I'll confess - I didn't get quite as much work done this week as I would've liked.  I kept up with my schedule (barely), but the biggest feature of the last few days has been lethargy.  I...

Chapter 277 - Moving Up in the World

Zeke gripped his cheap cudgel, his senses trained on the tunnel before him. With it being at least a hundred feet from one wall to the other, it was wider than most of the other tunnels he’d expe...

Chapter 276 - Regicide

Pudge crouched as he crept through the corridors of the hive, his skill [Concealed Steps] keeping him from being seen by the constantly patrolling warriors. A series of clicking footsteps announced...

Mistrunner 2 - Chapter 38 - Long Overdue

I lost a fight today. First time that’s happened in years. I don’t know what’s gotten into me. It’s like I feel less and less like myself every day. Thankfully, it was ...

Chapter 275 - The Ixilak Hive

Pudge stomped down on the Ixilak warrior’s bulbous torso, feeling its body explode from the force. Golden blood, furry carapace, and the monster’s innards erupted into the air, splattering acro...

Chapter 274 - Natural Treasures

Zeke asked, “So, what’s with the humming?”

“Oh,” said Jasper, who’d finally recovered enough to hold a proper conversation. The pair were sitting at the kitchen table, having just...

Mistrunner 2 - Chapter 37 - Frame Job

They’re all idiots. Echo, for stealing from me. Ashleigh for tempting fate in the Emporium. The morons who thought they could get a quick payday by killing those Cyberdogs. I...

Chapter 273 - The First Trial

Pudge stood before the pyramid, intently studying the structure. Before, when he and the others had been in what Flick called the Mortal Realm, Pudge hadn’t paid attention to things like architec...

Chapter 272 - Blood Wraith

Zeke strained against his uncooperative muscles, pushing as hard as he’d ever pushed before. But it was useless. The cloud of red energy was too oppressive. It wrapped around his body, squeezing ...

Zeke and Jasper reached the edge of the Rainbow Forest after two more days, but thankfully, they weren’t subjected to the volume of attacks that had dogged the initial leg of their journey. Still...

Chapter 270 - The Importance of Adaptation

When Pudge first stepped from the clearing, he stumbled at the sight of the village. Regaining his balance, he couldn’t help but stare. Village might have been a misnomer; the settlement sprawled...

Weekly Check-In (4/9/23)

I know everyone's been waiting with bated breath for the weekly check-in, so I'll just jump right into it.  First, I think I'm just going to officially move this thing to Sundays.  That's...

Mistrunner 2 - Chapter 34 - Gladiator

When I saw the video, I felt only a brief sense of elation, the result of knowing that I had won. I’d beaten the unbeatable. I had toppled a giant. And the prize was mine for...

Mistrunner 2 - Chapter 33 - Poking the Bear

Chapter 269 - Layers

Zeke’s chest heaved as the head of his hammer thudded against the ground, resulting in a sizable divot in the Rainbow Forest’s soft, mossy turf. Raking his hand through his sweaty hair, he look...

Chapter 266 - A Good Fight

Zeke tore through a pair of kobolds with a backhanded blow that filled the air with the sound of cracking bones. They were nasty, little creatures that reminded him of the adolescent trolls he’d ...
