A/N: Reminder, DotF will be back on March 1. Of course, I'll still be around, and you can find me on the Discord if you need something (or if you just want to channel the lack of releases into coming up with some crackpot theories). 2026-02-01 19:00:12 +0000 UTC View Post
Chapter 1,453.
Putting away the cursed vajra stabilized Zac's faltering core of rationality, yet the Asuran fury remained lodged within his heart. Zac hadn't expected its influence to be so much stronger when taken out mid-battle compared to when he inspected hi...

Hey gang.
I've made the decision to pause my Patreon for February.
The Ultom mega arc has been a massive undertaking. There are so many parallel plot treads, overarching plot points, and a huge ensemble of characters ...

Zac fought back against nausea and vertigo as he swung [Verun’s Bite] in an overhead arc. A Middle D-grade Rapture Beast was cleanly cut in two, as were two more beasts thronging from behind. The fallen beasts turned into goop t...

Four days had passed since they felled the C-grade Rapture Beast. It had been butchered for valuable parts by Zac, with almost grotesque efficiency. The remains were discarded from the platform, yet time and cleansing spells had failed to fully ri...

Waves of stubborn Life resisted the encroachment of scorching starlight that leaked through the seams of the reed basket on Ra’Klid’s back. The surreal feeling of carrying a future star on his back had long since faded, replaced by exhaustion ...

The surrounding forest of towering spires stretched as far as Rhubat’s eyes could see, each thrumming with forbidden energy. It was neither a formation nor a curse. It was sin and sacrifice, embedded in blood runes covering their surfaces. Some ...

“Good job,” Tavza said as Zac accepted the jar.
“Likewise,” Zac said.
The jar disappeared as he sent it into [Purity of the Void]’s purification space. Thankfully, the jar was only the size of his hand, easil...

Waiting to collect bloodline-evolving treasures until after they finished the main mission? Zac couldn’t have that. He was well aware that he was a trouble magnet, through no fault of his own beyond his extraordinary pool of Luck. Something was ...

Zac had long since grown used to those around him treating him like an evil omen, and Tavza’s comment barely registered. Instead, he went over her plan to see if there were any conflicts or hidden pitfalls.
“How long do you need to compl...

“I’m sorry, there were some complications,” Zac said with a helpless smile as the utter darkness began to retreat.
It wasn’t that Tavza had blinded him with her Abyssal Domain, rather that the bridge to Fuxi Halls was closing. As it ...

Sorry gang, crazy migraines last couple of days, can't hack a chapter in my current state. Next chapter on Sunday.

Zac looked at the golden rune on his left forearm for a few seconds, ultimately deciding to spare it a blast of [Void Mountain]’s annihilation. Between a...

Hey all, one small update before I officially clock off for Christmas. Book 16 of DotF is now out on ebook and audible! So if you're already hankering for some reading during the break, why not reread the first chunk of the Left Imperial Expanse? ...

A/N: And that's it for December and 2025! Thank you all for the support over the year. It's time for me to recharge the batteries to wrap up the final stretch of the Left Imperial Expanse. We're back on Jan 6th!

Chapter 1,442.
The dimensional gate was one of, if not the, most unimpressive timelines represented inside [Second Singularity]’s inner realm. It was small, pushed out right to the edge, and it barely retained any territory of its own. It was ...

Kadel paused his work to wipe away the beading sweat on his forehead. A wayward drop could introduce heterodoxy to the fragile components, ruining millennia of work. He couldn’t afford any more mistakes, whether personal or professional. They’...

Sorry, that time again. Some IRL stuff has gotten in the way and I have to move today's chapter to tomorrow.

Despite being confident in his strength, Zac knew things had gotten troublesome. A brief inspection revealed that three of the thirteen invaders were powerful characters who stood at the summit of the Sealbearers. Outwardly, they were Peak Hegemon...

The sounds of metal striking tile were swallowed the instant they were formed, creating an ephemeral patter as Zac walked down the grand hallway. Zac was in no condition to study the unusual phenomenon. The ambient Spatial Energies swallowing all ...

“If you’ve been down there, you should also understand how dangerous it is. How are you supposed to withstand the Void in your state? You’ll be snuffed out like a candle in the wind,” Zac said with exasperation.
“You said you’ve ...

The endless rows of cabinets reached a dozen meters into the air. They were filled to the brim with treasures that stretched the bounds of Zac’s imagination, yet he didn’t spare them a single glance as he rushed down the halls. Almost every it...

Zac spent minutes silently hovering in the air, taking in the imposing scenery and the near-pristine Void. As he did, he began picking out differences from his Void Treasure and the upper world he came from. It would seem that Fuxi Halls was built...
