Diana Ravenborne had taken her time choosing her pocket realm. It was faint, but each of the shards floating in the celestial fog radiated an aura that allowed one to guess what was lurking inside. Of course, it was still a gamble at the end of the day. But Diana felt like she had won hers.
"Everything in here is just so dele...
2025-01-27 11:46:52 +0000 UTC View PostThe chilling aura of metal Qi gripped Sebastian's soul as he materialized in a pocket realm. His eyes narrowed as he tried to survey the blinding landscape. A seemingly endless silver expanse stretched before him until it met a jagged mountain range of steel-topped bronze that welded into the horizon. A golden hue from the sun that seemed to hav...
2025-01-25 14:04:04 +0000 UTC View PostAshlock had long suspected something was up with the Mudcloaks.
When he had rescued them alongside Douglas from the Dragonite Mines, a mere Soul Fire Realm pocket dimension, he had thought of them as cute little monsters reminiscent of dumb dwarfs. They could hardly speak coherently and had almost been wiped out by a race of primitive mons...
2025-01-23 13:48:29 +0000 UTC View PostStella took the offered seat. Like the rest of this place, it wasn't material. Instead, it was made from a gravity well stuck in a fractured vector of space.
"I'm curious," Stella said as she began to munch on the Mystic Realmwarp fruit. She could feel its mystical energies reaching through her body and gently caressing her soul. "How did ...
2025-01-21 15:47:50 +0000 UTC View PostStella awoke the following day to a voice as her body was being shaken from side to side by two tiny hands.
"Master!"
"Hmm?" Stella groaned as she was pulled out of dreamland. It had been an unpleasant experience sleeping under the nine moons ever since Ashlock took on desolation Qi, but that had changed with the recent addition of h...
2025-01-19 12:40:45 +0000 UTC View PostStella saw a great opportunity to boost the Ashfallen Sect's finances after Sebastian arrived shortly after his young master and hurriedly explained the situation more thoroughly.
"So you see," the poor man took a moment to catch his breath and survey the room. "That's why, while I would appreciate it if anyone could accompan...
2025-01-17 13:20:12 +0000 UTC View PostSebastian Silverspire absentmindedly rolled a communication jade between his fingers as he stared out his window. He felt weirdly sentimental on this late afternoon as he awaited an urgent message from Ryker's mother. All he knew was that something had happened in the Silverspire family, and he needed to be informed about it.
He let out a ...
2025-01-15 15:21:17 +0000 UTC View PostStella hopped down from the wall onto an exposed tree root that was like a bridge through the swamp that had formed due to the intense rain. Balancing herself by stretching her arms out to either side, she walked past pools of mud from which Ents were emerging. Purple wood twisted up from half-decayed corpses that were face down in the muck, con...
2025-01-13 15:11:25 +0000 UTC View PostHey everyone, a few days ago, Book 5 of Tree was released on Amazon. All previous installments of the series reached rank 300 in the store, held there for a few days, and then fell. This pattern has been pretty consistent with each release.
However, book 5 was different. Something unknown seems to have gone wrong. Whether it was the series...
2025-01-12 03:15:38 +0000 UTC View Post"Douglas, don't just stand there," Ashlock spoke into the man's mind, breaking him from a daze, "You aren't good at fighting. This isn't the place for you."
"I'm sorry, Boss." Douglas's shoulders slumped, and he looked angry with himself. "You invested so many resources into me, but ...
2025-01-11 14:58:05 +0000 UTC View Post"Incoming!" Douglas roared at the top of his lungs as he brandished his sword and horizontally swung at the rapidly descending darkness. Brown flames met the blazing darkness as he hit it with all his empowered might. There was a satisfying crunch of bone as the monster was flung into the side of a runically enhanced battlement following the arc...
2025-01-09 15:17:31 +0000 UTC View PostDouglas stepped out from the Ashfallen Trading Company headquarters into the pouring rain with mixed feelings.
His pride as a man and a seasoned rogue cultivator used to dealing with the darker and more brutal side of humanity was somewhat ashamed to be ordered around by a somewhat bratty teenage girl, especially when her demands were so r...
2025-01-07 15:35:59 +0000 UTC View Post"Please tell me you are joking."
Stella swayed back on her chair as if attempting to escape Douglas's glare from across the table. The broad-shouldered man caused the table to the creak as he leaned on it with the full weight of his arms like tree trunks planted firmly before him. He loomed forward, his forehead a stack of fr...
2025-01-05 14:38:24 +0000 UTC View PostTiberius, who originally hailed from the Celestial Empire, stood before a window overlooking Nightshade City. While the capital city of the Tainted Cloud Sect was nothing compared to the cities back home, a storm like no other thundered over the landscape, sending rain trails running down the window and blanketing the land in a cold fog. Large m...
