Board & Conquest 64: Alexandrite
Previous Chapter--------As it turned out, Fire Sultana Alexandrite was literally mercurial.Victoire and the rest of Verglane’s delegation were guided into the depths of the royal palace and its inner chambers dug into the very heart of Mount Sunfire. It was there, on a sculpted platform of black basalt polished with an obsidian floor rising above a lake of churning magma, that the Fire Sultan Onyx once welcomed petitioners. Victoire knew she an...
Anonymous Story Vote Experiment
Hello again everyone,So from a cursory read of the current story poll it's looking like it's going to be another extremely close one. Considering it's been three near deadlocks in a row, I'm starting to wonder if leaving the results public and keeping only two options doesn't encourage evening things out or near ties.Unfortunately, Patreon doesn't allow me to hide results in real time... but other applications like Strawpo...
Story Poll: Class Action or Paypocalypse
Alright everyone, so you've seen two potential new story that I might write after completing Blood & Fur. As said in multiple previous messages, the new series (that I'll update alongside Board & Conquest) will have a more commercial focus (so LitRPG, weak to strong, one viewpoint) since I'll have less time on my end with TPR game related stuff; I was considering offering a third, more dark fantasy magical academy option (themed after...
Board & Conquest 63: Sugar Goddy
Previous Chapter------All true Dungeons had a core, a heart of pure mana around which walls and rooms slowly grew over the eons; and Neigebleue Castle was no exception.Wepwawet found the core in the castle’s depth, buried in a room hidden behind countless layers of traps and mimic monsters. Entire adventurer parties would have been wiped out making their way to it, but Wepwawet simply had to manifest his spirit in the right location. As a god w...
Potential New Story Pilot: The Paypocalypse (1 & 2)
Heya, as said a while back, here's one of the potential pilots for the novel that will take over after Blood & Fur concludes somewhen in July; The Paypocalypse. That one was proposed a bit earlier against Board & Conquest and only lost by one vote, so I'm putting it up here again with a few edits. Hope you'll enjoy it.------"How do you circle a square?""By cutting enough corners!"Famous DungeonCorp inside-joke.------It...
Potential New Story Pilot: Class Action (1 & 2)
Heya, as said for a while, here's one of the potential pilots for the novel that will take over after Blood & Fur concludes somewhen in July; Class Action. I'm posting it here for your eyes only a bit early and I'll be happy to read your reactions ;)-----------Chapter 1Vincent was hiking when the Cult of Mastemo nearly destroyed the city.The day had started like almost any other Saturday, with him visiting the forest of Fontainebleau ...
Board & Conquest 62: The Blitz
Previous Chapter---------Twenty.There were twenty giant wendigos running around Neigebleue Castle, and all of them were converging onto the courtyard. Wepwawet had no idea how tough normal wendigos were, but these ones were big enough to trouble the likes of Insupportable. Heck, a few of the ones converging towards the dragons retained enough memories of their former lives to carry weapons like maces and axes.As much as he despised Insupportable,...
Blood & Fur Chapter 110: Snake Shedding Skin
Previous Chapter------It had been a long time since I took a bath with all four of my consorts at the same time.The water heated up the instant I slipped inside it, so we didn’t even need to light a fire to keep it warm. I could have boiled it into steam, but settled on a more comfortable temperature that my wives and sister could enjoy.My moving palace had taken its first steps towards Paititi and the battle that awaited us there, so this migh...
Board & Conquest 61: Deer Hunt
Previous Chapter-----A great sigh echoed across all of Verglane’s Altars.Wepwawet had been checking up on his Champions’ Dungeon expedition through their senses in case they needed his guidance; a suspicion which proved correct once shifting walls split the party apart across the castle. That kind of mess happened all the time with mortals and especially with adventurers.This one took him aback, though.“Who are you people?” Rapoleon asked...

After some considerations, I've opted to self-publish Dungeon Wreckers on Amazon & Kindle Unlimited myself. Unlike Gunsoul (whic...
