7.03 - Robin I

On most days, after official Tenet classes and any extracurriculars wrapped up, Natalie and her team would head off into the dungeon, assuming they had no other responsibilities. But today, Natalie did have something preventing them from doing so. Her 'mentorship session' with Instructor Robin. 2024-08-12 20:00:05 +0000 UTC View Post

Sick - Chapters will resume next Monday

Hi readers,

I caught some kind of stomach bug and have been out of it for the past few days, so I wasn't able to prepare chapters to schedule this week. I need some time to recover and get back into it.

Posting will return to normal next Monday, sorry! I try to keep a consistent sche...

6.59 - ❤ Lightning II

"If I could have anything?" Zoey asked.

"Within reason," Maddy said. "But yeah. There's a lot to pick from inside this book."

"Firepower," Zoey answered. "Anything hard-hitting, even if it takes longer to cast."

"You'd prefer that, over faster bolts? Weaker ones you could stream...

7.02 - Arrangement

"It's so nice to speak with you again, Natalie," Elida said with a smile. "Have you given my offer due consideration?"

Standing outside the training facility, with other students having headed for the cafeteria. She eyed the red-haired girl. Elida was as pretty as always. She couldn't help ...

7.01 - Rematch

The idea of having morning punishment duties with no concrete end date was something Natalie wasn't thrilled about, but she supposed she deserved it.

To make things worse, her entire team, even Jordan, clearly thought Natalie was receiving her just desserts, even if they were gracious enoug...

6.58 - Lightning I

The d'Celestins unsurprisingly had access to whatever rooms within the Mantle Training Facility they wished, and that privilege extended to their guests. As such, they had little difficulty finding two sparring rooms to practice their abilities in private. Rosalie escorted Zoey and Maddy to their...

6.56 - Consequences II

There were few men and women across Valhaur that held the prestigious title of 'top ranker,' a person who had climbed to the nearly unbelievable height of level fifteen or above, and the Dean of Tenet Academy was, perhaps unsurprisingly, one such woman.

Dean Pemcroft was a woman in middle a...

6.57 - Training Facility IV

"I was wondering when you would grace us with your presence."

Evander was a fair-skinned boy with black hair. He was average height for a man, which meant he stood half a foot taller than Rosalie. Despite that, it seemed like Rosalie was looking down on him as she leveled a cold ex...

6.55 - Consequences

"I didn't do anything," Natalie said. "I told you I wouldn't, didn't I? But, um, Alaina might have done a few things to me."

Jordan gave her perhaps the flattest look in all of existence.

Natalie's ears burned.

"And, um," she continued. "Someone might've found us … I mean, her...

6.56 - Training Facility III

"And you're fourth advancement?" Delta asked. "Dunno how good of a match we'll be, then. Both of us," she waved between Zoey and herself, "got skills that need practice before they're usable, for our fourth advancement. And that happened yesterday, so."

"Ah," Cordelia said. "I see. Neverthe...

6.54 - ❤ The Baron's Daughter IV & V

A/N: Double length chap, so next Friday

There was something indescribably arousing about exposing herself in a dirty alleyway, with minimal to no protection from someone coming to investigate. As much as her heart was pounding because she was finally getting her hands on Natalie, it was tha...

6.55 - Training Facility II

"Fourth?" Honor asked, rearing back in surprise. "Fourth? How? It hasn't been a month!"

There didn't seem to be any doubt in her exclamation; Rosalie wouldn't lie about her advancement. She was too important to be spouting frivolous untruths like that. Instead, Honor's face showed pure disb...

6.53 - ❤ The Baron's Daughter III

She and Natalie barely made it out of the park and back into the city before she couldn't stand it any longer. They'd rushed through the street, each of them flushed with anticipation, and while the original goal had been to make it to the manor and into the privacy of Alaina's own room—she cou...

6.52 - ❤ The Baron's Daughter II

"An exception?" Natalie asked, her lips curling up into a satisfied grin. "Anybody I know?"

"I think you know the answer to that," Alaina breathed, struggling to keep her composure. She bit her lip and blushed. "I blame you, really," she huffed. "For answering the door in that state. You pu...

6.54 - Training Facility I

The Mantle Training Facility was split into three major sections: one for the low rankers, consisting of the first and second advancements, one for the mid-rankers, consisting of the third to fifth advancement, and one for the high rankers, sixth and higher. Of course, the number of sixth advance...

