Unlike the main dungeon, the Aeres academy fault rarely changed in layout for the first three floors. The monsters that lived in those floors were not the kind to alter the geography of their home, no matter how often adventurers tramped through the corridors and caverns waylaying their residents for their mana shards.

She should have anticipated the problem.
Staring at the small army - soldiers and cultivators alike - gathered before her, Yang Mu berated herself for her lack of foresight. It was clear, now with the benefit of the perfect understanding of the present, that past her should have foreseen the issue with traveling at speed with such a large group of powerf...

They had been walking for most of the day, Wu Ying occasionally asking pointed questions about previous plants he had come across, or taking his time gathering the various plants and spirits around.

Back then, the entire process of reincarnation had been blocked by my patron. There was no way for me to recall why I had managed to keep my memories and not drink from the soup of forgetfulness. All that I recalled was a vague sense of choosing a singular, powerful skill rather than a series of smaller, integrated ones. I could not remember why I felt the need to drive downwards, beyond my own...

He bent low, brushing his hand above the pair of mushrooms growing in a sheltered nook between the roots of the towering tree. His fingers danced across the air, taking in the aura emanations from the fungi before he peered at it further.

Returning to camp with the smell of slow-roasting meat filling the air was a wonderful surprise. The soldiers, beaten and battered after hours of training - including late into the night as the colonel took advantage of the presence of two cultivators as the antagonists - picked up their pace, moving towards the glowing fires in the distance. They were still discipli...
2025-03-11 13:00:07 +0000 UTC View PostThere is a reason I fought unarmed and it had a lot to do with familiarity. While I had trained with weapons a little, I rarely pressure tested myself with them. I certainly never pressure tested any of my skills against monsters. Having watched some of the other Ternioth fighters train their katas during the occasional celebrations and shows held through the city, it was clear that some of the...

I live in Canada, so while things are somewhat more uneasy (like, having to seriously discuss the possibility that maybe, our formerly closest ally might decide to invade us was not on the cards even a few months ago) than I'd like, it's not as though we're seeing the imposition of a fascist state in our country.

So this is our... third (?) year selling wide. Well, third year with our current e-commerce platform, though we used Payhip and Woocommerce before, so I guess we're roughly 4 years in. I figured it might be worthwhile to discuss what we have found worked well to drive sales, what hasn't, and what we do.
Firstly, though, I guess it might help to see how we did:

Rarest – and most illegal of all – were faults created by humans directly in an attempt...
