97. Of Arcane and Soul I

The room grew cold as my words settled. I could feel the gazes of all my companions piercing my nape. I didn’t need eyes to do so, their souls screamed loud enough for me to understand that.

Yagul eye’s, on the other hand, finally shone with interest.

“So you intent on becoming the patriarch of a new House.” The High Arcanist summed up and I nodded. “I see that you are you...

96. Ish’mat’era

“You are late, Private.” Fynn's powerful voice was heard all over the plaza before the Arcane Sanctum.

“The sun has yet to me.” I retorted with a frown. “I’m well before the accorded hour.”

“Everyone else is already here, that makes you late.” I groaned mentally at his words. “And where’s your uniform?”

I looked down at my clothing, and yes, I wasn’t ...

95. Finishing Touches III

The days slowly ticked by, but that didn’t mean I wasn’t unoccupied.

I spent most of my time fighting Fynn with the help of Amira, and it only became more obvious as time went by why people called him the Ceaseless Storm.

He would not give up. He would not rest. He would not cease.

With our mana pools combined, Fynn would run out of mana far faster than Amira and I, yet he...

95. Finishing Touches II

“Kirielle accepted your summon.” Private Nightfallen explained to him. “She will contact you to ask you about the details soon.”

“Perfect.” Fynn Albeyr nodded. “The matriarch of the Kryol House has also accepted, so the battlefield is set. We have all the required members, and the coup status is progressing without any hindrances.”

The Command Sergeant Major still fe...

95. Finishing Touches I

“Oh, if it isn’t the little healer?” Kirielle saluted me as I entered her office. “What brings you here, Edrie?”

“Little healer, really?” I glanced at her, to which the woman just shrugged. I sighed. “Anyways, I’m not here to pay you a visit, and certainly not for your antics.”

“Oh, really? But people enjoy my antics!” The mentalist laughed.

“Do they?...

94. Warcraft

Our next destination as part of my involvement with the coup d’état preparations led us to the Nikt’un district. The half-submerged noble district was also the historical military section of the city, as not too long ago, the concept of the army didn’t exist. The nation was just protected by the private armies of the Noble Houses.

So, it wasn’t surprising when our gondola stopped...

93. Naturalist III

Even in the sunbathed garden, I could feel the coldness of the men’s gazes. Au’ter’s showed indifference, whilst Fynn’s was filled with commitment.

“You are right,” Au’ter admitted, “I am aware of a way to restitute the High Arcanist of his position. It’s an ancient tradition, established by the first ellari, some tell it was made by Ferilyn herself, but alas, it has fal...

93. Naturalist II

The garden was completely different from the small house. Whilst the house had a single story and wasn’t that big, the garden extended for tens of meters, maybe reaching a hundred. Tall dark blue shrubbery blocked this sight from the outside world.

A myriad of colors composed the landscape. Purple, blue, white; every color of the mana spectrum was present, but it didn’t end there. Som...

93. Naturalist I

“Where were you this morning?” The Ceaseless Storm inquired. “You weren’t seen on first light.”

“I was at the academy, but I made sure to arrive soon back here,” I replied, my tone maintaining professionalism.

I had spent the night on Sin’fal, but as I didn’t sleep much by default, I woke up early and strolled back to Lan’el at dawn. Whilst I wasn’t in my dormi...

92. Embrace V (Explicit)

My heartbeat thrummed in nervousness as we went inside the academy’s female dormitories. Marissa guided me around as she was grabbing my hand. We were covered by the Concealment soul spell and the Silence air spell, basically undetectable by presence and sound. Even if people saw us, they would ignore us.

Even if we were a man and a woman in the female dormitory on the night.

Mari...

Alta Chimera PDF

I decided to post the finished pdf of my novella Alta Chimera here, enjoy! 

34.5. Flesh (Explicit)

This is an additional chapter from my story: Alta Chimera. It's also explicit in nature so reader discretion is advised.

* * *

Icasondra separated her lips from Alta’s, the Moonlight fairy heavily panted as the silver bridge between their mouths collapsed.

The sight of the exhausted and small fairy captivated the chimera. Alta didn’t fail to notice the reflection of the th...

92. Embrace IV

I opened the door to Alatea’s office to find quite a sight. Alatea was healing Marissa as she said she would do, but my eyes were fixated on Marissa rather than the actual healing.

Marissa was looking at the wall, her back at Alatea and me. Her bare-naked back.

It was something simple, nothing sexual about it. We were in a clinic, and she was a patient. But there was something abo...

92. Embrace III

“What’s this?” A non-corporeal voice asked. It was Monica's. “It feels off, like if I’m swimming in impossibly dense fog as if I a cumulus of clouds trapped me in their embrace.”

“I didn’t know you were a poet.” I could feel Monica rolling her eyes even if we weren’t in our physical bodies right now. “Anyways, what you feel is my soul. You shouldn’t actually feel a...

92. Embrace II

To no one’s surprise, Adrian was on the training grounds. The swordsman was shirtless and drenched in sweat. That was a sight I was used to. I had trained with the man on multiple occasions, not as much as Marissa did because they shared affinity, but still not an unfamiliar sight.

