Construction Mage - Chapter 18: Decompression
Google Docs LinkMy Lord,I implore you to increase the amount of first-aid training for the recruits. Potions and healers are most effective, but we do not have enough of either of them.

Construction Mage - Chapter 17: Dangers of Delving

The Science of Cultivation - Chapter 302: Kan Wuji’s Inheritance

No Chapter Today
Sorry everyone, I've been getting pretty busy with life and have been overwhelmed recently, and I've decided I don't want to force it to keep up, as that reduces my sleep time or pushes my schedule later and later. That means I won't be able to put out a chapter for the next 2-3 days while I get things in order.I know this sucks, it isn't what I want either, but I'd rather not risk burning out. As a result, I'm considering scheduling some admin time off like some of m...

The Science of Cultivation - Chapter 299: Heavenly Water

The Science of Cultivation - Chapter 297: Illusions
Google Docs LinkIllusions were something humanity had experienced since prehistoric times.
