Chapter 1957: Turning Point

After clearing the ‘misunderstanding’ and allowing Khane and Dowon to meet with the residents of the Eighth Layer, Vahn ended up accepting both sisters into his Familia before arranging a place for them in the First Layer. As descendants of the Land of Peach Blossom’s Royal Guard, Khane and Dowon’s ancestry could be traced back to a race evocative of …

Chapter 1956: Release

Though he could not remember why he was chosen as Guardian of the Sealed Chamber, Tonki had made a vow to remain steadfast in his duty so long as Khane continued her daily visits. As a result, he had stood watch over the Sealed Chamber for nearly ten-thousand-years, never once quitting his post to so much as taking a break. …

Chapter 1955: Burden

After depositing Ryun and the duo named Sola and Namo into the Little Garden, Vahn decided to stick around the Wall of Peaceful Coexistence for a short while to observe how the residents went about their everyday lives. This might have aligned with FUG’s intentions but it wasn’t in his nature to simply ignore the suffering of others. Yes, the …

Chapter 1954: A Cursory Exchange

Entering the backroom of the tavern, Vahn was unsurprised to find a moderately attractive woman with ashen-pink hair and apathetic blue eyes among the people waiting inside. What did surprise him, albeit only a little, was the fact she had a thin scar running from her forehead, through her left eye, and down the left side of her face. As …

Chapter 1953: Perspective

With the Guardians’ Tests offering no real challenge, Vahn’s ascent had become relatively peaceful since his departure from the 44th Floor. Even pacing himself, however, resulted in him reaching the 49th in only two months. This brought him to a region in the Tower known as the Endless Sandsea, a massive desert that covered the entirety of the Floor, sans …

Chapter 1952: Lying Low…?

Following his departure from the 44th Floor, Vahn decided to remain relatively low key for a short while. His time with Yuri had exhausted him somewhat, so, even if it was just until he reached the 50th Floor, he wanted to decompress and search for a safe place to deposit people like Eduan, the members of Roen’s entourage, and the …

Chapter 1951: Stirrings

Lying within the ruins of a long-destroyed bed, Vahn, appearing far more muscular than normal, exhaled a hot sigh tinged with a pale golden vapor. At his side, nestled against him with glistening red fur covering much of her body, Yuri could be seen tracing the runic pattern covering his body with a glazed look in her eyes. She honestly …

Chapter 1950: Maintenance

Though he had expected things to get a little intense, even Vahn was beginning to feel exasperated by the eve of his tenth consecutive day of lovemaking. Without using extreme means, it seemed like Yuri’s stamina and willpower would never run out; as, every time she was on the verge of defeat, her [Descendent of the War Goddess] Innate would …

Chapter 1949: Prowess

Though she generally went with the flow, consequences be damned, Yuri was understandably miffed by the sudden appearance of the two Spirits of the 13 Month Series. Talking was the last thing on her mind right now, so, before either could explain the reason for their appearance, she manifested her Arms Inventory, grabbing their hilts and subsequently tossing them full …

Chapter 1948: Forward

After reaching his own quarters, Vahn promptly decided that his time on the 44th Floor was nearing its end. There had been more and more people arriving with the intent of seeking him out as of late, so, now that he had ‘dealt’ with Maschenny, the only real person of interest left was Pram. This, however, presented a number of …
