"He becomes nothing more than a beast, starved for blood. I tried to quell that nature, but it's quite engraved in him." Draven sighed.
"Your madness is starting to influence him," Remulus looked to have grown more wrinkles. "Still, what other weaknesses does this demon state have? Becoming...

"So this demon state–" Remulus cleaned out the rest of the snacks, making Draven clench his fist in frustration. "How does it work? What exactly changes about the boy?"
Draven slammed the table, scattering the empty plates and cups before they turned into dust. After this outburst, he sig...
2023-02-03 03:57:29 +0000 UTC View PostOrden's hammer rained down on Oscar and his deer anima like endless lighting strikes under a thunderstorm. Using his 'Flowing Mountain', Oscar mitigated as such of the heavy twenty-multiplied hammer strikes and shot forward with his 'Silver Lance' at Orden's exposed chest.
However, as befor...
2023-02-02 17:48:24 +0000 UTC View Post"The winner is Orden Aesn," Gol-4 announced, but Orden and Oscar did not react with the winner's enthusiasm and the loser's distress. Orden put away his hammer and held his hand toward Oscar, and Oscar returned the handshake with a nod. From the beginning, they both had an idea of who was better,...
2023-02-02 04:34:34 +0000 UTC View Post"Then I will stand by as the judge." Gol-4 nudged Oscar to place on one of the anvils and faced Orden, who had changed into his fabricator uniform.
Orden suddenly laughed and turned to Oscar, his eyes covered by the black glass visor. "I am shaking with anticipation. We will not craft armam...
2023-02-01 19:14:36 +0000 UTC View Post"Are you a moron?" Oscar's obsidian eyes reflected the light of the glowing foundry district surrounding him, but to Orden, it looked like a piercing gaze full of power threatening him slightly. "I still have to look for one more friend. I don't have time for this."
Orden stared down at Osc...
2023-02-01 04:00:02 +0000 UTC View PostOscar stabbed his powerful silver lance into the beating forest heart, exerting his shattering wave to carry on and destroy it from the inside. At the same time, Orden swung his hammer down vertically with all his might, multiplied by twenty, and sent in his earthen echoes for the same reason as ...
2023-01-31 21:22:49 +0000 UTC View Post"We're screwed," Erik stated without hesitation, as if the future was set in stone.
"I agree this is reckless, but sometimes you must go for it." Orden swung his two hammers, meeting them in the center to meld into one. He juggled it around his wrist a few times to warm up. He had a wild sm...
2023-01-31 05:20:55 +0000 UTC View PostThe moment Oscar stepped onto the new district of Tectusen, he saw a blaze of flames sprouting from his friend, Erik, coming from the constant swirling of his gauntlet anima. Flames continued to build until they became an inferno that threatened to destroy everything. Feeling the heat and worried...
2023-01-30 19:55:16 +0000 UTC View PostOscar dug his feet and hands into the ground to stop himself from being dragged down by Orden's sheer weight. He could feel the overused muscles of his trembling arm tearing as he held tight onto Orden's wrist. The darkness of the chasm below was still blatant in Oscar's distorted and fading visi...
2023-01-30 04:18:59 +0000 UTC View PostOscar knew from an instant that this large Grovekeeper had incredible physical power, not just because of how it tore down the platforms but also how easily it flicked off Orden's hammer, which should have been heavier due to Orden's spell, and his bulwark which had a vast amount of Reis in its a...
2023-01-29 16:00:04 +0000 UTC View Post"Gol-4, look at this," Oscar pulled out Gol-4 to show him the large mine shaft that reached up like a tower to a new area. The place above should surely be another district of Tectusen since they had walked on the same level the entire time. The chamber below resembled the bottom of the Ataer Pit...
2023-01-29 04:00:02 +0000 UTC View PostGol-4's words were, as usual, devoid of emotion, but they irritated Oscar and Orden as more creatures stabbed out from the walls. Naturally, Gol-4 did not possess the up-to-date knowledge, but Oscar felt the golem didn't need to be so direct and potentially sarcastic about it. However, he quickly...
2023-01-28 17:00:05 +0000 UTC View PostGol-4's warning snatched Oscar's attention for a brief moment and lowered his guard, and right nearby, an immobile purple vine, cut off from one of the spiders, sprang up and popped into the air. The wriggling and writhing plant shot toward Oscar's face, and he beheld its strange and unsettling n...
