Update Vae Victis and Infinite Realm

Heya guys, just letting you know about the chapters delay. Sorry about that, I had a family emergency so I wasn't home for a few days. I'll consider this past week as my break week so there won't be another this month.

Chapters for both Vae Victis and Infinite Realm will come out in the next few days.

Vae Victis - Interlude - Moments and Tears of the Stormlands

End of the first Arc! Next chapter will be back on Earth stuff. Next chapter in a day or two.


Moments and Tears of the Stormlands


Oluwatobi Musa sat back on his haunches, looking over his family playing by the pond. He was fortunate, he knew, to have found such a place in the middle of nowhere. He'd brought his family here in search of a better life, and so far it had been kind to them. He thanked God every day for his blessings, and for ...

Vae Victis - Chapter 33

Just a quick update for those of you who don't read my other series. I usually take 1 week a month off for admin and break stuff. So just letting you know that this week is my break week. Chapters return next week!

The Connections That We Forge

Shadow guided me with his arm around my back and mine around his shoulders as I walked with him to a small rock. Wearing the Mask was... bliss, it was a taste of power on the same level as what I was tasting when I had ...

The Blood Dance

I gazed down at my own reflection in the shallow pond, seeing the faint light of emerald green swimming through my eyes. The crack in my pupil was still small, unchanged from the last time I had looked, but just the fact that it was there at all was incredible. I kept thinking that it was just my imagination, yet I could feel a shift inside me. Emerald green spilled into my eyes, marking me as an Adult Vampire. A full mem...

Adult

“Ugh,” I grimaced as I bit into the almost charred meat stuck on a stick. Luckily, I had gotten rid of most of the burnt part before biting down, but the meat was still tough. I tore it apart with my teeth and then pulled it apart in pieces and swallowed them quickly. “This is disgusting,” I muttered after swallowing.

Shadow laughed from his seat across from me. “Fascinating is what it is,” he said, then shook his head.

I looked in his di...

Quick Update, Infinite Realm, Vae Victis

Tldr: chapters coming soon! 6 IR chapters and 3 VV chapters in the next few days.


The longer update is that I’ve somehow, unintentionally, ended up doing a lot of planning and setting up work this week. I was going to leave that for my admin week which was supposed to be this next one, but I ended up just kinda falling into that work. Sorry about that! On the bright side, I’ve actually done a lot of work hammering out the remaining arcs in IR and figured ...

Invoker

As the blazing crimson cloud swelled around me, a voice echoed all around.

"SEIZE THE ONLY TRUE WAY. PANDEMONIUM, FREEDOM."

The cloud was reaching out to me, and each heavy, clinging strand seemed to yank at pieces of me buried deep inside. An intense surge of fear and anger pulsed through my veins as if I had been injected with a powerful drug. My heart began to soar and I was filled with an inebriating sense of euphoria. As if I ...

The Taste of Death

The first time I encountered death, it was when my grandfather died, my mother's father. I was very young; I didn't understand what had happened. And for the longest time, all that I remembered was the smell of death.

To me, it was the scent of polished wood, the casket they placed him in. The scent of freshly cut flowers, that made up the funeral wreaths which surrounded the casket. The scent of too many people in our small home, as they came...

Vae Victis - Chapter 28

The Ambush

“Are you afraid?” Shadow asked as the two of us walked through the jungle, his voice came as a whisper from behind me. I didn’t answer immediately, instead my hand reached for the wrist of my other, not finding what I was looking for. I caught myself, Saia was of course not there. She somewhere ahead of us, scouting for a good place to make an ambush. The fact that my hand moved almost unconsciously to try and touch her spoke volumes about how importa...

Through the Jungle

I spent the next day learning more about Shadow’s school of being. We didn’t have the time for him to do more than just teach me the basics. Still, there was a lot to learn. The most important part was perhaps the three principles behind the Heart of Azure and Scarlet. We were having a short break, which I used to review the lesson with my [A Lesson Remembered] skill, even though I didn’t yet understand everything, I wanted to...

