Book 1 - Lesson 30: "Never give the enemy a second chance."

Yutu knocked another metal penguin away with his spear. It tumbled into the surrounding horde, dissipating into a cloud of gray dust, only to be replaced by another. How many had that made? A hundred? A thousand? Ten thousand? He didn't know; he had lost track long ago. Time mattered little in this place. Sometimes it felt like he had been here forever like he had known no other place but this ...

Book 1: GRIM Adventures - 2 (Version 2!!!)

Another Chapter?! Nope, sorry! 

This is the same chapter, but its been run through another Editing program I recently found. I wanted you all to take a look at it and compare it to the "old" version and tell me what you think. 

Do you feel like it cleared it up better and made it easier to read?

Book 1: GRIM Adventures - 2

The small furry animal and the young woman sat on the large boulder, passing the left-wrapped bundle of nuts and berries between each other.

However, the silent peace of the meal didn’t last as two figures rounded the corner for the umpteenth time.

Book 1 - Lesson 29: "Never assume you see the whole board"

Hmmmm. Might have to rewrite this one. Tell me what you all think!

--------------

Ganaa watched from a distance as Ulagan put his spear through another penguin as it tried to crawl out of the small gap in the wall. As a group, they’d plugged most of the gaps the Grassbreakers had found with rubble or penguin bodies. Yet the intruders were relentless and constantly found or made ne...

Book 1 - Lesson 28: "Careful what you wish for."

He was bored! This place was boring!

Alpha slouched on the ground, the TAWP sagging like a deflated balloon. He’d expected more from ruins in a magical world! Traps! Artifacts of world-ending power! At least something to find! Nope, this place was just a plain old set of broken buildings and empty rooms. There may have been something here long ago, but others had gotten here before them...

Book 1 - Lesson 27: "If you feed a puppy enough times, it'll lead you to treasure."

Their trip to the Jadewalker’s Earth Shrine had been going smoothly…mostly. The Lord Protector’s speed had been astounding. Sure, she knew high-level Spirit Beasts could travel at great speeds, but she’d never witnessed it. The Grand Elk that pulled most buildings of the Wandering Cities could grow to great size and strength, but they were slower, more methodical beasts.

There was...

A favor to ask of you all.

One of my sister's coworkers was recently in a serious crash. Some douche cut them off and he was ejected from the car. There's not much they can do for him, and the family has decided to pull life-support.

As a young man in his thirties, with a grieving widow of only 3 years and some young children, this understandably has put some serious strain on the family, who weren't expecting or h...

Chapters are up for today + Quick warning.

Chapters are posted for all Tiers today, but I wanted to give a quick heads up .

There MIGHT not be a chapter Wednesday. I screwed my shoulder up something fierce on Friday, and Its been KILLING me all weekend. Even this last chapter took 3 days to write. 

I've ordered a TENs Unit off amazon (my mom let me use hers, and it worked amazing for a while), but it doesn't come in til...

Book 1 - Lesson 26: "Always find a moment to learn."

Zolzaya was not having a pleasant day.

It started with an argument between her parents just before the start of the hunting trip. Her mother had always been protective of her, even if for the wrong reasons. Her mother loved Zolzaya in her own way, but to her, her daughter’s goal should have been finding a nice Jadewalker husband. To her mother, Zolzaya had the responsibility to...

Book 1 - Lesson 25: "Taxi Services cost extra."

May 12th Note: <_<.... Well, I'm embarrassed as hell. 

I'd set all these chapters to release on a timer, so I could play the new Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, uninterrupted (amazing game btw, 10/10 would recommend.)

Well, apparently I did it wrong, because I woke up to a discord message after 15 hours of Zelda (woot) Asking where the chapters were....orz.....

Book 1 - Lesson 24: "Misunderstandings can be both help and hinder"

Kallik, Ulagan, and Ganbaatar stood in a small circle as Gan told his story from the beginning. He left out no details, from the Beast Lord’s progeny to his rescue by the Akh’lut pup and even Yutu’s strange array. That last bit was particularly interesting to Kallik, and the Grassreader had glanced over at the unconscious man when Gan mentioned it.

Zaya had stayed by Yutu’s side s...

Book 1 - Lesson 23: "The show isn't over till the fat Penguin squeals"

=======================================

Grassreader Kallik of the Slatewalkers was getting too old for this crap.

Not that she was old by Cultivator standards, of course. Many would call her a still chipper youth, despite how her joints popped now and again. She blamed the “kids” of Slatewalker, always getting into some new trouble or thinking of some new way to test her patienc...

Book 1 - Lesson 22: "Hell hath no fury like a woman out for blood"

Ganbaatar was amazed at their progress in catching up with the others. The Lord Protector's ability to "slide" along the ground made for a far smoother and quicker trip than he had expected. That was great for Yutu's condition.

Gan could tell his friend wasn't out of the woods yet, but the young man looked far more stable than he had only a short while ago. He wasn't sure what the Lord Pr...

Book 1 - Lesson 21: "Title pending"

Book 1 - Lesson 20: "Escort missions are the WORST."

Movement drew Gan’s attention back to the man in his arms. Yutu moaned and tried to sit up, but a gentle hand on his shoulder pressed him back down. A hard cough wracked the smaller man’s body, reopening his wound as fresh blood gurgled. The medicine Gan has used has stopped the bleeding somewhat, but it was meant for minor bite wounds and cuts. Not… not something like this.

At most...

Book 1 - Lesson 18: "Curse the enemy with your dying breath!"

(╯°□°）╯ ︵┻━┻

I've rewritten this chapter TWICE today and I still don't really like it for some reason. But I can't say WHY.

Tell me what you all think of this one? Do you think it still needs touch up?

Book 1: GRIM Adventures - 1

The small, furry animal sat atop a small boulder, nibbling on his berry. He was a Root Gopher, for he had no true name, though the strange creature kept referring to him as “Mr. Gopher.” He hadn’t the slightest clue what that meant, but he was a smart Gopher and could recognize a title of respect.

The silence of his meal was broken as something approached from the distance. A large,...

Book 1 - Lesson 17: "Ask yourself, 'What would a real man do?'"

{How is something so tiny, so fast?!}

Alpha thought to himself as he chased after the fleeing signal beacon.

The TAWP was damaged, sure, but Snowball could travel through the ground at surprising speeds. He really needed to figure out how the local wildlife did that. If he could replicate it with a drone, it would speed up mining operations quite a bit. But as with many things recen...

Book 1 - Lesson 16: "Timing is key to any good first impression."

“Aaauuggghhhh!”

Ganbaatar of the Slatewalkers swung his spear in a wide arc, catching two Grassbreakers as they leaped at him. They flew for several meters, slamming into a third as it rose from the ground. The butt of his spear shot back, catching a fourth as it tried to ambush him with his back turned. Gan turned and pushed, driving the metal-tipped spear butt deep into the creature...
