Chapter 170: The Archive of Eternity
Added 2022-05-04 21:00:58 +0000 UTCTing! Humanity has discovered Mana! The Age of Mana has begun!
What's this? I can't help but wonder how and why I got this message.
Nothing answers my question, so I keep watching. The realms change rapidly, and soon a new chime rings in my mind quickly, followed by several more.
Ting! Behemoth, The King Kaiju has been spawned!
Ting! Leviathan, the Water Kaiju, has been spawned!
Ting! Gryphon, The Wind Kaiju, has been spawned!
Ting! Phoenix, The Fire Kaiju, has been spawned!
Ting! Treant, The Earth Kaiju, has been spawned!
Ting! Titania, The Beauty Fairy, has been spawned!
Ting! Una, The Charm Fairy, has been spawned!
Ting! Gloriana, The Grace Fairy, has been spawned!
Ting! Mab, The Elegant Fairy, has been spawned!
Ting! Tanaquill, The Allure Fairy, has been spawned!
Ting! Odin, The Asgard Titan, has been spawned!
Ting! Zeus, The Olympic Titan, has been spawned!
Ting! Rama, The Ayodhyan Titan, has been spawned!
Ting! Yahweh, The Heavenly Titan, has been spawned
Ting! Amaterasu, The Takamagaharan Titan, has been spawned
Ting! Fafnir, The Cosmic Dragon, has been spawned!
Ting! Bahamut, The Celestial Dragon, has been spawned!
Ting! Kuzuyru, The Nine-Headed Dragon, has been spawned!
Ting! Tiamat, The Chaos Dragon, has been spawned!
Ting! Nidhogg, The Ruin Dragon, has been spawned!
Ting! Mark, the Human, has become the first mage!
Ting! You have become an Archive of Eternity!
An Archive of Eternity? There is a lot to unpack here. So a bunch of monsters or whatever has spawned, and now I am an archive of some sort?
Nothing answers my questions, but more and more notifications flood into my mind. Notifications of great deeds and terrible destruction. This continues for what seems like ages, with a few notable messages standing out to me.
Ting! Nidhogg, the Ruin Dragon, has destroyed a world!
…
Ting! Destroyer of Worlds, Nidhogg, the Ruin Dragon, has destroyed a world!
Ting! The First Mage, Mark, has reached the rank of World Mage!
Ting! Destroyer of Worlds, Nidhogg, the Ruin Dragon, has slain The First Monster, Behemoth, the King Kaiju!
Ting! Dragon Slayer, Odin, The Asgard Titan has slain the Destroyer of Worlds, Nidhogg, the Ruin Dragon!
Each message has its own story to tell, each representing decades of time. More and more messages flood my mind, each being burned into my soul.
It seems I have my answer of what Archives of Eternity are, a record of these messages. However, that begs the question: Am I doomed to be adrift here forever? There's no point in worrying about it; I can't change anything.
The messages keep chiming in my mind for what seems like forever.
Ting! Fafnir, The Cosmic Dragon, has mastered inter-realm travel!
Ting! Sona, the Human, has slain a Dragon!
Ting! Sona, the Human, has reached the rank of World Mage!
Ting! Leviathan, The Water Kaiju, has slain Rama, The Ayodhyan Titan!
Ting! Ca'thal, the L'mnun, has reached the rank of World Mage!
Realms fade into nothingness as more appear; I continue to drift further and further away, looking at the multiverse from afar, yet now I don't seem to be going any further. Just what is this place, anyway?
It's almost as if the multiverse is infinite in size, yet somehow I managed to cross the entire thing and pass into an infinite edge of nothingness.
Ting! Charlie, the Human, has become the First Cultivator!
Ting! The First Cultivator, Charlie, the Human, has Reached the 7th stage of Cultivation!
Ting! The First Cultivator, Charlie, the Human, has slain a Kaiju!
Ting! The First Cultivator, Charlie, the Human, has saved a city from a Kaiju!
Ting! Lilly, the Elf, has Reached the 7th stage of Cultivation!
Ting! The First Cultivator, Charlie, the Human, has Reached the 8th stage of Cultivation!
Ting! The First Cultivator, Charlie, the Human, has saved a world from Tiamat!
