Sphinx's name.
Good evening everyone!We're here for a special poll: it's time to choose Sphinx's future name. First of all, I'd like to reassure everyone that Sphinx will be changing her name for story-related reasons, as well as to reflect the fact that she's growing up. Just as you might call...
Chapter 172: Resolutions
Last chap before the Necro Event!*The wings of the Phoenix subtly covered its beak; an avian equivalent of a grimace."I'm an AI based on the echo of a Phoenix Prince created from a diluted tear. As such, I have a limited ego and an impossible goal: to keep you alive until you kill my origina...
Chapter 171: Kazuki vs Ève
The Necromoon event arc starts in two chapters... I can't wait!Enjoy!*Kazuki scrutinized his opponent with unwavering focus. Ève – or Ophia, as she preferred to be called – was a petite young woman, at least from the perspective of a titan-class hoplite. In reality, she stood twenty centime...
Chapter 170: The Kill List
I really enjoyed writing the end of this one. PS: difficult weekend, Sphinx's vote will be posted Monday evening without fail!*A few hours earlier.Priam couldn't make a move without Sumstreh reading his thoughts in advance, but his Assistant might be exempt. Otherwise, it would be game over....
Chapter 169: Eyes Are the Window of the Soul
A very difficult chapter to write... The second part should be read carefully? I think you've got the information you need to understand what's really going on. If not, answer in the next chapter ;)Enjoy!Btw, things are going to accelerate from the next chapter onwards.*Prometheus halted his...

Chapter 167: All Hell Breaks Loose
Happy New Year to you!I especially wanted to thank all of you who support me. You give me the strength to write so much and to challenge myself. I've arranged to work less at my day job so I can write more starting this summer. It's a long way off, but then I should be able to increase the n...
Chapter 166: He Who Burned The World
Not the easiest chapter to write.Lots of ideas for Sphinx's name, thanks everyone! I'll compile it all and put it to the vote at the end of the weekend - you've got until then to give your ideas as a comment on chap 165 or on discord.Byt the way, I don't intend to abruptly change her...
Chapter 165: "They're gonna be too crispy!"
Big chappie, hence the delay. Next chapter: tomorrow (that's a promise!)By the way, one of you suggested I rename Sphinx. It's her race's name and not really hers, after all. So let's put it to the vote. I'll let you think of a name that you can comment on this post and I'll ...
Chapter 164: Chekhov's gun
The vacations are over! This is Sunday's chapter that I couldn't post because of the holidays. Next chapter: tomorrow!*Hyshana's smile vanished as she beheld Kazuki's condition. She hurried to her husband's side to support him while Priam instructed Log-a-rhythm to prepare a bath...
Chapter 163: Friends or Foes?
It's late and maybe I shouldn't have promised a second chapter today, but here it is!Tomorrow's chapter is going to be postponed because I'm taking the train to join my family today and I don't know if I'll be able to write. In any case, I'm on vacation so I'll catch ...
Chapter 162: Mechanical Phalanx
Sorry, this is yesterday's late chapter! Today's chapter is coming in a few hours. Enjoy!*In the dark sky of Concepts Archipelago, a figure danced, leaving a fiery trail behind. The glow of the flames cast a supernatural reflection in the Fire Sage's hair. If mist had invaded his eyes, t...
Chapter 161: Fire Sage
Weekly schedule: Wednesday (today), Friday, Saturday, Sunday.Enjoy!*Surprise painted Priam's features upon hearing the question. How does this thing know I haven't spent my Merit Points?Suspicion replaced surprise. "Are you spying on me?" he asked, his tone icy.Like anyone, Priam val...

Chapter 159: Icarus and the Sun
Sorry for the delay, I would have posted a chapter yesterday but the end of the year is grueling.Next chapter: tomorrow!*“What's a slave?” Sphinx asked with innocent curiosity.Myuri grimaced at the question. Seated on a wooden terrace at the summit of Log-a-rhythm, her feet dangling in the v...
Chapter 158: Get a Room!
Enjoy!*A stack of wood floated behind Priam as his Assistant had advised him to use [Kinetic Control] and [Moon Mist] at every possible moment. The surroundings were thus saturated with an invisible mist, courtesy of his routine application. It wasn't the most efficient way to level up, but it w...
Chapter 157: Final Preparations
Enjoy!*Priam carefully placed his load at the base of Log-a-rhythm before leaping. At the peak of his jump, he used the trunk as a springboard, gaining a few extra meters to reach the first branch. The tree had experienced a growth spurt, becoming the Guardian of the Forest. Perhaps it sought to dom...

