Arthur walked out of the church alone. Itela still had a lot of work to do, most of it aimed at a v...
2024-08-21 17:12:44 +0000 UTC View PostA few boring, normal days passed. Walls got taller. Houses were built. People arrived. And an ever increasing amount of food was ordered in.
“It’s more of an innovation than I thought it would be.” Spiky was pointing at various visual aids on the giant piece of paper he had brought fo...
2024-08-20 16:25:29 +0000 UTC View PostHey guys! Sorry for the late chapter.
A small but important announcement today and a poll too.
Writing Demon World Boba Shop has been great. It’s just the relief a lot of us need and as the author, it’s been just as heart warming to see all of your comments. Unfortunately, as I’...
2024-08-19 16:53:40 +0000 UTC View PostThe weather broke a few hours before midnight. As everyone else picked up their things, stole leftovers, and made their way home, Arthur lifted up Lily and carried her to her little place down the road. Of all the houses in town, Lily’s was the simplest that Arthur had seen. She had a small liv...

Thank you all so much for the amazing reviews!...
“You are a good father-thing.” Mizu patted Arthur’s arm. “Maybe the best one.”
“Maybe the only one. Now,” Arthur motioned at the plates, “are you ready for this?”
“Sure.” Mizu nodded and Arthur swept the clothes off the top of the plates. Mizu’s eyes went wide ...

In the meantime, the system was trying to brew her own tea.
Of course, for someone like the system, an action like brewing tea had to go through several le...
2024-08-16 02:02:56 +0000 UTC View PostArthur found the invention surprisingly endearing. That didn’t stop him from trying to poke holes in Milo’s logic though.
“What if the cart goes to your house and you don’t send it back? It’s out of commission?” Arthur asked.
“It is, but the next request pulls a reserve ...

On paper, Milo and Rhodia had two houses. In reality, they were both using Rhodia’s place for house-purposes.
Where Milo had just picked the first piece of land he walked into after they laid out the plots, Rhodia found a better piece of land with a nicer view. Where Milo had built little...
2024-08-13 21:47:21 +0000 UTC View Post“Lily.” Arthur had not reacted when his favorite owl approached, but that didn’t mean he wasn’t aware of it. “What evil have you allowed to fester in my absence?”
“The signs?” Lily asked. “I like them. Mine’s over there.”
Arthur craned his neck slowly to observe ...
2024-08-13 21:46:31 +0000 UTC View Post“You really didn’t know? We’ve been dating for weeks,” Kout asked.
“But I haven’t even seen you two together,” Arthur said, trying to defend himself. Kout was apparently involved with one of the nicer stamper women, a large turtle demon who Arthur had talked to once or twice a...
2024-08-13 21:45:51 +0000 UTC View Post“Kout, I wanted to ask for a favor,” Arthur said.
“For you? Probably. Anything besides my foraging shoes.” Kout noticed Arthur smirking and looked down at his shoes. “Wait, what are those?”
“These? Just something I had Rebes throw together. You like them?” Arthur asked...
2024-08-13 21:44:59 +0000 UTC View PostThat night, Arthur did something he knew was a good idea but rarely got around to actually doing. He pulled out a pad and paper and tried to put a bit of structure behind the idea of improving his menu. As he sat down at the desk in his house, he realized with a sort of subtle shame that it was t...
2024-08-13 21:43:25 +0000 UTC View PostThe next day, Arthur sat Lily down and cooked some eggs and sausages he had in his cold box, letting the oil from the former mix in with the latter until he had a couple piles of heavy, meaty goodness for their breakfast. Cutting some bread and pouring some tea, he sat down to eat and take his fi...

“You saw this, right?” Lily knocked on Arthur’s door early the next morning, gripping a piece of paper gingerly. “It’s pretty good. It has all the candidates on it and everything...
2024-08-13 21:41:07 +0000 UTC View Post“So are you running?” Arthur dished up Lith’s drink, which was a sleepy-time tea despite it being the early morning. Lith’s work hours tended to swing wildly depending on what he was hunting, and the influx of beasts coming back after the monster wave meant he was taking a few night shift...

The road clean-up continued on. The competition the next day wasn’t as fierce, but casting it as a town-versus-town battle for road-clearing superiority continued to make the work go just a little faster than it otherwise would have. By the time they were done, the rocks were fully moved off th...
2024-08-12 00:31:44 +0000 UTC View Post“Arthur! Over here!” Zelk’s smaller companion waved Arthur over. “The name is Crue, by the way. And this is a lot of rock to pick up. Are you sure your town isn’t called Rocktown? Or stoneplace?”
“We needed every bit of it for the walls. I wish we had twice this much,” Arthu...
2024-08-11 01:14:19 +0000 UTC View Post“Don’t bruise that.” Rebes was circling around a couple heavy-hided monsters nervously. “Do you have any idea what that is?”
“No,” Arthur said, gently lowering the monster onto the pile where they were sorting the leather-based monsters. “What is it?”
“It’s belts...
2024-08-10 03:06:45 +0000 UTC View PostThe party continued all day. Whatever must-do work people had to finish before letting off steam was more or less complete by evening, which meant the plaza was packed until some of the cooks got wise and carried their gear up the cliffside staircase for a bigger space and better view.
Out ...
2024-08-09 02:25:47 +0000 UTC View PostArthur woke up with Mizu already gone. That was sad in a way but happy in others. For one, he didn’t have to figure out the delicate balance of leaving while she was still asleep, or finding a way to get comfortable without waking her up. Those were both things Mizu didn’t care about, outside...
2024-08-06 22:13:43 +0000 UTC View Post“Arthur, decision time.” Onna heard the cheer and was on top of the wall so fast Arthur suspected she had Karbo-jumped to the top. “Are we still retreating? The safe bet is to run. There are hundreds of monsters out there. Maybe thousands. If we’re caught when the wall goes down, it’ll ...
2024-08-06 08:25:43 +0000 UTC View PostWith his limited fishing-combat resources expended, Skal led Arthur away from the doomed wall to their last intact layer of defense. The second wall fell much like the first one did, causing widespread destruction and an empty gulf in the battlefield that was filled in almost immediately by the m...
2024-08-04 15:41:43 +0000 UTC View PostThe wall did not last much longer but it did last almost to the end of Arthur’s shift. The people threw rocks and shot arrows as best they could, but the blocked stabbing-holes and used traps meant that there just wasn’t much more they could do to keep the monsters from carving away at the wa...
2024-08-03 22:55:26 +0000 UTC View PostThe wall was still there the next day.
Arthur wasn’t surprised that it was, considering people with a better eye for structures than him had told him it would be. But he became much, much more perplexed on the how of its continued existence once he climbed the ladder to his ...
2024-08-02 20:08:09 +0000 UTC View PostEven with everything that people were doing, the monster wave was getting closer. The better climbers climbed over the worse ones, who were generally bigger, stronger, and slower builds. Arthur could see a mass of smaller, faster enemies on top of the whole shape, just about ready to leap out and...
