Busy day today. Too busy! The business is coming out of my ears.

Busy day today. Too busy! The business is coming out of my ears.
2023-02-21 07:33:33 +0000 UTC View PostWhile I had proclaimed that I would help Emeri with her quest, in truth I wasn’t entirely sure how to feel about working with Dalius. We had only met him briefly by chance a few weeks ago and the interaction had been an uncomfortable one, to be sure.
Unfortunately, we weren’t spoiled fo...
2023-02-19 18:22:31 +0000 UTC View PostAfter a bit more back and forth, it started to sink in that Emeri had, in fact, followed through on her initial plan and raided the small church, despite the fact that I had warned her not to.
“What were you thinking, Emeri? You knew that church was being closely watched!”
<... 2023-02-17 17:00:01 +0000 UTC View PostI frantically bolted through the series of corridors as more of the building was pulled into the sky above by Dalius. I was looking for cell 45, but was currently only passing cell 23. Traversing the prison, which had already been confusing enough on its own, became even more difficult when I bec...
2023-02-15 14:21:48 +0000 UTC View PostAnother rumble shook the hallway, nearly throwing me to the ground. The stone archway finally gave out and collapsed under the weight it carried. A quick burst of aura step shot me forwards just in time, like a loosed arrow. Behind me, the rubble had already blocked the path and I knew I couldn...
2023-02-13 18:51:53 +0000 UTC View PostThe inquisitor held my gaze, unimpressed. “You thought to convince me with such a feeble fabrication?” he asked suspiciously.
“It’s a matter of public record! Just ask any commoner in Roa, they’ll know who I am!” I hurriedly replied, not hesitating to use one of the few advantag...
2023-02-11 19:21:31 +0000 UTC View PostPOV: Arthur
A cold gust of wind brushed against my face, stirring me awake. I found myself chained to a wall in a damp cell, with nothing but some old rags to cover me. The chains were attached to my wrist, keeping me several feet above the ground. I couldn’t help but muse that if it were...
2023-02-10 19:29:32 +0000 UTC View PostAs the invisible hand clenched around my throat tensed, I couldn’t help but curse myself. Why hadn’t I picked up on this guy’s mana signature? In fact, why was I still not picking up on it? Was he weaker than I thought?
To test my theory, I pushed against the wall to free myself while...
2023-02-07 10:49:45 +0000 UTC View PostI breathed in deeply, taking stock of my situation. I hadn’t much time. Even if these newcomers, who had gotten their hands on the key, supposedly, took their time exploring this little village as I had, there was no assurance they wouldn’t happen across me by accident. Furthermore, I couldn...
2023-02-05 18:10:51 +0000 UTC View PostMentally, I had aimed for a spot on the other side of the gate. The fact that I could see through the bards of the gate made it easier to visualise where I was trying to end up and a split second later, my vision returned to me as I reformed on the other side.
As I had expected, the creator...
2023-02-03 13:58:58 +0000 UTC View PostI shuffled another step forward, watching as the queue continued to shorten person by person. After my fight with Emeri, my initial guilt had turned into anger. ‘So what if she thought the ruin exploration quest was dangerous? Compared to her quest of heresy, this would be a cakewalk!’
...
2023-01-30 18:47:26 +0000 UTC View PostIt took a few days for Emeri and me to finally find the church we had been looking for. Agratos had many places of worship, foremost among which was a large cathedral that was only accessible to respected citizens of the city. Rich folk, in other words. A shame, really, because it was quite an im...
2023-01-28 18:11:52 +0000 UTC View PostThe next morning, I woke up and found Emeri’s bed empty. After some panicked searching, I found her atop the rock formation under which the cave rested. The sun was rising on the horizon, lighting up the vast savannah with its orange brilliance.
Dry, yellow grass… low-hanging trees, and...
2023-01-27 18:47:38 +0000 UTC View PostAs the title says. Things got pretty busy lately, sorry guys.
