Diana Ravenborne had taken her time choosing her pocket realm. It was faint, but each of the shards floating in the celestial fog radiated an aura that allowed one to guess what was lurking inside. Of course, it was still a gamble at the end of the day. But Diana felt like she had won hers.
The chilling aura of metal Qi gripped Sebastian's soul as he materialized in a pocket realm. His eyes narrowed as he tried to survey the blinding landscape. A seemingly endless silver expanse stretched before him until it met a jagged mountain range of steel-topped bronze that welded into the hor...

When he had rescued them alongside Douglas from the Dragonite Mines, a mere Soul Fire Realm pocket dimension, he had thought of them as cute little monsters reminiscent of dumb dwarfs. They could hardly speak coherently and had...

"I'm curious," Stella said as she began to munch on the Mystic Realmwarp fruit. She could feel its mystical energies reaching through...
2025-01-21 15:47:50 +0000 UTC View PostStella awoke the following day to a voice as her body was being shaken from side to side by two tiny hands.
"Master!"

2025-01-19 12:40:45 +0000 UTC View PostStella saw a great opportunity to boost the Ashfallen Sect's finances after Sebastian arrived shortly after his young master and hurriedly explained the situation more thoroughly.

"I'm sorry, Boss." Douglas's shoulders slumped, and he looked angry with himself....
2025-01-11 14:58:05 +0000 UTC View Post"Incoming!" Douglas roared at the top of his lungs as he brandished his sword and horizontally swung at the rapidly descending darkness.

2025-01-09 15:17:31 +0000 UTC View PostDouglas stepped out from the Ashfallen Trading Company headquarters into the pouring rain with mixed feelings.
His pride as a man and a seasoned rogue cultivator used to dealing with the darker and more brutal side of humanity was somewhat ashamed to be ordered around by a somewhat bratty t...

Stella swayed back on her chair as if attempting to escape Douglas's glare from across the table. The broad-shouldered man caused the table to the creak as he leaned on it with the full weight of his arms like tree trunks planted firmly before ...

The shields on every Bastion except Erebus were vaporized in the shockwave, and the leaves on all demonic trees for miles had been stripped in the wake of the assault.

Call him stupid, a blockhead, rocks for brains, whatever, he would nod and agree. He was a Grand Elder of the Ashfallen Sect but hadn't yet mentally grown into his role. After all, just half a year ago, he had been a debt-riddled thug sc...

For in the blinding light of truth, what was once limitless may become finite, and what was once divine may crumble to dust.
