Vahn continued to sit on the balcony while trying to come up with a solution for how to, not only increase his own strength, but the strength of those around him. He knew that, through ‘The Path’, he could eventually become stronger than anything else. However, Vahn also knew it would require an incredible amount of personal effort, comprehension of …

While Phyrne was being tended to by Allen, elsewhere in the Belit Babili there were several minor skirmishes still ongoing. The elite members of the Freya Familia had invaded the interior of the Ishtar Familia’s compound and were slaughtering anyone that bothered to put up a fight. Since Freya actually had the blueprints of all the surrounding buildings, she had …

As Phyrne made her way through the corridors of the Belit Babili, the Ishtar Familia compound, she came across a group of fellow Amazons and remarked with a snide tone, “Shouldn’t you ugly bitches be guarding the perimeter or off earning some money for the Familia? Why are you lazing about here like a bunch of idiots, huh~!?” The primary …

After carrying Aki to her room, Vahn decided to get some fresh air and sat out on the balcony as he overlooked the property surrounding the Manor. It was already nearing 3 AM, so Vahn didn’t see the point in returning to sleep after having been awoken and participating in a duel. Even though he had calmed down, Vahn still …

From the moment Vahn transformed into his Xuánwǔ form and began to glow, Tammuz’s expression became especially serious.

Expanding his domain, Vahn began to look for the sign of any foreign presences within the 322m …

After the first night ‘alone’, Vahn felt a bit of incongruity in his own body because he had a phantom sensation that something was ‘missing’ when he first went to sleep. He woke up several times through the night and realized that his fears that Hestia was adapting his body to her presence became cemented in his mind. Vahn knew …

After spending nearly twenty minutes in the bath with Aki, the two dried themselves off and Vahn gave Aki some of the clothing he kept within his inventory. She was a little surprised that he had women’s clothing, but Vahn just explained it away as having been necessary in the past and he liked to be prepared. She happily accepted …

Vahn enjoyed watching Aki’s tail twitch as he played with her ears affectionately for a few minutes. He had even used [Hands of Nirvana] briefly in his right hand that was placed on her waist and gently stroked her side a bit. It was very interesting because her mouth became very tiny and she closed her eyes as her chin …

Aki had a reminiscent glint in her eyes, but Vahn could also see a touch of disappointment contained within as she narrated her story. She showed a ‘sad’ smile and continued, “You see, I joined the Loki Familia around seven years ago, when I was only twelve. Since I was too young to be an official adventurer, I acted as …
