Chapter 938

There were times at which I hated my inquisitive nature. After discovering that ominous glow in the crater deep within the Charland, my first impulse was to investigate and find out what the glow w...

Chapter 937

Sometimes, it was mindboggling just how much the world had changed. The system, strange monsters and general societal collapse, those were things I could somewhat comprehend and wrap my head around...

Chapter 936

After making one last attempt at overcoming the Fire Elemental that was nourished by the Fire Node, I decided to give up. Unless I had some sort of incredibly useful idea, I just didn’t have the ...

Chapter 935

Creating a way to prevent oxygen from entering the warehouse holding the node and its fiery owner turned out harder than I initially imagined. The biggest problem was that I had no way of identifyi...

Chapter 934

Realising that the creature that had settled in the fire node was incredibly similar to the fiery guardian Sunna had set to protect the Soul Prison caused me to grind my teeth in cold fury. I wante...

Chapter 933

Staying well away from the building, we moved so we could look into the now-open door. For once, Lia was taking the lead, with both Luna and myself ready to deploy magical protections at a moment's...

Chapter 932

It was a strange and deep irony that the first magical node I discovered on Terra was one of Fire, a location that poured out a constant, though not terribly potent, stream of Fire Astral Power. Wh...

“What are the odds that this is a natural hole?” Kevin asked, his voice filled with amusement. The rest of the small group that had decided to leave the farm together could only nod in agreemen...

Chapter 931

• AN: I've put a current sheet into the pinned post as I didn't go over every skill-up she received in this chapter. 

The Charland, as I had begun to refer to the burn...

Chapter 930

The more I learned about the burned industrial area, the more fascinated I became. After the Fireshell Tortoise died, we left the area to take shelter and during the day, with a nicely cool parasol...

Chapter 929

For a few moments, I could only stare at the rapidly spinning shell, especially when it got too close to a pile of rubble and a leg shot out, sending it careening away with renewed power. In turn, ...

Chapter 928

Moving deeper into the industrial complex came with more enemy critters. Rats, some small birds and sizable insects were our primary enemies, all of them fairly easy to detect thanks to their obvio...

Chapter 927

Given that I felt it was likely for this area to be another dungeon, there was ultimately no other choice but to head in. The ever-growing trait for exploring new dungeons was precious, to say noth...

Chapter 926

The industrial complex we had come across was massive. A part of my mind was rapidly parsing through my memories, trying to figure out what exactly this place used to be. Sadly, it was fairly diffi...

Chapter 925

Getting back down to the ground was a bit of a challenge. The Raven’s Shadow didn’t come with an instruction manual, so I had to make things up as I went, adapting the input of Astral Power in ...

Chapter 924

Flying. Ever since I had gained the ability to experience Lenore’s memories and feel the sensation of flight within them, I had been hooked. I had flown within my dreams, eventually, I had flown ...

Chapter 923

After feeling the cool silky-smooth fabric a little longer, I wrapped the cloak around my shoulder, replacing my old one. A part of me considered whether I might be able to enchant the new piece as...

Chapter 922

Nodding to myself, I ran through one last check. The ritual I had been thinking about for over a month now was as prepared as it could be and the only thing stopping me from actually going through ...

Chapter 921

Once again, we continued on our travels. Still moving further away from the town I once called home, still heading northwest following that siren’s song of a possible distant Nexus. I wasn’t qu...

Some people could be utter fools. It was a truism Wu Chunhua, also known as Mrs Wu, had learned to accept a long time ago. That there was nothing a sufficiently confident fool couldn’t make thems...

Chapter 920

Luckily, Lia turned out just fine after her experiment backfired on her. A little exhausted and complaining about a brutal headache, but compared to the vampire cat, she was in perfect condition. S...

Chapter 919

Studying the unconscious cat up close didn’t reveal anything new. It was still a mangy thing that desperately needed to be washed but other than that but other than that, it was nothing special. ...

Chapter 918

The hissing and pacing of the caged cat continued for a little longer, it even tried scratching the bars of its cage, confirming my suspicion that Shadow Cats had some way to magically augment thei...

Chapter 917

“Mother, I would like to ask you for help,” Lia’s request, right after the shrine's completion, was a bit of a surprise. While Luna and I had been busy building it, Lia had roamed around town...

Interlude: Holiday Chapter 2023

Douse the flame, children, this is the Pale Lady’s night. No fire shall burn tonight, nothing to disturb Her, nothing but memories and tales of magic. Tonight, we honour Her, as she watches over ...

Chapter 916

Watching the locals walk through the completed shrine was fascinating. Luna, Kyle, Sarah and I were officially, whatever that meant if there was no real society, turning over the shrine to the peop...

Chapter 915

There were few words I could use to describe the way Sarah and Kyle went about claiming the shrine of Hestia for their god. Few of those I could use were words I actually wanted to use, mostly beca...

Chapter 914

It was fascinating, how two places with such huge differences could end up feeling so similar. Part of it was undoubtedly the blessing of Hecate Luna had called upon but a far larger part came from...

Chapter 913

Finding the right spot for the shrine turned out to be surprisingly simple. Luna and I wandered around the area for a bit, discussing what we both were looking for and contrasting it with what we k...

Chapter 912

My conversation with Luna continued for quite a while after the initial part about my previous actions. Mostly, I explained to her the importance of guest rights and why the Gods themself had decid...
