I woke up on Monday morning to a flood of notifications and messages.
So I turned around and hugged Lucy closer and pretended that I hadn’t seen anything.
Unfortunately, my brain was made of studpid, and after seeing that number of messages waiting for me, I couldn’t quite get...

I rode my bike to work the next day, which was extremely satisfying. No waiting for the bus, plus I could slip into a drive through whenever I wanted for breakfast, and I still arrived at work ten minutes earlier than if I’d taken the bus.

I didn’t expect us to actually encounter pirates.
Like, sure, we joined the convoy explicitly to avoid pirates. That was one of the major reasons the convoy even existed in the first place--though there were a few other advantages. But still, I didn’t expect pirates to be an i...

I had the MEOW leap over a fallen tree while Princess took potshots at the aliens trailing after us. They’d come out of the woodworks, kind of literally, as we ran away from the hive. I figured we were mostly dealing with the Antithesis that had ranged out and away from the hive and who ha...

Once, some two generations ago, a wandering elder of what was then a small but humble sect of young men merely looking to improve themselves came across something strange in the Steppes.

I fired one last shot of the 155 into the ground, just to be sure. The resulting explosion shook the entire area, trees trembled, and the earth around and behind the hive’s hole kicked up, rising a foot or two before crashing back down.
I figured the impact was much worse in the ...

Made some minor changes to previous chapters... or one minor change. Becky now has wi-fi within the portal. This is maybe not that minor, actually.
Next one should be the last. And I'm happy for it, because I'm not pleased with this mini-arc. I made some silly mistakes with the goblin dungeon arc and it soured it a bit. ...

I'm about to make a proper post about it... but Save Scumming is live on Royal Road! Legit though, if you want to help the story along a bit, consider following it there, or leaving a review? It would help a lot! I'd really like to see Save do well with a bigger audience, and... well, it's free?

This was only the second time the Beaver had ever had to fly in formation, and the first time had been with a bunch of sylph navy personnel onboard, helping to keep him nice and steady in the air. 2025-07-30 06:41:53 +0000 UTC View Post
