"Hello there.." Said the wisp of consciousness with a playful tone. In the mind of the two grand judges, it sounded that a kid had found a new toy to play with, making them the useless old toys. After acknowledging the presence of Jerigh, the wisp of consciousness moved towards him in an attempt to enter his body, but before he could come too close, a wave of sword intent washed over him, tearing his presence into shreds. The two grand judges felt a level of reassurance, but in the face of the…-

To the senate, the arrival of the Swordsman was both a welcome and unwelcome surprise. While his power and fame could easily match that of the Mindhive, the fact that he brandished a sword which bled its owner’s blood and wielded a power that was beyond anyone’s comprehension, made the Swordsman one of the most mysterious figures in the universe. Unfortunately, they needed him more than they would be willing to admit. While the senators had no doubt that the grand judges would be able to…

Six months later. Without the help of the Mindhive, the government’s effort against the Brutal were gone to waste. No matter how big of an army, or how expert of a mental warrior was sent, nothing but mutilated corpses and rumors came back to explain the changes in this particular son of Iewah. At the same time, the news of the death of the Mindhive was spread far and wide, reaching new ears every single day. Unwilling to face, or even know what the repercussions of killing one of Iewah’s mature…

After the events that took place in the core of the territory of the Proponents of Deep Sleep, the party of the universal government had decided to postpone their assault directed at the entity known as ’The Brutal’ in order to allow the Mindhive to recover. Deep space, five days later. ".. the Outcast looks terrifying." Said one of the resting soldiers to two of his companions. In his voice, was the immense stupor he had felt the moment he and his platoon had faced the two entities which had…

"DON’T YOU DARE!" Shouted Akkah with panic. In his mind, he was already planning to cancel his agreement with the universal government, and use his former artifact to recover his power to the peak, but Daniel had seen through his intentions. "STOP HIM!" he then added after turning to look at the explorers. This time the explorers did not move, and instead, waited for Daniel to speak. "What is the problem, brother? You have discarded this artifact years ago, so it should not bother you." Said Daniel…

Just like Daniel’s karmic system, every other system possessed a way to save its wielder’s life. However, their workings varied greatly. For example, Daniel’s Second Chance turned back time and allowed him a do over, while the Charmer’s system allowed its wielder to use the life of one of her charmed victims, as a ’voluntary’ sacrifice in order to prevent the woman they loved, from dying. Naturally, the mental system had its own method, which consisted in turning the entire dimension in…

Of all of Iewah’s chosen ones, the host of the Mindhive was, without a doubt, the unluckiest one of all. Back when he was a simple newborn consciousness, Instead of pretending to be one with the system just like Sewah and the rest of Iewah’s children had, the consciousness born with the mind system had convinced his host that he was a helpful entity, and that his presence was nothing but a way for him to reach deeper levels of mental cultivation. Being of good nature, the host had believed the…

The very moment the Mindhive’s incorporeal eyes landed on Daniel, his anxiousness deepened beyond measure. While he had been able to see the appearance of Daniel more than once in the past, be it in Heimart’s mind, or in the memories of the mental warrior that he had killed, those ways had not allowed him a complete understanding of him. What was lost in translation, was the feeling of the chosen of Iewah. The feeling of the presence of another system. To him, the presence of another system…

In the Dream Domain, only the thresholds between layers would require a high complexity of one’s mind, while what would change between layers, was the amount of power used to pressure the mental warriors who inhabited it. That was the reason why Daniel, while not being able to walk past the threshold himself, was easily able to withstand the pressure of the second layer, which weighed on his mind at more than five times the power of the first one. If not for his cultivation, he would have already…

Along with being a place where weak individuals could live their lives in a way they could only dream, the Dream Domain was also a place where mental warriors could temper the fortitude of their minds. While the Dream Domain had been created by the Mindhive just like Daniel’s planet, unlike him, he did not have full control over it. Daniel’s planet had merged with him when he had ascended, while the Door to Dream State was an artifact with a specific set of abilities. One of these abilities, was…
