Chapter 1837: Pace : Lament

After their not-so-brief spell within the Little Garden, Vahn, accompanied by Yuri, returned to the outside world in high spirits. Then, before Evan could even inquire about what they had been up to, the latter looked towards Vahn, saying, “Now that we’re outside, there is something I wanted to ask you. Those people…did they really come from your Empire? They …

Chapter 1836: Meetings and Machinations

Though he had ‘technically’ completed the Test assigned by the Guardian, Vahn’s ascent to the 30th Floor was via the accumulation of power cores. This was the simplest method to guarantee that his Pocket was registered for the imminent Workshop Battle, but, most importantly, it would also serve as an alert to the forces that were keeping tabs on him. …

Chapter 1835: Remnants of a Bygone Era

While Latias and Latios were enjoying their foray into numerous enemy bases, Vahn, riding on the back of Fenrir and guided by Ryun, made his way to the location of a set of ruins. The Test he had been assigned by the Guardian was to lay a certain spirit to rest, so, while the twins had their fun, he decided …

Chapter 1834: Impunity

Three weeks after his confrontation with the Yeon Family on the 21st Floor, Vahn found himself seated atop the palm of a giant statue resembling a hand. Below him, dominating this region of the 28th Floor, countless tents could be seen forming a rather expansive community of Regulars. For one reason or another, various Regulars had come to reside in …

Chapter 1833: Authority

Though his reserves might not compare to the average High Ranker, Vahn’s experiences with the Law of Identity had demonstrated just how much he was holding himself back. If he truly let himself go, there was literally ‘nothing’ that could defend against him, as, even if they were at the absolute pinnacle of the Record, they wouldn’t even be able …

Chapter 1832: Impact

After his meeting with the Sailfish-like Guardian of the 21st Floor, Vahn made his way towards a sea located near the border between the Middle and Inner Towers. Unlike the 20th Floor, where the Middle and Inner Towers were overlapped like Dimensional Planes, the only thing separating the two on the 21st Floor was a unique boundary that prohibited all …

Chapter 1831: Relocation

Following their arrival in the ‘Hidden Star Village’, Vahn, accompanied by Fenrir and Ryun, found themselves seated within the largest of the stone structures that served as abodes for members of the Asteria Tribe. All of the villagers had already been treated, but, rather than abandon them to their fates, he decided to offer them sanctuary within the Little Garden. …

Chapter 1830: Succor

In preparation for the Guardian’s Test, which involved traveling to a distant region in the Middle Tower to provide aid to a small village, Vahn was enjoying a rather hearty breakfast alongside the growing population of the Emerald Grove. He had Fenrir seated at his right, a palpable excitement radiating from her body, Ryun to his left, a thoughtful glimmer …

Chapter 1829: Aspirations and Experimentation

Though they might be as powerful as some of his other Templates, Vahn had succeeded in all three of his experiments. This included creating a Template with functionally infinite adaptability, another with a truly game-like Class system, and, last but not least, a truly unique entity that made use of a system fabricated entirely within Vahn’s mind. Representing the being …

Chapter 1828: Foundation

With everyone’s input, Vahn was able to come up with a number of interesting Templates, both to populate the Emerald Grove and to prepare for future events. This included at least one Template from each person’s Record of origin, and, most notably, a number of ‘unique’ Templates that came about as a result of Sis’ suggestion. Breaking down each Template …
