Sweating and panting, Ben alone looked fine as he watched from the side while the other four moved their bodies for whatever workout they could get, suffering through it for the vague hope it might help ensure that they’d get through that floor ...

“Alright, three courses, nice and simple! Appetizer, main, and dessert, the classic trifecta so let’s get this started!”

Even without pulling out his extra bodies he was doing multiple things at once, pulling out pots, pans, and cuttin...

“Alright, guess it’s time to see if I passed or not,” Ben muttered once the time limit ran out and a new doorway appeared. With the reassurance that failure wouldn’t mean his death like in so many other towers and trials, that meant the on...

CH847

He was already pushing the next door open as he asked and rushing through to the one beyond it, barely even noting the lack of a rest area that all of the magic towers had given them with his curiosity not able to be contained. The first floor had...

“Oh yeah, here we go!” Jake yelled while Ben pressed his hands against the doors, preparing to walk through. “Second last tower and second last tower blessing, here we come!”

“Jake, we’re not even doing anything to earn this one,...

“So things went well with Sachel?” Thera asked as they made their way through the magic towers, that not being their final destination but instead just a close stop to get to the world’s gate network.

“Yeah, she said she didn’t nee...

“Hey, any chance you know where Bloom went off to?” Ben asked at the start of the day, getting a nod from Lux while her focus remained on playing with her son.

“He’s out helping in the fields right now.”

“What, like farming...

CH843 Thera's Perspective

“Princess, doesn’t the morning mist make for such a lovely greeting?”

Not as nice as the smell of smoke, why not indulge? I hear mortals tend to find comfort in such things.”

Better to start the day energized,” Another voice ...

The blessing and curse spirits, lightning, fungal, and magma spirits, decay spirits, mud spirits, and more. If the great spirits were able to find holders of a given magic then they had brought them, no matter how obscure the combined affinity mig...

CH841

Two days later a small crowd had gathered in the yard of Pelenia’s home, the guests all wearing amulets to protect themselves with few really understanding why they were there. The only thing they knew was they were all being paid for only a lit...

CH840

No one said anything at first, no one could. What possible response could there be for such a request? The fact that Bloom and all of the other plant spirits now existed implied that any combined affinity could be made if Mora wanted to, with only...

March Poll!!!

Alright time for the poll but as a form of enrichment to my environment, we’ll be doing things marginally different for this one. So, normally I give you all a list of characters to choose from and the main reason I started doing that instead of...

Side Story: And now for something a little different. Coffee shop AU

The smell of the fresh sweet loaves bled into the aroma of the coffee filling the air as Ben pulled them out of the oven, carefully slicing them to put on display and feeling proud of what he’d made that day, needing only one thing to pull it to...

“You owe Sachel.”

The first words his god told him when he went up to the realm for the night, leaving Ben to give the cube a confused look.

“Why?”

“She helped make sure no angry mob would try to kick you out of town.�...

CH838 Sachel's Perspective

“Sachel, Ceselee’s requested your immediate presence,” Onk said as soon as she opened the door, the knocking ensuring she got up when all she’d wanted was an early night, leaving her rubbing her eyes as she answered.

“Ugh, Onk? Wha...

It was only as he finished up as much as he could in Stonewall that he passed through the gate to Anailia, relying on bind to tell him where to find Thera as he navigated the halls of her home to find far more than he’d expected, with the room h...

CH836 Thera's Perspective

Calling demons the enemy of the world was really thinking too small by that point, they’d destroyed and conquered countless worlds and shown no inclination to stop. Even Ben, a mind reader with no preconceived notions about them when he’d arri...

CH835 Thera's Perspective

She tried to keep the headache from touching her face as she left Ben, taking her first step through the gate to her old room and trying to seem positive for Mora and Bloom both as she went, even if she was expecting things to instantly become a m...

CH834

He tried to keep from looking injured as he rushed back, acting like he hadn’t just been briefly crushed by the time he reached the shop door, the new great spirit held in his arms making for a good distraction to keep Thera from seeing any bit ...

CH833

Where the heart of Stonewall had once stood there was now a forest, the streets filled with plants towering higher in the sky than anything outside of their walls and only growing still, up and out as the stalks and branches spread while Ben strug...

CH832 Mora's Perspective

Delair was humming as she pulled him through the streets, the young dryad as full of energy as ever while Mora looked at her, filled with his own curiosity from the bits in her soul that were standing out, forcing a question to the front of his mi...

Man, I hate the gods of this world so fucking much.

<Might I point out you’re talking to one of them?>

No, I’m having an idle thought that you walked in on, and besides, you know I’m not talking about you. Most...
