A giant bird was gliding over the lush forest, close enough for the rustling canopies below to be heard. The whistling gales rushing against its plumage did cover the sound somewhat, but they didn’t impede its movement all that much. If one paid close attention, they’d notice that the wind pa...

Only now – after having “fought” the woman for several mind-numbing days – did Percy bother to study her appearance. He had no idea what p...

“Not quite. Remember that this isn’t a physical world.” Nephthys explained. “I did produce that thing you mentioned during my ascension. It was useless for me, so I gave it to my subordinates. It seemed to help them develop their magic, ...
2025-09-04 06:00:05 +0000 UTC View PostPercy and his host had decided to try and keep the second domain and the enchanted swords secret for as long as they could. Kassorith’s all-out attack wasn’t that hard to avoid once their opponent knew it was coming, so they understood they couldn’t keep relying on it. Still, they hoped it ...
2025-09-03 06:01:02 +0000 UTC View PostPercy flashed her a questioning look, prompting her to continue.
“If I’ve understood this correctly, you activated your bloodline twice the last time you created a familiar. The first time had been to possess your friend in his original world, and to subsequently bring his soul back to ...

2025-09-02 06:00:07 +0000 UTC View PostColours rippled faintly through the square tiles, the runes softly pulsating at set intervals. The floor was made of reinforced materials and further enchanted on top of that. It was clearly designed to withstand – or at least undo in real time – the damage caused by Violet-level spells.

It wasn’t like Percy had slacked back home. He had already incorporated his new ability into his runecrafting, elevating it to the next level. As soon as his clone had returned ...
2025-08-31 06:01:01 +0000 UTC View PostRushing to the third floor, Percy couldn’t help but lament the monotonous environment of the pyramid.
‘It would have been a lot easier to keep myself awake if I didn’t have to stare at the same red stone all the time…’
Sighing, he examined the walls along the perime...

That was the best word to describe Kassorith’s attack.
Countless glowing blades pelted the ground with the speed of lightning bolts, leaving trails of twisted air still crackling with electricity in their wake. The constructs shattered on impact, flashes of light, boomi...

2025-08-30 06:00:05 +0000 UTC View Post‘Have you any idea what you’ve done?!’ Kassorith snapped once they were alone. ‘He’s going to gut us alive if you fail to deliver!’
Percy shrugged. ‘No. Just you – he can’t get to my guts. So, you’d better start training.’ 2025-08-29 06:01:01 +0000 UTC View Post
In every world Percy had been to, potions were considered secondary products of alchemy – far inferior to the cultivation resources people used to cleanse their cores and advance to the higher grades. Part of it was due to the sheer importance of elixirs. After all, very few things could compet...
2025-08-29 06:00:05 +0000 UTC View PostAs soon as Kassorith stepped into the cavern leading toward his master’s residence, Percy felt the ambient mana grow even thicker. The air outside had already been about twice as rich as Remior’s, but it climbed by another thirty to forty percent in here. It was a modest improvement, yet one ...
2025-08-28 06:01:02 +0000 UTC View PostPercy was, admittedly, a little bummed out that he hadn’t found a door leading out of the pyramid yet. He’d already mostly explored its outer walls while descending through the corridors, and it didn’t seem there was an exit at its base either. It appeared that his only chance would be to f...
2025-08-28 06:00:05 +0000 UTC View PostPercy had more questions, but he didn’t get a chance to voice them. Diving toward one of the shorter pillars jutting out of the clouds, his host landed on a less-crowded spot near the edge, carelessly tossing the greatsword into the depths behind him.
This place seemed to be some kind of ...

Part of him wanted to question whether it was even real air he was inhaling, but he had bigger things to worry about. For the first time since his original meeting with Sol, he found himself trapped, not even having the option...

Willing all the controlled preservation runes to deactivate, he instantly slowed his host’s recovery speed to a crawl, but he didn’t stop there. Percy’s soul squirmed and shifted, ov...

Strictly speaking, this person’s injuries weren’t that serious – they had barely crossed the threshold of lethality, and they didn’t seem to be worsening very fast either. Whatever calamity had befallen the poor reside...
