Hey everyone! It’s been a while since you’ve all heard from me, so I figured it was time to finally break the silence. I’ve wanted to for a while actually, but never wanted it to be a “yup, still alive, still going through it, still figuring things out” type message. It’s taken until now for me to have some concrete news I c...

Undead are to be pitied. They are creatures perpetually stuck in the past, reaching for the hei...

Velrick wasn’t the type of man to waste his efforts. For that matter, he wasn’t the type to spend much effort at all and would rather use his limited time in this body getting more sleep than spending it in servic...
Once, beneath a sky that cycled evenly between night and day, within a valley untouched by the mists of lost souls or the scourge of undead, sat the town of D’lorn. A lively place, with a river of crystine water that dripped from its northern mountains and a great mansion that crested its highest point. Each morning, house wives would do their...
2024-06-05 07:03:48 +0000 UTC View PostHeeeey, this is a quick update post to correct some accidental misinformation. But unless you read chapter 18's after-chapter update before this was posted, you can disregard that part. I figure a separate post for this might also help get it some visibility for those who need to see this.
In short, I forked up.
I just said that I...
Quick Authors Note:
I’ve changed a minor character’s name, but to mention it here would be a spoiler. Will elaborate at the bottom, but if something feels off when you get there, that’s why. Sorry for the wait, and please enjoy!

Hey ya'll. This one's not going to be a fun post to make so I'm gonna keep it short for my own sake. But frankly, I've been discovering a pattern in my writing. Each chapter now, it seems, or perhaps just these upcoming ones, there's been decisions I've had to make that will affect countless variables of the story down the line. Whether it's Ale...
2024-05-08 05:18:03 +0000 UTC View PostHey guys, sorry for the late notice but there won't be a chapter this week. I'm almost done with chapter 18 but I think I'm going to keep this chapter as personal backlog rather than releasing it, as there's many aspects to it that I still need to consider or I want to sleep on. And in general my chapters come out more polished/thought out when ...
2024-04-30 11:46:30 +0000 UTC View PostAlex didn’t feel the warp of space as he was summoned. Instead he was simply in one place one moment, and somewhere entirely different the next. Normally, instantaneous transport like that might leave him nauseas and dizzied, but it spoke of Nightmare’s exorbitant budget that there was none of that.
Regardless, his mind spun.

Uern, Dykriest Region
3 Weeks before System Reset.
For a planet so rich in mana and essence, the underground cities of Dykriest lived far from prosperously. The region’s surface—frigid and uninhabitable—wouldn’t terraform until the 100th layer of ...
2024-04-20 06:25:36 +0000 UTC View PostHey Guys!
Last of these types of posts I’ll be making for a lil bit, I swear, but listen up cause this one’s pretty important (and it’ll be as long-winded as usual, so my resident TLDR readers, if you exist, please look at the text in bolded brackets. Then at the art).
First and foremost, for those of you wondering where th...
2024-04-19 10:54:36 +0000 UTC View PostThe Pool scene in Seattle hadn’t been anything so grand like what you’d find further out into the country or even in shit-hole Orange County, but when a place did have a table you could always count on finding someone on the other side of it. The bar Cameron worked at had been like that, and Alex and a few others had often ling...

Sorry to be coming out the gates with some bummer news today, but there won't be a chapter this Tuesday unfortunately. Yall've been giving a whole lot of support, and I've seen a ton of comments on the last chapter that's made me feel really happy and confident in myself, so thank you for reading this far.

No, not strange. Wrong.

2024-04-07 00:04:13 +0000 UTC View PostHey yall, just in case you haven't seen my post before this, I had to make one or a few retcons to chapter 12 unfortunately that might add more context to this chapter, so I'd suggest checking that out first. Sry :c
Enjoy!

I'll be working on formatting it through Patreon's pain in the arse client as you're seeing this, so it should be up shortly.

2024-04-02 21:59:11 +0000 UTC View PostAlex felt surprised by his own actions. He wasn’t the type to take unneeded risks, neither was he the type to rush into battle blindly. And even now, his mind was running precise calculations on his chances of victory and just when he’d need to run, playing catch up with his decisions over the last few seconds.
But what he didn...

2024-03-29 17:29:57 +0000 UTC View PostIt’d been close to thirty minutes since the Scenario had started, and the effort Alex had put forth in dividing the undead’s attention—though it had led nowhere, showed clear results now. He watched the house containing the cellar from where he hid in the shadows. And despite the house’s relative proximity to the plaza, there were much l...