What was new, though, was the presence of spectators. Two girls watched from afar at Adrian. They looked y...

92. Embrace I

The dynastic library of the Houtz imperial family did contain interesting books. Forgotten history, traditions, inner schemes of the empire... Amyr shouldn’t have allowed me to have access to the library.

I did reunite him with his son and heir, but me knowing about some covered-up genocides wasn’t exactly a good thing for either party. And boy, do there were a lot of killings. Not ju...

91. Hidden Library

Things were changing, and fast.

I was barely able to see Fynn and Amira, but I knew they were doing something. Since I interrogated that “Shadow”, Fynn put me on the side, not telling me anything. I knew I should pry further, and discover what the heroes of war were doing, but I truly needed the rest.

Well, rest was kind of a strong word.

These last days I was swi...

90. Dissonance II

Alatea and I looked at the spiritual tendrils levitating at the back of my head. They swayed around like grass on a light breeze. I was so tall, my head near the ceiling, and the tendrils flew even higher, they even clipped into the ceiling. The spiritual constructs were completely unphased by physical matter, shifting in and out of the white stone ceiling.

We looked at each other in preg...

90. Dissonance I

“For the twelve stars! How did you get this hurt?” Alatea instantly screamed as I entered her office.

“You’d be surprised.” I dropped dead on her cushion-sofa.

“Edrie, do I need to remind you how just a week ago you told me how you resurrected multiple times, killed a person, assaulted a monarch, and I don’t know, met with a divinity who you apparently already knew?”...

89. Rest

A magic spell came flying directly to my head, but I dispelled it without so much as a second thought as it was a simple seven-star spell that I couldn’t be bothered to remember its name.

“You are quite distracted.” Told the woman who had shot the spell.

She was none other than Sheel, the young arcanist from the Vanguard Order. And although I called her young, she had at least...

88. Subterfuge III

“Did you get something interesting out of her?” Fynn made his way inside the interrogation room once the penumbra’s whining stopped.

“Not much, if I’m honest.” I swept a pulse of lavender mana across my body, washing away my exhaustion. “I don’t know why you made me do this. I have no experience whatsoever in interrogations or compulsions, you surely could have gotten an e...

88. Subterfuge II

Confusion. Pain. Darkness.

When she opened her eyes, she felt as if she had taken the beating of her life, or better yet, died. Oh, how sweet that would be. Death seemed far better than her current pain.

Her head spun around as she tried to recover her senses. Slowly, lucidity came back to her, along with her vision.

The shadow found herself sitting in a small and dark room. S...

Announcement

After talking with a senior writer, I have updated the prices on Patreon's membership. They have become a bit pricier, but I have also increased the number of chapters I'll post in advance. (Old supporters will keep their previous membership pricing)

That's all, enjoy the onslaught of new chapters!

88. Subterfuge I

The city was waking up.

As the rays of lights announced the arrival of the sunrise, the streets of Ferilyn began becoming lousier and lousier. As for me, I carried a body.

The person was alive, mind you. But I doubted they would awake, or rather she. The unconscious mage was quite androgynous, but between a quick survey of the memories and the fact I was carrying them like a sack of...

87. Shadow III

The following days were less exciting, but that was a blessing for a shadow. Tranquility and peace was the best scenario one could desire for spying.

Whilst the not-so-an-arcanist Nightfallen mage was training, she was able to see his other affinity in full use. Nightfallen was pierced by a Leyline Beam, a powerful arcane ten-star piercing-type spell. But what should have been a serious w...

87. Shadow II

It was a new day, but she continued keeping tabs on the possible suspects. She was watching four, currently. The eleven-star mystic, the eight-star mentalist, and the duo that went missing on the outing.

Her new routine was easier than the ones before, as all her targets were gathered on the same campus, meaning she didn’t have to overreach with her shadows. Doing so tended to give her ...

87. Shadow I

She was a shadow.

And she wasn’t talking about her elemental affinity, even if that was the case, but in the utmost literal sense. She was a shadow. Everyone’s shadow.

It was her job to spectate from where people couldn’t see her, their own shadows. She hadn’t been trained in combat but in subterfuge and infiltration. Not a hidden blade, but an unseen eye.

Her skills w...

86. Shift III

The shift back to the corporeal plane was atrocious. Ozone lingered in the air as my body forcefully hit the ground. Bones were cracked; skin was lacerated. Yet I couldn’t care less.

I lived.

I stood up on the solid ground, only to fall back on my very damaged legs. Mystic’s Dominion worked overtime to keep me alive with Regeneration. By all means, I shouldn’t have mana.

86. Shift II

My lungs felt as if they were going to burst as the pressure suddenly changed. I looked at my surroundings, yet I could only see endless light. I looked at my tangible and fleshy hands.

Where am I?

I asked myself, even if I clearly knew the answer.

Somehow, I had been transported to the spiritual plane.

I exhaled all the remaining air in my lungs. The expanding ...
