“Is that it?” Isaiah asked as he put down his 212th bag of spatial storage artifacts inside Mila’s quarters in the Violet Mountain Blessed Land.
“Yeah.” It had been over an hour since Mila’d found anything worth stealing while using her sensory domai...

Getting to look at the inside of the blessed land with his own eyes, Aalam felt it was beautiful. Every point on the hemisphere, not including the ground, was linked to a different point, so looking up you could see the ground and looking out across the horizon you could see the entir...

Mila let out a deep breath as Elder Haxor’s soul started to travel toward the Altar of Sacrifice. Then she walked over to where Isaiah was slowly taking his spear out of Kalin Hewin’s head and reached up to pat him on the shoulder. “Excellent job.”

Death.
Sending his senses around the Violet Mountain Blessed Land, Lander Haxor couldn’t help but feel everything in his life had been pointless.
He’d clawed, tricked, and betrayed his way to become number two in the Violet Mountain Sect, and he had enjoyed gre...

“What exactly was your plan, Aalam?” Mila asked after a couple minutes, taking a closer look at the formations in the cave. “For example, when are you planning on activating the gathering of souls?”
“I was going to wait at least another twelve hours.” Aalam s...

“What the Hell is wrong with you?”
When Mila joined them in the Kimali Mountains, the first thing she did was walk up to Isaiah and slap him full force in the face. Granted, her effective Strength was less than half his effective Toughness, so the blow didn’t...

Lander Haxor was feeling more fear than he ever had in his life. The Violet Mountain Lord had killed jinn able to advance to C rank in the Carium Galaxy Cluster for hundreds of thousands of years without trouble. But this time he’d messed up, killing the ancestor of an A rank’s p...

It took over 7 hours to make all the required tools. Then Aalam packed them and the Shadow Thief’s most dangerous artifact into a spatial storage ring and he and Isaiah made their way to Hira’s teleportation platform, transporting themselves to the Carium Galaxy Cluster’s capita...

“So, you’ve been lying to us?” Mr. Haxor leaned forward into her personal space at the reveal of her true stats, a hint of anger in his voice.

Zev Andar didn’t feel much after killing the jinn. During his time as the Violet Mountain Lord, he’d killed seven jinn for having the potential to reach C rank, and Epecteos Ka’Dravone’s chances had been the lowest of any of them. He also had no backing, so there wasn’t...

Epecteos was nowhere near as calm as he appeared on the surface.
The danger from Kalin Hewin had never been the man’s personal strength but his political status. He was the youngest of the Violet Mountain Sect’s eighteen elders and, due in part to how weak he...

“So, you finally showed up.”
Isaiah had arrived in the capital city of Epecteos’s main planet of Toril about 30 seconds after Epecteos, so it wouldn’t be obvious they were together, even wearing a cloak to help hide his identity. And then he’d found a restauran...

Entering into the Kimali Mountains on the Carium Galaxy Cluster’s capital planet, Mila realized two things. First, she shouldn’t have asked to go alone just because the mountains only had monsters up to D rank and she wanted to use her full skills. Second, she shouldn’t have thou...

Brom looked down at the coffin and didn’t know what to feel. Should he be sad? Should he be scared? Should he be enraged? Instead, as he looked down at his father’s partially mutilated corpse in the coffin, he just felt numb.

For the last four years, ever since they’d placed the specialized artifact Aalam made from Nana Xara’s design on one of Epecteos’s F rank planets, Mila had been able to telepathically communicate with Aalam, Diana, Isaiah, and her grandmother at will, and it had been a huge boost...
