    His parents kind of kicked him to the curb to learn about the real world, so he's a little bitter.

    There hasn't been any yet, and I don't think I plan on really including it. If I do, it won't really be a main plot point.

    that's what happens when a character is named Devotion. Sometimes they can be devoted to the wrong people

    Devotion explained, "I'm not one hundred percent certain, but I think it's one of Rydel Alabaster's journal pages. The writing is in a language I've never seen before, and I don't think anyone else has, either. Before we start to study this, Victor, you have to promise to keep this a complete secret. We could lose our lives to the greed of others, if they knew we had this. Promise to me."

    Thank you for reading! Please recommend to friends if you continue to enjoy, it helps a lot!

    Devotion wasn't sure, but something deep, deep in his soul told him that this was the right move, that the heavens wanted to destroy him, and that he had one thing and one thing only he could do: fight back!

    That's still one of the large mysteries of the work that Devotion has to unravel. The word itself carries the connotation we would know it as (mostly fictional demons, or a word used to describe an evil person), but Devotion is quickly learning there's more to it than that, and you'll just have to wait and see what he learns. Appreciate you reading along this far! Hope you continue to enjoy.

    You never know what scents Victor might be familiar with ;) In all seriousness though, it was just meant to be a little comedy, like Victor just happened to guess exactly what had happened.

    "I told you, I grew up on these streets. You learn these kinds of things with enough time." Victor explained, unfazed by it. "And don't bitch about the smell so much. You're the one who reeked of fucking bear carcass when I found you."

    Of Course! There's no proper weapon ranking, just magical items of different properties and effects. For cultivation, There are a total of 12 Ranks that are officially recognized and have been seen on the continent of Phimux. One starts at the First Rank, then with each advancement, goes to the Second Rank, then the Third, and so on, until they reach the Ninth Rank. When one attempts to step beyond the Ninth Rank, they enter the realm of Dukes. Directly after Ninth Rank is a Minor Duke, then a Full Duke, then a Major Duke. It's currently unknown if there is a realm beyond Major Duke, as nobody has managed to reach it yet. As for lifespan, you'll have to wait and see :). Most people of high ranks keep that information private, so it's not something the audience knows yet. Hope this helps!

    I'd like to think of it as sort of a fusion. It is definitely heavily inspired by Chinese cultivation novels, but I've put much of a more western spin on things, and there are definitely more fantasy elements than martial. I guess it's yes and no?

    Thank you! Tried something unique, nice to know that people enjoy it.

    One week has now passed since the Night of Falling Stars, and nobody quite knows exactly what has happened. You see, dear reader, you and I are aware of what Old Rydel did before his death, and how his inheritance has been spread out, but others aren't privy to that information.

    Thank you!! Glad you enjoy

    Even with this information, questions still remain: why was Rydel dying, and what kind of research was he doing that was so important to preserve? I have only one answer, and that is to read on and find out, as Old Rydel Alabaster's secrets are slowly revealed, all by A Devil Named Devotion!

    Correct, Ghostwhisper was disguising itself as something it knew was a high-value object, hoping to be picked up by a cultivator who would understand.

    "Ah, I almost forgot. Even in this form, I have a little bit of power. I used it to transform myself into this page, hoping a greedy cultivator would grab it and allow me to take control of their body. However, I've taken a shine to you, so I've decided to allow you to keep your consciousness. All I ask of you is you grow in power with my teachings, and eventually unleash me from this prison. Do this, and I will bestow upon you all of my knowledge from years of cultivation! You see, in my life, I was a Ninth Rank Cultivator!"

    Thank you for the feedback, I'll keep that in mind for future chapters! Glad you're enjoying so far :)

    Hold on, dear reader. Before I get further into this fight, allow me to clarify something. While each action in these fights takes quite some time to explain, nearly everything happens in the blink of an eye. In truth, it would be impossible to describe as quickly as they happen. Back to the mayhem!

    The decisions that Devotion may make later on are not up to me, but to him. Guess we'll have to wait and see!

    I'm going to be honest with you, I'm not sure where the name came from! I mention in the story that it was the first word that came to Devotion's mind, and it's also the first word that came to mine when I was naming Ysmir. I haven't done any research to see if it actually means something. Maybe I read it in a book or something a long time ago, not totally sure. Glad you're enjoying so far!

    "Ysmir. The ancient speak for 'dragon.' I accept your name." Ysmir nodded in approval. "By bestowing me with a new name, you have finished the last step of our soul link. Our souls and destinies are now forever intertwined. Wherever you go, I will follow."