Chapter 155: Nocturnal Confessions
Have a great weekend! A chapter to celebrate and the next one tomorrow!Enjoy!*Calm and collected, Kazuki stretched upon emerging from the basin. The contact of his feet with the stone created a fleeting wave of light that spread across the marble before vanishing a few meters away. It was the sole i...
Chapter 154: Soul Link
Hello to the new patreons!To respond to certain comments:Priam is not going to enslave all his other rivals in the same way. There are several rivals so each can have a different story. Some will be allies - willing or otherwise - some neutral and some enemies. We see a little of this in this chapte...
Chapter 153: A Pact with the Devil?
A chapter I've rewritten several times. I wanted to show that Priam had evolved. He's both human and pragmatic. I think this is the most intelligent solution possible. Morally questionable, but the most interesting for Priam and his family.Enjoy!*Jasmine fixed her gaze on Priam, awaiting his...
Chapter 152: Fallout
Next chapter: tomorrow or monday morning. Sorry for the delay, I caught the covid. One more time... I'd like to thank the pills that made it possible for me to write. There are two references in this chapter, I wonder if you'll find them!Enjoy!*Priam forced a smile as Micro smoothed the beat...
Chapter 151: Soul Tiers
Next chapter: tomorrow!Enjoy!*"Attacking a tank as an assassin is rarely a good idea," Priam commented. As he spoke, he began conjuring his new invisible mist toward the assassin."If I hadn't been warned, I would probably be dead," Kazuki replied in a neutral tone.While keeping a...
Chapter 150: The Guardian of Secrets
I meant to post this yesterday but I was swamped with work, sorry. The end of the week is quieter so there will be 4 chapters this week, no worries!*Glancing at his quests, Kazuki grinned. The bounty on Skull had vanished: Priam had succeeded. If I don't hurry, he'll think I'm weak. This...
Chapter 149: Soul Harmonization
Enjoy!*Jasmine treaded cautiously as she entered the eye of the cyclone. Moving with light steps, she embraced every shadow and tree, advancing while scrutinizing her surroundings. The remnants of the battle proved that she was in danger if any of the protagonists were still able to fight.It had bee...
Chapter 148: Dragon's Law
I was going to go for two parts, but I find it's more impactful that way. Enjoy!*A furious howl shook the forest as Priam vanished into the mist. Sixty meters away, he reappeared at the center of the circle formed by the skulcs. Without hesitation, he tapped into the mist concept. Taking advanta...
Chapter 147: Gimme All Your Blood
Sorry, I meant to post yesterday but the chapter was getting too long. I cut it in two. I'll post 148 by noon tomorrow. I'm planning to post chapters 149 and 150 this weekend, so it'll be a big week!Enjoy!*Kazuki squinted as he observed most of the warriors deserting the village. They mu...
Chapter 146: Snow Ambush
Enjoy!*A skeletal figure halted before a curtain of vines. Fumbling blindly, it eventually located the secret entrance and ventured forth. Wild vines slid over its decaying flesh without causing it concern; their potent paralyzing poison had little effect on the undead. A few meters ahead, a second ...
Chapter 145: The Mist Rises
A bit late, sorry.Enjoy!*Reacting to his thoughts, Priam's draconic instinct stirred. A pessimistic feeling washed over him. If he attacked with a Breath, the Shaman would survive. Then, the entire village would pursue him into the forest. Not a good idea.Priam was confident in his ability to ou...
Chapter 144: Rivalry
Saturday's chappie, enjoy!Next one: tomorrow!*One Potential point per skulc slain. Two Bosses, each promising a unique reward. As if that weren't enough, Priam's next target was a rune stone that sat at the center of the skulk village. Seth had no inkling of the stone's powers, excep...
