Sorry about the lack of updates, been a crazy week of travel and family business. Another chap coming tonight, then one tomorrow to make up for the lack.
The walls glow with molten light as the dragon's breath fades and we rocket through the narrow space. I can hear Tiny gr...
2022-05-01 06:39:29 +0000 UTC View PostIt's about that time! Keep in mind, I'll most likely write the two most voted for options. If you arrange a tie again, I'll pick one rather than write three, you need to learn!
2022-04-28 23:20:34 +0000 UTC View PostInteresting…
[If you hear something weird, let me know. For now we need to focus on not getting killed.]
[Yes,] the great bear shakes her head, [you're right, of course.]
With the crew back together we're in a better position to resist, but the pressure quickly begins to mount...
2022-04-27 05:41:01 +0000 UTC View PostIt took a day of finger breaking work for Tyron to complete the musculature on all ten skeletons. He worked straight through the night under the illumination of summoned globes, despite Dove warning him it was a bad idea. In typical fashion, he refused to cut any corners in the tedious process, i...
2022-04-26 11:41:53 +0000 UTC View PostSome people said that a good Mage was similar to a good musician. A good musician understood the structure of music, was able to manipulate harmonies to create sounds that tugged on heartstrings and dropped women's drawers. Those people claimed that a Mage, similarly, knew the sigils and words of...
2022-04-26 05:06:30 +0000 UTC View PostLife in the fourth stratum is considered by many to be the pinnacle of existence for many. The rich mana intensive atmosphere, the wealth and prosperity available to those who are strong enough to hunt the powerful monsters, the abundance for those who can pay for it. Many empires of Pangera ...
2022-04-24 13:52:39 +0000 UTC View PostI have no idea how many tons of material rained down, but it had to be a lot. Thankfully the integrity of things like soil and stone are more than a little 'iffy' here on Pangera. By all right, the planet should collapse in on itself given the fact that it's largely hollow, but when we add mana i...
2022-04-23 11:30:42 +0000 UTC View PostWe are consistently above 1000 patrons these days and I know that a lot of those are here for BoD, but what the hey, it's been ages.
TIME FOR ANOTHER CHRYSALIS SIDE STORY POLL! WHOOOOOO!
... next week! If you have any ideas, drop it in the com...
2022-04-21 08:34:29 +0000 UTC View PostSorry this was late. Struggled with it and ended cutting a bunch of stuff which made it shorter than normal.
The sound of air being sucked through gritted teeth filled the tent. The pain came almost constantly now and Magnin bent all of his considerable will to combating it...
2022-04-20 04:30:39 +0000 UTC View PostWe fall into a rhythm as the battle progresses. Sarah rushes forward, unleashes absolutely abhorrent levels of devastation on the termites before she falls back to gather herself. When that happens, I step in, take the hits, push back against the wall of invaders while Tiny punches their lights o...
2022-04-18 06:36:52 +0000 UTC View PostSarah watched as the others threw themselves into battle with wild abandon. Anthony and his pets showed no hesitation in attacking the oncoming wave of termites any way they could. It was a dizzying scene. Explosions rocked the tunnel, tentacles lashed left and right, Tiny’s fists flashed so qu...
2022-04-15 09:11:59 +0000 UTC View PostDetonation after detonation rings out in the narrow tunnel as Invidia weaves his intricate tapestry of death. With my enhanced mana sight, I can see ever more clearly just how absurdly overpowered his mental gifts are. A hundred individual strands of mana writhe through the air at any given momen...
2022-04-14 11:41:51 +0000 UTC View PostWhat is given to us when a monster dies by our hand? Experience. This is the benediction of the System, this gift allow us to grow, to uplift ourselves. Every monster slain is a single brink in the Path that we tread to achieve our perfect self. Since the Divine Descent, when the System made ...
2022-04-14 11:08:34 +0000 UTC View PostThe noise above never ceased. As the hours passed, the piercing cry of the monsters only grew louder over time and Tyron slowly came to the realisation that it wouldn't stop any time soon. After putting the cellar back to rights, cleaning up the mess and laying down his blankets and bedroll on th...
2022-04-12 13:18:36 +0000 UTC View PostFull of vim and vigour, we dash off to find Sarah toiling away helping to build walls. The great bear isn't much for digging, lacking the zen-like disposition that ants have towards it, or our powerful mandibles. You'd think hands would be great for shifting dirt, but nope, mandibles is where it'...
