Two weeks later, about a week and a half before the time that Randidly planned to head back to Shal’s world, a group set out from the now bustling headquarters of Erickson Steel to head towards the Ogre Ridge. It included Randidly, Neveah, Tykes, Dinesh, Tatiana, and also Hank and Thaddeu...

No chapter tonight >.<
2018-08-02 04:16:18 +0000 UTC View PostOnly one tonight, because the next chapter is Tessa's last speech, and I want to get it just right.
With all of the people and positions of power talked to, things settled into a nice rhythm for Randidly. For over a month, his days neatly fit into a schedule. He worked on metal...

They settled in a small tea house in the largest border town in the Spriggit branch. Around them, Spriggits talked quietly with White Hunters and a strange lizardman style creature that seemed to be some descendant of the monster race that was rather populous in the area. The server didn’...

Alumuran sat in the basement, feeling the sweat gather underneath his short shaven hair and trickle downwards, across his nose. This room was far too hot, but Alumuran didn’t have any will to complain; this was his lot in life. Although he was chosen to be given great power, that power wa...

The first thing Randidly did after talking with everyone and setting things up was take a nap. It had been… quite a while since he had slept. His Vitality made it completely voluntary. And even afterward, as he opened his eyes, he didn’t feel truly rested.
But he did feel clear. A...

It is a citizen’s duty to view those who hold their lives as high walls before the ferocity and chaos of nature as commendable and virtuous. It follows, then that those who may more triumphantly innoculate humanity from any and all savage Systems deserve further praise. The organic co...

The Headquarters of the Unity Church was in the Northwest quarter of Zone 1, which was by far the least populated location in the Zone. Or at least, it had been. Over the past several months, thousands of people had been moved into the multiple refugee shelters the Unity Church had sponsore...
2018-07-25 05:26:52 +0000 UTC View PostNo chapters tonight. Just didn't like the plot of this arc enough. I really want to do it right, because I feel like Tessa's point is an important one, and the payoff will probably be cool. But the pieces didn't fall right.
I'll try again tomorrow.
Oh, and I'm going through the en...

All of this is to give a better idea of how life in the Zones are ...

2018-07-18 04:55:14 +0000 UTC View PostHey all,
In the interest of clarifying some in the last four chapters, I added a bit of text to the scenes. Not enough to change the outcomes, but it shifted the character of what happened.
For example, I made it more obvious that in my mind, Randidly's real struggle in the fight was a menta...

Chrysanthemum roared as Randidly turned to attack Thea once more. She still hadn’t recovered from being struck by his previous move. However now, he was out for blood. Strike after strike rained down on her. The whole while, Randidly didn’t breath. He couldn’t. It was an existen...

2018-07-16 06:58:54 +0000 UTC View PostWhat a late night. But I wanted to get everything to a more settled spot.
Randidly eyes remained fixed on Thea. The first thing he noticed was the coldness in her gaze, that was far from the Thea he had known. How long had it even been…? Seven months...

Hank looked up at the school in front of him. It was silent, as it was only a scant few minutes past dawn. But it bore the signs of recent use; this school would be in session in a few hours. And yet his feet insisted this was where he needed to be.
