Scorching Ascension - 1.58: Grateful (Unedited)

“I’m grateful to you all and to you especially, Ethan. I wouldn’t be alive if it weren’t for you. But after seeing how things are going, I don’t think I’m cut out for what’s to come. I’d prefer to make myself useful to those who can’t defend themselves. Or to those young people ove...

Undersea Reincarnation - 2.50: Provocation (Unedited)

Henry’s eyes shot open as he felt Maurice’s nudge, and he tuned into his Octominds.

Scorching Ascension - 1.55: Visions (Unedited)

Undersea Reincarnation - 2.47: What do you know? (Unedited)

After a few minutes of climbing where Arisia swore every oath Henry had put Zerathstra through and then a couple to reallyemphasize that she couldn’t use or spread what she learned against him in any way, the two arrived in the stadium-like space he’d visited only a day prior, where he’d learn...

Scorching Ascension - 1.53: Tempting choices (Unedited)

A/N: Have a great weekend everyone!-------------Ethan eyed the two options at the bottom of the list and hummed.He was very much interested in both. Considering regular wands’ traits were called unique, he assumed he could only have one active at a time so even though he was very happy with [Wand ...

Undersea Reincarnation - 2.45: Point of origin (Unedited)

A/N: Have a great weekend everyone!----------Henry’s nap only lasted for a couple of minutes until he realized he hadn’t checked his notifications just yet.

Undersea Reincarnation - 2.44: Focus (Unedited)

Scorching Ascension - 1.51: Claws (Unedited)

As his companions closed their eyes and tried to trigger their tiering-up process with varying success, Ethan turned to the cat. Not wanting to disturb the others, he focused on his connection to the cat elemental and tried to push his thoughts through the link they shared. Just like Ember herself d...

Undersea Reincarnation - 2.43: End of the tour (Unedited)

After the agricultural platform, the trio continued the visit along with Zamir and Semea, with the latter having finally warmed up to them and struck up a conversation with Stormsong.

Scorching Ascension - 1.50: Grief (Unedited)

A/N: As always, thank you all so much for supporting me. Enjoy the weekend :)------------Ethan stood quietly over the unmoving body of Savannah as the cut near her collarbone continued to pulse. A spellcore had already fallen out of it, and now, green filaments were floating out of the blue magic an...

Undersea Reincarnation - 2.42: Thalis (Unedited)

A/N: As always, thank you all so much for supporting me. Enjoy the weekend :)------------The stairway leading up the giant tree was the first of many wondrous little discoveries Henry had made.

------------EDIT: Tweaked the scene a tiny bit and removed a couple of typos. If you read through emails, read this version!------------Amelie’s and Liz’s bolts of magic turned to dust as the visible green ripples of Savannah’s wail reached them, and Ember’s powerful, thick jet of fire was r...

Undersea Reincarnation - 2.41: Tiny (Unedited)

Scorching Ascension - 1.47: Why? (Unedited)

---------EDIT: Hey all! Hope you enjoyed this week's chapters. A small clarification about yesterday's chapter: I started implementing a small tweak last chapter and I will go back and make it clearer early in the story when I'm editing book 1. There was some secret math in the wand'...

Undersea Reincarnation - 2.39: Guardian (Unedited)

Henry brought his arms under his body to help with the twitching while his mind went into overdrive. It felt a bit safer to have them under him. Less risk of them getting chopped off.He wasn’t sure why that would be a concern for him.Focus. This is an A-rank. What the hell do I do? And why does it...

Scorching Ascension - 1.46: Had to watch (Unedited)

Ethan grit his teeth and restlessly tapped his foot as the magic dust swirled and slowly sank into his naked body. He was facing away from the team, but he wasn’t worried about anyone peeking. The sounds of frantic battle told him all that he needed to hear.So while he waited for the upgrade proce...

Undersea Reincarnation - 2.38: Race to the bottom (Unedited)

Henry cursed. With the woman coming down from above, and the man waiting for him below, he changed direction once more and hoped he wasn’t about to find a third person waiting to get the drop on him and this time, he just swam in a direct line to his recently appointed true north: the straight pat...

Ethan sat at the ledge of the tunnel, gazing down at the agitated mushroom-trees of the second layer after he assigned his new point to mana and checked his fragmentsI’m at 405 fragments in the Elemental wand. I’m almost at 500. I have more than a 100 in the Prime wand but if I could just transf...

Undersea Reincarnation - 2.37: Lords and kings (Unedited)

Henry kept his mind shielded as he began planning around the second B-rank near them while his clone kept engaging with the human. Maybe whatever was watching them wasn’t another human, but he really doubted that.More likely, the two B-ranks were a team, and while one of them agreed to be diplomat...
