Deadman Ch 43: Anomaly

After having some breakfast and sharing a cup of coffee with Nico, I started prepping my gear. I’d just cleaned and fine tuned everything, but I did a thorough check of everything anyway. I debated whether or not I should bring the las-rifles with me, and in the end I decided to bring two of th...

Young World Ch 43: Sizing Up the Competition

We made our way back into the dugout, and found the Smash Queens waiting for us. Alongside them was a woman wearing a simple brown robe with green accents and suede green gloves. The Queens gave us a round of applause, and Krush let out a fearsome wolf whistle in our direction.

Prima clappe...

Young World Ch 42: Ongoing Hostilities

The ladies led us through the back way, and as they were talking I was able to avoid the embarrassment of having forgotten their names by picking them up through their conversation. The Orc woman was of course, Krush, the woman in leather was Prima, and the woman in the sheer toga was Secunda. Pr...

Deadman Ch 42: Feeding Gus

I should’ve taken that message and traveled straight for Pott’s Field. I was already pretty close to The Cut as it was, and with all that had happened I knew was well overdue to take a trip that way. In spite of that though, I chose to take some time back home before I did anything. For the s...

Deadman Ch 41: Whisper of a Remnant

We made our way out of the facility, and for the first time I was able to see the damage I’d done through clear eyes. There were dozens of corpses. Throats were ripped out, heads exploded by shotgun rounds, and even some cleaved nearly in half. I hadn’t realized it until this moment, but I mu...

Young World Ch 41: Accidental Opportunity

By late afternoon I was armed and armored. I wore some of my rougher traveling clothes along with my leather armor I’d started with. At this point starting to look worse for wear even after repairing it, but in my absentmindedness I’d for some reason prioritized tailoring to getting new armor...

Young World Ch 40: Drinks Before Work

I awoke the next morning with a terrible hangover. There was only so much that decent stats could protect you from. They could make it easier to deal with sleeping on hard ground, pushing yourself through difficult work, or moving more fluidly than ever before. A hangover though? It must take a m...

Deadman Ch 40: Suspect

“Too bad,” I lifted my shotgun and went to pull the trigger, but I found myself suddenly frozen in place.

V smiled. “You’re quick. I only just barely activated freeze in time.”

I gritted my teeth, straining to pull the trigger.

V approached me, peeled the gun out of my...

Young World Ch 39: Networking

By the time everything was done and we’d left the administrative building, it was late afternoon. I took a deep breath, happy to taste air not tainted with the smell of dust and decaying paper. Tristus pulled out a pouch from somewhere and started handing them out, one for each of us.

Pat...

Deadman Ch 39: Siege

I had a split second to decide what to do. My first thought was to dive back into the ruins and do my best to take potshots until I was the only one left. I decided on risking the quick death rather than the slow one. Before all the weapons could fully turn their attentions to me I started runnin...

Epub/pdf downloads

Hey everybody,

 I'm horribly sick and won't be able to post the updated downloads today. I apologize, I'll have them as soon as I'm feeling better. It shouldn't effect next week's chaps.

Thank you,

Young World Ch 38: Tense Negotiations

The next morning, I awoke far more refreshed than I expected to. I hadn’t gotten as much sleep as I wanted, but the sleep I had gotten was in a bed, and that was a pretty big improvement over the hard ground I’d grown accustomed to recently. I slid out of bed and stretched, hearing s...

Deadman Ch 38: Full Frontal Assault

We made it back to the gas station without any difficulty. Our combined pace was such that the day hadn’t even ended by the time we’d arrived. Leah hadn’t yet returned, but Mercy was still hard at work, a pile of death and destruction slowly being assembled at her work table.

She look...

Young World Ch 37: New City New Tech

As we approached the city, the road we were on connected to several others, and started to become busy. Merchants, travelers, and even a few adventurers started to come into view as we walked. I noted that there was a far more cosmopolitan feel here than I’d seen in Itlan. That wasn’t to say ...

Deadman Ch 37: Scouting Trip

We got back on the road and started heading in the general direction of the nearest taken settlement. It was still almost unbearably slow going for me, but I was also glad to be moving again in general. Being boxed in like that put me on edge. It was one of the reasons I left Pott’s, and why be...

