AtFC Chapter 57 - The Old Guardian
In the middle of the great formation, a sludge of flesh and bone was slowly rebuilding itself into a humanoid form. Then her mouth formed, once again. The worst part.
“Please kill me, please kill me, please kill me, I beg of you, please kill me… Please kill me!”
Like a mantra of...

Hello everyone! Thank you so much for your support so far!
Just popping in to let you all know that all tiers will be getting at least 4 chapters a week going forward!
I've received some feedback that $15 is too much for 12 chapters a month, and that is very fair. If I knew a simple w...

The white-haired girl on stage soon finished her song, looking up at the spotlight shining down on her.
“I never lived in a forest!” Elania complained. “Elves haven’t lived in forests like that for millennia! And I definitely didn’t sing love songs by myself.”
"I'm sure yo...

The curtains parted, revealing a scene Daniel almost recognized. A small harbor in a small village, where a small boy sat with his legs hanging off the docks, staring out at the audience.
Ah, that must be in Barrelton. And that’s me, I suppose.
The boy looked nothing like h...

The couple walked away from the tower and entered the old city center, with Elania's arm looped comfortably through his. The evening air was cool and pleasant, carrying the scent of street food and expensive perfumes.
Wide cobblestone streets lit by magical lamps stretched between fan...

Later, back in their quarters, Daniel sat on the couch humming a tune. The melody was something from Earth, though he couldn’t quite place it. He watched Felicia practicing her Sarun magic on the couch across from him.
The red cylinder still hovered in the middle of the room, containing t...

Daniel didn't hurry quite as much on the way back to the academy, instead choosing to take a flying carriage. The ride was smooth and pleasant, giving him time to think about the lesson ahead as the city passed below.
He arrived well in time for his lesson, and quickly grabbed some food fro...

Daniel lay there in bed, looking up at a ceiling that was both familiar and nostalgic. The wood grain patterns were exactly as he remembered them. His bed, in his room, kept just as it used to be for a thousand years.
Elania’s arm was folded over his chest, making small circles on h...

Not even five minutes later, Daniel stood in front of the old house.
He'd been running through the academy halls like a madman to reach a window, startling several students who pressed themselves against walls as he'd sprinted past. Then he launched himself out of it using his momentu...

The next day, Daniel entered the lecture room reasonably early, finding that only a few students and an old professor had arrived before him. This was the class of advanced formations, where graduating students and even school assistants struggled to keep up.
Or at least that used to be...

Daniel pulled the papers closer, trying to hold his anger. But his mind decrypted the formations before he could stop himself.
Every part of their bodies was mapped in high detail, showing exactly what the intentions behind the formations were. Mana-gathering circuits on the arms and legs, ...

Daniel looked over at Felicia, finally feeling at peace again.
It had irked him all day, not knowing she was safe, wondering whether the other students were treating her well. Worrying whether she was overwhelmed, struggling, or hiding her discomfort behind that brave face she wore to...

A beautiful red-headed mermaid in a wheelchair. That’s what Daniel had brought in.
Long, scaled tail folded up beneath her, and a dark green shirt sticking closely to her body, seemingly made of kelp or some other underwater plant. And a wide, childlike smile on her face.
How di...

The world serpent was perhaps the threat Daniel feared the most.
It was a force of nature, a being from prehistoric times so large it could circle most countries. A creature he'd sketched into his worldbuilding document in a few casual paragraphs, never intending for it to actually ma...

Daniel stared down at the water's surface, barely making out a human face staring back up at him. He could sense her clear as day through his mana, watching him with curious eyes.
Artorias had never seen a mermaid before, so Daniel had no idea what exactly they would look like. But the real...

The port of Novanny had changed a lot in a thousand years, like everything else.
Even the general shape was different, with buildings stretching out into the sea, standing on thick wooden beams that reached deep into the water. What had once been a simple harbor with basic docks had transfo...

The seven seats of power were all filled, for the first time in years.
It was a dark chamber, but every surface was made from polished black marble inlaid with gold. Lit by a constellation of stars hovering near the ceiling, the room was dim as the night sky.
The atmosphere was oppres...

Quill's office was just as it had been when they left it, except for two young adults sitting in front of his desk. Daniel could hear the tail end of what sounded like an argument from outside, but now it was suddenly quiet.
Quill stood from his desk the moment he saw who entered, while the...

The next day started early, as Felicia entered Daniel’s room and opened the curtains, letting the sun shine directly on his face.
"Morning, great hero!" Her voice was far too cheerful for whatever ungodly hour this was. "What say you we get an early start to the day?"
"Mmmfh."
Chapter 40 - Contracted Spirit
Felicia felt none of the confidence Daniel was showing on his face.
“My magic? But it’s just…”
Just a tiny light.
How could that possibly impress the headmaster of the greatest magic academy in Javos? The elf who had lived for millennia?
“Don’t worry, ...

Felicia wasn't sure what to make of the boy standing in their doorway.
He was young—couldn't be more than ten or eleven—but there was something odd about the way he carried himself. He studied her as well, showing neither respect nor pride. Just plain curiosity.
"You can come in w...

Daniel and Felicia were back in the elevator, which was just as slow on the way down as it was up. But Daniel appreciated it this time, taking the opportunity to lean his back against the wall and just breathe.
What a day. What an impossible, overwhelming day.
His neck still ...

Daniel put his arm around Felicia’s back, pulling her closer for a moment before letting go. She smiled, reflecting his own as he looked down at her.
“Thanks, Fillie. I’m okay.”
The words were as much for himself as for her. He was okay. Shaken, overwhelmed, bleeding from the ...

Nothing moved for an entire eternity. That’s what it felt like for everyone involved, though it really only lasted for nine seconds.
Elania stood in the doorway, frozen mid-sentence. White hair that fell past her shoulders, pointed ears that marked her elven heritage, and the face Daniel ...

The bonds awakened like stars igniting in darkness, one after another, each one flooding Daniel with power and recognition. Four distinct signatures, four familiar patterns of magic that he'd carried dormant for a thousand years.
The white domain began to crack.

Daniel could already tell the patriarch of the Grifantes family was an unpleasant man before seeing his face. The mana signature approaching was heavy with age and accumulated power, openly threatening those around him.
And when the old man rounded the doorframe, it did nothing to change hi...

Given that the Grifantes were the remaining family of the greatest formationist in history, the elevator they had made was unbearably slow. Faster than taking the stairs, but that much was a requirement when the building was the height of a big mountain.
At least the view will be intere...
