Mythshaper - Chapter 88
Chapter 88: Formal Apology The temple of the goddess sat at the very edge of the valley. Thankfully, it was the opposite side to where the demons werescourging. Since the solstice was approaching and with it the awakening ceremony, the withered chapel had been renovated to a degree which was at least presentable to the people.Mum did not care about that. Before we even landed, I found a few people...
Mythshaper - Chapter 87
Chapter 87: Rescue"Mum! Mum!" I shouted at the top of my lungs, even though she was flying right towards me. "Mum! Father—he's fighting an Ashhound out there! You need to—"Her arms caught me in an embrace before pulling me up to her eye level. "You're fine!" Her gleaming golden eyes examined me thoroughly, turning me over, as though nothing else mattered in the ...
Mythshaper - Chapter 86
Chapter 86: Nascent Demon HunterSizzling vital essence rushed through my veins, uplifting me, but most significantly, it restored my depleated Will and essence. My exhaustion was largely burned away, the strain buried by the flood of intoxicating power searing through me. But all that was merely an aftereffect of the empowerment.I was certain if I could get even a minute to sit down, to unify the ...
Mythshaper - Chapter 85
A/N: Sorry about the delay. This had been a bastard chapter to write. I may have used the words, Horrid and Foul, an unhealthy number of times. I'm still very satisfied with how it turned out.==========Chapter 85: Demon HuntingThe forcefield barely cushioned the blow. We crashed so hard that we bounced up a couple of feet before falling back into the cruel embrace of the earth. Eran was tossed...
Mythshaper - Chapter 84
Chapter 84: Way HomeBefore I knew it, Father stood before us like a wall, the unsheathed blade ready in his palms."Stay behind me," he commanded, and then his figure vanished from our side.My eyes shifted to follow him, when the very foremost devourer's head fell to the ground, murky blood spraying a metre up from its severed neck. The weakest of these ghoulish demons were as strong as...
Mythshaper - Chapter 83
Chapter 83: What Lurks in the DarkIt was usually snowy in Karmel Valley during winter, but this year there had hardly been any proper snowfall. If only that had made the weather a little warmer. No, the wind was still bone-chilling, biting through the thick clothes, harassing us throughout our ascent.Without the white covering, the climb was at least easier. I peered towards the mountains ahead, s...
Mythshaper - Chapter 82
Chapter 82: Sword SenseThe more I practised the Forcefield formation, the greater my amazement grew at the formation engraved in the [Band of Protection]. Its defence was even stronger, almost impenetrable by anyone below the Fabled class. However, what was even more astounding was its essence efficiency compared to the Stormguard set.My bracelet could run twice as long with the same essence suppl...
Mythshaper - Chapter 81
Chapter 81: StrainThe training Father was putting me under not only demanded peak physical performance, but it also drained my mental energy unreasonably. To the point that I felt a noticeable decline in my other tasks, especially when I worked on the Stormguard set for Aleya and Priam.The set was mostly functional now; Aleya could fly around wearing it with a bit of practice. Setting the levitati...
Mythshaper - Chapter 80
Chapter 80: New Sparring PartnersThe merit list was posted the very next day after the written exam ended. To no one's surprise, I claimed the top spot with a score of 12.7 out of 10.At first, I thought it was a mistake, that it was ridiculous to receive more points than the evaluation allowed. But apparently, it wasn’t the case. Once a student outperforms the tests, they show it by awarding...
Mythshaper - Chapter 79
Chapter 79: True SwordsmanAfter a couple of hours of rest, the weakness in my muscles faded away. I planned to continue my weaving practice, implementing the eight additional threads to get accustomed to them. But Mum insisted I take a rest for the remainder of the day.I could only comply. The sky was already dark, the sun having set hours ago. By the time I was done writing this week’s journal,...
Mythshaper - Chapter 78
Chapter 78: PatricianI lurched up in alarm. My chest heaved in unrest, head too foggy to recognise the shift in my surroundings. Through blurry eyes, I saw the familiar slanted ceiling, wooden beams supporting the roof of my room. I was rested on my bed, feeling a deep-rooted fatigue in my muscles. Even moving took an effort I’d rather not invest.[Congratulations! Way of Arcane Resistance IV (10...
Mythshaper - Chapter 77
A/N: A bit longer chapter, much to my depression and adding to my sleep deprivation. I wonder why it takes me 2 hours to edit a chapter when all the authors I have talked to barely needed half an hour. I do add 10-20% words, but that shouldn't take me that long... Skill issue, probably...This chapter was fun.===================Chapter 77: Raging EnduranceHeadmaster Larius only called students ...
Mythshaper - Chapter 76
Chapter 76: DemonstrationDespite coming down, I did not cease using the levitation boots in the duel, much to Priam's dismay.Although I wasn't as good at utilising the boots on the ground as I was in the air, I had improved tremendously under Father's tutelage over the last few weeks. The main problem was that the boots were not made for running on the ground. It didn’t help that I h...
Mythshaper - Chapter 75
A/N: Arilyn is currently 9 in Earth years, while Eran, Priam being around 10-11... I plan on making them all age two or three years more in the edit, just so that it would make more sense. That is the only drastic change I'll be making. Additionally, there may be a couple of new chapters added somewhere in between the stories and some changes to the system dynamics, nothing that would affect y...
Mythshaper - Chapters 73 & 74
Chapter 73: Influential ArtifactThe new piece had similar enchantments to the painting I made for Mum, but instead of Mental Rehabilitation, the painting of the elven woman, Veiled Dream, seemed to confuse the observer within its illusions. Although its power was weak, barely keeping a low-class Awakened imprisoned for a few minutes, it baffled me how this enchantment came to be.Mum’s words came...