Young World Ch 36: Getting the Green

The rest of the day went by quickly, and we made good progress along the road. The idea that the dragon could return in a less merciful mood made it much easier for everyone to put on foot in front of the other more quickly. We were in the same marching order, with Patience driving the cart while...

Deadman Ch 36: Eye of the Storm

It was a good haul. Each of our attackers had a handful of ammunition, and most still had intact weapons. I took the ones I thought would be the most valuable and left the rest to the dust. Overloading myself could hurt me in the long run. Never knew when an extra ounce would get you killed. One ...

Young World Ch 35: 5 Point Plan

Ch 35. 5 Point Plan

I woke up for my middle watch with a head full of muddled thoughts and that uncomfortable and awkward feeling that comes from dreaming about people you’re about to spend the morning with. I pulled a canteen out of my pack and took a sip to remove the dryness from my th...

Deadman Ch 35: Have Gun- Will Travel

Shortly after the card game we made our way out of Medina and started heading northwest. My allies were quiet, which I appreciated. Occasionally Mercy and Leah would exchange a few words, but they were mostly business. Unfortunately, while I appreciated their quiet and restraint, I was less appre...

Deadman Ch 34: 3 Marshalls Walk into a Bar

I approached the table cautiously, observing the three sitting at it, as they observed me. Leah was wearing the same amused expression she’d had last time we met, but her look had once again completely changed. She was no longer wearing the tattoos and gear jewelry of the Horde, and was instead...

Young World Ch 34: Memo #02

We finished loading all the swords and shields onto the cart, and from there we got moving again. I checked my notifications.

Congratulations! You’ve slain a Human  (lvl 6)! You gain 375 xp!

I thought it was a bit weird that they were just listed as ‘Human’, but I ...

Deadman Ch 33: A Hive of Scum and Villainy

I walked over to the railing and looked over the side. The fall should’ve killed them, but that was never a good assumption to make in the wastes. Especially considering my own near-death survivals. The splash of red below confirmed the sniper was dead. I took a breath and holstered my pistol. ...

Young World Ch 33: Problematic Promotion

Eventually I decided to break the awkward silence with Tib. “So, how does adventuring work for people in Heracleum? I’ve heard it’s mostly done through the government?”

Tib nodded. “Yes. You give the Bureau of Adventuring your party makeup and class and then wait to be assigned qu...

Deadman Ch 32: Bullets and Broken Mirrors

After wrapping things up with Bill, I headed back to my boat to spend the rest of my day peacefully. I had a strong feeling it would be a long while before I was able to take a day to myself. I double checked all my gear, sorted out all the supplies I needed, bagged a mutated deer with eight legs...

Young World Ch 32: Work Trip

At the end of the month, Millicent, Patience, Zevrack, and I were equipped and ready for our new job. I’d picked up a smattering of new skill points from all the training and was feeling much more comfortable with my new spells. We headed for the island that held visiting governments and then t...

Deadman Ch 31: Stocking Up

The trip back home was uncharacteristically quiet. No raiders peeked out and attacked me, giant roaches didn’t nibble at my boots while I slept, and vengeful townsfolk didn’t shoot me any chance they got. I wasn’t sure I liked the quiet. I was comfortable with the chaos of the wastes. It wa...

Young World Ch 31: Asset Protection

She had the upper hand all throughout our sparring. She’d been right, I relied far too heavily on my spells in combat. I still didn’t think I should skip out on training for synergy, but taking the time to occasionally focus purely on my martial ability seemed like a good way to round out my ...

Deadman Ch 30: Recruited

The ride back to Fette was uneventful, but soothing. The patrol that I’d borrowed rode behind me in silence. It wasn’t the contemptible silence I’d grown used to, but rather a respectful one. I wasn’t sure how I felt about that. On the one hand, I liked to think I didn’t give a damn wha...

Young World Ch 30: New Assignment

I stood there, looking at my hands as if they were disappointments. I felt like a kid whose parents had bought them a new toy, but forgotten to buy the batteries to go with it. For some reason, the spell wasn’t one I was currently capable of casting. The limit must’ve had to do with my class,...

Deadman Ch 29: Favor

The trip back through the wastes to Fette was maybe the easiest journey I’ve ever been a part of. I rode at the head of a massive convoy of trucks, motorcycles, and anything else that could be cobbled together with scrap metal and wheels, as we roared across the wastes.

I avoided conversa...
