Einar studied the dwarf who sat across from him. Fotgror seemed more relaxed than any other dwarf he had encountered on this entire trip. A small pipe filled with some tobacco rested between those large fingers, a small wisp of smoke drifting upward.

This is strange. We’re heading to the same spot Kels trained me in… how can he hope to help me level my skills faster when the enchantment doesn’t work like that?
Resisting the urge to say anything, Francis simply followed the one-armed man.

2025-09-08 13:00:09 +0000 UTC View PostFrancis had made sure to remember all the names and details he could. Weaving a lie and making sure it was the same would be the only way he didn’t get tripped up when telling it.
At least he isn’t on his throne.
They had moved to a different section of...
2025-09-07 13:00:08 +0000 UTC View PostSo you may have noticed a bunch of different things coming out in the recent days.
Even with life going crazy, I've been putting in work. My biggest problem is I can't sleep. Combine that with my brain always going and I've been getting up some days at 1am or 2am and writing for a f...
2025-09-06 21:42:06 +0000 UTC View Post“Einar, I have come as I have promised with guests in tow,” Vrádni said. “It appears your arrival has garnered much attention from my brothers and sisters, and they need to see firsthand the Vikings that have come to uphold their promise.”
He nodded, and Einar gave a slight bow at ...
2025-09-06 14:41:09 +0000 UTC View Post“What in a trolls arse are you lot doing in the tunnel?!” a dwarf shouted at them.
Einar turned toward a massive dwarf, a scowl that could scare children or curdle milk that was stomping in their direction.
“Oh shite, that’s Vrádni Deepdelver,” Bartia whispered. “He’s t...
2025-09-06 14:40:21 +0000 UTC View PostStanding in Stenson’s tent, Francis wondered why the man lived like this, as nothing was special or gaudy.
He’s the general yet doesn’t have anything cool. How does someone in his position have so little?
Even the armor on different stands was functio...

“All you want is for me is a guarantee that I will come the next time you summon a demon and that then you will inform me of what my actions have cost me?”
“I would be foolish to trade away such a t...
2025-09-06 13:00:07 +0000 UTC View PostFrancis could almost zone out through most of the first few moments, able to repeat everything as the previous time, earning some extra silver, punching a bully he hated, and securing a chain helm after having learned what not to say to the same armorsmith.

You’re sure about this?
No, but we need to test it and this is the best time and place to do so. Again, we shouldn’t be in trouble as you’re more than just the physical side of things. Still, with those two...

2025-09-04 21:46:26 +0000 UTC View PostA wave of energy shot forth from Stenson's blade as he swiped it at the incoming beasts, even though they were still over twenty yards away.
Two of them stumbled to the ground, their front two legs cut off as some spell or attack connected, sending them tumbling end over ...
2025-09-04 21:01:44 +0000 UTC View PostThe veteran line collided against the enemy’s defenses that had formed faster than Francis had thought possible.
It was almost as if they had materialized out of thin air, appearing in the battle rows right after they had detected the attack.
“There are a ...

“Sage?” Stenson said, finishing the sentence for Priscilla.
She huffed, her blue eyes displaying no favor for the boy she glared at.

“At this point, I have to believe that Egbus sent you to us, because there is no other explanation for your presence,” Stenson declared. “We’re in a war that we are about to lose, and yet, a Sage suddenly appear...
2025-09-04 21:00:02 +0000 UTC View Post“The problem is, we have been using artifacts to accomplish anything of value. Our mages aren’t as strong as we wish, and the fact that we only have two who are barely master rank makes this all harder,” Stenson stated.
“Barely a master, he says,” mo...
2025-09-04 20:59:51 +0000 UTC View Post“So, what do you wish to know?” Stenson asked as they moved through the chaos of the camp.
“I’d be interested in finding out why we stopped our attack? I mean, I understand we lost a lot of troops, but if what I just learned from Nehemiah is true, both sides shoul...

Rows and rows of soldiers moved out — the one he had been with was far out front, before the real fighters.
No longer was the enemy hidd...

“Unfortunately,” replied Kels. “My dear mother apparently had a soft spot for injured animals and old men missing teeth. How was she to know he could still sire a child?”
“Bah! Your...
2025-09-04 20:57:47 +0000 UTC View PostFrancis felt the shimmer of power wash over him as he stepped over a line of glowing red sand that encircled the King’s tent.
Upon placing both feet on the other side of the sand, the landscape around the tent changed. Light was everywhere like an early morning sunrise,...

“I’m the captain, and as you know, right now I’m about as close to the King and his personal advisors you can get, so unless you want to take it up with him, do what I need and then go...
2025-09-04 20:57:02 +0000 UTC View PostFrancis took a step back after an older guard, who smelled of sweat and stench, shoved him. “Listen, boy, I don’t have time for this. If you won’t go away, I’m going to beat you senseless.”
The other guard that was blocking his path snickered at him, and F...

Francis watched as his brother and the other two roused from their sleep. He had already woken up, aware of when it would happen, and was trying to recall everything he had done the previous time.
"It's happening... It's reall...
2025-09-04 20:52:13 +0000 UTC View PostThe sound of the morning bell rang out, causing Francis to bolt upward in bed.
"It's earlier than usual," Michael grunted as he sat up. "What gives?"
Francis’ eyes shot open and he clutched his aching chest, groaning.
"Francis, you okay?!" Michael asked.

Blood was pouring into his eyes from the gash in his scalp, yet all Francis could think of was wanting to kiss the armorer who had given the helmet.
A clawed swipe by a tiger-kin or something had struck his head partially, and while the claw had raked across ...

2025-09-04 20:50:24 +0000 UTC View PostSomething was building up at the end of the staff, some kind of force Francis could almost see, a shimmering purple and black orb.
