Small update on the state of things! This is nothing new for those of you who frequent my Discord, but Defiance of the Fall is coming to Amazon, Kindle Unlimited, and Audible! Proper edits! Fixed inconsistencies! A way to relive the summer of 2019, when Corona was just a beer and you follow...
2021-03-31 13:38:31 +0000 UTC View PostThe last remnants of the bishop’s suicidal attack eventually dissipated, which allowed Zac and the others to deactivate their defensive skills. With the bishop down the battle was all but over, and there were two options to Zac at the moment; go with his army for a while or immediately set off ...
2021-03-30 17:06:09 +0000 UTC View PostIbtep took a deep breath before they activated the teleportation array. They had spent the last two days traveling from hive to hive to better prepare for their mission. Zachary Atwood’s warnings had made Ibtep worry that their preparations weren’t enough, so they had gone ahead and collected...
2021-03-29 16:12:06 +0000 UTC View PostA swarm of Drones shot out through the portal above the heads of the soldiers as well, though Zac could still see that Kenzie hadn’t passed through the portal. They didn’t follow the charging army but rather formed what looked like a protective array. Layers of barriers appeared the next mome...
2021-03-27 17:55:18 +0000 UTC View PostThe darkness of the Void was completely pushed away from the skyline littered with fiery spheres and that fires that raged all around Zac. He was about to make his move, but a massive foot flashed right past Zac as an earth-shattering roar caused the ground to shudder. It was Billy who was alread...
2021-03-26 18:05:02 +0000 UTC View PostZac was ready for war, but the cultists were perhaps even more so. Not a single zealot had moved on toward the next bridge by the looks of it. They had instead taken defensive positions while one sun after another ignited and rose into the air like a fiery sentry. Not only that, the whole edge of...
2021-03-25 18:22:22 +0000 UTC View Post“This is the final stretch, keep going!” Zac shouted as he urged the warriors around him to keep running.
The faces of the soldiers were pallid masks of exhaustion by this point, but they kept putting one foot ahead of the other as they gripped Nexus Crystals in their hands. The last te...
2021-03-24 18:03:44 +0000 UTC View PostA lance of golden flames tore through the air, and Ogras barely managed to avoid it before he unleashed a beam of destruction of his own. However, he didn’t aim at the bishop in the forefront, but rather at the group of underlings who worked on infusing the weird array at the edge of the mounta...
2021-03-23 17:17:45 +0000 UTC View PostZac's hidden node felt like a ball of hunger trained on a specific spot inside the dissipating "corpse" of the Void Beast. He instinctively understood what was going on though and activated his [Cosmic Gaze] as he tried to find the source of the avarice. The creature had turned i...
2021-03-22 17:25:54 +0000 UTC View PostZac didn’t know whether it was lucky or unlucky that the terrifying creature went straight for him, but at least it would prevent the normal warriors from bearing the brunt of the terrifying creature. He quickly threw Emily to a side passage as he readied himself for battle.
“Attack it ...
2021-03-20 17:32:56 +0000 UTC View PostZac immediately rushed back when hearing the commotion, fearing that the mysterious entity that had snatched up his people from the bridge had returned. But thankfully they hadn’t been ambushed by the Collector or any rival faction, but rather the base itself. The walls had gone crazy, frenzied...
2021-03-19 17:23:39 +0000 UTC View Post“The Cartava Clan?” Zac muttered with a frown. “What kind of group?”
“Thousands of people. Some of them are E-Grade, but most emit very weak energy signatures,” Kenzie said as he read the report on her tablet.
Zac slowly nodded, not surprised to hear the Cartava Clan had l...
2021-03-18 17:28:22 +0000 UTC View PostSeeing a moat of land just like the one he was standing on falling apart filled Zac with a sense of urgency, and he jumped down to his sister who looked a lot better by this point. It was the same with himself. The sense of exhaustion and hollowness was quickly passing, and the soldiers all aroun...
2021-03-17 17:07:32 +0000 UTC View PostIt looked like the structural integrity of the Mystic Realm was starting to unravel because of the mysterious ripples. Zac tried to discern what the ethereal waves were doing as they passed through the area, but his [Cosmic Gaze] simply couldn’t pick up anything at all. Zac cou...
2021-03-16 17:28:59 +0000 UTC View PostZac sighed as he looked down at Leviala as her body collapsed in the drone chair. He hadn’t touched her, but it wasn’t hard to tell that she died. It looked a bit like she committed suicide, but Zac soon realized that was not really the case. One glance with [Comic Gaze] expo...
