Chapter 401: Highbloods in Low Places
CAERA DENOIR
Heavy black clouds had turned day to night, pouring down thick sheets of rain that pummeled the streets of Aensgar on the Redwater. The city was eerily quiet under the blanket of rainfall, broken only by the rattle of carriage wheels over wet cobbles or the rare shout from an unlucky soul caught out in the storm as they rushed furtively toward their destinati...

Here's another sneak peek for tomorrow's episode! The storyboard behind-the-scenes seems fun to a lot of you.
I'll be sure to mix up more storyboard and sketch previews :)

Hellooo~
So after a few weeks of testing out the novel previews, I decided to make a poll to see if my readers wanted me to keep this up.
I know there were a few mixed reviews in the beginning in terms of length, haha. I'll keep voting options simple, but I'll leave the comment section open for more detailed feedback ^^

ARTHUR LEYWIN
Spells burst in the air in showers of blue, green, and gold, trailing sparks and popping to an accompaniment of cheers from the ground below. The breeze carried the sound of hundreds of jubilant voices and the smells of roasting meat and sweet pies. A little girl, no more than five or six, sprinted past us, her face red and her grin growing wider with each s...

The sterile glow of my workbench lighting artifacts illuminated an array of parts that were spread out over the dark wood. Silver runes ran around the edge and across the surface of the Imbuing workbench in circles of varying sizes.
I picked up two nearly-identical objects: hexagonal fittings with a series of grooves and notches etched into the inside. Bo...

A/N: A bit of a longer preview this week, although I think the POV might be given away just a little bit....
A life was made of thousands of little moments like this…the fear and the pain clear over everything else, teaching a person not to touch a hot surface or put their thumb on the wrong side of the blade. It was a large part of the material that forged a personality. 2022-09-14 23:52:43 +0000 UTC View Post

Hi, everyone! Popping in with an update that I believe a lot of my patrons will be happy to hear!
As most of you know, you can read ahead for TBATE on my Patreon. I have gotten quite a few requests to change Patreon’s billing system since all my readers get charged on the 1st of the month. While every creator has to abide to their billing system, after repeated talks with the folks ov...

Leaning against the base of a squat apple tree and chewing on the last of its ripe fruit, I stared out at the fields south of Blackbend City.
Once these flat plains and low, rolling hills would have gleamed gold with endless fields of wheat, but large swaths of farmland had been crushed flat by the tent city now ringing Blackbend’s southern edge and ...

When the man saw me looking, he nodded firmly. “General Arthur. The Alacryan highbloods managing the city have been quite upset for the last few days, terrified that you would show up and hoping fervently that you wouldn’t.”2022-09-08 21:49:34 +0000 UTC View Post

ALDIR
The air of the Cerulean Savanna, home of the Thyestes Clan, was warm and dry, but a slight breeze always blew over the grasslands, making the tall blue-green blades dance like ocean waves. We called this the Warrior’s Wind, a magical phenomenon conjured millennia past to ensure that the pantheons training out in the hot savanna would always have a breeze to cool t...

Chapter 396: Limitless
Varay remained utterly still as my hand rested over her sternum. With Realmheart active, I could see the purified mana-like translucent snowflakes compacted within her core, perfectly controlled and radiating with purpose. The particles were steadily being distilled and released back into her body through her channels to strengthen her physical form and keep the conjured arm in place.

The scalding metal sizzled against bare bone, charring it black as the flesh around it melted. Water hissed as it hit the black iron, sending up a cloud of steam. I cursed and pulled back.

I was floating in a familiar hazy amethyst sea of emptiness.
The nothing-space stretched away into infinity in every direction. The absence of anything real and tangible was simultaneously a source of comfort and anxiety. Floating within it, I felt like a child huddled within my blankets, afraid of a monster under my bed I was almost certain w...

My feet pounded along the bare floor of the long hallway. It was so, so long…had it been this long before? The pale lights blinking on and off, on and off…
I could hear them, the idiots in the crowd, cheering as if my entire world wasn’t about to end, as if he wasn’t going to kill her. When had my friend become so blinded by his desire to rule? 2022-07-29 17:01:04 +0000 UTC View Post

Scythe Seris’s soft steps were entirely silent against the stone stairs in front of me while retainer Cylrit’s were barely a whisper behind, making my own echoing footfalls sound like so many war drums in the long, winding stairwell beneath her Sehz-Clar estate.
Dark gray stone pressed in around us, making the narrow stairs feel even more cramped an...

I could practically feel the frayed ends of Varay’s nerves firing next to me. At her other side, Mica’s mana signature was a weak hum. And yet, both Lances stood firm in the face of a terrible enemy. A swell of pride fortified my own commitment.
I was glad to stand next to these warriors in defense of my home. Each of us had faced down certain death...

The scene around me seemed frozen in time.
Richmal’s face was slack, his focus on the magic coming undone as he watched with awe. At his side, Ulrike blazed with internal light, more and more mana pouring out of her, the web of electricity growing brighter in coordination with her efforts. Her crimson eyes avoided me as she focused on her spell, the muscles of her jaw working...

Living with this constant fear of being unable to protect my loved ones…I had nearly forgotten what that felt like.
