Chapter 152: A Bustling World

Rafe was itching to start. He always had some ideas about this, but he suppressed them, not daring to consider it.

Back when he had visions about the history of Primus, he did see a group of Earth high mages create a giant golem and merge their souls into it. When the golem matched towards Ma’la capital, it gave off the aura of a D grade user.

Rafe lay on a table-like stone slab. Ten minor gods stood around him, drawing an array. Behind them stood the fire god who freed him that...

Chapter 151. Devouring Fate

A/N: Hey, sorry about this week. We will definitely finish this week though. Please don't subscribe for this month. I will make the last few chapters open to all members. Just become free members for now. Thanks for the support.

Rafe looked at his status screen for a long time, very confused. The fruit he ate gave him two passive skills based on his luck stat, and also increased his luck stat. Now that he thought about it, Rafe had never tried to increase his luck, becau...

Chapter 150. What Rotten Luck

What were these little guys doing with this formerly useless treasure? He could make some guesses, but something else happened almost immediately.

One of the black ones sent what looked like a palm strike fighting technique his way. It looked cute at first. But then it hit him, and something immediately felt wrong.

Rafe remembered this feeling well. He felt this disoriented the first time Goleon forcibly extracted his soul from his body. But since then Rafe remembered extracting h...

Chapter 149. A Little Hope

Without any soul nurturing treasures, it took Rafe's damaged soul approximately eight hours, longer than usual, to heal. 

Rafe rolled his neck and shook his shackles as he prepared for the day ahead. It was finally the day of the promotion event.

Of course Rafe needed to prepare earlier than most that day. He needed to go to the Chosen's secret room. 

Over the past week, Rafe sent his soul out to the top of the spire to spy on the city. The gods wouldn't tell him t...

Chapter 148. Winds Of Change

Filoria looked down at the arena in disbelief. She always knew this gamble could end in Rafael's death, but she had no other choice back then.

For the past few weeks, Collab used his influence to become the main guard for Rafe's wing of the prison. It was like the damn man never slept. He was there every time she went, and so she was unable to enjoy her time as she wanted.

When her father first told her all his secrets, Filoria thought that she could readily give up on Rafael. But...

Chapter 147. Final Preparations

“As far as I know, using the quest system for the same thing is almost impossible,” Goleon continued. “Unless of course you want to go the crude route and buy your way to godhood using credits. Although even quest system users will buy a title system upgrade almost every time.”

Rafe took a few moments to process this phenomenon. He was the first person to have a quest system as early as the F grade, but he was also probably one of the first to miss out on the title system. In th...

Chapter 146. Busted Titles

There were two opponents in the arena this time. Fortunately they were both male. 

The announcer didn't say it, but everyone likely knew that the reason for such a change in rules was because Rafe had to die.

“This is a three way battle. The last man standing wins!” the announcer bellowed. 

Soon after the crowd joined in thunderous approval.

Rafe only scoffed internally. This last week was a trying one, but luckily, that whole torture thing should be over...

Chapter 145. Unhealthy Routine

“Concepts?” Rafe couldn't believe his ears.

“That's just a way of simplifying it for you,” the goddess told him.

Rafe thought through her words for a few moments, the weight on his soul increasing every moment. He did not have too much time, so he gestured for her to continue.

“Maybe you've heard before that there are myriad paths to godhood?” the goddess asked. And when Rafe nodded, she continued, “there are also a myriad of ways to get your truth to the pinna...

Chapter 144. Burn The World

Rafael's body still looked alive when his soul left it. His eyes looked dull and lifeless, but they could respond to stimuli.

Obviously he couldn't talk and couldn't do anything complex, but his reflexes were okay. When his soul left his body, he'd leave the cell, unable to watch the horrific scene that was an almost daily occurrence these days.

Then when he came back, he'd get everything Filoria said that day from his body. The brain still recorded information, and so Rafe always...

Chapter 143. A New Fear

Rafe tried to force himself to remain calm, but as a warrior, how the hell was he supposed to fight if he couldn't get close to his enemy?

He remembered something like this, that time Helare had come to him after the incident with Filoria. He was scared of her as well back then, disgusted. And now it seemed a lot worse.

“BEGIN!” the excited man announced.

Zora, the fire Elemenoid blazed to life, like some kind of fiery superhero from Earth comics. Then she flew towards R...

Chapter 142. Round One!

