“Ah.” Felix wasn’t quite prepared for that one. “Well, home is…was Fort Lauderdale. That’s in Florida. Which is in the United States—I’m not sure how much context I should give.”

As is required by my contract, I'll be removing almost all of the chapters for Abyss (chapters 425-531 ish). But! Since it's my birthday tomorrow, April 22nd, I'm going to leave them up for the weekend. Any new folks can check them out this weekend, and I'll remove them all Monday.
Have a great weekend, folks!

Felix shut the door. “Explain.”
The Chanters stood in the center of the room, eyes roaming over the jars and sacks, the fire, and Pit, who sat unperturbed on the woven rug. Laur, in particular, stared pointe...

Evie landed in a roll, springing up to her feet as her spiked chain retracted into her hand. Behind, the last of the Brumalbats fell in gruesome pieces, their icy wings and dark ichor splattering the cliffs below. A Yttin harpoon speared the center of the nearest corpses and snapped back, snagging the ...

A small, hiltless blade appeared in Felix’s hand. It was crooked, pitted, and dull along the long edge, but he marveled at the ability regardless. Shaping things out of raw Mana was still a trip. With a flick of his wris...