Ting! Champion of Magic, Tiamat, the Chaos Dragon, has slain The First Cultivator, Charlie, the Human!
Time is weird here; it's as if all time is passing in an instant, yet no time is passing at all. I can't tell how long it has been, but it's been around six hundred thousand generations of realms since I died and around four hundred thousand generations since the messages started.
Ting! Iris, the Elf, has reached the 7th stage of cultivation!
Ting! Forest Queen, Lilly, the Elf, has slain a Titan!
Ting! Forest Queen, Lilly, the Elf, has Reached the 8th stage of Cultivation!
Ting! Tyrant, Kuzuyru, The Nine-Headed Dragon, has slain Forest Queen, Lilly, the Elf!
As time goes on, the number of notifications of world mages dwindles, and the notifications of cultivators raise until finally, a series of announcements put the Age of Mana to an end.
Ting! Forest keeper, Iris, the Elf, has reached the 8th stage of Cultivation!
Ting! Forest keeper, Iris, the Elf, has defended a world from Tyrant, Kuzuyru, The Nine-Headed Dragon.
Ting! Forest keeper, Iris, the Elf, has reached the 9th stage of Cultivation!
Ting! Forest keeper, Iris, the Elf, has slain Tyrant, Kuzuyru, the Nine-Headed Dragon.
Ting! The Age of Mana has come to an end, and the Age of Cultivation has begun!
The message of an elf slaying a monster so great is creation justified a message must have come as a shock to the rest. A feat only achieved by other great monsters now held by another race stirs p a torrent of activity from the great monsters.
Ting! The World Traveler, Fenrir, the Cosmic Dragon, has torn a hole in reality!
Ting! Yggdrasil, Treant, the Earth Kaiju has created Migard!
Ting! The Fairies of have created Faewild!
Ting! The Titans have created Pantheon!
Ting! Champion of Magic, Tiamat, the Chaos Dragon has slain Forest keeper, Iris, the Elf!
It seems that most have decided to leave, sensing that they are no longer the kings of the realms. Where they went, I don't know; no star was born along with those messages. However, not all of the great monsters left peacefully. A torrent of messages of worlds being destroyed and champions that resisted them being slain flood my mind until they realized that it was futile to simply rampage.
Enough time must have passed that they probably thought Iris was just a fluke and no others will challenge their place as the strongest in all the realms. They were right; no one else was able to reach the same power as Iris and the great monsters until the end of the age, many hundreds of thousands of generations of realms later.
Ting! The Enlightened One, Runor, the Dwarf, has Reached the 9th Stage of Cultivation!
Ting! The Enlightened One, Runor, the Dwarf, has formed a mana core!
With Runor's deed of forming a mana core, a wave of change ripples outward from one of the stars, a slow change that envelops all of reality before sweeping past me far in the outer reaches of the void.
Ting! The Age of Cultivation has come to an end, and the Second Age of Mana has begun!
The Second Age of Mana is by far the longest one, lasting well past a million generations of realms; it is also by far the most peaceful one. The great monsters either hid away in sub realities of their own or probably fell asleep, endless destruction no longer able to motivate or entertain them. However, this age ended with the herald of new great monsters to challenge the old.
Ting! Terra, the Earth Elemental, has been Spawned!
Ting! Aqua, the Water Elemental, has been Spawned!
Ting! Pyro, the Fire Elemental, has been Spawned!
Ting! Zephyr, the Wind Elemental, has been Spawned!
Ting! Glacier, the Ice Elemental, has been Spawned!
Ting! Electra, the Lightning Elemental, has been Spawned!
Ting! Lux, the Light Elemental, has been Spawned!
Ting! Umbra, the Dark Elemental, has been Spawned!
Ting! The Second Age of Mana has come to an end, and the Age of the Elements has begun!
Almost like wandering natural disasters, messages of endless destruction followed the spawning of the elementals. Words froze solid, civilizations buried under mountains, shredded by wind, and the old great ones finally awoke to battle against the new threat.
Ting! Champion of Magic, Tiamat, the Chaos Dragon, has slain Glacier, the Ice Elemental!
