When Arthur left the Territory of Blood, he wasn't surprised to see that Ayesha and Iris were already waiting for him. He'd expected the seer to seek him out, and he was a little flattered that she'd done so so fast. She must have dropped everything to get here in less than 15 minutes. <...
2024-09-24 22:59:00 +0000 UTC View PostTo call Arthur's final attack overkill was the understatement of the century. His spear hit a momentary snag when it hit the vampire's chest and a green flash of protection charm breaking later, his weapon pierced through flesh and into Ishaya’s heart. That's when his channelled attack detonate...
2024-09-23 00:04:07 +0000 UTC View PostArthur stood outside the Territory of Blood. It was far too early for him to be returning to this place in his opinion but life never followed his plans. He wasn’t certain what had happened here over the last few days, but something had definitely gone wrong because all the guards Ayesha had se...
2024-09-22 23:50:29 +0000 UTC View PostHell’s rising was a land of ice drenched in the magic of undeath, formed by an invading lich-queen who sought to establish dominion over Earth. It spanned over seventy kilometres and was teeming with millions of fell abominations, the results of the formerly deceased mixed with unnatural alchem...
2024-09-14 22:59:00 +0000 UTC View PostFollowing the discovery of what his domain would possibly one day be able to accomplish, Arthur engaged in a number of follow-up experiments. The vast majority of them ended in failure and he never again attempted something so drastic as taking control of the hivemind’s energy pools, but Arthur...

2024-08-22 22:15:09 +0000 UTC View PostFirst of all, I'd like to apologise to everyone for not releasing any chapters over the past few weeks. I'm sure you must have all noticed by now, at least if you've seen the story on RoyalRoad, but this novel will be getting published very soon if things go according to plan. As such, I've been ...
2024-08-19 02:07:19 +0000 UTC View PostArthur sent barrage after barrage of water bullets at the massive spider, watching in fascination as it returned fire, hijacking his magic in a grand display of space magic mastery. Whatever stat Control was, Wovan had a shit ton of it, accurately calculating the exact timin...
2024-07-16 22:59:01 +0000 UTC View PostArthur was a little stumped with how he’d go about fighting such a massive creature. For starters, though, he invested the remaining stats he had left over from his last level-up. He wouldn't be making the mistake of forgetting them again. In the end, he decided to go with a tried and tested op...
2024-07-11 22:59:01 +0000 UTC View PostIn the end, Arthur had to wait an agonising seven minutes before the dimensional incursion showed any signs of breaking. In its final moments, the chaotic forces acting on the area were so deadly they would have outright killed anyone with less than a thousand constitution. Arthu...
2024-07-09 22:59:01 +0000 UTC View PostTyrone stalked through the underbrush, eyes fixated on the mountain lion he'd stalked for the past half hour. His team crept behind him, their lack of stealth made up for by the expensive consumables used for this hunt. It erased all traces of their scent and made the sounds they made considerabl...
2024-07-02 22:59:00 +0000 UTC View PostIris watched the pot of water boil over the stove and quickly turned down the heat. Opening the lid, she added a few choice herbs and spices to the now simmering water and let it steep for two minutes. She strained the water into a porcelain cup and stirred it in a figure of eight, watching caref...

I don't really have much of an excuse beyond the fact that I was getting burned out and finding it difficult to write. I've gotten back into the groove and planned out the next arc so things should be fine now.

