I'll be posting an amazon announcement post here in a sec.

I watched Fang Xu and Celene as they left, their divine essences fully settled from waking up, and their duties revealed. Now that they had awoken and had a nice little chat with me, they were ready to take over some of the more power-heavy logistics I need...
2025-11-13 08:35:28 +0000 UTC View Post“This is her?” Celene asked, circling Inesa and looking her up and down with a critical eye. Despite her inner strength the light goddess wilted beneath her gaze, fidgeting and placing her hands over her stomach protectively. Celene’s heart warmed a little at her innocent response, Xing Wu practically buzzing with protective intent not too...
2025-11-09 10:03:53 +0000 UTC View PostI remember this chapter being one of my favorites in the old version.

Time passed so quickly for one of my station. One year was less than the blink of an eye; ten was less than heartbeat, it felt. Things happened on a larger timescale the bigger you got, and that was as true of immortals as it was mortals. Even a sim...
Did one round of edits. Will do another in the morning.

Morgan watched the star-god teleport away with a smirk. It was absolutely hilarious to watch the elemental girl and her budding cult crumble beneath the weight of their failure; desperation swirling about those who truly followed her coloring their hearts w...
2025-11-02 09:16:59 +0000 UTC View PostThere was only so much the Rival could do when it came to satisfying Solana’s thirst for revenge. He wasn’t even sure the two were alive, and even if they were, he was convinced they wouldn’t be anything but hollow shells of their former selves after being submitted to the Shadow’s influence. That’s what happened when you made deals wi...
2025-10-30 08:40:01 +0000 UTC View PostThe Rival didn’t want to return to the Celestial Palace, which was required by law by the Celestial Empress upon ascending to immortality. Naturally, they couldn’t force him. He was just too powerful to be forced like that. Especially the way he was feeling after the bridge and meeting Reika – sweet kid. Made a lot of puns, which she had t...
2025-10-27 08:58:05 +0000 UTC View PostI hope this chapter is what I think it is.
Probably expect next chapter to be a little late, too. Sunday, just in case. If I do get it out by Saturday, surprise!!!

The Rival stood at a crossroads, both literally and figuratively. His cultivation pounded within his skull, demanding to be un...
2025-10-24 05:46:07 +0000 UTC View PostI will get it done tomorrow sometime. Sorry for the delay
2025-10-23 06:50:02 +0000 UTC View PostAlexander had wondered what Sehuyun wanted when he had first been extended the invitation to come to her universe. He’d heard she had made an intelligent being to accompany her from Father, something called a Wyvern, a lesser dragon, and had therefore been wondering if she wanted help raising that child. Or needed advice of some sort, and was ...
2025-10-19 09:19:59 +0000 UTC View PostThe assembly of the Big Four plus Gilles and Father was hidden away in a separate space. Alexander specifically had requested for it before he left for Sehuyun’s realm, as he could sense Keilan’s discomfort. Father had, at first, insisted that every come to see him off, but Keilan’s insistence that the information he held couldn’t wait w...
2025-10-16 09:30:14 +0000 UTC View PostThe Rival took a deep breath, and walked into church.
No one paid him any mind, as if they had no idea how monumental a moment this was for him. He hadn’t willingly been to church in years, yet now here he was, standing in the largest temple in the entirety of Manu Ti. His cultivation surged beneath his skin, roaring like the ti...
2025-10-12 08:14:25 +0000 UTC View Post“You should not have let them notice.” Yueya chided, far sterner than Curie had ever heard her speak to herself. Her main body currently discussed things with the foreign gods, showing them some more internals to the One World. Keilan was proving invaluable in his words of support; he had already redesigned the afterlife structure so it woul...
2025-10-09 07:43:00 +0000 UTC View PostThyia had taken a shine to the Karmic Realm, finding her feet carrying her there whenever she deigned to leave her room and grace the Four Realms with her presence. Terrorizing mortals with catastrophes – not unduly, only where necessary – was fun and all, but she did need to start getting out more. And the Karmic Realm felt oddly comforting...
2025-10-05 09:22:46 +0000 UTC View PostI did already announce it on the discord, but for those of you here, I have officially been convinced to publish this story on Amazon. I didn't originally intend to, but I've already commissioned a new cover so now it feels real. It'll probably happen pretty quickly, I want it done by the end of the month at the latest.
Anyways, ...
The Mad Scientist was panicking, and Alanna didn’t know why. She lounged on her favorite sofa, a red-velvet thing imported from the outer rims, made from a plant that grew there and only there, drinking a glass of fine red wine. It was a rare opportunity she got the chance to relax…even if the Mad Scientist was making it difficult to really ...
2025-09-28 06:50:00 +0000 UTC View Post“You have everything you need?” I asked, fussing over Gilles and Keilan, bouncing back and forth between the two. Keilan rolled his eyes as I smoothed out his robes, gently pushing me away. I allowed myself to be pushed back, nervously shifting from foot to foot and wringing my hands. This would be the first time any of my children had been ...
2025-09-25 08:55:02 +0000 UTC View PostKei had found a new toy. His name was something like Rival – and he was just a goofy little guy with a crush on Gramps. Which was really icky to think about. Though she did wonder why he called Gramps Sylvia…she was fairly certain it had something to do with their little connection through karma and Gramps’ past lives, but she wasn’t cer...
2025-09-21 00:03:26 +0000 UTC View PostI will give this another pass through in the morning editing wise, but for now I need to sleep. Enjoy!

