Casper solved the puzzle and shattered the spatial bindings holding the final fragment as Lyra flew up and grabbed it. She returned it to him, and he inspected it to make sure everything was in order.[World Fragment of Yalsten (Unique)] – One of five World Fragments of Yalsten, the cornerstones of the miniature world. As Yalsten began falling apart, the World Core was split into five and scattered in the cardinal directions of the world to stabilize it. What has broken cannot be restored, but the fragments can be combined into a Quasi-Core once more. Be warned that creating a new core from the fragments will permanently destroy the world known as Yalsten. Cores will automatically reform if close to each other.When coming to this place, the undead faction had held two primary goals. This was the first of them. A World Core was something even gods sometimes desired, as it allowed one to create a true world. Not a full universe, but a world that existed within the endless Void between

Throughout the multiverse, different species and races were famous for different things. Humans were famed for their diversity and their ability to become nearly everything. You could meet humans as strong and tough as the most powerful beasts, or mages with magic and skills that employed concepts in line with the most powerful elementals or spirits.A cat-like monster would often be agile and fast. A fish would excel underwater and have skills well suited for underwater combat. Among all these species, some were more famous than others. Not only for their relative strength, but for simply being a powerful race.Unique Lifeforms, beings that were not truly a race in themselves, stood at the pinnacle of this. Any Unique Lifeform was an existence that all knew were powerful solely by hearing what they were, but this was far from limited to only them. Some races fell under other archetypes but were nevertheless extremely powerful due to the subcategory their race fell into.The most famo

Miranda walked together with quite the group of people through the giant maze. It was a Vault far larger than any other, and they soon found out why... because it wasn’t only one. It was several Vaults hidden within one Vault in some complex pattern, and one had to solve all of them to open the final one in the middle.Coupled with that, it was a massive maze with dead-ends, traps, monsters, and—worst of all—other participants. Fights happened all the time, forcing people to group up whenever possible, and small factions had ended up forming.As for who Miranda found herself with… well, it was a nice mix of new and old. Sultan had stuck with her after the whole Eron business—something she wasn’t sure how to feel about. They had later been joined by Sylphie and Carmen, who had managed to find each other. Then, suddenly, a drone from Arnold had passed by, which was how they got to their current size, as he apparently had over a hundred in the damn Vault scouting things out.Neil and his

About twenty kilometers from the center of the plains, six figures suddenly appeared—five humans and one vampire. The vampire instantly turned towards the humans and charged without any hesitation.Neil blocked the Cursed Soldier with a barrier, giving Christen time to engage it in melee. Levi was already flanking the vampire as Silas cast buffs on Eleanor, who was charging up a Powershot. Neil had managed to teleport them all to the circle he had prepared in the distance, isolating them with the Soldier just as planned.The Soldier and Christen crashed, but she easily held on as he redirected the sword swing with her buckler. This particular Soldier had a sword and a shield, and while it was quite powerful, it wasn’t very talented at using its weapons.Levi came in from the side, his sword aflame. He cut the Soldier across the back, making it growl and turn to hit him. Christen took the opportunity to try and stab the vampire with her rapier, but found her blow blocked by the shield.

Jake watched Eron stand before the Cursed Monarch, unbothered as flames wormed across his body.The Monarch took a step back and asked, "What are you?""A rude welcome followed by a rude question," Eron said, visibly upset while looking at the Monarch. “I have had not the best time these last few days, so please excuse my own rudeness… but I have never seen a more disgusting spark than what glows within you."Broken and flickering like the wind can snuff it out at any moment, you burn out your very essence and need to consume the sparks of others to keep yourself alive… Disgusting beyond belief. Truly your existence itself is cursed, Monarch or not."The white flames exploded out of Eron. The Cursed Monarch was pushed back, or rather, chose to fly back. He didn’t take much damage from the flames but was still left disturbed. As Jake already knew, the flames were more eerie than dangerous. A bit of exposure did nothing but some damage to health, but with enough time, Jake could see it
