Chapter 1074

While every day since the change was one showing people that the world wasn’t as it had been before, winter might be the time that drove that idea home the strongest. People were confined indoors...

Chapter 1073

Amusingly, the aftermath of the search for two children, too caught up with the power they had gained thanks to their magic, was just as exhausting as the search itself had been. Just a very differ...

Chapter 1072

It was fascinating. As I was reaching through the Astral River to find the two kids who were channelling Lightning together, I noticed something else, a strange sensation through the feedback. It w...

Chapter 1071

“Luna, do you know where Liam and Sandy are?” I immediately asked, ignoring the not-so-small voice somewhere in the back of my mind that was intensely curious about my daughter’s latest exper...

Chapter 1070

As it turned out, Maggy’s explanation didn’t shed any real light on the matter of levels, if anything, it made the entire thing even more convoluted and incomprehensible. Mainly because there d...

Chapter 1069

“Jade?” Maggy’s voice interrupted my musings as I sat in the middle of the shrine, contemplating the progress my students had made since they started their work. It was quite impressive, all ...

Chapter 1068

After yet another session of testing the prisoners, I had to let out a soft sigh. This wasn’t working as well as I had hoped it would. Sure, I was steadily getting better at reading the prisoners...

Chapter 1067

Obviously, I couldn’t spend all my time teaching my students. Well, I probably could, but there were things in the area I wanted to explore and understand, which meant I had to investigate. That,...

Chapter 1066

Did stupidity warrant capital punishment?

It was a fairly ridiculous question on its face, one that screamed for context, though even with context, it didn’t make all that much sense when t...

Chapter 1065

As it turned out, negotiations were not the only thing Maggy was quite good at. After coming to an agreement in regards to the magic lessons, I decided to set up an actual small annexe, something b...

Chapter 1064

After finishing up the lesson I had been giving to Daniel, I moved towards the doors, taking up my position in the middle of the room and conjuring up a seat for myself. Not quite my full throne bu...

Chapter 1063

Watching Daniel work with the first few exercises I had come up with to help him with his Earth Magic was quite fascinating. He had been able to figure out some Fire and Water Magic on his own, and...

Chapter 1062

Daniel was a fascinating student. He lacked any distinct elemental affinity, his soul incredibly balanced and in harmony with itself but, as if to make up for that lack of elemental affinity, his g...

Interlude: Whispers in the Dark

“Maggy, there’s somebody here to see you,” one of the guys who had been helping the legacy commonly known as Maggy get their community up and running called out, pulling her attention away fr...

Chapter 1061

Idiots… While I was certain that there were many other, yes similar or synonymous, words to describe these people adequately, idiots would have to do for now. Morons, mentally challenged or the f...

Chapter 1060

After sending off the fivesome to make themselves comfortable in their new accommodations, I decided to start checking out the group we had captured. There was quite a bit I wanted to know before f...

Chapter 1059

“So, Jack, what can you tell me about the local survivors? Hopefully, there are some, even with the oddity of the city,” I paused, realising that Jack and his merry band might actually know wha...

Chapter 1058

After putting the nice people who had decided to visit us into our holding cells, I had to decide what to do with them. Normally, I would readily use them as test subjects, or even kill them outrig...

Chapter 1057

Picking alchemical gunk out of Silva’s fur and helping her wash up afterwards provided an adequate method of keeping my hands, and parts of my mind, busy and occupied while we talked about my exp...

Chapter 1056

Mind over Matter was an interesting ability. Its most basic and obvious function was to give me telekinetic control over anything within a metre of myself, though the acceleration I could impart wa...

Chapter 1055

With my mind back in my body, I began to take stock of what had changed with me, as I was now becoming cognisant of the fact that the shattering sensation I had experienced was the breaking of the ...

Chapter 1054

As with so many things, drawing upon the draconic power deep within me to challenge the second divide started slowly. At first, I could barely feel anything, only my finely honed senses to recognis...

Chapter 1053

The way back to the surface took, amusingly, a lot longer than the way down. Sure, on the way down there had been numerous foes waiting for us to appear and fight us to the death but on the way up,...

Interlude: Shining Beacon on a Hill

“Jonas, Murray, what do you two think about those three? And their tower?” Jack asked his two comrades, uncertain if he should include their other two team members. Usually, he would have asked...

Chapter 1052

With the guy’s body pinned to the floor, the fight should have been over. Sure, he was still able to wave his arms and attack with the device on his right arm but really, with the massive hole in...

Chapter 1051

There were many ways with which one could begin an interaction. There were the simple, nonverbal ones, without the need to share a language. A friendly smile, a polite nod or even something more el...

Chapter 1050

By the end of the chaotic melee, I was utterly drained. Losing track of one’s allies, and having to constantly move, dodge and weave to avoid getting shot, stabbed or punched was incredibly stres...

Chapter 1049

There were more of the snakeheads. A lot more.

The further we intruded into the massive mountain complex, the more snakeheads we encountered. Curiously, they were doing something fairly simil...

Chapter 1048

There was an aura of menace around the two snakeheads, one that only grew more pronounced when they barked out a word in an unknown language before pointing the two metallic staves they carried at ...

Chapter 1047

Looking around the tunnel leading deeper into the mountain, I needed a moment to figure out why our surroundings looked so strange to me. It should have occurred to me that it wasn’t so much a st...
