This feeling gave Ryu a feeling of weight that went beyond just his body. He felt as though he was wielding an energy countless leagues beyond Bronze Resonance Qi, just in terms of heft and density, it was impossible even to compare the two.
But what was especially mystical about it was the fact that Ryu didn't feel as though the power came from his body. It was as though he was accessing a strength that was beyond the limits of himself, extending beyond a reasonable time and space.
It took him a while to understand even with the current strength of his mind. But after a while, Ryu realized that it was exactly because of that. The laws of the world had a looser restriction on him all of sudden. He wasn't moving and acting through distortions anymore, his strength, his qi, his power, were all as pure as they came, even the source itself extended beyond the current realm around him, he ground beneath his feet and the skies above his head.
There will only be one chapter today. These last two months have been quite hectic and we're in the final stretch now. Come August, we should push ahead stronger than ever.
Starting the week of the 17th, I will only be able to upload one chapter a day for at least a week, potentially longer, but I will try to keep it as short as possible (I'll also be using a leave of absence on the 17th, so no chapters that day). The (semi) good news is that these chapters will be at least 15-1600 words in order to sustain win-win, so just a bit short of two chapters. The bad news is, obviously, that there'll only be one of them.
The reason for this is that I'll be moving into my new home starting that day. This is the first time I'm moving out of my parents' home since college so I have a lot of stuff to prepare and just the lawyer/insurance/broker/paperwork/bank stuff is drowning me, not to mention the work it'll actually take to move and set everything up.
After we leap over this hurdle, DD will come back stronger than ever, and hopefully even better now that I'll have my own space and freedom to be as creative as I want.
Thanks everyone for the support! I don't say it enough but writing for a living is truly a dream job, and not a day goes by that I don't remember that. I'll go into this new chapter with a smile on my face for sure, no pun intended, lmao <3
