The shining Sector where only the wealthiest were allowed to live. Coin circulated through the streets like blood. Families and businesses with high purchasing power were considered kings amongst the less fortunate that shared the same cities.
It was a divisive Sector where walls divided the rich from the poor into various distri...
2024-01-23 09:06:55 +0000 UTC View PostThe Still Unborn was only the prelude for the things to come. They were the abstract tip of the Corrupted iceburg. That is if they were Corrupted to begin with.

2024-01-22 19:04:04 +0000 UTC View PostOne hour was more than enough time for Frost and Jury to enjoy themselves before the fireworks. Brigades of pyrotechnics wearing the uniforms of various Academies made final checks. The Academies and renowned figureheads outside of Inflow Direct were in charge of everything, which Frost figured was probably the reason why it felt so…

Her skirt suddenly seized around her ankles. They were far too restrictive to allow long strides. She could have easily torn it apart with the smallest effort, so she did everything in her powe...
2024-01-21 03:37:28 +0000 UTC View PostTonight was the night.
The Floor of Amalgamation fell into a cozy lull. Nearly all its denizens attended the festival within the Common Hub. It was comforting and oddly nostalgic. It hadn’t been that long since the Floor of Amalgamation was opened. Yet it felt like it had been years since it was this vacant.
A befuddled sigh left t...

Stalls were set up within the Nexus for the first time since the Blessed were welcomed into its heights. With the approval of the Head and the endorsement of the Moons and Stars, the Blessed were allowed to celebrate the coming end of the year.

2024-01-17 02:16:48 +0000 UTC View PostSomething unordinary strode with purpose. Deep within the recesses of H5 was a being dressed in a coat of black feathers. The dilapidated streets were devoid of all life after the recent evacuations.

2024-01-15 02:20:16 +0000 UTC View PostTwo months ago, Ignis received the power to create organic material. Since then, Frost had used her spare time to teach her everything she knew of the human body to facilitate her knowledge.
While Skills could not be increased by knowledge alone and had to progress through practical experience – it was wisdom that increased one’s bread...
2024-01-15 02:19:26 +0000 UTC View PostArrangements for 351 PA were now in order. With less than five days left the Nexus entered a state of hidden pandemonium. The Sacral Appraisers of Justica Arms worked grueling hours tending to the crystals that grew within the expansive Middle Sanctums.
The Moons of the Nexus were guided by Stars to become familiar with the interior of the...

This must be the old world. I’m starting to think that all of the pre-Awakened Floors are going to be like this. Starting from the past until it becomes the present.”
“With the sole except...

The clopping of her leather soles was the only sound that echoed here. Even the patters of the Star Child and the Sleepy Frost were silenced as if they were incapable of making noise.

Gaping cavities that were once filled with large pieces of Genesis Stone riddled the walls like the honeycomb structure of a...
2024-01-04 02:11:13 +0000 UTC View PostThe light was a red herring. Only more lava existed in the chamber beyond the obsidian corridor. It cascaded down from pores in the walls like tears, plopping into a stream that cascaded around the rims of the cavern.
Hardened obsidian sludge spread itself unevenly. It yielded as the Rock Bugs scuttled onto it, causing lava to seep through...
