“Where else would he be?” Rose replied.

2022-08-24 00:40:42 +0000 UTC View PostThe two men that Ryan had identified as Kingsguard were still in the room where I’d left them. They must’ve been rather confused, having the dungeon close the doors on them, since even though that wasn’t entirely unprecedented, it certainly ...
2022-08-24 00:40:05 +0000 UTC View PostMaking this one had taken me some time. At first, I had only had the use of [Spawn Monster] and its resulting [Spawn Snake] to create mobs with. Theoretically, I could’ve just made a final room without a bossfight, choosing instead to just dump ...

When I’d been making this room, I had had the idea of people parkouring up the poles and platforms in mind. How couldn’t I? Even if my last party hadn’t had anyone like that,...

So... I'm moving out this week. This Friday, to be exact. I'm going to college! It's super exciting for me, but it's also kind of scary. I've never spent more than a month or so away from home, and I'm shifting my entire...

The sun was still low in the sky when the sounds of distant detonations shook me out of sleep, though I could forgive it for that when I woke into Jasmine’s arms.

2022-08-05 19:44:24 +0000 UTC View Post“Where do we stand?”
That was a good question. Physically, we stood somewhere in the streets of Dakheng, the blood and dust covering us the only signs that a brutal conflict had just occurred beneath our feet. I had been able to displace...
