Patrick_Blade8mthCommentedI think you mean, “Spacial Bubble Squirt!”
His ability to flash had been blocked by the Dimensional Anchors, and so had his Human Cannonball, which was essentially based on "spatial bubbles."- Patrick_Blade1yrReplied to Kaihwa
YES!!
"THE TIMING IS NOT RIGHT!" - Patrick_Blade1yrCommented
Nice imagery, and I like the alliteration. 👍
"Jae," she dusted her dress and looked to the front, "-vacating the premises doesn't look plausible…" spotlights locked onto a simple figure, an outline of a strange man leaned against a tree. Chaos brought by the downfall summoned stronger and scarier creatures of the night, howls sliced through the rain's woeful melody, the wind's waltz cut short by stronger flaps of airborne reptilians. - Patrick_Blade1yrCommentedCh 876 Global Scale

I guess that answers my question 😆
"Since last night, a deadly storm has laid its clutches over the capital. Military, the fire department, and the national disaster team have worked through thick and thin to answer calls of troubled citizens. Meteorologists are astounded at the sudden change, the vicious clouds have traveled throughout Oxshield and caused landslides," the newscaster looked to her side, the camera panned onto a formally dressed gentleman, "-prime minister," she said, "-it's to our knowledge that many have gone missing in the storm. In the last hour, flash floods and overall bad weather are eased." - Patrick_Blade1yrCommented
So did time stop outside of the realm expansion, or just inside it?
*Thud,* time resumed – television toggled, those on verge of death reawakened. The distant clamor of helicopters marked the return to reality. - Patrick_Blade1yrCommented
No. I refuse! Igna has to kill the Patel heir, and for goodness sake, STOP KILLING OFF ALL THE WOMEN IN HIS LIFE!
"Perfect," he said and leaped – under her nose, the manly grasp tightened around her neck and squeezed, Loftha found herself suspended for milliseconds, in her mind read as minutes. Both landed harshly, although, Loftha took the brute of the force. The struggle for consciousness was hard, Ziu's lustful mien undressed her chest and waist, he pulled without mercy, a bulge pulled along the pants, tis then, a realization of his strength crossed her mind, '-bastard has a strengthening power,' she narrowed and suffered through the vile undressing, '-sorry brother,' memories of the past and present flooded, '-I fucked up,' *snap,* an unrestrained stump, brought by the volley caused moments earlier, flashed and impaled Ziu through the chest. He gasped, confused at the situation, "-Loftha," grip firm upon her neck, "-fought till the very end, didn't you," lack of blood brought lightheadedness, "-too bad," he squeezed and snapped her neck, "-I never lose," he dropped and gasped, "-my job here's done. Princess Loftha," he side-glanced and caressed her cheeks, "-you truly were the best lady I ever met." Nothing, the princess's last attempt worked as did Ziu's triumph. - Patrick_Blade1yrCommented
Ahhh, got it.
"Plays into the narrative of child abuse. It's known the adoption of children is a façade used by disgusting nobles to wrap their deeds in a coating of innocent and good faith. We know what they truly desire, and tis the torment of the weak. Don't underestimate the thinking power of the Arcanum, they'll piece together the intent and come to a conclusion I ultimately sowed." - Patrick_Blade1yrCommented
Was this ever explained? Why does Igna hate the word “adoption”?
The impromptu visitor rose a debate about the privacy of those in the spotlights. Éclair and Yui released explanations on the Igna's statement, further elaborating on Vanesa and why he hated the word adoption. - Patrick_Blade1yrCommented
Wow, and here I was thinking that, “Fallen’s Call” was some awesome music that signified a certain time of day, like revelry.
"Oh, time already?" the 'wiser' leader had but one priority in the evening, soap operas. - Patrick_Blade1yrCommented
Wait! I thought she was the new love interest! Wasn’t she? She’s dead? Is this real?
The current date, 12th of March, Igna sat at the desk inside the castle. Opposed to a big room, one of the bedrooms was remodeled to suit his needs. A mass of paperwork spilled from the table and onto the couch in the middle, he sat with a cigar in his mouth. Partial sunlight snuffed through the blinders, the view wasn't much to desire for it gave onto a mess of reeds and uneven mud. '-Been weeks,' he puffed, '-an aftermath of the great escape,' a report titled 'Death of Lessie,' hung off the table, the folder was part of a bigger file, and sadly included Nadhi, '-world star athlete dies from a heart attack,' read the first line. '-So much to the start of a new friendship,' he held a glass, '-her death affected me, I don't know why,' he puffed, '-she was found dead at the resort, I had only seen her a few hours ago, and there, news of her death… if only it had been a murder,' he leaned in the chair, '-she killed herself. I thought we were friends, I thought she'd have spoken her mind. Painfully obvious that I'm not almighty nor am I such a good friend. Looking out for someone else,' he shook the glass, '-doesn't matter.' - Patrick_Blade2yrCommented
I want to hear it! 😩
