A/N: Bonus-chappy to catch up with RR.
In other news, I haven't quite settled on the editing days for November, but they will likely start on the tenth. I just have to touch base with my publisher first a bit. Will po...

Zac spent another hour looking at the cores before stowing them away in two boxes. Even if the center of the museum were where they belonged, he didn't want to risk them being damaged or ...
2022-10-28 17:17:53 +0000 UTC View PostThe impartment of Ultom was unequivocal in its message. He couldn't fuse Life and Death in one core, and he couldn't use Two cores. So he would do neither, and he would do both.
The end of the spiral led to a small empty square, no more than ten meters across. It symbolized the destination ...

Sweat ran down Jaol's face, but he froze his nerves to keep his hands steady through the pain. The slightest mistake would cause the makeshift Disruptor to blow up in his face. So he put his troubles aside as he engraved the detection array his vision overlay indicated. Even then, it wasn't easy....
2022-10-25 18:43:51 +0000 UTC View PostA/N: Chappy Monday!
Sorry, I forgot to confirm the date for the catch-up chapter last Friday. Anyway, I finally finished the edits late last night, so I'm back to focusing on the daily chapters again! So the catchup-chappy will be on Sat 29.
"How is it?" Um'ha smiled. "You have been frowning that ball the whole day. For weeks, really."
The intricate machine of interlocking parts sat in the cavity on the worktable, both table and contraption created with such detail that the mechanical orb could freely be rolled in place without...

Ogras was barely listening as he tried to make sense of the readings his girl was spitting out, but there were others to deal with t...
2022-10-20 16:32:10 +0000 UTC View PostA/N: We're Back! As mentioned, the return after the editing break was delayed another day. I will release an extra weekend chapter to catch up with the 50-ahead-schedule, though I don't know yet if it will be this weekend or the next. There's still a sizeable chunk of Book 8 to go through...
2022-10-19 16:53:45 +0000 UTC View PostHey, unfortunately, there'll be no chapter tomorrow for Heaven's Chosen Patreon Tier.
I've been working through the weekend on the draft for Book 8, but I am still not where I need to be with my deadlines. Therefore, I have to keep going at it for another day instead of working on tomorrow'...
2022-10-17 16:43:27 +0000 UTC View PostA/N EDIT: A reminder, this is the last chapter of the week as Oct 13-17 are my monthly editing days. So next chapter on Tuesday.

Originally, Zac had planned on using the [Essence of the Abyss] much later, some time after using the Temporal C...
2022-10-12 19:25:04 +0000 UTC View PostZac had overestimated his new Void Vajra Constitution for a moment there, but it wasn't all bad. Zac had felt that his constitution wasn't just for show during the fight, even if it hadn't given him unique healing capabilities just yet. He had been constantly inside or adjacent to incredibly powe...
2022-10-11 18:02:23 +0000 UTC View Post"Not bad," Calrin said with a small nod as he worked hard not to seem impressed.
It wasn't easy.
The scene outside was far from anything Calrin had ever witnessed, even if he was toiling under a fate-touched oddity like the little Lord Atwood. That little troublemaker might have visit...
2022-10-10 18:04:46 +0000 UTC View PostZac felt a bit helpless as he tried to figure out where Iz was hiding and what she was up to. The huge geyser was supposed to help him suppress Iz a bit, but it had instead filled the battlefield with scalding mist that helped obscure her location. Meanwhile, Zac could feel something was changing...
2022-10-07 19:22:59 +0000 UTC View PostZac had never heard of the concept of Earth Immortals before, but he felt this was a rare opportunity to learn some new things without getting blasted by Iz.
"A what?" Zac said with interest.
"If you fail to build a ladder to Heaven, you still have a chance to conjure the chains to th...
2022-10-06 18:35:59 +0000 UTC View PostThe gains weren't earth-shattering, but Zac was still happy with the result. Getting attributes at all was usually the sign of a high-quality Constitution, and he actually got efficiency from the first layer. That almost made the entry layer of the method equivalent to a top tier-title, which was...
2022-10-05 17:29:12 +0000 UTC View PostThe golden hands radiated a holy light, and Thea felt she could almost glimpse something inside the radiance; a vast ocean where all the answers to cultivation existed. In front of that ocean, her Sword Intent was nothing, a small parlor trick not worth mentioning.
No, it wasn't! Thea shook...

Unfortunately, this is not a bonus Sunday chappy, but rather a market research poll. Patreon has recently added a new option for billing, which they call Subscription Billing instead of Monthly Billing 2022-10-02 09:29:17 +0000 UTC View Post
In just an hour, three powerful factions on Earth had disappeared without leaving so much as a ripple behind. This would all be kept away from the general population of Earth, but those who needed to know would learn of it one way or another. Zac shook his head and started up the second rotation ...
2022-09-30 18:13:20 +0000 UTC View PostZac was planning on heading toward another conference room, but he stopped when he saw a familiar face below. It was Ibtep, looking out at a garden courtyard from a large window.
"You're still here?" Zac asked as he walked over. "Rhubat didn't call you?"
"No, I have no commitments apa...
2022-09-29 17:20:23 +0000 UTC View PostIt almost felt like looking at a mirror as he saw himself, or rather his design for Arcaz Black, walking onto the stage. No matter how one looked at him, he seemed like a powerful undead cultivator. Only Zac would realize that the aura seemed slightly hollow, but the Branch of the Pale Seal mostl...
2022-09-28 17:41:50 +0000 UTC View PostApart from the difficulties of cinching the deal, Zac knew his little kingdom was far from reaching the status of the Twilight Harbor. Even if he now had the fundamental qualifications, he lacked the strength to protect something too valuable, even with the Undead Empire on his side. You simply c...
2022-09-27 18:22:24 +0000 UTC View PostCatheya stood just outside the temporary building, looking on as the automaton walked into the woods toward the closest settlement. She was filled with a mix of disappointment and relief that Arcaz hadn't appeared in person. It would have been nice seeing him again, but these shifty elders were u...
2022-09-26 16:58:39 +0000 UTC View PostAt first, it had seemed as though the voice appeared out of thin air. But mid-sentence, it focused into a singular point as another Draugr appeared in the room's doorway. His aura was restrained, but Zac felt like he was looking into a churning maw when gazing in his direction. According to the r...
2022-09-23 18:13:07 +0000 UTC View Post"We can talk about the heritage and reparations later. Let's go back to where we left off," Zac said. "So, what's the verdict? Discounting the thing brewing here in Zecia, does the Abyssal Shores consider me an asset or a liability?"
There were many things Zac needed to cover with Catheya, ...
2022-09-22 16:03:31 +0000 UTC View PostSpotting the three Monarchs was not only a confirmation that Zac was right to be occasionally paranoid. It was also proof of just how powerful the sensors of the Yphelion were. There wasn't any way for him to actually see the Monarchs, but he could pinpoint their location with a hundred-meter pre...
2022-09-21 17:16:44 +0000 UTC View PostChecking the time, Zac realized he had already spent over a month grinding his Body Tempering Manual. Altogether, close to three months had passed since he returned to Earth, and it was about time to deal with the lingering matters standing between him and his prolonged seclusion.

2022-09-20 17:37:50 +0000 UTC View PostZac couldn't believe it when [Void Heart] suddenly shuddered and stopped contending for the medicinal paste mid-beat.
