Chapter 1154

Once again, I was somewhat impressed by Sasha’s intuitive intelligence. There was nothing different about my overt actions when I opened the door and entered the room holding her, my routine just...

Chapter 1153

“So, are we adding another being to our group?” Lia asked me as I was sitting on a high branch in the darkness, simply enjoying the slight elevation and the clear view of the stars it allowed m...

Chapter 1152

It was quite curious. Normally, neither Luna nor I cared all that much about our test subjects. Sure, we generally tried to be careful with them, if only because breaking a test subject before the ...

Chapter 1151

While Luna and I discussed what we both had learned about our latest acquisition, I also watched how she handled the food and water I had placed in the room for her. Curiously, it wasn’t the food...

Chapter 1150

After telling Lia where Luna and I were going, causing her to sulk a little because the day was too bright for her to join us without fairly extreme protections, we made our way over to the new exp...

Chapter 1149

Softly whistling to myself, I moved the captured Sasquatch over to a slightly different part of the mountain, somewhat close to our shelter but not right next to it. I had no plans to take the Sasq...

Chapter 1148

“Mom, you might want to look at that,” Luna’s voice pulled me from Sigmir’s embrace, despite it having been Hypnos who had embraced me. For a moment, I was disoriented until I could shake o...

Chapter 1147

If there was one thing I realised about these brown-furred primates, it was that their senses were extraordinary. Even with my advanced abilities to conceal myself, I had to be cautious and take th...

Chapter 1146

“Fascinating,” I couldn’t help but mutter as I observed some strange figures through my scrying construct. With the long days Lia had to spend cooped up in whatever shelter we had prepared fo...

Chapter 1145

“So, Mom, I had an idea,” Lia’s opening statement somehow managed to send a shiver down my spine, and not the good kind of shiver. It wasn’t so much about her words; those were innocent eno...

Interlude: Distant Developments

Jack looked at the rest of his group, still using the name Search Group One, even if they hadn’t done a whole lot of searching for things in recent times, and let out a deep groan, trying to get ...

Chapter 1144

It was quite fascinating to watch how Lia seamlessly slotted herself back into the group dynamic as if we had never split up. Sure, Luna and I had to relay a few stories to give her context for som...

Chapter 1143

Observing as Lia took in the massive structure around us was quite amusing. Sure, my daughter knew just how big I could build with my Earth Magic. Jademoon Tower was an excellent example of it, but...

Chapter 1142

Sealing up the tower was an utter triviality. The entire thing was formed with my power, and even now, months after the fact, enough of it lingered within the structure to allow me to easily manipu...

Chapter 1141

It took a few minutes of gentle prodding while holding Lia and carding my hands through her hair to get her to talk. Even once she started talking, her head remained lowered, her face hidden in my ...

Chapter 1140

Stepping through the shadows across such a vast distance was something entirely different from my usual short steps. For once, I couldn’t just move through the realm of shadows itself; I would ne...

Chapter 1139

If there was one thing I had seen from the outside but never truly experienced myself, it was project creep. Back when I learned how to audit finances and trace funds, it was one of the biggest iss...

Chapter 1138

“You were quite busy, my dear Jade,” Lady Hecate’s voice interrupted my quiet contemplation, what some might have called a prayer, especially as it happened in the newly created and sanctifie...

Chapter 1137

“Holy shit!” Luna’s exclamation made me frown for just a moment, wondering if I should reprimand her for the language used or if I should accept it as par for the course, as an exclamation si...

Chapter 1136

Grinning to myself, I wrapped the latest prototype of our anti-mosquito collar around my neck. Hopefully, this one would work well enough; it certainly looked promising in its utilisation of a comb...

Chapter 1135

“I’ll have to admit, I did not expect that,” I muttered to Luna after we remotely released our latest experiment into the wilds. We had been trying to figure out the best elements to imbue in...

Chapter 1134

If there was one good thing about our continued travel north, it was that the animals in the forests and mountains of Montana were quite vicious. Maybe it was thanks to the system; maybe these beas...

Interlude: A Crone's Musing

AN: Not too happy with the chapter. Hope you enjoy anyway.

Few things ever changed in Neyto, and even if they did, fundamentally, everything stayed the same. The world kept slowly tu...

Chapter 1133

A strange noise caused me to interrupt the work I was doing on an improved version of my magic bag and investigate. It didn’t come from outside of our camp, in which case I would have focused on ...

Chapter 1132

Following the strange tunnel was simplicity itself, though we remained cautious, just in case there were traps or something like that installed. My raven construct wouldn’t set those off, given t...

Chapter 1131

“Gah;” I couldn’t help but curse, annoyed at my consistent failure to figure out just what the hel was going on in Belgrade. I refused to believe that the town just happened to be abandoned w...

Chapter 1130

As all the things near the farm happened, our journey reached what once was Montana. Well, unless the system had pulled a very fast one and somehow moved us to Serbia or moved the city of Belgrade ...

Chapter 1129

A part of me, a fairly large one even, regretted my actions. Sure, I had learned some quite interesting new things about the system, things that scared me to my core, but the price for those secret...

Chapter 1128

Over the next few days, Luna and I continued to travel north while I observed the ongoing events back at the farm. Luckily, the paths Luna and I were walking on were fairly nice, almost certainly o...

Chapter 1127

Continuing to observe the people at the farm was a somewhat surreal experience but also a deeply fascinating one. The surreal part came with the continued exposure to the Oathbreaker effect hammeri...
