The Tribulation Lightning churned and raged because of the appearance of Leandra's enormous avatar, like her very existence was an affront to the Heavens. Before it was just some of the t...

“I can’t believe that guy is this greedy,” Zac sighed. “Your purchases would have bankrupted a normal D-Grade force.”
“There is an endless number of Daos. It’s pretty good that Jeeves only wanted the taste of three hundred,” Kenzie laughe...

The Thayer Consortium had gained over two hundred billion Nexus from selling Kenzie’s Array Breakers over the past three years. That wasn’t much compared to established mercantile unions, but it was still a shocking amount considering how small a perce...

Gaining levels was usually the easiest part for geniuses, with Daos and Achievements causing the biggest delays. However, Zac had long heard about how many people got stuck in the middle of the E-Grade, bottlenecked to never reach the peak. At first, he had tr...

Zac woke up with a start, but he immediately regretted the sudden movement as sharp pangs of pain wracked his body. He had fallen asleep again, his own body’s way to forcibly try to make him rest. His pathways were a mess, and his body was completely wrung dry. He felt so weak, like his body had been ravaged by illness for ...

A/N: I was supposed to write this note yesterday, but I forgot.
Thursday and Friday will both be double-chapter days.
Instead, there will be no chapter on the 8th and 15th of May (both Saturdays) for this Tier, so I guess you could call them advance advance chapters....

The whole world was fast collapsing judging by the tumultuous Memorysteel Fragments crashing into each other and getting lost to the Void. A glance around also proved there was no one else in the area. It was just himself, his sister, and the unmoving body of Cervantes. Of course, there was also the Dimensional Seed.

Zac held no delusions that Cervantes wouldn't try to kill him the moment they had managed to deal with the Dominator, but troubled times called for strange alliances. Zac cracked his neck as he looked at his current state. A wave of exhaustion had already hit him since the boost of [Hatchetman's Rage] had end...

Adrenaline and fear coursed through Zac’s body as he saw the spatial tear in front of Adcarkas widen. It wasn’t because of the ability itself, but rather what he saw through the rip in space. It was his sister surrounded by multiple monitors. The tear was somehow completely bypassing the golden alloy to allow the Dominato...

Zac had been completely convinced that it was Void’s Disciple he tackled and pushed down from the Dimensional Seed. Who else would be able to withstand the intense fluctuations except for a Spatial Cultivator? But it turned out he was wrong. The aura of the one he tackled was identical to the one who had attacked him just n...

The Dimensional Seed had been the ultimate goal for so many people since its existence was discovered, and now Zac was finally standing right in front of it. Just looking in its general direction made Zac’s mind scatter again, forcing him to turn his head away. The treasure might not be actively dangerous to interact with, ...

“We might have an advantage, but there’s a lot of variables at play. There’s something odd going on with his place,” Kenzie said, and there was hesitation on her face. “There are items meant to deal with spatial anomalies in the labs, and this isolation chamber has somehow followed into this world. It's like we're m...

“Ah, what happened to you?!” Billy exclaimed as he looked up at Zac's hulking form. “How are you bigger than Billy?!”
Zac turned toward the Titan, and he saw that the Anointed were looking at him with hesitation as well.

Zac was almost in a reverie as he led the group through the forest. Each breath brought new insights, each step was a revelation.
However, the tranquility was suddenly broken as Rhubat roared “Attack!”
Everyone reacted instinctively, and Zac conjured his energy forest and hundreds of leaves even though he coul...

Zac looked around with shock and confusion, really feeling that he had arrived at paradise. He had an extremely weak perception of the Dao, but even he could feel like there was something special about the world he had appeared in. Looking at the stalks of grass gently swaying in the wind filled his mind with impressions and ...

“This isn’t a game, you know," Zac sighed as he turned to his sister.
“Just look,” Kenzie said as she tapped a button on her tablet.
Zac frowned with confusion, but his eyes widened in shock when a meter-thick Memorysteel wall suddenly sprung up in front of Kenzie, completely shielding her. Even he would h...

"We're climbing the mountain. It's time to deal with the Dominators for real," Zac said, and two sets of ruthless eyes turned to the massive planet in the sky.
"Finally. This wound of mine has been itching for a while now," Ogras muttered.

Hekruv Vira had already arrived, and he stood waiting a few dozen meters behind. However, he came over and looked over the cliffside after getting waved over by Zac.
“What a mess,” the monkeyman muttered as he looked down at the battlefield.
“Can you make the Gemlings back away?” Zac asked.
“Are th...

Zac perused the contents of the tablet he gained from Hekruv Vira while walking north with the army, and he gained far more in an hour than he had from all the missives he'd bought until now. And that was even when just scratching the surface. The Bloodline Codex, as they called the database, was essentially True Sky Faction...

Zac quickly pieced together the puzzle of his Bloodline Talent as he ran behind the Anointed and the demons in their mad dash away from the section with a weakened spatial barrier. The battle just now had given him a crash-course on the effect of [Force of the Void]; it appeared to be some sort of energy rese...

Zac still hadn’t recovered to his perfect state, but there was no helping it. There was a sense of foreboding in his heart as he saw the thick film slowly bulge inward, and he quickly put his free points into Dexterity before he closed his status screen. Only then did he jump down from the Anointed’s shoulder and ran over...

Zac woke up with a start and was greeted by a throbbing pain all over his body. His skull had become two sizes too small, and it felt like his mouth was full of gravel. He coughed and got up on his feet, realizing he was not in the pod or even the lab any longer. He vaguely remembered the cave and the pod exploding, but every...

Carl rushed into the cave with glee, not forgetting to flip off that god-damn demoness who had stolen two caves right in front of him over the last hours by using her earth-attuned movement skills to get ahead. It felt like his legs were about to buckle under him up here at the tenth layer, and all his organs hurt like he was...

Zac initially felt reckless for jumping in without thinking things through, but he had pretty much confirmed that the medicinal properties of the liquid were good for him by this point.

There was not much Zac could do to help his people, apart from urging them forward toward parts of the mountain that were hopefully not picked clean. He did consider turning the around more than one time, instead heading in the direction of the Lunar Tribe. There was no way the cultists had picked the lower layers clean in th...

Hekruv Vira sighed as he looked out at the remaining droplets of light that lit up the void like fireflies at the end of their flight. Another one had just winked out, no doubt because of the energy finally running out. They had built a hundred arks just in case, but now just three remained.
One could argue that the los...
