Comfortably sitting in his hot pool in Stonebarrow, Marcus idly inspected his chitin-covered toes while his copy-drone walked through the halls of the marquis's palace in Brettholz.
“Hm. The chitin on my limbs is as shiny as ever.” He thought. “I can't say for sure, but I...
2022-12-23 23:21:57 +0000 UTC View PostIt was early in the morning when Marcus was woken up by the sensation of being crushed by something incredibly heavy. In his half asleep state, the first nonsensical thought that passed in his mind was that a horse was sitting on him. He then decided to ignore it in the hope it would go away.

At one point, the nobleman raised his tired eyes from the documents he had been reading and looked out ...
2022-11-18 13:02:46 +0000 UTC View PostHello everyone! Sorry for the long absence, but in case you didn't know I had an accident two weeks ago, and since then I had a series of health issues that, while not really serious by themselves, kept me from writing.
I am mostly recovered now (though not completely yet), enough to get back...
Hello everyone! First of all, sorry for the wait, but I had a little accident and I had to recover before getting back to writing. Don't worry, I'm fine now and I'm already back to work at the story. And second, as you may have noticed, I have deleted most of the initial chapters of the novel. Th...
2022-10-24 21:29:50 +0000 UTC View PostThe storms that had struck Medelan had finally abated. A pale sun shone on the snow-covered fields from a clear blue sky and the streets of Brettholz were crowded with people eager to stretch their legs after the weeks they were forced to spend indoors. Children played in the snow while the adult...
2022-10-15 16:58:56 +0000 UTC View PostOnce upon a time, in his previous life, Marcus had considered himself capable of being fairly intimidating. After all, among the odd jobs he had done to make ends meet, he had also worked as a bouncer in a club in the middle of a rather ill reputed area, where the ability to force unruly and ofte...
2022-09-21 21:22:24 +0000 UTC View PostThe house of the Mothers was by far the biggest and fanciest building Marcus had seen in Goblinia. It was a large two-storeys tall mansion that probably used to be an inn before the goblin occupation that showed signs of having been recently renovated. The walls were freshly painted, the windows ...
2022-08-29 15:59:17 +0000 UTC View PostHello everyone! I'm very sorry for the long leave, but I was away on vacation and while I did bring my PC with me, as I intended to keep on writing, sadly there was no internet connection whatsoever in the place we were staying (something I didn't anticipated, otherwise I'd have told you guys in ...
2022-08-25 23:35:52 +0000 UTC View PostFor once, as he piloted the copy drone plodding through the snow-covered road, Marcus felt incredibly grateful for not having to do that particular trip in person. The weather had worsened significantly over the past few hours, eventually turning into an actual snowstorm, and winds were too stron...
2022-07-30 21:35:08 +0000 UTC View PostBy all accounts, Marcus should have been reasonably happy right now.
For starters, he was finally under a real roof in his house in Stonebarrow, sleeping on an actual bed and even having multiple warm baths per day. He didn't have to rush making drones to fight some terrible enemy either, a...
2022-07-18 19:27:17 +0000 UTC View PostWhen marquis Eisen and his followers returned to Brettholz they were received with little to no fanfare, as winter had finally begun in earnest and the icy wind had dissuaded all but the most enthusiastic citizens from getting out of their houses to greet their lord. Moreover the soldiers were al...
2022-07-04 00:35:35 +0000 UTC View PostThe weather grew more and more inclement as the Brettholz army made its way home. An unpleasant mix of snow and rain fell on the marching army, turning the dirt of the road into a cold and slippery mud while an icy wind blew from north east, carrying even more dark clouds with it, so that there w...

Here is the Draft for chapter 122. Sorry for the wait but the sudden summer heat hit me like a hammer and I had to get my air conditioning repaired before I could start writing coherently.
2022-06-15 23:32:21 +0000 UTC View PostIt was a cold morning, with gray clouds covering the sky and a few snowflakes falling here and there, signaling that winter had finally arrived in Medelan.
Despite this rather inclement weather however the goblin camp near the city was brimming with frenetic activity. The humanoids were in ...
2022-05-31 22:28:07 +0000 UTC View PostAfter the Vex left, the clearing where the oni had met his demise was completely deserted. No bugs nor birds approached it, and the silence was broken only by the occasional breeze rustling a few leaves.
Then, all of a sudden, an angry, young-sounding voice spoke.
“This is bullshit!...

Here is the draft for chapter 121! Sorry for the wait, everyone!
2022-05-30 22:42:13 +0000 UTC View PostHello everyone! I'm writing this to let you know that I'm sorry for the slight delay, but as the story is entering a new narrative arc with the next chapter I needed some time to hammer down a few details, take some decisions about how to develop some plot lines and so on. I am already back to wr...
2022-05-24 14:12:54 +0000 UTC View PostWhen Alya gave her ultimatum, Blueskin was still struggling to recover from having his arms cut off and most of his internal organs turned into mush. However, these physical wounds were still nothing compared to how much damage he had taken to his ego.
The oni's mind was a maelstrom of emot...
2022-05-11 10:28:28 +0000 UTC View PostFor the second time that day, Blueskin was running for his life.
He had all but forgotten his plans of revenge and all he cared about now was to get the hell away from the Vex that chased him. The horrible memory of being swarmed over and hacked to pieces by the bug-like creatures was too f...
