The more time that passed, the greater the sense of incongruity in Vahn’s heart grew. He knew this was his ‘instinct’ that was associated with karma and fate so his desire to seize the initiative in his own favor was growing by the day. Now that the basic defensive perimeter of Haven had been established, the only thing left to …

After giving Lenneth a quick wash down with a sphere of water and changing her into more suitable clothing, this time an adorable black dress with white frills, the two set out towards Freya’s temporary residence near Daedelus Street. Her Familia had nearly seized full control of the first ten Floors of Knossos and also secured the sole elevator to …

With Yggy being much stronger than he expected, especially after ‘consuming’ the two [Yggdrasil’s Branch]s, Vahn’s confidence in his future actions increased greatly. He wasn’t actually that concerned with what Enyo might have prepared for them and had been considerably more worried about protecting Haven. Now, though it would still take a few years, Yggy would be able to completely …

With his plan of action decided upon, Vahn released his impromptu council to go about their business while heading towards the clearing with Haruhime, Emiru, and Maemi in tow. Most of the girls had fallen into their own schedule, which typically involved helping clear debris and scouting the 200km wide Floor. It was generally only in the afternoons and evenings …

Though he wasn’t sure if now was the best time, Vahn decided to simply proceed with his plans since it was a necessary step to take in order to make headway against Enyo. Construction of Haven had been steadily progressing and, though it would like take several months for the outer wall to be constructed through normal means, Vahn knew …

Though there were several unexpected developments, Vahn finally returned to the Hearth Manor after calling Terra to his side with Unit Management. They spent a few hours setting up a waypoint that she would be able to teleport back to, as he was still very interested in the Elsos Ruins, before making a few trips to move everyone over. The …

Though the tryst between Vahn and Rethusa hadn’t taken up the full hour, Vahn had made a slight oversight, forgetting the ‘recovery’ time. As a result of helping Rethusa return to a state where she could walk without support, they ended up being a few minutes late to the celebration. Based on how everyone was looking at them, it was …

After leaving behind Artemis and her Familia, Vahn found a large room with hard stone floors that would be suitable for having a large bath. Though the walls and ceiling had cracks running through them, the foundation was strong and it wasn’t in any danger of collapsing. Even so, Vahn set down a comfortable sofa for the confused Rethusa and …

It took a short while, but Vahn was able to slowly understand how his Karma had increased so much. Though it could simply be the result of using the [Fate Severing Knife], granting the Karma of the target unto himself, Vahn felt it was directly related to the fact that he had prevented Artemis’ destruction. Not only was she a …

Though there were several things Vahn wanted to investigate regarding Lante’s situation, he decided it would be best to leave her be for the time being. The other Artemis Familia members had been in a state where their breathing and hearts had stopped for longer than was medically ‘ideal’. He had used his Source Energy to revitalize their bodies and …
