Chapter 211
Infy looked just like he remembered her from her projection. Except, now she was naked and pale. Dark bangs hid her eyes, but the pain on her face was readable in the lines on her brow and the tightness of her lips. She looked hollow, taut skin covering malnourished flesh.
The fluid around her swirled, bubbles disturbing the green, viscous substance. Tubes ran from the t...

The swirling dark mass approached, a calamity of spiral lightning and black clouds that had broken into Michael’s inner space and was now making a beeline straight for the source of his magic.
Nothing remained in its wake. The asteroid it had swallowed up was simply gone, and Michael dared not think about how many things the mass had eaten that he still had not discove...

There was only darkness inside the hatch. Michael descended, storing the Force Lance in his spatial ring with a flash of wasteful magic, crudely imitating Qi he did not have. As the darkness deepened, shadows appeared all around, shrouding the faint light that still came from the outside and hiding even the rusted steps of the ladder leading down into the depths of the earth.<...

The shockwave propagated through the air, folding and compressing the bridge as it traveled across its length. It washed over the spot where Michael had last seen the Renegade, turning metal to scrap and concrete to rubble, then onwards towards the other shore of the river. It crashed into the forest, uprooting trees and overturning the earth, and finally smashed into the hill...

The door of light deposited Michael in the middle of an empty street. Beneath his feet, tall weeds growing out of the many cracks in the concrete made the ground uneven, their thick roots widening any gap they had found and loosening the foundation of the road.
It had rained not too long ago. The air smelled of it, and large potholes were filled to the brim with muddy wa...

Mere moments after pulling the trigger, the asteroid returned to its full level of detail. Where the little basin of dark rock had been, however, now there was a lake of red-hot molten stone. Debris had been launched into space by the tremendous impact, and pieces of rock and minerals were flying off into space only to disappear when they got too far to see.
A large crac...

As Michael approached the asteroid, it slowly grew from a small gray silhouette against a black background into a larger and larger celestial body. Its features were still mostly hidden, but it was clear that this was the largest asteroid he had ever explored so far, and by a large margin.
It was in the space between two instants that the asteroid became suddenly fully v...

When Michael woke up, for the tiniest of moments he forgot that he was inside the dungeon and thought he was back at Site 00. Then he saw the blinding light coming from outside, felt the waves of heat from the fierce sun up above, and remembered all about the latest challenge he had been put through by the dungeon in his quest to reclaim his long-lost magic and help Infy, the ...

Chapter 203
Michael started running, masking his footsteps with an explosion right where he had been standing moments before. His magic made the ground explode, and immediately after that the worm followed. It tunneled through the dense rock, lifting layers of stone and sediment, making the whole side of the mountain bulge upwards and then pop like an oversized pimple.
“Fucking wo...

Michael walked under the glittering dome of the night sky. Occasionally, an explosion echoed in the distance, its sound reflected by the nearby mountains and cliffs. He kept going until the night was almost black, and then stopped in yet another cave.
He built some collectors, a few batteries, and went to sleep. When he woke up, he developed his Inner Space some more and...

Michael did not wait for the giant worm to converge on his location. If the vision was to be believed, it was so big it could swallow not just him, but the whole cave in a single bite. The tremors intensified, making it hard to even stand, and large boulders crashed down from the unstable ceiling.
He looked outside. The sun was shining in all its terrible power, baking t...

Chapter 199
The dungeon spirit was once again a patch of darkness against the whiteness of the room. But as Infy beckoned Michael closer, he noticed that she was almost see-through. The smoke coming from bene...

The Tree-Alfyr was about to attack again, this time pulling so much magic that the walls were literally withering and turning to dust.
“No,” a voice said. It was soft, like thin silk.
The magic stilled. The Tree-Alfyr crumpled to the ground. Behind him the very same elf who had tried to help him earlier cradled a bloody vine. His hands bled where the thor...

The moment Michael saw what the Tree-Alfyr was doing, he immediately broke into a mad dash towards the old elf. Time did not stretch. There was no slow motion. Instead, it all happened in the blink of an eye.
Michael was still mid-air when he heard the click of the trigger being pulled. The next moment, he was within inches of the elf. He braced for impact, felt the frai...

