It was another six hours of practical combat training before Tsubaki and I were released by Leowynn. During this time, she drilled into us the necessary ideas to keep in mind when fighting in the void. For instance, concepts such as always maintaining at least two points of reference, always maintaining your void barrier, and to never directly answer an …

The training battle with Leowynn was… intense seems like an understatement..When she said that she was going to be forcing us to adjust to different flows of time, she was serious. In a training battle that seemed to last for hours, every few minutes one or both of the avatars she used to fight Tsubaki and myself would randomly change …

After sitting down and watching a couple of movies with everyone, I became more determined to avoid such excessive usage of fast forwarding after this coming match was over. Unless there was something that I critically needed to develop in order to have my world survive an attack, it was fine to let things slowly develop. I could save up …

With James out of commission for the foreseeable future,  there was bound to be a dip in the speed of developing technology within my world. Although we had long since caught up to the standard of technology James was used to, he was a naturally gifted inventor. It would be hard to replace him in the short term. How long …

Considering the time it took to construct each Void Core and find a suitable world to test it on, it took roughly twelve years before the official launch of the Void Core power plants. For this initial launch, each universe was assigned one core that would be held in a different realm to supply power to them on a grand …

When Lifre eventually reported back to me and told me the identity of the ‘boss’ monster of the fifty-seventh floor, I couldn’t help feeling surprised. This was the second time that we had encountered a creature of James’s race. Given the fact that it was buried so deeply in the mountain, it had likely been hibernating for centuries, if not …

While I was going through the various different seeds that Aurivy had brought me, I was at the same time familiarizing myself with the changes that had occurred within the world. For instance, Aurivy’s presentation of the Withered Tree token alerted me that this thing would very likely change the way the lower level forces of the world functioned. Thus, …

After I finished absorbing the tokens, I took my time exploring the list of abilities one by one, looking to see if there was anything that truly stood out to me. Honestly… there was nothing that would revolutionize my fighting style or increase my strength by a large amount. I had wanted the Still Mirror seed just because it matched …

After I was done catching up with Tsubaki, Dana informed us that she was going to head off to work on one of her projects. Now that we were back, she was passing the baton back to Tsubaki, so to speak. “By the way, where is Lifre?” I asked, glancing around. I had expected Lifre to appear at some point …

Unfortunately, it seemed that the matter of the Void Core wouldn’t be completed just yet. There were still a few major hurdles that had to be overcome before it could be used practically. Still, the fact that we were making progress was a good sign. After all, I fully intended to undergo more skips during this month in order to …
