His neck snapped back, a brutal whiplash tearing through sinew. His spine felt shattered, battered and bent as it shouldn’t. His skull t...
2025-02-24 14:00:14 +0000 UTC View PostAngar shook his head until the words went away. A grawlok was emerging from the pool behind him, and another was beginning to surface in front with two more following it.
He didn’t have time to fight them all. Even if he did, four at once would be too much and prevent him from...
2025-02-20 14:00:17 +0000 UTC View PostAngar shook his head, trying to get the words to go away. He knew demon trickery when he saw it, proven by the tickle of dark whispers that were nagging at his mind.
Thankfully, the words disappeared, and they did so in time for him to watch his father, his brothers, and every high-ra...
2025-02-17 14:00:14 +0000 UTC View PostSo I don't feel so guilty about people paying for dead time, I thought I'd post chapters of something I've been working on. I’m currently working on book 2 of I Shall Remain (planned 10 books total), book 4 of Blood and Qi, and this.
I write pretty fast, and by not getting stuck or gettin...

To orient himself, Dan considered the wall nearest to him the south. If so, Walla was towards the east. He ran away west.

“Yeah,” replied Dan. “I just formed my core.”

“I didn’t...
2025-02-05 14:00:23 +0000 UTC View PostAs Dan finished answering what seemed like the ghost’s millionth question, he wondered if he’d ever get used to the anguished screams coming from all around him. It was maddening and impossible to tune out.
He stood silently, waiting for more questions. When none came,...

2025-01-29 13:12:21 +0000 UTC View PostXotl wondered what would happen when Dan finally died. When he asked the angel about that months ago, she didn’t provide all the specifics, but she did say they wouldn’t die along with him, and if he managed to reach another world, they could leave his soul.
Xotl would love to esc...
2025-01-27 14:38:41 +0000 UTC View Post“Oh, shit,” said Xotl.
He knew he’d be better off if Dan lived and made it to the old and rich world of the second phase, but if it meant Dan being murdered, Xotl wouldn’t mind returning to Hell so much.

He now had a real shot at winning. Earth had a real shot at surviving.

2025-01-17 15:00:13 +0000 UTC View PostDan sat on the ground as thoughts raced through his mind such as why Aphariel was there, why she protected a demon, and where she and Xotl disappeared off too.
He was happy his plan worked. He hoped he caused a lot of damage and killed a ton of demons with that trigger. 2025-01-15 15:00:17 +0000 UTC View Post
Dan cleared all the Boss area Trials. From the last puzzle Trial, the necklace he selected gave protection against demonic damage.
He equipped the necklace. Other than the void-knife he sewed onto his belt, the other rewards were stored.
