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.

After some time, as everyone prepared in their own way for what was to come, Dalai Lin stood up and announced in a serious tone, clenching his fully healed hand in front of him.
"We are ready."
"Perfect, then let's get to work."
Erik, who was sitting at a table made of solidified Myst, eating...
Hesitant, Erik gazed at the little he could see of the strange room while deep in thought, but no matter how much he pondered, he couldn't reach a decision. After all, if he made a mistake and something like the forced teleportation from earlier happened again, fleeing could end up costing him...
Threadmarks: VOL 3 Chapter 101: A giant golem core?!
"What happened?!" Elara asked aloud as she mobilized her mana at full speed. At that moment, a beam of white fire shot out from the staircase directly toward them, prompting Erik to issue an urgent command.
"Open the formations!"
With urgency, Ethan conjured a set of runes while Chen performed...
"Get ready to deploy the formations!"
Sitting atop Kaiser, Erik, calculating the time since the last 'active phase,' ordered with a serious voice as Kaiser quickened its pace to cover as much ground as possible. In Myst's vehicle, Chen and Ethan quickly retrieved a crystal tablet each from...
"The Scouting Spheres have infiltrated 70% of the corridors down to the penultimate floor, but the moment they enter the bottom floor, we lose all contact with them. So, we know nothing beyond the map Erik showed us earlier. On the other hand, our food supplies are depleting at a rate 13% faster...
"Finally…"
After three hours of being submerged in a bathtub full of viscous liquid, Erik let out a sigh and commented with a small smile as the glow of the liquid faded. Standing outside the bathroom, Zoe, Elara, and Ethan stepped forward with different expressions on their faces.
"How do you...
"Lirio, try to search." Frank quickly took the adorable spirit into his hands and ordered with a serious tone while bringing it closer to the root that Chen was holding.
After 'sniffing' the root a couple of times, Lirio looked at Frank and then let out adorable squeaks while pointing outside...
Threadmarks: VOL 3 Chapter 96: I don’t recognize that root.
As Erik reached a silent conclusion, time passed, and his most severe wounds began to heal. The glow of the liquid he was submerged in faded, losing all color in sync with his recovery. Meanwhile, Frank, who had remained completely focused on operating the magic circle and adding potions...
Threadmarks: VOL 3 Chapter 95: I choose to believe you.
"Well, first I need to get something before we start."
Leaving the wolves behind, Erik climbed to the first floor with Frank, where he created several spheres of light to illuminate the place using runes while commenting as he looked at Frank. The young man quickly nodded with a serious and...
Threadmarks: VOL 3 Chapter 94: Life is truly curious sometimes.
Upon hearing Elara's announcement, Ethan and Chen quickly snapped back to reality and focused their gazes on the hallway. There, they could see some surviving golems and a few others that had arrived running alongside those emerging from the walls, looking around as if searching for something...
Threadmarks: VOL 3 Chapter 93: Is he always like this?
Upon returning to the upper floor, Erik dashed out of the shelter, at which point the spheres of light extinguished and the water in the pond returned to its original position. As he exited, Erik found himself in a pandemonium where his group was fighting tooth and nail against more than a...
Threadmarks: VOL 3 Chapter 92: I really shouldn’t have come.
As the knights and mages unleashed their most powerful attacks one after another in an attempt to stop the golems, Erik stood fixated on every object that emerged from the ring. But the seconds kept ticking by, and the shelter still hadn't appeared, causing Erik to grit his teeth and mobilize...
Under the astonished gaze of everyone, Erik sat on a throne of Myst he had summoned in front of the pile of items Frank had gathered, holding an elegant notebook in his hands and a pricey-looking pen. As dozens of hands made of solidified Myst sorted through the items in what seemed to be an...
"Erik, you should rest a bit more." Seeing Erik open his eyes and shift slightly, Zoe, who always kept a watchful eye on him, quickly commented with a concerned tone.
"I can't rest any longer; I'm running out of time." Erik replied in a serious tone before downing a healing potion. Those words...
Threadmarks: VOL 3 Chapter 89: You’re some kind of artifact?
{The lullaby returned.}
Erik nodded and quickly turned to grab his machetes while glancing at the walls, which began to slowly light up. At the same time, Elara stood in the midst of the wolves, who had grown to protect Erik, gripping her staff tightly, her nerves on edge.
The team's defensive...
While writing completely focused on his notebook, Erik occasionally took healing potions and glanced at the others before returning to his work. But as he turned to the next page, an action he had repeated at least dozens of times in that short period, Erik didn't continue writing. Instead, he...
Threadmarks: VOL 3 Chapter 87: Are we trapped now?
"You're truly impressive to come up with this in such a short time."
As she drew a refinement circle on a wooden board, following Erik's instructions and calculations from the notebook, Christine couldn't help but comment with a voice full of admiration. Erik, who was seated a few meters away...
Threadmarks: VOL 3 Chapter 86: You’re naming me the leader?
"Count on me for whatever you need; no need for deals or anything like that. I owe you my life. Whatever it is, I'm at your service. We will give you the inventory of what we have. From now on, we're completely at your disposal."
Without even thinking twice, Tomás spoke in a serious tone, then...
Threadmarks: VOL 3 Chapter 85: How did you end up like this…?
(What silence… What emptiness… Though it was necessary… The risk was too high…)
As he advanced through the enormous hallway atop Kaiser, Erik couldn't help but let out a silent sigh while looking ahead with slightly unfocused eyes, retrieving a healing potion from his bag. It had only taken a...
Threadmarks: VOL 3 Chapter 84: You’re still too young.
Amid Erik's broken, almost deranged laughter, the runic circles created a huge ball of fire and a ball of darkness, which shot downward and collided halfway. The impact triggered a brutal explosion that released shockwaves laden with black fire spreading in all directions, at which moment Erik...
