Arc#4 Chapter 23: Stranded

'I'll never complain about magitech carriages again...'

Reivan grimaced as he got on his third train of the day. It had been three days since he left the capital, and he had to ride a minimum of four to a maximum of five trips daily before it eventually got too dark for the trains ...

Arc#4 Chapter 22: Reality Falsification

The morning rays of sunlight started seeping through the gaps in the windows, signaling Reivan to open his eyes.

Greeting him was a slightly unfamiliar ceiling and a mild annoyance at himself for waking up earlier than he should. He was incredibly strict with himself so he always got up at ...

Arc#4 Chapter 21: Oathbreaker

The knightly oath that Aizen used — an eternally binding pact channeled through Soul Armaments. Another one involved a mysterious set of tribal tattoos, which was a method that the empire commandeered from a minority group they devoured during their expansion. And finally, a type of oath that i...

Arc#4 Chapter 20: Pruning

‘Are you fucking kidding me...? Will it activate when I…’

Although Clover didn’t know exactly what his mysterious client wanted from him, he had some ideas. And all those ideas involved them obtaining information about the tower and battlemages in general.

So...

Arc#4 Chapter 19: Oath

"So..." Reivan flipped through sheaves of paper, trying to take in as much as he could. "Luck is headed to City Hall without any problems?"

Valter nodded, also using the codename they thought up for Clover Salwyn in case someone with a fraudulent gift was listening in somehow. "One...

Arc#4 Chapter 18: Plans in Motion

Reivan rematerialized somewhere just outside of the orphanage, judging that there was nothing left to see.

‘Unexpectedly, I found out where those idiots got their weapons. But then again, they don’t really matter.’

The group calling themselves Sons of Arkhana d...

Arc#4 Chapter 17: Filth's Mercy

Seeing her smiling with what seemed like genuine happiness, as well as noting how he was not notified of her lies, Reivan couldn’t help but sigh in relief.

Just to be considerate, he had always avoided mentioning Helen in Elsamina's presence. A wise man on the internet had once said that ...

Arc#4 Interlude: Exposed

The next few hours went by in a blur for Elsamina.

She couldn't remember exactly what happened the whole time, but what she did know was that whatever happened to her felt amazing as usual.

And the one doing it to her was the man she loved the most, so all was well.<...

Arc#4 Chapter 16: An Eternity of Loneliness

The next few minutes of the carriage ride were spent in tranquil silence.

Neither Reivan nor Elsamina asked for it, but somehow, both agreed to quietly sit next to each other and enjoy their unexpected reunion. Really, the time they were apart wasn’t all that long, but any time apart felt...

Arc#4 Chapter 15: Days Away from Home

"That's neat. Someone in Anderharbor gave birth to quintuplets."

Three days after arriving at the republic, Reivan yawned from within his private office. In his grasp was the newspaper sent to him directly from the kingdom.

As expected from a nation at peace, only mundane things showe...

I hope you all had a good weekend, by the way!  I got a puppy, so mine's been great.

Poll time~

Please help me decide what to name Ascendant Knights. If you don't particularly like any of the options, just drop a suggestion in the comments.

If I notice it on time and like it, I'll add it to the polls. Keep in mind that the word "Knight" must remain. Please nothing lik...

Arc#4 Chapter 14: An Unforgettable Lesson

'Ladies and gentlemen. We got him.'

Reivan recalled a particular meme in his past life as he watched the look in the merchant's eyes. "It seems you understand the value that a station has, Mr. Adamantes. Or perhaps you already had it in mind a long time ago? I suppose it's expected...

Arc#4 Chapter 13: The Welcome Party

Another long chapter, so strap in.

Reivan had initially thought that the so-called welcome p...

Arc#4 Chapter 12: Into the Den

The journey to Arkhan’s capital was supposed to last for three days, even when intentionally slowing down. However, it stretched to four days and four nights because Reivan had to make a number of secret stops along the way.

Despite that, everything went very smoothly.

By day, Reiva...

Arc#4 Chapter 11: Heart to Heart

“Stop treating me like a child.”

“I wasn’t…” Reivan gulped at the pressure behind her gaze, which was sharp just like the blade she so often swung at him. “That wasn't my intention.”

It was immediately clear to him that something he’d said wasn’t received very well...

Arc#4 Chapter 10: Troubles on the Horizon

[Author's Note]

Long chapter warning.

Man, this and Chapter 9 are so long, they're like four chapters. lol

In other news, Patreon still hasn't fixed the problem, but I can somehow edit the ToC chapter by refreshing repeatedly and trying again and again until it the page doesn't ...

Arc#4 Chapter 9: New Winds

[Author's Note]

There is an ongoing problem with Patreon at the moment, where pages turn unresponsive when the creator(aka me) tries to edit a post in any way.  Creating text posts(Like this chapter) seems to have some problems too.

Arc#4 Chapter 8: Aizen's Greatest Mistake

The Fenrir's common lounge, also known as the Cloud Chamber, arguably stood out as the vessel's most aesthetically pleasing section. As a sky ark bearing the honor and prestige of the royal family, every inch of its interior exuded graceful opulence, and the Cloud Chamber was far from an exceptio...

Arc#4 Chapter 7: Punch

Reivan naturally wasn't leaving for Arkhan on his own. As a rule, a member of a royal family was never alone. Even when they seemed like they were alone, they weren't.

Privacy was all but an illusion, and not even in the bathroom was a safe haven.

As for his retinue,...

Arc#4 Chapter 6: Departure

'Oh. Well, this is very convenient.'

Reivan tried not to smile in triumph when the man he planned to coax slowly suddenly went up to him looking for employment.

In truth, Reivan was trying to be considerate by not extending an olive branch the moment they met. After all, the ...

Arc#4 Chapter 5: Light

Reivan almost wanted to yawn at how incredibly boring the whole thing was. What made it even more boring, was how Helen decided to come along too.

From his people in Lageton, he already had a good idea of how strong the smugglers were, so he had only picked out peacekeepers who wer...

Arc#4 Chapter 4: Entrapment

Feeling a desire to be elsewhere, Reivan finished things off by putting forward his query.

"Freezing the semen...?" Professor Discrimen, who was actually no longer a professor in the academy but still went around and acted as if he still had the title, rubbed his chin contemplatively. Despi...

Arc#4 Chapter 3: Genius or Madness

It didn't take long for Reivan and his snaky steed to make it all the way to the kingdom's southernmost city. Nor did it take long for him to go a bit past its southern border above the sea, and right above Aizen's most notorious permanent vacation spot — Grimharbor Penitentiary.

While it...

Arc#4 Chapter 2: A Beautiful Morning

"Another beautiful morning."

Reivan stood by his chamber's window and breathed in the somewhat chilly spring air caressing his face. The sun had barely risen yet, so "chilly" was understating it, but his warbeast bloodline innately resisted the cold, so he couldn't tell how bad it really wa...

Arc#4 Chapter 1: A Small Favor

'Done.'

Reivan leaned back on his office's chair with a sigh. It ironically made him seem like he was tired, but he wasn't sighing out of exhaustion — rather, he was sighing out of exasperation.

'It's barely nine o'clock in the morning and I already have nothing to do.....
