WRITING UPDATE

Greetings, my peculiarly twisted companions,

I am delighted to inform you that I shall be unveiling a delightful assortment of chapters, all at once, on the splendid occasion of Sunday, the 2nd of April. While my aspirations initially aimed for a grand total of five chapters, it appears that four may be the more likely outcome. Although I could endeavor to produce a fifth...

Schedule UPDATE

My Beloved Dark Creatures,


The thrill of experimentation has seized me, sparking the creative depths of my mind as I present my latest endeavor to you, my cherished readers.


This week, I'm eager to test a new approach to releasing chapters in bulk. I posted a chapter yesterday, which, according to Patreon, has only been read by 6 individuals, making it an ideal...

CHAPTER 33 - The Breach

Vanya’s head thudded against the dark, damp wooden interior of the Airlight Pod, her body tensing in anticipation. Suddenly, a deafening explosion rattled her bones, signaling the commencement of the airships’ bombardment with their arcane arsenal. The putrid scent of vomit invaded her senses, betraying the anxiety of the young squires preparing to spill blood and unleash their magical prow...

CHAPTER 32 – Joy in Chaos

The abrupt entrance of Yua into the Grand Hall sent chills coursing through the veins of all those gathered. I found myself delighting in the sumptuous scent of their dread as it tantalized my senses and stirred an exhilarating thrill within me. Yua’s labored breaths and untamed gaze were a spectacle to relish, a perfect appetizer for my insatiable craving. And then, the cry, a beautiful soun...

CHAPTER 31 - Primal Instincts

Moments Earlier… 

I followed Aurelia’s every move with an insatiable desire, like a shooting star to the horizon. My eyes fixated on the seductive sway of her hips as she moved, a hypnotic rhythm that enraptured me completely. I yearned to feel the touch of her flawless skin once again, to indulge in the sensations of passion that consumed me.

It was a strange feeling that ...

Modification UPDATE

Upon returning to rectify the error I had made, I discovered that it was less severe than I had initially believed. I made a passing reference in Chapter 28 about Blake consuming the guards she had kept stored away while noting that Niamh's corpse still remained. Furthermore, I took out a short sentence from Chapter 30 that alluded to her devouring the guards, as they were already consumed duri...

CHAPTER 30 - The Priestess and the Hare

Yua slumped against the portcullis of the ruins, her body stiff with tension. She could feel the weight of impending doom settling on her shoulders, a heavy burden that threatened to crush her spirit. Every instinct told her they should’ve kept running, flee this place of death and despair. Nevertheless, they had sought refuge in a fortress that had already been sieged once before. She couldn...

INTERLUDE - Champions of Light

Galen was seething with frustration as he was surrounded by the royal court’s chosen few, tasked with serving as his personal guards in this desolate outpost in the remote countryside. And while he acknowledged their efforts, he was also irked by his kingdom’s constant vigilance over his safety. He was no fragile blossom to be coddled and kept under lock and key like some delicate artifact....

Aurelia - Art

I took an image from the 3rd Ai Art post and edited it with red eyes and blood on her face with Photoshop.

I'll use this image on RR and SH next week. I wanted to ensure you got to see it first.

Patreon Exclusive – Road Map & Cruel Concepts

SPOILER WARNING!


Greetings, my cherished minions,

I must impart a fair warning to you, my adored malevolent beings: I am one who recoils from the shackles of outlines and structure, opting instead to let the story run wild as an untamed beast, guided solely by my whims. Nevertheless, as this realm of wonder burgeons in complexity, I have resolved to devis...

CHAPTER 29 – PIÈCE DE RÉSISTANCE

I gazed upon the scene, spellbound by the explosive barrage of magic unleashed by the dungeon denizens upon the invading knights, who had stolen their prized possession. The absurdity of it all was not lost on me, as I would have snatched the dungeon core without a second thought, not caring about its purpose or consequences. But where had it disappeared to now?

A gnawing sense of dread c...

CHAPTER 28 - The Way Stone

My gaze rose to the tree line, and I was filled with a flicker of hope. An army stood there, led by a gnarled old warg that looked like a werewolf straight out of a horror movie. With his furrowed brow, long beard, and piercing eyes, this wizard-werewolf cast an ominous gaze across the battlefield. His staff was alive with crackling lightning energy, a spectrum of colors that would have made a ...

There was Darkness!

Heather descended into the bowels of the dungeon, stumbling behind a young undead goblin. The oppressive darkness enveloped her like a suffocating shroud. The memories of her past in this hellish dark pit were not fond, and she cursed herself for venturing back into this abysmal abyss once more. Her trembling hand instinctively reached for the ...

Gather round, for a fateful update doth approach!

Greetings, my loyal servants of the shadows, 

I have come to a decision after much contemplation. A certain salacious remark will no longer grace the pages of Chapter 27 in the PDF version along with RR and SH's websites, although it shall still linger on the Patreon post. Despite my fondness for such depraved scenes, I do not wish for them to overshadow the relationship between Blak...

CHAPTER 27 - Aurelia's Fall

With a guttural groan, Jason felt like he was about to collapse onto the ground. Pulsating agony snaked through his veins, devoured his strength, and left him powerless. His arms and legs trembled and convulsed with pain. His muscles felt as though they were being torn apart from the inside out. Despite his valiant efforts to remain standing, he couldn’t muster the energy for much longer. And...

CHAPTER 26 - Wailing Drums

Vanya Anlyth, Elven Knight, and Paladin of the Kingdom of Slaethia lay alone in her bed. The bitter cold of the bedsheet’s emptiness filled her heart with an aching at her husband’s absence. The knowledge that he was fulfilling his duties as the General of the army was of little comfort. The hours of his absence seemed to stretch on endlessly. The sounds of this night’s celebrations only ...