2022-04-11 11:09:16 +0000 UTC View PostHaving upgraded myself to peak condition, and my friends and allies having done the same, it's time to descend below and inflict true despair upon the termite foe!
MUAHAHAHAAA!
With my newfound abilities and near perfect mutations, they won't know what hit them. As we march down the e...
2022-04-11 08:23:35 +0000 UTC View PostHit with a migraine, sorry folks. Double Chrysalis delayed until tomorrow.
Sorry! >.<
2022-04-10 11:09:06 +0000 UTC View PostFirst full status update for a long time. I've tried to fix it and get all the errors out, but I'm sure I've forgotten something. Let me know what I missed!
Hope the week is going well for everyone! Two chaps tomorrow to make up for lack of posts, been a busy chap o...
2022-04-09 08:27:38 +0000 UTC View PostHad to go back and make edits to chapter 936 since I forgot to copy changes across to the stat sheet and forgot that Anthony had already mutated certain things! -_-
So the following changes have been made to 936:
With that done, and the massive cost involved, I can t...
2022-04-06 11:45:56 +0000 UTC View PostHey folks. Quick heads up, I changed the title of the last chapter and used that title for this one, seemed to fit much better.
Likely only one chapter this week, as I have a ton of stuff to deal with as Chrysalis gets close to release. Not to mention the proofs for...
2022-04-05 07:56:39 +0000 UTC View Post"I'm really not sure about this," Isaac muttered under his breath.
[That makes two of us…] his new partner replied.
"I really didn't think they would go for this as enthusiastically as they did."
[It's how we are. If there's an advantage in it, we're more than happy to explore...
2022-04-03 12:38:21 +0000 UTC View PostThe two sides stare each other down, the tension thick in the air. Outside of myself and the elder Ka'armodo, along with his attendants, nobody is listening in on our conversation, but apparently the body language is enough to put everyone on edge. In front of me stand a hundred giant lizards and...
2022-04-03 10:52:05 +0000 UTC View PostIs the Colony evil? The monstrous ant foe poses a conundrum, as far as enemies go. It's very easy to paint such alien creatures as 'other', distinct from the sapient people of Pangera and therefore remove sympathy. The ants do not speak, in the conventional sense, they don't even make sound. ...
2022-04-02 10:39:39 +0000 UTC View PostThe first day in the third stratum was the worst. Along with Crinis, Tiny and Invidia, I rushed about trying to put out fires and help the Colony in every way that I could. We took part in the siege of a city, overrunning the defenders in spectacular style, leaping from a pillar that rose ten kil...
2022-03-30 07:53:16 +0000 UTC View PostNow we are eight ahead! Whoo!
Could have done a better job with this, but I hope its alright. Enjoy!
"Did your brain turn to shit or something?" Dove coughed. "What the fuck where you thinking?"
Tyron couldn't lift his head...
2022-03-30 02:09:00 +0000 UTC View PostFirst chap of the week, another one coming tomorrow I hope.
Also the following lines have been added to chapter 42 since I forgot to give Tyron a new ability choice at level 10 for his Necromancer class. Since it's an even numbered level, he should have g...
2022-03-29 04:22:45 +0000 UTC View PostHey folks, sorry for the shocking schedule this week, had some family issues and they always come first, sorry!
Hope you've all had a good week and I'll work hard to get a better schedule going next week!
Hello my dear readers, it is wo...
2022-03-27 12:34:17 +0000 UTC View PostDeep within Pangera, things were stirring. Stone cracked, ice shattered, fire roared and winds howled. The monsters of this deep darkness revelled the flood of mana that poured from the centre of the Dungeon, eyeing the rivals with whom they had sparred for hundreds, if not thousands of years whi...
2022-03-25 10:36:39 +0000 UTC View PostMother looked at me, a twinge of amusement in her eyes as her antennae continued to hover threateningly. I swear she gets far more enjoyment than she should by whacking me on the head. I'm not sure I've ever seen her hit someone else, to be honest. It's not fair!
"Mother. It's lovely to see...
2022-03-24 08:29:40 +0000 UTC View PostAuthor note: Going to make a few changes to 42, since Tyron should have gained a new skill or spell at level 10 and I left it off. Also a few errors in that chapter that need fixing.
For Chrysalis readers, I plan to hit you up with a double header tomorrow to make up for being late thi...
