Uncharted Waters (Case 2, Chapter 16)

Case files were, by definition, never complete. For the most, they had just enough info to convey the general feeling of the case, along with a few specialist notes. There wasn’t a soul that didn’t know about the Midnight Ten massacre. Details had leaked to all the media, some more accurate than others. When it came to the local police, though, there was nothing.

All the reports, as f...

Leveling up the World (Chapter 889)

Chunks of water flew in all directions, twisting, tearing, then merging again without reason. None of them could hold any form for long, controlled by two forces stronger than gravity. Harp’s natural ability allowed her full control of the magic threads that composed the liquid, while Dallion’s awakening powers granted him control of everything within his domain.

It wouldn’t be the ...

Music, magic, attack, art! Dallion flew through the air, constantly waving his aura sword as he did.

There were no additional instances of him—he was too afraid that any use of combat splitting would reveal his location. And since any direct attacks would also have easily given him away, he resorted to a combination he had rarely tried before.

Normally, music attacks comb...

COMBAT INITIATED

Both rushed into the sea at speeds that could be followed by none of the fathered observers. Adzorg’s spell proved completely useless, for while it managed to see at vast distances, it was incapable of slowing down the blurs that were Dallion and Harp.

“Is here good?” Dallion asked, holding his aura sword in one hand and the thread ...

Leveling up the World (Chapter 886)

It was outright shocking how little the initial strike affected the rest of the battle. Dallion would have thought that the near devastation of the flagship—along with an allied copyette emperor—would have quickly caused the enemy forces to retreat. He couldn’t have been further from the truth. By the time that Euryale’s forces poured in into the center of the battlefield, the enemy sho...

The memory ended abruptly. It was longer than all the ones Dallion had experienced in the past and still fell too short. Near the end, he had seen glimpses of his grandmother. If only it had continued for a little bit longer, there was a chance he’d learn more about her: what she was like, how she met his grandfather, possibly who had betrayed them both.

“I’m not going back!” Harp...

Tamin Capital, Age of Humans

A harpsisword? Giaccia looked at the blue rectangle.

That was something new. Not a weapon she particularly appreciated. Artistic weapons required more than perfect mastery in two skills. In most cases she had seen, their owners didn’t have them, resulting in a quick death for t...

MEMORY FRAGMENT

Nymph Capital Sorgente, Nymph’s Era

The archbishop’s prophecy came to pass. One of the insignificant human kingdoms had sent a messenger to the nymphs’ land cities, requesting that they be spared destruction. They were willing to face any consequences and had made a Moon vow to that effect.

Concerned by the coi...

MEMORY FRAGMENT

Nymph Capital Sorgente, Nymph’s Era

Three more kingdoms requested to join the empire. One of them even went so far as to sink their own capital. It had become standard for every conquered territory to go through this—an unequivocal sign that there was only one power to rule all cities.

Standing in the empty thron...

Nymph Capital Sorgente, Nymph’s Era

The death of Prince Astrea came as no surprise. His condition had been deteriorating steadily for the last few years, most of which he hadn’t been seen in public. As was tradition, the news was announced in every corner of the kingdom. However, it was another event that gathered a lo...

Clouds floated gently above the ocean, colored bright orange in the sunset. Most would find them calming, some might even call them beautiful, but Giaccia knew all too well that they were neither.

Water slashed through water as merciless as ice. Two more water golems lost their cores, splashing formlessly to the floor.

That makes seven, Giaccia thought as she twisted in the air.

Three more and she would have been done. Given what she had gone through so far,...

Leveling up the World (Chapter 878)

Thick layers of water covered the hulls of the ships as they approached. Dallion had used one of his aether echoes to fly ahead and cast a ray of destruction before they came into view, but to little effect. Walls of water had risen up the moment the beam had emerged, decreasing its strength to such a degree that by the time it hit the flagship, or barely caused a mark.

In turn, the flags...

ALLIANCE Level not increased due to lack of inhabitants

5000000 inhabitants required for ALLIANCE to improve further

The CAPITAL CITY remains Level 13

So, that’s the limit, Dallion thought. All the remnants of the alliance that had seemed so large a day ago now were insignificant in the terms of the world...

