Chapter 2124
ToC: https://www.patreon.com/posts/23899958Elhume, perhaps self-evidently, looked essentially like a human. A tall, athletic human with short hair that shimmered in light and flowed from one color to the next, but a human nonetheless. His nose was wide and his jawline strong. He wore only a thin black vest; it almost struck Randidly as weird not to have a colored robe identifying his identity. He wore battered boots and cloth shorts.His eyes were...
Chapter 2123
ToC: https://www.patreon.com/posts/23899958Man, I couldn't quite get the third chapter to the right feel. Let's see how industrious I feel tomorrow...Jawem kept his face even as the referee announced the two teams competing in the exhibition game. Even though he understood the purpose, he still felt too bone tired to put up with this shit. The tournament wouldn’t start for another three days, but truly, this was quite a bit more of an â...
Chapter 2122
ToC: https://www.patreon.com/posts/23899958Okay I lied, Only 1 tonight. Travel days always exhaust me. Let's get three more out this weekend~There were a few moments while Randidly followed after the rampaging Patron of the Deep when he felt a horrible, constricting sense of deja vu. Anxiety crept into him. His emotional sea began to stir. He believed everything was alright with Jotem, but he had believed the same about Helen, hadn’t he? Hi...

Plot Day

The delivery for those ranged (some domestic US and some international) from about next monday to the following Monday. I got everyone who sent me their new address by today at 2 PM local (about seven and a half hours ago).So follow up for the rest of you: Patreon's visual update included hiding your addresses, if you had them d...
Chapter 2121
ToC: https://www.patreon.com/posts/23899958Inwardly, Jawem felt embarrassed and slightly intimidated as he looked at the strong jawline and dark hair of the sleek figure in front of them; he hadn’t sensed the Nether King’s approach at all. Truly, no matter his actual intentions for Devick, the power he wielded could not be denied.Jawem would need to up his vigilance. And hope the Nether King’s intentions toward Devick turned untoward.Of the...
Chapter 2120
ToC: https://www.patreon.com/posts/23899958Randidly sculpted stone with the intent to create a great stadium for Hobfootie. The stands would be spacious, the bowl of an arena high and totally inclusive. Then, with a method he had observed from Armel working, he used his hands to slice the massive wooden cucumbers into manageable wooden planks to begin patching together the innards. These he physically drilled, screwed, hammered, and fitted togeth...
Chapter 2119
ToC: https://www.patreon.com/posts/23899958One chapter~Randidly sat with his legs folded beneath him and his eyes closed. He took several breaths, gradually turning down the burning lava flows of energy he sensed around his person. He would need all of his awareness focused in the next few minutes. His Nether Core churred smoothly, the energy flowing alongside his blood and completing a full circuit through his person.Demetrius sat opposite him i...
Chapter 2118
ToC: https://www.patreon.com/posts/23899958To finish the week! Chapter might be a bit rough; in the editing, I redid quite a lot of it. Hard to catch mistakes without fresh eyes.Drane Swacc yanked on the chain around the Nether King’s neck. The hunched, bark-skinned creature whimpered as the tug sent it stumbling forward. His lip curled up; from his uppity-attitude earlier in the day when it launched an attack on Malloon, this creature had lear...
Chapter 2117
ToC: https://www.patreon.com/posts/23899958Devick was sweat-slicked and radiantly grinning by the time Jawem finally staggered to the waiting team in front of Malloon’s gates. The Hobfootie team was one of an entire throng: the rolling hills around Malloon had almost been entirely settled. Children in bare feet shrieked and chased each other down word, muddy paths. Nearby, an anthropomorphic rat squatted above a fire and sold skewers of roasted...

Your Skill Heritage of the Origin Beast (T) has grown to Level 650!Randidly sat back on his heels in front of the carrot patch, nodding with relish at the thick and healthy root vegetable he pulled out of the ground. He tossed it in the basket with others and surveyed the pitted remnants of the ground; the ...
Chapter 2115
ToC: https://www.patreon.com/posts/23899958Wanted to get one chapter out today, to really set up for this next arc. Plan is break tomorrow, two Friday, one over the weekend.The first thing Coppun did after being snatched up by Randidly was release an aggressive pulse of his image and jerk sharply away. His eyes burned with barely controlled antagonism. Clearly, he both recognized Randidly and felt insulted by his poor treatment from him.The Still...

ToC: https://www.patreon.com/posts/23899958Randidly felt an impulse to chuckle at her reaction, but it wasn’t enough to overcome his desire to cry. Tears continued to roll down across his face as he looked over at Devick. Belatedly, he admitted to himself how out of it he really was: not only had he failed to sense her approach, but he couldn’t even muster up enough self-position to stop.Her presence aggravated the feelings in his body. The t...
Chapter 2113
ToC: https://www.patreon.com/posts/23899958Randidly woke up exhausted and practically buzzing from raw emotional force zooming through his limbs. Closing his eyes, he wished he could let everything go for a short amount of time and sink down into oblivion.But his bed suddenly felt small and cramped. The renovated storeroom still stunk of dust and old Ara Fruits.“Fuck,” He whispered at the ceiling. He could still see the expression on his moth...

Happy Fourth for those in the states! (belatedly).No chapter today for the holiday. Will be a six chapter week.
Chapter 2112
ToC: https://www.patreon.com/posts/23899958The abyss around them collapsed as his hand ripped into the internal space of Rage’s form and tore through his core. The energy sputtered and groped, but the important knot tying the storm together was severed. When the Grey Creature struck, it did not hesitate. It lashed out with intent to kill.Rage growled, a soft noise in the spreading silence.Meanwhile, Randidly felt strangely unmoored without the ...
Chapter 2111
ToC: https://www.patreon.com/posts/23899958Just two. I wanted eight to make up for last week, but it just burnt me out during the week. But I do really like where these two chapters ended up.As he traversed the sea of fire, Randidly’s bed burned away beneath him. It was a fragile boat that couldn’t handle the sweltering temperatures. He touched down, his feet pressing directly against the seething surface of orange and gold and red. The botto...
Chapter 2110
ToC: https://www.patreon.com/posts/23899958Another one chap. Plan is two tomorrow, one on the weekend to finish the week.Drane Swacc used a napkin to wipe grease from the roast duck off his lips. After one last sip of chilled wine, he pressed himself back from the table and slid his chair a short distance back. A servant reached over his shoulder and took away the remnants of the meal. Drane examined the pristine white tablecloth in the wake of t...
Chapter 2109
ToC: https://www.patreon.com/posts/23899958One today as well. Split that plotting for the week over two days. Kinda exhausting, haha.The hanging remnant of what he had just seen hung in Randidly’s eyes, almost haunting him. The tumbling perfection, the interconnections, the endless branches… they spun in constant, harmonious motion. Just by observation, he felt his understanding of the world deepen. In a strange way that benefited both his us...
