Despite his surprise, Reivan maintained his cool and dipped his head lightly in a quick bow—just as any commoner would if their gaze collided with a prince's. And it was a good thing too, because the Argonian prince looked away t...
2025-01-02 12:44:51 +0000 UTC View PostIf Reivan was being honest, the smell inside the pink tent got to him before the visual shock did.
Even he couldn't deny that he was a bit of a degenerate who liked indulging in the pleasures of the flesh. That's why despite him not wanting to, he was familiar with how his own semen smelled. And even the "fresh" stuff smelled obnoxiously awful to him. Despite his lovers' apparent lack of aversion to it, the smell of his own jizz caused him to gag—which, when he thought about it, might...

Reivan and the forces of Samsara continued their frequent assaults for three days, yet the empire's massive army continued its much slower advance southward.
Despite the relative success they found on the first day, the empire wasn't led by fools and as such, naturally came up with countermeasures. Or rather, they util...
2024-12-26 09:09:47 +0000 UTC View PostThe attack started without warning.
No fanfare, no arrogant bastard declaring the beginning of hostilities, and no surrenders were solicited.
Suddenly, dozens of tents were sent flying by powerful gusts of winds in the dead of night. Campfires were extinguished as people flew through the air like discarded dolls, all before they landed on the ground with their bodies broken. Some soldiers outside of the initially affected range were killed by weapons or debris coincidentally landi...

Happy holidays, to you all~!
I only just realized that my posting schedule coincidentally means that I will post a chapter on both Christmas and New Years, which is nice.
Anyway, I have safely made it to Japan. It is justifiably freezing in here. But being a tropical boy, I'm just really hyped about looking out the window and seeing a bunch of snow.
Like, there's just so much. Holy crap. It's beau...
2024-12-19 05:50:12 +0000 UTC View PostSomeone once said that just by thinking of something bad happening, you help it become a reality.
Reivan really wanted to find who said that because they might just be right.
'I can't believe I actually found an esper in my fucking city...'
Just as he thought that Lageton was clean, he found an esper on the last gathering he needed to check. There was just one, but that was still one too many by his standards.
Helen, who was standing right next to him as he st...

Even though the uninvited guests from the empire were dealt with rather easily, their mere presence here had very alarming implications.
One was that the empire had reached a point in the invasion where it now felt like it re...
2024-12-12 04:36:24 +0000 UTC View PostJust as Reivan, Helen, and the giant serpent they were riding on passed Lageton's city walls, Reivan realized that it probably wouldn't be a good idea to make his heroic entrance this way.
Zouros had an effect on spirit beasts, after all. One that involved scaring the shit out of them with his mere presence.
That's why when they got close enough, Reivan called Zouros back and shamefully piggybacked on Helen. She could fly on account of her affinity with the [Wind] element, after a...

Reivan's party arrived in Lageton as fast as they expected and without any issues.
The only unsatisfying part was how there wasn't really much fanfare to welcome them—which was somewhat understandable, given how bleak the general situation was. Some of the people either experienced...
2024-12-05 01:30:54 +0000 UTC View PostEnjoying some afternoon tea in one of the palace's many pavilions, Reivan took a sip from his cup as he serenely stared out into the garden where his nieces were playing with Dippy the blob-thing after they grew bored of the strange game they were playing earlier.
The game was something they made up, and it seemed to involve sneaking up on him. They weren't very good at it, of course. But he wasn't going to be a spoilsport, so he naturally let them win by pretending to be distracted by ...
2024-12-02 03:41:27 +0000 UTC View PostIt felt like a long time coming, but the day of the wedding finally arrived.
Unfortunately, Earth's custom of forbidding the groom and the bride from seeing each other before the actual ceremony made it to this one. As such, he woke up at dawn alone, did his morning routine alone, and showered alone.
This morning would probably be the last time that would happen.