Ting! Champion of Magic, Tiamat, the Chaos Dragon, has slain Aqua, the Water Elemental!
Ting! Pyro, the Fire Elemental, has slain Champion of Magic, Tiamat, the Chaos Dragon!
Ting! The Eternal Serpent, Leviathan, the Water Kaiju, has slain Terra, the Earth Elemental.
Ting! Lux, the Light Elemental, has slain Lifeflame, Phoenix, the Fire Kaiju!
Ting! Zeus, the Olympic Titan, has slain Electra, the Lightning Elemental!
No further great monsters died after that, and their activity died down a lot, but I still get messages of the destruction or other actions they do. Time passes on, and even the Elementals settle down, slumbering until the ends of their realms before moving to a new and younger realm.
It seems as if this age lasts forever. The stars change color each generation, changing from blue to a rainbow of colors that I can only guess are influenced by the different elemental mana in them. No new magic like cultivation or a change like the mana has been achieved or discovered, and it seems like it never will again until a foreboding message appears.
Ting! The Orcs have discovered Misama and Aether!
Just like with the discovery of mana and mana cores, this brings a wave of change to the void that announces the end of the age.
Ting! The Age of Elements has come to an end, and the Age of Magic has begun!
Ting! Fate has formed!
Ting! Destiny has formed!
Ting! Luck has formed!
Ting! Prophecy has formed!
Ting! Life has formed!
Ting! Death has formed!
Ting! Creation has formed!
Ting! Destruction has formed!
Something is odd about these messages; unlike the great monsters, these aren't spawned? Are they even monsters, or are they concepts?
It doesn't take long for the answer to become clear with messages of powerful monsters and people being slain by them; even two of the great monsters died at the hands of these new... things.
Ting! Death has slain Lux, the Light Elemental!
Ting! Destruction has slain Stormwing, Gryphon, the Wind Kaiju!
Now that I think about it, all messages had acknowledged the race or species of monsters and people, but not for these new things, as if they aren't actually alive, just what are they?
I got no answers to my question, but new things appear; mentions of cursed beings and the destruction they wrought. Vampires, mummies, lycanthropes, wraiths, and many more.
I suspect these new 'things' are somehow related to magic, but I don't know how or why; all I can do is wait for the next message, the next piece of the puzzle. However, one thing I did not expect is the next stream of messages that sent a shiver down my soul.
Ting! The cursed being, Reality Eater, has devoured a realm!
In an instant, a star vanishes before a second is swallowed.
Ting! The cursed being, Reality Eater, has devoured a realm!
One by one, the stars disappear. Whatever those 'things' are, they are unbelievably powerful, even going so far as to destroy entire realms, and I can do nothing but watch.
Ting! The cursed being, Reality Eater, has devoured a realm!
…
Ting! The cursed being, Reality Eater, has devoured a realm!
Where once there was a thick cloud of stars, millions or even billions in number, now stands an ever-thinning cluster of realms, each chime of the messages signaling the doom of an entire universe.
Ting! The cursed being, Reality Eater, has slain Avatar of the Sun, Bahamut, the Celestial Dragon!
Ting! The cursed being, Reality Eater, has slain The Endless Serpent, Leviathan, The Water Kaiju!
Ting! The cursed being, Reality Eater, has slain Pyro, the Fire Elemental!
Ting! The cursed being, Reality Eater, has slain Zephyr, the Wind Elemental
Ting! The cursed being, Reality Eater, has slain Life!
Ting! The cursed being, Reality Eater, has slain Creation!
Ting! The cursed being, Reality Eater, has slain Destruction!
Ting! The cursed being, Reality Eater, has slain Seraphim, Yahweh, the Heavenly Titan!
Soon the number of stars in the void numbers less than a hundred, then less than ten, then finally, the last realm stands out like a tiny grain of sand in the sea of darkness, for it too vanishes with the last two chimes.
Ting! The cursed being, Reality Eater, has devoured a realm!
Ting! The Age of Magic has come to an end!
I wait for the Reality Eater to come for me; perhaps this was how it all had to end, with everything winking out quietly in the eternal night of the void. I wait and wait, forever. An eternity passes, then another, and another...
