The world was moving faster than Son Goku had ever seen it move.
Trees, rocks, and winding rivers blurred into streaks of green, gray, and blue. The wind whipped fiercely against his face, pulling his spiky black hair straight back. He clung to Bulma's waist, fascinated by the loud, rumbling...
He was older than the mountains. He was a sea of endless, roaring light. He held the stars in his hands, and when he breathed, the fabric of the universe trembled. He was vast, boundless, and untouchable, drifting through a void that felt like a familiar childhood home.
Then, a giant, steaming...
Threadmarks: Chapter 28: What Did the Holy Mother Plannned?
Just moments before the surprise attack, Bram was standing a short distance down the path, deep in conversation with Thora.
He leaned in a little, red eyes bright with hope.
"So… what do you think about my proposal?" Bram asked, trying to sound casual but clearly excited.
Thora's blue eyes...
Fia spent the next day training exclusively with Mana and Beatrice.
Because of this delay, the Hero party was held back as well, allowing both groups to travel to the dungeon on the same day.
There was another reason for the timing, of course, but that mystery had to remain a mystery for a...
Threadmarks: Chapter 26: The Predictive Command Lag
Every other person who wasn't fighting had already retreated to the edge of the garden.
Aether and Diverg stood in the middle of it.
The ruined garden had gone deathly quiet. Rose petals hung frozen mid-fall. The cracked fountain dripped in a slow, ominous rhythm.
Beatrice just watched all of...
Let's go back to the day Aether activated the nanites, or more specifically, the day after.
The sun had climbed just high enough to bathe Belmod Manor's sprawling gardens in warm, golden light. Neat stone paths wound between blooming rose bushes and tall flowering hedges. Trees cast dappled...
The Guild Master stared at me with a confused look, her orange cat ears twitching slightly. Her yellow eyes narrowed.
I stared right back, equally shocked.
This… complicated everything.
Our real targets—the three people the Holy Mother Church explicitly wanted found—were standing right behind...
Threadmarks: Chapter 23: A Little Warm-Up, I Guess?
The Sanctum Divina gate loomed ahead, two massive stone pillars carved with holy runes, flanked by four church knights in gleaming white armor.
They didn't ask for names, levels, or guild tags. In the Espiral Infinita, there was no "verification" process like in other dungeons. You simply...
Morning sunlight spilled over Luminara, painting the white spires of Sanctum Divina in soft gold.
The city was waking up—street vendors shouting about fresh bread, adventurers rushing toward the central dungeon, and temple bells ringing gently in the distance.
But inside one particular...
While Fia Belmod had likely gained a powerful new ally, other things were stirring in the vast city of Luminara. The night was deep and quiet, but not everyone was asleep. Secrets whispered in the shadows, and hidden plans were unfolding.
To understand what was happening, one needed to know a...
Threadmarks: Chapter 20: A Moment with Caged Singularity
"We smashed the building blocks of the universe together. The Ordinary and Antimatter tried to kill each other. The Dark Matter tried to crush them. The Exotic Matter tried to flee backwards through time. In that chaotic stalemate, we found equilibrium. We didn't build an engine; we trapped a...
"They're called the Faith of the Holy Mother," Fia said, her voice dropping low.
"The organization that basically owns this whole damn kingdom?"
"What do you mean by 'whole damn kingdom'?" Aether leaned forward, his curiosity piqued. Maybe this world wasn't so bad after all. Even a country...
After dinner, all the guests were escorted to their rooms in the grand Belmod Manor. Some were exhausted, desperate to crash into bed for a good night's sleep, while others craved solitude, barring their doors to the outside world.
But one guest was buzzing with energy, far from ready to call...
Threadmarks: Chapter 17: Arrival at Belmod Manor and Dinner?
After a refreshing shower and a quick change into clean clothes, the group was escorted to a grand dining room right in the heart of the mansion.
It was cozy yet elegant, with warm candlelight flickering off polished wooden walls and a long table set for a feast.
There, at the head of the...
Threadmarks: Chapter 16: The Black Box and the Hero from Another World (3/3)
The impact was deafening. Colored lightning exploded across the room, making everyone's hair stand on end. The teacups rattled. Somewhere, a window cracked.
The rainbow light faded. The cracked teacups stopped rattling. Everyone stared at the little black cube floating in the air, now wrapped...
