AN: It's two cause Maria already had a chapter!
Maria sat on her bed, her hands clasped in front of her chest. She was praying once again, trying to talk to her Goddess. But, despite having learnt her name, she was unable to reach Aperio. No matter how she tried to call out, there was no reply; only silence. Was it a test? O...
2020-03-27 17:50:47 +0000 UTC View PostAN: Beep bep. Chapter time.
Laelia gritted her teeth as she felt the white-hot mana of her Goddess flow through her. She could feel her bones breaking and her muscles tearing, but she could also feel a comforting warmth spread through her as Aperio did something to her soul.
It was almost the exact opposite of th...
2020-03-25 18:08:08 +0000 UTC View PostAN: This chapter contains plot. I also hope google fixed its export to epub. Stay healthy!
Aperio and her group appeared right outside the house of healing, in front of the group she had teleported here. Laelia was rubbing the bridge of her nose, trying to keep the sizable group of people calm, as she noticed her Goddess' ar...
2020-03-21 11:58:36 +0000 UTC View PostAN: I hope everyone is as healthy and happy as one can be during these times. Sadly, not having to go to university or to work does not mean I have more time as I have to do both from home now. I still hope that I can sneak in a bit more writing time, however.
Caethya took a step back as her Goddess emerged from the portal s...

AN2: As some people lamented Aperio's action, I tweaked it a little.
Aperio took a step towards the man she knew to be Vigil, noting in the back of her mind that neither Ferio nor Caethya had followed her into the traitor's Dominion. It was perhaps for the best, as neithe...
2020-03-15 16:07:06 +0000 UTC View PostAN: Pretend this entire chapter is filled with 60s radio crackle.
Aperio slowed down as she got closer to the moon, the celestial rock far larger than she had thought it would be. She knew how big it was as she had observed it through her aura, but seeing it with her own eyes from up close gave her a better understanding of ...
2020-03-12 15:45:53 +0000 UTC View PostAN: Hello, it be the first side story. Time wise, it's happening while Aperio is doing her space walk.
Kiro rolled onto his back, staring at the wooden ceiling. Who is she? The thought had not left his mind after he had been... He shivered and held his blanket a little closer. There was no proper term he could find ...
2020-03-09 17:07:02 +0000 UTC View PostAN: Space... the final frontier.
Aperio knew where she wanted to go, and a thought was all she needed to bend reality to her will. She spread her wings as she felt the world shift around her, saw how her mana separated the threads that held reality together and wove them back together in new ways to bring her where she wante...

Hello again!
This is just an update to inform you of the changes that will go into effect today.
$2 will get 5 chapters ahead and $5 will receive its planned change of wording; all chapters of the main story, as soon as they are done.
Now, the reception to the $10 one was a bit more split. While most people w...
2020-03-06 08:31:40 +0000 UTC View PostAN: This is a chapter! It also has another feature of emotions are hard™.
Caethya bowed her head slightly as her Goddess entered the Void — a name she was not sure she had heard before or simply knew because of her connection to Aperio — and closed the portal behind her. There were a great many things she want...
2020-03-05 16:56:18 +0000 UTC View PostFirst things first, I want to thank everyone who has decided to support me in this creative endeavour. While I still think my work is not deserving of the attention it gets, it has performed way better than I had initially hoped it would.
Now for the reason this little post.
Currently, the tiers that exist don't really make ...
2020-03-04 16:17:47 +0000 UTC View Post AN: This chapter contains plot. Maybe. Probably.
Aperio tilted her head. How strong is the strongest monster here? Then she dismissed the notification that lingered in front of her. That the System was following rules she had set possibly aeons ago did bother her, but not as much as she had thought it would. In the end...
AN: Beep bep.
Aperio dismissed the notifications with a thought and stored her weapon in her Void before she set her eyes upon Caethya. Her first choice for someone to look over the dungeon was either her or Laelia, but she somehow doubted either of them would want to do so. Perhaps they shouldn't. Sh...
"Dungeons are known to create, not to take the belongings of others," the horned man said. His voice was still apprehensive, but it was clear he did not believe the dungeon would have anything that belonged to Aperio. His next words were mumbled more to himself than the winged Goddess. "What could a dungeon even take?"
Aperio took another ...
2020-02-27 16:23:29 +0000 UTC View PostAN: Now you are thinking with portals.
One they had reached the bottom of the stairs, Aperio motioned for her daughter and Caethya to stop. "I will take us the rest of the way."
Ferio seemed to have an idea of what Aperio planned to do as she simply nodded in reply. Caethya on the other hand s...
2020-02-25 16:49:23 +0000 UTC View PostAN: Psssh, it's a chapter.
"You dare to challenge me?" Aperio asked, her voice slamming into the Human like a physical force, causing him to crumple into a heap. "You are weak."
She brought her outstretched arm down in a sharp motion, reality itself seeming to split a...
2020-02-22 13:45:49 +0000 UTC View PostAs soon as Aperio stepped through the portal, she was greeted by a sword that was pointed at her face. The only reaction the blade managed to get out of the winged Goddess was a slight tilt of her head. "That blade will do you no good."
While she might not yet have had the silvery-blue metal used against her, Aperio chose to trust...
2020-02-21 10:07:59 +0000 UTC View PostAN: Hello, yes this is chapter.
Caethya breathed heavily as she stared into the endless dark below her. Her lungs filled with nothing, her hands and knees somehow found purchase on ground that did not exist, and her mind struggled to comprehend what her eyes saw and her aura sensed. Despite not being able to truly understand...
2020-02-17 16:18:41 +0000 UTC View PostAN: Uni stress is mostly over now and I will now try to devote more time to writing so I can hit my actual goal of 10 chapters ahead.
The man took another step back as reality stitched itself back together behind Aperio and Ferio; her portal idea had worked better than expected. Could I teleport without going into my Voi...
2020-02-15 14:45:24 +0000 UTC View Post AN: This chapter is brought to you by mush-brain, pain and a hatred for doors. As always, it had one DuckPass™.
The monsters on the third floor had only increased in strength by a few levels, proving Aperio's assumption to be correct: it was just as boring here as it was on the two floors above. The tiny boost to her 'enemies...
AN: A chapter is here. I am also entering the last stretch of exam-hell so hopefully stress levels will go back down soon.
Aperio squinted at the window she had brought back in front of her. So it gained levels when it got angry? Did ...

