AN:
A surprise extra post on Sunday! This is the first chapter of a possible second project that I think I'm going to work on slowly alongside Sins. This story is meant to be far, far more lighthearted and irreverent than Sins is. Just...
2023-09-11 00:06:15 +0000 UTC View Post“He’s a cute one, all right,” Azarus said to me later that day. We were sitting together in the back of Gren’s wagon as it rattled along down the road.
Venix had been right about the fact the caravan was all set and ready to go. By t...
2023-09-08 17:00:04 +0000 UTC View PostThe monument was huge, taller than I was. Mostly rectangular with a flared and then tiered design at the top, it was resting on a set of circular stairs. It was set directly in the center of the forest clearing that I had found, bathed in the stil...

Updated 9/15.

It must take a long time to regrow entire limbs, because it had been hours and nobody had come out of the ‘Ironclad’ yet. Most of the people that Syl...
2023-09-04 17:00:04 +0000 UTC View Post“Our preparations seem a little silly, at this point,” Silvia said to me later. After the reunion in front of her war wagon, Silvia, Grey, Azarus and I had retreated to our personal section of the camp near Gren’s lead wagon. There, we pulle...
2023-09-01 17:00:12 +0000 UTC View PostI crouched on a tree branch, far above my target. I’d been stalking this particular one for nearly thirty minutes by now. The tracks that they’d made were obvious enough to even my neophyte tracker’s eyes. I’d only acquired the General Tal...
2023-08-30 17:00:04 +0000 UTC View Post“What a mess,” ‘Vincenzo Stonebreaker’ said to himself, clucking his tongue and shaking his head. Following his interaction with the slave that had killed the boy, he’d checked on a few things before retreating to the highest place in to...

As you can probably guess, this is the last main chapter of Vol. 2. As a side note, this is actually the longest chapter I've written. All that's left for this book is a a short interlude that acts as an epilogue, coming on Monday.
With a trembling hand, I reached up to touch my collar. I found that it was only loosely hanging onto my neck. Gripping it, I slowly took the collar off of my neck to cradle it in my palms. Gazing down at it, I found I had to suppress involuntary ...
2023-08-23 17:00:09 +0000 UTC View PostI nearly fell into a panic attack at the unexpected setback, before I remembered what else I’d brought with me. Shit, it was a long shot, but it was at least an idea.
“Bleddyn, quick,” I whispered to him urgently. “How strong are you...

Made some minor plot changes to chapters 33, 34, and 45. Main thing is that Nate knew the name of his eighth profession sooner, instead of knowing nothing until it was unlocked.
It was still locked until he reached level 10 in the ...

Nice.

Gradually, the moonlight that was streaming into the room began to weaken. At the same time, the silver glow that had surrounded Grey died out as well, letting the...
2023-08-16 17:00:05 +0000 UTC View PostFor a moment I didn’t dare to breathe.
It had worked?
It had really, truly worked?
Trembling, I concentrated on the now no-longer enchantment blank. Slowly, I let my Aetherial Senses poke and prod the device in my hands. During...
2023-08-14 17:00:06 +0000 UTC View PostIt didn’t take me long to reach the side path that led to Azarus’s house. I didn’t even get stopped once on the way, even though I was far from the only person on the path. There were dwarves all around me, streaming back into town from the ...
2023-08-11 17:00:08 +0000 UTC View PostI wasn’t sure how long exactly I worked to save Walter’s life, but it couldn’t have been long. The precision of my Aetherial sense and the ability to directly manipulate the flesh below me meant that the process was surprisingly quick, if no...
2023-08-09 17:00:06 +0000 UTC View PostMost of us were shuffled off back into the tent after that. Two of the other slaves I didn’t know were held behind by the guards, though. The last thing I saw before the tent closed behind me were knives being given to the disturbingly eager sla...
2023-08-07 17:00:06 +0000 UTC View PostJust letting you guys know I'm going to be changing my penname. Got a little tired of people assuming Sins was a Self Insert just because both my MC and I have the word "Hart" in it.
New name is going to be PreCursive. Didn't want you guys t...
2023-08-07 02:17:52 +0000 UTC View Post“Mr. Hart? M-Mr. Hart, can you hear me?”
Slowly, I started to drift back to consciousness, aware that someone was calling my name. They were lightly shaking my shoulders as well. For a moment, I didn’t know what was going on. I hadn’...

Hey there,
I'm honestly surprised to see so many of you so quickly. All I can say is thank you for being interested enough in my work to pay for it. It's an honor.
As you've likely already guessed if you read the About page, ...

2023-07-31 01:28:16 +0000 UTC View PostI staggered down the third-floor stairs of the manor, my left arm clutched over my right. I may not have been bleeding anymore, but the burn from the cauterization Magnus gave me was still painful. I was delirious from the blood loss, and could ba...
2023-07-30 22:19:33 +0000 UTC View PostWell, here I was. Standing in front of a door again, waiting for a noble to finish eating so I could collect his plates like he was a child. Not only that, but it was a noble that apparently wanted to see me viciously mauled to death. Great. I did...
2023-07-30 22:18:36 +0000 UTC View PostI didn’t quite have my ear pressed up to the door, but that wasn’t far off. Through the door, I was able to make Magnus and Orinbar’s conversation.
“-question why you even care, old man.” I heard Magnus say, derision dripp...
2023-07-30 22:16:03 +0000 UTC View PostIt was early enough in the morning that the green period hadn’t ended up. Once again, I left Azarus’s house not from the entrance onto the side road, but through the forest with Thorn Cloak active. Even though I was heading to...
2023-07-30 22:14:04 +0000 UTC View PostAfter my little explanation and subsequent embarrassment when seeing Silvia without her mask, we picked up on the training again. Nothing heavy or physically strenuous again, she just showed me how to use the FAT. It was kind of fun, actually. It ...
2023-07-30 22:12:47 +0000 UTC View PostWith a grunt, I finished climbing the outer wall of Addersfield. Swiftly, I scaled the log at the top and dropped down to the forest floor beneath me.
After our morning talk, Grey and I had waited for Azarus to wake up before discussing our ...
2023-07-30 22:11:10 +0000 UTC View PostI didn’t go to sleep immediately after retreating to my room.
All the talk of families had brought all kinds of memories rushing back to me. How it had felt to lose Mom, all those years ago. The struggle to care for Dad right afterward, an...
2023-07-30 22:06:41 +0000 UTC View PostIt hadn’t taken long for Silvia and I to lead the Stag through the forest at a leisurely pace, once she’d trapped it in illusions. That had turned out to be her plan, which was obvious in hindsight. Of course an illusion ninja would solve a pr...
2023-07-30 22:04:43 +0000 UTC View Post“Fuck.” I said to myself, standing in the middle of a narrow forest clearing.
Turns out our suspicion had been right. Even though it hadn’t yet been a month since his last ‘hunt’, Magnus was doing another one. I guess that maliciou...
2023-07-30 22:03:27 +0000 UTC View PostI yawned, resting my chin in my palm.
I was sitting at the front desk of Van’s butcher shop, right next to the woman I had met all those weeks ago. Rachel, her name was. It was still early in the morning, and when I had gotten there, Van h...
