After resting up a few hours Zac stepped through his private array, arriving at one of the first satellite towns of Port Atwood. Only a brief moment was needed to understand that this was one of the farming-villages that was created to provide the town with a steady supply of grain and vegetables...
2019-11-12 17:58:26 +0000 UTC View PostZac still wasn’t sure what he should do with Hannah as he slowly walked toward the gate leading to the town proper. When Ogras told him she had been found he felt… nothing. Simply too much time had passed since they last were together.
The time they had spent apart was more than twice w...
2019-11-11 18:46:37 +0000 UTC View PostZac’s mind was filled with a burst of information told him how the skill worked, but he still chose to try it out after some hesitation. He headed over to an empty area inside his compound that was still just forest and activated the new fractal. A huge torrent of energy surged from the area an...
2019-11-09 17:47:46 +0000 UTC View PostZac skeptically looked up at Ogras as he fiddled with the amulet in his hands.
“What are you talking about? It’s impossible that this is something from the Technocrats. I picked this up on Earth years ago,” Zac said, hiding the real origins of the Amulet for now.
“Trust me, I ...
2019-11-08 18:34:15 +0000 UTC View PostAfter a brief moment of darkness, Zac once again exited, but the unfamiliar sight gave him a start. It almost looked as he was standing inside a world tree, as the walls were living trees sprouting leaves around them. However, they were far taller than the usual ones he’d seen so far, reaching ...
2019-11-07 17:42:44 +0000 UTC View PostAs Zac drove the car through the Dead Zone Kenzie told him much about what happened to her during the six months since they last saw each other. As for Zac, he was a bit hesitant, as there were two others in the car.
Lyla was obviously one of them, but before they left Kenzie insisted they ...

2019-11-04 18:24:41 +0000 UTC View PostZac’s plan to adopt a wait-and-see approach was completely thrown into the back of his mind and was quickly being replaced with far more violent solutions. The stands around Zac started to ominously creak as the air around him distorted, prompting those around him to move away with fear in thei...
2019-11-02 16:28:34 +0000 UTC View PostA pang of hunger woke MacKenzie up, though she would prefer to stay asleep. She hurt all over from the beating yesterday. These government workers were lunatics. One of them simply walked into her cell and started wailing at her until he was dragged away. She really started to believe the rumors ...
2019-11-01 17:56:39 +0000 UTC View PostAs soon as he had exited the sphere of protection from Mount Everlasting Peace his core once again had started to absorb miasma. However, it wasn’t a problem for Zac anymore, as the lotus seed provided him with the life energy he needed. Besides, now that his core was balanced the amount of lif...
2019-10-31 18:36:28 +0000 UTC View Post“Huh, what do you mean?” Zac asked confused.
“This penniless monk gained some insight into the Dao of Karma from his many decades of meditation. It has given me some unique skills in this new reality of ours. Karma ties you to a location to the east. However, if you leave now you will...

His first impression of Abbot Everlasting Peace was that he was teeming with life, but his appearance...

Various thoughts ran through Zac’s head as he leveled an even stare at Sui, to the point that she quickly started to get flustered.

2019-10-24 17:38:02 +0000 UTC View PostZac’s eyes widened as he saw what faced him. The best way to describe it was that he was looking at a ghost. It was clearly an undead denizen teeming with miasma, but it was mostly translucent. It didn’t really have any facial features, and the only feature of its face was its eyes shining in...

2019-10-21 17:41:05 +0000 UTC View PostZac felt he’d stumbled upon something important as he slowly controlled the Dao of Trees to rotate over the wound. It was a way of manipulation of the Dao that he’d never done before. Usually, he just pushed the Dao into his attack or his body, but now he realized that type of usage probably ...

It was just like that god damn man to go gallivanting just when he became a Lord, leaving all the boring work for others. Now Ogras found himself stuck with Adran, who was starting to look more and more disag...
2019-10-11 16:42:48 +0000 UTC View PostZac frowned as his danger sense flared to life. He quickly rotated his cosmic energy as a few large emerald leaves started to flutter around him as though he was sitting in the middle of a hurricane. The next second the door exploded into wood chippings as some unknown assailers were firing autom...
2019-10-10 18:21:19 +0000 UTC View PostZac felt annoyed as he stepped through the door to the back of the clinic. He just wanted to go through the town unannounced and disappear before anyone could remember him. Yet he’d been forced to knock out one of the higher-ups of the town just because of some silly jealousy. Who knew what typ...
2019-10-09 17:12:37 +0000 UTC View PostZac was currenly speeding along the deserted road, heading east. He was still driving the car, as it was pretty much as fast as him jogging. He’d also found that it was easier for him to use the Dao of Trees while driving compared to jogging, so it was also better for his wound.

2019-10-08 17:31:24 +0000 UTC View PostAuthor Note: Chapter 165 has been edited, particularly the end. Essentially Zac now took out one of his cars while he transformed in the last chapter, and was driving when he chanced upon the Tiger and the trio. The trio's car broke down, and the following exchange happened: 2019-10-07 16:54:41 +0000 UTC View Post
Zac rushed toward southeast along a derelict road. The town Bernard managed, Aubrey Hills, was north of the Dead Zone, and he needed to get to the eastern part. Zac knew there were borther towns closer to the incursion from his conversation with Bernard during the Auction.