Without the generation of realms fading away and new ones appearing, it is impossible to tell the passage of time; I just wait for my turn to finally vanish. Yet that never came; I just stay here, floating in the void until I see a single bright light!
It shines like a tiny candle illuminating the void, and with its appearance, a welcome chime rings in my mind.
Ting! The Age of Rebirth has begun!
One by one, stars appear until shining jewels fill the void once again! Messages begin to flow in as new and old races accomplish great acts, Goblins, Orcs, Elves, Dwarves, Humans, and more. No great monsters spawn, no more of those weird 'things', nothing so powerful, so unreachable, that only one person in all the ages can match. Perhaps the Reality Eater was necessary to cleanse the realms.
Time marches on. Ages pass. The Third age of Mana, the Age of Souls, the Age of Vitality, each age lasting well into the millions of generations of realms. However, one thing that always worries me is the mentions of cursed beings that started during the Age of Magic, but the Second Age of Magic never came; instead, a dreaded message reappears.
Ting! The cursed being, Reality Eater, has devoured a realm!
One by one, like a countdown, the stars once again begin to vanish until the silence and darkness fill the void once again, leaving me with two questions: Is it the same Reality Eater or a new one? And, will this happen again?
There's nothing I can do but wait for either the Reality Eater to come for me or for realms to reappear. However, when a new star emerges, I can't feel any joy this time, for I know that the Reality Eater will end everything again, and I am helpless to do anything about it.
Time and time again, the cycle continues, an endless cycle of destruction and rebirth after many ages. Eventually, I stopped dreading the times when the Reality Eater reawakens. Just like the cycle of realms dying and forming, this too is just another cycle, and in a way, it became another way to measure the vastness of time here, in the void. I start calling them End of Ages since no ages begin for a long time after them. Still, it might be more appropriate to call them Great Calamities since it doesn't seem to be a natural process like the creation and death of the realms.
I learn that changes such as the ones before the first End of Ages are actually really rare, only done by extraordinary individuals such as the dwarf that made the mana core. It was just a fluke that so many happened before the first End of Ages. However, they include changes such as Essences, Anima, Arcana Core, Skills, Classes, and finally, Bond, which had brought the Age of Gods.
No great monsters have spawned since the First Age of Magic, and they are all gone; perhaps that's a good thing, but it makes me think: What would have happened if the Age of Magic never happened? There's something about Miasma and Aether that must prevent such powerful monsters from forming, but that is a question I'll probably never get an answer to.
It has been fifty-two million Ends of Ages, each an eternity long in darkness, forever drifting on the edge of the void, looking upon the shining jewels of the realms from afar. There's a type of beauty in all of this, in the cycle of destruction and creation, in the lives that chimes with ambition and vibrant life. Even at the end of everything, their legacy is sealed within me, their memory cataloged in my soul, an Archive of Eternity.
Other Legacies are out there, it took me a long time to figure out, but I guess sometimes souls are knocked out of the realms only to eventually drift into another realm and be reincarnated. When my soul was knocked out from my realm, there were relatively few realms, so it was easy for my soul to become lost, and it's possible my soul is, or was, not the only one. Did that change? And am I the only Archive of Eternity left, or are there others, kindred souls stuck on the edge of the void, spending the passing eternities in solitude?
I notice a large woman far off in the distance; she is dressed in a beautiful dress sitting on the edge of the void, admiring the shining gems far off in the distance. This is the first this has happened. Is she a kindred soul? Her long hair flutter in a non-existent wind, and as my soul slowly drifts closer. I can't help but silently wish she'll notice me, but I drift ever closer until I'm just an arm's length away from her!
“So... Beautiful!”
She finally notices me and wraps her hands around me to inspect me closer.
Ting! The Goddess of Beauty and Creativity, Myrou, the Spirit, has discovered a Primordial Legacy soul.

2023-08-25 15:17:12 +0000 UTCWas the beginning rewritten? Cause, MC being unaware of Myrou and a significant period before at the beginning was kind of a thing.
Venalitor
2022-06-03 00:36:32 +0000 UTCPuting yaweh and rama as titans among mythology. It serves no story purpose at all having those 2. Even just the fact that it was those 2 and not including Mohamad, Alah, Buddha, etc will cause its own strife. Unless it was planned to have a discussion about religion in-story (never goes well), it's generally best to just not reference it at all.