CHAPTER 25 - Forbidden Secret

The proclaimed Dark Champion, a title that was nothing but a cruel insult. Jason remained haunted by the nightmare of that psycho sludge girl’s tentacle ramming its way down his throat and throughout his body. The memory caused him to clench his ass cheeks. It had violated him in the most grotesque manners before tossing him like damaged goods to suffer a slow and painful death. He shuddered ...

Ugh... Names are stupid!

Greetings, my beloved acolytes of darkness.

It is I, your supremely deranged ruler!

In my moments of madness, I have stumbled upon a troubling issue that I had overlooked in my attempts to repair the fucked up magic system. The label Levelers is far too mundane for my tastes, and I find myself in dire need of a more fitting title.

The title Ascendant does have a certain ring t...

CHAPTER 24 - Beloved Monsters

I loomed over Olin’s new corpse like a harbinger of death as Ava meticulously bound the phylactery to it with surgical care. Though she said nothing, I couldn’t help but sense a hint of admiration from her, as if she were in awe of the situation. Perhaps even a private joke!

Ever since our fateful encounter with the Crone, the world had taken on a twisted and surreal quality, like a f...

CHAPTER 23 - The Masochist

Vorigan, a vampiric monstrosity with amphibian-like features, was not blessed with the fangs of his kin. Instead, his frog-like face housed a maw lined with miniature, fish-like teeth. He lacked an intimidating presence of any kind. The cruel joke was not lost on him, as even his tormentors now saw him as nothing more than a mere plaything, fit only to be toyed with and abused. Vorigan felt lik...

CHAPTER 22 - General Stalking

And so, here I am, compressed and condensed down to the size of a tarantula, with most of my gooey tar-like body stored within Stellar Void. As I skittered on eight legs through an enemy camp just outside the town of Elsternwick’s shabby wooden walls. I was certain I had stumbled upon the tent where they held Aurelia captive, but there was a small hitch. Twelve bastards, six in full elegant p...

CHAPTER 21 - Impaled Carolers

We all sprang into action when the Crone finished her decree, splitting into two groups. Wartie – My. My… The Crone’s new grandbaby – Seriously! What the fuck?! You know what, I don’t fucking care! Anyhow. The kid led the five dipshits back into the dungeon to present the Crone’s offer to restore the dungeon folk’s lost magic and powers. They jus...

CHAPTER 20 - Ethereal Tune

I reclined in the dreary and foreboding depths of my consciousness, mesmerized by Ava’s spellcasting. Her movements were as fluid and graceful as the sweeping arcs of a symphonic conductor’s baton. I was spellbound by her mastery, but I would never grant her the satisfaction of knowing how deeply I was entranced. Olin’s soul still clung around his body, even after his skull had been shatt...

CHAPTER 19 - Fract%red @$%&@

As I emerged from my slumber in the all too familiar viscosity of my tar-like form. I was once again filled with a sense of frustration at the repetitiveness of the experience. One of these days, I’ll wake up without being a puddle of goo!

I shifted into my human form, allowing my spider silk to wrap me up, fashioning my gorgeous phony casing together. Well, maybe phony to othe...

INTERLUDE – Aurelia’s Desire

Britannia

“Flee, Aislinn, my love,” Bowen cried out, his voice trembling with fear and urgency. “The Romans are closing in, and we must make haste.”

The winter solstice had brought naught but woe to their tribe, for the Romans had come to conquer all. Aislinn and Bowen were two of the few who had escaped the wrath of the invaders, but the fear of capture st...

CHAPTER 18 - A Delightful Nightmare

“Arise, my dearest Blake, the hour is nigh to leave thy dreams behind! The other young ones do prance and play in fields so wonderous and kind. So come, child, and join the fun in the meadow bright and rare, where frolics and games and joys untold do await thee, fair and rare.”

I awoke to the sound of childish laughter, a symphony of joy and delight. My eyes beheld a verdant meadow wh...

CHAPTER 17 - Mask the Terror!

I gazed at the child’s lifeless body, feeling a swirling storm of emotions, pain, guilt, sorrow, and above all else, burning rage. My anger boiled within me, and I thirsted for revenge! Fortunately, I had two phylacteries, but using one on an irritating brat who I had barely managed to resist killing myself felt like such a waste. But for someone else to come along and take the child’s life...

CHAPTER 16 - A New Pet

As I followed the goblin child through the twisting tunnels of the dungeon, I could feel my excitement building. The thought of hunting down the other candidates, emerging victorious as the Dark Champion, and returning to Aurelia filled me with an almost intoxicating thrill. But for now, I had to make do with Wartie’s idiotic company, although I did enjoy listening to his new pet slime’s pl...

“Alright, Blake, it’s time to get back to training!”

“Oh yes, Ava, because while we’re busy trying to track down the four escaped candidates that nearly took me out with a single spell, let’s make sure to add even more to our already overflowing plate. Priorities, right?”

I stumbled out of the boss chamber where I had just battled the five candidates. I was frustrated....

CHAPTER 14 - Eating a goblin like a lady!

Seriously? Again?! I found myself, once again, waking up in my liquid form on this delightful floor of the former Red Toad’s boss chamber, only this time, every nerve ending in my black pudding body was set ablaze. I was so sure I had that fight in the bag with a freaking twenty-level advantage. Who wouldn’t feel confident with that kind of advantage?! But no, I had to go and convi...
