Hey Sentars,

Updat-a-diddily-do. Sorry I just went full Flanders and I shouldn’t have seen that, but currently I’m not even caffeinated.

DD 301 is a wrap, I need to go back and probably work a little more on that final fight. Then I am adjusting Misha’s description when we first meet her. Yanai did some art and I like it enough...

No Chapter Tomorrow

Apologies I owe you all an extra one.

Announcing Video Q&A's!

Hey guys, I'm going to start up a new project and as my most direct supporters I want to explain how you guys are going to get some extra benefits from it.

The idea is to gather questions from various parts of my community (Patreon, Discord, etc.) and start to do a AMA-style video that will get posted to my YouTube channel. I've had the c...

Yet when my eyes decided to work again, Karnak was kneeling, a huge chunk missing from his abdomen, big enough that I was impressed he was still kneeling and not sprawled out on the floor dead.

“Aptly done.” The older Orkai stepped forward, and I immediately relaxed, releasing [Metamorphosis]. Even as I let myself breathe, I felt the c...

DD 301 Ch 16

I blocked Karnak’s axe, spinning around and coming at him from the other side, only to find the Orkai ready and waiting for me, a competent smirk resting on his lips.

“You’re going to have to do far better than that.” He told me.

I had half expected him to be more brutish in his fighting, especially given how loud Karnak was ...

DD 301 Ch 15

Des followed happily behind Ken as he spoke quietly to Crimson.

While Ken was speaking quietly, Crimson was making no effort to keep her voice down. As a result, Des was catching only half the conversation, which seemed to be mostly about how Crimson was coaching Ken to kick Karnak’s ass.

Des hoped that would be the case. The Orkai...

DD 301 Ch 14

The entire class attempted to clear the boss, though two groups of three were unable to take down the boss until they began testing other combinations and the order of poison, frost and fire last was most successful. Especially when they controlled their damage so they went off nearly back to back. Then essentially the only one doing damage was ...

DD 301 Ch 13

"Boss time!" Harley said, far too chipper, as our five parties came to a stop in front of the pair of large bronze doors. Then she plopped herself down to camp.

Her party had moved in our wake, killing monsters, but generally taking it easier.

Ah. Now her excitement made sense. It wasn’t time for her to do the boss, but gossip outs...

DD 301 Ch 12

"Are you sure you're ready?" Baloo asked, standing with his four other party mates.

"Yeah, what's the worst that could happen?" I asked, pulling my two swords out of my CID. "I need revived?" My own party squared up behind me. "Besides, I don't know too many people that would be friendly enough to show me how they fight."

Baloo shrug...

DD 301 Ch 11

"Please, by all means, come share our fire, you and your party. We can at least give you directions to Star City. Perhaps soon, more of the cities will be reunited." I offered to the very large man.

The Whalewyrn nodded, letting out a deep, low note before clicking several times. The sound seemed to carry forever before he turned back to m...

DD 301 Ch 10

Class resumed much as I had expected. Everything was normal, or at least as normal as could be expected with Crimson teaching. We spent our mornings in the classroom at Star City and our afternoons in the gravity chamber, with every third day spent entirely in the dungeon.

It was tough, but everybody continued because they were seeing resu...

DD 301 Ch 9

Edit: Whoops, I think my laptop double clicked and I skipped the setup page. Enjoy the early chapter.

Our class finished up with our first day, and true to her word, Crimson made everyone run laps until they passed out. For a brief moment, I thought I would be excluded from the activity since it was, of course, a punishment for our failure...

DD 301 Ch 8

"Alright class, this should be a little more fun," Crimson said, leading us down to the first floor of the dungeon.

It was the same bog that we’d visited when we first started, the shuffle hadn’t separated the first floors attached to each of the entrances.

The space was completely empty. None of the freshmen had classes like our...

DD 301 Ch 7

After the less-than-exciting opening address from the headmistress, I found myself back in a classroom, with familiar faces trickling in one after the other. Harley grabbed the chair in front of me, spun it around, and plopped herself in it backwards. 

"So, tell us, Ken, what new torture methods did Crimson develop this summer?" Harle...

