This chapter took me so long. I had to go through 70 chapters and double check if information was correct. Turned out I missed out on a few things before. Namely Arthur's title that he received in the Locus Above and Beyond. I also had his agility calculated wrong.

It took Arthur an embarrassingly long time to calm down and he was glad no one was around to see him celebrating. Being the Originator of a new species, he had to maintain some dignity at least. Still, if Arthur had ever had a reason to be happy, it was now.
Arthur stood on his front porch and watched Kazi Alukai's retreating back. The man had stayed for an additional five minutes after handing him Earth's Blessing before the planet apparently became too impatient with him dallying for so good. Turned out Primes were just as overwork...
2025-02-13 23:45:18 +0000 UTC View PostThe room was silent after Kazi Alukai’s revelation. The Prime stared at Arthur intently, waiting to see how he’d react to the news. Three days and the Origin Hunt would begin in full. Arthur should have probably been a lot more worried than he currently felt. Had the saf...
2025-02-12 01:38:08 +0000 UTC View PostIn the end, it took Arthur two and a half days to reach his target of five million credits and not the entirety of the week like he'd expected. He’d also had to sell far fewer than he predicted, six-hundred and forty to be exact and not the thousands he’d feared. It was all because of the not...
2025-02-05 23:56:49 +0000 UTC View PostNeed a little help from my readers. What's the name of the Galactic Empire that Earth falls under. I know I've mentioned it once or twice- I even remember getting a comment saying that the names weren't consistent between chapters- but I cannot for the life of me remember the name. I've searched ...
2025-01-31 21:20:22 +0000 UTC View PostDisclaimer- The following chapter may be a little gorier than the usual. It's nothing too crazy but I thought it'd be best just to give you a heads up. If you think it's a little excessive and needs to be dialled back, feel free to let me know in the comments and I'll take your suggestions into c...
2025-01-29 00:52:06 +0000 UTC View PostThe first step Arthur needed to take to fulfill his new goal was to obtain an official alchemy license. To create a soul splinter, Arthur required a lot of System credits- at least five million if he was being conservative, which was four more than he currently owned. As much as he might dislike ...
2025-01-24 23:55:42 +0000 UTC View PostBy the time Arthur was finishing up with his final set of ingredients, he'd managed to get the strength boost from 15% all the way up to 19%, a smidgen shy of raising the base elixir's standard effect by 100%. It was an incredible achievement and one he could attribute to his increasing skill wit...
2025-01-23 01:42:46 +0000 UTC View PostTen minutes after creating his first elixir, Arthur was ready to start pulling his hair out in frustration. Putting a product on the System store for sale was proving far more difficult than buying something. For starters, he'd had to make a basic seller account, which cost a flat fee of 1,000 cr...
2025-01-17 23:26:08 +0000 UTC View PostEver since Arthur had come to England, he'd had way too much free time and very little to do with it. Joining the Guild of Fringe Walkers didn't really change that. Unless things took a drastic change for the worse, Arthur was allowed to choose which hours he wanted to work or if he wanted to wor...
2025-01-15 01:23:49 +0000 UTC View Post"A Fringe Walker? What's that?" Arthur asked.
"Well, they're incredibly rare so I'm not surprised you haven't heard of them. People who enter invasion points are usually one of two types, fighters or supports, though, at the end of the day, their jobs are the same. They are the Defe...
2025-01-10 21:49:15 +0000 UTC View PostEdward Agroth looked around at the people gathered in Noteworth Park. There were well over three hundred potential recruits, though half of them already had a mark of failure on their auras. He couldn't begrudge them for trying again; he would have done the same if he were in their position. His ...
2025-01-07 20:06:39 +0000 UTC View PostHappy new year. Worked hard to get a chapter out today. Start the new year on a good foot.

"Good morning," Arthur said.
He didn't know how many times he'd returned the greeting today, or what was particularly good ...
2025-01-01 00:49:02 +0000 UTC View PostChapter 1 of Book 5
Rain poured from the sky, cold heavy droplets that washed the world of joy, hope and all things pleasant. The sun shone brightly beyond the cloud cover, yet the frigid temperature mocked its attempts to warm the land. As far as British weather went, it was a perfe...
2024-12-26 00:28:35 +0000 UTC View PostThis is the final chapter of book 4.
