The trip back to Site 1102 was a solemn affair. No one was happy about how the meeting went, even if we technically achieved all of the goals that I had wanted. The issue with Q didn’t sit well with any of us, and Xalla looked especially concerned about Q’s future.
“Well,” Big Bob said as we neared our destinati...
2024-02-04 17:05:49 +0000 UTC View Post“I would have to kindly decline,” I answered calmly, keeping my voice and tone neutral.
“Did you not hear me, Arbiter W?” the Overseer asked in puzzlement, “I said that this was not a request. You do not have the option to decline my command.”
“I heard you,” I answered, “And I will repea...
2024-02-03 19:40:46 +0000 UTC View PostXalla didn’t want to leave Walter’s presence as the attendants came to finally take them to the Tribunal. It had always felt calm whenever he was by her side, and just feeling his skin on hers made her feel safe and comfortable. If only she wasn’t here on official business!
Still, now that she had finished hearing...
2024-02-02 20:37:01 +0000 UTC View Post“Xalla, oh disciple of mine,” Rogue began as we all stepped off the platform, “You know that it’s just the four of us here. You don’t have to be so formal, we’re all friends.”
“Unlike someone I know, Lord General,” Xalla replied sternly, “I do not slack off when I am assigned official duties...
2024-02-01 17:00:17 +0000 UTC View PostWhen Big Bob said that Central went all out, he really meant it. Even Xalla, still trying her best to appear professional given her new assignment, couldn’t help gawking every now and then.
For one, an entire ensemble of butlers took the four of us to a private loading platform and escorted us into the most luxurious ...
2024-01-31 17:34:52 +0000 UTC View PostI sighed. Well, there goes any chance I had for rest. How was I supposed to ever get any when I had to do tasks for both Q and the Regressor? One side believed that I could casually destroy planets just by breathing, while the other thought I was getting adequate rest, so it wasn’t like I can just excuse myself to sleep for...
2024-01-30 21:39:11 +0000 UTC View PostNoel and Vadeem grinned, the dim lighting in the room creating quite the fighting scene. I felt a little out of place, like I had just interrupted a secret meeting between mafia heads, but didn’t let it show. Let’s see what the Regressor had to say first.
“I’m sure that the three of you know that running any org...
2024-01-29 17:35:14 +0000 UTC View PostHello everyone, I just finalized all the Tiers for this Patreon, including the new $10/month one for anyone who would like to support me further. The only extra benefit there would be the option to read beta chapters (DM me on discord (Tismon) if you're interested and joined).
The $6 tier will remain...
2024-01-29 03:15:54 +0000 UTC View PostA loud burp broke the tranquil atmosphere and signaled the end of our meal.
“Oh, that was good!” Vadeem boomed, “Eating nothing but the same suitcase food for all those months has taken its toll on me!”
“Speaking about your food suitcase,” I added, “Isn’t it getting a bit empty at this point?” 2024-01-28 17:42:57 +0000 UTC View Post
The place the Regressor led us to was a homely establishment situated in a little nook on the outskirts of Pandora. We were away from the strange cityscape and back in the quaint village-esque part of the town, and I could probably never get used to the strange dichotomy of the two aesthetics.
We were the only ones in t...
2024-01-27 16:35:13 +0000 UTC View Post“I can help you with that,” the receptionist answered with a practiced smile, “And as the first party to create a guild, you will receive a 95% discount on registration fees and essential purchases!”
Was this why the Regressor wanted to hurry so fast? It’s a nice incentive, but we were way, way ahead of everyo...
2024-01-26 17:05:48 +0000 UTC View Post“Wait, what’s going on?” I asked as I scrambled to my feet, “Are we in danger?”
As if an invisible signal was sent, Noel quickly pulled out her swords and Vadeem took a fighting stance. Sensing the strange situation, Ana and Eva quickly jumped on either side of Vadeem and notched an arrow. The only one still r...
2024-01-25 16:37:46 +0000 UTC View PostCongratulations, Aspirants, for successfully completing the second Trial. Welcome to the Main Stage.
We do not forget.
I fell on my butt and almost kissed the grass underneath my feet. We actually succeeded in that crazy plan. And better yet, Noe was back. Oh my lovely, awesome, amazing voice in my head, ...
2024-01-24 17:13:22 +0000 UTC View PostPatar knelt by the entrance of the Temple of the Eternal Flame, now renamed the Temple of Devouring Truth after their new deity, on that day when Light returned. Although the God had gone, their faith had remained.
It would be an event celebrated through the eons on that planet, a legend told throughout the generations,...
2024-01-23 19:17:25 +0000 UTC View PostHello, Tismon here! I just wanted to thank everyone here for all the support you've shown me since the launch of my Patreon. I never thought so many people would be willing to chip in on Walter's little adventures!
