Victor felt immense pain as if his leg had been snapped in half. The dungeon shuddered; the walls that had seemed impenetrable with enough mana running through them to form a small star began to crack and groan. Hyveth Arcspace, an Ancient dragon with domain over space, grunted as purple runic circles spun around her arms at varying speeds. Her inhuman crystal eyes shone with light, and she clenched her shark-like teeth. Throughout the chaos of the situation, Alice continued screaming. At first, Victor…

As Victor arrived at the top floor of the Grand Dungeon, he immediately spotted Wiggles in the far distance. His pet’s titanic body took up the skyline, chasing a blue blob that Victor realized was a dragon. They were over a thousand meters into the sky, and Wiggles seemed to struggle to catch the annoying fly in his gaping maw. The dragon drew Wiggles up high into the sky before dive-bombing toward the ground, causing Wiggles to roar in rage as his snack escaped. “Need a hand?” Victor chuckled as…

Xamrus Arcnight could hardly recognize the Grand Dungeon’s first floor as he flew out of the stone tunnel and was greeted by an endless meadow of lush grass with the occasional outcropping of white trees. Usually, the dragons would gather around the floor tower in the far distance, but with most of the eggs destroyed, there was little need for that now. Ever since the prison break and the subsequent hunt on the elusive necromancer that had netted the dragons a hefty loss, a grim mood was all that could…

Alice’s eyes weren’t just a subtle golden color. They were like molten gold that shimmered in the dim light—practically glowing. Likewise, her blood vessels, clearly visible through her pale skin, were like thin threads of gold, giving her a glowing complexion—which was odd since she no longer needed blood as a Darkness Mana Body. Victor scrutinized Alice, checking for any other signs of change. “Feel any different?” Alice shook her head. “Nope. Same as always.” “Mhm…” Victor…

The data provided by the computer confirmed many things—it was both a control console for the Grand Dungeon and an archive of the world’s history. Finally, a lot of questions became clear as day to Victor. His mind cracked, and the walls built by something—likely Axon—to contain the forbidden knowledge crumbled away; however, some still remained. The planet was sentient but rather simple-minded. Nevertheless, it had the potential to do amazing things…if guided correctly. This computer’s data…

There was an audible pop as Victor and Alice crossed the boundary of the floating island’s mana sphere. Genus eyed Victor’s shadowy body with a newfound caution and looked ready to run at any moment. Victor ignored the cat-like dragon and checked his status. (Lifeforce STABLE - 10451 Days) Victor looked at his arms and noticed the usual shadowy evaporation was no longer occurring. So my status wasn’t lying to me earlier after all. I really do have a stable body now. Is…

“I believe we have a lot to talk about, but time is of the essence,” Vox said as he fully stepped out of the rift in space. Then, with a swish of his shadowy hand, a throne of darkness materialized, dominating the room with its ominous and commanding presence. Vox took his seat. His two loyal servants didn’t say a word. Vox cleared his throat to draw unnecessary attention to himself and then addressed his two minions. “I reached the final floor of the Grand Dungeon. But, despite what your legends…

Toby grunted as he lifted an enormous wooden support beam that had gone flying and flattened a group of parked carriages. Everything around the Empire-facing gate was crushed, broken, frozen, or burned to cinders. A few Necron residents shifted through the rubble, yet despite their homes and businesses being decimated, they all had smiles. It had only been a few hours since Vox had appeared before the citizens and granted them immortality and nobility. In such a harsh world, where the average person…

Those words resounded like a bell in Victor’s mind as the forbidden knowledge of the more expansive universe frizzled out and became background noise. Something seemed to crawl around his mind, building walls and sealing knowledge as if knowing it would corrupt him beyond repair. “We meet again…” Victor whirled around, but the goddess’s shadowy figure followed no matter where he looked. Was she inside his mind? He stopped looking around and glared at the goddess. “So you appear once more.”…

Constantine was seated across from a very fluffy orange sloth, but his rather funny appearance was not to be taken lightly. Plutus, the head of the merchants guild, was a notable archmage and had immense influence over the Empire’s politics. The sloth let out a long sigh, took the golden-rimmed spectacles off, and carefully placed them onto the large oak desk he was seated behind. “You looking younger, Sir Constantine,” Plutus said with an amused tone. “Did the Demon Lord of Necron butcher your…
