Heyo, I hope you had fun with the newest chapter! Unfortunately I just did some slight adjusting concerning approximate MP costs for spell tiers, which wouldn't really have affected anything. BUT, sadly I posted chapter 97 2 days ago, which contains the only spell that was affected in it :( ...

It was a month after the void invasion happened and I’d been enjoying my “vacation” by traveling all across the sixth layer. The first thing I’d done was fly as far in one direction as I could until I eventually hit the wall. This section of the sixth layer was massive and it had taken me...

I didn’t move for quite some time after the travelers left, trying to process everything that happened over the course of the last thirty minutes or so. It was hard to get a proper estimate on the time that passed since the void invasion started since it felt like it had gone on forever, but ha...

I didn’t have to wait long for the dreaded spell to impact the volcano I was in. I felt it coming even before I was launched out of the protective shell once again. My HP was dangerously low, everything I’d managed to restore with my restoration spell evaporated like it was a dream. A quick v...

The voidlings screeching pulled me back to reality and reminded me that both of us had, in fact, just fallen into lava. My first reaction was, of course, panic. White hot lava usually isn’t exactly a good thing to be in contact with, as the voidling was so readily demonstrating. Even with its h...

I emerged about a hundred meters in the sky and snapped my wings open, once again activating rush to go just that tiny bit faster. Behind me, the two voidlings were destroying everything that hadn’t already been decimated by the shadow sphere earlier, another shockwave being created every time ...

I awoke to a face full of tree leaves and branches poking me into my side. It took about half a second before I was fully awake and then another second until I was in full panic mode. Not caring about my own safety I used a few poison bombs to completely decimate the tree’s crown, blasting open...

Aight, we back to regular schedule. I know it's been two days since the last chapter, but I didn't want to go through the effort of changing the recurring calendar reminder I have set up, and today was posting day. Again, we're back...

I was traveling to the fifth crater after having visited several others with fruitless trees. In every crater, I would explore, enjoy the sometimes vastly alien greenery, and study my spells while draining the massive trees of their mana to infuse my seed. My mana drain skill had already leveled ...

I had settled in nicely in the crown of the tree, constantly cycling my mana between draining it from the monster and infusing it into my seed. I quickly checked whether I could purchase another node in the magical truth skill tree, but I was short four points and the node I could buy wouldn’t ...

I rushed past a plethora of colors, the vegetation somehow getting more intense the closer I got to the center of the crater. The monsters I passed on the way were ignored as I didn’t want to damage this beautiful place. It would seem like some of the monsters agreed, a few of them seemingly ta...

I was riding the hot air, using the updraft to stay in the air almost indefinitely. Curiously enough, I hadn’t seen any other airborne monsters. On the other layers I’d usually have to avoid or fight something with wings every now and again, but here? The sky was empty, aside from me and the ...

I've managed to write an entire seven chapters ahead, which is something I've been working on for a few months now. Every now and again I just managed to write more and decided that once I'd get to seven I'd do an entire week of chapter posts.
So, starting this Sunday with the regularly sch...

I sneezed as a gust of wind tickled my nose. My eyes were fixated on the cave entrance, awaiting my pack's return. Swaths of snow drifted into the cave as the blizzard outside raged on, making the hunt harder than it needed to be. But surely, this as well, was a test from the lord. Ever since the...

Alright, here's the deal. It is no secret that I despise the formatting options on Patreon, since they are very barebones. I usually do the best I can with what I got to work with, but evolution chapters are better enjoyed with proper formatting, especially this one, since the colors are somewhat...

I threw the giant body of the progenitor into my inventory, once again surprised at the space I had in there. When the progenitor died, the entire room lit up with a magical light, and I could finally see properly again. I took a few moments to go over the fight again. I clearly had the upper han...

I was stunned for a second when I realized that this thing was a tier-six monster. This was worse than a hunter! Hunters usually were layer-appropriate, fully leveled monsters that got some special bonuses. This dungeon boss was essentially a monster from the next layer down. I stared incredulous...

I stood in front of a gigantic door after having spent a stupid amount of time navigating the three floors of the maze. There had been a shit ton of traps, and it only got worse whenever I descended a floor, making my progress slow at best. On the third floor, I’d been advancing so carefully th...

I followed the corridor for a while, the featureless walls glowing an eerie purple due to my void javelins.

I gave my posting schedule some thought. It was mostly just a "when it's done" thing, but I wanted to bring some more consistency into it. At first I thought to do certain weekdays, but with my speed that would mean I'd need to post more or less than I usually do. So eventually I decided on relea...

I spent some time half buried in the muck of the ocean floor to calm down a bit. Having some solid ground below me helped immensely with my admittedly high-strung nerves.

I was cruising at a decently high altitude, afraid that some huge fish might jump up and snatch me out of the air. Whenever I lost too much height, I opened up a new void portal that would take me higher up, repeating the process a few times, until the next island was close enough to examine. I...
