Minkalla Chronicles Floor 6
Enjoy. I had fun with this one.***Minkalla Chronicles Floor 6Eraxs ran.He ran for his life.Draxs, Craxs, Braxs, and Araxs were all already dead, and he didn’t want to end up like them.Folded Reflections was a floor of mystery, and in Minkalla, mystery translated into danger.Anyone who had ever got...

I will answer any questions here but most of my attention will be there, come join the discussion it will be fun.htt...
Chapter 210
Lets talk about how this arc will finish out. The 3rd will be the last Matt chapter and then the 6th will be the Emp chapter to finish out the arc.Normally at that time, finishing an arc, I would take a two chapter break. And I kinda sort of will. The 10th and 13th will be breaks for everyone else a...
Chapter 209
Chapter 209Luna watched the planet of copper and gears floating in front of her and waited.It took a deliberate effort to not allow her perception of time to slip into a timeframe relative to her Tier. That would just make it take subjectively longer for the children to get out. Great for when she n...
Minkalla Chronicles Floor 5
Minkalla Chronicles Floor 5Alvin looked at the cluster of buffalo with various elemental horns and contemplated how he could kill them.Things had changed.His team had earned enough Genesis Energy on the fourth floor, but with his repeated injuries and captures, he had been stuck in a rut. If not for...
Chapter 208
Chapter 208Liz looked at Matt, red-eyed and with sadness dripping from her voice. “I loved fire growing up. Still do, really… the flicker of the flame, like a tiny life of its own. Mom would always play with me using her fires, they’d be there when I scraped my knee, or if I was tired or bored...
Chapter 207 (2/2)
This is part 2 out of 2 for this chapter.Chapter 207Aster came out of her reflection and spat. The ice cream had been fine, but the fourth and fifth lives they’d brought her to were less than stellar.In one, Matt had died, leaving her all alone, which had been frankly awful. And while the Concept ...
Chapter 207 (1/2)
This is close to 15k words to I'm splitting it into two posts. The next one will come out roughly five minutes after this one.1/2Chapter 207Aster stretched out across the floor, nose tucked between her front paws as she thought. Being a human was still an unusual situation, but now she was tryin...
Chapter 206
Chapter 206Aster found herself sitting in a room similar to their living room, but there was one subtle difference.Someone had forgotten to turn off the air conditioner, and everything was covered with a layer of frost.Frankly, she needed to try that herself, but what really caught her attention wer...
Chapter 205
We will be having the end of arc break on the 1
Chapter 204
Ok lets have that talk.This is important so please read. Seriously.So the next chapters are the folded reflection lives. No surprise there. But. BUT I wrote those a little differently. Normally I have an idea for how I want to write a chapter and crank it out but the reflection lives are a chance fo...
Chapter 203
We will be having the end of arc break on the 10th and 13th don't forget.Chapter 203Matt roused with a groan as Liz gently shook him awake.Everything hurt, so he immediately channeled [Endurance] to help alleviate the aches and pains.But where the skill normally washed away soreness like this, i...
Chapter 202
This arc is ending for the Tier 15 patreons on the 6th so the 10th and 13th will be a break for everyone. Not ideal with how we had a break with christmas but that is how things worked out and I need the time to plan out the next arc so there will be no chapters on the 10th and 13th.Chapter 202React...
Chapter 201
We will be having the end of arc break on the 10th and 13th don't forget.Chapter 201Matt’s copy shot out a [Mana Slash] immediately upon seeing them, while Aster’s cast [Ice Spear] at the same time.It might have been threatening, but the two spells were half-formed at best; they were so weak...
Minkalla Chronicles Floor 4
Minkalla Chronicles Floor 4Kristan breathed slowly through the snow and blinked as quietly as she could, trying to see what was going on around her without giving away that she was still alive.Letting her eyes unfocus, she checked her surroundings as best she could without using her spiritual percep...

Chapter 199
Chapter 199Slipping to the side, Matt avoided the rake of a lizard monster's claw and punched the air, casting [Fist Blast] with his short jab.While too weak to do serious damage, it was enough to knock the lizardman off balance, causing its follow-up tail swipe to narrowly miss him. With the op...

Book 2 Chapter 31 EMP POV Epilogue
This insert is between Chapter 72 and 73 which is where book two will be split from book three.Chapter 31Emmanuel let out a long breath, and he finished the last dozen forms and requests that needed his attention.It was an unending battle, but it had its high and low points. And at the moment, it wa...
Chapter 198
While we wont have a Minkalla Chronicles chapter this week we will have a EMP pov that will be ending book 2. Its not long but needed to add one as thats the end of book tradition and I dont want to make anyone get the entire book to read it.Chapter 198Matt walked through an alley and shied away fro...
Chapter 197
Chapter 197Matt’s spiritual sense didn’t even have enough time to properly register what was in the safe room before he rolled to the right. At the same time, Susanne’s and Aster's AI linked with his own, giving him a wealth of information.He came out of his initial dodge and kept sprintin...
Chapter 196
Chapter 196Matt and his friends were sitting around the living room playing a board game. Well, technically Susanne and Aster still were. He and Liz had been defeated already, and Aster was shamelessly cheating, but somehow still losing to Susanne.As Aster's defeat became even more apparent, Liz...
Chapter 195
Chapter 195When Matt finally got back to the fight, it was over.Given the number of cultivators he’d had to fight on his way, and just how long it took him to get back on his feet, he wasn’t terribly surprised. It had been perhaps five minutes since he’d been thrown several blocks away from th...
Minkalla Chronicles Floor 3
Minkalla Chronicles Floor 3Vibia took a deep breath as she entered the third floor and smiled.She felt good.Despite her losing all of her cultivation, she felt fantastic. Better than she had in centuries.Everything looked interesting and new, from a weaker perspective, and she had never felt so aliv...
Chapter 194
Tier 1 Pats. Remember no Monda
Chapter 193
Ok so information for you all. This is a 8k chapter and 194 is a 10k chapter. Normally with two chapters this large I'd split them into three and cut down on the individual word count but they are fights and I refuse to cut a fight in the middle.That said I will be counting 194 as a double which...
Chapter 192
Someone asked how you pronounced Minkalla. So here it is for everyone. Min-Ka-lla.Chapter 192Luna watched the planet spin below her, not blinking.It had been too long since the last of the people who exited had done so from a new floor.The first half of the cycle was about as promising as she could ...
