Well, tablet troubles anyhow.
Short version is: I have one chapter of Mystic Ink and three chapters of A Broken World all done for you folks, but the old tablet I was using has decided to be difficult.
I'll be getting it back first thing in the morning from the shop and publishing all of them as soon as I can!
Sorry for t...

Cass had, at the knight’s request, at least let him attempt negotiation- but there was something far more satisfying about having her hand at her enemy’s throats. The guards reacted late, and a slight squeeze had the mages calling out.
“Stop! Don’t come near!” The cool voice was now tinged with pani...

“Honestly, I am rather disappointed.” Cass grumbled as the body was hauled away. “He talked a much bigger game than he could handle, I was just getting warmed up.”
Cass failed to notice that everyone around her was wide eyed and edging away carefully- as one might when confronted with an animal that they wo...

Much to Cass’s surprise there was not an attack that night. She slept straight through the entire night, making her the only person in the camp to get a full night's sleep. The soldiers, even those not on watch, had trouble falling asleep given what they knew could be prowling about in the forest and the five peasants ...
2019-04-22 00:15:48 +0000 UTC View PostSorry for the delay, found some continuity errors in the chapters and had to figure out where I put my notes over the past few months. Took a lot longer than I thought it would, but I have my hands on them now!

Cass examined the area well, but the reality is that she did not really have the training to ...

“Thank you for your patronage!” Areius bowed deeply as the customer left the shop, not remotely disturbed that the customer did not bother to acknowledge his thanks. It was far better, he had learned, not to be acknowledged at all in the grand scheme of things. The reason why Areius thought this…

Where… Am I?
Instinctively, I realize that is the wrong question. I cannot know where I am, because this is nowhere incarnate. There is nothing here to be a where- and that is a problem. I examine the emptiness that surrounds me for a moment before turning my attention to myself.

The first answer he got was to a question he had not asked out loud. No, the carriage did not work well over and through the grassland that made up this island. Being bounced around would have been bad enough at the best of times, but Lucas had to be careful not to hit his shoulder as well and the ...

It was dark, but Lucas could see pinpricks of light through the gaps in the threads of the rough cloth hood that he suddenly found over his head. The ground was hard and cold under him, his arms and legs were restrained, and there were loud and confusing noises echoing throughout a seemingly large space. A hand roughly p...

If a person possessed the wings of a bird, and a constitution capable of handling the thin, frigid, air and they flew high into the sky. Far enough that the ruins of the city directly below them could not be distinguished as ruins at all and their breath was frost as soon as it left their lungs, and they observed the land befo...

There was a different atmosphere among the soldiers on the front line. Not a simple one either, it was quite complex as one would expect given recent events. On one hand, despite the strong push that the demon’s had suddenly made, human lands had never been more secure. But on the other hand, the ac...

“An ogre!? Are you sure?” I ask Core, more than a little surprised at the fact that the goblins were able to get one of those brutes to work with them. Ogres do not generally serve anything other than even stronger ogres- and even then it was unwillingly and with only when under direct threat of force.
“Its s...

I had a decent idea of how I would handle the goblins when they reached the second floor. The staircase from the first floor to the second floor would serve as a chokepoint that could be held by some of my new heavy melee creations and bombarded by liches from the back line. Even though they are individually weaker than Ajax, c...
2018-05-31 13:25:39 +0000 UTC View PostCass had thought she had gotten used to luxury, having been rather pampered by Lord Hall and given her own rather impressive quarters. She had heard that, aside from the Imperial Quarters, the Imperial Center in Tyine was more functional than not. Built for defense first and comfort second, and many nobles rather disliked to stay there ...

The goblins were surging into the dungeon in an unending flood, and being cut down just as quickly. While individually weak, the sheer numbers would overwhelm most opponents- or at the very least exhaust them as they fought for hours and hours or even days. Except, the narrow entrance of the dungeon and the winding mountain pat...

Lucas could only compare this feeling to when he had been stung by the High Spider- it was a rush, a high. Once, decades ago, the child Lucas had desired magic. He researched all that he could find and tested them out one by one, and was disappointed. From there, Lucas had turned to science. If he could not ...
2018-05-18 12:06:29 +0000 UTC View PostIt was not so much a forest as a woods, it was not sizeable enough to deserve the descriptor ‘forest,’ but if there was going to be an ambush it would happen when they traveled through here. But still, even when the leather wearing, masked, thugs stepped on to the path, Cass could not quite believe it. Hell, she did not really belie...

“The scouts report the same ‘bad air’ can be found to the west as well,” one of the Widow’s officer spiders reported. “We were able to spot the same plants at those locations too, much as you suggested we would.”

I would call it a city, but the goblins tents and shacks and muddy paths did not really give that impression. It was more like a giant camp, or perhaps a giant dump.

I have changed my mind about the Dungeon Master class- it is most evidently the greatest class in existence. Why? Because it allowed me to take the decorational necropolis palace suite and make it fully functional. It stands to reason that the master of a dungeon would need a place to sleep after all! Plus, a few s...

After a great deal of effort, it was finally time to create the Floor Boss for the first floor and begin work on the second floor. As I had thought, the Dungeon Master class made it very easy to control Core’s monsters outside the dungeon and the work went relatively fast. I was still unsure how to feel about my new class, b...
