‘Do we fight or ignore them?’ Micky asked as the quartet of Blues loomed ahead.
Even from hundreds of metres away, the enemy mages’ faces appeared solemn – the poor bastards clearly understood the level of danger they were in, but their superiors had probably left them no c...
2025-10-14 06:01:01 +0000 UTC View PostPercy didn’t even flinch as the grey needle pierced his skin for the thousandth time that day, injecting the green fluid into his body. Only when he was done drawing the fifteenth leaf on his lower forearm did he take a short break to catch his breath, carefully examining the tattoo. It was sha...
2025-10-13 06:01:01 +0000 UTC View PostPercy wanted to study the new entry some more, but he could do that after commencing the second ritual, to save time. Getting out of the vat, he crafted a new container with Micky’s help, filling it with fresh seawater.
He wasn’t above dumping the contents of the last one in the ocean, ...

2025-10-11 14:51:31 +0000 UTC View PostThe Heartblood was naturally the first of the ingredients to take effect. It gave the saltwater a faint reddish hue, causing it to bubble violently. Entering Percy’s body, it made his heart beat faster, the rapid throbs echoing in his ears reminding him of his trollsfury potion. Only, the ritua...
2025-10-11 06:01:02 +0000 UTC View Post‘I’m sorry you had to go through all of that,’ Percy said once he was back on his familiar’s neck.
Dealing with the three Blues hadn’t been that difficult after taking their leader out. Percy and Micky had already cleaned up the battlefield, feeding the four mana cores to...

The appearance of Micky’s boosting art had changed greatly after replacing the common mana types with the equivalent flavours of ice mana.
The Circulation patterns on his plumage had remained almost identical because the liquid and gaseous vari...
2025-10-09 06:01:01 +0000 UTC View PostMore dancing phantoms formed, the assassin struggling to locate the real Percy amidst the chaos.
Unfortunately, even with the soul mana and his boosting art doing a lot of the work for him, there was a limit to the number of constructs Percy could maintain at once. His priority was to preve...
2025-10-08 06:01:02 +0000 UTC View PostIn theory, Micky could fly much faster than the three lackeys, though shaking them off proved impossible. The problem was the space user, who clearly had no trouble keeping up with the crow.
Percy and his familiar had yet to actually see the man, but the insidious black lines never...
2025-10-07 06:01:01 +0000 UTC View PostPercy’s heart skipped a beat as he read the notification. Not wasting time, he pulled up his Status, his gaze landing on the relevant section.

2025-10-06 06:01:05 +0000 UTC View PostIt had been over a year since Percy read – or skimmed, really – the information in Nephthys’s Sanctuary. Luckily, he’d long burned the key points to his memory, eagerly waiting for a chance to put them to practice. He would have started months ago, of course, if perfecting his Cloak hadnâ...
2025-10-05 06:01:01 +0000 UTC View PostReading his spell list, Percy couldn’t help but crack a smile, some pride welling up in his chest as he took a moment to absorb the recent changes.

Percy groaned as the spinning shards slammed onto his chest, grinding against the shirt. The fabric tensed, countless tiny runes flaring up near the impact area, robbing the constructs of most of their momentum and preventing Micky’s attack from piercing through. Still, the blow sent Percy slid...
2025-10-03 06:01:02 +0000 UTC View PostTaking a break from weaving, Percy allowed his consciousness to drift into his familiar’s head, following his companions’ latest efforts. The crow had made significant progress with his boosting art, the Masterful spell now getting close to its most impressive upgrade yet.
The clone mai...
2025-10-02 06:01:01 +0000 UTC View PostA rush of memories accompanied every painful throb in Percy’s head. His trip to Thess’kala hadn’t been his longest, but it had been densely packed with excitement, important knowledge and high-stakes battles. At least he’d grown a lot better at assimilating his clones, so he managed to wr...
2025-10-01 06:01:01 +0000 UTC View PostPercy clicked his tongue in annoyance upon sensing the disturbance in the cord. He’d been expecting the clone to return at some point – since he’d been gone for a while – but interrupting his work was always unpleasant.
‘Oh well… I suppose I was going to scrap this batch any...
2025-09-30 06:01:02 +0000 UTC View Post‘If I’m lucky, she’s buried in a ditch somewhere…’ Machaon thought before shaking his head.
Technically, nobody had seen Nesha since before Percy’s infiltration of the Thirsty Valley, so there was a slim chance that she was dead. Perhaps, one of the Red-born’...
2025-09-29 06:01:03 +0000 UTC View PostThe sun had already set by the time Machaon left his garden. He flew toward his family’s grand estate at a leisurely pace – leisurely for him, at least. Anyone below Violet would have found the rush of wind difficult to endure, yet Machaon barely registered it as it crashed against the thin f...

Unfolding part of his domain, he blocked the gentle breeze disturbing the pond’s surface, forcing the water to still. Using the clear liquid as a mirror, he examined his face, noticing a few undue creases on...
2025-09-27 06:01:02 +0000 UTC View Post‘There’s no point resisting, Percy,’ Kassorith said, a mental sigh faintly echoing through their muted connection. ‘To tell you the truth, I didn’t want to double cross you this time. Sadly, it’s no longer up to me. You sealed your fate when you revealed your existence to...
2025-09-26 06:01:01 +0000 UTC View PostFlying through the sea of clouds, Kassorith couldn’t help but toss the occasional glance at the amethyst badge pinned to his tunic, on the side opposite his spatial device. It was only half the size of his palm, the deep, purple gemstone cut into a pentagonal shape, the faint outline of a clawe...
2025-09-25 06:01:02 +0000 UTC View PostBefore long, a new flock of enchanted weapons hovered silently by Kassorith’s side. Percy and his host had spent several minutes replenishing their reserves and replacing the constructs with the new model, their body almost paralyzed completely by the time they were done. Suffice to say, they w...
2025-09-24 06:01:01 +0000 UTC View PostSeeing the first of the small houses appear on the horizon, Elaine exhaled in relief. It had been around two months since they’d left the Valley, but they’d finally made it back to the Camelot province.
They’d completed the trip much faster than the last time, too. Elaine’s higher g...
2025-09-24 06:00:02 +0000 UTC View PostKassorith’s eighth fight was strange, but also rather straightforward. His opponent simply stood in the centre of the arena, unarmed and unmoving. A single powerful spell – or even a well-placed slash of Kassorith’s enhanced claws – would have been enough to win Percy and his host the bat...
2025-09-23 06:01:02 +0000 UTC View PostSitting on Micky’s back, Percy was preparing the ingredients for his mana threads as he paid the clone some attention. After seeing the latter make some tangible progress with the new mana type, he’d started sending him soul mana to accelerate the process.
Another week had passed since ...

His host’s metal mana was among his favourites, offering many advantages over his own pure mana. In fact, Percy didn’t think he could use his new trick without it – be it the original Instantaneous Imprint s...
2025-09-22 06:01:01 +0000 UTC View PostThe clone exhaled in relief as Micky flipped over the Blue’s corpse, pecking out his core – and a large chunk of his crumbling soul with it.
The man’s high-speed regeneration had been annoying to deal with, but overpowering him had only been a matter of time. After all, the mage had p...

It was difficult to make out any of the blurry details, but he still caught traces of pain in the woman’s expression and caution in her stance as he spoke.

2025-09-21 06:01:02 +0000 UTC View PostA grey streak shot through the battlefield, bouncing from platform to platform around the earth mage. It was naturally Percy, who took advantage of his higher mobility to dodge all his opponent’s attacks.
Domain blasts and stone constructs of all shapes and sizes fell everywhere, leaving ...
