If there’s one thing the powerful leaders of Nova City hate, it’s being made to look like fools. For months, Mira has done just that, and now that the cat’s out of the ba... 2023-06-18 13:00:05 +0000 UTC View Post
Gunther never took her seriously. He just thought she was a silly girl with some expensive toys. I knew better. I had seen parts of her training. But more, I knew the depths of... 2023-06-17 13:00:02 +0000 UTC View Post
Zeke knocked the trident aside, countering with a front kick that only sent the mer-demon sliding back a couple of feet. As creatures that seemed to swim through the air itself, the Nikapa had a cu...

2023-06-15 13:00:06 +0000 UTC View PostAs always, Gunther has to be difficult. He wants her for himself. Not because of any vendetta – no, he wanted her stuff. The incredibly expensive weapons. The hoverbike that ... 2023-06-14 13:00:04 +0000 UTC View Post
Zeke stretched as he tried to get used to the leather cuirass. It was a curious piece of armor, mostly because he had no idea what sort of animal the leather had come from. After a little testing, ...
2023-06-13 13:00:06 +0000 UTC View Post“You are weak,” said the dwarf, looking Zeke up and down. The dwarf had yet to introduce himself, but he wore a black robe that reminded Zeke of Dáinn, the ancient dwarven king’s backstabbin...

2023-06-12 00:07:18 +0000 UTC View PostI didn’t want to do it. My hand was forced. I can’t let defiance stand. They helped her – knowingly or unknowingly – and they refused to make it right. Now, everyone kn... 2023-06-11 13:00:03 +0000 UTC View Post
I hate traps. They’re so underhanded and dishonest. Instead, I prefer to tackle my issues head-on. But sometimes, the situation demands that we step out of our comfort zones.... 2023-06-10 13:00:06 +0000 UTC View Post
Zeke sighed in relief as he trudged into the mining camp. With his stats, he shouldn’t have been so exhausted, and normally, he wouldn’t have been. However, two facets of his new circumstances ...
2023-06-09 13:00:06 +0000 UTC View PostZeke resisted the urge to summon Voromir from his spatial storage, largely because he instinctively knew that, if it came down to a fight against the creature in front of him, he would be incinerat...
2023-06-08 13:00:05 +0000 UTC View PostJeremiah never went far enough. He held back when he could have given us everything. I won’t make that mistake. I will drag the Specters to the top even if it kills every las... 2023-06-07 13:00:06 +0000 UTC View Post
As he had for the past few days, Zeke followed Silik through the tunnels beneath Min Ferilik. The journey had gone well, but he’d grown bored with the unchanging nature of the caves and caverns. ...
2023-06-06 13:00:06 +0000 UTC View PostPudge crouched amidst the gnarled roots of the massive mangrove tree. It smelled atrocious, and he could feel all sorts of tiny creatures swirling around his fur-covered feet. But that was true of ...
2023-06-05 13:00:10 +0000 UTC View PostHey all! Long time no see. Sort of. I feel like I'm just starting to emerge from a dank cave of editing, and I can't help but be blinded by the light of day. Or something li...

Zeke had long known that the Framework granted some ability to understand foreign languages. He’d first encountered it in the troll caves when the warlord had accused him of being a child killer ...
2023-06-02 13:00:04 +0000 UTC View PostZeke was conflicted.
After spending more than a week trudging through the caverns, caves, and tunnels on his way back to the First City, he was absolutely exhausted. Physically, he was mostly...
2023-06-01 13:00:05 +0000 UTC View PostI thought she would understand. I hoped she would see that what happened was necessary. And I tried – I truly tried – to keep her out of it. But how does she repay me? With... 2023-05-31 13:00:03 +0000 UTC View Post
Pudge held up his hand, extending one claw over his lip as he gestured for Sasha to remain silent. It was a prudent admonition, given that the porcine girl was practically vibrating with a need for...
2023-05-30 13:00:03 +0000 UTC View PostZeke dodged to the left before darting in and hammering his fist into the face of the monster. At the most basic level, the monster resembled a toad, though its skin was covered in pebbles, and it ...
2023-05-29 13:00:06 +0000 UTC View PostOkay, so this is a big weekend for me because I'm finally finished with Mistrunner 2. I definitely intended to get it done far sooner (like 2.5 weeks ago), but while writing, I realized that ...
2023-05-28 19:38:06 +0000 UTC View PostFinally, I know the truth. At first, I couldn’t believe it. How did she survive so long? Why didn’t she come back? All Jeremiah ever did was torture her. She should have th... 2023-05-28 13:00:02 +0000 UTC View Post
