I let out a light yawn after dealing with this most recent Void Assault – the name that people have started calling what were formerly called Demonic Assaults since now they’re just Corrupted Fractures opening up and void creatures attacking instead of demons. Meanwhile I float up high in the sky lying down on a reclined throne made of blood metal while staring up at the moon that had just returned to its normal shade. It’s been… boring. Very boring. Ever since Tar left for the rest of the fae…-

“And we’re live,” Jason Todd hears in his invisible earpiece. “Hello everyone! We’re Arcadia News here with another update about the Void Invasion!” Jason quickly gets into it as he stands at the edge of the rooftop looking out over the roof at the remnants of a Fracture. One that is still filled with the corpses of dozens of voidlings all being picked up and carried to various trucks for transporting. “If you’re not up to date, we’ll start with a recap of the last time. Over the course…

There is only one nation. The Terran Republic. The Terran Republic: Splits the people between three classes, in three Tiers of city. Tier 1 cities are full of wonderous buildings, many of which are skyscrapers seemingly touching the skies. The public transportation is through magi-tech trains that travel almost as fast as the speed of sound. The cities are guarded by the best of the best in terms of Guardians, most of whom are bloodline Guardians whose family is made up of Guardians as well, and each and…

After my little show of power wipes out all of the other contractors, I’m left in the arena alone with Aria while our two fae companions go at a leisurely pace completing the puzzles. And I can’t help but wonder how the audience is reacting right about now. Are they bored? Or maybe amused? Frightened even? Either way, I just continue playing chess with Aria using makeshift pieces of blood metal as we float in the air on a platform also made of blood metal, sitting on blood metal chairs. And Aria…

And after saying that, Titania immediately teleports to a spot high in the air above the arena. A spot where she will wait. And where she will watch. As the Wolf of the Blood Moon is truly sired. Where she earns her name. Then, just as Titania foresaw all those years ago, the Wolf of the Blood Moon, Warden of the Red Plague, Dragon Slayer, and the other Titles she’s gathered, floats up into the air, a faint grin stretching across her face. Meanwhile the other contestants all focus their gazes on…

As soon as the king says that, all of the fae amongst us vanish and reappear down in a massive cube. One separated into forty different sections, each meant for one fae a piece. And each filled with more puzzles than I can count. Good luck Tar. Meanwhile all of us contractors are left floating high above the cube as an arena begins to form all around the cube itself. One filled with dozens of different terrains with the terrains alternating repeatedly. And then we’re all left watching the fae progress…

The instant I activate Crimson Overdrive after shooting it up over a dozen levels in one go, black and crimson energy immediately covers my fist. Yes. Black and crimson. Not just the normal crimson. Rather surprising. Then I get a bigger surprise when I slam my fist into the ground and a massive crack emerges going down farther than I can see. I awkwardly raise my fist while standing up straight again and staring at the massive fissure I made. One that is so deep I’m pretty sure I can see some red…

I only spend another hour at the party before floating away from the castle to go test out my new transcendent skill. And I can’t help but think that floating like this is rather fun. Before when I tried floating using a mixture of Blood Manipulation and Blood Transformation, I always felt rather uncomfortable. Kind of like I was very lightly tugging on my own blood. And even when I used Warden of the Red Plague it felt like my own blood was fighting me. Because it was. Since it was the Red Plague. But…

After we’re all dismissed for the night, I quickly go back to Tartarus. Then I float myself up above the Demon King’s Castle right around the same time that Gramps himself arrives right next to me. “You ready?” he asks. “You’re not still tired from the competition or your coma, right?” I smile wryly at that as I answer, “Yeah, I’m fine. Better than fine even.” Actually, in terms of brute force power, I might just be stronger than Gramps now. Maybe. Of course, brute force power or…
