Zac woke up, disoriented for quite some time before he found his bearings. This vision was even more impactful compared to the last in a way. Living millions and million...

Zac was walking back through the forest toward the Camp. He had spent the last 16 days in the mines and felt the need to check up on the battle preparations. He wanted t...
2019-07-12 06:26:41 +0000 UTC View PostCalrin looked over the reports and agreements strewn on his table, his feelings not much better compared to when he was holed up, waiting for the Tsarun Clan to hunt him down. He had cried in relief when someone finally purchased their headquarters, the window with the teleportation prompt looking like a writ of amnesty.

They soon came to an agreement that it wouldnt be possible to complete an outer wall in the duration that remained until the first horde arrived, and would have to focus on the inter wall instead.
Zac was a bit skeptical, as he knew...

Author Note: This is a future intermission chapter I plan on putting into the story somewhere during the beast hordes. Obviously Zac is eager to keep learning everything there is about the System and the Multi-Verse, but writing it out in one long succes...
2019-07-10 04:59:45 +0000 UTC View PostAuthor Note: after some good feedback I have changed the last paragraph of chapter 73 to what is down below. It allowed me to put this information in more organically as well.
The central area would be residential, with some businesses such as bars, and bath houses peppered in, and it would be conne...
2019-07-09 08:26:26 +0000 UTC View PostZac and Ogras walked northbound away from the shipyard. If they were going to get a compound full of merchant refugees they couldnt be too close to the future core of operations of the town. As they walked Ogras asked about the shipyard, and when he heard that they had somehow transformed to look like humans he whistled, lo...
2019-07-08 17:50:15 +0000 UTC View PostCalrin despondently surveyed the various reports strewn about his table. Twenty thousand years of heritage teetered on the brink of destruction, all under his watch. He knew that he was partly to blame for the situation, but others were far more culpable.
Greed is the fuel which push us forward. Honor is the compa...
2019-07-07 16:44:16 +0000 UTC View PostThe clothing consisted of two layers. The inner layer was essentially a long-armed shirt, with the exception that it didnt have any buttons. Instead one side was wrapped above the other, and both sides were fastened with a clasp to stay snugly on his chest. The arms and shoulders had a slightly looser fit, and didn...
2019-07-07 12:42:41 +0000 UTC View PostFrustrated Zac focused on the shop he actually could buy. It was actually just called [F-Grade General Store] with no mention of a faction or company behind it. Confused he turned to Ogras.
I cant buy almost anything in the store, most things are restricted. But there is a shop called F-Grade Genera...
2019-07-07 12:23:04 +0000 UTC View PostThe first week of the new-and-improved Patreon with early access chapters has soon passed. The response has been humbling with an increase of almost 160 new patrons supporting me and the Novel. I'm extremely grateful for the support!
It has made me think more about the future of myself and Defiance of the Fall. If you h...
2019-07-06 04:23:54 +0000 UTC View PostAs Ogras was gone Zac turned his attention to the Nexus Node. It was time to do what he initially had returned to the camp for. He had some rewards to cash in on.
Off With Their Heads (Unique): Kill the four heralds and the general of an incursion within 3 months. Reward: 10 E-Grade Nexus Crystals, E-Grade equip...
2019-07-05 15:30:00 +0000 UTC View PostWHAT?! Zac immediately jumped to his feet with his axe at the ready, afraid he had fallen into some trap of the demons making. He charged up [Chop] to a meter long edge and advanced on Ogras.
Calm down, calm down! Ogras screamed and scrambled out of the chair. The Cosmic Water you have been ...
2019-07-04 18:18:56 +0000 UTC View PostZac sighed and tabled the whole matter. The thought that he had almost died numerous times due to a lie was almost too depressing to handle. Of course, it was thanks to that lie that he pushed himself forward, and now confidently stood at the forefront of humanity.
You said your incursion is only one of many? Do they...
2019-07-03 16:58:43 +0000 UTC View PostAuthor Note: The first "alternate-POV chapter". Thinking doing this kind of in the future for patrons, when I think it would be an interesting chapter to do it on (shocked bystander when Zac starts rampaging like a Godzilla in a human settlement? ;)). This one will be released as a public daily chapter due to its full length ...
2019-07-03 04:59:33 +0000 UTC View PostZac quickly jogged due south, and soon arrived at the part of the valley where the incursion was located. The crystal was still there, but it now looked inert. It had lost its colors, and no longer radiated any power.
The area seemed deserted as well, so Zac snuck up to the small house, finding it empty as well. ...
2019-07-03 04:53:03 +0000 UTC View PostWith a spring in his steps he hadnt felt for a long time Zac moved along the road toward the location of the incursion. He was planning on heading back to his camp site to complete his quest, but first he wanted to check things out and make sure that the demons were truly gone.
He moved along the path leading to the f...
2019-07-02 16:40:52 +0000 UTC View PostWith a scream Zac woke up by his head hitting a jutting out rock formation. Groggily he tried to orient himself, and found that he was bobbing about in the azure water in a cave. Afraid that the burning pain would start again, he quickly scrambled up on a piece of dry land.
His body felt surprisingly good after all it h...