Michael slept in a cramped room on a bed of leaves. The bed was more comfortable than he thought leaves would ever be, but the room itself had given him a strong sense of claustrophobia. He had tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep, thoughts gravitating around a single topic like the raving of an obsessed lunatic.
A pane of glass usually has imperfections, reflections...

Michael was left free to roam the Seedship as he pleased. The doors would open automatically for him, and the walls responded to his magic intuitively. With Icarus’ help, he even managed to access what passed for the ship’s AI, although he doubted the Tree-Alfyr could have predicted that.
The ship’s intelligence was odd and alien, slow and ponderous. It communicate...

The door was made of translucent bio-material, cold but soft to the touch and with a texture like slightly glossy opaque glass. It was dark green instead of brown, with a seam in the middle that divided it into two halves.
The seam was covered in opaque growth, like a scab over a wound. Tracing its lines, Michael had the sensation that this door had been sealed shut from...

Michael was assaulted by the smell of wet earth, rotting plant matter, and putrid miasma the very moment he stepped out of the portal leading out of the white room. The very next moment, he found himself attacked by an almost solid cloud of insects of all kinds, ranging from giant mosquitoes to other less easily identifiable things larger than his own head.
Then, as if h...

The raw ore orbiting around Icarus’ planet shifted, a gravity wave perturbing the almost perfectly planar ring of multicolored material. Magic spread through the cloud of iron, gold, carbon, and many other elements, seizing its bulk and pulling it towards a small area in the middle of empty space.
Three small dots could be seen far ahead. A silhouette of a man, a stran...

The white light was all-encompassing. Michael was no stranger to it by now, used to what had to be the dungeon’s preferred mode of transportation for its delvers. He wondered if he was getting privileged treatment, being a champion of the resident spirit and all that, before chuckling at his own idiocy.
Of course he was. Infy was even talking to him!
Speaking of ...

There was a gap of at least ten feet between Michael and the robot. This gap extended into a hole several hundred feet deep, at the bottom of which Sitea’s shield was slowly turning metal into molten slag.
Not only was the fall deadly, but there was lava at the bottom.
Making it to the other side of the gap would have been trivial had Michael had a decent amount ...

Michael looked around, frantically searching for a way out.
“Icarus, what’s the status of my magic?”
“The battery pack is full, 100 Copper with a max output of 10 Copper per second.”
He had a regeneration of a single unit per second if he pushed it, but looking at the giant robot seconds away from his position, he doubted the fight would last that l...

Michael clutched the Force Lance with his right hand, while his whole left arm was sunk inside the weapon itself, fingers gripping the trigger and ready to shoot.
The doors opened with a ding. They were slow, agonizingly so, while the whole tower shook as the booming voice of the Lair reverberated through the city. The elevator was thankfully empty, with sterile light an...

Michael hauled the gathered material back to Icarus’ planet. It was a daunting task, with little scraps of ore constantly escaping his mental grasp as he struggled to will the bigger pieces to move into a messy heap that followed behind him as he flew through the empty space. He powered through the pain and the discomfort, not obsessing over the little losses but tr...

Michael gathered his thoughts. Time seemed to stretch as he thought back to his isolation as a powerless human at the heart of Site 00. Forgotten even by his closest allies.
“The resonance pill. Would it have healed me if I had taken it when the Sanctum broke?” he asked.
Infy shook her head. “It would have done nothing. All it does is bring resonance to power...

The elevator doors opened with a ding.
The first thing Michael saw, before his eyes fully adjusted to the light, was a silhouette against a wall of windows. Blinding white light bathed the gigantic, empty room from all sides.
“Took you long enough,” the silhouette said. It was Infy. “Come, don’t be shy.”
Even though he could only see her outline, he...

The wave of force impacted the sphere in less time than it took Michael to blink. The eerie lack of feedback, any sort of recoil or sound or… anything, made using the weapon jarring and uncomfortable. Not even the trigger emitted any sound.
The sphere stood immobile. The afterimages left on Michael’s retina, the faint imprints of the violet energy he had just command...