"HOLY SHIT!" exclaimed Sugar over the microphone, "-ladies and gentlemen," interjected Yuna, "-our very special guests," winked Aceline, "-Igna Haggard and Markus Sultria!" the melody leaped into the drummer slamming her stick explosively, the buildup halted at the peak of the chaos, a short silence held the crowd in suspense – Igna and Markus became the lead, all looked to them for answers. "-Markus," he grinned, "-how skilled are you at the violin?" - Patrick_Blade2yrReplied to Frostysyrup
Ah okay, that makes a bit more sense. I just figured Igna was paying UNGODLY amounts of money for things.
The Royal council is well-known among the people of Hidros as the leaders of the continent. At the head of state sat her majesty the queen, and yes, for the most part, the leadership did act upon their duties. Most of which were decisions on potential infrastructural projects and a better lifestyle for the population, well, before coming to said conclusion, the matter of finance and basic commodities for living grows tedious and monotonous. Being the only continent in the world of which encapsulates the Dungeon and Monsters, the way of life is easier, albeit risker. To afford a basic meal at a basic tavern, the cost fluctuates from the lower range of 5 Exa to the 15 Exa range. Yes, very cheap indeed. A goblin drops on average 1-2 coppers when translated grants the modest sum of 0.5-0.75 Exa each. Doing the math leads to 100 coppers for the cheapest meal and place to live thus translating into 50 goblins kill to live. When stuck in the lower threshold of monster-slaying, the coins aren't the valuables, rather, tis the item drops that come with killing such a number. Either that or quests. In comparison, an office worker earns around 7,500 to 12,500 Exa. The greatness of adventuring comes from the higher monsters and more risks, taking dire-wolves as examples, the medium-tiered variants drop on average 1-2 Silver coins, and if lucky, a fang worth 10 silvers. One wolf killed easily equates to 5000 coppers or 2,500 Exa. Once an adventurer reaches tier-8, steel, making money becomes easy, and so grows losing one's life. This alone, the prospect of slaying monsters for money, adds to the countries' seamless abundance of funds. In a war-torn land, especially Dorchester and Kreston, the scars of battle linger – schools are obligated to teach students martial arts at a young age. Common sense is if one is in dire need of money, either study or work thy heart out in the dungeon. Aria and the Azure wall have grown as result. On the Dungeon alone, an unless treasure trove, makes Hidros the place strong people wish to partake in fights. There also exists the unregulated market for deathmatches, name it, and there is a small community of people dedicated to whatever macabre craft there is to do. This, leads us onto the fabled Ariel group/organization, their name changes frequently, the members are elusive. The birth of the Arcanum sprung conspiracy theorists who surmised the world to be run by people in the Shadows, and true they were, the world is run by elites. Ariel was a misguided child spawned from the Queen's stray plots she forgot to end. The project was to gather the strongest and most influential people in the world, wherein time of need could be used as political weapons against any who dared oppose her. Gathering such a crowd was a double-edged sword, they needed adequate compensation, and for the longest of time – the purpose of personally granted adventurers who've reached Tier-2 Gold, was to recruit them into her personal fold and work the dungeon. She'd take the earnings and grant the adventurers favors – most were forced not to ask, for her ways in manipulating people were unprecedented. Money earned here was then thrown to silence the Ariel group. Most were granted political immunity, allowed to do whatever business they wished, including; trafficking, drug trade, slavery, prostitution, and murder. Obviously, they didn't act on said vices, the Dark-Guild was reason enough to scare the fellows until recent years. The climate changed, Snow – branch of Cimier, made itself known to the underground by taking Phantom's northern port. Tis been in their possession for close to a decade; a crumbling balance nears a full-out war for power, time but needs to pass till the victor emerges from the rabble. - Patrick_Blade2yrCommented
I thought the currency went: copper<silver<gold<exa? Like isn’t Exa worth more than gold?

The names get mixed up sometimes. 🤷🏼♂️ It happens
"I understand, the stigma associated by one's gender," he paused and faced a bookshelf, "-Alphia's littered by it. Everyone's equal, or so they preach – politics is a big game of make-believe. What you wish, a world where women are treated equally already exists back home. Our country is ruled by a very strong queen, she's one of the best people I've ever met. My mother is a queen of the newly established Arda, she's firm, a little on the eccentric side but very loveable. Next, my aunt, Lady Courtney, the director of Phantom, a mastermind and genius when it comes to business, her foresight into the market has never been rivaled, I'm an ant compared to her. My closest allies are strong dignified women to whom I give my utmost respect. The list goes on and on. In no way do I discredit men, they're worth their weight when the correct person is scouted." - Patrick_Blade2yrCommented

But you are correct, the story doesn’t say he is being a prude, it says prudent; acting with or showing care and thought for the future.
It Never Hurts to be More Prudent
