3. The Valasela Estate

Christie was still shaken by the recent events. The examination had been way more than she expected. Her hands still trembled just thinking about it, even though the carriage ride was as smooth as ever. The written exam had gone well – or so she would like to think – as she had always been immersed in her books, but everything started to go ...

2. Village of Malachite

Agatha was still shaken by the recent events. She felt like she had performed adequately on the physical and Agatecraft test, but… the fear of the written one still lingered. Her mother had taught her the letters and how to write, but it was only recently that she actually learned how to write for the very examination. Considering her level wa...

New Story Out!

Hello there,

I have posted the first chapter of the new story, Agatha & Christie. I thought about publishing the three first chapters today, but considering it took me a whole hour to proofread this one as it was long... I will leave it for tomorrow. I will be publishing chapters daily until the story starts being published in other si...

1. Statal Examination

Agatha's agate trembled in a mixture of excitement and dread. No matter how much she tried to calm her stone, her solidified essence shook violently. Her breath was erratic, her heartbeat out of this world, and the queue was becoming shorter by the minute.

"Next!" One of the examiners announced.

She knew that the anxiety was in her m...

New Story Soon

Hello there,

Sorry for the silence here, I'm finishing up with college, and once I'm done I'll start publishing the new story, Agatha & Christie, here in earnest. Right now I have around 200 pages of content, though I'll take my time publishing them as I have some beta readers that are still going over them.

Cultivating Plants End

Hello there,

As you might have seen already, Cultivating Plants has finally ended in its totality after publishing the addendums of the sixth book, Cultivating Life. It has been quite the journey and the longest series I have written so far. It has taken me exactly two years to write it!

Whilst writing six books in two years (and th...

Addendums

Cultivation

So yes, that was the story of Life's ascension. There is not much else to be said about Aloe Ayad and what she did in Khaffat. Sure, her influence was far-reaching with the concept of Mother Nature alone without even taking into account her 'seeds', but there is not much else to be said about her that you already don't know. ...

Epilogue

Long gone were the days when the thick clouds of darkness and death covered the skies. The heavens were now clear and showered the untamed undergrowth with the unrelenting light of the sun, not different at all from what they used to be.

The same couldn't be said for the earth.

If one looked upward, they wouldn't notice that Khaffat ...

51. Life

The night threatened to end. All of this had started the movement the veil of the stars had fallen upon the heavens, yet threatened to rise again this soon. How frightening that everything could just end in a single night.

For a moment, Mother Nature remained rooted next to the corpse of that woman. The old Ydaz and the past were finally d...

Last Batch of Plants

Hi there,

Here's the last batch of plants from Cultivating Plants by Waë!

Yeah, they are arrive a bit late, they got lose across worlds. But they are really cute!

-Epsilon Twilight

50. Right

It had taken but a blink. Mother Nature blamed it on her low vitality as her senses had been greatly diminished by the deflagration but also her rock bottom reserves. She still had more Haya than most beings in Ydaz even in that sorry state – which was why she was even capable of restoring her vitality in just a handful of seconds – but in t...

49. Forces

Naila didn't give Mother Nature a moment of respite as she charged at her with the violence and speed of a lightning strike. The Sultanzade's body became a blur and at the same time the druid noticed she had moved, she felt the pain in her right leg as it was hacked completely clean. The speed stance transformed the cultivator with comparatively...

Cultivating Life Art

Hello there,

Here you have the complete art of Cultivating Life:

-Mother Nature donning recovery by Biircine

-Young and Adult Xochipilli by ondi_puri

-Naila-Al-Ydaz, ruler of the Caliphate of Ydaz wearing her war attire by Ceemolchi

I thought about posting the Naila one at the beginning of the book, but I decided to...

48. Goddess

The vegetable woman's ears rang in the absolute nothingness of space as she found herself drifting away from her home world. This is quite the predicament, Mother Nature calmly thought to herself.

The sun threatened to burn her away like it had done many centuries ago when she had first started with the vital arts, but unlike then...

47. Game

Many things could be said about the new combatant. How lustrous her hair was as it rocked on the ablaze night air of the burning city. How beautiful she was even though – or maybe exactly because – she was wearing armor and ready for combat. But one thing that stood out above the rest to Mother Nature was how straight Naila's back was. How r...

