Percy was about to speak, to brief Doh and Latt on what he’d discovered about the ring, when Zoris stopped him.
‘Were you seriously going to talk to them again? With your mouth? Like a caveman? You’re telling me you regularly jump across bodies, possessing people entire worlds away, but you don’t know about basic soul communica...
2025-07-22 06:00:06 +0000 UTC View PostPercy was sitting against the boulder, using it as cover from the howling winds. It was slanted, shielding him from the snow, though a few flakes still made their way to him every now and then. They formed three small mounds – one on his head, and another on each shoulder.
The cold itself didn’t bother him much – it would have been s...
2025-07-21 06:01:02 +0000 UTC View PostProbably noticing he knew more about the object than they did, the Melodians all looked at Percy eagerly, clearly impatient for an explanation. But he’d rather figure out what exactly he was dealing with before placating them.
‘Could it actually be one? It has to be, right?’ he wondered, scrutinizing the grey ring with cauti...

2025-07-20 06:01:02 +0000 UTC View PostPercy didn’t even get a moment to ponder over the how or why the entity had responded in the way it had, when he spotted something moving beneath their feet.
“It’s trying to escape!” he exclaimed, already running behind it.
The change was barely perceptible – just a slight shift in the flow of soul mana in...

2025-07-19 06:01:01 +0000 UTC View PostWith his boosting art now at Masterful, Percy was confident he could defeat any solitary opponent on the planet. Well, unless they ran into a Blue beast, but he wasn’t sure there were any on Melodia.
That was not to say that they were out of trouble though.
They could still get swarmed by lots of weaker beasts, and his hos...

2025-07-18 06:01:01 +0000 UTC View PostRivers of fiends shot at Percy and Sol from every direction, the swarm flying soundlessly above the still water. The only sounds breaking the eerie silence of the lake were the crisp notes released by the beast’s powerful hops in the distance, as well as the girl’s rhythmic breaths.
‘We’re at a disadvantage!’ she said. 2025-07-18 06:00:04 +0000 UTC View Post

2025-07-17 06:01:01 +0000 UTC View PostHaving been the first to spot the attack, Percy had an easier time dodging. With two swift strides, he sidestepped the torrent of fiends, watching as it soundlessly phased through the smooth surface of the water. Probably even the ground beneath, judging from its momentum.
Doh had a slightly tougher time avoiding it. He rolled out of the w...

2025-07-16 06:01:01 +0000 UTC View PostPercy was more than happy with his new Refined spell. There was still some room for improvement, but he doubted it would register another upgrade during his stay on Melodia. It wouldn’t be until he merged it with his Replicating Soul Harvester back home that he expected it to hit Masterful.
In any case, neither he nor his companions got ...

2025-07-15 06:01:01 +0000 UTC View Post‘Seven Green beasts?! Together?!’ Percy spat, cursing inward at their bad luck.
Back on Remior, one would be hard-pressed to find even two or three Greens of the same species, let alone this many. At least if special locations like the Fungal Spire were excluded. But perhaps, it wasn’t that surprising.
On Melodia, the ...

2025-07-14 06:01:01 +0000 UTC View PostAccording to Doh, the lake stretched for hundreds of miles, making it even larger than the Thirsty Valley.
‘Should be called the Mirror Sea, really…’
It was impossible to see the other end of its tranquil waters even after climbing the colossal trees in its vicinity. Percy would have loved to try anyway, to get a bette...

2025-07-13 06:01:01 +0000 UTC View PostThe hunters had expected some changes in their surroundings as they neared the Mirror Lake. It was the most mana-rich location on the entire planet, and that led to a cascade of additional consequences. The plant life in the surrounding area flourished, growing to downright titanic sizes.

2025-07-12 06:01:14 +0000 UTC View PostObjectively speaking, the fight wasn’t going well.
Percy’s spinning sickles just about managed to keep the bird at bay, preventing it from tearing him to shreds. But he didn’t have an easy time landing a hit either. In fact, he’d come closer to slicing Latt’s soul up by accident a couple times, forcing the man to retreat behind a...

2025-07-11 06:01:00 +0000 UTC View PostThe following days reminded Percy of his time in the Thirsty Valley. Once again, he found himself in a group of three people – or three bodies, at least – surrounded by an endless expanse filled with horrific beasts.
Only, the situation was a little worse – in many ways. Doh, Sol and Latt were arguably weaker than Elaine, Nesha and h...
