Side Story – The Adventures of a Lonesome Soul

He knew nothing but void. No matter where he went, the world was cold. He did not feel anything, he did not want anything. He was just there, floating in this everlasting darkness, in this everlasting silence. He was nothing and everything at the same time. He was part of the universe. But then, his world changed. Out of nowhere, …

Volume 2 Epilogue – Birth Of A Goddess

As the sun rose, lighting up the earth, the dark shades of dawn faded. However, despite being greeted by golden glow sunbeams, the Everlasting Woodlands were still dark. In the middle of the east continent, the Tree of Life stood like a giant against the deep blue sky. Its trunk was massive, over one thousand kilometers large. Its shadow always …

Volume 2 Chapter 43 – Ascension

Lynett His eyes were cold, emotionless. Feeling absolutely not threatened at all, the slavers’ leader was standing right in front of us, his guard completely opened, as he carefully studied each one of us, stroking his chin.

Volume 2 Chapter 42 – Confrontation

It was early in the morning. The camp was deserted of almost any slavers, who had long gone to rest in their tent.

Volume 2 Chapter 41 – Leven

Lynett I’m pissed. I’m pissed. I’m f****** pissed. I stomped my way towards the hill, trying to calm myself down, but this annoying feeling of irritation didn’t leave my heart.

Volume 2 Chapter 40 – Responsibility

Lynett Ah… I’m tired. My legs are aching and I can feel my heart beating through my chest. Getting down that hill is more physical than I thought.

There wasn’t much I could do from a distance, and I pretty much had zero information about …

Volume 2 Chapter 38 – Request

Lynett What in the world is he doing here? “Big sister!” Following her visit, the Chief Secretary led the way to the headmaster’s office. Seeing me growing restless -no one would go to the headmaster’s office with a light heart after all- she explained that I was not in trouble and that there was someone waiting for me there. Someone …

Volume 2 Chapter 37 – Visit

Lynett Alright, Lynett. Do not panic. Think rationally. Why is there a naked girl in my bed? I never thought I would’ve found myself in a situation like this. I thought it only happened in the movies. One would think I partied so hard last night that I ended up blacking out, bringing a girl into my bed. But this …

Volume 2 Chapter 36 – Aftermath

In the corridors of the Academy, a young woman was making her way to the teachers’ room. Holding four cups of coffee in her hands, she was struggling to not burn herself as the hot liquid threatened to spill at each of her steps.
