Unless he entered a dreamscape or proactively chose to dream, Vahn rarely experienced a dream outside of his control. Rather, the only times he truly fell unconscious was when he had suffered a serious injury or made a major breakthrough. Other times, he was always, at the very least, vaguely aware of everything in his surroundings. He could turn off …

While the Empire had been repelling enemy forces, the Imperial Gala had continued without interruption. Rather, from the moment of the initial explosion, Luvia had taken control of the crowd, a confident smile on her face as she assured everyone this was part of the evening’s festivities. Then, once she had received the signal that everything had been prepared, several …

Though Vahn’s presence was overwhelming, Musashi wouldn’t be considered one of the greatest swordsmen in history if she was helpless in the face of her opponent. In fact, she held a secret close to her heart, one unbeknownst to any of her allies, Archimedes included. Thus, in response to Vahn’s words, she forced a smile, her lips curling against his …

After a few more one-sided exchanges, where his attacks never found purchase, Vahn came to a stop above a half-destroyed building, staring at Musashi with a deadpan expression as he asked, “What is the deal with your power? I know about the state of ‘nothingness’ but it’s almost like your body isn’t even really here…” Hearing Vahn’s sudden comment, Musashi’s …

Due to her severe concussion, Olivia was in a deep state of unconsciousness, completely unaware of her surroundings. Though a part of her subconscious mind cried out, demanding her to take action, Caenis wasn’t just going to wait around for her to recover. Without any hesitation, the white-haired woman hefted her spear and, in a single swift motion, pierced through …

With most power grids being taken down due to their influence on the environment and the waste they produced, the evening brought with it a veil of darkness, illuminated by nothing but the ocean of stars and the brilliance of the moon. As a result, it was a lot harder to get around late at night as, without anything to …

Though Vahn had no intention of using CHALDEAS to unreasonably persecute people who had yet to commit crimes, that didn’t mean it wasn’t extremely useful for determining when an attack would come. While it wasn’t completely accurate, as any major event could drastically change the future, the combination of CHALDEAS, Sherlock, and Ark left very little room for variance. Since …

Needless to say, the introductions of Mordred and Sakura had left a ‘deep’ impression on everyone in the crowd. Vahn’s aura hadn’t exactly helped to ease any of the tensions so, even when the lights came back on, the majority of people weren’t sure what to do with themselves. Some thought about just turning around and leaving but, as the …

Despite having the attention of more than a thousand Magi, Bedivere showed an unperturbed smile on his face as he politely bowed to the assembly. Then, in a voice that had soothing quality, despite the firm undertone, he announced, “It is my esteemed privilege to announce the arrival of His and Her Imperial Majesties, the Sage Emperor, Vahn Aldrnari Mason, …

With nearly every attendee having already arrived, Vahn was patiently waiting to make his own entrance. He was intending to arrive precisely at the changing of the hour and, after that, other guests would not be allowed in.
