Vol 11 Patreon Special: Early Truth

A/N: In this extra chapter, Arthur purposefully explores an alternative possible timeline in which he meets Cecilia only shortly after she is reincarnated. The intent of this sequence was to show Arthur being more purposeful in his use and navigation of the keystone before gaining the ability to freely manipulate it, as well as to help establish the experiences that led to Arthur’s eventual deci...

Edit 7/19: Clarified that the last chapter of Volume 11 is the epilogue, not Ch. 480.Hi there!I wanted to give you a quick update regarding the novel’s planned return date for both Patreon and Tapas.

Volume 11: Epilogue

CECILIA SEVERThe smell of smoke sent alarm bells ringing through my mind, and I dropped the bundle of woolen yarn I was fiddling with before hurrying toward the kitchen. My hip caught the edge of the side table and I turned too late to catch the lamp, which pitched over sideways and cracked against the uneven floor boards.Heaving a sigh, I resolved to do what I could for the lamp afterI rescued th...

Chapter 480: Providence

ARTHUR LEYWINThrough the cacophony of indistinguishable sounds, I heard a muffled voice.“Kill her.”“No.”A bright blur in the heart of darkness. The bitter backdrop for the echoes of ten thousand splintered aspects of a mind pushed beyond the edge of capability, of sanity.Against the back of my closed eyelids, aether seeped like blood from the pores between worlds. Interposed over this imag...

Patreon Break after Book 11

Hi everyone!Volume 11 is coming to end this Friday (PST) and with that, I will be taking a break from May 31 until June 28. During this period, there will be no regular Friday updates on Patreon. However, we will have some extra content here and there and I’ll be using this time to revisit Volume 11 to make edits before handing it off to be proofread. I’ll also be planning for Volume 12 and tr...

Chapter 479: One Last Word

CECILIAThe sound of Agrona’s quick, confident steps blocked out all other noise in the halls of Taegrin Caelum. My own stride felt dragged along, timid even, as I floundered in his wake. At my side, Nico walked blindly, his eyes on me, not paying attention to where his steps fell. Twice, he stumbled on an unexpected stair, but still, his eyes pressed into the side of my face like two iron pokers...

I flinched back from the mental contact as if she’d struck me. After everything, that’s all you have to say? Why bind me to a promise if you’re not going to call it due?

Chapter 478: Horizon’s Edge

ARTHUR LEYWINDespite having no visible eyes, the knotwork face of the golden, glowing being stared into me, right down to my bones. My own mind seemed blank, destitute of intention or conscious thought. I could feel the golden threads knitting their way through my mind and memories, my past, present, and future. The sensation terrified me on an existential level.“Who are you?” My voice was hol...

Chapter 477: Ascension

ARTHUR LEYWINIt all made sense now. For whatever reason, Tess was the vessel for Cecilia. Maybe it was because of our relationship in this world, which had to create the bridge, but that didn’t matter.If both Nico and I became this strong after reincarnating into this world, how strong would Cecilia—the “Legacy”—be if she reincarnated into Tess’s body?The distant echoes of my thoughts ...

Chapter 476: Ji-ae

TESSIA ERALITHAs the portal swallowed us, my last thought was of disappointment. For a moment, it had felt so good to see Arthur, but that feeling crumbled with the stone structure of his golem’s body.Space and time inverted, stretched out and flipped upside down by the portal as it dragged us away, and then…And then I was surrounded by nothing. Absolutely nothing. Emptiness in every direction...

Chapter 475: Transcendence

ARTHUR LEYWIN“I think he’s sick,” my mother said, rocking me back and forth in her arms. “He’s not eating, Reynolds, and he hasn’t made a peep all day.”My father moved to stand at Mom’s side. He stared down at me nervously. “I can send for the doctor?” He made the statement a question, his voice rising along with his brows as he regarded my mother, uncertain.Mom’s brows, on t...

Chapter 473: Beckoning Fates

My infant years passed by unattended, my life happening on a kind of autopilot as my mind focused on the problem of the keystone and my missing companions.In this alternative reality presented by the keystone, even small changes seemed to snowball into an entirely new life that I had to live. But as the simulated life got further from reality—or perhaps, as the person I grew into inside the keys...

Chapter 472: Reckoning

ARTHUR LEYWINNico looked at me and gave a mischievous smirk. “There’s going to be a new one today. Another girl. Draneeve let it slip this morning.”I only shook my head as I proceeded with my stretches to prepare.“I hope she’s as cute as that Maylis girl.” Nico watched me eagerly, knowing that talking about this stuff always made me blush. I tried to hide it but still felt the heat cre...

Chapter 471: Falling into Place

CECILIAEverything was falling into place.With shield generators keeping the dragons at bay, the Instillers were able to work freely and establish a ring of disrupting artifacts that worked to distort and interrupt the rift between Epheotus and Dicathen. While the shield generators protected us from the dragons in Dicathen, these disruption artifacts prevented Indrath from sending support from Ephe...
