Nate stood outside of Ra’Paki’s home. The Elder had called it an estate, and Nate supposed with real estate at a premium on the stilt-raised wooden city, this space likely would qualify as an estate. Off to the side were rows of planters made of wood and filled with dirt. The planters housed ...
2025-05-22 20:00:05 +0000 UTC View Post“Pinoreth, the jewel of the Archipelago,” whispered Elder Jin’Kahn near Nate’s ear.
“You copied the design from your Sacred Trial, didn’t you?” replied Nate, his eyes glued to the shining blue and yellow city.
Before his eyes lay a city almost entirely lifted above a she...
2025-05-20 20:00:05 +0000 UTC View PostNate stood on the foredeck of his flying ship as it sailed slowly over the sea of trees below them. He could feel that the mana gems powering the ship were slowly being drained, the mana gathering arrays they were attached to it unable to keep up with the mana cost now that they were back in the ...
2025-05-18 20:00:04 +0000 UTC View PostNate went over the last of their gains as they prepared to exit the Dungeon. Eight Challenges had resulted in nine Dungeon Rewards. Nate had come away with a number of Stat Orbs from two different rewards that he had already used to raise his Mana Absorption and Perception Stats. He had two Skill...
2025-05-15 20:00:06 +0000 UTC View PostNate sent a mental message to Frick as he teleported away from a screaming ball of purple flame.
“How long?!”
His words were frantic as the ball of deathflame changed directions, chasing him across the expansive dirt floor of the mine. Another three joined it, chasing Nat...
2025-05-13 20:00:04 +0000 UTC View PostNate stood on the prow of the ship as it passed through the portal. In his senses he could feel how space contracted, squeezing them into a thin tube that only lasted a few seconds. In those few seconds he was able to sense how similar the portal was to his Spatial Anchors. In the same way his an...
2025-05-11 20:00:05 +0000 UTC View PostRa’Tiki looked over the gathered forces of The People. It had been decades since so many had assembled. Three teams of Igrit Riders waited upon his command. Another five teams of Jungle Hunters stood with Elder Rok’Nohn. Finally, a single team of ten Deep Guardians gathered around Elders Ra...
2025-05-08 20:00:07 +0000 UTC View PostNate relaxed as the water from the shower cascaded over him, washing away the salt and sweat. The blood and dirt from the battle had been removed days ago by the ocean water that they now floated on. Well, what his spatial anchor was floating on to be more specific. The Dungeon of The Shattering ...
2025-05-06 20:00:05 +0000 UTC View PostNate activated Conceptual Spatial Manipulation, appearing among the ruins of what had once been the rampart of the Calikex’s Holy City. Around him the area was littered with pieces of stone, wood still licked by flames and the fading corpses of both The Eternium and the Calikex...
2025-05-04 20:00:05 +0000 UTC View PostNate flicked up a barrier to protect the nearest rune cannon. The spear of ice targeting the undefended rune cannon shattered on impact against the shimmering wall of mana. The remnants of the attack rained down its razor sharp remnants, cascading across his personal barrier.
“How long?...
2025-05-01 20:00:07 +0000 UTC View PostNate stood atop the stony hill, Kiri by his side. In the far distance, among the clouds, a faux battle between titans was waged on repeat. The colossal black dragon beat a wing and two of its flying opponents were blown away, partially shielded by a massive opalescent barrier. It was the third ti...
2025-04-29 20:00:09 +0000 UTC View PostNate looked over the artwork he had painted upon the back wall of his Wizard Tower. He’d decided on the name for his house within his spatial pocket in a fit of pique. When Kiri hadn’t objected the name was settled as far as he was concerned. As for the painting, it detailed he and Kiri, floa...
2025-04-27 20:00:17 +0000 UTC View PostNate looked on as the invaders rushed towards the temple and the Calikex defended it. Reaching into his spatial zone he began unleashing a small army of Constructs, running the gamut from basic elements like Water, Earth and Fire to the more esoteric ones like Clean and Dream towards the oncoming...
2025-04-24 20:00:10 +0000 UTC View PostNate walked carefully through the jungle, his senses extended to catch anything approaching. After their work on bringing their Classes and Skills up to speed, it was time to venture into one of the Dungeons of this Wild Realm. It was easy to see that while they could gain levels and the like in ...
2025-04-22 20:00:06 +0000 UTC View PostNate got started on evolving his Mythic Skills to Divine. He had three Skills he intended to evolve that should follow the normal path he’d found so far. Conceptual Insight, Conceptual Spatial Manipulation and Conceptual Amplified Magic were al...
