The reveal of so many new worlds… well, it shocked me to say the least. Even if I wanted to, I wouldn’t be able to buy even half of them. When I made a quick check of one of the words, I found that the civilization wasn’t too advanced. From what I could gather, the system only advanced it up to the basic tribal stage before determining that the planet had successfully cultivated a sapient race. Maybe that was to prevent contradictions with alien races not making their way towards a Keeper’s…-

I sat with Ryone sitting across my lap, the two of us staring attentively at the screen. As an experiment, we focused on the tree of the sylvan tree, which had come to be known as the Tree of Life. We wanted to identify the growth rate of the sylvans, and also determine what the differences were between the different colors. What we saw was, in a word, fascinating. Roughly a year after the initial birth of the Sylvan race, the second generation of green fruits fell from the branches. When they crashed,…

“What do you mean we’ve been doing it wrong?” Dana asked with a blink, looking over to Crystal Heart as they stood next to a table, where a blueprint was being drawn in marker. “The warp core.” Crystal smiled brightly as her familiar sat in the corner, idly playing with Dana’s world spirit ‘pet’. “We’ve been thinking about it all wrong. We keep looking for a way to designate the arrival coordinates with magic, and then have the drive pull the ship in that direction.” “Isn’t…

I let out a small sigh as I watched the various scenes unfolding within the world. The issues with Eingard were… interesting, if a bit unfortunate. The fact that a third mortal god had appeared in the world, however, was something that I was quite happy for. The more of them that appeared at this stage, the more prepared we would be to fight against other second rank Keepers. Elsewhere, things were going a bit more smoothly. For instance, Earth had managed to begin the colonization of a world within…

“Requesting immediate backup.” Sarah’s voice spoke into the radio, having contacted Deckan as per the captain’s orders. “Repeat, a threat has been encountered, and we need immediate reinforcements as soon as the habitat portal is online.” “What is the origin of your threat, Eingard?” The voice that spoke back was fairly calm, but she didn’t hold that against them. It was easy to be detached when watching events unfold from behind a screen. “Scale of threat is planetary. Nature is…

Knowledge of the new God of Monsters was… not widely spread. Very few people were made aware of Tower’s ascension, and they were only those trusted by the dungeon cores themselves. Of the spectators that had watched the holy light shooting into the sky, they were unaware of its true nature. After all, there had yet to be a witness to an ascension before that. Regardless, there were countless speculations. Some people believed that an ascension did indeed take place, but that it was the ascension of…

When Jana returned to the city, she found that the dwarves she had brought from the ancestral home had finally begun to properly integrate themselves within society. Some were pursuing the path of cultivation that had been lost to them for so long, while others were sharing the secrets of stormforged weapons that this region had yet to discover. Still others could be seen lined up next to the Fairy Gate with packed bags, preparing to depart for other worlds. Jana herself was tempted to visit some of…

After roughly five minutes of waiting, the trunk of the tree began to distort. A passageway opened within the knotted wood, and a figure stepped out. This figure was clearly the same species as those surrounding the two demons, with one stark difference. Unlike the green skin of the others, this one had a yellow, almost golden skin tone. What was more shocking was that it soon opened its mouth, speaking in a tongue familiar to the demons, the elven language of Earth. “You… come from the…

When Phoenix One landed, they did so in an area well outside where the ‘plant people’ were doing their work. They could see the towering figure of the giant tree in the distance, the forest gradually encroaching on their position, but not the faintly elven creatures creating that effect. “You sure about this, Captain?” The security officer spoke up as he and Captain Alice stepped out of the craft. This wasn’t the same man who had joined the Eagle Five project. Although they had wanted to…

Following the loss of Eagle Five, a storm of activity began to take place within many of the primary worlds. Although the habitat had ultimately been lost, the fact was that the habitation itself was successful. Only the unpredictable enemy known as the ‘invasion’ had stopped a successful terraforming. With this fact in mind, Desbar, Deckan, and even Earth all began to focus heavily on their own space programs. Spica was already doing a considerable amount of work themselves, and was currently only…