Rafe had nothing to do at all these days. He could only sit down and try to improve his soul quality.

But he would get tired every two hours or so. When he got tired he only sat back and looked around the dark. 

The cell was too uncomfortable to sleep in, so he could only doze off sporadically and wake up when his head shifted uncomfortably. Sometimes the muscles in his neck would ache suddenly, or sometimes he'd hit his head on the wall.

Once he had enough mental power...

Chapter 141. Under The Sea

Rafe looked at this new arrival. The former chosen of Primus, Goleon. He died before even making it to the D grade, yet somehow became one of the local deities. If possible this was information he was a little interested in, but only just a little now.

“How do I know you are telling the truth? No, why would I even care about this succeeding nonsense you are spouting? As far as I know, you are the ones who need me, not the other way around,” Rafe said, keeping the smile on his face. ...

Chapter 140. A Thing About Gods

The five people on the raised platform turned around. They needed to discuss something with the other secretaries.

For a few moments, the whole room was quiet, stunned. Now the room was buzzing. And even the wind god who'd formerly seemed on her last legs seemed a little rejuvenated.

“You can resist his aura suppression?” she said, the wind chimes sounding stronger this time.

“Indeed, this is a pleasant surprise,” Ma'la said. “Maybe there is a chance you get to go ...

Chapter 139. Paying For His Crimes

A/N: Super Close to the finale of this arc. Just need to shift gears by the end of this week, and voila. Probably by the first week of next month we'll be done. Thank you all for the support.

A few hours ago.

Filoria arrived at the white spire. For some reason, Collab had insisted on following her, though when they arrived, he walked towards the guard barracks at the peak, where two flying islands were chained to the spire.

Filoria rushed through familiar h...

Chapter 138. In A Galaxy Far Away

It had been a few days since Salazar Bromwyn had seen her mysterious visitor from the multiverse. It had also been a few months since the woman had appeared so suddenly.

But on this occasion, with a very loud pop, Gud was suddenly in the room. It was a lot more violent than usual as well, her entrance. And she seemed to be panicking.

“Salazar!” Gud shouted, “it's time! It's time!”

“Time for what?” Salazar asked. 

She was not yet used to her friend's bo...

Chapter 137. A New Hero

Aura attacks were not nearly enough to destroy a user, but the pain of a soul attack, especially for someone who had probably never experienced one. It was all the damage he could cause her just then.

There were damn E grades guarding her, and they were well into the E grade. He could maybe escape if he was fighting one E grade user, but defeating them. Let alone more than twenty of them. 

But the true issue was the mastermind behind Filoria and these traitorous guards. Even ...

Chapter 136. A Flood Of Blood

“I will take you home right now!” Helare screamed.

Home! The word slammed into Rafe like a rock. 

He wanted to go back home. Of course he did. He had never wanted something as much as he wanted to disappear from this damned planet.

Slowly, he started to come back to himself. Once again, he had been too lost in his emotions he didn't even notice what was around him. It was strange, the way he often broke down these days, like he couldn't think of anything other than ...

Chapter 135. Let There Be Floods (2)

A/N: I Think there are not a lot more than twenty chapters to officially end this arc! Yay! Endgame! Alright, I've distracted you enough. Let me have it.

When Rafael woke up, something did not feel quite right, but he wasn't sure what at first.

He opened his eyes, and the image was blurry, so he blinked them again. 

There was some kind of weight on his midriff. And then he saw blue hair, a body on top of his own.

His first thought was Helare, but t...

Chapter 134. Let There Be Floods(1)

A/N: I didn't realise when I promised six chapters a week that the decisive chapters were this close. Ah, I might need to take Thursday off to nurse the headache I will get from tomorrow's backlash. Anyway, cheers.

“Why is this such a big deal, Hel?” Rafe asked when they returned to their room.

“I just…I wanted you to have a better impression of the Ma’la,” Helare said, her voice low.

Rafe shrugged. “Thanks for trying, I guess.” Rafe rubbed at...

Chapter 133. Welcome To The Pits!

A/N: Schedule change! Six chapters a week starting today. Also finished the first draft for the whole volume, now to edit it. I'm going to try and schedule the whole thing within the next two weeks to avoid last week's disaster. Please be a little patient, thank you.

Filoria watched Rafael and Helare frolicking through the festival, just like they did every day and night. They were young and awkward, obviously more than a little enamoured with each other. Luckily, they...

