(Tabula Rasa) Chapter 62: Getting To Work

Light broke over the fortified camp, revealing numerous corpses of dead soldiers. The forces under Fox’s command had begun digging a mass ve as morning set in. Only after the installation was secure would civilians be allowed to enter. 

“So, what do we do with him?” Hawk asked, n...

(Memento Mori) Chapter 79: The Demon Prince

When I raised my head, I found myself in the inner court once more with a pair of eyes locked onto me. 

“Uh… what the fuck are you doing?” Alexandra asked bluntly.

The demonic rapier had found itself at my feet. With a thought, the penumbra emerged and wrapped its shadowy f...

(Memento Mori) Chapter 78: Dancing With Demons

The realization struck me cleanly as we made our way over the extended drawbridge, an admirable construction that remained sturdy beneath the waves of heat that threatened to draw life from us.

Ruins were self-contained spaces, little loops that reset quite often. Unless they went untouched...

(Memento Mori) Chapter 77: An Empty Castle

Casper met the Hell Knights without reservation. His body moved like a gust of wind, while his blood spear continued to rotate. With the miasmic flame adorning the spear’s tip, it was more than enough to deal with the legion of monsters forming in front of him. 

With a step forward, ...

Hot. 

A single word could describe the climate into the infamous ruin and it was the most fitting.

The expansive cavern sported lava waterfalls, crooked towers of stone, bat-like creatures flying through the air and just a general air of…– well, hellishness.

Geysers of ...

(Memento Mori) Chapter 75: A Night To Forget

 

Matthew groaned as he began to recollect the events of the previous night. A friend of a friend invited him to an outing and he went along. It was a pretty standard get together, but an extremely attractive man accompanied by similarly beautiful men and women invited him back to an ...

(Memento Mori) Chapter 74: A Fair Trade

 

Disappointment wasn’t quite the word that fit, but it felt close to how I felt now. I knew very well that the penumbra no longer had the same appetite it once did, but never did I imagine that piling all of the artifacts I gathered from my fights with New Era would fail to make it ...

Firstly, I'm terribly sorry for the delay, but I have good news! 

I wanted to attempt to upload 20 chapters in October and then 20 more in November, with a new chapter going up every day. That clearly didn't turn out well, but the chapters meant for October are already writt...

(Memento Mori) Chapter 73: The More Souls, The Better

 

Standing alone in alleyway nestled between two buildings, a figure with a bag slung over his shoulder toiled away in the shadows. His hands moved, painting a brick wall with some strange substance.

“Hey!” A man wearing several rings shouted at the vandal. “Hey, old man?! ...

(Memento Mori) Chapter 71: Is It The World Or Is It You?

I chipperly ate away at a pile of junk food while Alexandra tapped her foot not too far away. Oliver was free of the Drachen Arch’s control, but his condition was unstable. The arch helped preserve the physical condition of those who were in it, in addition to both Oliver and me having gifts th...

Somewhere in Great Britain. 

An old man sauntered forward, pushing open the rusted door of a chamber, keeping a solemn frown as the metal hinges groaned. 

As light entered the room, a dust-covered, circular, table was revealed. Inscribed in its surface was a fad...

(Memento Mori) Chapter 69: One Hundred Heads Are Better Than One

 

I had achieved another milestone in my 'ascent' to the peak, rather than it being an observable achievement, it was better described as gaining enlightenment.  

Before separating my lifeblood, I read all sorts of documents that pertained to the soul itself. It was only now...

(Memento Mori) Chapter 68: Penelope's Nightmare, Rusalka's Past, Alexandra's Regret

Penelope looked upward to the twilight sky her face carrying the same melancholy as it always had. The promised day Casper had arranged had come and gone, leaving her to face rejection as he failed to call for her.

Penelope didn’t take it to heart, or, she tried not to. She couldn’t hel...

Black crows with red-tipped feathers descended from the sky before a human-figured was revealed. His body was covered in plates of ivory that protruded from his skin, covering each individual muscle like a protective shell. The bone mask protecting his face revealed a set of familiar...

(Memento Mori) Chapter 66: Life From A Drop Of Blood

 

I was met with scenes of my previous fights, nearly all of them and I couldn’t help but frown, especially when I witnessed myself wielding blood, I could see where I grew and gained experience, sure, but there was no discipline, maybe? No, I guess Oliver would say control. Somethin...

Oliver Hallworth, I looked at him once more. His soul was… odd. Activating my Spirit Vision showed a soul that continued to blink, alternating between a blinding radiance and a dim flicker. Since I had never seen a soul as indecisive and strange as his, I had trouble placing it.&nb...

Heads Up (Announcement)

It's a little late to say, but I'm a bit under the weather at the moment. It seems to be nothing more than a common cold, the fact that it is incurable still surprises me to this day. 

I've attempted to convince myself that I'd be perfectly fine to write the next day, but I've told mys...

(Guardian Of Nature) Chapter 6: Bright Feather

 

Gaining insight into the element of air was no small thing. I didn’t just gain a sense of power, but rather, a feeling that was almost indescribable.

Air represented freedom, it was an expansive force of nature that, when given direction, could become immensely destructive. T...

Brodir entered a tent under the watchful gazes of the tribe members. Fear and caution fell over them as they eyed him, but he didn’t pay any attention to them. 

Throwing open the tent flap, Brodir was met with the image of his son, Jorgun, beaten and broken.

We were guided into an encampment which featured a gathering of hide and cloth tents. Most of the bloodhorn were corralled into a sturdy cage made from fallen trees and logs. I rested within the center of the panicked Bloodhorn who let out aggressive cries, breathing wildly as fear a...

(Memento Mori) Chapter 64: The Drachen Arch

I had time to breathe. 

The phantom heart was slowly forming within me, its empty yet ever-present weight could be felt in my chest. It wasn’t there physically, but as it took shape, it felt like it was manifesting in a corporeal form.  Paired with the faint feeling of the miasm...

There were two lookouts posted at the front entrance of the factory. Their presence served as a big deterrent to any curious individuals and if someone stronger were to appear, they at least could delay the intruders and warn anyone inside.

Sunny stood outside as the sun began to set. A cold wind blew over the apartment complex, but she seemed unbothered by it.

When the girl hadn’t responded, Rosemary reached out to ...

Hardly thirty minutes had gone by before we ended up at some restaurant. Alexandra ordered me some food, took a phone call, and then returned. I couldn’t see what she was thinking under her sunglasses, but she didn’t appear to be disturbed.

Alexandra stood near a middle-aged man who chipperly perused a bookshelf.

“So, my son is an employee of yours? I mean, Casper’s always been a bright one, he just forgets that sometimes. You know, after his mother passed, he became– a little anti-social. I still remember f...

(Guardian of Nature) Chapter 3: Calm Morning, Stormy Night

Within a few days, I had spent at least ten hours following the flow of air. Meanwhile, the structure of this world became more apparent. During the day, most predators were asleep, no doubt saving their energy for their nightly hunts. I found it strange seeing that there was an obvious balance. ...

I began consuming unthinkable amounts of vegetation as I pushed deeper into the wilderness. The discovery of new species left me speechless, not that I could actually speak. Large birds sporting a bright plumage as colorful as the rainbow itself. Boars the size of small cars and hare...