I'm thinking of putting up a goal for the big 100. Any ideas? I'm sorry but it wont be another 5 chapters ;) I can't crank out that many ...
2019-07-02 04:43:25 +0000 UTC View PostThe sinister blade that was about to end Zacs life powerlessly fell to the ground as the imposing demon died. Zac mutely stared at the impaled general, unable to comprehend what was going on. The same seemed to be true for the hundreds of demons who watched the betrayal. They stared blankly at the scene until they were awok...
2019-07-01 19:55:47 +0000 UTC View PostZac brought out his second axe from his pouch, nervously glancing around. His plan had been to kill the herald as well, but being stared at by hundreds of hungry eyes quickly extinguished any desire to remain.
Zac shot back away from the tree, and started cutting his way out of the packed masses. But how could le...
2019-07-01 16:53:47 +0000 UTC View PostAll chapters for now are uploaded. Another will be added along with the release in a few hours. I will try to fill the last tier with a few extra chapters per week until it reaches 20 early chapters. If something doesn't work as it should give me a shout here or on discord.

2019-07-01 15:27:27 +0000 UTC View PostThe ground was barely visible beneath the forces, as blood and bodies covered most of it by now. Even fires had started to erupt at various spots apart from the heralds battle, likely from the attacks of pyromancers. With the dried out tree husks on the ground the whole valley would likely be an inferno of flames in a short...
2019-07-01 13:06:27 +0000 UTC View PostZac Immediately got ready, and while hefting an axe in his hand he finally pushed down the rock wall that blocked the entrance. It made quite a crash, but it was nothing compared to the roars of thousands of monkeys, with demon screams peppered in.
As soon as he got out he was stunned by the mayhem.
It seemed he h...
2019-07-01 12:58:09 +0000 UTC View PostThat fucking monkey! Ogras roared, this time enraged for real. No wonder it had sent its underlings to keep his search parties out of the peaks. He had thought it was just posturing that hed allow for some time before setting monkeys straight. But Cindermane had likely found the Tree of Ascension long ago and jus...
2019-07-01 11:00:29 +0000 UTC View PostThe world was shaking nauseatingly and an incessant ringing filled Zacs ears. He shakily got to his feet, but immediately fell down again. His state had already been pretty bad, but the last blast completely messed him over. His new dress had used the golden protection just a few hours ago, making it unusable for another da...
2019-07-01 10:51:53 +0000 UTC View PostZac suddenly remembered hearing a snapping sound when he used the shield against the imp Herald. He had no idea how to fix the inscriptions, and could only reluctantly put the armor into his bag. He didnt want to risk damaging it further until he could fix it, as it had been a great life-saving tool so far.
He then br...
2019-07-01 10:38:13 +0000 UTC View PostZac spoke to the salamanders with the same voice he used to chat with his old neighbors dog. While he felt that fighting three salamanders wouldnt be an impossible feat, he didnt want to move closer to another level unless he needed to. Besides, the lizards were doing his work for him, and he didnt want to clash with ...
2019-07-01 09:50:48 +0000 UTC View PostZac wished he had a mirror to more sneakily look around the corners, but could only work with what he got. He rubbed some dirt in his face and singed scalp to cover his skin and then wired some of the vines around his neck and head. Somewhat satisfied with his camouflage, and peeked around a corner, mostly hidden behin...