Mythshaper - Chapter 72
Chapter 72: Veiled Dream“I hope you have recovered well enough to carry out my request,” said Dreamweaver Prisca as she crept into our house.“I’ve been well for a long time, Magister,” Mum answered. “As for the matter you are worried about, as long as you can provide what I need, you have nothing to worry.”A girl, perhaps only a few seasons older than me, trailed behind, her fingers ...
Mythshaper - Chapter 71
Chapter 71: HomeboundThe fall announced its arrival with an unrelenting ashen storm that lasted for weeks. The institution had to be dismissed. Even the most common folks’ livelihoods were hampered. The biggest dilemma I faced, however, was the inability to use my levitation boots.The ashen storm did fall back now and then, but those were merely intervals, not a true conclusion.Honestly, I didn...
Mythshaper - Chapter 70
Chapter 70: Bare Minimum Shaping SkillMy daily routine had changed drastically in the last few days. For one thing, flying was taking me around an hour every day—not that I called any of it a waste. On the contrary, I was using it everywhere to save time. Walking to the institution used to take me half an hour at a normal pace, but with the levitation boots at full acceleration, it was only a ma...
Mythshaper - Chapter 69
Chapter 69: LevitatingMy levitation boots were almost complete. It had taken more than a week, and a great deal of help from Mum—mostly because I had no experience in crafting shoes. Their build wasn’t entirely like alloyed combat boots. I had used high-reinforced leathers, referencing Mum’s old designs.As it turned out, studying her old designs not only solved most of the problems I was fac...
Mythshaper - Chapter 67 and 68
Chapter 67: Aura ResonanceThe returning flight was much more tame compared to the shocking speed at which Mum had driven us on the way here, allowing us to appreciate the full thrill of flying. Despite flying being one of my long-time goals, a part of me couldn’t wait for it to finish. The duel had formed too many questions I couldn't wait to ask Father.The way his aura manipulated the eleme...
Mythahper - Chapter 65 & 66
A/N: The next chapter is a bit longer... I'll probably continue to release in bulk of two or three chapters, unless you guys say otherwise... Chapter 65: Fabled Class DuelGetting Mum’s approval, Magus Selene flew off towards the western mountains like a streak of an arrow, unconcerned whether the one she challenged would follow or not.Father exercised his knuckles and rested his palm over t...
Mythshaper - Chapter 62, 63, and 64
A/N: Sorry for the delay... Lost a lot of patrons these days, but I can only blame myself. I'll deliver all the chapters I owe as soon as I can.________Chapter 62: Crude AttacksBefore the two instructors clashed, I yanked Diana and another kid nearby to withdraw towards the institution building."Everyone, get back!"The cheers stopped as soon as I cried, but it wasn’t my warning that ...
Mythshaper - Chapters 60 and 61
A/N: Sorry about the delay, there was a bit of a hiccup. The next release will come in a bulk._________Chapter 60: Duel Immunis Lucien hesitated on his way out, when Mum called after him,“Not you. Sit down.”The Immunis froze on the spot, while Mum rested on the couch after a thorough check on me. Finding nothing amiss, her gaze shifted to Lucien once more.Lucien swallowed his breath and, like ...
Mythshaper - Chapter 59
Chapter 59: Arrogant PrickAs I entered our courtyard, the wagon had already settled in, with a familiar face unloading boxes of materials from it. From the look of it, they seemed to have brought almost double the articles compared to last time, almost enough to last a season if we went about them in a relaxed manner.While subcontracting the works to rural regions was a cheaper option compared to ...
Patreon Pause [Not a Hiatus notice]
TLDR:1. Pausing billing in Patreon because I feel bad about charging without releasing the last few days.2. Chapters will still be updated, albeit at a slower rate...Longer Version:Hey guys,Sorry for the lack of updates. For the last few days, I haven’t been able to work properly. I’m not sure if it’s a story issue or a mental health problem, but the inability to deliver chapters has only ad...
Mythshaper - Chpater 58
Chapter 58: A WayLike most skills, the secret to playing the violin becomes heavily evident once I get my groove on it. It was the oldest trick of all. Practice. Master Kaius, with whom I had a couple of musical sessions, said the same thing. There was no alternative to practice in the way of mastery.Even when it came to music or playing a musical instrument, talent might have its place, but even ...
Mythshaper - Chapter 57
Sorry for the delay. It required a bit of rewriting and now had become the longest chapter, though not by a long shot, about 3.3k words.________Chapter 57: Somnus' ReverieWith the Praetorian office only a few blocks away, Ashlyn wasted no time heading there to draw up the legal contract. It took a bit of time, considering how busy the offices usually were. Thankfully, she managed to complete i...
Mythshaper - Chapter 56
Chapter 56: Fractal SoulAshlynArilyn jolted awake with a shrill cry, his body jerking upright. Quickly, Ashlyn dropped to her knees next to him and caught him before he could collapse back.Her son’s heart pounded, the thumping too loud in her ears. Still catching his breath, he forced himself to stand, acting as if it was nothing, perhaps to reassure her. Even though he barely showed any outward...
Mythshaper - Chapter 55
Chapter 55: IshtarThe world was really a small place, it seemed, at least for those who had lived long enough.The Dreamweaver looked even older than Master Kaius. That was perhaps convincing enough for the hundred winters she had experienced, though the years of toil had not yet managed to bend her back. Her face was wrinkled, her head full of grey hair, neatly combed and let loose over her should...