As a kingdom of k...
2024-11-28 00:45:30 +0000 UTC View PostWhat Reivan really didn't want to happen was for the people of the republic to somehow blame the darkin for the misfortune that befell their nation.
Naturally, that was a bit farfetched. But people weren't the most rational creatures when they were pressed by hard times like right now. The darkin were primarily composed of charming young women, but they also had very eerie appearances if one focused on their black wings, their ebony hair, crimson eyes, or the fact that they cou...
2024-11-28 00:44:53 +0000 UTC View PostWith his soon-to-be wife's urging, Reivan became more partial to accepting Lady Iselle's request.
"Eh, what's the harm..." Reivan scratched his head as he sized up his supposed opponent. "I guess you're already dressed for a spar, Lady Iselle. That looks good on you, by the way."
Iselle's brows shot up a little before she schooled her expression and smiled demurely. "Thank you. Jiji helped me avoid making a fool of myself by dressing weirdly."
The inner courtyard they were i...
2024-11-25 04:35:36 +0000 UTC View PostTime passed quickly for Reivan after he returned from his short reunion with Elsamina and his first exposure to the republic's tragic state.
The darkin ladies were handled exclusively by his sister, Jiji. She was both a woman and a non-human, so she was one of the royal family members that the darkin could relate to the most. His Uncle Viktor had a very high reputation among the winged ladies too, and by virtue of looking very similar, she got a boost in her affability. Jiji was also ve...

Given the event they had just attended, both Reivan and Elsamina understandably did not feel up to a hot and passionate night.
But that was fine. Cuddling as they fell into the embrace of slumber was a very nice alternative. The warmth they felt from each other's presence was the most pleas...
2024-11-18 06:17:36 +0000 UTC View PostReivan and Elsa shamelessly flirted inside the magitech carriage until they were interrupted by the a knock from the front. They hadn't even noticed it, but the carriage had lurched to a stop at some point, and the driver thankfully reminded them.
"Looks like we're here." Reivan smoothed out his clothes to make sure he was still presentable, even taking out a mirror to check if his disguise was still fine. Even though he could feel that it was, he was still compelled to make su...
2024-11-14 10:34:16 +0000 UTC View PostWhile Reivan's little surprise was a success, he, unfortunately, got kicked out because Elsamina was too embarrassed. The transparency of her clothes was one thing, but she was apparently too soaked with sweat so her reaction wasn't very strange.
'She's been covered in sweat and something else when we really got into it, so I don't see why she needs to be so shy.'
Maybe it had something to do with the cause of the sweat. There was no reason for her to be bashful if he...
2024-11-12 04:24:24 +0000 UTC View Post"Are you sure it's okay?" Reivan raised a brow as he looked at the blonde beauty beside him. "If you're coming just so I'm not alone, you don't have to worry. Zee's always there and I didn't give Dom any spirit dew today, since I wanted him awake just in case."
Gwendolyn shook her head impassively. "There are no issues, Your Highness. It was about time for me to check in on what's happening over in Lageton anyway."
"If you say so, then alright. Let's go."
Not really having a...
2024-11-10 14:07:42 +0000 UTC View PostIt would have been a waste to part ways when fate and chance just happened to bring them together already, so Reivan and Hector chose one of the many private parlors in the palace to kill some time—which eventually transformed into sharing a drink.
Before he left to fulfill his duties in Arkhan, Reivan never liked drinking alcohol. That is, until his little foray as Clover Salwyn made him appreciate the devil's water a little.
Naturally, he wasn't a big fan of hangovers and blac...
2024-11-07 11:52:42 +0000 UTC View PostAs the scent of paper wafted into his nose, Reivan couldn't help but smile.
The royal archives looked the same as he remembered it. Books. Just, books everywhere you looked. Shelves upon shelves upon shelves of the good stuff.
That said, not everything was the same. As it turned out, the old lore keeper who knew where everything was had changed from his childhood. It was a little sad to think about, but such is life. And who knew, maybe the old man was still alive and enjoying ret...
2024-11-04 07:06:56 +0000 UTC View PostWith a sigh, Reivan turned to the anxious darkin, still halfway into prostration once again. A lofty Ascendant, bowing to three mortals. What a time to be alive.
“The Outlands are profoundly expansive, Lady Iselle," Reivan said, trying hard not to sound too dismissive. He was on their side after all, but he was also on the kingdom's side in that he wanted to lower the risks to the knights. "How would we go about finding them? You've shared that your clan is a no...
2024-10-31 02:47:19 +0000 UTC View PostBefore the short amount of time needed to activate the pearl of wisdom's power ran out, Reivan was suddenly met with the embrace of a woman he'd only met today.
That was strange. Usually, he had to take girls out on expensive dates or say a few witty pick-up lines before he got to that stage.
'What...'
Reivan tried to replay what happened in his mind, trying to see where things went awry.
First, he approached the group of darkin. The actions of the surrounding...
2024-10-28 03:43:19 +0000 UTC View PostYep, just as it says on the Title.
The recent typhoon has been surprisingly troublesome, causing both blackouts and internet problems. It took multiple tries to get this post online and it has mad me want to throw my phone into a wall many times.
Don't worry though, I'll live. Thankfully, my workplace made the wise call not to make everyone come in to work. But the internet and electricity issues have been bothering me and my household for two fricking days now.