Board & Conquest 60: Castle Mysteries
Previous Chapter--------The princess was close. Soumis could feel it in his bones and his nose.At his core, Soumis was a misunderstood artist, a genius centuries ahead of his time. Whereas other dragons considered princesses little more than trophies to parade around and put on display on their hoards before they released them back into the wild—so they could evolve into queens and eventually make more princesses—he alone understood that thei...
Board & Conquest 59: Dungeon Nights
Previous Chapter-------One of Wepwawet’s major quests involved turning Narc into a worthy capital capable of housing eight thousand inhabitants.The Titan Incursion had considerably delayed that objective, but days upon days of raising Wolf Houses, casting Ice Barrier Miracles, and summoning Flying Elephants to use as beasts of burden had finally allowed Wepwawet to rebuild the city’s fortifications better than they were before. The evacuated ...
Blood & Fur Chapter 109: The Essence of Life
Previous Chapter-------I heard the cry of the earth when nightfall came.It was an inviolable law of the world that all suns must set, and though I had blessed this world with a dawn, the fangs of night still gnashed without pause or pity. The great light in the sky completed its exhausting course behind the mountains, announcing the onset of twilight and the end of day. The distant peaks reminded me of taunting teeth shrouded in shadows. For all ...
Board & Conquest 58: Blessed Days
Previous Chapter------At long last, it was time for his Champions to rank up.The Titan Incursion had been such a harrowing experience that all of Wepwawet’s chosen defenders had earned a power boost from it. He had given them time to think about the paths they wished to take and then summoned them to Narc to receive the appropriate blessings once Victoire’s team returned from the newly founded Portlight.Seeing them gathering at his Idol’s f...
Patreon Bonus: Elphion's Map (B&C)
Hello,Some patrons have demanded a map of Elphion, and since we've advanced into Volume 2 where most of the world's geography is known to the main cast, I'm now releasing my official map of the area ;) some light spoilers for those who haven't finished volume 1.Nations:1) Verglane, Wepwawet's civilization; red spots are current or potential Altar locations (A1 Promesse; B1 Narc; C1 Roynimalia; D1 Fort Jarlack; F1 Icefall; H1 I...
Board & Conquest 57: New Projects
Previous Chapter---------They found the Black Lighthouse empty.While Victoire had often participated in fishing trips from Cape Narc, most locals knew better than to travel too far north into the Winter Sea’s stormy waters. Most of their ships weren’t equipped to make long trips, to the point that the longship her crew used to reach the current island had to be built from scratch under Lord Wepwawet’s guidance, and even then they would have...

Board & Conquest 56: Interlude - Schemes of the Titans
Previous Chapter------Somewhere in the space in-between worlds, a fly was begging for mercy.“I…” Beelzebub buzzed as an invisible force choked his essence. “Forgive… me…”“You have disappointed us, Beelzebub,” a female, reptilian voice echoed in the void between worlds. Five great inhuman shadows loomed in the crimson infinity that separated Elphion from Titanspace. “We find your performance so far most lacking.”Unlike the go...
Blood & Fur Chapter 108: Setting the Stage
Previous Chapter-------I spent the morning fulfilling prayers.The only building in Hananpacha larger than the imperial palace was its Temple of the Sun; a massive circular monument built with ashlar stones paved with gold and excised of any imperfection. The Sapa oracles used the parabolic-shaped wall for astronomy purposes by measuring the movements of the sun and the stars. Every inch of its central pyramid was gilded in the smoothest and pures...
Dungeon Wreckers 73: The End (Epilogue)
Previous Chapter-------It was December 24th, 2024 in Evermarsh. Time was half-stable, monsters were scarce, and Swiss chocolate was still the best.Matthew still hated malls with a passion though, even Mr. Chang’s own. All the weeks of therapy he went through couldn’t stop him from looking over his shoulder whenever he spotted his friends walking into a shop or taking the wrong turn. But his Doom Sense had remained quiet for days now, so he ha...
