A/N: Happy Wednesday everyone! Quick note: I've applied some edits/cleanup this weekend. Here's the resume:
1.37: Character sheet: I was tracking non-cornerstone skills on my end, but not on the sheet. That was dumb and it was making me waste time. Added edits to clarify how the Asp...
2024-07-31 12:38:15 +0000 UTC View Post1.46: The cave’s resident
The multicolored shell popped out of a swirl of purple light, and a fraction of a second later Henry felt crab legs land on his arms. But only for a moment, before they disappeared again, just to pop on top of his head next. Then o...

A boy–around thirteen or so–crossed his arms in irritation. Multicolored cord-like h...
2024-07-24 11:49:02 +0000 UTC View PostA/N: Dread it. Run from it. The interlude still arrives. Sort of early, too.
Hey everyone! I mentioned an interlude in the past, and even though I said it wouldn't count against the three chapters of the week, I guess I lied. It sorta went longer than I expected (~3600 words), but it's our ...

1.42: The Goliath (Pt.3)
The clone dissolved into a cloud of ink, unable to defend itself against the sudden onslaught of both Henry and Maurice. With the Goliath’s support disposed of, the duo ...
2024-07-16 00:48:31 +0000 UTC View PostA/N: Surprise Monday chapters! And yes, that's chapters with s. I'm posting part 2 and 3 tonight. The (third) and last chapter of the week will be posted Wed or Thur, whenever it's ready (still being edited, it's a chonker compared to the usual chapters)
As always, thank you all for the sup...
2024-07-16 00:47:33 +0000 UTC View PostA/N: Thank yo all for supporting me! I was going to add an extra chapter as I didn't want to end this week on a cliffhanger, but part two ended up stretching into a part 3, so.... yeah. It'll go for Wednesday.
I got a long weekend ahead and I hope to get a lot of writing done. Enjoy the wee...
2024-07-12 13:04:28 +0000 UTC View Post1.39: The Den
“[What will happen when we find humans?]”
The island was close enough for Henry to make out trees and seals on the beach. It was gravely, with boulders here and there on which the largest seals lounged, taking in the sunligh...

1.38: Gift Exchange
“[Still nothing?]”
Maurice picked up the newly consumed shell with a massive ghostly claw many times his size, then moved it away. Henry let him have the momen...
2024-07-10 11:53:31 +0000 UTC View PostA/N: With all three chapters of this week released, there won't be chapters Thursday and Friday.
I hope you enjoy them. They were fun to write, but also sorta though to tweak.
Edit: Was missing the venom passive from the new Bite.

2024-07-03 11:41:06 +0000 UTC View PostA/N: I lied. Just needed to edit 1.37, and that didn't take long.
1.36: Consolidation
Henry read everything twice, then he focused on the two options he was most interested in. Arcane and Trickster. He was tempted by Mesmer, but it just wasn’t ...
2024-07-03 11:39:17 +0000 UTC View PostA/N: Thank you all for the support!
I think I'll drop 1.36 and 1.37 today as well (around noon) so you all don't have to wait too long for the resolution. There won't be chapters tomorrow or Friday though.
Enjoy!

2024-07-03 11:28:37 +0000 UTC View PostA/N: Thank you all, as always. And sorry for the cliffhangers. I've considered adding a chapter or two to the releases to alleviate that, but somehow the next few chapters are worse. The action's picking up, so bear with me. I believe it'll be worth it.
Enjoy the weekend!

“[Keep firing!]”
Henry drove a bony spike into the blood-red kraken’s brain while another cut into its eye. None of it was enough. The damn thing refused to die...
2024-06-27 11:49:04 +0000 UTC View PostA/N: Thank you all for the support!
I just realized I haven't thought out of a chapter title for this one until now. So it might change. (I don't like 'em much, but they're useful)
Enjoy!
1.32: On the move
When it came to permanently acquir...
I've been playing with the idea of doing a quick interlude from another place in the world. It may or may not have to do with the civilizations of this world and how they go about their days.
When I do it, it'll probably end up as an extra chapter (outside of the schedule) and I'll put...
2024-06-21 12:40:10 +0000 UTC View PostA/N: Big thanks to the new supporters!
After this chapter, I'm moving to the long term schedule of Wed-Thurs-Friday, with an occasional extra chapter in the weekends for patrons (not guaranteed).
Also, I made small edits for flow in 1.25 and 1.26. No big changes, just tweaks.

2024-06-21 11:51:44 +0000 UTC View PostA/N: Thank you all for the support! My editor's back, and 1.28 is edited. We should catch up soon. I'm gonna try to create a buffer these next couple of week to spare you my drunk-toddler writing. Bear with me for a bit longer.
Enjoy!

1.29: A lunch-break
A stream of imploding bubbles tore chunks off of the underside of the cephalopod. It flailed its limbs and raised the one gripping Maurice to bash him against the rocks.
As Henry approached, he couldn’t help but tense...

The seals took the hint around five minutes later.
They’d been relentless. Henry tried for a while to shove them and knock them away, but that seemed to only make them bolder. So he began using a bla...
