San awoke with a headache. His body was stiff and he was cold once more. The drafty room he lay in didn’t provide much comfort, but for the time being it was safe. He had returned Densa to the temple, their interaction with the Hesna Cult had left them both exhausted and in pain. She had left him and he had made ...

San knocked on the apartment door, still perturbed by Panchavi’s appearance. The Landed crime boss knew far too much about San and the others. That put the Exonaris family in danger, as he understood that Panchavi was hurting for money and even if it was a lie, he would try to obtain what he could from those he claimed owed...

As Esomir Sol Suvanis lead Densa, San, and other officials to his father’s rooms, San wondered about the Powers he had. He didn’t have much time to ponder wha the Powers or Levels were doing to him. They made him stronger, faster, and more resilient, but did they also change his mind?

He had been a fearfu...

“Azios, hold up!” San called, but the boy was already gone.

“Fool, boy,” Pavano muttered.

The pair rushed off after the boy, pushing through the crowds and getting glares and curses tossed their way. San pushed out of the crowd, nearly stumbling as he left the stream of people moving down the st...

San awakened, confused and disorientated by his surroundings, or lack of surroundings. Darkness enveloped him, no lights, no sounds of vehicles, and none of the white noise of the fan that Mary always insisted on keeping on. Still air was bad air, she’d always say. Therefore she had kept a fan on, even during the...

“She’ll not bite, lad,” Pavano said as San stood by the entryway.

The world seemed to be holding its breath. The sounds of the busy street outside was muted, the cold wind blowing down the street lost its bite, and San could feel the thundering of his heart as his hand hovered over the latch to the apar...

Apologies, Folx

First of all, my apologies. I’ve just ghosted everyone and haven’t been keeping up my end of this bargain we’ve all made.

I have this belief that writing such as this, in a serialized format and on a nearly daily basis, requires momentum to keep it chugging along. The first kink that arose was my mismanaging of th...

Tender

A bit of IDGM fix.  Still working on fixing the story. Been a little under the weather.

Clothing was an indication of status and San’s status was that of a foreign savage. His tattered winter coat and trousers given to him in Forest River had seen better days. Between the hard traveling and fights against inhuman monsters, the leather coat and pants were on their last legs. San still had an extra pair of trous...

San groaned as he opened his eyes. A foul sourness filled his mouth and his head was pounding with every beat of his heart. He groaned again and saw the beam of sunlight playing across his tattered coat.

Sunlight? San lay back his head, resting on something soft. What had happened? He remembered going to the ...

Attempting to find Pavano and the Exonaris family within White Tower at night was a near impossible task. It wasn’t that the city was a sprawling place, it was actually fairly condensed, with homes, warehouses, and workshops all tightly packed within three story building that towered everywhere.

The city re...

IDGM - Maya

Just a bit of a sketch to help ease the hiatus pain.  I do enjoy drawing and such, but haven’t had much time recently to do so.  As they say, use it or lose it... or get really bad at it.

IDGM Hiatus

For the last few weeks i've been struggling with writing IDGM, I know where i want to go with the story, but I seem to be doing it in the wrong way.  I enjoy the story and I'm not discontinuing it, but i need a few days to hammer out where i've been going wrong in the writing. 

What I've seen is that I've been...

“I am Histoa! Explosive Mage of White Tower and the Barony of Sol Suvanis!” the Mage declared at the guards manning the entrance into White Tower.

The thick gates had been closed by the time they reached the city, and a dozen guards had set up a small camp outside of the walls. They all looked tired and worn, their ...

B3-33 - Missiles and Warlocks

Maya chewed chocolate bar as she watched the Tarvana begin hustling toward the Hangy. She frowned at the sight, seeing that they were still wholeheartedly determined to snuff her and Bad Blood out. She had hoped the fliers and the destruction of their logistics lines would force some cooler heads to prevail. The pr...

San scooped up water from the low flowing creek. Brittle ice cracked under the bronze pot and the rounded rocks of on the creaked scratched the metal. Brown tinged water flowed into the pot and San pulled it out.

He looked to the sky, the thin clouds didn’t hold anything that looked like a storm, but they still bother...

You’ve either got a serious hate on for one particular species or you just happened upon a fair number of them to farm EXP, either way. You’ve killed a lot…

San awoke to the chill of the morning light. He stared at the stone ceiling above him, it was painted with scenes of men battling ebony and crimson monstrosities. Soldiers wearing armor and mages lit up in green light casting spells. He hadn’t noticed them the night before, all his focus had been on the dead, the blood, and...

B3-31 - Glow on the Horizon

Planning and organization for an extended trek across the rainbow sky hellscape had not been a thing that the Tarvana did often. Their world, accord to Bad Blood, was only a few hundred square kilometers they called the Motherland. That is where they were born, died, and added to the biomass that the Mother used to...

San walked along a sidewalk, the sounds of traffic filled the air and the chilled humid air blew through his light coat. He felt a figure pressed against him, leaning in against the cold and against the wind, or maybe just wanting to be close to him.

“It’s cold,” Mary said.

“It’s not that bad,...

B3-30 - Mother's Claws

Nope, Maya thought. I’m not going to see the System because I’m not about to friggin’ die just yet!

Pain was the surest sign that you had just fucked up, according to Pops Sullivan. Maya was in pain and she knew she had fucked up. It was a simple thing called vetting all the damn Tarva...

“Put out the fire,” San hissed. Elgava and the others looked at him like he was insane. Pivane was still recovering from nearly getting hypothermia and Elgava was heating up another pot of tea. “Now.”

Putting out a fire that was keeping the howling wind and freezing cold at bay wasn’t an easy task. ...

B3-29 - High General’s Summons

The screaming of metal, machinery, and the cursing of men and women filled the Dock as Maya opened a doorway into it. The stench of hot oil, gasoline, smoke, and other exhausts filled the air. Orders were being shouted, announcements were being called out via intercoms that now worked, and officers and engineers ro...

Dawn arrived none too soon. San wearily looked out of the tunnel they were hidden within and scanned the cavern that was still bathed in mostly darkness, but with enough light now that the roof was shredded that it made seeing much easier.

San stared at the hole in the roof. Before it had been merely a large circular op...

B3-28 - Soldiers

The screaming of a woman caught Mathias Navarro’s attention. He snapped around, his axe raised and ready to strike. A woman stared up at him, clutching a child. She was yelling something to him, but he didn’t understand her. She looked at him in horror, no she wasn’t looking at him. Navarro turned to see a cr...

“We really can’t get out through these tunnels,” San said as he shoved against the blockage of rocks and debris. He dusted the resin off his gauntlets and looked to Elgava who stood with a torch in hand.

“We’re fucked,” she said.

“Not entirely,” San exited the tunnel, looking up toward the hole in ...

“They’re not dead,” Marcus stated.

Maya looked at her younger brother. The usual marks of exhaustion, lack of proper hygiene, and the general lack of food showed on him. His clothing was a mix of civilian and military, along with some bits of metal strapped to his thighs and upper arms, creating a makeshift armor ...

The cavern began filling with battos, scurrying in from deeper within the nest, arriving at the behest of their keening queen.

“We’re fucked,” Elgava said. She immediately began pulling off the two pistols she carried, setting them on the ground before her and then setting out the crossbow bolts alongsi...

B3-26 - Rammstein

“An army marches on it’s stomach,” Maya said, leaning back in her chair. “Who said that?’

“Patton?” Hanna answered.

“No, seriously. I don’t know who said that,” Maya responded.

“Oh. Yeah, I don’t know much about history, but let me tell you about the wonderful world of chem...
