Hi!
I gained a little steam this week writing and I’m still hopeful that I can finish the book before my narrator deadline. Thanks to your support I took some extra time off from my day job next week so I can focus on writing. It’s make ...

Shocked silence followed Uruziel’s statement.
Uruziel frowned. “Well maybe not alive, alive. But we’re definitely experiencing the outside world directly now. Your turn, Sivart.”

With the destruction of the artifact Clouds Embracing the Sun, the oath no longer held. Ruin had expected this grove to disappear, but here it remained. Why? He had a guess, and if he wanted to expand his mind safely, he needed to...

The shadowy tendons holding the darkness together weakened under Ruin’s onslaught, and the area around him turned from patches of complete darkness into areas of twilight. Uruziel adjusted her feed, returning primary sight to hi...

If the dungeon had pulled out all the stops, Ruin decided to do the same.
He increased his Core Velocity to three thousand, and his torso burned on the inside from the surge in energy.
You have around ten seconds t...

The Destruction Realm valued decisiveness, strength, and destruction, which all suited Ruin’s Saraph body. He felt a primal response to the environment and, if he wanted to understand the essence of Destruction, he needed to exp...

I have three chapters written but they need a little cleanup before posting. I’m not feeling well so I can’t do that tonight. I’ll post them tomorrow. Sorry for the delay.
Talk to you tomorrow.
Take care,

Ruin now had an abundance of energy around his core, and he didn’t hesitate to use it.
Three thousand arm-sized icicles appeared a thousand feet above and they fell as one.

Ruin prepared to trigger his other options if he’d underestimated his ability to weather this attack with his armor and body.

Silver motes swirled above the bodies and Ruin focused on the mass near his feet. The mental acknowledgement was enough, and a loot summary appeared as the silver mist disappeared along with the bodies.

Ruin had gained the skill he needed to use the Frost Bow with confidence, so he stepped cautiously into the forest of stalagmites, and strained his Awareness to detect any danger. Now that he stood among the twisted pillars, he no...

Ruin acknowledged each notification. He’d certainly confused the System that ran this dungeon. He wondered if only one Notification would normally activate. If so, hopefully it would pick one of the first ones that welcomed him ...

This time when Ruin entered the portal to the fifth floor, the Dark Tower left him alone. He exited onto a platform twenty feet across and followed Zylkin who strode quickly away.

No one spoke while Ruin read the prophecy two additional times.

Are you nuts? Ruin asked.
Hi!
Tonight’s chapters were a lot of fun to write as Ruin got to flex a little. I hope the action translated well to the writing as this one really consumed my thoughts a lot. Why can’t I just plop my imagination onto the page?
