Wake up!”
Immediately, Reivan slapped Aldimir hard, unable to spare the time to rouse him gently. He then turned to Alini. “Bulwark! Now!”
She didn’t react as fast as he’d liked, but she finished her spell only slightly behind him. Because of proximity, their spells resonated with each other and formed an incredibly sturdy dome of light around them, capable of protecting a...
2024-06-30 15:03:47 +0000 UTC View PostThe days went by relatively slowly for Reivan, mostly because he had to spend a lot of time pretending to study. It was a surprisingly hard thing to do, if he was being completely honest.
If he was actually trying to learn something, then he could just focus on the studying aspect and let time pass normally. But because he was pretending to study, he had to stare at info...
2024-06-30 15:01:52 +0000 UTC View PostWhen one heard about Vel Ayala, most people from the Arkhan Republic would first think something along the lines of how they'd never been there.
Then they would think of how they wanted to go at least once before they died. And then, they would think of a particular building that towered over most mountains, even managing to pierce the clouds.
That building was the Spirit Tower.

But the plans ended up going awry when all the girls decided to turn in early, too concerned with learning the spells they were supposed to learn. It was, perhaps, to be expected, seeing as they worked far too hard for their place as battlemages just to jeopardize it by fooling around too much.

"Them's fighting words, Win." Aldimir voiced from the side, lazily poking at his food. "You just gonna let him talk to you like that? Just gonna let him call you a wuss? Huh? You can't just let him go after he called your balls saggy."
"He didn't call me anything. Stop making shit up. Also, we still haven't talked about how you literally admi...

2024-06-23 17:32:34 +0000 UTC View PostIn preparation for his infiltration of Arkhan's Spirit Tower, Reivan had, under Gwendolyn's advice, submitted a few bills to the office of the king — otherwise known as his brother's office— that would help ensure the operation’s smooth progress.
One of the proposals that actually got approved was a "gesture of friendship" that allowed all battlemages free and specialized p...

Even at full strength, Reivan doubted he could make a scratch in the mysterious spheres the Spirit Tower gave out to their initiates. But then again, it wasn't too hard to imagine a way for even mortals to do so.
'I bet my right testicle that there's a spell for it.'
Reivan shared a glance ...

Reivan sighed and tried to look at the bright side of things, pushing all depressing thoughts to the back of his mind for now.
Luckily, the perfect distraction was right in his pocket.
He reached into his overcoat — which he really should be taking off considering how he’d intentionally roughed it up to look like he’d been wearing it the wh...

Right after he set out with Dom and Dippy, the next few hexagons he entered each had at least one very powerful spirit beast in the area. Of course, though powerful,...

In response to the not-human’s words, the White King growled as he struggled to get up in spite of the agony wracking his entire body. His luscious white fur covered it all, but any part of his flesh that wasn’t already bruised was instead lacerated, slowly draining him of life in the form of imperceivable wisps of energy....

Have you ever experienced the base of your gaming chair literally snapping apart, sending you on a trip to the floor?
I did.
Just a few hours before this chapter came out, in fact. I even hit my head and the laptop on my lap(lol, get it?) also smacked the floor. Holy shit. I almost died and my most important tool in writing almost got smas...
Reivan still couldn't believe it, but what could he do other than accept the fact and move on?
That’s why he stopped thinking about it and moved on.
Especially since he could now feel a connection between himself and the blob — that certainly helped cement the fact in his head. Said connection was similar to the one he shared with Zouros, though not the same.

About eighteen hours since he arrived in the sanctuary, Reivan had explored innumerable hexagons, encountered countless spirit beasts, and tried all sorts of things to coax them into forming a contract on their own.
Yet, he couldn’t find another human to steal from. Nor could he find a spirit beast that wanted to volu...

Just a bit of an intro chapter for the world Reivan got flung into. It took an enormous amount of self-control not to just info dump, and I actually had to cut out a number of paragraphs because it felt too... long?
Lemme know whacha think if you can!
I hope you enjoy and see you in the next chapter~!
[Author's Note]
I'm very sorry for the delay.
Honestly, I'm a little bit like Aldimir in this chapter — I just kinda closed my eyes and then BAM, a few hours passed just like that.
I obviously panicked.
Honest mistake. I'm very sorry.

The ground was soft and uneven, everything smelled dangerous, and he often got his foot stuck on roots or tiny little holes.
It was not an ideal forest to have a relaxing stroll through, that was for sure.
But at the back of Reivan’s mind, nothing could stop him, so he remained calm throug...

While being lugged around on Deni’s shoulder, Reivan was observing his surroundings when he caught sight of something interesting.
There was a group of people in what seemed like an organized retreat, heading deeper into the forest with haste. At the very back of this group, serving as the rear guard, were three Custodian Guards wear...