Volume 1 is complete at just over 100k words, and there'll just be an Epilogue out tomorrow. Then it...
2024-01-22 19:16:26 +0000 UTC View PostThe Regressor made sure that all of us were ready, and he kicked the door open. I wasn’t sure what to expect, but I took a deep breath and sprinted in with him, with Noel hot on my tentacles. Just a little more to go and we can get out of here, I’ll have my best buddy Noe back to normal, maybe take a nap out in the sun fo...
2024-01-22 19:02:21 +0000 UTC View PostWell, Vadeem certainly got his wish and then some. The entrance we came from slammed shut behind us, and if it was just the hulking golem that took up at least half the floorspace being the problem, the situation would have still been manageable. Too bad he decided to bring some friends as well.
Little holes in t...
2024-01-21 17:51:46 +0000 UTC View PostThings calmed down a little after all of the introductions and explanations were over. It took a long time just to recount the major things that happened on our side, although it appeared that Jae-Hyun and the others had just as hard of a time as we did.
Unfortunately, both sides had to leave out most of the details sin...
2024-01-20 23:50:57 +0000 UTC View PostThe figure standing, or more accurately massacring, all of the Origin minions was Noel? I guess if I looked closer, I could see that familiar frizzy hair, but between the black flames that consumed her, the two blood-red orbs where her eyes were, and the goddamn wings of oily, burning tar on her back, it certainly could have ...
2024-01-19 15:59:55 +0000 UTC View PostWe were starting to get quickly bogged down by the mass of bodies. I impaled and swatted aside as many as I could, but soon my feelers were getting caught on dead bodies and reaching hands. I could lift and cut through 4, 5, maybe even 6 bodies at once, but when those numbers started to enter the 20’s and 30’s? My stats w...
2024-01-19 00:18:42 +0000 UTC View PostVadeem still looked dubious when I explained the sponsorship and my subsequent ability to transform but didn’t question it too much. I think he was starting to become desensitized to all the nonsense he was witnessing. It was clear that he wanted to ask more, but I told him that Jae-Hyun could explain all that extra crap wh...
2024-01-17 16:50:11 +0000 UTC View PostDamn it, just when one thing’s going my way something else has to come along and ruin it all. I doubt I could say no to an official summons from this mysterious Central, and I was also bound to meet up with people who knew the original Arbiter W. And on top of it all, I had to use up another one of my precious Soul Title Pr...
2024-01-16 23:42:28 +0000 UTC View PostHello everyone, just wanted to let you know that I have set up a discord for this project of mine. It's there if you're interested in chatting with fellow webnovel lovers, discuss what you're reading right now, what games you're playing, or just hang out with me and fellow readers.

2024-01-16 16:37:05 +0000 UTC View PostI saw the arrow approach in minute detail, its deadly point reaching ever closer to my face, but that all changed when my Luck Charges took that huge dip. My perception was still slowed down from my perceived demise and I saw that the arrow started to degrade and break apart as it inched closer. It was as if the wood and meta...
2024-01-16 15:59:29 +0000 UTC View PostThe group of 500 or so fighters that accompanied us into the uncharted forest depths was dispatched into smaller groups of 10, as having such a huge amount of people trying to pass through dense foliage was impractical, not to mention dangerous. Vadeem and I were in the lead group, along with the twins and Patar’s chosen el...
2024-01-15 15:50:10 +0000 UTC View PostThe final preparations were taking place before we began the next part of our journey, and I was left with nothing to do once again. It allowed me some time to review the events of the last few days. First of all, our convoy had grown to numbers that hadn’t been seen in this world for decades, and the size of the group had ...
2024-01-15 02:24:59 +0000 UTC View Post“Oh holy Light Bringer!” Patar greeted me with reverence, “The village has accepted your call to arms and are willing to listen to your sermon. Please show them the Light and the Truth!”
I nodded as I put on the most dignified air that I could, and followed Patar and the guards towards the other village. I had c...
2024-01-14 01:25:58 +0000 UTC View PostThe next portion of the march towards the nearest settlement was uneventful. Vadeem had remained unharmed in the assault, and I had distributed some of our precious healing salves on the most wounded amongst the convoy. They deserved that much for suffering due to my mistake. My halo alleviated the pain of those who only sust...
2024-01-12 23:08:42 +0000 UTC View PostChapter 38:
I dashed through the fearful crowd of faithful and entered the frontlines. It felt so good to stretch my legs after sitting on that uncomfortable platform. The creatures shrieked in fear and pain as I approached.
I frowned in disappointment as most of the Stalkers fell before I c...
2024-01-12 17:18:15 +0000 UTC View PostThe villagers, who numbered 552 after the final head count, left in a convoy shortly after my meeting with Patar. The number might seem relatively impressive if not for the fact that only 200 or so individuals were in any shape for combat. Most of the others were infirm in one way or another or were too young to do much more ...
