Erak hit the spawn like a wrecking ball, bowling the injured abomination over. Its clumsy swing bounced off his pauldron, and then they were crashing into the floor. It scraped at him with a clawed hand and its teeth snapped helplessly against his armored forearm as Erak rammed the appendage into the creatur...

The knight moved in a burst of speed, heading straight toward Duncan before anyone could speak. The wide sword cut the air with a howl and Santi cast a series of [Air Shields] as fast as he could. Each of the shields burst apart in a tempest of wild winds that scoured the platform of a...

The first of the monsters looked up with dull gold eyes, maw smeared wetly with crimson stains and it smiled wildly as it rose to its feet. The tattered remnants of the hospital gown clung to its frame in thin scraps of tangled cloth. It lurched forward in a shambling sprint, the ground shaking under its fee...

“Just me or was that easier than it should have been?” Trevor asked as they all caught their breath in the passage leading to the next zone. Santi wanted to groan at the man jinxing them but managed to keep his displeasure to himself.
“This dungeon is much more like a game than the world is...

A/N: First Patreon chapters, lets go. Going to be working on building up my lead on Patreon
“There!” Pomp alerted him, pointing a talon at a piece of wall. Erak lunged in a burst of speed, spear ripping through draconic flesh as the creature roared in agony. Erak put his boot on its chest and pulled the s...

“I’m beginning to understand that you have no survival instincts,” Pomp whispered into Erak’s ear as they walked slowly down the hallway. The faint blue light from the Essence created lights gave the hallway a ominous feel, the blood smears turned black.
The hallways were just as sterile ...

Erak rushed into the swarm of hands, clenching fingers dragging across his armor as he struck all around himself with his weapons. A corpse struck the side of the wall and crumpled to the ground in a boneless heap as he speared the next in line through the head. His boot crushed a sternum as he front kicked ...

Erak split the leech in half with a powerful swing, the pale creature burst apart in a shower of gore as the clouds of smoke began to lighten as the sun rose. Corpses were piled high in the alleyway as Erak had stood his guard for hours. The narrow passage had been one of the three entrances onto the street ...

The dragon lay curled in a festive ball of light in the middle of the table as Erak slowly pulled his gauntlets off. He’d been stuck in the armor for most of the day and the thought of breathing freely was too enticing to miss. He sat down the heavy gloves and then pulled the helm free of his head, before ...

Leeches latched onto people with a suicidal determination, their teeth biting into flesh even as steel tore through them. A madness gripped them, their eyes wide and wild as the stench of blood filled the street in an overwhelming blanket that coated the air. Every leech was in a frenzy, jaws snapping as des...

The demon turned and locked eyes with Erak and he felt the cold intensify, shooting down his spine in a frigid blast that could rival the North Pole in the dead of winter. The explosion of heat that ballooned through him met the frost and they interlocked in a monstrous battle in his chest, the pain nearly b...

The elevator opened silently and the heavy stench of smoke billowed over him as he walked out across the flat decks of the warship. The pitted and scarred surface of the warship had been cleaned up, metal replaced in a patchwork of armor that looked like a patchwork quilt. Erak searched for where that flying...

“Trevor, trigger the ambush. Santiago will be right behind and will protect you. Bo, you stick tight with Dexter. This is the only passage through this section, but after this I think we will be clear of this dungeon. Just don’t accidentally stab each other.” Duncan looked at each of them until h...

Power radiated off the spirit as she stared them down, imperious and unfazed by the group. Erak towered over her seated form, but he felt small as her hard eyes swept over them.
“I am Prince Sammus of House Greenbough. Seventeenth Prince of the Empire,” Sammus said, his voice proud and clear,...

Erak woke with a start and was face to snout with the floating spirit. The dragon blinked slowly and then smiled wide. So close to it, Erak could see the exquisite detail of the scales and the mathematical equations written into each one of them. Pomp swished through the air spinning around to face the rest ...

Their trek back to the bridge was done in silence. Sammus walked next to Erak, his head high, but rage in his eyes. Once they had all seen the remnants of the citizenry that had been piled high, the elation of the easy Essence harvest had faded. Now they walked drenched in the blood of the innocent, their ow...

The creature rose to its feet slowly, limbs trembling as it slipped forward. Blood sluiced off of slick green carapace. Bug-like black eyes glistened wetly as a thick, pointed black tongue lashed out of its wide mouth, whipping back and forth wildly. It lurched awkwardly and trilled loudly, piercing an...

A floating light shimmered into existence, blue-white and stark against the blood red lighting, the mote of light slowly expanded outward. Erak watched as the ball of light grew, bones at first until a young dragon’s skeleton was staring at them. Then tendons and muscles, blood and veins, then flesh and sc...

Nevia stood with the Engineer, her face stern as Erak came trudging back to them. The high of the fight was fleeting, his limbs heavy once again as exhaustion crept upon him to steal his strength. Lost in the smoke below them, the day’s passage had been long and difficult, with more blood ...

Erak followed the streaks of rusty blood deeper into the docks, moving in a low crouch with the sword in front of him. Every step was careful as he looked over the multitude of entrances and exits that his prey could have taken. The docks were a warren of twisting halls and small rooms.
He passed...

Santi took in the smooth polished stone, the mirror finish reflecting the light as they got closer to it.

The entryway to the floating docks had a pale yellow light emanating from them now.

Its hallway was dim but clean, the ste...
