Chapter 26: Let There Be Luminite

“Hey, I’m back,” a voice echoed from the hallway.

Another bandit had entered the base. His voice sounded rough yet composed.

What I did know was that I was practically invincible in the dark. I figured I could probably pounce on this new bandit in this pitch-black room and defea...

Announcement

Due to unforeseen circumstances, I'll be slowing down my schedule for a moment.

This is the current (temporary) schedule for my chapters:

Every Saturday, Wednesday, and Friday, at 9:30 AM (GMT-4)

Don't worry, it'll be a temporary thing, won't last a month. It's just that things ...

Chapter 25: Darkness My Old Friend

With the bandits distracted by their argument and their own chaotic combat, I was left with a crucial task: find a way to disable the lantern without getting either of us killed in the process.

We were still caught up in the fight, parrying and dodging attacks as our arms grew increasingly ...

Chapter 24: Sneaking

I removed the ropes around Feyt’s arms using Carine’s teeth. It was a struggle, but I managed. After that, I used Feyt to remove the rest.

With our hands finally free, we had to act quickly.

I listened carefully to the guards outside, they were still arguing if cooking steak under...

Chapter 23: Fathers

Inside the elder’s house, several figures stood around a small table. Anger, fear, and confusion were on all their faces.

“Where is my boy, Feyt?!” Rayn’s voice echoed angrily through the small room of the elder’s house.

“I-It’s all my fault…” Teffa sobbed, covering ...

Chapter 22: Kidnapped

I was blindfolded and gagged, but through Carine’s eyes, I could still catch glimpses of what was happening. Feyt’s vision, on the other hand, was completely pitch black.

The horses finally came to a stop and I felt the bandits hoisting us up like we were cargo. I should have had experi...

Rewrote Chapter 21 a bit!

I felt like the fight with the dagger man probably wouldn't matter much and I decided to cut him out.

Chapter 21: Myself and I

So that’s where the déjà vu’s came from, this is Feyt’s village!!

I was so focused on how to survive in my new lives that I hadn’t even considered meeting myselves, and now that I did, what should I do?!

How did this even happen?! Coincidence? Fate? Luck? Destiny? 2024-08-05 13:30:03 +0000 UTC View Post

Chapter 20 Illustration Colored Full-Res

Sorry about the delay in the illustration! I booked the artist when his schedule was filled, my bad!!

Chapter 20: Fated Meeting

The journey to the village after leaving the city was rather uneventful. 

Father was tapping his fingers rhythmically on his lap as he watched the scenery with a wide smile on his face. He seemed pretty happy that I entertained him, so I let him be. 

But now, since I had no ...

Chapter 19.5: Father's Love

I woke before dawn, as I always did, to the sound of the chirping birds outside my window. My wife, Reina, was still sound asleep beside me.

I wanted to lie down with her for a few more moments, but knowing my schedule for the day, I refrained.

I pushed the heavy covers aside and swun...

Chapter 19: First Outing

A week had passed since I woke up as both Carine and Feyt, things were going well for us.

After tons of activities, my simultaneous movements became more refined and fluid, and I was practicing simultaneous speech whenever I was about to sleep, I even got more used to my new lives.

Of...

Chapter 18.5: The Guardians

As Feyt’s only older sister, I had the moral obligation to protect him from any harm. 

Of course, I was rarely home, but whenever I was, I needed to make sure that he stayed in shape. Thankfully, he was. Ain’t like I was going to cut back on his training though.

All we needed...

Chapter 18: Don't Be Cocky, Me

“Feyt! Dinner’s ready!” Mom shouted. Her voice reverberated inside my head. 

I could hear you clearly even if you whispered, you know? No need to shout.

“Coming!”

I jumped out of my bed and headed towards the door. As I held the wooden handle though, my mind remin...

Chapter 17: Dead Drunk

I played a couple of games of Old Maid—I mean, Dark Card—with Ricent. The result of the match was… kind of unexpected.

“Aaaaagh! Why are you so good at this?!” Said the person with the world’s worst poker face.

All I had to do was shift my hand a bit to the left or right, ...

Chapter 16: Dark Card

“Lady Carine?”

“Uwah?!”

I whipped around, nearly dropping the book in my hands. It was Leila, again, appearing out of nowhere like a ghost.

Could you stop that, please?!

“It is time to rest, My Lady”

“W-what? Already?” I said, my hands still ...

Chapter 15: Sergio Sauro, The Liar

Underneath the ruins of an abandoned town on the outskirts of Setus, a secret meeting was taking place.

Three men huddled around a small round wooden table deep underground.

One man pressed his hands beside his head, his thinning hair falling as his hands trembled in stress. "Two mont...

Chapter 14: Read-a-holic

Books.

Everywhere I looked there were books.

The library was so large it extended up to the second floor. It felt more like a city’s worth of books than a family’s collection.

I could hear several maids cleaning on the upper floor, they were pretty quiet with their work. Wer...

Chapter 13: Skipping Out

Leila escorted me to the dining room. There, both of my parents were already seated.

I had a good recollection of their appearance, personality, how they treated me. But this was technically my first time meeting them.

Father—known by many as Duke Kyrat Sareid—was a man of dignity...

Chapter 12: Best Day Ever

Professor Karvin sat back in his seat, his posture more relaxed. His face showed a genuine smile this time. “Considering our tight schedule, I cannot divulge the details much, but I want you to know, Lady Carine, that both I and the Third Prince expect much from you.”

Great, as if I...