46. Weight

An impossible weight assaulted Mother Nature. Her body was the pinnacle of vegetable strength and toughness, one that surpassed that of the World Tree that fought the power of a whole world to grow at impossible heights, and yet… a massive pressure was weighing her now.

Her thoughts became slaggy, her movements ragged, and her senses dis...

45. Rebirthed

Things happened too fast for the eyes. But Mother Nature still managed to barely react as the man's body was no longer stiffer than a steel beam and it lunged towards her. Subconsciously, Mother Nature changed her internal infusion to toughness as her body acknowledged the menace.

He-It prowled on all fours after having been dodged. His po...

44. Listen

Overarching, expansive senses. On a self-imposed prison of chaotic branches, Mother Nature found herself resting in a state of trance. Her body had long adapted to the acuity internal infusion; her mission only to overwatch this frenetic world.

A quest.

It was the presence of quest, as irrelevant as it was, that kept her going; kept ...

43. Ready

"I am tired of waiting." Those were the first words Zayn Gerges said as he materialized himself in the imperial gardens of the palace of Asina.

"No one is commanding you to wait," the Calipha off-handedly commented, her mind elsewhere.

"I suspect you aren't taking this issue with its due importance. It has been two years and what hav...

Agate Magic System

Hello there,

Here's an infograph about the magic system in the story of Agatha & Christie (I kinda forgot to post it for two days in a row) as it's the story that got most votes in the poll. As you will see, it is a very colorful magic system, or as a certain character would call it, power system.

Enjoy the speculation until I st...

42. Arm

It didn't take long for Xochipilli to figure out how the Heartgrowths worked. The answer was practically given to him from everything he knew of the dryads and Aloe once he grew some specimens.

He was worried that they might not be getting enough nutrients, so he planted a Radiating Undergrowth himself – one of the worst decisions of his...

41. Evolution

Evolution, by definition, was chaos. But people failed to understand chaos. There was predictability in probability, order in mayhem, logic in nonsense. One just had to know how to process it.

Aloe had filled him in most of the aspects of Evolution, but Xochipilli had discovered many laws in his lonesome. If one ignored the monsters that w...

40. Trust

"Your preparations are insufficient," the old man stomped on the grass with his cane.

"Considering my actives are in the hundreds of thousands whilst yours are in the thousands, I do not think you are qualified to speak those words," the mature and gorgeous woman spoke from the gazebo, her back facing the man.

"You should be aware of...

39. Cultivation

With a sigh, Josephine opened the door. Even though they were underground, the place was well-illuminated thanks to the many Myriad lights. Having light during the day in enclosed spaces would have been unthinkable as the light stations only worked during the night, but now with the Radiating Undergrowth, darkness had been erased even in the bow...

38. Danger

The catacombs of Sadina remained a cold and soggy place even after the canals of the city had long disappeared, yet a prime location for the assassin community to gather. Though on this occasion only two of them gathered in the cylindrical chamber.

"Did you know that this is the resting place of Grandmaster Umar?" It was the old and coarse...

37. Hybridization

"My liege, I have brought what you have asked," Shinobiyorutsurai appeared before him in his laboratory. Xochipilli couldn't help but think that the actual assassin was her as she was seemingly able to appear out of nowhere as her body was more of a colony of vines than a single organism, therefore allowing the dryad to practically liquify herse...

Future Story

Hello there,

As I'm rather burned out from writing the hexalogy that is Cultivating Plants (and the next story I have planned is a ennealogy), I thought about giving you all the chance to select the future story from a selection of ones that are way shorter (though still long).

All choices are still rough ideas (both the synopsis and...

36. Gathering

The key to secrecy wasn't subterfuge, but trust. Xochipilli was well aware of that fact, and whilst she might now have the support of the assassins, he still wanted to get even more support. To execute his plan, there were many steps to be taken and met, and for that, he needed the help of a certain group.

"So, what do you say?" Xochipilli...

35. Shape

There were times when a person needed to fight their very core tenets, as much as it hurt. And this was one of those times.

Sadina had become a lovely city – or rather, lovelier – with time. As the closest settlement to the Heart of the Evergreen, it was a city of unprecedented riches and certainly the closest to nature. The Ydazi peop...

34. Different

The Tecolatan stood from the bench. At first, he only seemed like a shell of his former self, a brittle film that the wind could carry away or outright destroy, but a second later he regained his composure. He stood tall and strong like an oak, of skin and build that fell not short.

"Let us get going then," his tone was distant. "There's s...
