Chapter 1126

“Well, that escalated really far, really fast,” I couldn’t help but mutter once I took another glance through my scrying constructs. I hadn’t focused on Luna all that long, just long enough...

Chapter 1125

As we were marching away from the small farm-turned-village, I was just a little less attentive and vigilant than I usually would have been. Luna and Silva had to pick up the slack but given that I...

Interlude: Consequences

Sylvia was dragged from the blessed unconsciousness of sleep by the sound of arguing voices. That, in and of itself, was nothing new; arguments were tragically common, an almost inevitable conseque...

Chapter 1124

The state Stephanie was left in after witnessing Lady Hecate's judgement was quite amusing. For almost a minute after it ended, she just stood there, her eyes flickering from the statues, now no lo...

Chapter 1123

“What’s going to happen now?” the woman asked, even as her eyes darted all around my house, taking in the impossibly modern ambience. With a brief wave of my hand, I placed flames on a few st...

Chapter 1122

The noise from the attack and the light of the fire outside were enough to wake Luna and Silva up, and both were only briefly confused before they recognised what was happening. Not that a whole lo...

Chapter 1121

“You know, I’m curious if any of those complaining about giving me what I’m due remember a fairly simple but incredibly important thing,” I mused, shaking my head at the various possibiliti...

Chapter 1120

As it turned out, Luna hadn’t been idle while I was away. When I left, the house had been somewhat bare, but now, it was nicely appointed with the various fabrics and furniture we had stored in o...

Chapter 1119

Once upon a time, back before Road to Purgatory, when video gaming involved a computer or a dedicated console, escort quests in role-playing games had been widely considered to be the wors...

Chapter 1118

Their explanation, which they reluctantly gave while I made sure their wounds were treated to the point that they wouldn’t cripple them while we made our way down the mountain and back to the far...

Chapter 1117

“Now that things are a little more stable and controlled, care to share what happened to you while I check the rest of your injuries? Unless there’s something very wrong with one of them, I sho...

Chapter 1116

“You’re who?” the guy asked, looking utterly confused. Not that my identity truly mattered, at least it shouldn’t matter in the slightest, given that these people were in a situation which ...

Chapter 1115

After a brief interrogation of Cy, as the guy who had returned to get help was called, I realised that the situation was a little more troublesome than expected. Thanks to the time Cy had needed to...

Chapter 1114

By the time morning rolled around, the house was nicely furnished by the combined efforts of Luna and myself. Stone and anything related was solidly in my domain, while Luna had learned to manipula...

Chapter 1113

The building I entered was quite an interesting construction. It greatly reminded me of the long houses constructed by the people at Apple Gate Farm, to the point that I wasn’t sure if I would be...

Interlude: Times of Trouble

It had taken Jenn two days to acknowledge that something strange was going on. She had seen magic in action, from the awe-inspiring feats of Jade to the somewhat pathetic efforts of some neophyte s...

Chapter 1112

After that initial confrontation, I could easily return to my work, with Sylvia plodding along behind me, watching with awed eyes as I was reshaping the world around me. The rest of the people who ...

Chapter 1111

AN: A part of me was tempted to add a few exclamations-marks to the chapter-title. 

Over the next few minutes, numerous names were introduced to me. However, if...

Chapter 1110

Without the superhuman grace and agility bestowed upon us all, the only one with the slightest chance to get down the valley and to the village in one piece would have been Silva. Her lower centre ...

Chapter 1109

For all my incredible magical power, there were some things I was unable to influence, at least when it came to a meaningful scale. Chief amongst those things was, quite obviously, the weather with...

Chapter 1108

One aspect of Lia’s absence I hadn’t expected was the effect it had on Luna, or rather, how her absence essentially forced Luna to focus her attention on Silva or me. Sure, we had always been h...

Chapter 1107

AN: Happy New Year, everyone. 

Looking at the goat the Windchime Grass, as I was currently calling it in my head, had killed, I could only wonder just how that had worked...

Chapter 1106

“This is fascinating,” I had to admit, watching as the latest experiment Luna and I had conducted together was getting just a tiny bit out of hand. Given that it was spring and thus the season ...

Chapter 1105

Being back on the road, or rather the rugged, still slightly soggy path through the mountains, was strangely liberating. Sure, we had travelled extensively in the area around the tower, often makin...

Chapter 1104

Looking at my character sheet, I wasn’t sure if I was supposed to be pleased or disappointed. Over the last few months, almost five of them, we had spent in and around Jademoon Tower; I had made ...

Interlude: A divine Solstice

• AN: Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays and a peaceful Longest Night.
  It's somewhat amusing, a part of me wanted to make Hecate's reaction to Jade's new trick a little more excited or i...