2023-01-28 03:56:53 +0000 UTC View PostAccording to Gol-4's summary from earlier, Tectusen, the Underground City of Stonehaven, was built as a deep place with a connection to the earth, true to the Divine Stone Clan's namesake. The central palace in the inner region was the most important place in Stonehaven, but Tectusen did not lose...
2023-01-27 15:52:02 +0000 UTC View PostDroplets of water trickled down the ceiling and fell on Oscar's face, which twitched and began to show reactions to the sudden stimuli after hours of being like stone. Oscar slowly opened his eyes, looking like two thin slits, and could only see darkness, not the darkness from losing his mind, bu...
2023-01-27 04:17:31 +0000 UTC View PostThe Meld Stage was the second stage of the anima in which the anima fused into an armament or beast, revealing a new realm of power and potential that an Exalt could only dream of. Even more promising was that it wasn't restricted by grade or realm but mainly seen in older Exalts, who've had deca...
2023-01-26 15:49:52 +0000 UTC View PostWithin the unending sandstorm encompassing the marshes, ruining the fragile tranquility of the environment, countless sparks brightened up only to be choked out by the obscurity of the sands. These sparks came from the exchanges between Oscar and Orden, Oscar's bulwark and deer anima scraped agai...
2023-01-26 04:00:02 +0000 UTC View PostThe gray hammer floated between Oscar and the stranger; Oscar could feel the Ein around the hammer, indicating it was a hammer anima, one from a grade-seven Exolsia. Then the gray hammer flew back into the hands of the stranger who tried to ambush him, a tall and muscular man with a large frame t...
2023-01-25 16:49:17 +0000 UTC View PostA wide breeze encompassed the outer region of Ashen Grove, flowing through and tickling the leaves on top of the great trees of the grove. The forests let out a whistling noise in response that permeated the area, adding to the slow, tranquil, and stagnant environment. Rivers of water flowed unde...
2023-01-25 04:00:01 +0000 UTC View PostUnder Oscar's call, the bodiless golem woke up with a blue glow emanating from its eyes. Gol-4 trembled slightly in Oscar's hands before lifting off and levitating above Oscar's head. Oscar stared cautiously, readying his Ein on his hands, at Gol-4, who did a slow rotation all the way around back...
2023-01-24 18:07:01 +0000 UTC View PostOne light step later, Oscar nearly lost his balance as his legs trembled in an attempt to stay up. He widened his stance to stay standing but did not look too pleased as he reexamined his conditions. Burns laden around 40 percent of his body in agony, a core depleted of Ein and also in pain from ...
2023-01-24 04:00:02 +0000 UTC View Post'Again? No matter how many times you try, it can't get through my snake's flames.' Within the view of her Prinstyct, Maia foresaw the flow of Ein on Oscar's hand, which she had already judged to be his ranged spell. The most annoying part was that Oscar kept out-predicting her as she mov...
2023-01-23 16:50:45 +0000 UTC View PostFlames continued to burn, scattered all over the area, burning away the vines, leaves, and trees to reveal the dark bricks of the ruins. Smoke hissed as the bricks became ash-white like coal, but they remained intact. Surrounded by the fires, scorched earth, and white-hot rocks, Oscar began to sw...
2023-01-23 04:06:21 +0000 UTC View PostMaia glanced at her two guards, dead on the floor. In the moments when her two guards had died, Maia saw nothing through her Prinstyct. The weak fist that landed on her guard's arm became deadly without a single hint or clue as to why, and the second foolishly lost his nerves and could not defend...
2023-01-22 18:04:42 +0000 UTC View PostThe bewitching woman stretched her hand out, unfurling her fingers toward Oscar and the others, and spoke in a charming voice with a hint of pride that did not allow any refusal of her words. Her red eyes shone dangerously as a dense and overwhelming Ein flowed around her body, making Oscar frown...
2023-01-22 04:00:02 +0000 UTC View Post"Hold on!" Erik tugged on Oscar's jacket. "I want to help them too, but how will we get down in time?"
Erik's worry rang true for Oscar, who started tapping on the grass growing atop the branch. The fight below looked to be even, but only because the reds were buying time for their reinforc...
2023-01-21 16:03:20 +0000 UTC View PostAfter Austin and Erik cleared their heads from the aftereffects of being stuck in an illusion, Oscar explained everything about the vault, the illusion, and the war between the Divine Stone Clan and the Forest Heart Clan.
