Our mod selection process has completed. Please welcome our new moderators.
The regular administrative staff are taking a vacation, and in the meantime, Biigoh is taking over. See here for more information.
A notice about Rule 3 regarding sites hosting pirated/unauthorized content has been made. Please see here for details.
Due to issues with external spam filters, QQ is currently unable to send any mail to Microsoft E-mail addresses. This includes any account at live.com, hotmail.com or msn.com.
Signing up to the forum with one of these addresses will result in your verification E-mail never arriving. For best results, please use a different E-mail provider for your QQ address.
For prospective new members, a word of warning: don't use common names like Dennis, Simon, or Kenny if you decide to create an account. Spammers have used them all before you and gotten those names flagged in the anti-spam databases. Your account registration will be rejected because of it.
Since it has happened MULTIPLE times now, I want to be very clear about this. You do not get to abandon an account and create a new one. You do not get to pass an account to someone else and create a new one. If you do so anyway, you will be banned for creating sockpuppets.
Due to the actions of particularly persistent spammers and trolls, we will be banning disposable email addresses from today onward.
The rules regarding NSFW links have been updated. See here for details.
I didn’t bother with subtlety or asking permission. I projected my Domain immediately once I felt the alterations begin. In the blink of an eye we found ourselves standing in my throne room, at the base of the steps, staring up at my staff and the tree that represented it.
It looked…weird. The...
Bethy, as it turned out, had been busy. After I gave her the assignment, she had wandered off, and I hadn’t really heard anything from her. I had expected her to sort out her plants, maybe have a pot or two stashed away that she could hybridize for some results.
It turned out, she thought a LOT...
The first thing they had me do when we reached the forge was strip. I was wearing boxers, obviously, but it still wasn’t a pleasant feeling being almost literally naked on an actual battlefront. At the very least, I wasn’t cold or anything, because the heat from the forge was perfectly suitable...
The next morning I awoke with a long, slow stretch. I felt…transcendent. The eight hours of sleep had been more than enough to heal the cracks in my soul and Domain apparently. That wasn’t exactly normal, but neither had the damage been, and considering Genesis Burst lived in the Domain, I...
I sat in silence. Or almost. Drips of water, the tick of the clock, slight brushes on the ground. There was sound, but it wasn’t exclusive of quietude. It was more…encompassed. The sound was part of the silence. Like seasoning in food. It added depth. Flavor. It made the silence more complete...
It didn’t take long for the ambassador from the ship to show up. I assumed, based on Alara’s request, the S-ranker who showed up was the captain, though I had no way to be sure. He came like the wind, stepping on starlight, and arrived in the time it took me to blink twice. Alara dissolved her...
The next day started just like any other. Another run through the obstacle course, this time with the difficulty turned up even higher. Every time I’d get used to it my parents would increase the difficulty. Speed up the swinging blades, destabilize the balance points, remove handholds from the...
It had been quite a while since I had seen Bethy fight. The last time had been a duel against Abel, if I remembered correctly, and it had been months ago. I knew she had reached the peak of C-rank, though she obviously hadn’t ranked up. Still, given the relatively small gap between peak C and...
I stepped back smoothly, staff flicking up to deflect a swing at my head, then whirling back around to knock aside another with the other end. “CUT HIS HEAD OFF!” howled a gleeful voice from the stands. I rolled my eyes and stepped under a scything cut, sweeping my staff behind my opponents...
I spent HOURS reinforcing Callie’s Domain. Over and over, I burned my blood, slowly refining my body as I went. It wasn’t particularly quick work, considering how little power I was using and how little pain I was in, but it was something. Enough that my count of blood drops rose from four to...
I spent the rest of the day repeating that course, trying to improve my time. It felt…terrible. Exhausting, painful, straining to the soul after a long enough period. But I didn’t stop. If normal soul strain was lifting heavy weights, this was more like lifting light weights for a very long...
The next morning we were up and ready by six AM. After stockpiling my scrolls (ten now, which was a lot more pleasing to look at than nine) we headed for the training hall to meet up with everyone for our training camp.
When I arrived, I was excited to get started. The energy was flooding...
After my rank-up, I called a meeting of my closest allies. My cabinet, my close friends, my bodyguards, my parents, everyone who was relevant to my future plans. They all filed into the meeting room I’d borrowed, then took their places at the massive wooden table. I sat down, admiring the dark...
After sitting through about two dozen meetings, I was finally able to get away from the throne room. Callie trailed behind me, obviously trying not to laugh at my sour disposition. “What?’ I demanded. “I hate politics. You know that.”
“Oh I know,” she said with a laugh. “Everyone knows. I think...
Once my time with my friends was over, it was time for politics. Harrison was running things on the war front with Aiden supporting, but as the current Wishmaster, I was technically the highest ranking official at the base. That meant I was now in charge of said base, and would be expected to at...
