Gryphe stormed into the Council tent in a foul mood. Her eyes locked onto Eleha, and she growled, "These recall crystals are not toys; each activation consumes two Tier 3 cores. Next time, you'll walk back," she declared. "It was Katara who—" "Who forced you? So, the rumor is true, you're afraid of the Tier 0s?" Gryphe taunted, turning to Felix. One of the clan's three Tier 4s and Eleha's great-uncle frowned but didn't respond. The warrior was protective of his family but despised weakness. It was…

Priam grinned as he saw Gabrielle's surprise. The teenager looked around with wide eyes, discreetly tapping the ground with her foot. “A spatial pocket grafted onto the tree?” she asked in French. “It's a natural organ of Log-a-rhythm,” Priam explained. Thanks to his privileged connection with the tree, he now understood that the organ grew with the plant. That was why the walls of the spatial pocket were made of wood and sap flowed inside. “Did it absorb a spatial fragment? Or is it a…

Today, he chose to resurrect a second after his death. A few flames flickered as Priam regained consciousness. Reunited with his Concept, he used the perception of fire to perceive the world. The combination of his Breath and Pyro had created a pyrotechnic tower that assaulted the sky. At the center of the blast, a sphere of authority pushed back the flames, creating a blind spot for his fire sense. Priam materialized one of his eyes to obtain a visual signal. With her body greatly burned, breathing…

His Potential flowed freely to keep His opponent's arm pulled with terrifying force, but Priam's grip refused to yield. Opening his mouth, Priam released the Breath he had quickly condensed. The attack lacked energy—he had less than a second to gather aether—but his newfound ability to manipulate and concentrate aether had enabled a swift charge. Pyro merged with the Breath to create a terrifying laser. The unknown woman blocked with her second dagger and Kazuki backed away. Turning his head, Priam…

"Such arrogance," Eleha retorted after finishing her laughter, a cruel smile hanging on her lips. "Very well, I think a duel is an excellent idea. Once your dreams are shattered, you'll surely be ready to obey." Kazuki glanced at the other two Tier 3s. The woman grimaced, and the man crossed his arms with a sigh. Neither seemed inclined to intervene. Summoning his spear into his hand, Kazuki gestured to Eleha towards the Forum. "If we steer clear of Ymir's pavilion, the Forum should be able to…

The wyvern heart in his chest quickened, pumping hot blood through his veins. A steam cloud escaped his mouth, and Priam became aware that his body temperature was going off the charts. His body surged with a draconic instinct awakening, calling upon his heritage. The evolution of vivacity had nothing to do with the System and would not unfold gently. Priam knelt, bracing for the pain. Without warning, his bloodline froze, resonating with its origin across time and space. The world around Priam slowed…

In a dimly lit cavern, a few bioluminescent mushrooms cast a greenish glow upon a haunted skeleton and a child. Despite their physical differences, the two beings were brothers. Lying in the center of the chamber on a rune-covered platform, a young woman appeared to be asleep. She was stunning, with smooth skin and all limbs intact. Recent treatment had healed both her body and soul. Beneath her lay a crystalline block containing her soulless clone. "Let's begin," a voice echoed from beyond the grave. "If…

As his add-on scoured the Sun Shop for the best Concept to integrate into his inner world, Priam contemplated the different choices available. "No Tier 2 or higher Concepts," Priam noted. "The System won't give you a chance to turn apocryphal," explained the phoenix. "Well, I wouldn't mind snagging a Time fragment." Slowing down time in Concepts Archipelago would have been a formidable ability. "Dream on. Have you made your choice?" "I’m debating between support Concepts," Priam replied, eyeing his…

Maya bit her lip. If Wang Lin was right, then the factions had no choice. Forcing a ban would be like hindering the will of the Seven. A surefire way to die. "Calypse Daccantz... Is he going to do something?" "He already did something," the colonel replied. "Something blatantly foolish, as he's vanished. Elysium's residents are deemed the soldiers of the Seven. The System won't let parasites attack its fighters—weak as they may be. I'd wager he's been conscripted." Conscripted... Sent to Elysium with…

Priam sighed as he perused the list generated by his add-on after analyzing the items offered at the Auctions. There were many puzzles designed to hone Aether Manipulation skills, but most were disappointingly ordinary. "Ymir?" "Is it normal to have so few aether puzzles?" The merchant nodded. "These kind of puzzles are meant to enhance the skills of young individuals. Selling them would be sacrificing the new generation. Only a desperate faction would offer such items... or the seller could be a…
