Cecily screamed in outrage as she flogged one of the petty thieves harder and harder, shredding skin from bone until the white fat and cartilage was dangling off of his form. His wails had turned into blubbering. “Will you shut up!” she screamed as she grabbed one of the knives and held it in front of his eyes. “Whimper more, and I’m cutting another finger off.”

The man’s mouth bit down harder on the bridle as she tossed the f...

Ch. 67 – Astragos VIII

The creature’s mass blocked the whole tunnel. There was no way Felix could get around it. It began to open its maw, and a bunch of fish parts started to spill out. The various Sharktopi – the small ones, probably youths to Felix’s imagination, swam over and ate the delivered meal. Felix had to carefully push himself down towards the floor as he was almost bowled into by one of them that darted from behind him.

Lyn went outside and took a force of the servant-caste Duskari towards the Western mountains. The journey took a little over three hours, and the sun was high overhead by the time they arrived at the cliff face. Right. Iron and Coal. She placed her palms on the mountainside and exhaled before taking a deep breath.

Thank you so much for reading. I hope you decide to add the novel to you...

Ch. 66 – Astragos VII

Felix eventually ran out of breath and inhaled – surprised as the water entering his mouth and lungs didn’t hurt or even feel odd. It was almost relaxing. I should have asked if we can talk normally down here.

Reth turned back to the two, “We can talk down here as well.” His voice was slightly distorted, but other than that – Felix could hear him just fine. “That weapon won’t be very useful down here,” He stated as he pointed to Tinuriel’s sword.

She sho...

The tower was warm. Thomas knew something was off. Summer has gone on way too long, he thought. Hector had been able to find a sheep or goat almost every day, which was another indicator that something was wrong. I’m trapped in some spell.

It had happened once before. When they had gone their separate ways after defeating the Demonic Dragon…or rather, claiming the credit for doing so, Cecily had invited Thomas to her new kingdom want...

“I’ll help you,” Reth stated. “But on one condition.”

“What’s that?” Felix asked.

“You don’t tell anyone that I am involved. I want plausible deniability.”

“Easy enough,” Felix replied. “You have a deal.” He looked at Tinuriel, “I think the best thing to do is to swear our allegiance to this emperor – for now – and then request permission to go and take out the head of the other empire.” He glanced back at Reth, “Is that something that...

Ch. 64 – Astragos V

Felix had never been to a place that was mid-war preparations. The environment was authoritarian – armed soldiers patrolled the streets in sizable squads, very few vendors were on the streets, and many stores and shops were shuttered. Reth explained that the standing army had been fully mobilized, and all non-essential citizens were being evacuated to surrounding cities further from where the fighting would be. There was a tension in the atmosphere, as if a board was being bent to the point...

Kory felt groggy. He groaned and tried to sit up, only for several sets of hands to push him down onto a soft bed. Blinking his eyes open, he could see the stark, white ceiling. Sterile. It reminded him of the hospital he was in for a few days when he broke his collarbone jumping a pile for the touchdown.

“You’re awake,” a soft voice said. Tilting his head, he saw Trisha – plumper and with a larger rack than the last time he’d seen her – but i...

Ben got out of the house, stretching as he looked out over the fields. Trisha had been dealing with the baby, and he had been doing all of the usual stuff – cooking, cleaning…everything. Thankfully, some of Trisha’s students volunteered to help around the house in addition to their usual duties, so he finally got a breather.

But as a dad, there was never really a breather. He chuckled as Eli ran over. “Dad! There’s a big, scary man riding here!�...

Thomas was in his tower, studying. The Ruins of Elent were the ancient capital of the Elenthian people – the first race to exist on Ghomar, the inventors of Elenthir, and creators of magic. He was studying their creator deity, Aelor, who had split itself into twenty shards to empower leaders of the race.

But the statue…it’s not just some fancy object, Thomas had eventually learned. It was the fossilized corpse of that deity. He reasone...

Ch. 63 – Astragos IV

Reth’s small rod sparked with crimson blaze as he lowered it. All the soldiers on the road turned at the immense noise and shockwave. Reth bowed, “It is a lovely day for an avalanche.” None spoke in response, and he laughed. “You don’t know the pass code? Shame.” He leveled the rod as more sparks gathered in the tip.

The group of soldiers ran forward – armored in breastplates and chainmail and wielding long glaives. They ran down the road…and right into Tinuriel, who had...

Lyn tapped the icon on the altar of the dungeon when they were fully equipped, and a grey portal opened in front of them. She led the way, waving her allies to follow her.

