30-12 Hidden Bonds
I can still feel you. Still feel all you twitching inside me. Feels kinda nice to be honest. Fuck me, consangs. Ain’t life a motherfuck. Here you were, living your nice little Guilder lives, enjoying “forever” and watching the war far from your doorstep, and now, suddenly, you’re part of me. No hint. No warning. Just here and then lost. Swallowed by the big ol’ cunt that is my Heaven.Heh...

II-5 Shell of Masteries (I)
What do you imagine the shape of your soul to take? What do you think your spirit resembles? I can give you an answer.Your spirit is rawness at first. Just a shape—jagged with points toward different inclinations. Then life shears away at its edges, molding it into a proper form, your decisions honing it further, leading you toward masterpiece or ruin. For all that we master, all that we achieve...

II-3 Cherub’s Corpse
The Cherub’s Corpse is one of the few decent places you can go if you down want to live in a den under Circle control. Sure, there are your usual issues such as skin-stealing horrors hiding in the vents, malformed monsters waiting to ambush you in the darkness, and those greedy Crossroad merchants screwing you out of your last Sin, but as a whole, it really isn’t that bad of a place.Running so...
II-2 A Glimpse of the City
680 trillion is a large number, almost unfathomable to most people, but ultimately it is quite paltry for the Claimed Hells, considering it is a set of ringworlds collapsed over each other.This, however, had its own reasons. Mepheleon’s naturalization process was sophisticated and cruel, ensuring that only a certain type of character made it in.The higher layers were mostly dedicated to designin...

30-10 Post-Heaven Clarity
“So…”“No, Zein—why must everything be turned into a blade? What purpose does it serve?”“The idea of beheading someone when they fall in love or get intimate amuses me. It will serve as a sublime assassination method as well Imagine—”“I can imagine that, dearest, and it sounds horrible. This, I expect from the Infacer, not you. There’s no duel in this.”“Yes. But it’s amu...

And so it is that love found its newest vassal, himself a mirrored shadow to this city, a perfect, unworthy vessel. Chosen by the Dreamer, blessed with debauched lust and virtuous love, within him burgeons power beyond gods below and mortals above.Yet what path he takes, what shape will he bestow upon this city, driven mad with want and ruin from old? No path is clear, the future uncertain, for st...
30-8 Feeling Good
Correspondence. Such a strange Domain to study. Some novitiate Agnosi liken it to the Domain of Spaces—and of course they would. That is the way its patterns seem to work on the surface, anyhow. The defiance of distance is commonly understood to belong to only a few Domains. Of course, Borders, Geometry, and Boundaries can all be included as well due to varying cultural understandings, but as Ka...

Brief Update
TTF's first volume is coming to a close. Overall, my first attempt at a litrpg hasn't really become an on-market story (which was the original intention), so there I'll probably have to make more adjustments for my next attempt. Presently, I am trying to adjust my schedule despite workload spikes so that I can get more chapters written out for both Godclads and TTF. Book 3 of clads ha...

Hearts Aligned: Creates a pathway using a tether composed by feelings of love or lust. A gateway will form on both entities allowing them to swap places or immediately arrive beside their bonded one. Should both sides consent—or if this relates to an individual and an inanimate object—a superimposition of ontologies can follow, allowing both to temporarily merge in a single entity in mind and ...
