Death After Death Ch. 159-160

Ch. 159 - Save Point

Elthena was never far from his mind on the voyage north, but by the time they’d made landfall, he’d made peace with it. This life was important, but this body was old and starting to get a little worn out, so he was going to lock in the events here ...

Brewing Bad Ch. 83

As of this week, Brewing Bad is going to twice a week on RR/SH, so as soon as that works its way through Patreon's bonus chapter backlog, it will go twice a week here as well. Should be before the end of the month.

Ch. 83 - The Waiting Game

That straine...

Death After Death Ch. 157-158

Ch. 157 - A Short War

The war that followed was both brutal and short, at least if the reports were to be believed. Simon attended court every day during that period, listening to the infrequent updates from messengers that relayed the status of the war, one engagement and ...

Brewing Bad Ch. 82

Ch. 82 - Elemental Nature

Lucas spent the rest of the day wandering the expansive building. No one stopped him if he tried to do that. If he went down the hallways to the other buildings, though, the guards asked his business and politely turned him away. It was a st...

Death After Death Ch. 155-156

Ch. 155 - Turning of the Years

Simon spent most of the next few weeks and months in the library. He started going on longer and longer walks, and eventually, he went to the gym. That was mostly for the restorative hot springs, though he did eventually try to spar with men h...

Brewing Bad Ch. 81

Ch. 81 - All Nighter

Lucas tried hard not to laugh as the three-foot gnome in front of him struck a pose and delivered his last statement like it was supposed to be intimidating. In the end, he was unable to keep the smirk entirely off his face. So, instead, ...

Death After Death Ch. 153-154

Ch. 153 - A Nice View

Simon’s recovery was slow, only compared to everything else he’d been through. He was used to healing or dying almost immediately, and there had been only a few instances where he’d been forced to actually let his body mend, the most notable of w...

Brewing Bad Ch. 80

Ch. 80 - Meet the New Boss

Lucas left the manor, clean, well-dressed, and as prepared as he could be less than an hour after he arrived. Just like that, everything he’d spent so long was getting smaller and smaller behind him in the review mirror as he set out into...

Death After Death Ch. 151-152

Ch. 151 -  Back in Bed

Simon woke, groggily. When he felt the blankets beneath him, he assumed that he was back in bed. That was expected, though, and he accepted it as the price of accomplishing the impossible. He only hoped that it was enough to finally solve the dam...

Brewing Bad Ch. 78-79

Bonus chapter! (Because this one is a 2 parter)

Ch. 78 - Starting Over

Lucas reached for his cup of tea. Despite the fact that it was still scalding, he took a sip to give him a moment to think. The idea that it might be poisoned meant nothing compared to everythi...

Death After Death Ch. 149-150

Ch. 149 - Impossible

Simon charged through the knots of people on the road where he couldn’t run around them, outrunning the insults and the outrage even before he could really hear them. None of that mattered. There was no time for politeness. While part of him hoped thi...

A Few Updates

Hello everyone. I just wanted to make a few updates. The first one is that while scheduling posts I inadvertently sent out a post for Death After Death that's not scheduled for weeks from now. I would not recommend reading, because it is full of spoilers for the current content.&...

Brewing Bad Ch. 77

Ch. 77 - Where it all Started

Though he was conscious when he fell, that became less certain over time as he was disarmed and trussed up like a Thanksgiving Turkey. Whether it was because whatever drug they’d put in the oil was continuing to take its toll the longe...

Death After Death Ch. 147-148

Ch. 147 - Picture Perfect

It took another three weeks of walking, two run-ins with beast men, and an encounter with bandits that ended very poorly for them before Simon finally set eyes on pre-eruption Ionar. It turned out that his experience points didn’t go down on any ...

Brewing Bad Ch. 76

Ch. 76 - Some Like it Hot (part 3)

Lucas immediately feared a double cross, but instead, it was just a handful of off-duty women that had come from one of the lower floors. They looked tired but bore no weapons; the most dangerous thing about them seemed to be the ou...

