They arrived in a desolate part of the ruins of Nashville, miles from the stadium and, therefore, theoretically, miles from where Denny would be looking for them. Or at least, so Julia hoped. It was their little safe house, planned out the night before. She led them quietly through the night, let...
2025-02-15 22:53:01 +0000 UTC View PostDenny tried to spawn more of those golden chains. Colt jumped away, already having seen the trick performed on Jimmy. Those little chains could do a lot of damage without his dagger, especially since they carried the weight of authority and control. While he could form a cut 2025-02-14 20:33:40 +0000 UTC View Post
Colt braced as the smashing noises got closer; with Jimmy out of his cell, he knew at least his friend was temporarily free. They had to get out of here, but that wasn’t going to happen all that easily. He’d have to find a room and then Cut upward, basi...
2025-02-13 19:18:14 +0000 UTC View PostSometimes, to get what a person needs, one must apply a little force. After phasing into the stadium that New Nashville called home, then further ghosting through another wall into the interior part of the city, Colt followed after a lone guard in the darkness of the stands, his hands wrapped aro...
2025-02-12 21:08:07 +0000 UTC View PostBlood leaked from Colt's nose, the warmth bringing him back to true reality. Diving too long into the depths of his soul was a recipe for disaster. He wiped at the blood; his eyes glazed as he looked at the notification. It was the only thing he could see in this pitch-black room with the laundry...
2025-02-12 21:07:16 +0000 UTC View PostThe night after leaving New Nashville was rather dark; unlike the days before, the mist chose to stick around and clung thickly to their bodies as they huddled in a small house at least a couple of miles away from New Nashville. Colt sat near a window, his eyes honed in on the night around them, ...
2025-02-11 23:40:35 +0000 UTC View PostColt was hardly out of the White House door before a new system message popped into existence, filling his vision.

2025-02-10 19:47:43 +0000 UTC View PostWhen they walked into the White House, it didn’t differ much from the first time Colt had entered. There was a pristine sterileness to the air, one that reminded him of the other government buildings he’d been in his entire life. Oppressive and dull by design, from the rows of seats before th...
2025-02-10 00:55:39 +0000 UTC View PostJulia finally broke. The reality of their new world crashed through her carefully maintained denial, bringing her to her knees outside the dungeon's entrance. This wasn't a game. This was their reality now—an apocalypse that had claimed countless lives.
Having a breakdown in the middle of...
2025-02-09 02:24:34 +0000 UTC View PostColt offered to help Nick up off the ground, but the Light Archer was reluctant to take any aid; so he gave him a few minutes as the rest of the group gathered around the exit to the dungeon. The swirling gateway marked the path to freedom; the stark black top of the mountain was getting old to h...

Hours had passed, and all they’d done was hedge bets and hash out how to work out a beneficial agreement to comm...
2023-05-14 21:50:29 +0000 UTC View PostErec was familiar with cards, but what struck him as odd was all the other games at play—tables with dice, the flashing machines with spinning symbols, and the odd red and black wheels. Erec found out the flashing machines were called ‘slots,’ but that explained nothing at all. This was a c...

Erec sat on the hood of Yniol’s car, his hand held out before him. Gwen and Enide sat in for the lecture. Both girls were on either side of him. With Enide going along and trying to lear...
2023-05-08 01:41:40 +0000 UTC View PostHello everyone! Had to write these up for some earlier chapters to replace some content; as you know, I usually have a segment at the top of every other chapter with some quotes, with them half the time being about world-building.
All of these likely won't be going on Royal Road since...
2023-03-08 05:38:43 +0000 UTC View PostAn odd melody plays through the Goblin Caverns when the sun goes down, carried on through a tear from their world to another. Every song is unique and leaves an almost longing feeling toward a different world that they'll never know. High-energy beats, to low sorrowful notes.
Anthems from a...

Coming off of the poll, I'll make a change in the way chapters work, starting with the newest chapters, which will gradually progress their way down the tiers.
This format means a bit more frequency of updates, the chapter batch will likely no longer be a thing (ie. afte...
Strange music drifts on the winds to the Goblin Cave, perhaps through a Rift to another world. Each song has the goblins turning their heads and wondering where they could've come from. From low notes of some strange stringed instrument to vocals with odd cadences.
They're anthems from bey...
A strange phenomenon hits the goblin cave, regarding those odd manuscripts that have been popping up about the Bizarre World. Weirdly, they appear to be related to different sections of those vellum inscribed tomes... Huh.
So, a little behind the scenes. For Bizarre Fate one of t...
