Chapter 147 - TFF
Alan tried to follow behind Kalyntha. It was quite easy as she floated above and was one of the few who could fly. He hadn’t considered trying to create wings with [Shadow Creation] before now, but flying seemed awesome. Still, he decided to wait a bit as it seemed like it would be quite the chall...
Chapter 146 - TFF
Alan could feel the curse at work. The first time had been different, as it hadn’t been truly his. Just a memory of a strange ability that had somehow swum up from the shadows and destroyed what had once been Bonez’s mind. But now it was. The terror, the grief, and the buried trauma spilling out...
Chapter 145 - TFF
It seemed almost futile after the initial surge of adrenaline.Alan’s enemy was fast and undiscoverable. Mana was flowing around them in a chaotic dance that made it hard to trace anything and while his new mind attribute allowed for better cognition and better information flow, it was getting over...
Chapter 144 - TFF
The clash started without much forewarning. Master Wilbis seemed like he was on the verge of exploding himself and his hands danced like the hands of a mad conductor as he rained fire upon the hooded figure before him. Alan hadn’t imagined the talkative go-lucky gnome had that in him.Small, big, r...
Chapter 143 - TFF
Alan felt excitement. He usually did before a fight, but this time it was not his alone. Once again, his now constant companions startled swirling like ribbons of darkness around him, bleeding from his skin and coming out with his very breath. An air of thin darkness that melted away only to reappea...
Chapter 142 - TFF
NOTE: Another slower chapter. Some Emerson, some Worldbuilding, before we get into the midst of another battle. If you enjoy the content I'll look into preparing longer POV chapters between the regular ones. We have plenty of characters to check up on!Emerson stood up once again. Last he knew hi...
Chapter 141 - TFF
Kalyntha was panting. More than thirty orbs spun around her like heralds of death, ready to execute anyone who showed the slightest sign of betrayal. This was all going to hell. She was on the verge of doing what no self-respected low-tier copy would ever do and contact the original. Losing the frac...
Chapter 140 - TFF

Chapter 139 - TFF
An empty dark path.Eternal but broken. Broken but whole.The scars it bore made it stronger than it had the right to be.The old trodden path remembered.It remembered those whose feet had walked upon its cold body.It remembered those whose darkness was only comparable to their light.It remembered thos...
Chapter 138 - TFF
Alan stepped back and watched the suffering man. He was thrashing against the bindings with strength that threatened to tear down the room. But they held. Bonez would go from screaming to crying and begging in a strange language. He would call out to the Bone Lord, and pray for forgiveness. He would...
Chapter 137 - TFF
The room had suddenly grown much smaller. Shadows whirled around Alan like a hurricane, reflecting the storm inside of him, as he rushed with full speed toward Bonez.The [Warlock] screamed as the first shadow blade landed on him and cut apart his robes. The leather armor held, surprisingly. Whether ...
Chapter 136 - TFF
“The Bone Lord’s offer needs to go first,” Alan said. His anger flared up at the thought of what he had gone through, even if Enid’s touch had made it easier to bear. “I don’t know what you do to them, or what you gain from it… and how you even take it away, considering it’s not mine...
Chapter 135 - TFF
NOTE: Some of the descriptions in this one might be a bit much. I don't know.Alan lost track of time. “Pity,” the figure had said before throwing Alan back into the bone meat grinder. He did all he could to keep his composure. To focus. He didn’t know how to use his title, but there had to...
Chapter 134 - TFF
The sky hung low. Too low. It was artificial at best and conjured by someone who didn’t care for making it look real. Or like the being responsible for it had seen skies a long time ago and worked from hazy memory. The world around was a jagged mess in different shades of white and yellow. Skeleto...
Chapter 133 - TFF
Alan was lost in thought as they began walking toward the insides of the fragmented temple. He was taking it easy, letting some of his mana regenerate, while he thought things through.The shadows and their whispers were his ever-present companion. He somewhat missed the demon because of them, but he...

Chapter 131 - TFF
The giant stood on the sides frowning. He was eyeing the large skeletal monster and it seemed like something about it was giving him a pause. He knelt on one knee and stabbed the sword in the ground. Steam started rising out of the many segments of his ornate armor and he closed his eyes before mumb...
Chapter 130 - TFF
The giant tackled the doll just as it was about to attack Alan again. He came from its side with a roar, each of his steps making the ground shake. The two went rolling on the ground exchanging punches that made the surroundings tremble. Alan wondered how the giant was taking all the beatings. His a...
Chapter 129 - TFF
What had been a somewhat calm process of farming the ceaseless streams of dolls, parasites, shifters, and now prowlers, became a massacre.The aura coming from the battle was like a drug injected straight into Alan’s veins. He could feel the mana fueling countless strange skills rumbling around. Th...
Chapter 128 - TFF
NOTE: I'll be editing ch. 127 a bit in a few moments. Nothing major.“We can’t just rush back so soon.” Kalyntha said after a while, seemingly having thought things through, “We need to check for other artifacts and portals. If the temple keeps getting flooded by monsters from the battlef...
Chapter 127 - TFF
The new monsters were a confused mess for a few seconds until as one they turned toward the sounds of fighting. The strange wolves quickly separated into packs and moved like streams of water – silent and fluid through the ruined temple’s buildings.Alan left his vantage point and moved to interc...

Chapter 125 - TFF
Alan fought recklessly and with unbridled joy, a dark shadow among the faceless masses. He helped Zirida whenever he could, although she didn’t seem to be having any difficulties. Her style now was the total opposite of the first time he’d seen her fight, and while it was slower, it was also mor...
Chapter 124- TFF
With the shadows covering him, and the world just a bit bleaker if more welcoming to him, Alan felt powerful. He couldn’t remember the last time he had felt so deserving of being in his skin. All discomfort and doubt left him under the effect of his favorite skill.As his feet pushed against the gr...
Chapter 123 - TFF
Stepping into the temple was like stepping into a different world. The silence suffocated the group, hanging like a guillotine above them. Passing through the dark door revealed a scenery much different than the fractal itself—a memory of something much more beautiful.Stone buildings stood broken ...
Chapter 122 - TFF
It was a gruesome affair, but Alan found himself unable to look away. It went on for a few minutes before the man stopped thrashing around and took his last breath. Kalyntha frowned at that.“It felt as if his mind was protected. All I gathered was that he had to kill you, Ziri.”Zirida nodded. Sh...
Chapter 121 - TFF
The next few hours were spent in quiet musings and meditation. In the end, Alan felt as if he was in his prime both in body and mind, despite everything. Nothing strange happened this time around, allowing him to truly take a breather and rest. The days of lugging around a cane were long gone, repla...
Chapter 120 - TFF
Alan followed behind Zirida trying to understand the situation. As far as he understood the dragon’s disappearance was worrying as it was the whole reason the Fractal was given the attention it had, despite how little it offered in terms of resources. Apart from the void jessamine plan, void cores...
Chapter 119 - TFF
“So will your Blood God strike me down for the sinner that I am?” Alan asked furrowing his brows. This was a good lesson to think more before accepting weird requests. Not that he would. But the lesson was there.“No, no.” Zirida waved her hand, “It’s just because I’m a follower so my s...
Chapter 118 - TFF
He still needed some major rest before preparing the curse mark or trying to curse her, considering the differences in their strength. Zirida warned him that it could be a bit dangerous, but it wouldn’t kill him. That piqued his interest. New experiences were like gold, and each helped him grow.Th...
