Matt fidgeted with a ball of pure mana as he waited for Liz to finish getting ready. As the focus of the upcoming celebration, there was more attention given to ensuring every last thread was utterly perfect on her garment than Matt and Aster’s combined. H...
2023-08-04 19:00:05 +0000 UTC View PostWanted to give you guys something so here are a few extra bits that were written for the books so they could have an Emp Pov and a worldbuilding Pov.

Matt stretched as he left the teleport hub—spaceship travel around the Capital was regulated enough that it was faster and easier to make the jump from Wandering Fallows through the regular teleports than to sort out the paperwork—and looked up into the sky.

Matt floated in the void of space and blinked at the black hole in front of him. It bore down on his Concept like it was trying to remove its polar opposite from the realm. Which it sort of was. A true black hole wasn’t the weak construct that Minkalla had made as a test, beat...

Zack allowed the tapestry of mana to swirl around him, pushing with his Talent as he pulled from the array beneath his feet. He’d always had to be so cautious with his mana usage and how much he could truly experiment, but now he had a higher m...

That combined with this chapter should hopefully make it more clear what is going on with the convoluted rules. Yeah I get they are rules made up by me but they weren't made up so this could happen....

Matt was browsing possible ways to infiltrate the local Sect strongholds with Liz when the entire planet seemed to rock. He initially thought it was an earthquake and nothing to really worry about, but that notion was ruthlessly crushed when the PlanetNet erupted with...

Once they had hit the four oldest sects and marked the Tier 15s inside with tracking runes, Matt had expected the spies to lead them to bases or meet up with someone in command, but he was disappointed.
The Tier 15s went to their registered homes and called loca...

As much as Matt wanted to keep delving back to back, he knew that wasn’t possible. Ventillyria had a serious problem with the Sect influence creeping into the local culture.
While they were still waiting for their newly purchased delve slots to open up, the th...

Matt’s first glimpse of Ventillyria was not what he expected. The way Luna had described the planet, he had expected a only semi-settled world, but the Tier 22 world was teaming with humanity to a degree that rivaled any other well-established world.
He was doubly surpri...

Matt and Liz rushed forward to go and meet up with Aster, who he could feel approaching them. She had most certainly skipped the lines and identity checks given the speed she was moving, which would result in a number of fines, but he really didn’t care about that r...

With the healing cooldown mostly dissipated, Matt, Liz, and Luna left the system in Matt’s ship. With three full-sized adults, things were a little more cramped than Matt was accustomed to, but it wasn’t actually that bad, even with everyone in human form.

Aperology on a planet without an essence core was not as easy as just slapping down a boundary formation and adding mana, but that was why Matt was looking forward to it. Without both ambient mana and essence, things became far more complicated.
