Volume 3 Released!

The title says it all.

Demon Princess Magical Chaos Volume 3 - Starchild Crusaders has been released in the ebook format. The paperback will take a little longer, but will be out very soon, too.

As is the procedure every time, those of the applicable tier (Tentacle Target and Part of the Chaos) plea...

Chapter 121 - Never A Break

"We got a problem." Senka, sitting in the co-pilot's seat with her astral body, suddenly says. We're only minutes from Arkaim, so whatever it is, we can deal with it when we arrive. "Your other half has returned."

"Oh." I had completely forgotten about her existence at this point. Somebody may or may not have told me that Lenoly and a group of...

Volume 3 Teaser 3

And another month passes. The rewriting process is done and I'm nearing the final chapter of volume 3, which is 100% new. 

For those who have read the RR version, which I assume is everybody who also reads what I post here , the following teaser will open some eyes and maybe mouths. And once you read the book, you'll find that some important story elements are diverging fr...

Chapter 120 - Shattered Predictions

Apparently, 'release mechanism' doesn't mean releasing whoever is inside the restraints. I can't for the life of me think of any other possible meaning those two words could have in this context, but it seems to involve torturing the subject instead. Was it mislabeled?

"You have killed her!" Near points at me in accusation.

"Excuse me, but she sounds very alive to...

Volume 3 Teaser 2

It has been a while since you last heard from me. A new chapter is in the works as I take some time off from rewriting the book. As of now, about 90% of the original content has been replaced with new stuff, so it's pretty much a brand new experience. Look forward to it when it releases eventually™!

Chapter 119 - Crisis Core

I realize that most likely nobody here can fly that piece of technology that is so out of place in what used to be the apparent time period of this fantasy world. But since this is faux fantasy with the stereotypical lost-civilization theme, I guess not even that battle station is out of place.

Let alone the fact that this is the far future of my very own world, too. 2019-04-10 22:51:40 +0000 UTC View Post

Volume 3 Teaser

This is a short scene from volume 3, and there will most likely be more to come as I progress through the book. Look forward to them!

A tentacle whips out from my back and grabs him by his ankle and picks him up. Dangling him in front of me, I tilt my head and lift an eyebrow exaggeratedly.

Announcements (are so fun, especially when you expect an update instead)

Thank you all for your support so far, even through times when I'm slower with uploading because I'm writing the next volume instead of updating the web version.

So I have great news for all of you who stay with me but don't reach the tier at which you get the books for free:

The ebook versions of volume 1 and 2 have both been reduced in price permanently. Get them here:

Chapter 118 - Skyfall

"He isn't dead, granny." Oinos suddenly says. "That's a spare body."

"What have I told you about calling me that?" Changing the target of her radiant glare, Areteniha looks at the dark-skinned Old Human.

"Sorry." Lowering his head, he unexpectedly apologizes. Not only did he clear me of all guilt as the person in question is still alive, but he also seems strangel...

Chapter 117 - Reunions in Zohigal

Kamii Side

Something big is happening above. The massive flying fortress has released a beam of light reminiscent of Kuroeh's light magic, although it was a continuous stream rather than a javelin. A few moments later, the sounds of hundreds of explosions resound across the sky.

"This is our chance." Kamii mutters to Ireyo and turns to Te...

You were expecting a chapter?

Too bad, it was me, an Announcement!

I just came back from a 25-days trip to China, during which I couldn't handle any administrative stuff on Patreon for various and obvious reasons. Those who signed up in hopes of receiving the ebook rewards should be getting a message asking for their details shortly, after which I'll be sending them as soon as I can.

I'll be adding a clause in t...

Chapter 116 - Use the Force

Kamii Side

A small arrow-head like form appears from near the equator of the gray sphere that's floating above the city and blotting out the sun. It quickly drifts down toward the city and seems to be heading straight for the ziggurat atop which the ritual was held.

The Varanida monks standing watch around the wooden stands immediately su...

Chapter 115 - Total Eclipse of the Heart

"Why not just tell me from the start?" I remain standing in the initial position the duel commenced in and look down on Batamira, who lies in the dust before me.

"Because it wouldn't be fun otherwise." He speaks brokenly between panting breaths. After our short exchange, he can't move a single limb and simply stares up into the sky. But there's a grin on his face, meaning he en...

Chapter 114 - To The Promised City

What do I do now?

Tahiri and Aratio have disappeared, and Shelnir comes to tell me that I should go to Zohigal. The clan leaders then inform me that the southern barbarians aren't exactly in a friendly relationship with the Dominion and that very few know anything about them.

It just sounds like a trap, but the timing is too perfect for it to be a coincidence. The...

Chapter K10 - City of God

Zohigal, as it is known to the people of the Dominion, is called Tonatiultepetl in the local tongue, named after their principal deity, the goddess of the sun Tonatihuatl. While Tepeyohuatl is the patron goddess of the city, Tonatihuatl is the one who has gifted them the use of fire and magic. And she continues to give life to the world and its inhabitants.

