Darten set the clump of dirt containing the dead Treant gently on the ground and moved all of the soil and rock away, leaving just the monster’s corpse lying there. “So, they left?”
Kay looked around the camp for signs of where they might have gone but found nothing. “Well, Eleniah ...
2021-10-06 14:14:13 +0000 UTC View Post“I’m sorry,” Darten said, his head bowed. “That sounds… terrible.”
“Still, it sounds like you ran into some good people,” Meten said as he smiled at Kay.
“Uncle!”
“What?” He glanced at Darten, “He met Eleniah and those other adventurer friends; it’s a...

2021-10-03 17:07:06 +0000 UTC View PostKay jogged back into camp, just catching Eleniah as she was walking off. “Hey!”
“Back so soon? Where’s the tree?”
“We heard fighting coming from past the trees, and I decided to come back and ask for your advice.” The last part he said with some sarcasm attached. “I he...
2021-10-01 15:00:37 +0000 UTC View PostKay ate slowly, taking his time to enjoy the meal he’d made for their breakfast. Since they were planning on being in the area for a while, he’d used their better supplies to make breakfast as a kind of celebration for finding a good spot. It certainly tasted a lot better than dried meats and...

Pre-chapter note: Sorry this didn't get posted Friday like I thought I would, things didn't work out the way I wanted. But here's a chapter!

“That’s pretty!” Murunel exclaimed as they looked down the cliff to the glittering lake below.
“It really is.” Ka...
2021-09-27 13:30:05 +0000 UTC View PostWith both my day job and writing combined, I'm feeling a tiny bit burnt out, so today's posts and updates are going to be put up this evening.
Thanks for your patience, your chapters will be available today, just not this morning.
“Does this count as something interesting?” Kay asked as he stared at the tower, overgrown with clinging vines. It was tilted to one side, a bit like pictures of the Leaning Tower of Pisa Kay had seen once.
“Ruins were on my list, so yeah, totally,” Murunel replied. Kay could see he...
2021-09-23 19:23:34 +0000 UTC View PostKay held his hand in front of the ball on his neck, and Murunel immediately stopped talking. After she’d managed to stop crying in a combination of relief and joy the night before, the dragon had turned into quite the chatterbox. Forty years of not being able to talk were coming out all at once...
2021-09-22 14:42:03 +0000 UTC View PostJust a simple thing, but I thought I'd announce it so it wasn't a surprise. I'll be changing tier rewards slightly. Due to the number of patrons I have now, (And thanks all of you so much!) there's a huge blob of names to type every time I do a free chapter. From today on, I'll only be pasting in...
2021-09-20 13:50:37 +0000 UTC View Post“So that’s all the basics you need to know to set up camp.” Eleniah gestured around at the tent, fire pit, and basic latrine she’d made while Kay watched and helped a little. “You remember it all?”
“I think so. Basics we need, things we sometimes won’t do and when we won’t...
2021-09-20 13:46:09 +0000 UTC View PostI'm going to go ahead and close the two polls a little early, because results seem to be pretty much set in stone, and the number of votes hasn't updated much in the last two days. So!
The results are pretty much what I was expecting, Cover Art first, then character art, then for the first ...
2021-09-16 22:56:04 +0000 UTC View PostAlice’s party said goodbye to the two of them one last time close to the city gates. There was not much traffic right then, so they weren’t blocking anyone while they talked.
“Be safe, you guys,” Alice said as she hugged Eleniah. Eleniah awkwardly patted the younger woman on the bac...