2022-05-21 15:09:16 +0000 UTCBlasphemy ? I read the chapter cuz I wanted to see what you meant, but I don't
Shaoraka
2022-05-21 12:21:01 +0000 UTCI wonder whether being the archive of eternity will grant a legendary or better point
ben thomas
2022-05-21 07:41:28 +0000 UTCThe look in her eyes. Aha ha ha.
Kagami Shiro
2022-05-21 07:22:36 +0000 UTCI think they were "magic beings" when alysara saw her first cursed being she got a breakthrough for observing a magic being so i think they are uncursed magic beings as they spawned at the age of magic
Kagami Shiro
2022-05-21 07:17:34 +0000 UTCWhat is the intent with the blasphemy here? It doesn't seem like it really adds anything narrative-wise so feels like it's just there to be offensive or cause drama
PatronTurtle
2022-05-09 10:26:11 +0000 UTCDon't mind me. Totally not hitting refresh every few minutes or anything waiting for a new fix, uh, I mean chapter.
Collateral_ink
2022-05-06 21:30:51 +0000 UTCProbably worth a achievement just staying sane witnessing all that time pass by. Unfortunately its best used upgrading the book.
Norbert Fuksz
2022-05-06 08:27:26 +0000 UTCHer book magic artifact that tracks all of her knowledge of magic probably just became the most valuable item in existence.
TaylorTot
2022-05-06 05:23:21 +0000 UTCMy understanding is that she's primordial because she's from before the "1st Age" and her soul also survived long enough to get the age marker as for the other great beings she implies that they were all offed by the eater saying that all of the earlier great monsters were eaten
Felipe monell
2022-05-05 23:34:49 +0000 UTCIt didn't directly say they were but it implied it when she said that all of the earlier great beings were consumed although I am curious about fafnir because he fucked off to an entirely different reality did he also get eaten I'm assuming yes but if not maybe they can survive by doing the same?
Felipe monell
2022-05-05 23:14:55 +0000 UTCIn one of the sidestory the emperor explains that the system comes from oneself or at least the messages which is why the message is always in context they understand the example they give is essentially if you meet a fylox (another subspecies of the runalymo) and alysarra gets a world message the world message would describe her as a fylox because you've never met a runalymo and that is the closest thing you understand
Felipe monell
2022-05-05 23:09:52 +0000 UTCWhen the Reality Eaters were eating the universe all I could think of is the "Space was so Cool" song at the end of In Space with Markiplier pt 2
BradlySteak
2022-05-05 21:53:25 +0000 UTCWe could get a little cliche and say that Alysara herself is the source of the messages. There's that whole Quantum Uncertainty principle and the Law of Observation. The simple act of observing a thing alters it. She was witness to all of Eternity from the time of her original death; that simple fact could have given rise to the messages. But I think the Messages and the system aren't necessarily the same thing.
Collateral_ink
2022-05-05 18:40:38 +0000 UTCI’m curious where the System came from? Also has the System been around since the first message? If not then what controls the Messages?
SpaceGoddess76
2022-05-05 18:19:08 +0000 UTCThat's a good point. She survived "The Great Calamity" millions of times, but she only got one Mythic point so far as we know, meanwhile legendary beings like Safyr get a Legendary Point every time they defeat another Legendary being. Not cool.
Collateral_ink
2022-05-05 18:19:00 +0000 UTCThey are in the "Age of Gods", so it would make sense they have gods/goddesses now with the system
Squirtle
2022-05-05 17:09:47 +0000 UTCI kinda wanna know what life and death and fate and such looked like. They weren't considered gods, not great monsters like earth gods. It's a curious thing that gods only became a thing thing recently
Gwendolyn Simmons-LaRose
2022-05-05 16:52:43 +0000 UTCI love this chapter. When you said Fenrir did you mean Fafnir? Since their were no World Messages about the deaths of the Fairies, Odin, Zeus, Amaterasu, Fate, Destiny, Luck, Prophecy, Death, Treant, Umbra, & Fafnir does that mean they're alive in subrealities hidden from the Reality Eater. P.S. I am really glad you are back, I missed this series and only two chapters after coming back from your break and I am already as hooked as I was before you left. P.P.S. you spelt Miasma as Misama when the Orcs discovered it
Colm Ryan
2022-05-05 16:31:19 +0000 UTCReminds me of Mass Effect. I wonder if that's where the author got inspiration from. Also, simply hide the planet in a parallel dimension?