The stone wa...

Chapter 113 - The Crone

I wake up, not remembering when I fell asleep. There are no windows in this room, so I can't tell what time it is. Normally, I don't need to sleep, but maybe the activities last night were too strenuous while maintaining a human body after all.

The thick smell in the air tells volumes about what happened here, and I pity the maid that has to come in here to clean up; I ...

Chapter 112 - A Stormy Night

I gesture for Tahiri to come with me to my room. Aratio is nowhere to be seen, but I'm sure she'll join us if she can remember that tonight is the night I promised to play with her. If she can't, it'll be her loss.

Along the way, I push all thoughts of the war and other girls aside. There won't be anything or anybody else occupying my mind but the woman - or women - bef...

Chapter K9 - Lady Of The Mountain

Zancrax breaks through an especially thick patch of undergrowth and notices too late that there's no more ground to walk on. After a drop of a few meters, his body hits the water. Luckily, it's not so deep that he can't keep his neck above the surface, but the others following right behind him are shorter in stature.

"Careful, there's-" Before he can warn Terog and Gram, who ar...

Chapter K8 - Journey to the South

Kamii rides the lift up the butte atop which Chandra's fortress stands and looks over the village below. It's empty for the most part, with the majority of its inhabitants pulled out to join the war. There's only a skeleton garrison remaining to defend the young - ajura elderly don't exist, as they stop aging after reaching their prime.

If a large army came this way, the demons...

Till Death Do Us Reunite

The first time I met him, I was thirteen.

He had bright golden hair and blue eyes, was dressed in a Westerner's black suit, and silently stood by the deathbed of dear Grandmother. His presence felt so out of place in our home - in this village deep in the countryside, far away from Edo. However, to a young girl who had never seen a foreigner before, his appearance was blindingly brigh...

Chapter K7 - Leaders Past And Present

"What are you doing here?"

"I should be the one asking that question."

"Why?"

"Because the last time we met, it was in Arkaim."

"Yes."

"How did you get here then?"

"I walked."

"That's not... in either case, what's with that title, Wandering Pariah?"

"What's about it?"

"What have you been doing to earn it?"

"I don't k...

For those to whom these numbers mean nothing, here are a few other points that may tickle your fancy instead:

Chapter 111 - But A Moment's Respite

"[This place has really gone to the dogs.]" Exla comments through her strange airship's speakers when we reach the sky above Arkaim. She remained wordless throughout the journey and didn't even say anything when I picked up Senka along the way. But this is the first thing she says? "[What have you people done to this once so fertile continent?]"

"[No point asking me, I've only ...

Chapter L6 - An End To Extremes

"What do we do?" Xaggavea asks. The ground is shaking as the water that seeped into the porous volcanic rock turns into ice, spreading further underground.

"Get back from here!" Lenoly jumps sideways just in time to avoid getting swallowed by a rift opening under her feet. Then Szaga swoops in and takes her into the safety of the air.

"To the communal halls!" Hakon leaves his heavy ...

Chapter L5 - Earth, Water and Ice

"So they're actually trying to come through here, huh?" Lenoly puts her ear against the wall of hardened lava and listens, but can't hear anything.

"They changed to slowly scraping after the first impact." Xaggavea explains. "But my strings picked that off too."

"This place should be quite easy to defend though. Continue with your work and lay your traps. The fire giants ...

Chapter L4 - A Clash of Fire and Ice

Lenoly gazes out the greenish, half-translucent volcanic glass window, seeing only a dance of whiteness, and sighs. It's the third moon they have spent with the fire giants in the Northern Kongensgrad, and the blizzard outside shows no signs of letting up. It started the moment Asoko was placed in the thawing vat as if the god that froze her was making it known that the attempt to undo his work wa...

Chapter 110 - My Little Otaku Can't Be This Cute

"Hm, are you not? That name sounds Japanese, though?" Exla asks in the common language which we spoke in earlier, then tilts her head and blinks with a puzzled expression. "是中国人吗? 아니면 한국인일까요?"

I don't understand the words she just said, but judging by their intonations and characteristics, they must be Chinese and Korean. Even as a failure in foreign langua...

Announcement

Work on Volume 2 has officially started as of today!

A few statistics for the starting point:

- Covers chapters 24 to 44 (skipping two of the side chapters)

- 61,195 words

- 177 pages at 16pt Times New Roman in Microsoft Word

While rewriting and adding new stuff, expect updates to become very scarce - one or two chapters per month at best. I hope you can keep s...

Chapter 109 - Guardian of the Soil

"You want me to ask one of those who killed my mother for help?!" Turning to Senka, I raise my voice angrily. Everyone stops what they are doing and stare at me with baffled expressions, but I ignore them.

"I guess you haven't been paying attention in mythology class." The doll girl stays calm and responds without looking at me. She gestures for the maids to return to the center of the courtyard...
