Chapter Delay

So sorry! I've been feeling a bit run down lately and have decided to take the week off of posting. It started Friday, but I was so sure I could just overcome it! That it would be fine. But honestly, I need a bit of a moment. See you Monday!!!!

A Burned Heart Delay to the 6th

EDIT: also I was a DOUBLE fool because I underestimated how tired a book festival I vended at was going to make me 🤡 I’ll get out at least one chapter tomorrow I was a fool and let my laptop die without knowing where my charger is. This, please expect a double release on Sunday to catch us up from last week and get us to 20 ahead ♥️-Your elusive author who is desperate for sleep

A/N: I am perfectly on time, thank you very much!!! Pls enjoy!!!Interlude OneFestival of the SunFall of Summer, Week 5, Day 8Fellan was lit up like midday, the lack of suns no concern for the priests and priestesses working the festival. Revel was casting her greenish glow from behind the clouds, though it was barely a tint over the darkness of night. Lining the streets of Fellan were hundreds upon hundreds of freshly cast magelights—half in yellow and half in red.The equal ratio was a part of it all, a homage to the sacrifice both Goddesses ...

But enjoyyyyyyyChapter One Hundred Thirty-EightA Missing PieceFall of Summer, Week 5, Day 7“It’s been a season since they’ve heard from her, you know,” Effy said lightly, as if they were talking about the weather.Nora sipped her cloudgazer tea and watched as the rain fell back into her cup. “I wonder what happened.”“Do you?” Effy’s eyes glinted, and Nora felt she’d fallen into a trap. “You could always ask, you know.”“I could,” Nora agreed easily. “But some things are better left unknow...

His appearance was betrayed by the fact that the weather was still too cool to allow for shorts. Thus, he was in a burnt orange jacket and pants, with shining embroidery that sparkl...

A/N: This interlud is short, don't be mad at meInterlude SevenMercurial WavesRise of Winter, Week 5, Day 7In a vast darkness, there hovered nothing. Not a breath was taken, nor a heartbeat to be heard. Yet, still. Something found itself alive. Much like the gods of old, it sprang forth from the aether. The marriage of possibility and magic made manifest.Into existence sprang a golden box, one of dozens that filled the darkness—each circling an empty space.[Congratulations! A Challenger has bested the First Floor — The Starlight Bakery. ...

A/n: Omg launch has been awesome, let's keep it up!!!!Chapter One Hundred Thirty-FourThe Queen of the AbyssFall of Winter, Week 4, Day 8Noir, Shade, and Haze circled Nora. Around the four of them, the light of midday was dimmed by the other spirits creating a dome of impassable darkness. Nora had done a simple braid that day, without her usual jewels, in preparation for Cthari’s appearance.The Queen of the Abyss had pushed Nora to the brink of mana exhaustion many times—before finally teaching her how to refill and withdraw mana from th...

Across from the girl sat High Priestess Ophelia, or Effy, for short.There were no fires within Effy’s office, no monstrosity of brick and mortar that produced heat. None...

My clothes were wrinkled and left marks across my skin from the way I had slept. But the warmth of the blankets had kept me asleep even as the sunlight tickled my eyes and the chill of the soon-to-be winter air nipped at my nose.It was late in the morning when there was a light knock on the clock tower’s do...

Now was the time for rest, the time for recovery. As Sir Limrick laid me down within what must have been the carriage, I could feel the soft cushion hit my face. Then, I was out—my mana fatigue draining the energy that the adrenaline had given me.As sleep consumed me, I dreamt. Not of metal cities or lost loved ones. Not of times better left forgotten or ghosts of my past.I dreamt of the...

A/N: Once again, I'm late lmao. But it's here!!!Chapter Forty-SixThe Power of a Good PunchRise of Winter, Week 5, Day 7In the end, Freddie received no answers. No matter how intensely she examined the System Notice, she couldn’t parse the difference between stowed experience and general experience, or why her Status had frozen at Level 12 99.99% until the boss fight. None of her lessons had gone over the intricate workings of Dungeons, and Tiltham hadn’t said anything regarding experience application in the brief moments she’d spe...

A/N: EHEHEHHEEH Here we goooooooooooo!!!!Chapter Forty-FiveSpoils of WarRise of Winter, Week 5, Day 6Freddie had no interest in any of the traits the Lesser Mana Pearl possessed—except for maybe Perception. Darkness was an elemental trait, which could muddle her current affinity for flame. She, simply put, wasn’t willing to risk that. Freddie loved the heat of her fire, the way her mana felt like magma bursting from her skin.And the rest—cruelty, anathema, and blood—just spelled disaster. If absorbing any of the mana pearls meant gainin...
