V2 Chapter 20: The Plan

The Marquess visibly swallowed but continued under the weight of my impatient glare. “The Church of Light is making a play for the Holy Kingdom’s High Seat,” he said, pausing to look at me wi...

V2 Chapter 19: The Father, Daughter, and Holy Kingdom

The woman looked at me, confusion written clearly across her face until the meaning of my words came to her. She flinched as if I’d slapped her, and color rushed back to her cheeks in impotent ra...

V2 Chapter 18: An Eye for an Eye

Tracking the fleeing Caelians was a piece of cake. A large percentage of their airborne knights had been eviscerated when I cut the summoning circle apart. Without my warning to run to the ground, ...

V2 Chapter 17: Plan of Action

The next couple of hours were a frantic, rushed mess of actions and assignments that I struggled to set in order. Though I had obtained the House Alistar Coin, it did little to mollify the crack in...

V2 Chapter 16: Similar, Yet Different

My trajectory was off by a hair. Instead of slamming full force into the Dash’Ora, I sailed past it with only a hand brushing against the smooth red scales. I circulated some heart energy and bla...

V2 Chapter 15: Dash'Ora

While Duke Alistar struggled to save his comrade, I struggled to keep down the smirk threatening to spread my lips wide. The duke’s soldiers had acted exactly as I’d commanded them, to accident...

V2 Chapter 14: First Interlude of Duke Collin Alistar

"What in the Goddess’s blessed name is that?” Collin shouted, eyes wide with a mixture of awe and shock.

The aged general by his side, Roderick, simply shook his head. Despite being the o...

V2 Chapter 13: First Interlude of Marquess Benedict Sharma

Marquess Benedict Sharma glared down from astride his wyvern at what remained of the city. His city. The city he’d poured his heart and soul into. His pride.

Ruined.

All because of th...

V2 Chapter 12: Stalemate

The streets around the decimated towers were a frantic bustle of movement and sound, nearly a hundred mortals and a handful of healers rushing to the scene and aiding the nearby wounded. A few head...

V2 Chapter 11: It's a trap!

I remembered reading a section about a Holy Treaty in The History of Lysoria.

“It’s a double-edged sword. The Holy Kingdom agreed to never intervene in secular issues so long as ...

V2 Chapter 10: Discrimination

True to his word, the city center estate was much farther than the duke’s original manse. At a steady pace, I was able to travel the distance between the tent city and the original manse in only ...

V2 Chapter 9: Holy Kingdom

If what Nasq said was true, it meant Paragons grew solely through the Desire System’s [levels], whatever those were. I switched topics, not wanting to delve too much into the Desire System among ...

V2 Chapter 8: Magic and Energy

As the soldiers in training took their seats, I put the Cardinal out of my mind and called Nasq over to me. He walked over proudly, chin held high, to stand just behind me on my right. Nida moved t...

V1 Chapter 45: The Duke's Forces

Dralos had done his job well. The city was a chaotic mess of fire and screams where violence reigned supreme.

Though we had only just crossed the Colosseum area into the city proper, I could ...

V1 Chapter 44: Banquet [Part 2]

After a few minutes a large, heavyset man with a black swirling mustache was pushed down the flight of stairs, his irate voice barking threats at the two women dragging him. Both were clothed heavi...

V1 Chapter 43: Banquet [Part 1]

Upon entering, my boots tapped audaciously against the floor of polished obsidian. The opulent crystal chandeliers hanging from the ceiling swayed slightly to the tempo of the raging powers outside...

V1 Chapter 42: Glory of Freedom and the Enticement of Cowardice

According to Dralos, the banquet would take place in a large manse adjacent to the Colosseum, where all VIPs and nobles could attend each night. Arriving there for the main battle area, where the p...

V1 Chapter 41: Reformation and Core Advancement

The Pandorian’s lifeless body crumpled to the ground, his face a frozen mask of confusion and terror. I stood over him, panting heavily, the previously dull ache in my side now intensifying. It f...

V1 Chapter 40: Blood Will Run [Part 2]

Whatever conversation was beginning between us was swiftly shut down by the wild roar of a blood-crazy Berserker. Out of the corner of my eye, without taking my concentration off the Pandorian, I s...

V1 Chapter 39: Blood Will Run [Part 1]

I didn’t call Nasq or Dralos immediately after the skirmish started. For the plan to succeed, all of the Colosseum’s forces, or at least most of them, needed to be in the foyer connecting the s...

V1 Chapter 38: Path to a Breathrough

By the time we were within earshot of the stairway, Dralos was already out of sight, and I could hear the heavy steps of armored guards clamoring down the steps. Judging by the number of discordant...

V1 Chapter 37: Slaves No More

Just like the section of the dungeon that held me during my tenure as a slave, this second section was similarly dilapidated and smelled of shit and blood. White balls of energy illuminated the old...

V1 Chapter 36: The Beginning of an Army

Absorbing Narissa’s heart energy left a rotting taste on my tongue. It was absolutely disgusting. Yet, the emptiness of my Core and the dire need to act now left me with no choice but to absorb t...

V1 Chapter 35: Metamorphosis

I wasn’t sure what Ethan chose, but I knew he had chosen something. The older man reached out in front of him and gingerly touched some invisible option. Ethan suddenly sucked in air like he’d ...

V1 Chapter 34: Deal with the Devil

“Get out?” The first woman snorted, flipping her blonde hair over her shoulders and glaring at me. “You may be able to walk out Lady Lilliana, oh great Saintess, but we’ll get killed. Guara...