Take care, be well, and hope to see you Monday :)

Leveling up the World (Chapter 876)

A cluster of darts flew at Dallion, emitting a slight whistle as they did. Most would find them easy to evade, and they would be wrong. it wasn’t the tips of the darts that presented a danger, but the sound they emitted—a high-pitched noise spread terror to everyone who could hear. Dallion had no trouble spotting it, although it was very different from any music combination he had heard. Hi...

Leveling up the World (Chapter 875)

Veil’s assessment was rather harsh, but that didn’t make it false. Constant training and daily leveling ups—driven by Hannah—had given Dallion’s forces an initial boost, but not enough. In half a week, both the training stopped having an effect, and the trickle of new inhabitants was far from what the town needed to advance.

Fearing sneak attacks, Dallion would spend most of his...

Children, Dallion thought.

Gloria had agreed to the deal because of her children. As far as deals went this was the definition of perfect negotiation: both sides agreed to a compromise beyond what they were willing to accept and in return achieved everything they wanted.

You haven’t lost your touch. He looked at the overseer. For a single moment, a picture formed...

Black tendrils split the air, filling the sky with void droplets.

Spark, Dallion thought, slashing through them with a line attack. Spark filled his entire body to the point that any void that came less than a foot near would be instantly vaporized.

A glowing line of destruction flew down until it slammed into the ground, creating a large fissure. Unfortunately, the real ta...

“That part of humanity that betrayed the world and was cursed by the Moons as a result,” Veil continued. “It’s all very interesting until you actually realize what it means.”

I thought you knew, Dallion wanted to say. It was hardly a secret, especially since he believed to have been discussed before. Even if that was the case, the emotions within Veil proved that he was...

Leveling up the World (Chapter 871)

The temptation to make use of the skills altar was great and in the end Dallion proved incapable of resisting. There was a small amount of concern that it might end up being a trap, but both Vihrogon and Adzorg were adamant that the Moons wouldn’t allow meddling at such a level. Dallion had also asked Harp for her opinion, but the nymph seemed somewhat designated, merely saying that she’d b...

“What are you doing here?” Dallion retained his composure.

“What am I doing here?” A mocking smirk formed on Tors’ face. “I’m the one who backed your invitation. Did you imagine these things just happen?”

That was a surprise in more ways than one. Tors never hid his disdain of Dallion. The only reason he was even engaging in conversation was because of their...

Leveling up the World - Correction

Hello!

There's a small mistake in chapter 866 (should be corrected now).

At the end, Dallion sees tors Elazni along with the overseer. That is false. Tors doesn't appear at that time.

MINOR WOUND

Your health has been reduced by 5%

The closer Dallion got to the “lock tongue” the more aggressive the bladerers became. Splitting into over two hundred instances, Dallion still couldn’t avoid all wounds. For the moment he’d only received a few, but without spellcraft or familiars they were stacking up. By his rough es...

The door appeared to be one large slab of metal. There were no keyholes, no handles, just a frame and a pair of metal sheets within it. A single line ran down the middle, indicating the place where the doors met. One could say it dared Dallion to slide his thread cutter through and pry the door open. There was every likelihood the method would work, just as it was certain to cause him to fail t...

“I need to have—” Dallion began, but before he could finish the overseer’s hand darted forward with a speed far exceeding that of the otherworlder.

A green rectangle indicated that they were no longer in the real world. At this point, Dallion’s instincts kicked in. Leaping back, he burst into instances, while also summo...

Things didn’t add up. There was no doubt in Dallion’s mind that the echo he had fought back at the Academy belonged to a domain ruler, but the person standing before him clearly wasn’t. Also, he wasn’t supposed to be a mage.

Adzorg, are you sure? Dallion asked.

I had the misfortune of conversing with an echo of his. There’s no doubt.

Could that have...

The word sent shivers down Dallion’s spine. He knew that at some point he’d have to face them, but this was far too soon. He had only started building up his domain. A major encounter with a world power would quickly see all his efforts snuffed away. At best, he’d have to retreat back into the imperial capital. At worst—he wouldn’t have a chance to.

How many? Dallion as...
