Here's a not so brief log of my recent activity, feel free to skip:
-Plan to get a headstart on traveling to attend a Birthday™ and Thanksgiving™
-Plan a release on both Patreon and Royalroadl before leaving
-Discover that Royalroadl is down on the day of the previously planned release thereby delaying the releas...
Light broke over the fortified camp, revealing numerous corpses of dead soldiers. The forces under Fox’s command had begun digging a mass ve as morning set in. Only after the installation was secure would civilians be allowed to enter.
“So, what do we do with him?” Hawk asked, nudging the quivering General Kent with his boot.&n...

“Uh… what the fuck are you doing?” Alexandra asked bluntly.
The demonic rapier had found itself at my feet. With a thought, the penumbra emerged and wrapped its shadowy fingers around the weapon before slowly recoiling b...
2019-11-07 08:41:46 +0000 UTC View PostThe realization struck me cleanly as we made our way over the extended drawbridge, an admirable construction that remained sturdy beneath the waves of heat that threatened to draw life from us.
Ruins were self-contained spaces, little loops that reset quite often. Unless they went untouched, then, eventually, they’d spill over and releas...
2019-11-07 08:35:26 +0000 UTC View PostCasper met the Hell Knights without reservation. His body moved like a gust of wind, while his blood spear continued to rotate. With the miasmic flame adorning the spear’s tip, it was more than enough to deal with the legion of monsters forming in front of him.
With a step forward, he shifted the momentum of the rotating spear and ...

A single word could describe the climate into the infamous ruin and it was the most fitting.
The expansive cavern sported lava waterfalls, crooked towers of stone, bat-like creatures flying through the air and just a general air of…– well, hellishness.
Geysers of fire hissed, spewing flames upward while the river...

Matthew groaned as he began to recollect the events of the previous night. A friend of a friend invited him to an outing and he went along. It was a pretty standard get together, but an extremely attractive man accompanied by similarly beautiful men and women invited him back to an “after-party” of sorts.
From there,...

Disappointment wasn’t quite the word that fit, but it felt close to how I felt now. I knew very well that the penumbra no longer had the same appetite it once did, but never did I imagine that piling all of the artifacts I gathered from my fights with New Era would fail to make it move even slightly. Recalling it was attached to m...

Firstly, I'm terribly sorry for the delay, but I have good news!
I wanted to attempt to upload 20 chapters in October and then 20 more in November, with a new chapter going up every day. That clearly didn't turn out well, but the chapters meant for October are already written. (Mostly MM and TR, but a few of TWP are being ...

Standing alone in alleyway nestled between two buildings, a figure with a bag slung over his shoulder toiled away in the shadows. His hands moved, painting a brick wall with some strange substance.
“Hey!” A man wearing several rings shouted at the vandal. “Hey, old man?! Fuck off, would you?”
“Old man?” Caspe...

2019-09-23 04:26:40 +0000 UTC View PostI chipperly ate away at a pile of junk food while Alexandra tapped her foot not too far away. Oliver was free of the Drachen Arch’s control, but his condition was unstable. The arch helped preserve the physical condition of those who were in it, in addition to both Oliver and me having gifts that bolstered vitality. The problem occurred when O...

Somewhere in Great Britain.
An old man sauntered forward, pushing open the rusted door of a chamber, keeping a solemn frown as the metal hinges groaned.
As light entered the room, a dust-covered, circular, table was revealed. Inscribed in its surface was a fading mural of knights. At the head of each seat, th...

I had achieved another milestone in my 'ascent' to the peak, rather than it being an observable achievement, it was better described as gaining enlightenment.
Before separating my lifeblood, I read all sorts of documents that pertained to the soul itself. It was only now could I say I finally began to understand some of...

Penelope didn’t take it to heart, or, she tried not to. She couldn’t help but think her years of relative isolation caused...

Black crows with red-tipped feathers descended from the sky before a human-figured was revealed. His body was covered in plates of ivory that protruded from his skin, covering each individual muscle like a protective shell. The bone mask protecting his face revealed a set of familiar eyes.

I was met with scenes of my previous fights, nearly all of them and I couldn’t help but frown, especially when I witnessed myself wielding blood, I could see where I grew and gained experience, sure, but there was no discipline, maybe? No, I guess Oliver would say control. Something I agreed with as I thought the very same before....

Oliver Hallworth, I looked at him once more. His soul was… odd. Activating my Spirit Vision showed a soul that continued to blink, alternating between a blinding radiance and a dim flicker. Since I had never seen a soul as indecisive and strange as his, I had trouble placing it.
Alexandra had recounted me with a story ...

Gaining insight into the element of air was no small thing. I didn’t just gain a sense of power, but rather, a feeling that was almost indescribable.
Air represented freedom, it was an expansive force of nature that, when given direction, could become immensely destructive. The nature of a gaseous substance was to expand, no...

Brodir entered a tent under the watchful gazes of the tribe members. Fear and caution fell over them as they eyed him, but he didn’t pay any attention to them.
Throwing open the tent flap, Brodir was met with the image of his son, Jorgun, beaten and broken.

We were guided into an encampment which featured a gathering of hide and cloth tents. Most of the bloodhorn were corralled into a sturdy cage made from fallen trees and logs. I rested within the center of the panicked Bloodhorn who let out aggressive cries, breathing wildly as fear and panic took hold.

The phantom heart was slowly forming within me, its empty yet ever-present weight could be felt in my chest. It wasn’t there physically, but as it took shape, it felt like it was manifesting in a corporeal form. Paired with the faint feeling of the miasmic essence resting in blood stream, my body felt s...

There were two lookouts posted at the front entrance of the factory. Their presence served as a big deterrent to any curious individuals and if someone stronger were to appear, they at least could delay the intruders and warn anyone inside.

Sunny stood outside as the sun began to set. A cold wind blew over the apartment complex, but she seemed unbothered by it.

Hardly thirty minutes had gone by before we ended up at some restaurant. Alexandra ordered me some food, took a phone call, and then returned. I couldn’t see what she was thinking under her sunglasses, but she didn’t appear to be disturbed.

During the day, most predators were asleep, no doubt saving their energy for their nightly hunts. I found it strange seeing that there was an obvious balance. It was rare to see those large wolves roaming outs...

I began consuming unthinkable amounts of vegetation as I pushed deeper into the wilderness. The discovery of new species left me speechless, not that I could actually speak. Large birds sporting a bright plumage as colorful as the rainbow itself. Boars the size of small cars and hares the size of toddlers. There were even ants that ...
