Undersea Reincarnation - 3.08: Up for it?

Ash was having some trouble keeping up with everything happening around her, though no one could tell from looking at her. There was one skill she had picked up while surviving ever since she had been chased out of her home: it was to go with the flow. Just watch. Stay quiet and nod.

Undersea Reincarnation - 3.07: Noticed

After taking back control of the pathfinding skill from his Octominds and pulling all the free assistants to help out, Henry started with a simple cast of the skill with a simple request as he touched both shells: To point him toward one living turtle from this species.

The magic activated,...

Undersea Reincarnation - 3.06: Attempt

Gingerly, Maurice reached into the glass jar with a piece of crunchy, slightly toasted bread and scooped a nice, glistening dollop of delightfully smooth spread. He put down the jar, then shoved the piece in his mouth while Henry picked up the jar to smell it.

Scorching Ascension - 2.00: Prologue

Break’s Over! Updates & New Schedule Inside

Hey everyone! How have you all been?

I hope you got some good reading done. On my end, I did plenty of that. Finally read Skillgrinder in a Timeloop which made me dig up an old draft of a timeloop story that I might start on when I have some downtime... I've read Path To Transcendence and L...

Scorching Ascension - 1.92: Another Portal (Unedited)

A/N: A bit rushed. I think I'll revisit this one once I've recovered a bit and flesh it out a bit more. There's also still an epilogue I want to do, but I'm so out of juice. I'll prolly post somewhere within the break, or maybe I'll tweak it once I finish up the dev edits.

See you soon ever...

Scorching Ascension - 1.91: Cracks (Unedited)

Standing in front of the purple-blue tear in reality, Ethan closed his eyes and put a mental finger on the connection he felt to the space around him, and as he reached out for it, he frowned. It was… almost as if he didn't have a good grip on it. There was a link, sure, but it took a fe...

Delay for both stories

Hey all,

both chapters are a bit intense (or maybe I'm just running on fumes), so I need a bit more time. You're still getting the 3 chapters each this week (and maybe a bonus), but I still need a bit more time.

Still working on them as we speak, and if I managed to finish one today,...

Tevarius looked down at his damaged spear, lips pursed, then threw it to the side. The wood clattered against the packed soil, but before the discarded weapon could come to a stop, a new spear appeared in the man’s hand and instantly, Henry found his eyes drawn to it.