They appeared on the same grassy slopes outside of the dungeon. Looking back, Lyn couldn’t see any trace of the ruins that had let her go into the dungeon. Dungeon core claimed. She grinned. No one else could get that dungeon core until she died. Sure, there could be oth...

Ch. 62 – Astragos III

Why are they this hostile? I just used my title-

I queried the System. The last Archon – the closest word that translates from Versewalker – is the title of a powerful mage-warrior. The last Archon in the System’s record is the guy who murdered Emperor Quarilon’s son instead of the emperor himself.

Shit. Felix shook his head, “Look, I’m not that guy. I’m a new Versewalker. I just got here!” He leaned back as the...

Kory charged the group of soldiers from the Khrelardian military, making sure to yell a war-cry in Shereldian, to make the one survivor he planned to leave maimed but alive think that Valagonia’s soldiers were attacking. Sliding his palm up the artifact hammer, he poured mana into it and electricity crackled. Spinning in a circle, he launched it at the formation of fifty men. The man who was hit was obliterated into a bloody, pulpy mess....

Ch. 61 – Astragos II

Ghostwalk.

Felix walked alongside Tinuriel, but thanks to the Class Skill that he could maintain indefinitely whilst outside of those Mega-Dungeons, he would always be noticed after she was. Her harp playing was slowly improving. Agonizingly so. By nightfall she had figured out how to strum a few simple chords as Lucifer provided instructions.

They arrived at a walled town. The walls were o...

Lyn touched one claw-hand with the other. She could tell they were wickedly sharp. This will complicate things in the bedroom, she thought. But…let’s try something. She focused her mana within her body. “Adhano nin ennas / nan hen / en-Duskari.” Once more, she tried an external shifting spell. The heat in her chest flooded through her whole body, and she saw the scales and talons shift away, her regular Duskari form taking its pla...

Ch. 60 – Astragos I

Roy grinned, “With whom?”

Felix looked at Tinuriel, “There’s that Vugog place on the Tier under Avelion, right?” She nodded, “And it’s full of violent cannibal tribes?” Another nod. “Then any who are interested in becoming by next Versewalker Escort and filling an Animancer role are going to be put through the ringer.” He looked at Roy and Gina, “Any who wants to volunteer will need to experience real combat firsthand. Roy, I know you’ll keep them from dying with...

Gael slowly raised his spear to a ready position. “What did you say? You ventured with the Berserker hero?”

Fuck. Lyn knew she had fucked up royally. She had let slip a clue about who she really was. And Gael had picked up on it instantly. Is there any way out of this? Do I even want to keep the façade going? She could just tell them the truth. These two. Only these two. She was never a ...

Ch. 59 – Void Between ‘Verses

“Finally!” Felix let out a relieved sigh as he sank into the hot tub with a large, frothing mug of cold beer. Tinuriel hopped in next to him, a pony-keg perched on her shoulder as she settled into the warm liquid next to him.

“Time to enjoy life a bit,” she said as she held the spicket up to her mouth and guzzled several gulps of what smelled like moonshine and made Felix’s nose wrinkle. Near immediately, her cheeks reddened, and she giggled, putting an arm around his neck. 2024-06-10 14:00:05 +0000 UTC View Post

Thomas felt dizzy. He was being dragged by the arms down a set of stairs. He willed mana into the inscription he had tattooed on the inside of his wrist, and the healing spell was activated, clearing his fuzzy sight and bringing clarity to his situation. He was held by two guards in Khrelardian armor – royal armor. I’m still in the palace. The encounter with Jason replayed instantly in his mind. He attacked me?

He had neve...

The shimmering purple portal had a jelly-like quality, with some resistance that was easily pushed through. It also smelled like fresh mint – some decision by the dungeon’s maker, Lyn reasoned, as she had encountered other dungeon entrances with unique scents. Exiting the other side, she found herself in a large, stone chamber. It was made of white, worked stone. At the center was a pedestal, and glowing lights softly hummed above. Seeing it instantly...

Volio was seen off the next morning by Lyn and a squadron of her skirmishers. He was to be escorted to the mountain gap to the South, exiting the Valley of the Volcano. He had letters for each of the heroes, sealed with an intricate inscription that only the recipient could open – otherwise, they would burst into flame. Inside each letter was one of the symbols Lyn had the smiths and inscribers work on through the night. Lyn gave him a broad smile and w...

Trisha finished clearing the table with Ben before kissing him on the cheek. He took the children out to play a bit more – to really tire them out – so they could have some alone time that evening.

As she stood at the sink, finishing her chores, looking out the window at the rolling hills and setting sun, she couldn’t help but feel a mix of emotions. First was a thankfulness for the life she had. Back home, she would have been swamped with stu...
