Incursion Empire ch. 10

Chapter Ten

Outside of the cave the world was still changing. Shifting colors speared across the night sky, violet, emerald, blue, red, and a thousand in between. Virgin snow reflected the light to cast eerie shades upon the trees. A howl rose up and crossed the thin forest, making the hairs on the back of Dane’s next to...

Each of the F-Grade cores were nothing more than small chips of bloody red stone that fit inside of his palm. Kon sat next to his pile with his right hand inches from it as he gripped the core tightly. Unlike the D-Grade core which had ripped him apart as if rushed through his body, he almost had to work to get the e...

Dull claws ran up his arm, digging painful welts across his bicep but failing to pierce flesh. Kon twisted his hips and threw the beast behind him and down the hill, its scream of anger loud as it bounced downward and off rocks. Sweat trickled in his eyes and his chest heaved as he sucked in great gulps of air as his...

“No screaming. Guess nothing went wrong,” Alice said as she walked up to him silently. Kon jumped halfway up as his heart rate tripled in an instant. Her mean smile was all he needed to see to realize she had done it on purpose. 

“All quiet,” Kon confirmed.

“Let’s change that, shall we? I�...

Incursion Empire Ch. 9

Chapter Nine

Natives ran around in blind panic as waves of mana crashed through the world. Icy white snow reflected a sudden aurora that lit across the night sky as mana interacted violently with the newly integrated world. Dane limped through the chaos, his prisoner status forgotten, desperate to get out of the enemy war ...

A/N: We are now at 12 chapter ahead of RR. I go back to posting on RR on Monday so we'll get back to having regular updates! Thanks for sticking with me while I caught up.

They walked down the middle of the street as if they didn’t have a care in the world. The unconscious [Mortician] still seated over Santi’...

Kon woke with a start as he jackknifed upward, ignoring the strain of the movement. His eyes swept the dark confines, finding nothing of note, before looking over to where Alice sat. The woman was hunched over by the corner of the cave she had found and had deepened with a few blows of her axe and a bit of digging.&nb...

Chapter Eight 

It was like being submerged into the depths of the ocean, pressure, darkness, and cold that assaulted his mind. There was no way to breath, his chest constricted as the alien smothered his mind. It traipsed through his memories like it was a book, ripping and tearing apart his past with gaudy amusement....

The first of the rift beasts ripped itself free of the metal forest with a roar that rattled Kon’s bones as a toothy maw stared down at them. Nearly twelve feet tall and covered in scales of shifting colors, its conical teeth were yellow and an aroma of rotting meat and death rolled across Kon and Alice. Tears fille...

Incursion Empire Ch. 7

Chapter Seven 

Warmth flooded the tent that Dane’s captors dragged him into, filling every nook and cranny with prickling heat. Frozen flesh began to thaw, his chattering teeth the only noise as one of his captors kneeled in front of him, holding out a three pronged machine that had glowing golden lights on it. The ...

Heat started to build inside of the pod, sweat rolled down his neck and back as a rumble began to shake him. Sensors and cameras showed the thick mass of clouds moments away from consuming his pod. Alice’s pod hit the storm and disappeared, stricken from the sensors as Kon held tight to the handles on his sea...

Chapter Six

Xeroc ducked under the horizontal slash, the training blade parting the air above his head. He stepped in to his opponent, catching the smaller man with a shield bash to his chest. Dillon grunted in pain, air whooshing from his chest as he staggered a step back. The referee blew a short whistle to signify the p...

25.

Victoria’s visit that next morning had been brief. She arrived in a swirl of activity, maids followed behind her with platters of food, and Erak had been forced to sit and eat as he was talked at. Numbers, strategies, and recaps of the situation all flowed over his head as he sat there nodding at the Queen. More and ...

Knight Roose leapt at the invader in a blur of speed, a trail of violet fire trailing behind her. The wolf met her with a howl; his black axe split the air at waist height while azure energy covered it. Alice bent at the waist, upper body parallel to the ground, and then kicked straight up with her leg. Her bare heel c...

Chapter Five 

Bark exploded in a spray of shrapnel that peppered his face as he jerked his head back just in time to prevent himself from dying. The Aji-Abami scouts were circling around him, trying to pin him down. Arrows were flitting through the trees in the late dusk, scout teams all around the area chasing after ...

