Its senses had grown to encompass the primitive world to which it had been summoned. Though its strength had been limited to a low enough level that it could not use its Perfect Sight upon the entirety of this world, it had maintained enough of its strength ...

Taking the corruption from the Lady of Pale Fire had carved a h...

2025-03-10 05:08:39 +0000 UTC View PostWill didn’t step through immediately. Though he was extremely tempted to do so, he was also fully aware of the fact that he alone probably wasn't enough for this. That wasn't due to a lack of power or anything—in fact, he felt stronger now than he ever had before.
However, he was at lea...

2025-02-26 01:51:21 +0000 UTC View PostThe Beyond was an old friend to Will by this point.

It was not fire that enveloped him. Pale Fire's culmination had long since dissipated, vanishing when the dozens of thousands of instances of Lord-rank corruption had swept in and obliterated that skill by directing it straight towards the sovereign-tier woman.

In order to gain the power that a mid-tier demon could bring to bear, Will had given up a portion of his humanity in a very literal sense. His eye had been one part of the deal, but so had a chunk of his soul that hadn’t come back no matter how much healing or life force restoration he’d pour...

Will wondered if this would be the time someone finally listened to him asking for them to talk. Historically, that hadn’t gone over well.
To be fair, a number of times, it was him deciding that the other person wasn’t worth trying to save and going ahead with a field execution. He did ...