The darkness that filled the hallway she was walking through posed no trouble for Aperio's improved eyes, a fact that only managed to briefly stay in her mind before it was discarded as useless. She could see, that was all that mattered.
The first inhabitant of the first floor she laid her eyes on was a large, slimy-looking worm tha...
AN: Uni stress is still at an all time high so continued delays are sadly to be expected. I will try to get the next chapter out by Monday.
Their landing caused less of a stir than Aperio had expected, as the people nearby simply took their presence in stride, making the small detour to walk around the two Goddesses. Maybe ...
AN: If you have a better idea for a title, let me know. Also, as I am approaching exam season, updates may slow down a little over the coming couple of weeks.
The door to the house of healing shook as Aperio knocked lightly on the wood. Fearing it would break, she ceased the movement and hoped that her barrage had been enoug...
2020-01-24 23:40:27 +0000 UTC View PostAs soon as the pair had appeared in the Void, Aperio spread her wings and let herself fall backwards onto the soft nothing – simply hanging in the inky blackness was more comfortable than any bed she had been on before. And it doesn't squish my wings.
"Exhausted?"
The words caused Aperio to sit up and direct her...
2020-01-21 14:09:22 +0000 UTC View PostAN: Chapter with one DuckPass™, as always. Was also hard to write and I am not that pleased with it.
Aperio regarded the crowd for a moment longer before she closed the small distance that separated her from the unconscious heap of a man that was Natio. A small wave of her hand righted the bound man and caused him to float...

Aperio hesitated, not quite sure if she really wanted to enter Natio's Dominion. If the System could classify it, she should have authority over it, shouldn't she? But what if I don't? ...How do I accept it, anyway? Her question was answered when a warm sensation enveloped her and another silver-framed window faded into exi...
2020-01-13 15:42:13 +0000 UTC View PostAN: It had one DuckPass™, as always.
Laelia stared at the tip of her spear. The fact that the being that was now her Goddess had shrugged the attempted attack off with nothing but a tiny scratch to show for it, while the spear itself was now slightly bent and chipped from the effort, still gave her pause. She knew that the Gods ...

The feeling of home that surrounded her as she entered the Void was something that Aperio sorely needed after what she had learned. Taking a deep breath of the nothingness to further calm herself, she looked at the distant river of lights – it had gotten more lively yet again – and shuddered. Just touching them ruins their l...
2020-01-06 15:50:19 +0000 UTC View PostAN: Happy new year and all that.
Aperio tilted her head as she felt a change in the mana that resided inside her well. It had coincided with an action Maria took, and upon further inspection showed that it was not just her that had done something. She had a theory as to why it was happening, but it didn't explain the influx ...
