ToC: https://www.patreon.com/posts/23899958Hehe. One today, two tomorrow to finish out the week. But I'm excited.Also, this is head up that next week I'll only release 5 chapters. I'll be taking Thursday and Friday off for a bit of a long weekend. Let's accelerate a bit in the meantime.Vualla looked around with interest. In the darkness, her azure eyes seemed to glow. “I mean I’d heard about how insane the construction was, bu...

ToC: https://www.patreon.com/posts/238999581693, 1694, 1695…The slow beat of Jelick Youmon’s heart continued to follow along with the constant march of time. The steady relationship between time and biological function was his lifeline. Sometimes, the Nether could use its strange influence your perception of time. However, Jelick’s body would always be completely honest.At exactly 1750 beats, Jelick opened his eyes. His shift was almost ove...

ToC: https://www.patreon.com/posts/23899958With a rush of stale and humid air, the three cloaked individuals found themselves crouching in a pitch-black cave. Air was displaced by the teleportation, but the surrounding wind soon turned sluggish. All three looked down in annoyance as they found themselves ankle-deep in cool and murky water; they hadn’t noticed this issue until their shoes were soaked through. And by then it was too late.Well, tw...

ToC: https://www.patreon.com/posts/23899958Only one tonight, but I'll make this one up. I've spent the last day reading obsessively; I think I've really needed to read something that reminds me why I got into writing in the first place. I finally feel joyous.In a similar vein, tomorrow's chapters will be me having some fun with two of the recruits. Hopefully you will enjoy.Charlotte couldn’t help but look at the far wall of the ...

Reminder today is my break day. Feeling much better; spent most of today doing a puzzle.Why are puzzles so oddly cathartic...?

ToC: https://www.patreon.com/posts/23899958“Anything to report?” Jelick Youmun asked the guard he was relieving at the observation station. There was a ritualistic cant to the speech; it was the same phrase Jelick had said every day, as he came to relieve the other guard. It signaled the shift between them. The only moments they shared were these bordering edges of their twelve hours shifts, and they gradually came to hold special meaning. WI...

Not feeling well enough to do much today, but I'll this onto tomorrow's writing. Monday will be three chapters, and then I'll probably take my break Tuesday.

I need an extra day. I'll probably smoosh all today's writings into an extra-long chapter. So the goal is to release three tomorrow. Depending on the word count, I'll let you know if I'm gonna take a shot at Saturday.

He had never gotten around to making a shelter large enough to cover all of him, and at this point he didn’t see the point of making any extra effort. Apathy lay heavy across him. His horns itched, but he didn’t even bother to reach up and scratch.He laid on his back with his left arm behind his head, letting his eyes unfocus as he stare...

ToC: https://www.patreon.com/posts/23899958Blessedly, Octavius Shrike responded very quickly when Randidly reached out for information regarding the mysterious Velio Dunn. Honestly, that should have been the sign that the content of the message was not good news. Randidly’s expression quickly turned serious as he read through the message.Don’t become involved with this man under any circumstances. Do not attract his attention. From what I gat...

ToC: https://www.patreon.com/posts/23899958Just one tonight. I won't be making this one up. Construction on my road has been keeping me from sleeping >.<Also, Friday's chapters will come out Saturday afternoon~Raymund Ballast squeezed his hands so tightly that his arms shook with the strain. His knuckles ached. Two responsibilities warred with his chest, the first toward his morals and the second toward his people. After his experience in...
Chapter 1539
ToC: https://www.patreon.com/posts/23899958Despite the fact that the wound weakened the image, it was still strong. Competing just on image, Randidly was not sure his new Grim Chimera image would be able to overpower it directly. Which was slightly disappointing, but he had to give credit where credit was due. The sharp movements and powerful kicks the image displayed were certainly impressive; if his body had been present, Randidly would really ...

ToC: https://www.patreon.com/posts/23899958Randidly shook his head, almost sadly. The emotions from the recruits in front of him swiftly turned extremely chaotic. So much so that he knew there were multiple that likely had made some sort of deal.Yet amongst these recruits, there was one that went beyond that; someone was trying to bring something foreign in.Randidly wouldn’t have been as confident in his discernment a day ago, but Commandant Wi...

Today was my break day~. Be back tomorrow with some angry Rand.
Chapter 1537
ToC: https://www.patreon.com/posts/23899958The Commandant’s eyes glowed, somehow making the wild claim that he could double Randidly’s power credible. But there wasn’t even a flicker of hesitation in Randidly’s mind.“...I will have to decline, Commandant,” Randidly replied slowly. The offer might sound beneficial, but Randidly didn’t trust it for a second. “But thank you for your generosity. Considering that I still need to train ...

ToC: https://www.patreon.com/posts/23899958Elohamore panted rapidly, his lungs clogged with a cloying panic. He dare not blink, lest he missed something and suddenly became the target of this vicious man’s attention. It had only been two minutes since he and Kadan arrived at the Suaycloak Longue, but in that time he had an epiphany; it wasn’t that the security forces didn’t want to intervene in situations like this, but they simply didn’t...

Early warning I won't put out chapters today. I'll defeat Saturday for two tomorrow.I am a bit torn on a plot development. I think I do know that I want to reverse course on making a Vulpine one of Octavius' attackers. I'll change that in the prior chapter today or tomorrow. But I need a bit more time to figure out how it all fits together.
