Drak tried to quell the rising tide of blood that turned his vision red as he walked swiftly toward his opponent
Unpredictable, adaptable, versatile… Drak had been ready for all of these things from his opponent. The other man was taller than he was, with black hair hanging around h...

Randidly felt the images traveling through his body, even as Drak continued to advance. He hefted his spear and waited, his eyes sliding to a half closed state, to watch. The sun in his image burned brightly, but then there was a soft ticking, and time began to rush past.
Faster and f...

With his timeline sped up by his opponent’s lack of charm, Randidly was forced to burn another 5% of his mana pool, smashing Drak with more attacks of Spearing Roots. It wasn’t that they weren’t effective, he was clearly feeling sore and tender in some spots from the hits. It was just...

Randidly pressed his own Aether into the spear, banishing the murky Aether he gathered from Drak and reclaiming some of the frustration and rage that Randidly had sacrificed to suck it out of his opponent. Although it was just a small cut in the hand, it was enough for the strange rune to a...
2017-11-07 06:07:43 +0000 UTC View PostOnly two tonight.
Randidly opened his mouth for a retort, but thought better of it. His entire body was quivering, slightly, with the rebound from using the Phantom’s Embrace. The physical toll was higher than it had ever been in battles against Azriel, but...
2017-11-07 06:07:14 +0000 UTC View PostCar battery died, had to lay around Philly for far longer than I wanted.
5 chapters behind. Tentative makeup schedule.
Monday: 3
Tuesday: 3
Wednesday: 2
Thursday: 3
Friday: 1
Saturday: 3
Sunday: 3
Just three for now, and I'll hopefully get another later. Now I need to drive 5 hours.
Plus these three are all an extra page long for chapters... I just wanted to fit it all in!
There was a pause, and the voice ignored Xierk as it continued. “You… feel...
2017-11-03 17:31:32 +0000 UTC View PostI chose to divide it up the POV like this because of criticisms I usually receive about jumping around. So we follow the first half of Lucretia and Shal, then all of Randidly. Let me know what you think~
Everyone was silent as the head tumbled to the ground, and the decap...

Even with a wound in his side, the male spear attendant stood, perplexed, almost heedless of his own blood loss. Of course, his high physical defense stats were starting to slow it down, but he had lost a majority of his health in the single blow, and must be feeling it, Lucretia mused.
... 2017-11-03 17:27:44 +0000 UTC View PostNone today, but that means 4 tomorrow! I have a trip this weekend, and had to do some prepwork.
2017-11-03 04:46:36 +0000 UTC View PostOkay but now for real! All the pieces in place. Should be mostly action for several chapters.
Humming to herself, Lucretia strolled through the streets of Deardun opening, ignoring the celebrating people, drinking themselves into fits of jubilation and contests...
2017-11-02 05:07:40 +0000 UTC View PostOn an unrelated note, I am aware I am behind on royalroad. I should have them caught up to where they should be tomorrow.
Randidly breathed slowly in, then out, feeling the flow of air through him.
He felt… sharp. There was no other way to describe it. He h...

The goal is 60 chapters or so. Godspeed me.

Intense. That was Drak Wyrd. Where others might have turned that fame and strength into arrogance, Drak pushed it down, filling his short brown hair, his mild eyes, his well-muscled stature with it. There was a density and permanence to him that others couldn’t rival. That was part of his...

Randidly opened up his path menu and looked at what he had gained through training.
First was Ash to Ash, which although costly, had increased by 12 Skill Levels. They had made a concerted effort to work on that while they could, and that had lowered the mana cost by a pittance, but i...

The power I received was great, and everyday I grew stronger, but it was not enough. The mountain that they had put in front of me… was high beyond belief. Although I knew the curse of the Eternal Witch, I could not dissuade myself.

Frowning, Azriel considered the man in front of her. “Liam. Don’t you know not to disturb someone during their training?”
Liam’s smile was very tired. The man had acted as an intermediary between Azriel and Drak for several years now, and never failed to smile, although it see...
2017-10-31 04:46:56 +0000 UTC View PostThese should set everything up. All that's left is to let everything fall.
Randidly felt it then, years of experience, of implacable will, of dominating violence, of a deep, sad, knowing love, and a yearning. More than anything else, the spear was filled with yearnin...
2017-10-31 04:46:17 +0000 UTC View PostWhoops, this weekend got away from me.
I have a few chapters to release, but since I've been so remiss, I'll take the extra few hours and try and get this arc closed tomorrow.
Or at least to a spot I want xD.
But I have off work tomorrow, so expect these chapters I owe you!
2017-10-30 05:46:39 +0000 UTC View PostI underestimated Halloween's effect on my productivity.
In other news, I will be giving up first dates and drinking in November, so my productivity should literally double, as I've had planned. Its hard to say if I'll have the chapters I owe out tomorrow, but I'll get them out in the day Saturday!...

Heaving a sigh, Randidly used living blood to manipulate it back into his body.
Azriel spared him a glance. “Take a break. I’m hungry.” Then she walked off, leaving him bleeding in the courtyard of her building. After several minutes of sitting on the ground, recovering, R...

While whistling lightly, an old man stepped forward. The world around him blurred and shifted. He stepped, and again, the land beneath him shifted; where he was once on a forest path, he was now standing atop a mountain. The shift this time was more violent as well, the ground underneath hi...

Shal’s ‘mental’ body had been beaten time and time against by the shade of Aemont, who was absolutely brutal. Each lesson was long and slow, carving into Shal’s body the insufficiencies of his execution of the Style. Every flaw was exposed before the creator of the Spear Phantom Sty...

2017-10-24 04:24:26 +0000 UTC View PostHeya gang,
I wrote two chapters last night, but ultimately didn't post them, because I wanted to rewrite them. This is the home stretch of Cohort 5, maybe only 10 chapters left, and I want to bring together a lot of plot lines. Apologies for the smaller amount of releases last week.
And here...

Black Spear sneered at Azriel. “Hmph, get the fuck out of my way or die just the same. It makes no difference to me. Hehehe, in what sort of world would one of the Great Pillars listen to some uppity bitch from the trashy North? Do you know who you are fucking with?”
Azriel levele...

“When will you be leaving the city…?” Turn asked Ikaas, his face red, his grip on his glass of beer tight. Helen just sighed.
