Shoutout to Bruh_Vista for beta-reading and providing extensive feedback for this chapter! ____ What is a relapse? It is a term often associated with addiction. When a person, after abstaining from their addiction, slips up and reverts to old, destructive habits, it is called a relapse. Shuri had relapsed. However, the problem was that she didn't show any signs of being addicted in the first place. And what was she even addicted to? It all happened in a blur, to be honest. A sudden burst of ecstasy…-

Shoutout to Bruh_Vista for beta-reading and providing extensive feedback for this chapter! ____ Guy was shocked to see a familiar franchise from his previous world appearing in his humble organization's portfolio. For a moment, he feared that he had unintentionally crossed paths with the only other person who had been transported to this world and had the foolish idea of plagiarizing a business venture from his past life without even changing its name! Observing his disciple's awkward chuckle, Guy…

Shoutout to Bruh_Vista for beta-reading and providing extensive feedback for this chapter! ____ Markus approached his Master's room tentatively, his steps uncertain. Ever since his Master had achieved a breakthrough into the Core Formation realm, Markus had sensed a subtle change in his countenance and an indescribable aura about him. As he crossed the imaginary threshold ten feet from his Master's door, a heavy aura enveloped him, making each step increasingly difficult and the air denser. 'This…

Shoutout to Bruh_Vista for beta-reading and providing extensive feedback for this chapter! ____ It didn't take much convincing for Markus to agree to Shuri's second term and request. In the grand scheme of things, it wasn't costly as compared to the first one that called for setting up a slime and wisp farm. A large-scale landscaping operation would be required as the meadow entrance to the underground cavern where Fancy lived was off-limits. But the investment was worth it, and a rough financial…

Shoutout to Bruh_Vista for beta-reading and providing extensive feedback for this chapter! ____ "So what brings you to these necks of the wood?" Markus asked as he cleared up all the exercise books from his desk. "We just had a class here today..." Shuri answered with a low mumble, to which Markus responded with a cheeky laugh. "Anyways-" Markus continued. "I've been expecting you." "You have?" Shuri blurted out. "Well, not me personally. But Marie dropped by earlier this morning and told me…

Shoutout to Bruh_Vista for beta-reading and providing extensive feedback for this chapter! ____ The walk back to the Sect was awkward. Shuri could feel Marie's gaze boring down on her from over her shoulder, and it was unnerving. "Interesting..." Shuri heard Marie mutter out loud. Shuri ignored it and continued walking forward while clutching the ball even closer to her body. "Interesting..." Marie repeated, but a bit louder. Now Shuri was certain that Marie intended to attract her attention…

Shoutout to Bruh_Vista and Equinoxes for beta-reading and providing extensive feedback for this chapter! ____ Shuri drew closer to the hollowed tree with cautious steps. The target of her troublesome search was somewhere beneath the roots of the creepy-looking monolith that was also housing a newborn hybrid creature with the powers of apex insectoid magical beasts. "Well, I guess that's it," Shuri declared with a shrug and turned to leave. Things had risen above her metaphorical "pay grade" and it…

Shuri watched as Marie conjured a gust of wind to dissipate the pollen hanging in the air. As the dust settled, she was able to gauge the nature of the battle to a better degree. It was between two combatants - more precisely between a single combatant against an army led and spearheaded by the second combatant. "That's an Insect Queen," Shuri murmured. "Fancy!" Dora finally extricated herself from Marie's loose grasp and bounded towards the downed Insect Queen named Fancy. The beast was magnificent…

"Curiosity killed the cat." This turn of phrase was an apt reminder that kept Shuri alive throughout her rather short yet danger-prone life. It was often better to not know something than to die knowing too much. People forget that knowledge is power, and power is like a magnet that attracts trouble. Shuri lost count (not really) of the number of people within the castles who lost their tongue or their head just for being more informed than they were supposed to, or for going out of their way to know…

Shoutout to Bruh_Vista and Equinoxes for beta-reading and providing extensive feedback for this chapter! ____ During the entire process, Sect Leader Larks would move aside and exaggerate his shaping movements to deconstruct the process for the benefit of the audience. "Note how I am shaping the branch into a uniform shape. Remember, it is best to strip out the bark and leave as much of the inner wood intact. Working the wood unnecessarily will make it weaker and cause it to break easily." After…
