2025-10-04 21:24:46 +0000 UTC View PostIt truly was true, that though the history may not repeat itself, it will rhyme.
We weren't being rushed out into the middle of the night through some underground tunnel, but we may as well be. Luckily, though, it looked like the k...
2025-10-04 21:24:18 +0000 UTC View PostG'day everyone and welcome to my not-so-weekly 'I have some thoughts and nowhere else to share them' post. How have you all been?
One thing I've realized while writing the novel is that... there's no romance. Which is honestly kind of u...
2025-10-03 22:06:35 +0000 UTC View PostOld man Gu returned around midway through the day after the disaster; in the meantime, Gu Hai snuck out and came over to us, sort of bringing us up to speed on what was happening.
By their accounts, there were, in total, around 2,000 casualt...
2025-10-03 21:53:18 +0000 UTC View PostThe night fell, though the city was still very much alive.
Okay, maybe alive is a bit of an inappropriate word, considering, but there were lights practically everywhere as virtually every able-bodied person had come to aid in tryin...
2025-10-03 21:52:09 +0000 UTC View PostIt hurt.
Oh my God, did it ever hurt.
In the process of trying to save as many people as possible, I've incurred about seventy-seven gashes and twice as many nicks, and all so even through the protection of the Lao and Tao. Or, how I s...
2025-10-02 21:22:51 +0000 UTC View PostShe wove her fingers gently and tore open a hole in the void, pulling the newcomer in with her.
Opposite of her stood a shadowy figure, its edges like vanishing smoke.
It was an Avatar, prompting her to frown.
Of all the curse...
2025-10-01 21:39:30 +0000 UTC View PostThe world was pretty, Light thought.
The looming pavilions of the city faded like smoke, and were instead replaced by a milky-white haze. It was calm and pretty, like a stone garden.
She stepped out onto the stage, as it were, and wai...
2025-10-01 21:37:02 +0000 UTC View PostWan Lan took a deep breath, her foot rapping against the ground repeatedly as she tried to steel her nerves. She wasn't even quite certain why she was nervous, just that she was. Perhaps it was the expectations levied against her by the S...
2025-09-30 21:53:47 +0000 UTC View PostDai Xiu was sitting in one of the alcoves, feeling rather bored and entirely uninterested in the competition, when she felt the tendrils of Qi crack like thunder above her. She immediately shot up to her feet and ran out, facing the sky just as th...
2025-09-29 19:52:56 +0000 UTC View PostWith one step, Xi Zhao found himself blurred against the shadow stirrings; having expected it, he remained calm, waiting for the undulating tendrils of darkness to bleed back into ether, revealing a world slightly different than the one he left. 2025-09-29 19:51:33 +0000 UTC View Post
The competition began, yet I could hardly concentrate on any of it; my eyes kept darting between Long Tao who'd closed his eyes to meditate, and the 'Lady' whose head stayed at a persistent tilt, gazing northward. With each passing second, it felt...
2025-09-28 21:43:10 +0000 UTC View PostI'm nervous. I'm anxious. I'm excited. I'm a many million things, truth be told, and they all worked perfectly in concert to make me... nauseous.
Now, it might be because I was standing--or, well, sitting--about a thousand feet up off the g...
2025-09-27 19:19:40 +0000 UTC View PostLong Tao crouched and planted the final flag; a burst of energy was short and minimal, but the last sign that the array's bond had been established.
Looking up over the overcast eaves of the rundown buildings, his eyes gazed upon the strang...
2025-09-27 19:19:06 +0000 UTC View PostDays whizzed by rather uneventfully, all things considered.
I locked myself up in a room, hiding from the Sect's Elders that looked at me in ways that triggered all my internal alarm sensors.
In the meanwhile, the fanfare of the Gathe...
2025-09-26 21:32:01 +0000 UTC View Post"... you did what?" That was me, living out a cliche I haven't lived out in over fifteen years of my life, all so while accompanied by a comical expression, and the tone of the voice that belonged more so in a sitcom than reality.
But... it...

2025-09-25 21:11:00 +0000 UTC View PostLao Shun stared rather disinterestedly at the monkey performance being put on in front of him; if it wasn't so haplessly inane, he might have even applauded the entertainment value of it. Though he knew from the onset that the two morons in front ...
2025-09-24 21:34:22 +0000 UTC View PostLong Tao stopped by a bakery at the side of the street and bought a freshly baked bun with some sour cherry before finding a nearby bench, plopping himself on top of it, and slowly eating away.
It wasn't all that good, but it was at least s...
2025-09-23 21:23:51 +0000 UTC View PostHe eyed me for a long while, a faint grin hanging on his lips. I'd already tried inspecting him with the Creator's Eyes, but I'd need 400 points just to take a peek at his status, and considering I've got 0, it was a moot point.

2025-09-23 21:23:05 +0000 UTC View PostWe actually walked on foot, crossing the narrow alleyways and emerging onto the main street within a few moments. Oddly enough, though, nobody paid attention to us, almost as though they couldn't see us. Either that, or everyone in the city knew w...
2025-09-22 20:48:36 +0000 UTC View PostI'm sweating.
Oh my God, I'm sweating.
This woman is intense. Especially now that I'm left alone with her.
We'd stepped out of the room and into the central hall as Gu Zhao went out to 'prepare', leaving the two of us on...
2025-09-21 21:57:41 +0000 UTC View Post"This is the ancient text where you found the solution?" Zhu Zhen asked cautiously, her voice dripping with doubt.
She saw 'ancient texts' countless times in her life, and 99 out of a 100, they turned out to be fakes. It was usually charlat...
2025-09-21 21:57:09 +0000 UTC View Post"As I said," he started. "According to my father, Alchemy is strict. And it's an enclosed group--so much so, in fact, that a good number of Alchemist don't even take on Disciples and hide their knowledge like you would a cultivation metho...
2025-09-20 20:42:39 +0000 UTC View PostWith the help of Long Tao's mother, I figured out a rather realistic way to age paper properly, additionally adding some tears and imperfections and even yellowing that happens over time.
His father also happened to know how to mix ingredie...
2025-09-20 20:42:14 +0000 UTC View PostI'm pretty sure Long Tao just handed me something that will cause me no small amount of headache when I try to explain how exactly I have it with me.
Looking at the paper, it was a list of... words? I think? Honestly, I may as well be stari...
2025-09-19 20:37:04 +0000 UTC View PostWhat exactly did I need from the Sect Master?
... honestly, nothing? I mean, not nothing--he's far more versed in the alchemy than I am, and probably even Long Tao is, so maybe he does actually have a pill that could fix the girl, b...
2025-09-19 20:36:34 +0000 UTC View PostLuckily, Long Tao didn't do anything stupid... I don't think.
He'd gone and come back, and the city wasn't falling apart, and there wasn't a martial law being put in place, and there weren't squadrons of guards patrolling the streets looking...
2025-09-18 21:50:36 +0000 UTC View PostLong Tao stepped out of the compound, past the pair of yawning guards that seemed none the wiser. His pace was brisk and nonchalant as he navigated the few narrow alleyways that led past the looming buildings and onto the main street, stepping int...
