2nd post today, don't skip ch 87
Triss kept calm, even when everything else fell into chaos. Again. Earlier that day, she had left with the rest of her makeshift squad, a mixture of surviving Verdant Grove Guards and some of the original Guard of Orken. She understood...

Triss flexed her fingers, slick with sweat and grime, causing the wooden shaft of her spear to creak. The darkwood rod was well-worn by time and training, any roughness long since smoothed away b...
2021-06-21 21:37:42 +0000 UTC View PostSecond chapter posted today, don't skip chapter 85.
I had become extremely popular over the week that followed, something that was satisfying to experience. It meant that my efforts to convert the Coreless had not gone to waste. The younger members of the many-nest’s Core...
2021-06-21 03:08:49 +0000 UTC View PostI'm almost done with a second chapter, but the writing has been going pretty slow today. Should be up sometime before I go to bed.
The flickering of the thought-light greeted me as I came to, its welcoming glow thrusting me into full awareness at last.

2021-06-19 22:00:40 +0000 UTC View Post1/2 for the day
From the moment that I had been created, I had known what I was. I was Paradox. I was the sole creation of the Great Core. I was special.
This...thing had tried to strip that away from me. It had tried to make me forget who I was. It had tried...
2021-06-19 21:56:48 +0000 UTC View PostDOUBLE POST, DO NOT SKIP CHAPTER 81.
The next four Blood of Tiamat - an odd name for the revolting monsters, I couldn’t help but think - proved to be an exercise in willpower to consume. More than anything else, it was my pride that stopped me from giving up. They were di...
2021-06-18 21:48:45 +0000 UTC View PostI wrote a second chapter as well today, which will likely be posted within the next 30mins-1hr. Just a heads up.

I hissed in delight as [Chrono Fire] finally disappeared with an intense clap of noise, burying my own sounds underneath it. The revolting bad-things were clumped around me in a great pile, riddled with sel...

Valera grinned widely, eyeing Rowan’s shocked expression. The man looked exhausted, worn to the bone in a way that she had never seen him before. Still, it was good to see him alive. Valera had been worried; as competent as Ro...
2021-06-17 21:08:25 +0000 UTC View PostI still remembered the time before; the time when I had just been a helpless little snake, with only my own faith in the Great Core keeping me sane as I witnessed the dangers of the World Dungeon and its many bad-things. How could I not remember that time?

Heading out for dinner right now, but I'm about halfway through another chapter which should come out later tonight. Going to aim for i...
2021-06-14 23:33:23 +0000 UTC View PostRowan huffed with exertion, moving his legs more through sheer force of will than via his actual muscles. The last week had been a series of long-running battles, with only brief moments of respite between each of them - and even those had been full of tension, with the possibility of ...
2021-06-04 21:13:17 +0000 UTC View PostBlood trickled down my throat, spilling from the tears in my throat-flesh; I swallowed it down carefully, clamping down on my tail before my [Poisonous Blood] could drip down on the-female-who-was-not-Needle’s shoulder.

2021-06-02 21:48:24 +0000 UTC View PostMy throat warped and shifted, becoming something new. My flesh ripped and knit itself anew under the Great Core’s power, becoming something better. Somewhere else, something formed in my body that I couldn’t identify, sculpting itself in time with the reshaping of my throat-flesh.<...
2021-05-26 22:58:41 +0000 UTC View PostI hissed in rage as another Coreless fell. My scale-flesh quivered with the strength of it, and a drip of venom spilled from my fangs as my control loosened. I pulled back against it, holding the rest of it tight. My venom wanted to flow free with my rage, to run in rivers from my fang...
2021-05-24 17:15:49 +0000 UTC View PostWhat felt like a long time passed as the Coreless and I traveled swiftly through the dim caverns and tunnels. Glow-caps and more lit our way, casting shadows that walked alongside us throughout the journey. I could see signs of past bad-things lining the walls; a scratch here, a gouge ...

2021-05-20 00:06:48 +0000 UTC View PostThe ringing meant something to the Coreless; it sent them into a flurry of motion that led us to the edge of the many-nest in hardly any time at all. Only the-female-who-was-not-Needle was left behind - or, rather, she had left all of us behind, running off in a different dire...
2021-05-15 04:43:35 +0000 UTC View PostThe bell continued to toll, filling Valera’s ears with its brassy tones.
Her legs pumped as she ran through the streets, leaving the Seeker Barracks behind. Soon enough, each step began to cause the ground below her to bounce slightly as she left one of the many islands of ston...
2021-05-12 06:02:12 +0000 UTC View PostOre-flesh rang against ore-flesh, fang against fang, as the Coreless fought against one another.
To one side, Needle used her needle-spitter to send needle-fang after needle-fang into a circular target. They thunked against it in a relaxing rhythm of repeated beats, only broken b...

2021-05-08 05:58:20 +0000 UTC View PostI tried to hiss, my tongue pressing firmly against my sealed-shut lips, and glared balefully at my betrayer. She-who-was-not-Needle, the lowest of the low, stared back. I could see it in her eyes; she knew what she had done. She knew that she had earned my ire.
