“Finally!” he shouted.
Francis activated the skill immediately as a catkin attacked, claws coming at him.
A thread began to appear as the long nails came at Francis, and his mind followed their path, reacting to it. He parried and blocked both claws, his blade shifting the beast’s hand out of position. Francis...

“You two need to think about what you’re seeing and the truth of what it means,” Max said, pointing at the vastness of space above them. There was no moon out tonight, and the stars above felt so close, one ...

"It's earlier than usual," Michael grunted as he sat up. "What gives?"
Sitting up, Francis chuckled. “It’s Phillip. One never knows what he’s going to have us do.”
“That’s for sure… let’s get dressed, I don’t want to be last,” his brother replied.
Francis nodded, anxious to see what waited for him...
2025-10-17 13:00:19 +0000 UTC View PostLevi frowned at the other student standing across from him.
Of course, it had to be Bram.
His opponent was from a family in the north, specializing in the ore and ice trade. Dark black hair and black eyes were among the many telltale signs of someone from that area of the kingdom, as well as a permanent squint caused by the sun on the ice.

2025-10-17 00:50:04 +0000 UTC View PostTanila stood in the doorway, her eyes fixated on their daughter, who was passed out. Max stood behind her, his hand on her shoulder, not saying a word.
She could feel the dampness of her dress where tears had soaked it. Her own soul felt empty and yet light, having spent the last few hours listening to every fear and pain that Miranna had.
“Come, let’s let her sleep,” Max said...
2025-10-16 13:30:01 +0000 UTC View PostMax watched as his daughter and Shale Spark stood on the opposite side of the training area. Edward was dueling different heroes who had been given a spark from him and the other gods. These were a pool of potential candidates. Each one was trying to prove they were worthy of the three open spots on his daughter’s tower team.

Every warrior nearest to him seemed confused. They blinked constantly, many of them struggling to move, only pressed forward by the wall of troops behind. Further along the line of warriors, Francis could see grown men and others closer to his age urinating themselves as they gaze...

I’m currently working on a webtoon for those who didn’t know. Also working on trying to get it as an original on webtoons.
If you havent and are willing, check it out. Maybe sign up and favorite it. If not, I understand, but I figured I would ask and ty!
The sound of the morning bell rang.
"It's earlier than usual," Michael grunted as he sat up. "What gives?"
Francis didn’t reply, simply sitting up slowly.
He couldn’t talk. His mind was struggling with what had happened and the notification before his eyes.

2025-10-15 13:00:06 +0000 UTC View PostMiranna felt the darkness wrapping itself around her as she appeared on the 55th floor of the tower. This boss was supposed to be tougher than the others, and yet her group hadn’t had too much trouble making their way through the early 50th floors.
“It’s hard to see in here,” Vraxion said. “Even with my night vision, it’s as if this whole floor is causing it to struggle.” 2025-10-15 13:00:06 +0000 UTC View Post
Hey all! Just a heads up.
A month ago or so I had an idea and couldn't get it out of my head.
So I wrote a few chapters. Occasionally I write a chapter here or there when my brain forces me to write something. I've got a few other chapters already written. I'll drop a few over the next week or so. Just a perk of potential things I'm cooking.

As the lightning coursed through him, causing his muscles to tense, Francis pushed back, clenching everything even tighter. His teeth ground against each other as he fought with all he had.
He could feel it, see and sense the thread having to work harder to exert its destructive magic. Eve...

This is the eighth one on this path. Who is failing at their job?
She stood up, and scanned the section of the forest, seeing that Alarin was correct in his assessment of the area. “Tell me, Alarin, how many other areas are like this?”

2025-10-14 13:00:05 +0000 UTC View PostIt took a few minutes before his sister let go of him, her eyes wet from all the tears she had allowed to flow.
“You did it!” she exclaimed. “You beat it… does that mean anyone who defeats the tower can come back?”
Max winced and shook his head. “I’m… not supposed to be here. I need to leave soon before I cause problems, and none of you can tell anyone I came.”

The guard stationed at the gate leading to the dorms for the mages wouldn’t budge, no matter how much he had pleaded.
“I know, but my sister–” Francis said.
“It does not matter, s...
2025-10-13 13:00:03 +0000 UTC View PostMax floated high above the city, surprised to see how much of it had been improved. Buildings that had once been only a single or two stories were now three or sometimes five stories tall, stone bricks showcasing rapid growth in such a short period of time. Beneath him, the city was moving like ants, each street bustling with carts and people.
One section was his focus, the area whe...

Francis wasn’t sure what Avelis had said to both of his brothers, but neither approached him. It also helped that he was a floor below Derrek and not forced to live across the hall.
Being the seventh day of the week, each student had one day off to rest or work on anything they desired. Some went into...
2025-10-12 13:00:02 +0000 UTC View Post“Francis.”
“Trina.”
His smile did not elicit a reaction from her as she sat at the table that had officially become his spot. The pair of boys who had been asking questions about getting stronger faster departed upon the arrival of her and the two other mages.
He watched her fingers work again. “Sound bubble?”

“It’s not that I don’t want to, or am not willing.” Jazzjak sighed, waving his hand at the gods in the room. “It’s that I can’t. The system won’t let me show it until one of them reaches tier 5.”

Something flipped inside Miranna. A rage, a hunger, a power she didn’t understand but grabbed onto with everything inside and embraced.

His father sat in a chair in the waiting room, his silver eyes glaring at him, while Avelis Crestfall sat in a chair near him, sipping something warm from a small cup.
