Slight Delay

Today's chapter will be slightly delayed. I'll upload it on Monday along side another chapter to make up for last week's missing chapter upload. 

Really sorry about the sporadic uploads. Exams weeks are quite rough :/

My last exam is on 8th May, which is Sunday, after which I'll be home so uploads should go back to normal by that point. 

17 — End of the Month

A/N: This chapter was difficult to write. At first I thought it would only be 3,000 words, but it somehow kept growing and growing untill it got all the way to 5,000. I'm not sure if I did this one chapter right, and I may redo it and change some things, do let me know what you think.

16 — Combat Magic

A/N: So, I think this chapter will likely get one more scene added to it. Maybe. But for now, here it is!

It had taken a week for Rumina to get her hands on the information, and the details behind Loux Nekrot had taken Jennifer by surprise. As she made her way towards the Academy grounds, Jennifer ...

15 — Scampi Tails

Next Chapter → 

After quite some thinking, Jennifer had decided not to share anything about the invasion or her Mark to either her Master or Rumina. She wasn’t sure who was listening and how far the demons had ears but her last death had informed her plenty to know that she wasn’t safe even just letting the information slip.

?? — A Strange Encounter

A/N: My exams are DONE!! Also, I noticed that it was 1st April and couldn't help myself. Enjoy! (Actual chapter will be out probably this sunday)

Jennifer walked through the streets of Lienmont, trying to dodge the burning rays of the midday sun that showered upon her with vengeance. The city itself was in the central plains of Zweiril, but she often felt the climate not much better than the southern deserts in how warm it got during the summer months.

She walked, going from shade to shade provided by the buildings be...

Art for Jennifer!

I got some art! I can't believe it took me this long before I got some. She looks... not much like how I envision her, but this image also sorta grew on me. Behold, anime MC Jenn! 

Also, if anyone would be kind enough to leave a review on RR I'd really appreciate that. The story is on Rising stars, and any reviews and so on would help push it on the list.

14 — Hidden Clues

A/N: Sorry for the late chapter, this one took me a bit. Both due to moving into the college dorm and because there was a fair bit to piece together. The chapter will likely go through another editing pass, but for now, here it is!

Moving Out

I'm finally moving out to my college tomorrow, and it's been a crazy busy week. Chapters should be posted as normal, but catching up to the 10 chapter ahead for the gold tier may take a couple extra weeks. I'll try my best, I've got the next few chapters ready but there needs to be  a few extra chapters that need to be added in between and I can't say if I'll get the time to write more than one in the next week.

The story is also on Rising stars! So if anyone would like to leave a review, now would be the time. If you're waiting...

A/N: Changes have been made to the second half of this chapter. Story takes a different direction.

A pulsing rush of excitement filled Jennifer’s heart as she walked up the hill, following the neatly brick road that led to the Academy’s ground. The place she’d dreamt to join on her goal to becoming an [Encha...

Mark of Time — Release on Royal Road!

Mark of Time — Truth Seeker's new name — will be released on RR by March 1st, at worst within the first week of March. I've got  enough chapters setup and I've come up with all the plans so I'll be finally re-releasing the story!

But, to do that, I also need to edit all the current chapters and add roughly anywhere from 3-4 chapters in the already existing number of chapters as some of the plot has been changed, and events progress differently.

So, sadly, there won't be any chapter this week, possibly next week either...

Table of Contents

I've made a table of contents for easy access of the chapters. The story has also been renamed to "Mark of Time" and the chapters are now in the range of 5,000 to 8,000 words.

Changes to Chapters

So, after quite some thinking, I've decided to make a change to the current chapters, notably their length, and how often I'll be uploading them.

Previous  chapters, (the 25 of them that're here right now) will be combined into larger chapters of around 5k to 7k words from the previous 2k to 3k words. The chapter count, as such, will be going down to 14 chapters.

I also need to make some few edits to the earlier chapters for the sectioning off to make sense. And so I'll be uploading the next chapter on Sundays.

Jennifer couldn’t tell how many hours it’d been since the council had arrived, but it felt like many. She watched the magic flicker, as the various figures vanished from the chambers one after the other with the talks finally ending. The two mages took a seat, Nathaniel stumbling onto his.

There were only a few members ...

Irwys SIlveran was in a bad mood. A frequent occurrence, ever since he’d met the new Mark. The [Royal Knight] walked through the guild pathways, keeping his frown in check as he passed by the dozens of adventurers that crowded every inch of the guild in recent days. He’d failed to anticipate just how many people would rush towa...

Jennifer flipped through a thick leatherbound, studying the chronomancy spell matrices that she saw within the book. It had been almost a couple of days since she’d started her training with Viel, and Jennifer had started to frequent the guild library during the period. It was still odd, how she had gotten used to associating w...

Guild head Zaress Keinor paced around his office. Lightning licked his graying hair, filling the air with the scent of ozone as the powerfully built man stood beside his desk with a frown.

Reports regarding the dungeon shift filled his table, as message spells after message spells chimed in his office from the various [Mercha...

An image flickered within a dark chamber, carried upon wispy mist. It showed the picture of a young girl, standing in a chamber full of adventurers and fumbling with her words. The sight had a smile tug at the prince’s face as he watched the scene through his knight’s eyes.

The threads of fate shifted under the eternal th...

The summer sun hung brightly in the sky as Jennifer walked towards her friend’s shop. It had been five days since she’d told her master about everything, and with each passing day she found her magic changing.

Jennifer moved her mana, forming a glass shard on her palm. With little effort, she managed to propel the glass a...

Sunlight poured through the window in Jennifer’s room. With a jerk, she opened her eyes, wiping drool off of her face. She looked around with blurry eyes, confused about where she was when she realized that she’d nodded off somewhere along the way. The last memory she had was going through another one of her books, as the sun h...

A sharp spike of pain through Jennifer’s shoulder as her eyes shot open.

“No! Stop- Argh” Jennifer tumbled, clutching her arm. Her mana pathways burned as if on fire, and the worst headache of her life assailed her. She’d almost overdrawn.

No, it was worse than overdrawing. Way, way worse. My body h...
