Fighting a creature of pain and anger wasn’t supposed to be easy. This one, though, was on an entirely different level. Not only did it have the power to slice everything it came into contact with, but also used a fair number of awakened abilities, and did so rather well. If Dallion had come he...

Just like walking through Atlantis, he thought.

2022-04-30 21:23:52 +0000 UTC View PostLeaving the city was always a joy. There was a time when Dallion could barely endure walking through the wilderness—scorching hot in the day, freezing cold at night, and his feet hurt no matter how many times he had improved his shoes. Of course, back then Dallion was barely a full awakened wit...

The comment didn’t make Dallion look away, though it wasn’t something he felt happy about. The reason was that he couldn’t discuss the Academy without touching ...
2022-04-28 00:01:43 +0000 UTC View PostNo one felt more surprised than the one that relied on surprises to win. More often than not, Dallion had relied on out of the box thinking that he’d come up with on the spur of the moment when facing an impossible situation. Thanks to the lack of awakened limits and his time back on earth, he ...

2022-04-24 21:08:19 +0000 UTC View PostThe lobby hadn’t changed one bit since the last time Dallion was here. Even after spending close to two years in the awakened world, Dallion still felt as if he were entering a bank. Four wooden desks were placed at strategic spots, with doors behind, each occupied by an administrator whose job...

2022-04-23 10:55:15 +0000 UTC View PostThe change was subtle, like a firefly flickering near a fire. To someone with experience, however, that was more than enough.
