Zoey was pissed.
My fucking spine! It broke my god damn spine!
Typically, having your spine snapped like a dry twig would have been cause for more than simple anger, but Zoey wasn’t worried about long-term effects.
Our fault. We should have suspected it c...

1. Volume 3 conclusion: We’ve got approximately 2-2.5 weeks of chapters until the current volume is finished. I’ll be taking a one week break after, then back to releases. I’ll probably relea...
2025-08-31 18:08:53 +0000 UTC View PostFor Rory, one moment he had been bickering with Zoey within a dark altar room, the next he was in a brightly lit cavern, eyes widening slightly.

Rory was not often wrong, or at least egregiously wrong.
This was not one of those times.
Twenty-six days. It took him twenty-six days to crack the code. His mistake had been assuming each of the dials functioned the same.
That wasn’t the case. The first dial...
2025-08-28 15:08:38 +0000 UTC View Post“So, the next closest structure?” Rory asked as they made their way out of the temple, already preparing their undersea ‘submersible.’ The key and chain link were nowhere to be found, as the moment Rory had touched the items, they’d vanished. Had it not been for the fact that Rory could...
2025-08-28 14:00:10 +0000 UTC View PostChapter drops are out! (10/21/2025) - Quick note, I've been doing a pretty bad job of updating this list, so I apologize to anyone beneath True Immortal who don't receive a notification of a chapter as this is meant to serve that basis (At least until I learn of a way to notify only specific ...
2025-08-26 15:39:44 +0000 UTC View Post“There it is,” Zoey whistled as she took in the sight of their final destination. “Been a long time coming.”
“Yeah, it has,” Rory sighed. “Not quite what I was expecting.”
“Same,” Zoey agreed as they floated above the fake planet, staring down like two heavenly inv...
2025-08-26 14:00:17 +0000 UTC View PostHello all, as I mentioned in a Sunday update I wanted to try doing a Q&A as another bonus for all my patrons. Because this is the first attempt at it, I have genuinely no idea how many questions I will receive, (Could be zero, could be thirty, no clue) so I will have it uncapped, all I ask is...
2025-08-25 19:10:33 +0000 UTC View PostApostolos stared out, mentally preparing himself.
We’re probably going to lose people.
It was a stark reality, but one that he forced himself to acknowledge.
If only I had been better, smarter… something.
The reality was that no such thing had come tr...

“Get over it, I told you it would take some time.”
“You said a few months.”
“And eight is a few.”
“Took forever.”

2025-08-21 14:00:13 +0000 UTC View PostOne moment, Rory was moments from death, the next he was flopped on the sandy ground of a desert he had last seen something like two years ago.
“Wow. You look like shit.”
Rory glanced up, taking in the sight of Zoey standing over him. She was… pristine, like sh...
2025-08-20 14:00:16 +0000 UTC View Post“Why! Why so many bugs?” Rory hollered, pumping his arms as he ran as fast as he could.
Now, why was one of the prestigious Founders, people who bordered on divine in the eyes of the average person, running for all he was worth?
That was probably because of the pack of over three ...
2025-08-19 14:00:16 +0000 UTC View PostHey everyone, meant to get this out earlier, but my internet was down.
Now, the meat and potatoes, what are we going over today?
Two main things: Power Progression/scaling, and potential for a semi-regular Q&A
But lets not get ahead of ourselves
“Whose idea was it to put a god forsaken asteroid field inside a volcano?” Zoey groaned for the billionth time.
“Aelia, or Eon, or maybe the universe just hates us,” Rory responded as he kicked off from the floating space rock.
The fabled fifth floor of the Deep Chamb...

Silent for several seconds, it was Irene who spoke up first.

Hey y'all! Been a bit since the last update, I'm aware, but I didn't have a whole lot to report on. Even now, truthfully, I don't have a ton to say, at least not off the top of my head. The reason I decided to whip one of these up is that as I was looking at my text document for Volume 3...
2025-08-12 16:14:13 +0000 UTC View PostAs the duo of founders entered the castle grounds, they found themselves instantly under pressure they hadn’t expected, like diving deep under the water.
“Whoa. That is some serious pneuma,” Zoey said, pointing out the obvious.
“No kidding,” Rory agreed. “No shit,...
2025-08-12 14:00:00 +0000 UTC View PostAs Rory stared down at the descending spiral staircase, he felt a sigh pass through him.
If only it were so easy.
“Wasn’t this supposed to finally summon the floor guardian?” Zoey grumbled.
“It was supposed to open the way to the floor guardian, not summon it....
2025-08-08 14:00:17 +0000 UTC View Post“Archers, fire!” The cry rang out, magical arrows flying through the air and slamming down into the horde of monsters, thousands strong.
“Activate defenses!”
The same walls from which the archers had fired began to spool up with energy, swelling with power like a hammer rising...
2025-08-07 14:00:10 +0000 UTC View Post“What is what?” Rory frowned, turning from his work dissecting the Wyrm Newt.
“I have no idea, that’s why I’m asking you.”
Curious, Rory made his way to where Zoey was bent over, hands on her knees as she examined something peaking out from beneath the large keystone.

Zoey harrumphed as she approached the Tropic Wyrm Newt, a greener color than the last Wyrm Newt. Cracking her knuckles, she stood in front of the monster. While it was the same level as the previous Wyrm Newt, it was also larger, as long as Eia but...
2025-08-05 14:00:16 +0000 UTC View Post“Rory, are you seeing this?”
“Yeah, yeah, I am.”
The duo stared in awe, having just emerged from a tunnel, upon the next floor of the Deep Chambers.
“Floor” was doing some heavy lifting as they stared out.
“This isn’t a cave. Rory, this is not a ca...

“Oh, hey,” Rory waved at Zoey as she appeared, covered in monster guts and other viscera. “You look like you went through a blender.”

“All the beans.” The furry badger man said, grinning madly.
“You’re fine when I kick your ass?” The Spear had the same wild grin as she hefted her spear.

Speaking to no one but himself and little Jinn, Rory pulled a lever as a pulse of pneuma and vital essence coursed through the channels in the ground, a large circle of runes and symbols flooding with power.
