Miasma spread out through Zac's body as he activated his Specialty Core. He walked over to the Death-Attuned side once more and took out a large tub that he filled with water before he threw in a dozen E-Grade Miasma Crystals. Next were a handful of stalks of Netherbloom, along with various other...

A lot of work for little benefit. That was Zac's first impression of the results from completing a full cycle of the [Nine Reincarnations Manual].
His soul was in very good condition, all things considered, and it looked like it had turned a smidgeon more condensed. However...

Zac had finally set up a private cultivation area for his Draugr-side and Soul Cultivation, or rather his sister and Triv had. They had completely transformed the cave system around the original cultivation cave, and it would barely be recognizable by this point. He felt bad about constantly havi...

Zac grunted as he got to his feet after having finished his recuperation for the night. One week had passed since the events in the Dead Zone, and he had finally restored the pathways in his leg to optimal condition. It had also given him some time to take it easy and find some stability. Having ...

Verana sat by a flowerbed in her garden, absentmindedly stroking Lulu’s soft fur as the beast slept in her lap while cradling a beast crystal. A sense of impending doom had filled her heart the entire day, and she finally knew it was time for a reckoning the moment Lys hurried into her room wit...

“How is it?” Gregor asked as he spat out some blood from his mouth, reminding him of his internal injuries.
A decent number of wounds covered his body from ceaseless fighting over the past two days, and the two newly gained scimitars in his hands felt as heavy as mountains. But there wa...

Zac only rolled his eyes at the demon's slightly ominous comment, but he did somewhat agree. The two of them were playing a dangerous game, him with the remnant and Kenzie with Jeeves. Such powerful items really shouldn't be in the hands of piddling low-grade cultivators, and it would only drag t...

Zac froze as he looked up at the sky for a second, but he quickly regained his wits. However, he couldn't help but feel some sourness in his heart as he looked at the familiar figure in the sky, as he knew it wasn't Alea come back to life.

The Lich King was clearly hit by a psychic attack, but he still seemed very much in control of the shield. And while the barrier had dimmed by a certain degree it wasn't to the point that a swing or two would break it.

Thankfully it wasn't critical to Zac's plan that Ogras had evolved. He mainly wanted to bring the demon for his obscuring capabilities, and those seemed to be mainly based on his Dao of Shadows. Getting a boost to his main attribute Dexterity probably wouldn't make those skills any stronger.
