The disruption on the water continued for a few seconds, but that was the least confusing part to me. I stood up and swiped the small rocks that adhered to my body, a strange feeling of cold remained on my fingers that I used to draw the arrow. Rubbing them ...
2022-08-26 21:06:55 +0000 UTC View PostI shook my head, it was pointless to think about the past. All I could do was think about my mistakes and not repeat them. But, now it wasn’t time for me to think. It was the time to survive. I knew I couldn’t kill the Knell Bear, bu...
2022-08-25 09:46:54 +0000 UTC View PostThe light ball companion — Glim — floated by my side as I surveyed my surroundings. Even though I wanted to bombard it with questions, I had to actually make sure I was in a safe place. Strangely enough, the hulking corpse of the Everwood Moose had ...
2022-08-24 02:52:33 +0000 UTC View PostA/N: These are the first 3 chapters of the new fiction I mentioned!
The Deep Dark has fallen.
The wood creaked as the string tensed, the arrow was pulled as far as it could go. My hands slowly stopped sh...
2022-08-19 08:22:40 +0000 UTC View PostOriginally I was going to continue writing into book 2 as per normal, but honestly I don't think I can do it. I am not really ready for it, with all of that in mind the patreon backlog of DCMAGR will be completely purged. At the same time I have been working on a new fiction all this time whose b...
2022-08-16 04:52:18 +0000 UTC View PostShadows engulfed, cascaded and trembled; mist ebbed and flowed from the ground and air as if it was suspended in time; an eternal darkness encompassed the infinite space as far as he could see, in the space the only change; the only thing that broke the monotony of it were the shadows emanating f...
2022-08-10 07:41:51 +0000 UTC View PostMonster hunting became part of my life. At first it was because I wanted Ash to be able to rely on me, but it also became about trying to help the world.
The monsters would attack people after all.
Monster after monster was slain, or rather slain by Ash and I, felled...
2022-08-09 11:59:41 +0000 UTC View PostI walked through the forest, once I knew I was far enough from the Old man, I summoned my scythe. The shadows gathered from within everywhere amidst the dark, and in an instant the scythe hummed a greeting to me. I had to gather wood to make a fire? I nodded to myself, something dry was ...
2022-08-08 10:26:37 +0000 UTC View PostA/N: Officially 15 chapters ahead -- I think -- odd 3rd person pov in the chapter. Didn't want to turn it into its own standalone chapter.
We arrived home, and as soon as the door closed I heard a deep bellow. It sent a shiver down my spine, Ash was angry. 2022-08-05 08:40:53 +0000 UTC View Post
Ash helped me dig a grave for the farmer after getting some shovels and bringing his corpse out of the Bordering Lands. The sweltering heat was annoying, and Ash really made sure to let me know about it.
“Do you seriously need to bury him, what did he even do?”
“Nothing,” I an...

