《Stranger Than Fiction》Chapter 40: 25th Hour

Darkness.
Its STATE was damaged beyond repair. Multiple wreckages of constructed terrain were consuming large quantities of Anomalous Energy. Sudden spike in Monster Soul Prototype influx was alarming. Whatever intruder had invaded past its defenses, the Crypt of Fiendish Worms was finding it difficult to put it down.
This could be a MAJOR PROBLEM.
Invaders were a non-issue. NORMAL Invader Activity was essential to constant survival. Information from the Watchers indicated the presence of a He-Who-Consumes-Within. Conflicting observation, since no foreign Anomalous Energy was traced.
The Crypt of Fiendish Worms extended its awareness outwards. EXTERNAL ALTERATIONS negative, as usual. The land was soaked in ANTI-LIFE concepts.
Not consumable. Rejected.
It turned its gaze inward. Vital statistics showed the INNER LAYER bordering on NEARLY DESTROYED.
Intruder He-Who-Consumes-Within REMOVED Monster Prototype THOGGUA from SOUL CRYPT.
Intruder He-Who-Consumes-Within REMOVED Monster Prototype OROCORAN from SOUL CRYPT.
Intruder He-Who-Consumes-Within REMOVED Monster Prototype SEUGATHI from SOUL CRYPT.
Intruder He-Who-Consumes-Within REMOVED Monster Prototype NEOTHELID from SOUL CRYPT.
…
…
The list went on and on. This was OUTRAGEOUS.
He-Who-Consumes-Within was CONSUMING Monster rototypes from ITSELF, and the Crypt of Fiendish Worms was doing NULL. It could do NULL about it.
Unacceptable.
Unacceptable.
A wave of Anomalous Energy expanded outward from ITSELF, radiating from the crystals of the SOUL CRYPT.
Anomalous Energy Reflected
Anomalous Energy Absorbed
Neonate Anomaly Detected within Expansion Radius
PREDATOR Detected within Expansion Radius
Probability of Destruction of SOUL CRYPT = 47%
Unacceptable.
Utterly Unacceptable.
He-Who-Consumes-Within is a CONTRADICTION
PREDATOR is an AGGRAVATION
RECOMMENDATION
Instant-Termination of both Species.
Tempting recommendation. But Instant-Termination would require a forceful trigger of FAILSAFE.
Not recommended.
But…necessary.
Soul Crypt contraction was underway. Monster count had been drastically reduced. All Anomalous Expansions were on hold.
It was time for Instant-Termination.
Safety Off!
Initiate Extermination

The Essence of Cultivation
After experiencing five years of an adventurer's life, Arcanist Sylar Wershin now spends his days catching up on developments in Essence Studies and teasing apart the functions of arcane trinkets and artifacts discovered by him and his companions throughout their time travelling the realms of Resham. An unexpected accident during the study of his latest subject of intrigue, however, displaces him across the Planes beyond what any known spell is capable of achieving. Now finding himself lost in a realm rich in previously-limited Transcendental Essences, however, does he truly even want to return back to his old world? If nothing else, plagiarising - ahem, learning new spell structures by observing the local mages should prove entertaining. Sure, there were new dangers in this foreign world, but they wouldn't be anything a fancy bit of spellwork couldn't solve. Though, he would appreciate it greatly if someone could explain to him just what this 'cultivation' business was, why the local Mages were all muscle-brained freaks obsessed with immortality, and why they all seemed to lack any appreciation for the finer details of Essence manipulation. That would be nice.
