Redemption Arc 70

With both Denzel and Rowan vouching for Lucian, they were able to return to Verne without suffering an inquisition. Denzel played the role of the man that didn’t like him, but was honest for hone...

Redemption Arc 69

Lucian thought they had quite a conundrum on their hands. There were two sides that needed to be persuaded, in his view. They needed persuade Rowan and the others that nothing shady was going on. M...

Redemption Arc 68

Lucian leaned on a dilapidated fence in the abandoned farmstead that they had chosen to meet up at. Night was falling, but it was still light enough to peer out into the river. He had a small degre...

Redemption Arc 67

As Lucian looked up upon the avatar of the First Emperor in this journey through time, he felt infinitely grateful that he’d grabbed the Formless Essence before this guy had come up from behind w...

Redemption Arc 66

Lucian blinked open his eyes. Water rushed around his body, passing by it as if he were a stepping stone in a stream. He had grown used to a world of vivid colors, but now the sky that he saw lacke...

Redemption Arc 65

Lucian could still remember quite well the first time that he realized the player could freely trek through the Hells. The first trek had been an experience like nothing else. Considering the const...

Redemption Arc 64

Belcourt walked through the mountain passes leading to their stronghold in Riverra with a slight limp. He was gritting his teeth, and his breathing was heavy. From his belt hung a black leg, frozen...

Redemption Arc 63

Vivari the Veiled. She was the final boss of the first act, but despite that, she was a fair bit stronger than many of the bosses that came after her. Stat-wise, she easily dwarfed Metterand. The p...

Redemption Arc 62

Lucian tentatively walked into the top floor of the spire in the Hells, holding his Inquisitor’s Spetum aloft so that it made no noise. Aurelia had advanced ahead, and watched him silently in her...

Redemption Arc 61

Fear came from the unknown, from a lack of understanding. So people said, anyway—Lucian had never bothered to do a deep dive into the subject. Either way, as Lucian strode forward into the Hells,...

Redemption Arc 60

Though the Student Ambassadors of the Collegium were moved about in a great cart with no roof, the chancellors of the Concord sat in a well-managed carriage, following just behind them. The four sa...

Redemption Arc 59

These days, Lucian had elected to forget about using the classes for anything but a vector to learn useful skills and spells. All of his stat gains were coming from purified essence and blessings o...

Redemption Arc 58

Lucian stood with Miriam in Charlton Lowenthal’s lab, peering over her shoulder as she worked. She held the Jeweled Eye underneath a looking glass of some kind—not quite a microscope, but close...

Redemption Arc 57

“Has Duke Cyril come to talk to you about removing Lucian as auxiliary to the Student Ambassadors?” Denzel asked Dean Mortimer.

The old man looked unsettled. Denzel couldn’t exactly bla...

Redemption Arc 56

“Do you understand and intend to comply with the procedures laid out in your trial, Lucian Villamar?”

Lucian stood before a judge in a room in the Concord he’d never thought he’d ente...

Redemption Arc 55

Lucian elected to get out of the carriage a little while before Denzel so they weren’t seen together. It was a mutually agreed upon arrangement. The both of them understood fully well now that ea...

Redemption Arc 54

Lucian parted the flaps that led into a tent with a great deal of clearance. Hazy smoke drifted in and around this ostentatiously decorated place. It looked a little bit like a circus, though there...

Redemption Arc 53

Duke Clemens Metterand was possessed by a demon—a demon slain at Heavenwatch Monastery.

That news reverberated throughout the entire continent like wildfire in a dry summer. The attack on t...

Redemption Arc 52

For a fairly long while now, Lucian had been contemplating people that might suffice as a powerful patron. After the death of his brother-in-law, Duke Metterand, that was doubly important. A great ...

Lucian and his of yet unnamed benefactor stormed out of the mausoleum moving at a high speed. He clung to their back tightly. He hoped that he wasn’t causing discomfo...

Redemption Arc 49 (2)

Now that Lucian had spent his trump card making sure that Duke Clemens Metterand—all-around bastard, warmonger, and abusive brother-in-law—got his just desserts, th...

Redemption Arc 48

As Lucian watched Metterand storm over, cutting across the waterlogged hallway, his mind hadn’t yet decided on a solution. He had a few potential candidates, each with problems. It was generally ...

Redemption Arc 47

“Lucian!” Metterand shouted, his voice echoing into the mausoleum. “Lucian!”

Lucian lightly tapped his forehead against the wall. “Stupid dog… stupid, stupid dog…”

Right...