The Hidden Realm was dark, and damp, and filled with all kinds of nasty energy that made the Rival’s skin crawl. Spirit stones of all shapes and sizes jutted out from the walls, which were made of a strange, s...
2025-09-18 09:31:00 +0000 UTC View PostMorgan watched the world closely. Most specifically, it was watching the immortal elemental girl and her lover, a karae, both of whom so finely tread the line between becoming devil cultivators and remaining on the side of the “righteous.” It was what made their doctrine so successful; and how they managed to amass enough followers to truly ...
2025-09-14 09:29:14 +0000 UTC View PostOk, we should be done with setup here, and it should be time to start seeing some payoff.

It had been a while since I spent some quality time with my children. Even as I had incarnations running about, doing their tinkering with the Four Realms – one even watching Xing Wu as he struggled to maneuver the Dao Sta...
2025-09-10 22:42:33 +0000 UTC View PostThere. After three rewrites, I finally found the issue. Enjoy!

I threw a little party for Gilles. It was a small thing, with a few of the gods he considered friends, and a few angels. His ascension was worthy of celebration, even if he, himself, did not want much of a party.
Very much like Randus had been, ...
2025-09-07 23:07:32 +0000 UTC View PostThe chapter will be out tomorrow. I apologize for the inconvenience, I'm just not happy with where the chapter is at, and would rather take a bit more time to fix it. It being a little late, but better for it, is more ideal than not.
2025-09-07 07:53:14 +0000 UTC View PostThis is an edit of the first chapter. Been experimenting on some things, and discord said they wanted to see it. LMK what you think, the changes are...well, you tell me how deep the changes are. I think it adds more emotion, but it could also use more.

In the beginning there was nothing.
Until, suddenly, th...
2025-09-06 03:47:43 +0000 UTC View PostKei was on a mission. And no, it wasn’t avoiding work like her mother accused her of, though she wouldn’t lie to herself and claim that wasn’t part of it, it was to figure out what and why Grandpa was so giddy now. He was always a bit of a goober, but this was unnatural - though it was nice to see Him feeling better, with all the stress He...
2025-09-04 09:10:58 +0000 UTC View PostThe Rival and I sat across from each other, he assessing me, and me vibrating with unspoken questions. But I let him speak first, seeing the gears turning in his mind and soul as he looked me up and down. Smoke was practically pouring out of his ears as he rifled memories from his soul in the sky, sorting through them as recognition increasingly...
2025-08-31 06:29:33 +0000 UTC View PostIf I was being honest, I wasn’t quite sure what to make of The Rival. But if I was similarly being honest, for the first eight years I didn’t pay too much mind to him. There was a small part of my being that was wholly focused on the one the Mad Scientist had warned me about, but it was only dedicated to keeping an eye on him, and ensu...

I haven't had a chapter fight me this hard in a long time. Enjoy!
Also, bit of a retcon last chapter. I didn't like how big I made the soul, so I shrunk it a bit. Minor...
Alexander was amused. The great dragon lay curled up in his cave, many of his incarnations swimming through the Spirit Realm directing various spirits and aiding the construction of the formation pathways that were nearly completed. But that was all he needed to do at the moment; his main body lay curled up in his favorite cave, smiling a...
2025-08-21 06:54:25 +0000 UTC View PostKeilan watched his sister practice with the Sword That Does Not Cut, the blade practically screaming as it cleaved through the air. Great rifts of nothingness were left in the wake of its tip, Aeriel darting about above as she struggled to mend the damage the unsheathed blade caused. Sweat poured down Elvira’s face, limbs trembling as she foug...
