Aurora woke up alone in the underground room. Her surroundings seemed to have reverted to the normal Abyss dungeon in her sleep. Aurora waited to feel Ava’s touch. She vaguely remembered the larger female falling asleep spooning her body. So, the lack of body heat was concerning. Had Ava decided to leave Aurora alone for the time being? Though Aurora did feel something heavy draped around her neck. It made her feel sore and tired. She did not remember owning such an accessory. Aurora could only…

Joyous laughter filled the chamber. The overlooker’s frame shook with amusement at Aurora’s words. “I expected nothing else from the one selected by the Abyss. That being said, what are you planning to do? Do you have any idea where those fragments of your lover are?” The overlooker asked. Aurora went red and then pale. She had never entertained the possibility of not being able to find Clove’s soul when she had planned the future. She had not even considered it a hindrance. But looking back…

Stepping into the domain we like stepping into Aurora’s memories. Everything inside the room looked like it had when Aurora last saw it. But Aurora knew that was not possible. This place did not exist in the present timeline. This palace was created using her memories. “Welcome back. Did you have fun today?” Aurora knew this place was not real, but the hands on her waste felt familiar. Clove’s hands moved under Aurora’s shirt, reaching for Aurora’s chest. Clove’s body molded itself to…

Rita was not sulking. She would deny it if Aurora pointed out that she was sulking. She was just disappointed at the outcome of their discussion with Astoria. “Stop sulking. Astoria did not say no to our request. She just asked for some time before deciding on this topic.” Aurora remembered. She was not worried about Astoria taking her time before deciding on her offer. Astoria had been conditioned to follow the Tower’s orders all her life. Going against that conditioning would take time. “But…

“Rita, block,” Aurora called out. She was not aware she had gained some distance between herself and Rita. It was just enough for her not to be able to make it back to Rita’s side in time for the attack. Thankfully, Rita managed to block the attack on her own. Her knife collided with the claws heading her way and halted a fatal blow to her head. Aurora heaved a sigh of relief before she had her spear aimed at the head in front of her. The white obstructed her sight as tree branches began to sprout…

The tower group had given Aurora enough fodder to chew. But it did make sense in the general timeline of things. This could be the tower’s initial step in retaliation against the outlanders. It was a little early in the time frame but not unacceptable development. “We need to head back and warn Damian’s clan. They will become targeted because of us.” Rita sounded shocked. Treachery like this was nothing new in their world. Getting caught up in the middle of a revenge plot was a common occurrence…

Sara and Boss Bill seemed divided on their opinions. The glaring match seemed to be intensifying. But it did look like Sara had the lead in that match-up. Her glare looked like it wanted to burn Bill apart. “D-Don’t give me that look. I am the boss and what I say is what we will do. And my gut says to trust the young miss here.” Bill forced those words out. His nervousness grew the more he was glared at by Sara. “You say that now boss. But you do remember what happened the last time you had a…

Aurora felt only a sliver of surprise as the ground broke before she twisted her body and landed on her feet. Rita landed a few steps beside her on her familiar. The huge cat disappeared as soon as Rita’s feet touched the ground. It took only one second for the pair to realize that they had landed in the middle of a gathering. To be more precise – a thief’s gathering. “Looks like you were right. There is an underground passage here. Now, let’s get our stuff back.” Rita made a punching…

Aurora corrected Rita’s path for the third time by placing her hand on the younger’s back. She was sure Rita was not clumsy enough to barge into everyone she came across. “Rita, behave. And don’t fight with the shopkeeper. Her attitude can be a bit ‘questionable’ for her profession, but don’t mind it.” Aurora advised Rita. Aurora eyes a dejected first-time adventurer walking away from the shop with almost tears in his eyes and she felt bad for him. Those shopkeepers were ruthless in words…

“It looks like it’s going to rain. You should wait for the rain to slow down first.” The outlander suggested as she walked them to the valley’s end. Aurora sneaked a look down and eyes the fissure. The fissure was their entrance to the Abyss. Since the Abyss was a gigantic entity, it had many available entries. Any place that broke the surface of a settlement could be used as an entry to the abyss. Most entries were locked. The more vicious ones were regulated by the tower. It left only so many…