2025-01-03 15:18:02 +0000 UTC View PostThe Chairman of the Celestial Empire strode through a hallway of twisted golden wood with two attendants in tow. They had followed him for centuries but kept a cautious distance, lest they wanted to be crushed by his Monarch realm soul pressure radiating off him, causing the air around him to shimmer with rage. The trio had just left a meeting w...
2025-01-01 15:20:33 +0000 UTC View PostAshlock felt a foreboding breeze rustle his leaves as Maple was awoken from his slumber and stared down at Vincent.
He hadn't wanted it to come to this, but he'd been left with no choice but to manipulate Maple into helping him. When he had summoned the Worldwalker confined to the body of a mere squirrel many moons ago, his cultivation had...
2024-12-18 14:40:38 +0000 UTC View PostVincent couldn't help but grin despite the pain of being impaled as he looked around. He was encircled by floating islands, all glowing with different types of Qi. They had shields and what appeared to be supercharged flowers pointing his way. There were also more of those monsters created from twisted wood standing on a few of the islands silen...
2024-12-15 13:12:42 +0000 UTC View PostThe reality-shattering explosion pushed every Bastion backward like a tsunami. The shields on every Bastion except Erebus were vaporized in the shockwave, and the leaves on all demonic trees for miles had been stripped in the wake of the assault. It was a miracle that the Bastions hadn't been blown out of the sky and the forest below wasn't on f...
2024-12-13 14:49:10 +0000 UTC View PostDouglas realized he may have gotten in over his head.
Call him stupid, a blockhead, rocks for brains, whatever, he would nod and agree. He was a Grand Elder of the Ashfallen Sect but hadn't yet mentally grown into his role. After all, just half a year ago, he had been a debt-riddled thug scraping by in the shadows of Darklight City. So whe...
2024-12-11 12:47:39 +0000 UTC View PostTo gaze beyond the veil of your own imagination is to risk the shattering of your very power. For in the blinding light of truth, what was once limitless may become finite, and what was once divine may crumble to dust. The strength of the mystic depends not on what is true but on what we dare to imagine as truth. Even in the face of the trut...
2024-12-09 14:35:28 +0000 UTC View PostStella was unsure of what to do as she crouched on a branch of one of Ash's offspring and watched the horde of crazed people rush below. There was a creak as the branch she was perched on bent slightly from the weight of someone landing beside her.
"What do you think, Grand Elder Redclaw?" she asked the man as the temperature in the air no...
2024-12-06 15:11:53 +0000 UTC View PostElysia Mystshroud had a wide grin as she walked the central street of Nightrose City. After the construction of the new castle in Ashfallen's name that occupied the center of the city where the Nightrose family's castle had stood for decades, and the populace accepted the change in their overlords, there had been a flood of new sign-ups to the c...

"Huh—" Ashlock's confusion was shocked out of him by a world of pain.
He had been targeting each of the warehouses Stella had identified with the help of Sullivan with desolation Qi imbued with spatial and blood dao to eliminate Vincent's bloo...
2024-12-02 14:06:18 +0000 UTC View PostVincent clasped his hands behind his back and took in the sights all around him.
Floating islands, big and small, dotted the celestial sky with shimmering gold waterfalls cascading off their sides. He stood upon a bridge of gems. If he glanced off the side, he could see down into the layers of creation below. All were below his feet...
2024-11-30 15:28:15 +0000 UTC View PostStella sat on the couch of her home while Diana let out an exasperated sigh. "You got it so wrong it might as well be backward."
"So you're telling me it's not a type of wrestling?" Stella retorted.
"Yes, that is exactly what I'm telling you. Where did you even get that idea?" Diana pinched t...
2024-11-28 11:59:39 +0000 UTC View Post"What did you do, Morrigan?!" Vincent snarled as he glared at the grinning woman. This was the worst outcome. He ideally needed a person alive so he could drain the required blood from them for the bloodline absorption ritual to work. While this arm did have some of Stella Crestfallen's blood, it was already too stale, and even if he drained eve...
2024-11-26 13:04:26 +0000 UTC View PostTwo pink eyes of blazing bloodlust peered through the darkness and bore down on Vincent Nightrose as the golden threads of fate spiraled upwards into infinity. He tried to grasp at them, but like silk threads, they slid through his fingers. No matter which threads he attempted to follow, they all ended in loose ends.
Vincent cursed ...
2024-11-24 16:07:04 +0000 UTC View PostStella looked at Sullivan's utter look of despair with childlike excitement.
She could crush this man to a pulp with a mere thought, and in the past, she might have done that. Killing gave her a euphoric sense of agency over her life. It was a physical manifestation of all her efforts—the ability to reap the life of ...
2024-11-22 13:52:51 +0000 UTC View PostSullivan's soul-core hummed in his chest as he aggressively pushed Qi toward his muscles. His ragged breaths came out in clouds of mist as he charged through the rain down the muddied back streets of Darklight City.
He could not see or hear it, but the chasing creature's presence was all-encompassing, bearing down on him and making ...