Chapter 132. Gods Of Primus

Three hours later, the three of them were walking along a stream of the clearest water Rafe had ever seen in his life. It was so clear it was almost non-existent. Filoria was still keeping her distance from the other two, brooding.

Not that Rafe cared one bit what she was doing. He wished she was not here to be honest, but what could he do?

The closer they got to the temple district, the heavier the air, the Essence got. Rafe felt it. He also started to see a lot more ambient mana...

Chapter 131. Gods And Temples

A/N: Hey Everyone, sorry for the delay. I'm not having the best time, and this week may be a bit turbulent, but I want to increase the number of chapters a week starting next week, once I'm out of the woods. Please be a little patient.

Rafe wanted to see the temples first. The temple district was quite a distance from the harbour, and there were a lot of places in between, but Rafe did not pay attention to any of it.

He didn't consider it before, coming to the capi...

Chapter 130 Sharing Beds

Rafe kind of missed night tim, he admitted. The darkness, the stars, the benders. As a person who'd left Earth during his teenage years, night life was true life. 

They arrived at the capital island under the cover of stars. 

The festival, according to Helare, was supposedly a whole week into bloom by then. It was a two month festival.

He was in a new city at night. Just like the cities Rafe was used to back home, the city seemed to come alive at night. There was a...

Chapter 129. Endless Blue

The ship shared the general shape of ships Rafe knew from Earth. But it had its subtle differences. For example, even though it could float, and was, the largest part of its base was submerged. It was like a crossbreed between a submarine and a normal floating ship.

It did not have sails, or oars for that matter, and there was a pretty good reason for that. There was a good reason for it having less than five Ma’lan crew members as well.

The ship was driven by four gigantic sea ...

Chapter 128. Seeing The World

A/N: Sorry about yesterday. I'm currently on a sick bed, but I think it won't disturb the schedule too much. In anycase, after this short digression, we'll start the final act of this arc! Yay!

When the chosen spoke of going to a festival in the capital, Rafe had no intention of going. Rafe had no interest in learning about this world he was stuck in. 

Instead of going to explore the world, he'd rather stay in the dungeon and try to hunt and level up....

Chapter 127. He Is Mine

A/N: Sorry it's a bit late. Been under the weather recently. Enjoy.

Rafe had no idea why the chosen was bringing up Collab. He only knew thing, Rare hated the chosen for some reason.

“Collab also says you are a great fighter. He speaks very highly of your ability.”

Rafe smiled, though there was no joy in it. “Is that so?”

“I wouldn't lie,” the chosen said with another of his benevolent looking smiles. “In fact, he got me intereste...

Chapter 126. Meeting Your Heroes

Rafe looked back to see Filoria walking forward with a smile the mirror of her father's.

That was when he started to get wary. He had been wary before, but it had taken him a moment to put two and two together. 

This aquamarine haired guy with his head tilted to the side and his eyes half closed and his mouth wide open in a smile was Bodhia Benhaven, the chosen of Primus, the chosen he'd heard so much about. And Filoria was not as happy as she was pretending to be when she fi...

Chapter 125. A New Camper

Rafe returned to the others very many hours later. It was hard to tell time, especially as he did not have any skill or auxiliary system service that dealt in that kind of thing, and also because of the dungeon's perpetual day cycle, but he could tell he was very late. 

Immediately after the auction, which took much longer than twelve hours, ended, Rafe sat back in his cave, lost in thought. A lot of things he'd seen during the auction didn't make sense. He honestly wanted to repre...

Chapter 124. The Modern Multiverse

Helare couldn't remember the last time she'd stood this close to her father. Mostly because she was trying not to, as the mere memories of those times, of her desperate struggle to be acknowledged, embarrassed her.

It had grown into a weakness so prevalent, everyone seemed to have known of it. Bodhia Benhaven was trying to exploit that same weakness now. It was a move Helare could, and had used too many times to count, but she was trying to be better. 

She looked behind her a...

Chapter 123. The White Spire

A/N: Operation fluff cutter. So now, when I'm too tired to write or edit, I'm spending the time trying to trim down these next few chapters. I know some of you said it was okay yesterday, but honestly I will have to cut this stuff in the future whenever I start prepping for KU, so yeah. And it's a skill I will have to learn eventually. Some useless stuff might get through, but the product will still be a lot tighter than otherwise. And of course the world buildin...
