This is the first in a series of posts I'll be making of the chapters featuring coded words, but now decoded. Funny story: I didn't actually have the decoded versions of these on hand, so I had to go back and make them. It was pretty easy, since I just used an online decoder to make them in t...

Fixed timeline
“You’re Naomi?” asked Elise.
“That’s me,” she replied. “And you’re Elise. I heard him introducing you earlier.”
Elise was a bit taken aback by the complete irreverence of her speech and postu...

Negligible. Just fixed the timeline.
Salome’s smile vanished, and she and Emilia stared at Elise with blank expressions, as if they hadn’t understood what she just said.
“Stop attacking the dwarves?” asked Jean. “A...
2024-08-13 00:00:02 +0000 UTC View PostAfter a comment here and one on RR, I realized that there were a couple inconsistencies with my stat sheets. This is because I was mostly writing without updating them, and then I went and retroactively created snapshots. This wasn't too bad, since I have a very fancy Excel sheet that auto-calcul...

Almost nothing. Not worth re-reading unless you're re-reading the whole story
This time around, Elise was able to get out of the city without a hitch. She got a few glares and the occasional curse from passerby, but beyond that, there w...
2024-08-09 00:00:02 +0000 UTC View PostElise spent the rest of the day in her room doing nothing. She didn’t cry– she didn’t know the Drow well enough to cry for them– but she did feel hollow. The king had assured her that he’d work something out, but he needed to speak with the Council, and they both agreed that the Council...
2024-08-06 00:00:02 +0000 UTC View PostThanks for joining my Patreon. A couple things to note:
If you're on Apple, you should subscribe through the website, not the app. In the US, Patreon has managed to win the lawsuit forcing Apple to show the real prices, but if you're not in the US, you will be paying almost ...
2024-08-01 23:29:27 +0000 UTC View PostReleasing this to the $5 tier just a little bit early because I have to leave and won't be back for a couple hours, and better early than late.
The king worked fast once he made decisions. Not twenty minutes after the Council meeting was over, Elise was back in the dungeons with Br...
2024-08-01 20:18:00 +0000 UTC View PostSo sorry for the late post for the $5 tier. I completely forgot. I have set reminders for myself to keep this from happening in the future
“...So as I mentioned before, your majesty, not much information of value.”
“Not much of value?” said Hallbjorn. “Not much of v...
2024-08-01 20:17:00 +0000 UTC View PostOnce again, apologies for the other tiers for the ping. I have to set it like this because Patreon doesn't allow different release dates for different tiers, so my options to let the Forest Rabbit tier know this chapter is now available are this, or reuploading it entirely.
Another...
2024-08-01 20:16:00 +0000 UTC View PostApologies to the higher tiers getting notified about the edit here. In order to notify the lower tier that this chapter is now available, it is necessary, because Patreon doesn't allow different release dates for different tiers for some reason.
The morning started as usual with El...
2024-08-01 20:15:00 +0000 UTC View PostIt took two and a half months for Elise to finally convince the king to let her outside the castle. Of course, technically, she could leave whenever she wanted. She wasn’t a prisoner or anything. She was there due to a mutually beneficial agreement that she could terminate at any time. Technica...
2024-08-01 20:14:00 +0000 UTC View Post“Y-yes,” said Elise. “How? Is that orb a translator?”
“It is,” said the king. “I am King Hallbjorn. Do you have a name?”
“Elise. You called me ‘Fated One’ earlier. What does that mean?”
“It means you are the Fated One. You bear the Rune of Fate.”

As the creature sank back into the dark water, she continued to fly up, as high as she could, until her wings were almost brushing against the roof of the cave. T...
2024-08-01 20:12:00 +0000 UTC View PostIn front of her, there were many purple boxes detailing her new skills and stats, but Elise’s attention was entirely focused on what was behind her. She had wings! Pretty, white fairy wings that glowed!
She didn’t have room to flap them in her tiny burrow, but she could move them ...
2024-08-01 20:11:00 +0000 UTC View PostSimultaneously, the cows’ eyes glowed with heat, and Elise used {Dart} to jump out of the way. She barely got it off in time to avoid the red beams of heat that turned the blue grass where she had been standing into smoking ashes.
Elise did not waste any time thinking. She simply ra...
2024-08-01 20:10:00 +0000 UTC View PostWhen she woke up, for a moment, she was confused about where she was and how she had gotten there. Then, it all came back to her.
Oh right, she thought.
She wanted to cry again, but it seemed all her tears were spent. She just lay as she was for a few minutes until her a...
2024-08-01 20:09:00 +0000 UTC View PostSorry, Patrons. Please hold on about half an hour while I get all the posts out properly. I originally had launch scheduled for 3 hours later than it actually was, but I mistimed my shoutouts so I had to bump it early. the others will be up momentarily

These stat sheets are the real time taker, so after this one, I'll focus on getting the actual chapters up, and then I'll go back and include the Stat sheets properly
2024-08-01 20:08:00 +0000 UTC View PostAfter two weeks of being read to every night, Elise was getting a pretty good handle on the world’s language. She was by no means fluent, but she knew most of the basic words, and could understand at least the gist of everything she heard. Reading the language was still beyond her though. Sophi...

2024-08-01 20:06:00 +0000 UTC View Post“Sophie!” Sylvanna pounded on the door for a third time. “Breakfast time!”
Sophie replied with an incomprehensible mumble, muffled by the solid oak door. Sylvanna knocked one more time before opening the door. The room was mostly clean, save for the two books left open on the desk a...

The one in the tree was the girl from the hunter pair that she had seen tracking her slime’s trail the previous day. She was crouching on one of the thicker branches and staring at her with a wide smile. Normally, she would consider a smiling human a good...
2024-08-01 20:04:00 +0000 UTC View PostThe System was way overselling it when it said a mouse could break through the evolution membrane. A determined insect could break through it without issue. The second Elise’s teeth hit it, it burst, filling her mouth with a taste so foul she forgot about her broken foot attempting to flee. Bli...