The Grim reaper stared at me, making me nervous. I had just taken a life, and now… this? I struggled to calm down. Had I done wrong in killing him— in sending him to Elysium? No, that was my duty as a Grim reaper...
2022-08-03 06:50:19 +0000 UTC View PostWe stayed in silence for a few minutes, no things said. Simply, mulling on the things that had happened. I felt happy and Ash was trying to calm herself down, it seemed she was slightly overwhelmed which I found funny. But I didn’t bother her, not wanting to tease her. We waited for a few more ...
2022-08-03 06:48:38 +0000 UTC View PostPart of my day was spent wondering how to go about showing my scythe to the old man, and the other was spent watching TV. I found that simply just staying indoors was enjoyable, perhaps not as enjoyable as making other people happy. But it was a good pass-time for me. Sleeping was easy, waking up...
2022-08-01 08:53:14 +0000 UTC View PostA/N: Brain dry sorry for delay. SoL content should be done soon.
The next day came, and I excitedly went about my morning. I took a shower because it felt great. Once more I decided to simply not rush it and take a taxi, something about not using my scythe and simply doing ...
2022-07-31 10:17:25 +0000 UTC View PostI groggily awoke, feeling completely relaxed. My hand wandered to my side where it encountered a warm object. Huh? I rubbed my eyes with confusion trying to clear my vision. It was a pitch-black rod, its length ran through the bed and it vibrated?
It took me a few seconds,...
2022-07-27 10:46:41 +0000 UTC View PostA/N: Sorry for lack of release yesterday!
After a few more minutes of talking, just like always; The Old man left with a smile, bidding me a farewell. Though he at least made sure to tell me that he was always available to talk, which made the goodbye much less sad. <...
2022-07-26 11:12:13 +0000 UTC View PostIf I did it before the Grim reaper could stop me, then there would be no problems. I’d be able to send the soul I wanted to Elysium and— deal with the repercussions later? Though… there should not be any repercussions… I looked at Ash who had started looking at the ro...
2022-07-22 09:35:12 +0000 UTC View Post“I wouldn’t do that if I were you, Child of the Nekros family.”
His cold voice sent a shiver right through me and my heart skipped a beat, the tears and sadness from the loss of the hound had vanished, but… I looked at the hound’s soul, it was clearly right there beginnin...
2022-07-20 09:46:15 +0000 UTC View PostMy face felt stiff and eyes were dry, I stretched feeling my back pop in the eerie silence. The room had no door— the house was devoid of anyone and everyone. I looked at the curtains that were clearly closed, the shimmering light pooling underneath them. I blinked, feeling a slight headache...
2022-07-18 08:19:28 +0000 UTC View PostThe first mission was uneventful, more so of a pain in the ass rather than anything in Ash’s opinion. Getting around the city was less than intuitive for either of them, it was simply easier to spend their time looking at their screens and laughing at whatever they found funny rather than doing...

The Underworld. A hub of chaos, an interconnected place that was nothing but a stitched malformed world, one where the strong ruled, and one where death was the common law of life. Or...
2022-07-13 08:24:21 +0000 UTC View PostSkeletos Asthen, skeleton, weak. She was a heir of the Skeletos family. She knew she was different from her siblings, much different. Ever since she could remember she was weaker, less bright, and discriminated against by those around her. Though she understood one thing, even if they li...
2022-07-13 08:23:08 +0000 UTC View Post“Long time no see,” the Old man deeply said, seeing me. His smile much more than obvious.
I tilted my head. “Has it really been that long?”
He shrugged. “A day or two? I don’t really count anymore.”
“Then why?”
“Why.” He raised his brow. “Why, what?...
2022-07-13 08:21:50 +0000 UTC View PostI woke up feeling much more refreshed, though I immediately recoiled feeling the grime in my body. Right, I hadn’t washed myself yesterday. I stretched, seeing the colors beneath the curtain, I assumed it was early morning. I didn’t really feel like doing anything. Nonethele...
2022-07-13 08:20:05 +0000 UTC View PostThe driver of the sleek car got off, the headlights pointing at the body of his victim. I wanted to check on Ash, but I had to use my aura for that. And I didn’t want to alert the panicked man any further. He looked nervously before his eyes made contact with mine.
“Y-You…” He point...
2022-07-09 09:15:45 +0000 UTC View PostThe sunlight illuminated the floating dust particles of the abandoned warehouse. At its center a gaping abyss stood as wide as a carriage. The asphalt corroded away, the dirt underneath shimmered from a liquid coating, and the darkness of its depth was unknown.
“Em… what…” I pointed...
2022-07-08 07:57:54 +0000 UTC View PostI laid on the couch in the living room, the light day still coming through the window. Nothing much had really happened, but I felt unwell. I never thought the Underworld atmosphere would be so… heavy? Impactful? It dragged me down as if I had weights placed on my shoulders. 2022-07-07 10:23:07 +0000 UTC View Post
I opened the door with a deep frown, picking up my things from the ground; my backpack and bags.
“You’re already tired of replying?” Ash asked with confusion.
I sighed. “Just leave me alone…”
Ash did not reply to me, but I didn’t care. She had been— s...

After eating in the communal space that seemed to be part of the neighborhood, and getting weird stares from kids, we eventually left the place. Instead of going to our new place of residence we went back to the hotel by using a taxi.
I had to say, it was conveni...
