“You can...

Chapter 665: Lying in the Confessional

Argrave had learned throughout his life that words could be twisted in very exceptional ways to make the horrible seem almost noble. Robin Hood, for example—objectively, this supposedly skilled a...

I need some time

People that have been on here for a while probably know I try to keep things pretty seamless. Five chapters a weak, not much babble. Nonetheless, I've been having some problems these past weeks-- m...

Though Argrave had said not long ago that he trusted his brother, now that his intentions were clear and they’d all agreed to help Orion on his search, he did consult two encyclopedias for answer...

Chapter 662: Lunacy

Following Orion’s presentation of his findings, Argrave gathered together all of his closest counsel to consult about the path that they needed to pursue. It came alongside reports of growing unr...

Chapter 661: Bad Blood

“I suspect the man’s head burst into gore due to the pressure of containing Gerechtigkeit, not out of any deliberate act,” Raven said as he studied the corpse.

Anneliese looked at him a...

Chapter 660: End is Nigh

As mentioned in the 'changes and news' post, I'm rearranging things. This is where volume 12 will start. Consider the previous chapter a false start, to be repurposed later in the story with differ...

DFAC 10

Willem had almost been expecting the worst when Anne Claire practically marched into the meeting with Petronella, a scowl on her face. A couple hours later, she returned markedly more cheerful than...

Changes and news

I'm going to be relocating what is currently chapter 660 to further in the story (and recontextualizing it accordingly). I don't think it's fitting to jump right into the action. A bunch of people ...

Chapter 660: Crushed From Within

“Just from initial reports, I can tell you as many as one thousand people killed themselves yesterday.”

King Argrave of Vasquer hung his head upon hearing that news, and his black hair br...

Chapter 659: Reforging Reality

Traugott gave them one last hex from beyond the grave—specifically, a headache. That was truly the only thing they gained from this interrogation. Anneliese had already cracked the code, so to sp...

Chapter 658: Beating One's Nature

Drinking alcohol was really just drinking scummy water for Argrave—his black blood, coupled with all the other myriad ways that his body had changed since using the Fruit of Being, made both wate...

Chapter 657: Harmony After Absence

When Argrave went to find Sophia, preparing himself for what he thought could be a serious and heart-wrenching conversation, he saw something that made him pause and watch. Orion was giving her a p...

Chapter 656: Guess Who's Back

After sleeping on it, I'm retconning the choice to have the Shadowlanders suck out the brains of the ancient heroes. A), 27 people would definitely not all agree to such a thing, B), it's something...

Chapter 655: Revolution Funding

“Are all of you really sure that you want to do this?” Argrave asked, looking between the dead heroes of old.

“I can speak for myself alone, but I know that my time is running out,” F...

Chapter 654: Alliance of Incompatibility

Argrave stood proudly beside Anneliese as they walked toward the white-haired woman, taking their sweet time. There was a tacit understanding between berserker and non-berserker that they were to m...

Chapter 653: Do Unto Others

After Anneliese declared her intent, she began the rigorous process of transforming Traugott. Ghislain concealed her utterly with his illusions, and the other casters all guarded her diligently as ...

Chapter 652: Animal and Hunter

Traugott assessed the situation objectively, plugging in a new variable to the equation to adjust its answer. From the outset, he’d thought a few dozen S-rank spellcasters to eliminate him was a ...

Chapter 651: Dimensions of a Battlefield

Anneliese had always felt a particularly strong loathing toward Traugott.

It was difficult for her to pinpoint why, exactly, which troubled her—she liked to consider herself as someone calm...

Chapter 650: Hedonistic Scholarship

From birth, Traugott had always felt like his life was tied to the abyss. It consumed all he felt endlessly. There was little that inspired anything inside of him. Though he felt emotions like rage...

Chapter 649: Worth of a Sacrifice

“I won’t let you.”

Orion blinked open his eyes. The pain that he’d been feeling moments before had all gone, replaced only with the pleasant and familiar sensation of wind gracing his...

Chapter 648: Do or Die

The casualties from the assault of the silver knight were staggering. Elenore reviewed the figures as she sat.

A great deal of the most prominent spellcasters in the world had been in Blackga...

Chapter 647: Battle of Gold and Silver

Orion’s blade plunged between the gap in the silver armor’s knee. Unlike the indomitability he’d felt colliding with his foe’s shield, what he stabbed… he was certain it was flesh and bon...
