Having infused a wisp of his aura into the task screen, Zac walked over to a nearby kiosk manned by an acolyte. It was the location where you picked up a mission token so that the captains could contact you when it was time to go.

2022-03-19 09:25:04 +0000 UTC View PostUnfortunately, I have to delay today's chapter until tomorrow - due to some rewrites it simply won't be done today without rushing it. I will try to get it out as early as possible tomorrow. Sorry about the inconvenience!

"Well, it's your face," Zac laughed.

2022-03-16 18:06:51 +0000 UTC View PostVilari walked down the clattering corridors, ignoring the insect warriors just as they ignored her. With a small mental nudge, she was functionally invisible to their gaze. It was a shame that her power was too low to allow for this kind of measure in the outer world – that way, she would have ...
2022-03-15 19:02:12 +0000 UTC View PostZac stepped out from the teleporter of Salosar Seven, one of the twenty-two official subordinate worlds of the Salosar Cluster, donning a temporary face. Together with him was Joanna, who was decked out in the liveries of the Space Gate Guild. They found themselves in a gallery inside an enormous...
2022-03-14 18:27:47 +0000 UTC View PostZac’s communication crystal had already started vibrating while looking over the Cosmic Vessels, and he was surprised to see that it was Vilari who had tried to contact him.

I’ve been asleep for most of the time since we met last, but I have some preliminary ideas for the skill,” Yrial nodded. “I just need to see how the pathways of the core have changed during its upgrade. I even have some ideas to improve the aesthet-”

That alluring smile, those intoxicating curves, those limpid eyes that seemed to both invite you in and warn you off - toxic perfection.
