“Well, thanks,” Zac snorted as he saw Catheya wink at him.
Zac wasn’t offended at her utter disinterest in helping him through. Their relation was one of an employer-employee, where both used each other for benefits. Why should she stick her neck out? Zac definitely wouldn’t d...

A few skills were high-grade, but most of them were either out of stock or had some sort of drawb...
2021-06-04 16:08:36 +0000 UTC View PostThe little flying vessel immediately shot toward the disk where the Dao Repository was housed. Zac’s shopping spree had not only shored up on things that his little planet sorely needed, but it had also given Zac a decent understanding of Twilight Harbor as a whole. The past days had doubled as...
2021-06-03 16:19:06 +0000 UTC View PostThe general meaning of a Pseudo D-grade pill was somewhat self-explanatory, but Zac had never heard of any such terminology before. Was it pills designed for Half-Step Hegemons or just extra good pills for E-grade cultivators? He had already confirmed that Half-Step cultivators wouldn't be able t...

He had already confirmed with Triv that not being attached wasn’t a crime, but that was just the official ruleset. Zac wouldn’t be surprised if some hardliners within the Empire wanted to eradicate everyone who...

“Dreamers living among our people. I didn’t believe my master when he told me,” Zac said with a snort as he turned toward the source of the voice.
It was a Revenant, seemingly a...

Just how big was that place? It was endless, and planets were no...

Zac gazed at his Tool Spirit with rapt attention until the bloodstorm swallowed Verun whole. It was back in his axe a moment later, the first fractal on his handle dimmed down.
“Amazing! What a Tool ...

He was more interested in the results of the last battles. The effect of his two Dao Fragments on his new skill was pretty interesting. The Fragment of the Bodhi increased the...
2021-05-20 16:08:16 +0000 UTC View PostIt took Zac another hour of walking before he finally spotted the Coliseum. In fact, he had seen it long ago, but he had assumed it was a mountain range judging by its size. He didn’t immediately head over, but first looked at the building in awe. It was simply massive, far eclipsing the enormo...

The chasm was e...

He looked down at the crystal in his hands, and a tumultuous wave of emotions hit him once again. He hated the thought of using something given to him by that woman, but what choice did he have? If he ever wanted a chance at taking c...
2021-05-13 16:18:11 +0000 UTC View PostZac had gained his first skill upgrade quest at level 90 as expected, and another one at level 100. Both of them provided him with one opportunity to freely fuse or upgrade one of his F-Grade skills, though the upgrade only allowed for upgrading Class-specific skills. The fusion could make use of...