crue
2022-05-05 09:18:58 +0000 UTCOk, so. Theorycraft time. Maybe the reason that existence keeps regenerating is because ally's soul keeps being overlookedon each of the reality enders rampages. If everything is ever actually destroyed then the reality ender wins. Now that mouryou has put the only soul that keeps surviving directly in the ender's path by reincarnating it this has become the final round. Win or lose it ends here!
Kapelteta
2022-05-05 08:10:56 +0000 UTCI wonder what changed with her though... she must have gotten a bunch of skills and achievements at least relating to time, sight and witnessing eternity not to mention maybe realm travel?
Norbert Fuksz
2022-05-05 06:45:36 +0000 UTCWell this is bad news for everyone but at least now they know to prepare for what is slumbering out there. This should make for a interesting iteration of worlds at least... I hope she gets OP enough to fight that thing although it's probably far in the future if at all.
Norbert Fuksz
2022-05-05 06:41:57 +0000 UTCHoly shit. I’m speechless.
Aegis OT Void
2022-05-05 05:57:19 +0000 UTCBruh... I'm so hyped up I might have a stroke. Reading this before sleep is always a bad idea, but today specially... shoooo.
epoeck
2022-05-05 05:17:20 +0000 UTCThank you for the chapter. Hope the god of wisdom and knowledge doesn't throw a fit and try to disect aly. Hope you have a wonderful day!
Olivier Pascal
2022-05-05 03:52:31 +0000 UTCHonestly loved this chapter. It gave me Overlord (Maruyama) vibes in a good way!
DisasterPrism
2022-05-05 03:21:28 +0000 UTCPerhaps the title has been suppressed because she couldn’t remember. However now that she does it might start showing up.
SpaceGoddess76
2022-05-05 01:11:01 +0000 UTCMyrou does get points for arranging a pretty good spot for reincarnation. A few things went haywire after that, but I don't think Myrou is to blame.
David Brims
2022-05-05 01:07:55 +0000 UTCHonestly, I get slight bad vibes from Myrou. I mean, yes she reincarnated her and whatnot, but she's a god. I can easily imagine her being patient and playing nice to get whatever it is she might want. She wanted to examine her memories, well that was much less of a big deal before we learned of Alysara's past/title. I could be way off base here but either way, thanks for the chapter!
Tetrisman87
2022-05-05 00:54:35 +0000 UTCI can only guess she will now be concerned about the realm eater and how to confront/escape/hide her realm from it
Kenneth Baxter
2022-05-05 00:16:34 +0000 UTCHere are a few questions: What Alysara’s family will think of her after having awoken her memories? Will her aura change? Will the look in her eyes seem fathomless? Will she discover a way to access her archive and use it to grow (so many paths to reawaken and explore)? Will she be able to discover a way to finally cure her cursed skills?
Kenneth Baxter
2022-05-05 00:07:38 +0000 UTCYes
Comiak
2022-05-04 23:45:09 +0000 UTCSo are they in the Age of Gods now? It was said the Bond brought that Age on but that was likely the first time. Could have been another one this cycle.
Tjark
2022-05-04 23:41:06 +0000 UTCShe's wondering if there are other lost souls out as old as her, but wouldn't she be the only one? She's THE Archive of Eternity, meaning the main or only one. Dang though, I wonder if that means she has a title she hasn't equipped yet or something? I wonder why her title "The Archive of Eternity" hasn't shown up in the world messages.
Eternal Dreamer
2022-05-04 23:37:23 +0000 UTCVery interesting! I can't wait to see how she reacts when she wakes up. Or her dragon tutor, or the world if it reacts, or Myrou for that matter.