Board & Conquest 55: Test Results (Vol 1 Epilogue)
Previous Chapter--------The first exam results were in.Wepwawet could almost taste the tension in the air as he and his classmates shifted in their seats and Miss Athena forwarded them their score sheets through the System.“These are the results given to you by the Board of Education based on the period preceding the First Titan Incursion,” Miss Athena explained. “The totals will be averaged once all Incursions are complete to give you your...
Board & Conquest 54: Aftermath
Previous Chapter------Pele looked terribly dispirited.Wepwawet had expected as much when he teleported back to the classroom and to most of his classmates’ acclaim. Ganesha and Artemis drew him into a group hug the moment he materialized back, with most of the rest clapping and congratulating him. Only Pele’s posse of Axomamma, Ishtar, and Epona took a moment to try and console Pele, which probably worsened her mood.Gods could stand compassio...
Dungeon Wreckers 72: The Closure
Previous Chapter------They fell through an ocean of dead histories.Matthew couldn’t quite describe what he saw any other way. He and Tarantulas descended into an otherworldly space of floating particles holding more Flux than he had ever seen. Most of it was violet and yellow, but all strains of colors were represented here. The pocket dimension around them was larger than the core’s exterior would have suggested, so vast that he couldn’t s...
Board & Conquest 53: Incursion Ends
Previous Chapter-------Wepwawet had almost forgotten what it felt like to have a mortal body.Gods lived in realms of raw mana and Influence far away from the material existence of mortals. Incarnating as a physical being was a novel experience for most, and Wepwawet was no exception. The last time he had walked on a mortal world’s surface was back in Egypt many eons ago.An Avatar’s powers depended on the deity’s portfolio, and Wepwawet’s ...
Blood & Fur 107: The Emperor Protects
Previous Chapter---------My soul burned its way out of my flesh.My blazing heartfire spilled out of my ribcage in an arson of the spirit, my bones no longer capable of containing it. I sensed a balance break within me, between the man and the god, the light and the shadow, the totem and the body, the immaterial and the physical. My flames became a bonfire that shone from within and coated my brittle mortal bones in gilded, imperishable steaming m...
Dungeon Wreckers 71: The Gate Opens
Previous Chapter------Perse stared at him.Her face looked exactly like it did in her last moments, her expression frozen in a haunted cry of terror and betrayal. Her echo floated at the forefront of a mass of twisted souls screaming without lungs to hold their breaths. How long had these poor souls been trapped in their last moments? Years? Centuries?“Matt…” she said, her voice cutting through the chorus and calling him with the fervor of a...
Board & Conquest 52: Last Prophecy
Previous Chapter--------Goreville’s sword shone with holy light as it carved its way through another monstrous slime.His fur was marred with blisters from the corrosive acid and steel shrapnel pervading this hellhole of a land. His wounds healed quicker since Lord Wepwawet blessed him with greater power, but barely enough to keep up with the passive damage he constantly received from the environment. While most of the group had weathered it wel...
Board & Conquest 51: Management Review
Previous Chapter-----------From the way Whiro hesitated, Wepwawet could guess what cards the Titan had in his hand.The most sensible play would be to cast a Miracle and recover those he had in the discard pile, yet Whiro didn’t do that. This meant he lacked any of such options, having either discarded them during his initial Tsunami barrages or most likely losing them when Pele milled four cards off his deck with Auto-da-fé. Any option he play...
Dungeon Wreckers 70: Heart of Darkness
Previous Chapter-------Of course Durge would be here at the end of all things.Matthew would have been afraid once, terrified even; but he was too dead inside for fear. Only anger remained, alongside the determination to see the bastard die before him.“Don’t be sorry,” Matthew replied coldly, Flux gathering in his hands. “I hoped you would be here today.”“Aww, I knew you cared, Mathias!” Durge insisted on the name like a killer twist...
Board & Conquest 50: Disaster Cycle
Previous Chapter------It was a disaster.Wepwawet couldn’t find any other word to describe the current board state. A miniature sea occupied most of the southeast side of it, having drowned nearly the entire magmorian army and heavily damaged Citadel Sapphire. The tidal wave would have likely destroyed it utterly without the lava moat evaporating most of the water, though the magma had cooled and the walls had cracked or collapsed in some places...