"A teleportation gate will be installed in the castle being constructed in Lageton," Gwen assured him with her signature professional tone. "There will be no conflict with your concubines should they decline to live with you in Lageton."
"That's great." Reivan smiled, but more about the teleportation gate. Now he could give his brother a piece of his mind whenever he wished.
Furthermore, if things ever got too uncomfortable there, he could just zip back over here for a while. Noth...
2024-10-21 00:19:07 +0000 UTC View PostReivan awoke with a start, a carpet's surface greeting him instead of a familiar ceiling or his lovely fiancee's sleeping form.
'Huh. Did I fall off? I fell off, didn't I...'
His question was immediately answered when a familiar set of feet stepped right in front of him, causing him to look up. And there stood one of his fiancees—the one that could beat him up if she really tried.
"You wouldn't wake up," Helen explained before he asked.
Reivan groaned as he ...

Emphasis on "used to be". Because now, it was just a pile of shattered stone.
"Ugh..." he groaned, catching a whiff of the nauseating air in the surroundings. There was a gray smog as far as the eye could see and the only reason he hadn't suffocated to death was the magically enchanted cloth bandana he wore over his lower face. As for his eyes, the Brothers of Arkhan had given him a set of "goggles...
2024-10-17 07:19:40 +0000 UTC View PostUnder the dark cyan sky, Viktor Suprana idly stared out into the bleak and horrifying landscape that filled the world they knew as the Outlands.
Or what he could see of it, that is. Which, to be honest, wasn't very far.
Because of Outland's strange fog, an Ascendent's seventh sense was made useless in this place. Ironically, that meant his hearing—far superior to that of a human's—was a lot more useful here than anywhere else. That made him a worthy commander of the investigat...
2024-10-14 03:43:11 +0000 UTC View PostReivan took his time flying down the mountain, sitting pretty on Zouros' large back.
There was plenty to admire. The sea of green blanketing the mountain, the bustling cityscape around it, and the familiar temperate winds blowing against his face.
It was the Aizen he'd come to know and love.
It was his home.
'I'm finally back! Let's go!'
In hindsight, he hadn't been away for too long. He'd been tucked away in his mind for much longer in comparis...

There was only one reason why so many Transcendents were after him—they knew how close he was to achieving a higher realm. Though he did not know how the other two nations found out about his intentions, at this point, it hardly mattered.
They were here. And they were out for his blood.
An unexpected boon that had come of it ...

They were probably the other four spirit beasts the Sage King had a contract with in addition to the silver owl. Or rather, since the Sage King was the silver owl, then these four were contracted to the owl. He didn't think it was possible for spirit beasts to form contracts with other spirit beasts, but this didn't seem like the time to ask the Sage King for specifics. They were trying to kill him, ...
