The tunnel on the far side of the chamber descended at a steep angle. Stefi led the way, her crystal casting dancing shadows across the rough stone walls. Behind her, Einar kept his axes ready, every sense heightened as they moved deeper into goblin territory.
The smell grew worse with each step. The rot and waste that Bartia had mentioned became overpowering, making several Vikings gag. Einar breathed through his mouth, trying to filter out the worst of it, but the taste was almost as ...

“The good news is you know she made it,” Jazzjak stated. “The flow of DP, even if small, is a sign that they succeeded.”
Max nodded. He could feel the muscles in his face relaxing as he stopped clenching his teeth. “I know… It’s just been… weird,” he replied. “I mean, it’s only been nine months. I can’t tell you how many times Tanila and I find ourselves standing in her room. Everything is there as she left it, and I think I finally understand how my parents must...

So - Perhaps you've noticed a slight uptick in my output. I'll get to that at the bottom of the post but here's some updates:
Ultimate Level 1 - Book 11 is cruising. (book 10 just finished recording - just needs edits... crazy). I'm again set for 7 days a week till Nov 30th atm on Book 11. Need to write/edit some more and upload but we're good for a while.
Loopbreaker Book 2 - Again, we're cruising, 7 days a week till Dec 2nd atm. I may go 5 days at that point, we...

Arin's remaining mass in the pine tree watched in horror as a chunk of his body plummeted toward the wolves.
The level six wolf lunged forward, jaws snapping shut on a large section of the falling slime. It shook its head violently, tearing the gelatinous mass apart and scattering red droplets across the forest floor.
[ -42 Mass ]
The pain was immediate and overwhelming. Arin felt himself being torn in two, his consciousness splitting between the section sti...

Miranna stood there, her fingers a few inches from the crystal that she had read about. Five watchers all sat there, unmoving, none speaking. Each of them seemed to be holding their breath as she was.
It was comical, seeing a demon, a dwarf, a dragonkin, a human, and a half-elf as a reflection of their party sitting on those chairs. Each one had the thread of power that flowed into their head and out the bottom of their chair.
“Touch it,” the female half-elf Archon...

"So let me understand this," Skardi said, leaning back against the stone wall of their quarters. "You got to meet the High King of the Dwarves, probably got to see things none of us will ever witness, and all you can tell us is that he's big and has a nice beard?"
Einar chuckled as he checked the edge on one of his axes. "What else would you have me say? That his throne is carved from a single piece of mountain? That the hall leading to it could fit half of Kopanes inside?"
"Yes!"...

Francis bit his lip, keeping from letting out a curse as the tall woman pulled back the curtain made of pelts that was the entrance and exit to the room he had appeared in. A freezing wind blew in, penetrating the metal armor and his thin layer of clothing, immediately causing his skin to break out in goosebumps.

Sabon moved forward, his shield held ready as the copy of Miranna–Shiny– came at them, its two red swords growing as it activated Ultimate Form, doubling its size to forty feet.
Elemental spells came from Shiny as it unleashed a barrage of ice storms upon the team.
Miranna didn’t hesitate, activating her own abilities and watching as Shale Spark endured the downpour of magic that struck her red scales.

The royal keep loomed before them like a monument forged by the gods themselves.
Einar had seen many impressive structures in his two lives, but nothing compared to the colossal anvil-shaped spire that rose from the heart of the mountain. Its surface was polished obsidian and steel, catching the light from thousands of runes that pulsed with a rhythm like a heartbeat. The structure seemed to grow from the stone itself, as if the mountain had given birth to it in ages past.

“You going to be okay?” Miranna asked as she scratched Shale Spark’s scales.
“Please, I’m just the greatest mount in the world at this point,” the dragon replied, getting laughter from the rest of the party on her back. “I mean, what’s not to like? Every kid and most of the adults out there are wishing they were you right now.”
“She’s right,” Kurrar stated. “I distinctly heard a few kids ask if they could ride the red elephant with the long tail.”

Arin woke to the sound of rain.
It was a gentle patter at first, barely noticeable against the leaves. But within minutes, it intensified into a steady downpour that turned the forest floor into a maze of puddles and streams.
Water everywhere. Again.
Arin pressed deeper into his hollow, watching the rain with a mixture of fascination and wariness. His increased mass meant he was more resilient to dilution than before, but the risk was still a real concern. One careless momen...

