“Mmm. Delicious. Sweet, tender skin. Irresistible, moist flesh. I can see why this is such a beloved food.” An eerie voice harped within a room lit only by the sun’s rays.
The light invaded a spacious room filled with shelves and ornaments. It pierced through thick curtains as a steady breeze swept within. Towering stacks of sprawling paperwork shivered, miraculously holding their shape beside a pair of boots that rested atop a flawlessly crafted desk.

“So many people… They all came from the City of Spades. A-Are these people…?” Anna looked up to Frost, seeking confirmation.
Bartholow answered for her instead.
“From S3, S4, and partially S5. The Associations worked quickly when they heard the proposal of a large monetary reward thanks to a woman from a now liquidated organization. I heard good things about our ‘Black Dove’.”
“How is she? Is she ok?” Frost asked as they carefully moved through the crowds, watching people in uniforms bearing many insigni...

An unpleasant breeze swept across the lands of Brandar. The once floral scents that fluttered with colorful petals were replaced with the pungent smell of ash. Black particles were carried by the wind along the cities and settlements of the Nex Megalopolis.
Rural settlements saw huts burn and villagers rush to quell ongoing flames. They had been burning for days on end; a seemingly perpetual, indiscriminatory flame.
Those that had already seen the worst slept in ruins as they contemplated what went wrong, whether kneeling in spli...

Attributes, or otherwise known as their broader term – Affinities – identify how a Corrupted will behave, what it’s inclined to like and dislike. They allow us to categorize Corrupted broadly into 11 distinct archetypes, although, it is important to note that two Corrupted of the same Attribute will never behave the same.
It simply allows us to distinguish and categorize the Corrupted.

Snap wasn’t one to ask for favors.
But if there was one thing Snap wished to keep a secret, it was its stats. Their eight-legged friend was unlikely to be hiding something dangerous given its friendly nature.
They trusted Snap enough to keep its secrets, but Frost wished to hear at least one reason for why it was so adamant. Everyone kept secrets. Such was a given. However, without any explanation Snap was bound to spawn curiosity. At worst, people might begin to suspect Snap of wrongs.
Whilst held in Jury’s arms, Snap ...

The one, single-most important leverage to sway the Beholders of the Nexus could not have arrived at a better time. The Ability to remove the Blessing of the Nexus meant that she could cut them off from the Nexus permanently.
Because once the Blessing was taken away there was no method of reinstating it. The only other roundabout method she and Nav theorized was if they were Realized or saved like Ber. It was saddening that Cer and Res couldn’t adopt the superior version of the Blessing. Nav would have loved to communicate with them ...

On the 4th day of their arrival on the Nexus, the Advent finally fell into Frost’s hands. It occurred unexpectedly precisely at the break of dawn.
The sudden sensation was like being struck by lightning. Angina came to mind at first, which devolved into what she thought was a heart attack. The racket caused that morning sewed panic as her friends tried to understand what was going on.
That was until a flash of light burst forth from Frost’s chest. It was a temporary burst, blinding all aside from Nav who clutched at her heart...

Precious memories were made on that day. Irreplaceable bonds strengthened by laughter and joy. They were practically more than just family at this point. It was just sad that they had so few moments where they could spread their wings just like this.
No compromises were made. All the questions in the world, however arbitrary they may be, were asked underneath the stars. The crackles of a campfire played as calm waves crashed along the beach. The serene ambience was hypnotizing.
It replaced the constant explosions of the past, wit...

Res, removing her pants and standing in her sports-like underwear, sat down with an Ignis who also changed into something more appropriate. The red suit she had always worn morphed into a pleasant, casual summer dress. The instant transformation left Res dazzled.
“Weird question. Why do you wear a suit instead of, well – anything else?” She had been wondering for a long while now. As she removed her suit, Ignis grabbed at the sand underneath them and looked up at her with sincere, lovable eyes.

Water.
The bane of the filthy (Cer), and the nemesis of all felines (Ignis). Their fears regarding the sea never arose until they were finally face to face with the boundless, crystal-blue expanse. What was supposed to instill them with awe instead filled their hearts with terror.
Ignis instinctively despised the water. But the true reason wasn’t because she was afraid. Rather, it had more to do with her personal scent being washed away. Ignis waddled behind the group, sticking closely to Ber as their boots sunk into the siftin...

Right now the main release (ScribbleHub/Royal Road/HoneyFeed) is going to be receiving the Epilogue of the 6th Arc in roughly 12 chapters.

Aisyle was an unordinary name.
It didn’t trip any alarms in her mind. Elysia was known to have all kinds of weird names to begin with. Once upon a time, she met with a person named ‘Frost’ in another Site: F-H5, a Facility-orientated Site located far away from here.
That person held more authority than the figureheads who ran ImpulseWorks.
They were small too and was always surrounded by smaller people in fine suits, aside from one person. It was a woman with white hair and dark skin, dressed in a thick, grey-feathere...

The plan was to have a double story manor. Something built to look and feel like a house, rather than a base of operations. Jury’s Atelier would function as that said base when time came to preserve the peaceful beauty of the Floor of Amalgamation.
After the Frost and Jury’s intimate moment, it became clear that a separate building needed to be made just for themselves. It became their biggest priority for obvious reasons neither of them wished to dabble on.
Firstly, there were no materials to completely soundproof the walls ...

A chase ensued within the caverns. A pack of sprinting wolves followed the distinctive footsteps of potential prey. Snarls echoed closely behind the girl as she raced back into the cave, vaulting over rocks and dodging stalactites with her baggy coat curled into a giant yarn.
She tucked it between an arm, navigating through the maze of rocky pillars with surprising agility. It was nothing compared to the wolves however, who quickly approached as her mind scrambled for ideas.
“THINK ME! THINK!” She cried, keenly observing the ...

Construction on the house began that morning. By noon now the skeletal framing was roughly complete. It would take another 2 days at most to finish everything. Afterwards they’d be tasked with furnishing their home.
They considered expanding it in the future. Or making a small village for people they wanted to keep close or protect in this paradise. The Floor was too vast to be a sanctuary for the few. Maybe… for the Moons and Stars could also find a place here. Those that never had the pleasure of seeing the beautiful side of thei...

It was only a matter of time before she’d be able to do something with the Nexus.
For now, they had another 6 days for themselves. An Isolation Sphere would’ve done wonders, but Jury didn’t have much Nex left, and neither did the triplets. No one knew how much Nex Jury required daily. It could’ve been a million for all they knew, so her remaining 20 million Nex was strictly kept aside.
Slowly but surely as time elapsed within the Floor of Amalgamation, Frost could vaguely understand what Anna meant about ‘feeling’ the...

Weaving cloth was a lot harder than Frost thought. Ber’s weaving tutorials over the course of the night were magical to her. It was as if cloth was being formed between her fingers, like the intricate web of a spider.
Damaged apparel was restored thanks to her, except for Corrupted Items of course. Frost tried to apply this dexterous feat with her metal strings, creating a relatively weak cloth of steel.
It was stronger than the feathers she gathered from the One Thousand Eyed Bird, to the point where if she had fitted Cara’s...
