Chapter 98: Overachieving, Gone Accidental

As Rory inspected the crystal geodes, the former Scales of Earthen Tyrants, he couldn’t help but purse his lips.

Tyrannical Geode Scales

Quality: Rare

Formerly the scales of an earthen tyrant. Once the deep-earth elements were replaced by a...

Chapter 97: Scales of Earth

“Well, isn’t that damn nice?” Rory whistled as he took in the reward for slaying the Tyrant of Earth and Scales. Having their region ‘contested’ by Ehkorrus and the Tyrant had rendered some of their ‘claims’ less effective, or something along those lines.

“I’m sure Irene a...

Behind the Scenes Notes #3: Alchemy

And here we have the Alchemy notes! Again, light spoiler warning for currently untouched subjects but no actual story spoilers. That said, I'm just attaching the PDF of my notes so I don't have to format this twice.

Chapter 96: Down with a Tyrant

Rory was feeling good—outstanding, even. While losing his hand a few weeks back had been a nuisance, his new hand felt as good as gold—hell, he felt as if it were better than his old hand. He could more easily sense and manipulate pneuma with the new hand, provided he was directly touching wh...

Chapter 95: Portage

“Oh, Founder Rory,” Gil stepped back, surprised to see Rory tinkering away in the workshop.

“Surprised to see me?” Rory raised an eyebrow at the young man.

“Here? No, you’re here plenty,” Gil shook his head as he began to shrink to his dwarf form. “I didn’t expect to...

Informal Sunday #7: Short and Sweet

Hey everyone, very brief Sunday update this time around. I know for some time now I've been saying I would do a note drop, and yet, no notes. Well, the background was basically all my notes were scattered between different notebook, word documents, etc. I had to spend a bit of time going...

Chapter 94: Inventory

Rory next awoke to the sound of someone pounding on his door. Dragging himself from his bed, which he had collapsed upon, Rory yanked the door open moments later.

“What?” Rory grunted, annoyed to have been woken up.

“Figured,” A rather disheveled-looking Apostolos sighed as he...

Chapter 93: Indefinite Firmament

Where the hell to start? Now, that was the question.

Alright, maybe not. Rory knew there were only two areas to start with. The first was the most obvious: Start from the beginning. Isolate and fold space, yadah, yadah, and boom, inventory. The second area was a little les...

Informal Sunday Update #6 - Return of the Sunday release

So, what to announce or talk about? First, I think I'll address the first chapter of volume three now that it's out for the RR community as well. I've had some people in the past say they aren't certain about the fact that Universe's End is settled history, that you already know Rory will go the ...

Chapter 92: Handcrafted

Much like when Rory had been modeling the Living Rune usage in their model of his new prosthetic hand, those nearby were forced to retreat a safe distance as he worked. While just seeing the Living Rune wouldn’t cause significant harm outside of a headache, trying to understand what yo...

Chapter 91: Need a hand?

It turns out that losing a hand wasn’t exactly fun, at least Rory didn’t think so as he meandered back the remainder of the way through the forest. In his early days, losing a hand would have been a paralyzing injury, but Rory had suffered considerably worse since then.

The one...

Chapter 90: Not quite a pair of snakeskin boots

While Rory had implied uncertainty about the whereabouts of the Tyrant of Earth and Scales, that was hardly the truth. In fact, years back, they had discovered its whereabouts nearly fifteen miles out from Ehkorrus. It had been discovered by accident by none other than team MVM when they’d been...

“I can’t believe it.” Apostolos groaned, head in his hands as Rory did his best not to burst out laughing.

“Oh aren’t you glad?”

“I AM glad she is fine!” Apostolos mumbled, resting his head against the wall of Rory’s house. “But she’s tier six! I’m only half wa...

“A spar?” Apostolos questioned, staring at Rory with confusion. “Now of all times?”

“Yeah.”

“I know,” Rory said, rolling his shoulders. “But it’s been a long time since my last ascens...

87. The Seventh Realm

So, I'm currently trying to figure out how to set chapters to release at certain dates for different tiers without manual input, so if it's a release date and you don't get notified that a chapter dropped it might not show if the chapters is already out and I'm just editing who can access it.

86. Yet another epilogue masquerading as a prologue

The young immortal found himself struggling to process everything he’d heard, only able to stare in astonishment at the two True Immortals.

“Oh look, you broke his brain.” The Spear said with a sigh as she looked at her peer.

“He’s just taking a moment,” The Architect said...

Informal Sunday #5: Friday Edition

Now, some of you may be wondering, "Hey, why is a Sunday update dropping on Friday?" which is a totally valid question.

To which I'd answer, because its my Patreon and I do as I please.

Humor aside, I actually just wanted to announce that the Totality tier is officially going live! Fo...

85. Conflict breeds Growth

Aelia was rather pleased, all things considered.

Nearly all her founders had reached their seventh ascension in the blink of an eye -at least relative to low-tier humans or monsters.

Well, almost all of them.

Author's Note: Due to some time constraints, at time of upload I haven't had a chance to give the chapter an editing once over. My plan is to handle that later in the day, so if you want to read it after its been edited, wait until you see this author note disappear.

Informal Sunday #4

Hey Y'all, hope you've had a good week!

Personally, I've been busy, track season has swung into the thick of things and as a coach, I've lost a good few hours per day even outside of work.

That aside, what do I have for this week's updates?

80. Shore of Oblivion

Author's Note: At minimum, four more chapters for the volume. Once again, I will be taking a one week 'break' from releasing chapters at the end of the volume, but there will still be two chapter uploads at that will also be when I introduce my third tier as mentioned in an earlier Sunday upd...

Hey y'all, a short Sunday update this week as I only have a few things to update/reiterate.