2023-01-26 21:04:23 +0000 UTC View PostPov: The inquisitor.
“So, inquisitor? What do you think happened here?” the young pursuer asked me. He had only graduated from the academy and subsequently joined the corps a few months ago, but already he was acting like my right-hand man. If it wasn’t for his background, I would hav...
2023-01-24 17:55:34 +0000 UTC View PostSwahili swerved left and right, her body partially turning into fire as she moved. A curving blade swung like an extension of her arm, following its original motion. She had aimed right for my neck, but was easily blocked with a twist of my wrist, which brought my two-handed sword in her path wit...
2023-01-23 18:43:44 +0000 UTC View PostI opened my eyes groggily, waking up from what felt like a hundred-year nap. I blinked, waiting for my vision to focus and my strength to return. The soft crackle of a campfire and its radiating warmth did little to settle my nerves.
What had happened? Weren’t we fighting that elephant wh...
2023-01-20 17:44:54 +0000 UTC View PostAuthor note:
This is the second chapter of the remake of an idea by the same name that I posted yesterday. Go back and read the first chapter of the remake that I posted a few minutes ago first. (Not the one with geck...
2023-01-19 14:46:23 +0000 UTC View PostAuthor note: So, I decided to remake this one, and even made a second chapter. The first oneshot had an interesting protagonist that very obviously suffered from a psychosis. That's an interesting syndrome, but one that would have completely taken over the story.
Instead, I'd rather write a...
2023-01-19 14:41:39 +0000 UTC View PostThe next morning, we were woken up by morning prayer. A loud one. One that had been started right outside the front door of our temporary place. We couldn’t even get mad, since they had let us sleep there for free.
It took another five minutes to get through the crows, once we had finally...
2023-01-18 18:32:42 +0000 UTC View PostAuthor note: Possible oneshot or series, not sure. Tell what you guys think. It would be a progression fantasy focused around the antics of the protagonist and his mentor.
If I do decide to turn it into a new novel, it wouldn't slow down the upload speed for death knight, though, so don't w...
2023-01-18 16:08:31 +0000 UTC View PostMoments after the young man’s death and Sunny’s escape, the mist overtook the area once again. It brightened, forcing us to close our eyes by instinct. Once we opened them again, we found ourselves back in the real world, staring at a statue in the dark. The statue had changed shape, however....
2023-01-17 16:01:43 +0000 UTC View PostWhen the light faded, Emeri and I found ourselves surrounded by a thick, hazy mist. Her body had turned translucent, strangely, and when I looked down at my own hands, I found out that the same had happened to me. I felt neither hot nor cold, nor hungry or fulfilled. It felt as if I was floating,...
2023-01-15 13:15:47 +0000 UTC View PostTodays chapter will be uploaded tomorrow, while Monday's chapter will be uploaded on Tuesday. Wednesday we'll return to the normal schedule.
Exams get in the way sometimes, though thankfully, everything has been going well on that front, so far :). Graduation, here I come!
2023-01-14 18:07:55 +0000 UTC View PostThe next morning, I woke feeling well-rested. Thankfully, no bugs had gotten curious and entered our little chamber while we slept, because that might have resulted in an unfortunate accident.
Emeri, on the other hand, looked like she hadn’t slept a wink. Purple bags rested beneath her ey...
2023-01-12 16:09:50 +0000 UTC View PostSure enough, it took us another five tries before the termites finally trusted us enough to leave us alone while they harvested our carefully prepared feast for materials and nourishment. Another five times we had to slaughter all nearby creatures and pile them up in a heap. If not for the two le...
2023-01-10 18:02:51 +0000 UTC View PostWhy did I think this journey would only take two weeks? At the rate we were going, we wouldn’t make it to the temple within a month!
The problems had started the moment we had entered the dessert and Aho’s valley gave way to loose sand and endless dunes.
Unsurprisingly, the sand w...
