The Arena, as Marcus found out once he got there, was a massive building of steel and glass that looked like an industrial warehouse located right on the river shore. Judging by its position and appearance it probably used to be some sort of shipyard in the past, but right now it was clearly an e...
2024-01-21 10:28:02 +0000 UTC View PostHello and happy new year everyone! Sorry if I didn't post a chapter in a while, but I was pretty much sick all month. Rest assured, I'm recovered now and I have gone back to writing! So I hope that the new year it's going to bring a more stable schedule and I'll try my best to deliver more chapte...
2023-12-31 22:49:07 +0000 UTC View PostMarcus welcomed the sight of the Red Light District's lights, feeling the same relief as a castaway who sighted land on the horizon. The trip in the coach had been a veritable ordeal of awkwardness because of the intrusive thoughts caused by being so close to Yasen in an enclosed space. He had tr...
2023-11-27 00:46:00 +0000 UTC View PostMarcus was whistling happily as he got ready to leave the royal palace. Or at least he was trying to whistle, since his lips weren't really suited for that activity. The result was more akin to a high pitched blow, but since it still worked as a way to express just how good his mood was he didn't...
2023-10-26 14:20:36 +0000 UTC View PostMarcus woke up to the sound of someone knocking at his door. At first, in his sleep-induced daze, he tried to ignore that noise, hoping that whoever was outside his room would give up and go away, but after a few seconds his thoughts started working properly again and he reluctantly opened his ey...
2023-10-12 23:28:47 +0000 UTC View PostTrue to her name, Tiny Sneaky was sneaking through a tiny passage. It was very late at night, or perhaps very early in the morning —it didn't matter much to the ogress, whose concept of time didn't really go beyond day and night— and pretty much everyone in that weird and big palace she was i...
2023-09-19 22:02:24 +0000 UTC View Post“Merry Toathal, Felix.” Klara cried loudly to make herself be heard over the wild cheering of the crowd around her.
“Merry Toathal to you too, Klara!” The apprentice sorcerer replied equally loudly, with a huge smile on his face.
They were in the middle of Temples Square, a hu...

Here is the draft for chapter 141! Sorry for the long absence, but I had some serious health problems with summer!
2023-08-31 22:20:31 +0000 UTC View PostMore than one hour and a half later, Marcus was not only even more hungry, but also bored out of his mind. The pause he had been waiting for had never come, as Eisen and Trakk had basically been talking nonstop ever since they had arrived. The goblin had been telling the tale of the battle of Tre...

Draft for chapter 140! I'm immensely sorry for the delay, but I got an emergency with a family member that kept me from writing at all for weeks! My family member is better now by the way, so things have been back to normal.
2023-07-04 22:06:00 +0000 UTC View PostMarcus groaned loudly, feeling far too annoyed to care if anyone heard him.
Luckily right now he was alone in his rooms, waiting for the banquet to start, so no one else was present. Despite this he still couldn't force himself to relax, not when he could be called to join the celebrations ...

Draft for chapter 139! Sorry for the delay, but seasonal allergies hit me like a hammer this year and I quite literally spent two weeks barely able to see or breathe.
2023-05-30 23:36:04 +0000 UTC View PostMarcus stared longingly at the plate in front of him.
Like the snack he had before, the dinner too consisted of a collection of different types of raw meat, which looked absolutely delicious to him. Moreover, he had just laid a few eggs in his room before going out to join the marquis for d...

Draft for chapter 138! Sorry for the delay, but my old pc finally decided to kick the bucket, and I'm still getting used to the new one's keyboard!
2023-05-07 00:11:33 +0000 UTC View PostIt took several minutes for the coaches to ascend the winding and steep road to the top of the hill, but then, after several minutes, the convoy from Brettholz finally reached the gates of Graystone Fortress. Once there, they had to make a brief stop as the guards at the doors checked their ident...

Draft of Chapter 137! Sorry if it took me a while, but my old work PC died on me and I kinda had to rewrite the start of the chapter (which I had forgot to save online) from scratch on my other PC.
2023-04-18 21:56:00 +0000 UTC View PostFrom a vantage point on top of a hill, Marcus looked in awe at the city below him. The small rural towns he had visited so far had done little to prepare him for the sight of Rennhafen, which was not only the first settlement that could rival the ones from his old world in size, but also extremel...
2023-03-31 14:47:06 +0000 UTC View PostIt was almost sunset when the coaches from Brettholz stopped for the night in a small town called Lomonn. The marquis had booked the town's best inn in advance, so when the group arrived several servants were waiting for them right outside of the building, ready to carry their baggage to their ro...

Hello everyone! Sorry for the long absence, but last week I got a really bad flu that kept me from doing pretty much anything! I do feel much better now, so I'm back in business! Here is the draft for the next chapter to begin with!
2023-03-18 23:51:10 +0000 UTC View PostIt was early in the morning when a long line of coaches left the gates of Brettholz, heading north on the road that cut through the snow covered fields.
Aboard one of those carriages, Marcus was restlessly drumming his chitin-covered fingers on his seat. Though he would have liked to relax ...

Draft for chapter 134! Sorry for the delay everyone, but my PC died on me for a few days and I just managed to recover the data!
2023-02-22 22:35:15 +0000 UTC View PostAs Marcus reached the first floor of his home, the noises that had interrupted his conversation with Orr suddenly stopped, replaced by a complete silence. However, this only made him feel more alarmed.
“What the hell is going on now?” He wondered.
He paused for a moment, ...

Here is the draft for the complete chapter 133! Sorry it took me so long, but this chapter just wouldn't come out right and I had to rewrite it many times!
2023-02-02 01:44:43 +0000 UTC View PostIt was just about noon when Orr's coach entered the Vex lands, and it was immediately seen by Marcus through the eyes of the various drones hidden in the mold-wax fields.
“Right on time.” The Vex Queen thought, stepping out of his home to greet his guests.
