Peeking out from around a bend, Aria stalked behind Eric, doing her best to look as inconspicuous as possible. Though her sneaking drew curious glances, more than did it avoid them.
"Keep an eye out for any men with this," Eric said, pulling out an emblem, engraved upon it; a simple oak tree. "It's my...

Come morning, a tired demon stretched its weary form, rolling around in the sheets in its sleep throes. It kicked something which elicited a soft murmur. It was first when it cracked open a drowsy eye that it realized that its small foot was planted on a freckled cheek - a sleeping Aria's ch...

Sitting atop a shoddy straw bed, Aria sat cross-legged, a large and intricately marked tome splayed across her lap. Her focus so entrenched in it that she had not noticed the red little demon creep up under its hard leather bindings, a pair of beady eyes suddenly popping up over the top, e...

Across a vast skyline of white and blue, the celestial realm, Sol, in the heavens high above, cast its divine radiance.
Marbled buildings lined the cradle of mountains, exquisite architecture reached for the skies, and suits of gleaming silver armor and r...

Watching the retreating forms of the impecunious merchant and his lowlife goons, Eric rubbed a gash that had opened at the back of his head and the cut along his neck where he had been kissed by the rogue's blade. It really hadn't been clever to headbutt him with the back of his head, but Eric had nev...

Eric reacted without thinking, twirling around and landing a wild haymaker to the closest thug, knocking his lights out in an instant as he fell to the ground like a stiff board. Having drawn their attention to their fallen brethren, he yanked the wide-eyed Aria's hood back over her head only momen...

Whatever or whoever were traveling down the road, the procession had already gotten quite close to their motley group without their notice simply because of the rolling hills cutting the horizon short. "You have good eyes, is it a caravan?" Eric asked.
"I'm not sure... I see three wagons and aro...

Humans, elves, dwarves, gnomes, all of whom wield the power of classes, roles granted to us by the omnipotent Codex, to conjure forth immense power through the use of skills and mastery.

Chapter - 019
Upon the drawing of dawn, the motley party of one red impling, reticent hooded girl, and bastard lad, sat around the fire lighting up their own little corner of the world in the morning gloom of the Heartweald. On a makeshift spit, a couple of squirrels roasted, co...

During the fall of night, the commotion of men and carriages could be heard just outside the township of Aemsburg, waking the farmers and guards stationed by the fields just beyond the walls.

Dodging reaching branches and tripping roots, Eric rushed through the Heartweald, trying not to lose the girl and her imp. Fortunately for him, it wasn't long before he ran into a small clearing where he found the cloaked girl nursing her knee in obvious pain. She must've tripped and fallen...

- Doing PDF only rather than in-Post, saves me a lot of hassle and time - plus I can do a lot more in a document than I can in Patreon's post itself. (Custom aesthetics and readability)
What would you prefer? (24-hour poll)

Waking from a deep and pleasant slumber, the small demon stretched with a yawning squeak. But as it slowly noticed the muffled sobs from further away, the impling cracked open a sleepy eye, catching the back of a petite figure. It got to its feet from the soft grass it had laid on so...

"Shut it - you daft halfwit. You've never been to the Iron Gates, and we very well damn know it." A scruffy man remarked, outfitted in plain leather armor and a vest that did little to hide his gut.

The impling had followed them out and was now trying to clamper up the table, its eyes fixed on the pouch in Oren's vest with a bit of drool lining the corner of its mouth. The little demon was so focused on not alerting Oren, that it didn't realize the red pair of eyes staring at it.

It was dimly lit as no windows or holes made it possible for the setting light of the sun to come in. But from what the demon could see, it was a small room filled with rows of much bigger cages than the one it had been stuffed inside. The demon remembered hearing miserable voices coming from inside h...

The skittering of the small critter as it bounded from side to side rattled the small cage. Unenthusiastic, the impling just played with íts food, making the terrified rat squeak and scamper about the limited space.