6.51 - The Baron's Daughter

Alaina's stomach had been squirming all day.

Longer than that. Ever since that incident back at The Kraken's Hearth. But it had grown much worse since joining Natalie for the celebration. Being in her presence was intoxicating. Frankly, Alaina was surprised by just ho...

6.53 - Expectations

"Can't we practice somewhere else?" Delta asked. "If our 'public introduction' is gonna be a whole thing we needa prepare for."

"My father encouraged me to do this," Rosalie sighed. "And I mean encouraged in the euphemistic sense. We don't have a choice in the matter. We'l...

6.50 - Quest Finale Festivities

With the quest officially over, Natalie returned to The Kraken's Hearth and took some much-needed relaxation time. Compared to previous fights, she had come out of combat a mess. Exploding a goblin's head with an empowered [Smite] wasn't the cleanest way to finish an opponent. She took a...

6.49 - Last Report

The trip back to Tarenhelm wasn't the most enjoyable of treks. Aches plagued her with every step, and though her ego stung for it, Sofia and Jordan were the ones who ended up dragging the chieftain's corpse with them, not her. She could've handled the task—she was hardly that bad off�...

6.52 - Standby

As they had discussed beforehand, Zoey returned to Delta's room after her chats with Sabina and Adrienne had concluded.

A "come in" ushered her through the door. Inside, she was met with a bizarre sight: the foxgirl facing her shadow-clone, the two of them going through poses, some slow and...

6.48 - Hard Earned Rewards

That inexplicable reservoir holding her Carnal Energy had surged a staggering amount—and that was despite how she had burned through [Empowers] without hesitation. The chieftain's shard of Greed had granted even more of that precious resource than she had expected.

"It's a lot?" Jordan gu...

6.51 - Patron

"Certain requirements?" Sabina prompted.

Heat rose on Zoey's cheeks. "The skill uses up Holy Energy, which I collect through—all of the stuff involving Aria and the temple." She didn't need to specify. Seeing how Sabina was a bright woman, she could read between the lines. "And in doing s...

6.47 - Banged Up

Natalie woke surrounded by five pretty faces hovering above her, eyes wide with concern. In most circumstances, she would consider that a pretty amazing way to wake up. Unfortunately, she felt like she'd been used as a high-ranker's punching bag. Her eyes fluttered closed, and she let out one of ...

6.46 - Chieftain II

Full body [Illusions], at least in combat, Natalie had found too unwieldy to be useful since they became more difficult to control based on the size, complexity, and strength of their deception. However, [Empower] as an ability raised the potency of a skill. In this case, that meant those same fa...

6.50 - Manor Workshop

The next morning, Zoey sought Sabina out. After a series of increasingly louder knocks, she came to the conclusion that the woman wasn't inside her assigned room. The door wasn't locked either. Letting herself in, Zoey called out to announce herself, but no reply came. Sabina had already left. Sh...

6.45 - Chieftain I

Without further delay, they rushed in for the final battle.

Natalie sent out a prayer of thanks that Malice held off on her signature howl, as she had promised. They needed as much of an advantage as they could get.

With how many goblins were in the camp, Natalie didn't make it far be...

6.49 - ❤ Princess IV

Rosalie lay on her back, one arm resting across her forehead, breathing heavily as Zoey and Delta's loads dripped out of her two used holes. It was hard to come to terms with how explosive her orgasm had been, how good it had felt to have her girlfriends use her like that. She felt empty now that...

6.44 - Nest

The trek into the Duskwood was a smoother process than the first time, with them knowing the general location to look through. So long as their assumption was correct, the goblin nest would be near where they had fought the empowered Raid Leader.

They took Malice out of the [Capture Core] o...

6.43 - The Good News

"This is all your fault."

Still bleary-eyed from having been woken up early by soft knocking at her door, Jordan took in the sight on the other side of her door. Sofia stood there, in her pajamas, wearing fuzzy white slippers and an ice-cold glare that only a Theliosian, with their famous b...

6.48 - ❤ Princess III

Zoey swallowed thickly.

It was a hard decision. Obviously, Zoey was happy with either. Getting to use Rosalie in any way was the highlight of any given day. More important than what she wanted, though, was what Delta wanted, even if she was deferring the decision to Zoey. Delta and...
