Backrooms 3: Kiosk Kingdom - Chapter 54 - 56

Hey everyone! So here are three more chapters -- the final lull before the storm, so to speak. The rest of the chapters for book 3 are finished. I can post them tomorrow, if y'all want, but the catch is that once I post those, it'll probably be a few weeks before I post anything else, Discount Dan related.

I've go...

Hey everyone, we're onto a new level and I've got three chapters coming at you like a fastball to the teeth. Hope you enjoy the heck out of 'em.

In other news, I was talking with a couple of other authors (Michael Chatfield and Dakota Krout), who both have pretty successful Patreon platforms and they had some great...

Backrooms 3: Kiosk Kingdom - Updated Research Inquiry

Hey everyone! So Nilbog, made an excellent comment, asking why Dan would select the Cendral File to review, instead of reading the VRD report on humanity. It was a great point. Dan would absolutely be more interested to find out why the VRD were scooping up humans. So I rewrote the section. I'm not going to post the whole chapter, but he...

Okay, I've got three more chapters coming at you. Also, I finally did some spreadsheet updates, Nilbog. You are 100% right, I accidentally applied the boost that should've gone to Toughness to Grit instead. I've already gone back and updated her sheet with the corrected values--good eye and good catch.

Hey, y'all! Been busy, busy, busy working on new Discount Dan chapters. I've got three new chapters coming at you. Hope you enjoy them. Also Nilbog, can you ask your question about Temperance again -- I know it's in one of the comments somewhere, but I can't remember where exactly. I've got some extra time today, so I'll get it answered ...

Backrooms 3: Kiosk Kingdom - Chapter 26 - 27

Hey everyone! So this was originally one chapter. At just under 5K it was a little too long for a normal chapter, so I split it. But now the chapters are just a little on the short end, so I opted to post them together (they were done after all, so I figured why not). That's it for now. Hope you enjoy.

Minor Update to Discount Dan Chapter 25

Hey y'all. This isn't a new chapter, but I added a short scene to chapter 25 that will relevant in the next chapter. I'm not going to post the entire chapter again, but rather just the small updated portion with a little bit of the surrounding context.

Chapter Twenty-Three – Relic Forge

I introduced Ajax to Sinclair and gave my Cannon Fodder Minion a quick rundown on the new management arrangements, then left the two of them in the Arcade to plan and scheme while I headed out to round up the others. They were all loitering in front of the Arcade and Temperance still se...

Chapter Twenty-Two – Under New Management

After six hours of tossing and turning, I woke up feeling only slightly better than when I’d crashed. My stump still burned like a UTI, and overall I felt like I was coming off a rough hangover—head heavy, joints stiff, mood worse. Still, there was progress. The skin around t...

Chapter Twenty-One – Fresh Horrors

I came to on the cold floor of the pharmacy, cheek pressed against the linoleum. My arm was a cauterized stump—angry, red-edged, and still smoking slightly.

Croc was beside me.

Chewing.

Chapter Nineteen – The Jaral’s Offer

Wulfgar led us through the winding streets of Kringlegard at a brisk pace, cutting between houses and market stalls with the confidence of someone who knew exactly which alleys wouldn’t get you mugged. The villagers gave us a wide berth, some watching with open curiosity, others p...

I summoned the Rat Pack to help round up corpses, then we set to work, pilfering what we could while the night pressed down on us.

Chapter Seventeen – Into the Frying Pan

A guttural bark pierced the night, and they came at us in a mad rush. A stampede of fur and fangs barreled forward, kicking up powdery snow as they charged like an avalanche. They were massive, easily the size of the Kannibal Kids from the twenty-fourth floor, but beefier—thick w...

Hey everyone, sorry this post is a little late. I was at another work conference, though I can't complain too much, since this particular conference was in Aruba.

After the last of the fireworks faded, we headed back to the store, and I slept for a solid eight hours, untroubled by nightmares or any dreams at all.

Discount Dan Chapter 7 - Rewrite

Hey everyone, a bunch of the folks over on RoyalRoad didn't particularly like the way Dan handled the Brownie situation and after thinking about it for a bit, I realized they had some valid points. It felt like Dan was being stupid and trying to rush through the encounter instead of actually trying to help.

I slipped past the arcane dome of protection and activated Spike Fault, this time calling up shafts of rocky stone directly beneath Uncle Sam’s feet. The Dweller howled as the earthen spears shredded his legs—one even driving right into his groin. I had no idea what Uncle Sam was packin...
