Eri turned around. “You can just go back to the castle if you’re tired, you know?” he suggested awkwardly.

2025-08-04 10:41:35 +0000 UTC View PostThe Reaper waited.
Time passed. A second, a minute, an hour. It meant nothing.
Axel stood rooted still. His body trembled. His teeth were gritted.
Every fibre of his body fought against him. His mind screamed at him to move.
To make that final choice. To simply turn his head and let the Reaper’s blade part his neck.
... 2025-07-30 04:00:03 +0000 UTC View PostAxel gasped awake.
His pain was gone, but so was the sensation of his limbs or torso. He was floating, drifting across empty space.
Darkness stretched as far as his eyes could see. He was standing on nothing, dressed in nothing. Blackness surrounded him from all sides.
“No… No, no, NO!”
He was dead. Axel had died. 2025-07-29 04:00:04 +0000 UTC View Post
At that distance, Axel could not miss.
None was close enough to stop him. Not even the King, for all his impossible speed, could have prevented Axel in time.
And so, with a grim determination holding back the spiral of madness, the Demon cleaved Lune from shoulder to stomach, halberd blade severing neck and spine.
Lune gave one...

The Giant snorted. “Says the one who literally revived the dead to fight for him.”
“I don’t think they were revived, per se… Feels more like they were corpses being puppeted,” Axel replied. “Still trying to get the hang of things. A pity I shall not have a chance to master it.” 2025-07-16 10:11:51 +0000 UTC View Post
Lune was the first to move.
She dragged Axel’s crippled body out of the way, right as the Giant wrestled the feral dragon to the ground.

Axel studied the text calmly. The Giant did so too, expressionless save for a slight tightening of his frown.

There was a joke here somewhere.
Three people — a Giant, a soldier, and a poisoner — huddled around a campfire in a canyon, surrounded by the mangled corpses of a Dragon, four festering insect-women, and a dead Prince whose head resembled a raspberry pottage.
