Epsilon Twilight

Book 1 ending in RR and SH

Hi there,

As the title says, Cultivating Plants has finally ended in Royal Road and Scribble Hub. As I said before, I'll take a week off.

As for other news, I have changed the name of t...

10. Culprit

“Where were we?” Rani said after sitting down on the throne. She had totally forgone the lazy laying position, instead opting out for a dignified straight sitting one. But one couldn’t deny b...

9. Princess

The figure sitting on the throne caused so many of Aloe’s brain cells to fry at the sight that the whiplash stunned her. Her eyes lingered across the room, trying to search for answers, but nothi...

8. Palace

“That’s right, let it all out,” Mirah whispered in Aloe’s ear as she patted her back and stroked her hair, the girl weeping lay defeated on her knees. “But try not to make a mess.” She ...

7. Cayora

Much to Mirah’s previous displeasure and wailing, she merrily rinsed Aloe’s hair. Aloe had told her that she didn’t need the help, that she felt better now, but the woman adamantly held her g...

6. Instinct

The instant Aloe’s feet touched the bath – warm and vaguely white water displacing around her ankle – she felt as if all the devils of the world vanished.

“Ah~” Aloe moaned as her b...

5. Shame

It took them more time than Aloe would have liked to arrive at the public baths, but unfortunately, her crotch didn’t precisely allow for movement. Forget sudden movements, the itch was so bad th...

4. Summon

“Damn, that’s quite the character,” Jafar said from the other side of the room.

“Character? I’ll give you character!” Aloe growled, a vein popping in her temple. “I wish that th...

3. Withstand

Tears kept pouring, Aloe couldn’t control herself, the pain had left her body totally numb. And even then, she kept feeling it. She wouldn’t even know she was still crying if it weren’t for t...

2. Pain

Pain awoke Aloe.

She tried to move but found herself restricted by a blanket. She tried to talk but found a knot in her throat. She just waited there dazed as the pain returned.

“Argh...

1. Nurture

This is the start of the second book: Cultivating Money.

Also, double length chapter, enjoy!

_______
The sun shone fiercely golden on Asina, yet a more powerful star outshone it.

Oops

So the first chapter of book two didn't get published for some godforsaken reason, whilst in Ko-fi it did, and no one told me about it!

Sigh...

Double chapter today, I guess?

Addendums

Addendums are optional, if spoiler heavy sections. Though I recommend reading the second one "Coinage".

Evolution

Yet again I find myself indagating on the d...

Book One Ending

For those who have yet not read the last chapter, it marks the ending of the first book. Tomorrow I'll publish an addendum (which is a bit shorter than the average chapter but, oh well)  that ...

62. Home

At first, Fikali started going slowly, she needed to fully wake up to pick up the pace. Such slowness had allowed Aloe to deactivate her internal ‘strength’ infusion without any issues, but eve...

61. Month

Days had run out.

In two days the month deadline she had set would be on her feet, and Aloe was already readying herself as she didn’t have much else to do. The irrigation system was set up...

60. Success

The answer was no.

The glass was, in fact, not usable.

Aloe tried everything to make the Myriad work. Maybe approach a bit of fire and the glass would become soft or break a piece of gl...

59. Myriad

A week left.

A month was the deadline that Aloe had imposed herself with. Born more out of physiological need rather than economic or time strains, she just now noticed how small of a margin ...

58. Automatization

Results were hard to come by. Not because the task itself was difficult, but because it was painfully slow. The cannabis was going to take a lot of time to germinate, days at best, so having a comp...

57. Reserves

Forty and a half banana trees. That was the vitality cost that Aloe would need to evolve and infuse all of the Flourishing Springs. When translating the cost into potatoes, the numbers became harde...

56. Irrigation

Aloe considered herself proficient in many tasks, not a lot, but enough. Mathematics, economics, writing, and... well, at least that was something. But waiting and patience weren’t in her skill s...

55. Flower

A righteous tall flower graced Aloe’s sight.

Righteous, the word felt more than appropriate for the straight and blue plant. In just a few hours after she went to sleep – albeit more than...

54. Drugs

Days and days of countless permutations went by. Aloe was far from being an apothecary, or anything, really. She tried every possible mixture of water and Aloe Veritas ink, but nothing worked out. ...

53. Budget

Progress was slow in the oasis, unlike time. That flew by at impossible speeds. Every time Aloe blinked a day seemed to pass by. Time was but a distorted mess. Much like her vision.

“Uoooh!...

52. Contagion

Yet another interlude, but please don't skip them if you want a cohesive reading. Alas, I can't control your actions.

51. Last

“Augh..” Aloe panted heavily as she fanned her shirt. It was too open for her liking, but she couldn’t care right now. That was her level of exhaustion.

She whipped the sweat out of her...

50. Strength

Aloe wielded the knife in her hand with uncertainty. Her inner vitality flow had changed, but she wasn’t sure if to make this.

“I need more tea before doing this.” Drugs, as it would se...

49. Toughness

Aloe started by meditating. Though this time she didn’t get undressed. Introspection was a useful tool when dealing with vitality as it allowed her to detect it more clearly. Isolating her senses...

48. Sprout

Description: An evolved member of the Nigella Sativa species, a species known for its ability to survive with mana alone and sprout streams of water.

Many questions bloomed i...

47. Flourishing

“Ugh...” A groan left Aloe’s mouth as she woke up. She guided her hand to her head, her thoughts ridden with confusion. “W-what happen-“

Her words were cut off as her stomach and th...