Kay followed as Eleniah stormed back inside, still angry about the theory he’d pieced together. He totally understood; if he had someone he loved who claimed to trust him, treating him like that all the time, he’d be angry too.
He peeked into her room, where she was leaning over her des...
2021-09-15 12:55:01 +0000 UTC View PostThe week of being under house arrest was simultaneously restful and boring. It let Kay’s arms get back to mostly normal, but he was also annoyed at being confined for a week.
“Why are we stuck in here?” He demanded one morning as he and Eleniah sat in the living room.
She looked...
2021-09-12 00:37:07 +0000 UTC View PostThat's right, there's two! This was originally going to be for Partisans only the day we hit one thousand a month, but I screwed up on Friday and didn't update Supporter tier patrons chapter access! So this one will open to them too!
This poll is to vote for which scene I get art for first!...
2021-09-11 19:36:17 +0000 UTC View PostSince we've hit a thousand dollars a month, I have a surprise! That's right, art polls! Not only will I be cutting hours at my day job in order to write more, I'll also be starting to commission some art! This first poll will determine the first thing I commission: Real cover art for Blood Shaper...
2021-09-11 19:30:31 +0000 UTC View PostApparently something went wrong yesterday with updating Chapter forty from Partisan only to Partisan and Supporter. It's fixed now! I might have not hit the confirm or save button or something like that. Sorry everybody!
2021-09-11 17:48:16 +0000 UTC View PostKay woke up, once again groggy and confused. This time at least, it didn’t feel like a tiny person inside his skull was trying to beat their way out with their fists. “I really need to stop waking up like this.” He muttered to himself.
“Then maybe you should work on paying better atten...
Pre-chapter note: This was originally going to be a longer chapter that got posted yesterday, but I'm unhappy with how the emotions and backstory and such that's happening in the later half is being conveyed. So I split it in twain and now you get the first, less emotional half, while I work on t...
2021-09-07 15:40:14 +0000 UTC View PostHappy Labor Day, to those patrons who celebrate it today! I have the day off, so Partisans can reasonably expect at least one more chapter by the end of the day today! Yaay!
I'm trying to build up my cache of them, so Partisans have more and more to read ahead.
I'm telling you this, s...
2021-09-06 13:59:59 +0000 UTC View PostThe room beyond the one containing the cell was thankfully empty. Kay slowly walked forward, looking around as he stepped inside. There was a desk directly across from the door he’d just come through, and it looked recently vacated. An open door to the side of the room led to a staircase, and h...
2021-09-06 13:47:56 +0000 UTC View PostEleniah pushed open the door and walked into the house she was renting. She still didn’t think of this place as “home”. She knew she would leave Tumbling Rapids someday, and she just wasn’t attached to the building. If she never saw it again five seconds from now, it wouldn’t be that bi...
2021-09-03 02:25:09 +0000 UTC View PostKay woke up groggy and confused. Also his head hurt. Like, a lot. Why did his head hurt so damn much? It wasn’t like he’d been beaten unconscious. He tried to stand up and staggered onto his feet, clutching his head.
“Oh, he’s up.”
Kay tried to look towards the voice he’d ...
2021-09-01 16:51:38 +0000 UTC View Post“Hey, Eduard?” Kay sidled close to the half-elf as they were gathering up the bodies of the snake-like monsters they had killed. “I have a question.”
“Sure, what is it?”
Kay hesitated. “It, well, it might be a bit rude, so tell me if I should drop it.”
Eduard nod...
2021-08-30 14:03:46 +0000 UTC View PostA little less than a Torotian week after the fight with the Blood Mage, Kay woke to an empty house.
Higher tier people needed less sleep, and so Kay was used to Eleniah being up at least an hour or two before him. She apparently had been, but she hadn’t stuck around according to the...
2021-08-30 14:01:49 +0000 UTC View PostAfter getting back to the rental house, Kay helped Eleniah prepare for dinner. Most of his life in Torotia till this point had been focused on adventuring and leveling his combat skills. He hadn’t had the chance to pick up the Cooking skill, but he;d made enough meals for himself back on Earth ...
2021-08-30 13:59:45 +0000 UTC View PostAdvanced chapters weren't here for awhile, but that's fixed! I'm posting them now. I'm going to change up the way I do it, and just open them up as it reaches the right moment for each tier instead of posting multiple each time.
Also, since they're available for anyone on RR, I'm not going ...
2021-08-30 13:58:02 +0000 UTC View Post“What do you mean you haven’t worked on his class at all?” Douglas demanded. “It’s been three months!”
“Don’t you yell at me!” Eleniah snapped back at him.
“It’s been three months and he hasn’t upgraded to tier two! It takes less than one for the average person...
2021-07-28 14:04:50 +0000 UTC View Post“Melee weapons?” Kay asked, looking around at the multiple weapon racks in the back yard.
Eleniah nodded. “Right! Since your range is only a few meters right now, you’re probably never going to be much of a medium or long range combatant. If you need to be close up to use you magic,...