Rainer
2022-05-04 23:21:58 +0000 UTCGreat Chapter! I’m looking forward to more!!! I’m hoping she can now work to combine some of the things discovered in those past ages to further power herself and understand more. Like the Mana Core, Arcana Core, Cultivation, World Magic, Etc. There is so much potential there to further herself and her understanding. Plus she could share some of the knowledge with her people and help them increase there power.
SpaceGoddess76
2022-05-04 23:08:31 +0000 UTCI would say she is the oldest being 'in existence', since she wasn't really alive for the most part of it
rvs
2022-05-04 22:57:08 +0000 UTCIt was some millions of Calamities ago, who cares at this point. Also just blame the humans for discovering mana to begin with heh.
Squirtle
2022-05-04 22:52:34 +0000 UTCI really don't see it that way. We are seeing the story of the one person who happened to end up in just the right spot on the edge of the multiverse to see some shit. There's nothing else particularly special there.
Robert Mullins
2022-05-04 22:43:04 +0000 UTCthis seems kinda contrived and like a chosen one story
Deltoren
2022-05-04 22:37:10 +0000 UTCOh, who gets to tell the Orcs they ruined all of Creation for everyone else when they discovered Miasma? That's gonna be an awkward conversation.
Collateral_ink
2022-05-04 22:21:24 +0000 UTCAlysara can now claim to be the oldest being alive... Or does time spent without a body not count?
Grimm
2022-05-04 22:16:12 +0000 UTCThanks for the chapter
Mikael Svensson
2022-05-04 22:14:08 +0000 UTCWould probably be more like "Ting! Alysara, the Runalymo, has learning/witnessed The Archive of Eternity!" or something like that
Squirtle
2022-05-04 21:59:08 +0000 UTCNow im curious what you are thinking about where this is going

2022-05-04 21:57:22 +0000 UTC56m
Captdeth
2022-05-04 21:57:20 +0000 UTCI find it odd that she was around to get the notification for Mana, Miasma, Magic and Aether, but no mention of Experience or Divinity.
Squirtle
2022-05-04 21:55:54 +0000 UTCAh! I think I know where author is planning to bring this novel now! But I won't say because spoiling but still, I think it's a good path!

2022-05-04 21:47:00 +0000 UTCKinda hoping for a funny but inconvenient world notification after she wakes up. Something really ambiguous and likely to cause no end of questions. Like, "Ting! Alysara, the Runalymo, has learned The Truth!"

2022-05-04 21:39:19 +0000 UTCI really hope, that the reviewing of the memory didn't last more than some days. Otherwise Alysaras timetable will have to be reshuffled.

2022-05-04 21:37:46 +0000 UTCI'm less worried about what Myrou will do to Alysara and more concerned about what they will do in general. Unless I miss my guess, I don't think the Gods were aware of just how relatively new they actually are, and I definitely don't think they knew about the Reality Eater. These beings that likely thought they were the top of the food chain are about to get a really, really rude awakening. A perfect recipe for poor decision making. I'm sure some are going to try to hide, creating their own contained mini-multiverses, some will try to fight (probably waking the damn thing up), and some will just go bat&#^@ crazy.

Fate Hydrax
2022-05-04 21:31:10 +0000 UTCI wonder what skills or notifications she got from reliving all of that. And will she be the same once she gets back to her body.
TaylorTot
2022-05-04 21:31:07 +0000 UTCAnd there we go. We've known for a while that Miasma is what empowers Magic to grow while Mana fuels it. Meanwhile, we know that Experience empowers Divinity to grow, but we have been lacking the fuel counterpart. Aether is that fuel, I suppose. Which means that if Alysara wants to get an understanding of the system, classes, skills, and especially cursed skills, she needs that other half. Just as she started with Sense Mana, she needs to gain Sense Aether, which can eventually be upgraded to Sense Divinity.

2022-05-04 21:24:36 +0000 UTCWhat an amazing chapter. Though, now I'm worried about what Myrou will do to her.

2022-05-04 21:18:00 +0000 UTCWhile I have complaints about parts of this story, chapters like this remind me why I'm quite attached to it. Manages to be terribly evocative while limited by (or due to being limited by) the medium of announcements and thoughts. Also nice to get some larger scale worldbuilding.