DD 301 Ch 6

I took a deep breath as we stepped back onto Haylon proper. The new freshmen this year were already on campus, waiting outside the visitor center as if they had been awaiting my arrival. They were giggling and whispering to each other in a way that made me deeply uncomfortable. 

"Shoo, shoo," Des walked out in front of me. "You'll wan...

DD 301 Ch 5

I entered the brightly lit hall with Des and Felin in tow.

The place was massive. Dozens of long tables, each seating thirty, filled the room. A platform several steps higher than the rest of the room held a single long table. My grandparents, several older members of the Nagato clan who had rejoined us as we rebuilt, as well as Crimson, C...

DD 301 Ch 4

I stood at the front doorway to a massive hall in the inner court, it was big enough to seat hundreds.

Another person walked up to shake my hand and introduce themselves with a giant smile on their face.

“You’ll do great at Haylon. I’m Travis, we just joined Silver Fangs.” He gestured at a woman behind him.

Grandma Saku...

DD 301 Ch 3

As soon as I stepped through the portal bringing us to the Nagato Estate, a massive surge of bloodlust hit me straight in the gut. A powerful sword light raced down atop my head.

I spun out of the way, bringing one of my swords out of my CID with the flick of my wrist, and caught my attacker's strike before spinning and countering with my ...

DD 301 Ch 2

In Neko City, deep within the dungeon, the Nekorian City filled several safe zones and spilled out into the surrounding areas.

Lucian sat in the healing chambers, his grandmother's body covered once again. It had been brought here to their tribe’s home months after the incident because the new routes within the dungeon were still being e...

DD 301 Ch 1

"Oh, come on, just a hundred more," Crimson pressed.

Sweat dripped off my nose and I could feel the weight of her rear pressed into the small of my back. "Eight hundred and sixty-one," I ground out with another push-up as Crimson flicked away at her CID while sitting astride me with her legs crossed.

"There you go. You still hav...

Hello!

That concludes RD 4. I hope you all enjoyed that one. Something as grand a global apocalypse is hard to encapsulate, but I did my best to show various points of the world and how things were changing as a result. Bran and his Mul Branova are making a difference this time around. We've got the Trial of Kings to get done though and Br...

RD 4 Epilogue

I staggered to my feet in an empty void, unsure where I was given everything around me was nearly pitch black. But when I held my hands up in front of me and wiggled my fingers, I could see them clearly despite the lack of light.

Suddenly, a speck of green off in the distance began to swirl and spin, growing closer and closer.

The la...

RD 4 Ch 59

"So." Circe stood next to me. “You're certain I can't defeat the trials?"

I turned to her slightly, trying to get a read on the real question. I now understood she had a significant desire to keep up with me, and everything I was doing was making that harder and harder. If I passed the Trial of Kings, it would be nearly impossible for he...

RD 4 Ch 58

It hadn't even been half an hour since I had returned to Tartarus from the fortress and my fight with Vidar before more startling news quickly began spreading.

Mul Branova came rushing towards me, both of them flying like arrows from a bow. They came to a skidding stop, panting as they bent over.

"Lord Bran, forces approach. It's an ...

RD 4 Ch 57

The Mul Branova moved around, working to rebuild from the wreckage.

The fortress was shattered, but thankfully, there were people amongst us with the abilities and power to fix it far more quickly than one might expect. Each member of the Mul Branova possessed the strength to be their own piece of industrial equipment, making the task move...

RD 4 Ch 56

I moved forward, striking back at Vidar as the blood within me sang. Each swing became stronger and stronger as whatever shackles he put on my bloodline cracked away.

He stood, his massive form beginning to twinkle as he prepared an ability. When he threw his hands forward, it was like the stars themselves poured out of his palm to attack ...

RD 4 Ch 55

The door to the room where Venthra had been staying shattered inwards as a thick-booted foot entered the room. Venthra flinched and ducked low while I moved my body in front of her, standing firm with my arms crossed. My clothes were plastered to me with drying blood. However, my body was perfectly fine, Immortal Body had done its job in keeping...

RD 4 Ch 54

Charging through the fortress, I heard a scream from farther up. I gave a small silent apology to Simone before I swung the Bloodiron Blade high above my head with four quick flicks of my wrist releasing Sanguine Slashes that carved a square chunk out of the ceiling that fell with a boom, announcing my presence to everyone above.

But I was...