2025-04-20 20:00:14 +0000 UTC View PostRa’Tiki ran his hands through Whitecloud’s feathers, gently stroking the Giant Igrit’s neck. The action was both to calm the bird as well as his own racing heart. They had all seen Death’s Shadow flying in the distance and heard his roar. It had been Ra’Tiki’s first time seeing the gr...
2025-04-17 20:00:30 +0000 UTC View PostNate lost track of Kiri, his farsight sphere of awareness unable to keep up with her as she used her ability to teleport. A second later, he realised why she was teleporting as he also lost track of the black blur that was the jaguar-like creature. The beast was faster than Kiri. A few seconds la...
2025-04-15 20:00:14 +0000 UTC View PostWith his eyes and sphere of awareness roving over the tropical forest in front of him, Nate diligently stacked blocks of stone and planks of wood beside himself by cheating and using a Gravity Rune. The goal was to build a three-story house for Kiri, Frick and himself to live in for the next six ...
2025-04-13 20:00:08 +0000 UTC View PostA/N: There were a couple of edits/fixes applied to the last chapter already, everything else will likely be done in the Dev Edit (when I get back from the Dev Editor). In the meantime, this is the first chapter of Book 5, currently titled 'Colours of the Wild'. Enjoy!
Nate’s eyes r...

A/N: This is the last Chapter of Book 4 of The Runic Artist (current title - Brushstrokes of Defiance). I hope you've all enjoyed it so far. Nate is about to take the next step on his journey and we'll continue with the first Chapter of Book 5 on Friday (normal release schedule).
Also, Day...
Nate stood in an open field in the middle of a forest far from any settlement or any other sapient being. The only exceptions were Kiri and Frick who stood with him. In his hand he held a processed mana gem, mirrored by Kiri next to him. The time had finally come to undergo their second evolution...
2025-04-06 20:00:05 +0000 UTC View PostNate smiled as he walked down the street of the newly named Resurgence District. It had been almost three months since the Battle of the Mythics, as the populace had come to call it. Word of Nate and Kiri’s status had spread like wildfire throughout the Capital and then beyond, no doubt helped ...
2025-04-03 19:00:07 +0000 UTC View PostNate felt Bordain’s aura drink in the Divine Energy of his proclamation. Collapsing face down in the dirt, he could feel weakness permeate his body as Bordain’s Supremacy Aura suppressed his Stats. His limbs refused to answer, too fragile to even lift his fingers. Through his farsight sphere ...
2025-04-01 19:00:11 +0000 UTC View PostNate watched as Kiri, Deverell, and Britt charged the gigantic black Razorlash. Topaz’s shift had been disgusting to witness but insanely quick, and it left Nate wondering where all the extra mass came from. A problem for later, since he was focused on Amethyst, or at least, whatever Amethyst w...
2025-03-30 19:00:07 +0000 UTC View PostNate listened as Morgane’s answer to Bordain’s offer washed over the palace grounds.
“We will never kneel before a regicide. You could have proven that you deserved to lead this nation and its people, despite your loathsome ideas. But you had to go and support your foul ideas with fou...
2025-03-27 19:00:08 +0000 UTC View PostNate walked through the city, surrounded by hundreds of people. Most were from the slums, divided between those wearing armour he had stolen from the Asmuisillans and those who had come to fight for their freedom in their work clothes and rags. While the Slummers made up the majority, there was a...
2025-03-25 19:00:06 +0000 UTC View Post“Good to see you, Flash,” replied Nate, a small smile on his lips before turning to the two women. “Sorry, I don’t think I ever got your real names.”
“I’m Abigail,” answered the first, locking one of her hands in Flash’s. “But I was Celeste, and before that, in the Guild...
2025-03-23 19:00:06 +0000 UTC View PostDivine Energy poured into Nate and even as he felt himself become more in tune with Reality, the feeling was already leaving as the energy found him an unsuitable container. Splitting his mind four ways as he maintained the rune, he tried to direct the Divine Energy out of himself. The first tugg...
2025-03-20 19:00:10 +0000 UTC View PostKiri was playing messenger between the Smuggler’s Nest and the Guildhouse. She supposed some people in her position might have been annoyed at being relegated to such a role, but the fact was she was just happy to be keeping busy. Because every time she stopped, the thoughts started intruding. ...
2025-03-18 19:00:08 +0000 UTC View PostNate listened as Aisling’s voice boomed over the city, driven by some spell using wind, based on what he sensed through Conceptual Insight.
“All members of the Adventurer’s Guild are to make their way to the Guildhouse. Evelynn Allais, former Platinum member of the Ad...