2024-06-25 22:59:01 +0000 UTC View PostIris glared at the automaton before her. It had the marks of Cyrus’ craftsmanship all over it and she knew just how expensive they were to purchase. Lady Sleyca had forked over a fortune just to make a statement during their short meeting. As far as dick-measuring contests went, it was a decent...
2024-06-11 22:59:01 +0000 UTC View PostArthur stood right in front of Iris, so close he could feel the natural heat her body gave off. His clothes were a mess of burns and gore, soaked through with the blood of battle, they positively reeked. Iris didn’t notice anything. He gulped dryly. The Darkstar Essence Core wa...
2024-06-04 22:59:00 +0000 UTC View PostArthur watched the changing scenery around him. With the death of all the bloodbeasts, the territory of blood had been reduced to a shadow of its former strength, though it still held sway over the land. It had been cut down to just over half its former size, with a diameter of exactly 842 metres...
2024-05-30 22:59:01 +0000 UTC View PostThe territory of blood was brightened beyond anything the land had ever seen as if dawn had come early and lit the world anew. Iris had tried and failed to set up a ritual to block the light show Ashley Rhye had become, but for one reason or the other, her rituals didn’t function. Judging from ...
2024-05-29 00:38:38 +0000 UTC View PostArthur wasn’t sure if his upgraded healing required touch to work or not, but he didn’t want to take any chances. Thankfully, Ashley Rhye didn’t raise a fuss when he placed a hand on her shoulder. The woman's flesh was disgusting to touch, a rotted mess of red muscle and pulsating veins tha...
2024-05-21 22:59:00 +0000 UTC View PostArthur stood in front of Ashley Rhye; The failed blood beast with Iris beside him. The poor woman was by all means dead to the world, her only concern being the wailing babe stuck inside her stomach. It was a disturbing sight to see, even compared to some of the more grotesq...
2024-05-16 22:59:01 +0000 UTC View PostSince its creation, the Territory of Blood had been in a constant state of change. An ugly place of fetid water and undead abominations, the very air was a caustic poison to all things living. Right now, however, it wasn't doing so well. The territory had shrunk dramatically...
2024-05-13 22:59:01 +0000 UTC View PostThe Hydra's revenge was suspended in mid-air, held in place by what Arthur suspected was gravity magic, as its body was repeatedly crushed and destroyed, parts of its flesh rapidly decaying whilst others were covered with tumorous lumps that leaked necrotic puss. Arthur didn't know how exactly th...
2024-05-07 22:59:00 +0000 UTC View PostIris watched the fight play out in slow motion, as time seemed to almost freeze under her deep concentration. Ayesha's golden chain went flying at the beast's skull, an aerial attack made in conjunction with Arthurs's grand assault. People tended to overestimate her seer abilities, she couldn’t...
2024-05-02 22:59:01 +0000 UTC View PostEver since Arthur had left the locus of power, things had gone poorly. From bad to terrible to downright catastrophic, it was like he’d been the but of some massive cosmic joke. He could only hope that the punchline had finally been served. With the ascended blood beast now named The Hy...
2024-04-30 22:59:00 +0000 UTC View PostArthur's body jerked as his momentum was halted by Ayesha's golden chains and he was rapidly pulled into their protection barrier. All around them, all he could see was an ocean of green flames, the sheer quantity of poisonous ether he'd released manifesting in the most expressive form of energy ...

2024-04-09 23:29:10 +0000 UTC View PostI have some very annoying news.
Long story short, I've found out that my story has been stolen and posted on other websites. That's not a big deal in and of itself. I knew that was happening a long time ago and I didn't really mind at all. It wasn't that deep and was par the coarse of...
2024-03-22 00:45:25 +0000 UTC View PostAyesha had told him that attacking the black orb was useless but that didn’t stop him from trying. Perhaps she underestimated how powerful a Soul Armament truly was. Turned out Arthur was overestimating himself. Arthur’s water-shot spear hit the orb with the sound o...

Now, night rapidly approached and the ominous skyline was tinged a dark crimson red. The sun’s setting was only half responsible for the eerie sight. Unbeknownst to Arthur, the vampires had establi...
2024-03-15 01:19:44 +0000 UTC View PostAyesha Murker was a minute away from Arthur’s house when she felt it. An arrogant aura of power and dominion descended upon her like the wrathful gaze of an apex predator. There was no finesse to it, no specifity, almost as if the creature didn’t deem her worthy of any attention. What is ...