Interlude - The Terror in the Stormlands

Knight Mage Herim of Fleetwoods walked behind his escorts, a pair of Royal Guardsmen, as they led him through the corridors of the Stormgarden Fortress. The vibrant moss on the gray stone walls shone with light, illuminating their path. The way the moss was grown and tended was exquisite, but Herim could not bring himself to admire it in the way that it deserved. His mind was on his task, and his failure. Two m...

Woe

“I call my school of being, the Heart of Azure and Scarlet,” Shadow started, using a stick to draw a circle with a crack in its side in the dirt. We had moved back to the fire and sat down next to it. He started by explaining what a school of being was. Which was exactly what it meant. A way of life, a teaching. What bushidō would be on Earth, or a life lived through strict religious practice. It encompassed everything.

Here are the chapters! Let me know how it feels. Honestly it was much better for me when I was writing them, I even ended up writing a lot more than I usually do, the three chapters together are around double the length of what I usually release. Let me know in the comments what you think about getting all three chapter together.

Next week is admin week!

“Something is missing here,” I heard Khalil say and raised my eyes to look at him.

“Missing where?” I asked.

“Everywhere,” Khalil grimaced. “According to my research, the vampires are… hiding something.”

I chuckled. “Oh really? What was your first clue? That they hid in the shadows for a few thousands of years?”

Khalil glanced in my direction and gave me a smile. “That was not...

Future

We returned back to our camp in silence. Shadow had offered the crystal back to me, which surprised me, I figured that he would want to keep it. Once back, we sat around the fire in silence. Saia jumped into my lap and I patted her absentmindedly. Her skin, or hull, or whatever it was, actually felt really nice. It was smooth, and felt like it would be soft. Somehow the motions of petting her made me feel a bit better. I couldn’t help but worry about what Sha...

Infinite Realm - Schedule Update

Heya, just letting you all know that this coming week I'm gonna be trying something different, so I'll drop all the chapter on the same day, probably at the end of the week. I've been having some issues with the flow of the story, and I think that basically having one big chapter instead of three smaller ones might help me fix that a bit. It isn't a permanent change yet, I'm just trying it out next week to see how it works for me. You are still getting the same amount of content for the week....

Mask of the Drainer — No Investment; 7th Carving

I startled and woke.

The light was hitting my face, and the scent of blood filled my nostrils. For a moment, I froze, my mind confused and then I remembered. I remembered my hunt, the injury, I remembered Shimi using a healing potion and then the thirst taking over. I closed my eyes and tried to remember what I did while the thirst was...

The Second Hunt

When I was a child, I used to play hide and seek with my friends. Other poor children from the village. I always won. I always had a knack for finding good hiding places, as well as spotting those who were trying to be sneaky. It was funny how this situation reminded me of my childhood. I hadn’t thought about it for such a long time. I was free of all burdens back then, just a child playing with my friends. Life had a way of robbing children of child...

Shelter

I woke, as always, with the setting of the sun. I did not dream, or if I had I did not remember it. If there was one thing that I missed about sleeping it was dreaming. The thing that came over me now was more of a state of unconsciousness, even with this sun, than it was actual sleep. My body just being unable to keep up under the daylight. I wondered if perhaps this sun just had a weaker effect on me and but still the same one. After all, some vampires could...

The First Hunt

“The fact that you are weaker during the day is an issue,” Shimi said. “At night, you stand a chance, but the animals lurking about at night are more dangerous. I would suggest hunting the animals as they sleep but most animals here are nocturnal. There are a few herds of okolon that I saw around, they are Third Investment, if you can isolate one you might be able to take it down, before you get trampled to death.”

We’re Fucked

I watched him all through the night, until the sun rose, then through the next day. I was worried there for a bit and had fed him the potion two more times. But as the sun set again I was convinced that his state wasn’t deteriorating. I sucked in a breath as a shiver of the setting sun ran through me. My strength returned, my world sharpened, all was well again. I pushed myself out and got up from my place across from Shimi, walking over and kneeling ...

A New Day

The night fell as we walked to the river. I paused and let the feeling pass over me, relishing in the return to my full strength. The pain around my neck flared, a reminder that the silver inflicted wound was yet to fully heal. My other wounds, though had recovered, in part because of the blood of the mature ferrorn as Shimi had called it, for which I was grateful.

“You well?” Shimi asked.

I nodded my head. “Yes,” I whispered. “Much bet...
