[Umm… where’s the car?] [The thing you wanted to show me?] [Yeah, I don’t see it here.] Kain looked around the room, finding nothing but stone. He sighed, [Well, anyway, a car is a device that uses fuel to move. It has an engine and four wheels, and the engine propels the car forward by spinning the front two wheels, …

Of the things I can impart onto you, my successor, the information regarding the Swarming Hunt is likely to be the most valuable, as it is the most dangerous thing you will encounter during your travels in the Rift. As well as that I required the entirety of my million quadralents to learn these surface level details, so if I …

[…] Mary could not make her reply, as what she had just heard broke her understanding of the Sect of the Divine Mechanism and the soul wide open. She believed that the item was similar to an infant -that it needed to be nurtured in one way or another to gain a personality- but the Machine God had a personality. …

[After much deliberation, I changed the telepathic lines from this:‘*thing telepathically*’, to this: [*thing telepathically*].

There were giant versions of swords, spears, axes, daggers, maces, and halberds all lined up along the metal weapon racks. They were all clean despite the dusty room due to the unique properties of the metal they were made of. Within the …

He knew that he could leave anytime he pleased, but it was a bit unnerving nonetheless. He had let his guard down and went with the flow …

Kain taught Luna a few basic concepts like air and water pressure, which progressed into her using them as either projectiles, creating air and water blades, or as propellant, taking a dense object and propelling it far away through differences in pressure. Throughout the process, Kain had also gotten slightly more used to using energy from demonstrating the various concepts …
