The development of the Holy Knights was not a matter that could be settled quickly. In fact, Priscilla used the power of these knights to create a temporary barracks out in the countryside that she could use to train them, letting them practice and showcase their new skills by hunting local monsters. This process took several weeks, during which several new innovations took place. First of all, the temporary realm for the Metong had been established. Though it was little more than an infinite expanse of…-

These days, it felt like there were fewer and fewer ways for me to personally get involved in the development of my world. As Tsubaki had implied before, we were now in an age where one man, no matter how strong or important, was ultimately less valuable than a large, well-trained force. Although my decisions could ultimately change the direction of the world’s development, I did not want to take such overarching control. Doing so would be no better than depriving my people of their own freedom to…

The time of the next invasion was coming closer, and so far, there was no word from Ashley on her being able to replicate the memetic security device that I saw on Bellarose’s trade list. According to her, she just didn’t have enough information about the structure of memes to get something that could so accurately detect and censor memes without itself risking corruption, or without blocking completely unrelated information like a random tissue commercial. Even Chelsea was interested in the system,…

Tsubaki understood how the system worked better than most, and knew to take its advice in moderation. As soon as she prompted the Keeper to activate his new title, she knew that the result would not be immediately usable. What the system provided was not the optimal solution to the problem presented, but merely an effective one. Tsubaki knew for a fact that an information block like this would be able to eliminate the type of problems that ships had been facing, but it needed to be heavily modified to…

While Udona was struggling with ideas on how to forestall the collapse of the golem realm, Dana was hard at work within her workshop. With everything else out of the way, she wanted to work on her personal projects some more. Due to the problems of energy consumption and large-scale regulations, she had to give up on the idea of a single tool that could act as a mass-produced protection device for the people of the various worlds. It was… regrettable, but there were simply too many problems with such a…

Udona paced back and forth in her office, looking at the various reports that she had on her desk. Over the last three days, there had been increasing spikes in dimensium activity within Deckan. Simultaneously, the dimensium within the realm belonging to the March and Metong were disappearing at the same intervals. The first time that it happened, the change lasted for only two seconds. After that, it lasted for ten seconds, then a minute. By the fifth time that the spike occurred, dimensium activity was…

I sat in my office, reading through the reports that had been delivered by Lifre. It had now been three weeks since her discovery of the black stone, so she had taken both Petra and the local World Spirit on an adventure. Throughout the process, they documented six different sets of black stones, the spirit noting that these appeared to be all of the stones on the floor. Of the six stones, none of them led to the same destinations, nor did any of them lead to either a uppermost or innermost floor, meaning…

Lifre ran through the rocky plateaus of the sixty-fourth floor, the world spirit floating alongside her. The spirit had already identified another cluster of black rocks that were embedded in a cave wall far away, so the duo were quickly making their way over. At first, Lifre had wanted to simply teleport to the cave to begin her exploration of the linked destination, but the spirit asked to take the scenic route. In her opinion, it was still valuable to explore this territory manually, as opposed to…

After the second round of negotiations with the Hajit, it wasn’t long before the big announcement was sent out through the city, informing everyone of the new alliance with the rest of Fyor. One thing that was nice was the fact that the premade broadcast that the thought bugs created was still perfectly usable now that they were out of the picture. After all, they were still keeping their existence confidential, so they only included what the public would need to hear in the first place. Admittedly,…

I was… surprised when I learned that Ashley had gone to outsource the story of her games to Galahan, rather than Lifre. From the start, I had simply assumed that it would be Lifre filling the role of a writer for her. It was sort of her thing, after all. However, when Ashley mentioned the same argument that she had given the halfling, that being Lifre’s total inability to remain still and focus on the task at hand, I suddenly became more understanding. I mean, sure, she has periods when she can focus…
