AUTHOR'S NOTE: I have made significant edits to chapters 1 and 2, converting them into first-person narratives, along with a few minor tweaks to the story. You should be able to follow along with chapter 3 without needing to return to those prior two chapters if you do not desire to do so. Thank you for r...

I was practically bouncing in place with excitement. Scratch that—I was indeed bouncing, completely engulfed in a whirl of anticipation. Several beastkin aboard the airship cast funny looks my way, but for some inexplicable reason, they continued to revere me. Jason's spiked-tooth glares? They meant nothing to me. If it cam...

Well, howdy all,
Exciting news: Chapter one of Blake is on the brink of release—well, it’s set to come out later today, just as soon as I finish a final reread. And with that announcement, I'm also letting you know that the next chapter for 'Birthright' will drop this weekend. Yeah, I know—I'm not the b...

I squeezed the trigger again, my gun discharging the last of my bullets with a resounding blast. A bullet whizzed through the air, striking the green creature squarely between its furrowed eyes. Its head snapped back from the force of the impact. A tense pause ensued; even Derek froze, his eyes wide with dread, a...

Aurelia stood on the balcony, her hair caught in a wild dance as the wind whipped around her, swirling snowflakes into a frenzied ballet. Yet, she remained motionless, her gaze fixed on the distant horizon toward the Beastveil Kingdom. Her vampiric heart throbbed with anticipation, aching for her beloved. For nearly two centu...

The world trembled, and with a sharp gasp of pain, a solitary succubus stirred to life upon the ash-covered floor. Niamh lay there, with dust cascading from the ceiling above as the ground quivered and shuddered beneath her. A dull ache pulsed within her, not a physical wound but a deeper torment—a recurring ache of the hea...

Well, well, well, hello there,

In the courtyard of the vampire's stronghold, Heather was engrossed in a deep, devout prayer. Nearby, a vigilant presence lingered at the periphery—a succubus, ever watchful and protective of the dark elf. Their passion for one another was profound, yet both harbored fears about what their relationship might face upon Lord ...

Hi,
Newest Update to the Update:
This week has been tough, and I'm sorry to say it's been a bit of a bust. I'll be able to release the newest chapter later today (well, today for me; for my friends across the pond, it might not count as today). That head cold turned into an infect...

Hello My Sinister Readers,
I find myself still trapped in my shitty hometown, and I must confess, progress on my writing has been slower than I anticipated—my sincerest apologies for that! I'm currently laboring away on the next chapter, but it's frustratingly stuck at around 2,000 words, a far cry from whe...

Jason observed the ongoing fight with a hint of confusion, often glancing down at his hand as he opened and closed it, sensing that something was different. It wasn't a bad sensation; in fact, he felt amazing. Although he couldn't see the mana around him, he had a sense of it, like the static electricity that precedes a shock...

Nikola stood amidst seven fallen corpses, each a Slaethian soldier. Thankfully, none were familiar from her time as a gnome, but the sight still pained her. Once a human from Earth, reincarnated into this reality, her loyalty now lay with those like herself, like Blake, another Earthling summoned to this world. Their circumst...

"We've made it," Vorigan declared with a flourish. "Welcome to the Kingdom of the Beastveil," he announced, spreading his arms wide to encompass the sprawling vista before them.
“Holy fucking shit! Are you seeing this utter bullshit?” Jason blurted out, his eyes wide with disbelief. “That’s fucking insane!” 2023-12-31 22:14:59 +0000 UTC View Post
Chaos reigned all around, with beastkin darting about in frenzied panic. The approaching airship, a looming speck in the distance, was steadily drawing nearer. It sparked a heated debate among the beastkin: to retreat underground, back to the relative safety of the catacombs, which would likely spell doom for the half-built a...

What can I say? Nikola was overly passionate about her cruddy looking airship, and I had no idea why. Seriously, a preschooler armed with crayons could whip up a more appealing design. But, biting my tongue, I refrained from sharing these thoughts with the dragonkin lich.
Half-dragonkin!

With the holiday season in full swing, things have been quite hectic, and I must admit, I've fallen short of my two-chapter goal for this week. For that, I sincerely apologize.

Crunching on sizzled goblin fingers, I reveled in the sensation of the bones breaking apart in my mouth before the flesh melted away.

Vanya’s thoughts were a tumultuous storm as she trudged through the dark, dank corridors.

Hello, my wonderfully dark and delightful readers,
I want to give everyone an important heads-up in advance and hear your thoughts on this matter.

Dear Readers,
Here's a quick weekly update – I'm not sure if I'll make this a regular thing, but I do enjoy sharing updates.
The next chapter is shaping up nicely. I prefer writing action scenes in the third person, but I'm aiming to keep Chapter 23 entirely from Blake's perspective. It should be fini...

With a pout as annoyed as it was petulant, I stomped off toward a nearby sewer entrance. This was the less-than-glamorous gateway to the beastkin’s hideout—a mix of sewers and catacombs beneath the ruins of what used to be their capital before the Slaethian forces turned it into a pile of rubble. Dropping down into this s...

With the convergence came colonizers from other moons, drawn to Nyxoria in their relentless...