24.

“It couldn’t have been that hard to get all this. You were only gone for a day or so,” Snowbeard said, a sly smile crossing his broad face as he stared up at Erak. The pile of coldforged iron sat between them and the dwarf had finally ripped his gaze away from the metal to tease the big warrior. Pomp leapt onto t...

Chapter Four

Clouds of mist rose from him as he woke, his breath stirring across the small space he had dug for himself. A shiver racked him, body trembling violently as he coughed once then twice. The coals had died in the cold, the firepit left filled with ash and nothing else. 

With a few quick moves he scooped most of his be...

Mage Steel: Ch. 1

ONE

Klaxons screeched as Kon raced along the narrow walkway, the heavy emergency duffel bag bounced off his back with each desperate stride. Rumbles shook the ship as the pulse cannons fired again and again. One part of his mind noticed that each salvo had slightly less shots fired than the last. He pushed the negative tho...

23.

Sammus’s wounds were bound with the remnants of his own shirt, a sling made to keep his arm propped up. While the prince’s stats weren’t geared toward durability, the wounds weren’t life threatening. Nevia had a few lesser wounds that didn’t take as long to dress, but she was more exhausted. Both of them lay ...

Incursion Empire Ch. 3

Chapter Three

A songbird woke him, its trilling cry echoing out across the rime covered forest as Dane cracked his eyes open. He rubbed at them, tired as he stifled a yawn from echoing out as he looked at the burnt remnants of his little fire. The small circle he had built was full of ash and embers, heat still wafting off...

Bloodsworn Ch. 2.22

22.

The latest chimera screamed as its spider half exploded in a wave of yellow goo. Its legs buckled under the weight of the blow, but this one held a crude spear that she stabbed down at him even as her legs folded. Erak swayed and let the rusting metal fly by him, twisting his hips to pull the hammer free. He spun it wi...

Chapter Two

His body stretched, bones snapping and rebinding in the space between seconds, his skin ripping and sewing back together and his eyes dehydrated then rehydrated as his brain boiled. It was pain on a scale Dane couldn’t truly comprehend, so vast that his mind shuddered and then broke. 

Then it was g...

A/N: Patreon has been butchering formatting lately

21.

Nevia killed the first of the small, gray creatures that came rushing into the hall. She stood by the edge of the doorframe with her sword at the ready and chopped down as the monster ran by her, severing its spine and dropping it to the ground in a clatter of sc...

A/N: this will be the next story I release on RR in about a month or so. Y'all get it first

Chapter One

Dane watched the procession march down the streets, his elevated height on the crumbling warehouse’s roof gave him an unobstructed view. Streamers and confetti fell on the assembled marching column, the yo...

20.

“This is cozy,” Sammus quipped. The prince had to watch himself as he walked, the top of the tunnel bare inches from his head. Nevia’s slightly shorter frame allowed her to move easier. Erak was bent nearly in half as he tried to traverse the tunnel. 

Here it was rough hewn stone supported by rune carv...

19.

They came in a rush of albino skin and maws of needle teeth, skating in their haste as Erak stepped into their rush. He swung the heavy slab of metal they had called a shield at the leading monster. Teeth and bone shattered as the monster was picked up and thrown against the tunnel wall, leaving a trail of mucus on Era...

“You look strange without your armor,” Nevia’s voice echoed down the hall as the small soldier leaned against a wall. Her eyes roamed up and down Erak’s long frame and there was a hint of disapproval there. Erak raised a hand and flashed a questioning sign and Nevia understood his meaning.

“You’re sti...

Bloodsworn Ch. 2.17

17.

Heat blasted them as they walked into the forge as everyone watched as a team of dwarves worked together in seamless unity. Two worked the billows and fed the forge while another twisted a piece of long metal that was glowing nearly white hot. The fourth and final dwarf stood in the center of the room hammering a still...

“Erak, you aren’t the best patient,” Pomp said dryly as Erak pulled himself to his feet and swung his feet over the edge. He grunted at his companion who was curled up on top of a wooden dresser. The dragon had his arms crossed over each other as the dragon watched him with judgmental eyes.
