managed to get the Radiant Lord on board without a hitch, though that wasn’t enough to wipe the frown off his face.
“What’s wrong? You don’t look very happy.” Nesha asked, noticing something....
2025-04-13 06:01:03 +0000 UTC View Post“What are you even doing?” Elaine asked after Percy nearly stumbled on a pebble.
He shrugged.
“If this works, I’ll never have to condense another crystal in my life.”
It was still dark, the trio walking towards the next town, the crow flying nearby. But Percy didn’t ...
2025-04-13 06:00:19 +0000 UTC View Post‘Another failure.’ Nesha grimaced.
Emptying the excess mana from her channels, she plopped back onto the floor, her chest heaving up and down.
On top of spending her nights to establish the supply lines they needed for their plan, she made sure to carve a few hours p...
2025-04-12 06:01:01 +0000 UTC View PostCountless footfalls broke the oppressive silence of the night, as dozens of men marched through the fields. They moved as quietly as they could, but there was only so much such a large group could do to mask their presence.
Most of them were doomed to die tonight, though they didn’t seem ...
2025-04-12 06:00:05 +0000 UTC View PostPercy felt much better come morning, even though he didn’t get as much sleep as he would’ve liked. His headache hadn’t subsided completely just yet – he’d likely have to put everything he’d learned on Felmara into practice before he could knock the last kinks off. That said, he’d im...
2025-04-11 06:01:01 +0000 UTC View Post“So… that four-armed boy in the vision… you’re saying that was me?” Micky asked once everything had calmed down.
Percy nodded. Evidently, his familiar hadn’t truly regained his memories just yet. Not in any complete sense, at least. He’d merely experienced those scene...
2025-04-11 06:00:09 +0000 UTC View PostPercy stared at the hut in stunned silence for a few seconds, partly because he hadn’t decided what to say to the woman just yet, and partly because he found her words interesting.
So, this little hut, standing stubbornly against the eroding march of time, had been the home of a titan onc...
2025-04-10 06:01:01 +0000 UTC View Post“Percy! Are you ok?!” Nesha’s distraught voice was the first thing he caught.
Prying his eyes open, he found himself back at the lakeside, resting on the same spot as before. Both girls were by his side, holding him in place. Probably to stop him from hurting himself. The pat...
2025-04-10 06:00:02 +0000 UTC View PostThe half-moon shone dimly over Twilight City, bathing the park in its soft radiance. It illuminated the faces of the two people sitting side by side on an old bench, discussing something quietly.
At some point, one of them – a bearded man with glowing eyes – carefully handed the woman s...
