Estia stood in tense silence amongst the other Dark Crusaders. No— no these weren’t Dark Crusaders. They were traitors. They stood against her, even when she had ordered the execution of Melas.
And it was all because of Karna. That foolish Dark Acolyte had opposed her, all because she refused to impart knowledge to him that held more gravity than he could carry. It was ridiculous. She should’ve known that this would happen. In fact, she had told her mentor, Kores, that Ka...

So, I’m 99% sure the issue is an inflamed tendon. The numb sensation became an aching sensation on August 7th yesterday which got me a little worried, and someone suggested I take some ibuprofen if it’s inflammation. I took some, and it’s feeling better already. However, I don’t want to force myself to write when it has only just started getting better.
So, unfortunately, no Melas or Tian chapters today. There may or may not be Salvos chapters tomorrow, depending on h...

A sphere of blazing, roiling flames rolled through the air, burning it to exude its own toxic gas. The gray trail smeared my vision as the ruddy glow grew brighter. It filled half the room. It was as if it was a wall of fire in itself. And I knew I couldn’t dodge it. No magic of mine could protect me from its powerful blast.
The only hope I had was to use Dispel Magic. But would I be able to overcome the power of an Apostle?
I highly doubted it.
So, I braced myself. I stoo...

Fuck, I completely forgot to make the post here, didn't I?
So, yeah, Salvos V3 has been available for the past 3 days. It covers all of V3, which most of you have already read as it covers up to 168. Don't leave spoilers though, as this is a public post!
However, it also includes Side Story chapters for $10 patrons covering Rachel, Saffron, Hadrian, Faith, and Jaakko. I'm not going to ask you to buy it. Just check it out if you're interested. But I'd really appreciate ...

Karna lashed out at me. Not with a dagger. Not with an arrow. He charged me with his fist.
“You!”
He swung hard as I raised a hand. There was a flash. A barrier shrouded me, blocking his attack. It wasn’t a weak, simple barrier— the same one he easily tore through back when he trained me. I could cast spells far beyond the levels of a mere Force Barrier now.
The Goblin glared at me. “How dare you show yourself here! How dare you show yourself before me...

“Oh, you poor thing.” Bakyt pulled me into a tight hug as I finished my story.
I didn’t really struggle; I wasn’t against the affection. I quite liked it, actually. It felt nice.
“You’ve been through so much. It must have been so hard on you.”
I gave her a small nod. “It was. I—” I didn’t have anything to say. All I did was sigh as I leaned back against the chair once Bakyt let go of me.
Initially, I started to tell my story to only the Dwarf woma...

I stood right by the gates of the MTC, staring out into the busy streets of Jahar’taw. The inner city was busy as always. Dwarfs bustled about, rushing down the sidewalk for whatever job they had to attend to. Streetlights shone a bright yellow, powered by mana crystal, the mana tech which they so prided themselves in. Cars drove past slowly, not nearly as fast as the cars in my world could go, emitting a loud whirring noise which almost reminded me of a vacuum.
As diverse as the city...

IMPORTANT:
So, I've been working on a side project for the past few weeks, since July started. I haven't been able to write as much as I wanted to, especially since I have been getting almost no feedback the entire time. This project is one of said projects I plan on writing on an alt account as I mentioned in the past. When I begin posting it, it won't be on MelasD, but on an alt.
I'd just like to hear your thoughts about it. PLEASE DON'T SHARE THIS WITH OTHERS O...

I RETURN TO THORNTHISTLE.
The city that lies between mountains and trees. I fly low, sticking close to the valley before I see the high walls in the distance. It protects the tall buildings— houses of stone and brick standing alongside towers that rise to the sky. It is bustling with life, with Elementalists standing on the crenellations, keeping guard of any monsters that may come.
They spot us arriving in the distance. My glowing wings flap behind me, leaving a trail of ethere...

169. The Return
***
It was night. The fallen city lay dormant, a forgotten husk of what it once was. At the height of its glory, the moonlight would limn the streets with a golden white. The cobbled road had been chiseled with decorative patterns that drew the eyes of nobles and peasants alike, and a steep wall had once girdled the periphery to fend off any invaders who dared to encroach on the city at twilight or dawn.
Tall houses and busy ...

The MTC was not like a hotel or an inn where I could get anything I wanted when I asked for it (as long as I had gold). I was living here in political asylum, offered protection from the Church and the Dark Crusaders, so I was served food and drinks on a tri-daily basis, but I never had much say about it.
The chef, a Dwarf woman by the name of Zubaira, was very insistent that I ate whatever she made exactly how it was made. She wasn’t a luxury cook by any means, but she believed in th...

168. Nobody
***
“Salvos! Salvos, where are you going?!”
Edithe screamed as loud as she could, but the Demon girl flew away from the walls, happily landing on a nearby hill instead of the crenellations. The red-haired woman clicked her tongue. She had to stop Salvos. Whatever was going on, it wasn’t good.
She could sense the powerful magic, even amidst the fighting and battle. It drew Salvos to it. And Edithe was determin...

167. Who's There?

An army encroached on Vamont. It came not from another Human country, but from the Motharis Mountain Range. Monsters of all kinds filled this giant horde. I recognized and fought many of them such as the Drakes and the Saeves. But they weren’t all that came.
Silver Rank monsters, Gold Rank monsters, and even Platinum Rank monsters. Monsters of all shapes and sizes. It was as if all of Motharis itself decided to descen...

Side Story 6: Rachel I
“Rachel, come back here!”
Sophia’s voice crawled down the hallway after the little girl. Rachel glanced back once, seeing the shadow chasing after her. She skittered down the steps, much to the exasperation of the brown-haired woman.
Rachel made the sharp turns down the stairway with ease and reached the first floor with barely a sound. Her footfalls were silent on the wood floor, an advantage from having a high [Agility] Stat. S...

A car waited for us in the train station of the inner city of Jahar’taw. It had the words MTC written on its side, with a pair of Golem guards standing in front of it. I ducked my head low as I entered it, followed by Gennady.
“Is all of this really necessary?” I wasn’t wearing my mask. However, I definitely wished my face was covered right now. It was very embarrassing, causing a scene.
“I did not arrange this,” the Dwarf snorted. “I was just told that your...