The adventurers moved through the forest with what had to be practiced efficiency.
Arin followed from above, staying at least thirty feet back and using the densest foliage for cover. His darkvision let him track their movements even as the afternoon light began to fade, and his gelatinous body made virtually no sound as he flowed from branch to branch.
The human fighter led the group, his armor dulled to prevent reflections that might give away their position. The elven ranger mo...

Arin struck the goblin before the shout could fully form.
His wedge shape caught the creature in the chest, the impact driving it backward into the shallow stream with a splash that sent water spraying in all directions. The wooden bucket tumbled from the goblin's hands, forgotten.
The goblin thrashed, trying to draw breath for the scream that would alert its companions. Arin flowed over its face, covering the mouth and nose, his acidic nature burning exposed skin.

The standoff lasted three hours.
Arin remained on his branch, watching the wolf watch him. The creature was patient in a way that suggested it had experience with waiting. It occasionally shifted position, stood to stretch, or sniffed the air, but the wolf never strayed more than a few feet from the base of the tree.
It knows I'll have to come down eventually. Or it's waiting for me to make a mistake.
The afternoon sun crept across the sky, casting longer shadows th...

Hunger.
Arin had felt it before. The slow drain of essence, and the growing sluggishness in his mass, but never like this. Three days of careful rationing, of passing up smaller prey to avoid unnecessary risk, had brought his essence dangerously low.
[ Current Essence: 12/100 ]
The notification pulsed at the edge of his awareness like a warning bell. Twelve percent. Less than half of what he'd maintained comfortably over the past week. If it dropped much low...

Night in the Greenwold was a different world entirely.
Arin discovered this within the first hour after sunset. The forest, which had been full of birds singing and rustling leaves during the day, transformed into something altogether more mysterious. New sounds came. The hoot of an owl somewhere in the distance, the chittering of insects, and the occasional snap of a twig that sent Arin's awareness spiking with alarm.
However, it was also cooler, which meant a lower risk of water...

The Greenwold lived up to its name.
Arin had never seen so much green in his entire existence. Every shade imaginable seemed to be represented. A deep emerald of moss-covered trunks, the bright lime of new spring leaves, the dark forest green of ancient pines, and the yellow-green of ferns that carpeted the forest floor.
Is this what Levi saw when he looked at the world? So many colors?
The transition from the muddy riverbank to the forest edge had taken longer than...

The sewers of Vyrdan were older than the Academy itself.
Arin didn't know this consciously, but as he navigated the ancient tunnels, he could sense the age in the worn stone, the layers of sediment that had accumulated over centuries. The bioluminescent moss grew thicker in some sections, casting an eerie green glow that made the shadows dance.
Follow the water.

Levi’s head felt light, and his eyes were heavy.
I won… I actually won!
Most of tonight was a blur. Levi remembered Professor Thomas looking surprised as the older man handed him a small trophy and had presented him before those gathered in the hall.
The amount of clamoring that had taken place by all those present as representatives of potential jobs had overwhelmed him. He had a dozen offers to consider, and each of them offered more money th...

Levi couldn’t help but find himself giddy, having watched the last fight take place in the semi-final. His opponent for the semi-finals had been an easy matchup, the amoeba that had been eating up the other competition found out that Arin wasn’t an easy meal like the others. In the end, his slime had beaten out Selene’s creation, and she had simply congratulated Levi on the win before scampering off to the stands.
“You’re always a surprise, Mr. Wilson,” Professor...

She wants me to come to her. That's the trap.
Einar extinguished the flames on his hammers, plunging himself back into darkness. He knew this opponent was going to be different from many of the others he had faced. The sudden shift from light to shadow would blind him temporarily, but it would also force Akrini to recalculate.
If I can't see her, she shouldn’t be able to see me…<...

Today I wrote the chapter I've been waiting for a long time for Loopbreaker. Now you just need to wait for chapter 22 ;)
The good news is chapter 1 stars on monday.
Don't worry Viking fans. I'm working on your chapter this weekend!
The only bad thing about writing is I have to upload the chapters hoping I don't mess up or patreon doesn't screw something up ;)
Enjoy the weekend!

A slew of notifications were waiting for him to look at but instead, Bob’s voice called out first.
