“Quarantine? But against what?” Zac mused while sweeping up a handful of ash from the nearby wall.
There was still a hint of Heaven’s presence. Esmeralda said its descent was powerful enough to unravel the natural order of the Left Imperial Expanse. The effect would only be more prono...

A low roar came from [Verun’s Bite], tightly gripped in Zac’s hand. Having been together so long, Verun could easily intuit what Zac was thinking, and the Tool Spirit seem...
2025-11-21 19:00:14 +0000 UTC View PostWith an eager expression, Esmeralda grew to a size that could fit Zac in her pouch. Whether it was because of their destination or that more of her bloodline had emerged over the past month, she created a stronger image than before. With the warm light of Dome Lake acting as a backdrop, Zac felt ...
2025-11-19 19:00:11 +0000 UTC View PostSorry guys, looks like migraine season is upon us, and ironing out all the details of Zac's latest breakthrough took more time and effort than I expected. The next chapter needs more cooking, by a less cooked brain. I'll hopefully be able to put it out tomorrow, but Thursday's chapter may have to...
2025-11-18 17:31:43 +0000 UTC View PostSix days passed without a hitch, and redrawing his pathways went exceedingly well. For once, there were no damaged sections that needed to be redrawn from scratch when upgrading the fractals. Between its weakened state and Zac’s Early Stage Law-attuned body, the Four Desolates had failed to cau...
2025-11-16 19:00:10 +0000 UTC View PostWho would have thought that Peak D-grade, a step that brought most Hegemons to despair, would end up being the smoothest? Sure, having to advance his bloodline was a surprising curveball, but the Core Formation itself went as smoothly as could be. Not a single piece of his core was lost or damage...
2025-11-13 19:08:07 +0000 UTC View PostPast and present remained blurred as the vision ended. The memory of rumbling skies before sleep took hold of him quickly brought Zac around. He flew to his feet in the hidden treasury far below ground, urgently readying himself for a calamity that never arrived. There were no signs of the tribul...
2025-11-11 19:00:10 +0000 UTC View PostEmir maintained his vigil from the safe vantage of his cave mansion, his mental state as overcast as the sky. The issue wasn’t the clouds or the crackling lightning trapped within. The denizens of the Pesvati Rift were no strangers to the raw tribulations of the unbounded Heavens. They were sad...
2025-11-09 19:00:09 +0000 UTC View PostCountless Dragon Veins covered the ancient expanse, sending their gift of longevity to the surface. In some sense, they were the very bedrock of civilization. Whether man or beast, when the basest requirements were met, they sought something more. When mortal pursuits no longer sufficed, they sou...
2025-11-06 19:53:59 +0000 UTC View PostIt was as though the Duplicity Core anticipated Zac’s idea to set off a couple of bombs inside the Quantum Space and put a stop the plan. The passage to the Quantum Space wasn’t just sealed shut, it had erected an impassable wall that barred both Dao and Energy from passing through. In one sw...
2025-11-02 20:08:46 +0000 UTC View PostA/N: And this is the last of October! The first half of this month's chapters was the opening act of Book 18. It was meant to help the readers get back in gear and recall what's happened thus far, which is why the pacing of some parts may have felt a bit off. Anywho, hope you enjoyed! 2025-10-30 19:11:25 +0000 UTC View Post
Limanta was a fellow member of the Imperial Magistrate who’d made it to Mercurial Court as an attendant. Not confident their shaky deal with Everit Draom would fulfill their goals, the magistrate decided to buy another slot from another sealbearer. It was a good thing they did because Limanta h...

A gust burgeoning with dimensional weight was blocked by the arrays installed in their secluded alcove. The body-tempering palace at the central square had become their gathering spot of choice since it provi...
2025-10-21 18:00:10 +0000 UTC View PostZac felt as though he was falling at the speed of light as darkness surrounded him. A familiar signal from the seal on his left hand prompted him to quickly bring forth Tam’s identity. The Inverse-attuned teleportation array was seemingly bringing them directly into a memory domain.
The d...
2025-10-19 18:00:29 +0000 UTC View PostThe Hollow Chasm became drenched in darkness. The churning clouds wanted to reach into the pit, but the Earth rejected Heaven’s encroachment on its domain. Bloody contours of countless shadows were illuminated along the rims by a flickering, angry red. For a moment, Zac felt as though a billion...
2025-10-16 18:05:34 +0000 UTC View PostSeeing as his companions weren’t ready to set out, Zac turned his gaze inward to inspect his upgraded Dao Avatar. It remained a carbon copy of himself, neither more nor less lifelike than before. Looking the same was to be expected since his upgrade didn’t introduce new concepts. It was rathe...
2025-10-14 18:03:31 +0000 UTC View PostZac’s screams were swallowed by the void—not his Void, but the bottomless abyss of suffering within the sea of anthracite flames that made up his surroundings. His soul was burning, his Dao Heart was burning. A lifetime of memories was set ablaze, threatening to eradicate his past. Zac feared...
2025-10-12 18:00:10 +0000 UTC View PostAs title says, no chapter today. My computer went and died on me, and some content didn't make it to the cloud. On a very possibly related note, I would think twice about buying ASROCK motherboards going forward.
2025-10-09 13:46:47 +0000 UTC View PostWhile falling short compared to the previous realms, they still walked away with a respectable haul from the Ninth Garden. Ogras had extracted various Life-attuned materials from the spirits he slaughtered, some of which held ample essence blood and bestial intent—prime materials to feed Verun....
2025-10-02 18:01:26 +0000 UTC View Post“You really jinxed us with your doomsday theories,” Ogras muttered as they spied on the feeding frenzy taking place in the distance.
To avoid getting dragged in, Ogras and Tavza had joined hands to ensconce themselves in Abyssal shadows. Zac couldn’t help but wonder if it was only fit...
2025-09-30 17:21:48 +0000 UTC View PostWhile eager to get going, there was no quick or easy way to get back to the mainland. Zac couldn’t spot any familiar landmarks around Sevona’s crystallized island. In fact, there weren’t even any islands on the horizon, which was somewhat rare for the Peregrine Archipelago. Zac decided not ...

2025-09-21 18:37:04 +0000 UTC View PostA/N: I felt the pacing of Tuesday's chapter was too rushed because I wanted it to reach a certain point. Ultimately, I decided to make some changes. I added some paragraphs to 1404 and moved the end to shortly after Zac woke up. I particularly wanted to expand on this dialogue, so I don't...
2025-09-18 18:35:29 +0000 UTC View PostA/N: I've made some small adjustments to this chapter. It felt too rushed, so I added a few paragraph while moving other parts to 1,405.
