Tutorial Rewrite 122

As you can see, I’ve started getting fewer and fewer skill level-ups, for some reason. But that isn’t important right now.

A black sootflake just fell on my forehead.

Damn it, damn it, damn it, damn it…

I need to act fast. Just running won’t help right now. I need shelte...

Tutorial Rewrite 121

I whirl around, my eyes falling instantly on the being standing behind me. Simel? Is that—

<Chain broken.>

No, it’s just some commander-looking goblin in a hood, pointing at me. Whew, that really scared me! Not being able to smell some goblins is really sta...

Welcome to the crib.

Huh? You don’t know what crib I’m talking about? Why, obviously, this crib!

See, a while back, I realised something important. Sometimes—on a few rare occasions—violence isn’t the answer. Such a moment is now. Kind of. It all began a few weeks a...

And so began my journey across the sandy dunes.

I learned a lot of things and tasted a lot of things, including but not limited to: soot, sand, rock, dog-sized scorpions, small but crunchy flightless birds and the lizards that hunt them, fifteen different kinds of hallucinogenic cacti, soot...

—oor. You know what? I’m starting to get annoyed at always having my internal monologue interrupted by a sudden scene shift. Can’t whoever coordinates this teleportation thing be a bit more respectful? As their obedient, humble servant, I should at least be afforded an inch of dignity in th...

Context-less spoilers

oh and also moleman lol

btw generally speaking if I draw ho-jae with super long hair then it’s really far in the future while if it’s short it’s more present-time. probably. 

hehe

Drawing request from second-tier patreon!

Here it is. I made like three different drafts before changing my approach completely and doing this slight costume-swap thing. I didn’t know what Mort was pointing and laughing at so I just drew a tiny me in the corner. Sorry. It felt fitting with the way he has haunted me these past years. 2023-04-17 22:36:23 +0000 UTC View Post

Ho-Jae + Simel = Friends Forever ❤️❤️

Probably one of the most fun relationships in this story. I mean, what’s more fun than two characters having a drastically different view on what their relationship is? Yes, one of my favourite books is The Collector from 1963, how could you tell? 

If you’re wondering why I’m dra...

Tutorial Rewrite 117

Honestly, the fight itself was kind of disappointing, but it was still fun if only because we got some nice banter going. She’d insult me, I’d insult her back, all the while we traded blows and spells and whatnot. She’d blast off one of my legs, I’d tear off her hand, she made a hole thro...

Tutorial Rewrite 116

A bit more than doable, as a matter of fact. With our forces combined, the chimaera was doomed from the start.

At first, she stupidly wanted to just zap it with lightning and stuff, but I was able to eventually dissuade her. After all, I can’t exactly have her lightning go and stain—or ...

Tutorial Rewrite 115

The witch takes a few steps back, closer to the back of the room. Oh, by the way, the whole room is full of potions and weird ingredients and a big black cauldron and everything else a witch should have. It’s a pretty fun sight because no matter where you look you’ll always see something new,...

Tutorial Rewrite 114

After repeating this with a few more harpies in a few more places, we’ve got the whole forest up in flames. It’s a pretty sight, but the smell of smoke and burning blood and feathers is kind of gross. That said, I do think I prefer the slightly nostalgic sound of widespread screaming to the p...

Tutorial Rewrite 113

Firstly, let’s strategise. There are two distinct groups of harpies, the solos and the flockers. Sure, I could probably just go for whatever’s the closest and hope to get them all eventually, but that won’t work in the long run. The harpies will in time, as a collective, realise no...

Tutorial Rewrite 112

My chest feels tight and hollow and I look down at the enemy below me and I feel my foot start to press down, further and further, grinding my heel into the enemy’s flesh, pushing and pushing and pushing and pushing and I can feel bones break and shatter and crack and snap and yet the enemy won...

Tutorial Rewrite 111

She blinks at me. New, fresh tears stream down her face. “P—please, spare him—”

“Okay, see, that’s question one,” I say, holding up my index finger. “Why are you calling this dumb inanimate arboreal nitwit a he? What’s up with that? Are you dumb or did you just no...

Tutorial Rewrite 110

“Please. Please,” she whimpers, and she was probably about to say something else, but an overhead flock of massive, screeching birds stop her in her tracks. Oh, no, wait, it’s not birds—it’s harpies. Big difference. “No, no,” she whispers in terror, and before I can gather myself to...

Tutorial Rewrite 109

—Closes. Yeah, thanks, very appreciated. And now, we’ll get the message about my inventory. Go on, don’t be shy. How much did my own flesh go for? It’s okay, I’m brave. I can hear it. I picked up a lot of my own skulls and hands, I’ll have you know.

<To repay your debt,

<Hydra (Lv.59) [BOSS]>

Ah. Yeah, uh… I see how it is.

Turning around, I run back into the river. It’s littered with corpses, but the five-headed hydra doesn’t seem to mind as it leaps in right alongside me.

But it’s not like I’m actually trying to escape. No, it ...

—Ridiculous! Oh, I’m back here. Yeah, of course I am. Always back here, always…!

<To repay your debt,

your inventory has been sold

for 121 points.>

Oh, yeah, I did grab a fair bit of lady lure parts. You know… just for the sake of it.

Uhuh. Thanks, Moleman. Appreciated.

Ah, here we go.

The tomb bursts open with sharp bits of rock flying everyone, one stabbing...

Tutorial Rewrite 105

I won’t bore you with the details, but there’s a pretty simple way to catch the lures. See, they aren’t as smart as they seem. Not in the least, as a matter of fact. At first, I just did what I did with the first one by pulling them up on the rocks. This was a pretty good idea. Facing one o...

Tutorial Rewrite 104

—Ah! Wh—where am I?

I’m lying on something hard and rocky. Hm… Oh, I know! It’s rocks, isn’t it? I try to get up, but then I remember that all the ladies borrowed my limbs. Bummer. I wonder what they need them for? Anyway, by turning my neck, I’m able to tell that I am, indeed...

Tutorial Rewrite 102

The scene flashes with red and a loud angry bzzzzz slashes through the air and I feel my heart drop. I look over at Pain.

“Ooh, bummer! So close. Well, eight out of ten points is still quite high, so for your admirable efforts, you get the wonderful prize of—” 2023-01-31 08:26:30 +0000 UTC View Post