2021-03-15 17:07:16 +0000 UTC View PostZac knew his people weren’t out of the woods just yet, but he still scanned the prompt that had appeared in front of him before deciding on his next move.
Sankhara-Dukkha (Training (6/9)): Emerge victorious and seize the Spatial Drill. Reward: Reward based on performance at the en...
2021-03-14 17:55:39 +0000 UTC View PostA spectral forest rose from the ground as Zac flashed forward, the trees immediately giving him a second sight as he tried to close the distance to the Second Elder. Most of the Cartava Clan cultivators seemed to be leaning toward mage-classes, which meant that turning the fight into a melee was ...
2021-03-13 17:08:43 +0000 UTC View PostA/N: As you likely noticed there was no chapter yesterday. I unfortunately had to take a sick-day, and forgot to post it anywhere but on the Discord. But we're back in business. I'll either do a double chapter tomorrow or a Sunday release to get back on track, depends on how productive I ...
2021-03-12 18:13:09 +0000 UTC View PostLeviala looked on at the destruction from her drone chair with bleakness, her sight only made possible by using [Heaven’s Eyes] as her physical eyes had already become useless. Guilt and self-loathing filled her as plumes of fire rose to the sky, and the air vibrated from the u...
2021-03-10 17:44:00 +0000 UTC View PostThe kiss came without warning, but it didn't feel wrong. Zac’s hand moved to Thea’s waist, and the two pressed closer in a passionate embrace. However, the warm softness disappeared as quickly as it came when Thea took a step back, leaving behind only her scent. It left Zac standing with a bl...
2021-03-09 17:26:23 +0000 UTC View PostA sense of completion filled her body as she punched the door, causing a massive explosion that launched pieces of the Bloodline Vat in every direction. Rampant energies blasted out of the sealed chambers, her prison for the past month.
But she was finally out.
Inevitability looked ar...
2021-03-08 17:48:07 +0000 UTC View PostThere was no time to wonder why his second attempt at taking out a guarded item resulted in a far greater response. It felt like the whole room was closing in on him, like he had been caught in the maw of some metallic beast. Add to that the still increasing amounts of liquid electricity, which w...
2021-03-06 18:23:11 +0000 UTC View PostZac couldn’t help but give the demon an appreciative look when he saw the objective of his new quest. As far as quests go, this had to be one of the easier ones. The containment field was still keeping Ogras at bay, but with his help it should just be a matter of time before they breached it. 2021-03-05 17:52:28 +0000 UTC View Post
Ogras was the one who had reacted quickest thanks to being outside the direct blast zone of the shockwave, and half the room was already drenched in shadows by the time that Zac got back to his feet. However, the laboratory was only so big, and Leviala was already at the door after having release...
2021-03-04 17:16:24 +0000 UTC View PostThe group immediately set out, keeping a rapid pace on their way toward Inner Lab 16. They were making good time thanks to the complementary competencies of Kenzie and Laviala, but Zac was still filled with anxiety. The only thing giving him some peace of mind was Kenzie's ability to almost freel...
2021-03-03 17:32:58 +0000 UTC View Post"What are you talking about?" Leviala asked with confusion.
"Nothing, continue. What happened next?" Zac said, not wanting to make any decisions before hearing the whole story.
Seeing the outsiders conspiring with their old enemies the Lunar Clan had, unsurprisingly, agitated the peop...
2021-03-02 17:42:35 +0000 UTC View PostA/N: New month, new chapters! Thanks for resubbing, and welcome new patrons!
--------------
The group in front of them didn't exactly cause Zac’s Danger Sense to go haywire, but he still didn’t want to risk his sister getting hurt. So he pushed as...
2021-03-01 17:51:51 +0000 UTC View Post“We never even touched the thing. I think it sensed us standing around and activated, causing a chain reaction,” Kenzie said as she sighed. “The Werewolves must have known and simply ran straight through.”
“Well, they were thankfully not too powerful,” Zac said as he turned back...
2021-02-27 17:01:08 +0000 UTC View Post“I wouldn’t say the Tower of Eternity was all fun and games,” Zac muttered as his eyes turned back to the box in front of him. “Do complex machines like mechas and drones grow in this place?”
“I am not sure, but I don’t think so?” Kenzie said. “I have been keeping watch on...
2021-02-26 19:19:01 +0000 UTC View Post“You’re back,” Thea said as she spotted Zac walking over. “You’re looking better.”
“Finally had some time to rest up a bit,” Zac smiled. “Have there been any problems with the wolves?”
“Not really, a few of them appeared in the distance, but a bunch of Anointed s...