Death After Death Ch. 145-146

Ch. 145 - South

The trip back to Schwarzenbruck was not much more challenging than the trip to the barrows had been. It was a few days longer because Simon chose to stay off the main road as much as possible. Both the rugged terrain and the extra days on the trail meant tha...

Brewing Bad Ch. 74-75

So first, as promised, a bonus chapter. I hope you enjoy it. Second, the chapters I've been writing for this story the last couple weeks... Well, they are awesome. No spoilers of course, but certainly well above average. I love all my stories equally of course, but lately Brewing Bad is the most ...

Death After Death Ch. 143-144

Ch. 143 - A Miracle

Simon wasn’t sure how this would work exactly, but there was no time left to deliberate. Any minute now, Freya’s heart was going to stop, her body was going to spasm as her organs shut down, and she’d be replaced by an abomination that could only e...

Brewing Bad Ch. 73

Alchemy this week, bonus chapter next week. Some fun stuff coming up!

Ch. 73 - Finally Alone

No one walked away from that little conference happy. Lord Torvin was not used to his plans being objected to, but he did agree that Lucas had a point and that he woul...

Death After Death Ch. 141-142

Ch. 141 - A Bit of Preparation

The situation was much as Simon had left it and largely unchanged from his last few visits. There was trouble in the north. No one quite knew what it was or why it had stopped trade to the north, yet mercenaries had been hired and dispatched. ...

Brewing Bad Ch. 72

Ch. 72 - Making Plans

Lucas was no judge of these things, but if he had to say so, he would have called the whole winter feast an unmitigated success. The guests were merry, the house was full, and by the end of it, the food had largely vanished. It was only ...

Death After Death Ch. 139-140

Ch. 139 - A Long Way from Anywhere

Simon didn’t have paper to document his journey. Instead, he used a stick to document his time. As near as he could tell, he was going to the south-west. Every day that he made good progress got a big notch, and every day that he made ...

Brewing Bad Ch. 70-71

Another bonus chapter for my fine readers. I think that brings us to 15 ahead of the general public. I can't wait until 2 a week is an every week sort of thing, but those days are coming.

Ch. 70 - A Long Cold Winter

The hectic pace only held up as long as the ...

Death After Death Ch. 137-138

Ch. 137 - Duties and Demands

When all was said and done, almost a season later, just as the heat of summer was starting to set in, they finally arrived in Crowvar once more. As an errand for the domain, it probably had not been worth that much time. However, Simon had learn...

Brewing Bad Ch. 69

Ch. 69 - Harvest Season

Lucas wiped the sweat that had gathered on his brow in defiance of the chill. “Is that the last one?” he called up to where Hura’gh was manning the pulley above him. 

“Nah,” he called down. “Still a couple more to go.”

...

Tenebroum PLUS Ch. 168-169

Ch. 168 - Nothing Ever Happens

Leo regarded the cake as he would an enemy while everyone else sang him happy birthday, but he tried not to let it show on his face. After all, despite their differences, the other children had gone to such efforts to make this, and even thoug...

Death After Death Ch. 135-136

Ch. 135 - Slow Progress

Simon deliberated on it for a day before he decided on public executions. Courtiers and Varten’s widow spent that day arguing that he should torture one or more of them to get to the truth so fervently that he was fairly sure that they were in on i...

Brewing Bad Ch. 67-68 (End Book 1)

This completes the end of Book 1. Its a little longer than I anticipated, but I welcome feedback for anywhere in the middle you think I could tighten up and anywhere in the ending you think I could make punchier. Obviously this is not the end of Lucas's story, and the so new excitement is coming ...

Tenebroum PLUS Ch. 166-167

Ch. 166 - The Long Way Down

It took some time for Oroza to figure out that she was dead. Not just dead, but in the afterlife, at least in a sense. It should have been obvious from the beginning, of course, as she stepped free from the shredded remains of dull scales and ema...

Death After Death Ch. 133-134

Ch. 133 - For the Right Reasons

It was evident from the first moments that Varten didn’t stand a chance against Simon. In the time since they’d last met, he’d grown older and lazier; his steps were not as sure, and his sword strokes were not as decisive as they’d on...
