Weekly Roundup #4

Hey there!

It's been two weeks since the last roundup, so here we are again!

First of all, it's been a wild week for me with all the earthquake scare and the sheer work of getting the w...

Arcanist - 82

Valens considered for a long moment an answer to Master Archibald’s question, and came to the simple conclusion that becoming a member of the Magi Guild, a high-ranked member to be precise, seeme...

Arcanist - Chapter 81

Sebastian came holding a tray over his hands, the wine glasses clinking as he shuffled his way to the chairs, looking like a stuck-up fellow from a high-standing family who got offended in a way he...

Arcanist - Chapter 80

“Hold!” Sebastian screamed as Valens strolled calmly toward the old master. “Stop!” the doorman yelled as he scurried around his high desk, clutched the edges of the wooden furniture and la...

No Chapter Today

Hello everyone,

I'm sure most of you don't know, but I'm living in Istanbul, Türkiye, which experienced a rather big earthquake some hours before. Due to safety reasons, my wife and I, with ...

Arcanist - Chapter 79

Valens halted with one hand about to knock on the entrance. He wanted to learn and ask every question that came to mind, to seek knowledge about the arcane and how the Magi of this world approached...

Arcanist - Chapter 78

“It really is a strange world, isn’t it?” Valens muttered when he opened his eyes in the room, the bed creaking as he pulled himself up, wincing to his feet. His body was stiff and sore from ...

Arcanist - Chapter 77

“The Davenport Family… I remember that case,” Saah muttered. “The husband died without an apparent reason, body found floating in the Dark Sea by Belgrave’s Eastern Port. Not a sin...

Arcanist - Chapter 76

Ansel shivered. He tried to breathe, but his throat felt painfully dry. Parched. There was no air here. Nothing left for him to take in. The thick shroud of fog wavered across him. Upon the throne ...

Arcanist - Chapter 75

The arms of the throne chilled his bones. The thick shroud wavered and churned about him. It choked everything around his body. His legs. His arms. His face. Left only his eyes in the open.

Arcanist - Chapter 74

Valens locked himself in the room after the shower. He weaved a Blockage around the door for good measure. He wasn’t sure what awaited him beyond the Gate of Surges, but with a former Wailborn in...

Arcanist - Chapter 73

Garran’s friend had proven his deep knowledge of the market by quickly finding an old, two-room flat in a building with a weekly rent of five Caligian crowns. The price was rather steep, and it w...

Arcanist - Chapter 72

Valens first started with the shoulders. Stress often piled in the back of a body, round the sides of one’s neck and down near one’s core. There would be pain in the head, and around one’s st...

Arcanist - Chapter 71

“Hear…” the Bishop croaked, trembling over the chair like a withered husk of wrinkled flesh, wide eyes staring at Valens, dark veins squirming underneath the skin of his cheeks. “Hear…”...

Weekly Roundup #3

Hello beautiful people. We're here for another weekly roundup!

To start, I'd like to say that we're finally done with the Rising Stars rush(for real, this time), and I can finally take a deep...

Arcanist - Chapter 70

Valens’s skin prickled the moment that string of words took hold of the whole room. Spoken with such grace, with such ease that he turned, ever so slowly, as if taken by the allure of them, to se...

Arcanist - Chapter 69

“That door’s not for knocking, you fools. Enter! Enter right this instant for Blessed Father’s sake, and close the damn thing after you!” Bishop Cornelius boomed from beyond the door the se...

Arcanist - Chapter 68

It seemed all the roads in Belgrave led around in circles, crowded with a gray density of high buildings, pointy-towered churches, wide and giant factories, smoke-belching chimneys, and pits, and m...

Arcanist - Chapter 67

“There’s a difference between a Hollow and a Wailborn,” Garran said, one hand dangling from the window, face turned toward the gentle breeze that rustled the leaves of the trees lining the ro...

Arcanist - Chapter 66

“Close your eyes, and take a deep breath. Don’t think. Don’t focus on a particular thought. Let your mind wander. You might feel some pain around your neck, but that’s normal.”

Arcanist - Interlude & Schedule Change

A day could have all kinds of expectations. A monotonous start to a workday was different from a holiday trip to the woods, lively and full of promises. Meeting with a lover and catching ...

Arcanist - Chapter 64

Valens sat, wedged into the little space under the stairs of the basement with his legs sprawled out in front of him, a searing echo of an agony burning still in his chest, fingers of his right han...

Arcanist - Chapter 63

Valens found the other Priest down in the church’s basement tending to the sick men. Simeon carried the smile of a devoted man too invested in his godly duty, his pate shining under the lights ca...

Weekly Roundup - 2

Some days passed and the Rising Stars rush is finally over. We're about to close the Second Arc, and start with the final Act of the first book.

When I first drafted Arcanist In Another W...