Chapter begin->
Iris' departure had left Arthur stranded in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean with no land in sight. He had no idea which direction to travel in and the fake land he was currently standing on was minutes away from di...
2024-12-17 23:59:01 +0000 UTC View PostThe realm is dying. The words hung in the air like a weighted blanket, stiffing further conversation. There was an element of unreality to it as if those specific words strung together didn't make any sense. Arthur didn't even know why he was reacting so strongly to the revelation. The r...
2024-12-14 00:38:45 +0000 UTC View PostArthur stared at the orc-shaped void in front of him with a complicated expression on his face. The world around it almost seemed less real... Fragile even. Iris' attack had met the tier-1 limits Arthur had once faced and then bulldozed through it as if it didn't exist. As durable as Arthur was, ...
2024-12-11 23:35:01 +0000 UTC View PostA cornered beast always proved the most dangerous. In their final moments, all limitations were removed as they were whittled down to the most basic desire of every living creature; the simple goal of survival. Whilst Arthur was no hunter, he was intimately familiar with the failure brought on by...
2024-12-06 00:03:13 +0000 UTC View PostApologies for the chapter delay. I was extremely busy getting the second book ready for publication. As of now, it's been submitted to amazon for review and will hopefully be available for pre-order sometime in the next few days. The official release date is set for the 26th of December, the day ...
2024-12-02 23:31:49 +0000 UTC View PostArthur had promised himself that no one would die today. They had made ample preparations for this battle, every member had been hand-picked from across multiple worlds because of their unique abilities. They had not one, but two prodigies who'd gained legendary classes at level 100, one of them ...
2024-11-20 23:59:01 +0000 UTC View PostIn the end, using the new technique Arthur had figured out, it took him a little over six thousand ether to completely heal Ursula's wounds instead of the sixty thousand he'd expected, a vast increase in efficiency at the cost of a little extra time. Healing the beastkin woman had taken him just ...
2024-11-16 23:59:02 +0000 UTC View PostIt took Arthur an embarrassingly long time to get back to his feet. He couldn't be certain, but he'd compare Iris' less-than-perfect teleport ritual to a mundane soldier struck by a flash grenade. For a few seconds, Arthur had been seeing double and had trouble judging distances accurately. It ha...
2024-11-12 23:59:01 +0000 UTC View PostIris’s plan had been simple: send their best scouter to track wherever Frankenstein had ended up on the newly created island. Just because Farrah had dimensionally locked the area, it didn’t mean the skinwalker couldn’t teleport within it. Benjamin and Ursula had been dispatched, the former...
2024-11-10 23:59:00 +0000 UTC View PostUrsula crept over the not-land, grimacing at the strange texture she could feel on the pads of her feet. It felt like a mixture of rubber and rock, a material that practically screamed artificial, and its chemical smell only made things worse. The foliage Bonak had managed to magic into being usi...
2024-11-06 23:59:00 +0000 UTC View PostArthur had let things play out for a while to see what the ghoulish skinwalker would do. He was confident enough in his agility to save anyone if things got dangerous. With such potent magic at its disposal, Arthur was certain he completely dwarfed the creepy monster in terms of physicality. Magi...
2024-11-01 23:59:01 +0000 UTC View PostSorry for the delay with posting. IRL issues that I don't want to disclose online have prevented me from working on my story online. These issues may persist for a while, perhaps up to a month and a half. I'm still up to date with writing my chapters on pen and paper, just having troubles typing ...
2024-10-28 23:59:01 +0000 UTC View PostEther combined with technology was capable of some incredible things when professional magical engineering came into play. The aircraft Arthur was currently in was about as far from modern airliners as you could get, more akin to a spaceship from science fiction, shaped like a giant ball and yet ...
2024-10-12 22:59:00 +0000 UTC View PostNow that Darkstar essence core’s effect had worn off, it was like the universe was bombarding him with the problems he’d managed to run away from for a short while, almost as if it was playing catch up. In the wake of Ayesha’s most recent revelation, he’d been caught up in a flurry of act...
2024-10-07 23:59:54 +0000 UTC View PostArthur immediately understood why people were barred from gaining a second extra general skill slot. Of course, the rarity of a Transcendent item was certainly a factor, but more importantly, even as a soul mage with a significantly larger soul than most, he felt the uncomfortable sensation of so...
