Epsilon Twilight

31. Growth

It was just a drop of blood, she had shed many others if just to set ablaze the Blossomflame, yet this one in particular tired her to no end. Aloe collapsed on the ground on her bottom, her eyes st...

30. Army

His position involved a lot of document shuffling. Not only were most people in Loyata illiterate, but they were also quite stupid. For better or worse, Hassan was among the few who could write in ...

29. Plantation

To say that Aloe was motivated was an understatement. She felt as if she was in the heavens above, but she also knew not to put the ceiling before the walls.

"Okay, let's make you grow," she ...

I am a goldfish

Hi there,

Here's your favorite writer with the memory of a goldfish. I want to publically thank RR user PlueRyvius for their contribution by letting me know that Aloe had evolved an Aloe...

28. Namesake

Even with these many boons, Aloe didn't let her hopes get too high. Soon enough she detected a critical problem, sunlight, or the lack thereof.

"Plants need sunlight to grow," this wasn't jus...

27. Soil

Aloe woke up with a wet face. Humidity was ever-present this close to the Tehen River, but as she wiped her visage, she noticed the source of her wetness wasn't humidity but tears.

"Haha…" ...

26. Camp

Acuity allowed her to dispel the darkness of the chasm to a degree, but that didn't mean she possessed night vision. Alas, no stance granted her such abilities. A fleeting thought led her to wonder...

25. Underground

Only two epithets were needed to describe the bottom of the chasm: damp and cold. More than once, Aloe thought of changing to toughness to gain a bit of body heat, but she continued to push onward ...

24. Hope

Hope was an insidious, lying bastard. It always whispered warm and comforting words, to never give up and to hold your dreams, but as the rope tightened to your neck… did that even matter?

...

23. Scribe

Change had come to Sadina, mostly in the shape of more work. Naila Asina could train for hours on end, but the moment she had to work for someone who wasn't herself, then a single hour was a tortur...

22. Viciousness

She didn't outright die from the breakneck-speed collision as she was able to shift to toughness, but that didn't matter when a heartbeat later she was falling to her death.

In a panic, she g...

21. Chasm

The cultivator had no pretensions of power or delusions of grandeur. The only reason why she hadn't fallen to the clutches of assassins was because of the Blossomflame.

In other words, luck.<...

20. Agony

Aloe didn't have time to react as the assassin lunged at her. Not only did the surprise assault block her thoughts, but the weird shadow magic they employed made it impossible to guess where they w...

19. Fight

After getting a well-deserved rest, Malik and his team rushed for the fortress town of Selen. Instead of going in a straight line like they guessed Ayad was doing, they diverted their route for the...

18. Stepping

"This is not working out, man," Zayyan protested behind him.

"I hate to agree with that fucking moron," Dareen started, always the eloquent woman, "but we've got no trail left to follow, Mali...

17. Decision

It was probably the worst decision of her life – not that she had taken many – but Aloe decided to stay for another day. When she woke up the next day, she was still feeling awful, and it was m...

16. Mortality

The first thing Aloe felt when she woke up was an impossible nausea. A jolt of dizziness assaulted her whole body into wakefulness.

"W-what?" She groggily woke up, but the moment she put her ...

15. Rest

The day started poorly when Aloe decided to stretch her legs whilst still drowsy and almost fell as she forgot that she was on top of an arch. Sure, if that were the case she would have reacted in ...

14. Selen

Aloe almost cried out of joy upon seeing the rocky ground before her, but that would have been a wasteful use of her very limited water, so instead she satisfied herself kneeling on the hard ground...

13. Highlands

Aloe woke up to the plucking of a burrowing owl that was trying to eat her eyeballs. All in all, she had way worse awakenings. Because she had passed out whilst donning toughness, the owl had no ch...

12. Possessive

The news came as quite a surprise, but at the same time, she should have expected it. What person could have brewed such a potent and useful aphrodisiac if not an assassin? That left the question o...

11. Djinn

The red person advanced through the darkness of the night, he – Aloe guessed it was a he as the torso was naked and showed no breasts, only barely defined abdominals – was partially obscured by...

10. Whistling

The cultivator's hands still trembled when she left the town. Even if she tried her best not to think about her heinous acts, her body remembered. A snapped neck left quite the impression as it wou...

Upload Update

Hi there,

I will be changing my upload schedule for this semester. The number of chapters will remain the same, I will just change the days which I post on. Right now - though it may subject ...

9. Murderer

"Ah. Ah…" Aloe grabbed her head as she hyperventilated. Upon gazing again at the unmoving body, she hesitated and took a step backward, which caused her to trip and fall down. "Oh, heavens…" 2024-09-16 13:59:54 +0000 UTC View Post

New Story

Hi there!

As I commented before, I am writing a new story. In short, it's about aztec magic, time loops, and some litRPG elements. I have a few chapters written and I will not be publishing t...

8. Crack

Aloe's eyes snapped wide open the first moment she noticed the person before her, who might as well have been standing there for long as the regeneration stance dulled her senses, and that was with...

7. City

As it would appear, nomads traveled very lightly and had very few resources to spare. The reason why Ibrahim's mother was willing to sell milk was because they were capable of producing it while mo...

6. Nomads

Aloe instantly threw herself to the ground and forwent speed to switch for acuity. The people she had seen were far away and facing away from her, but she couldn't take enough precautions.

In...

5. Intrusive

Her headache had, in fact, not ceased. She tried doing everything at her disposal to calm the pain, but she had no medicine to do so, nor could she waste the little water she had to refresh herself...
