[Announcement] The Lone Wanderer Book 1 is now live on Amazon!

The fated day is upon us!

Book 1 has landed on a greater spring (Amazon) in search of divinity!

This includes:

Chapter 513 – Boulders

‘Straight to Refined, huh? Not bad!’ Micky thought, pressing his excitement down before it showed on his host’s expression by mistake. The last thing Marnok needed was to have to explain to his crewmates why he was the only one thrilled to be starving on a deserted island.

Th...

Chapter 512 – Internal

Lacking enough information to determine with any certainty what exactly was making the sailors ill, Micky decided to let the situation unfold, and to deal with everything as it came.

Ignoring the coughing men, he took a moment to bask in the warm sunlight, and to take a few deep breaths of ...

Chapter 511 – Coughing

Everyone felt a lot less tired by sunset, though the sailors agreed that it was best to wait until morning before beginning their journey into the island’s unwelcoming depths. Granted, time was precious, and it wasn’t like they were completely safe on the beach, but delving into the jungle at...

Chapter 510 – Robari

Micky had several questions, not the least of which being “how did a barren world without elixirs ever produce demigods?” He wasn’t in a rush to voice them, however. First, he and his host had to take a few precautions to raise their odds of surviving the upcoming trek.

After giving M...

Chapter 509 – Survivors

The sound of the tall waves washing over the coast was strangely soothing – almost like the sea had forgotten the horrific massacre that had taken place in its depths just then. The sailors didn’t seem to care about the ocean’s cruel irony in the slightest, too busy whispering to one anothe...

Chapter 508 – Marnok

Micky watched the sailors swim toward the island with all their strength. The poor souls didn’t even dare to toss a glance back as their crewmates got dragged to the dark depths one after the other.

Some tried to resist the monsters. Colours of every common affinity flashed beneath the su...

Chapter 507 – Micky’s clone

It wasn’t a greater or even a lower spring that the clone had found himself approaching this time – just a barren world. At least, he hadn’t sensed the presence of any gods or powerful mortals, yet he still felt more excited about this trip than he had in a long time.

The fact that he...

Chapter 506 – Gamble

Countless thoughts passed through Phoebe’s mind in an instant, as even somebody as experienced as her struggled to digest the shocking events she’d just witnessed.

Strictly speaking, the strength of the cloaked figure wasn’t worth mentioning to a demigod – let alone a titaness. Even...

Chapter 505 – Mistake

As expected, Phoebe watched Deimos toy with Percy and the crow, effortlessly ripping them apart. Seeing the Violet preparing to finish the boy off, she knew that her time to interfere was quickly running out. Yet, just as she was about to step in to save him, the broken familiar leapt in the way ...

Chapter 504 – Stalker

A few days earlier

Unbeknownst to Percy, there was an ancient, wise, and arguably pretty pair of eyes watching his every move. In fact, learning how long these eyes had been observing him would likely send a chill down his spine.

Admittedly, spying on the boy wasn’t...

Chapter 503 – Percy’s version of a vacation

Tired as he was, Percy couldn’t help but keep his eyes glued to the egg during the first couple of hours. The bundle of souls rolling inside the obsidian orb calmed down after a while, showing no immediate signs of collapsing – which had to be a good thing. It was still a mess in there, of co...

Chapter 502 – Without laying a few eggs

The Violet wasp had obviously laid countless eggs in her life, since populating the hive was one of her most important responsibilities. Naturally, she had to be quite experienced at this – at the very least, there was no doubt in Percy’s mind that producing a Starry Breeder’s egg was downr...

Chapter 501 – Can’t make a familiar

The elemental body conveyed the human’s findings to the Queen, her giant frame sagging slightly with disappointment as a result.

‘Is there nothing you can do?’ the creature asked in a tired, shaky voice.

‘Not with these eggs,’ Micky shook his head. ‘H...

Chapter 500 – Mutual goal

Percy didn’t need the Queen to complete her explanation to know what she had in mind – her meaning was already clear. As luck would have it, the two had actually wanted the same thing all along! If only she’d told him the last time he was here – instead of trying to have her children kidn...

Chapter 499 – The vilest sin

Percy had no idea what the Queen meant by those words, though he didn’t rush her for an explanation. Luckily, the colossal bug didn’t keep him waiting for too long.

‘One of your people broke the ancient pact between my kind and yours, placing both sides at great risk.’

Chapter 498 – Starry Queen

One thing was for certain: after today, Percy would never look at a bug the same way again.

The creature standing before him towered over the largest buildings he’d seen on Remior, save perhaps for Phoebe’s temple at the foot of the Oracle Mountain, or the headquarters of the noble Hous...

Chapter 496 – Dead Winter Elemental

‘We’ll need a lot of mana to test the new mutation’s effects,’ they realized.

Taking a few deep breaths, they gathered the colourful motes in the cavern closer, the particles taking on a grey hue as they transformed into dancing flames, long ribbons and a violent snowstorm....

Chapter 494 – Ethereal entity

At first, they weren’t sure how they were meant to navigate between their two bodies, though they guessed that the most obvious solution would involve fiddling with their cord – assuming that they still had one. Searching for the connection in its usual spot on their chest, they soon found so...

[B5 START] Chapter 493 – Identity

Once again, they found themselves at a strange place. At first, they thought this was another alien world – perhaps one of their clones had claimed a new body.

They soon realized that this couldn’t be the case. After all, they didn’t remember the journey to this planet, nor the proces...

[B4 END] Chapter 492 – Devil (2)

Deimos rolled to the side just in time to avoid getting flattened like a bug beneath the giant talon, thick plates of stone flipping as the earth split under the crow’s bulk. A second talon descended almost immediately after, though he luckily managed to avoid it too, the shockwave sending him ...

Chapter 491 – Devil (1)

A/N: Due to popular demand, and because I hate watching you guys squirm (well, sometimes xD), I'm posting the last two chapters of Book 4 early.

491 (this one) was supposed to come out tomorrow (Tuesday) and 492 on Wednesday, so you can wait to read them then if you prefer....

View Post

Chapter 490 – Death

A/N: I’ve decided not to leave you guys hanging on such a sour note, but keep in mind that this is tomorrow’s chapter, so if you don’t want to wait another 42 hours then you can choose to read this tomorrow. Up to you.

Chapter 489 – Escape to the Vault

“That’s the one! The horrified expression I’ve waited so long to see!” Deimos exclaimed, his gleeful voice slamming into Percy along with a wave of Violet mana and ink-coloured willpower, piercing through his damaged ears like a series of needles.

Percy was sent fly...

Chapter 488 – Sixth Parade

Lifeless figures attacked Deimos from every direction, though Percy and Micky kept their distance for the time being, intent on fighting more cautiously.

The Blue handled the situation just as well as before, dodging the charging phantoms with ease, still not drawing even a drop of mana fro...

Chapter 487 – Return to the Fungal Spire

Percy took a deep breath, spending a moment to appreciate the familiar feeling of the colourful motes flowing toward him. It was hard to gauge their exact impact on his regeneration when his reserves were already full, but he estimated he could convert the ambient mana to his own affinities twent...

Chapter 486 – Symphony

As Percy and his companions approached the Spire, the groups of Blues barring his path grew more and more frequent. Clearly, his pursuers had already started converging toward the region, having probably been informed by their superiors about Percy’s movements. Percy was torn between rushing ah...

Chapter 485 – Conductor

‘I don’t really know your father outside of that one memory of him that we’ve watched together but… from what little I have seen, I’m sure that he would’ve been very proud of you,’ the clone said upon noticing his host’s elation. The crow nodded contentedly, the ...
