Being electrocuted was an interesting experience.
Lexie let it happen, simply out of curiosity to see how it would impact her body. She knew she wouldn’t die from it, and she turned on <No Pain, But Gain> so that the pain wouldn’t completely immobilize her, but she was curious to see how strong the bolt would be.
Turned out–extremely strong.

“No.”
“I need to see your pathways while teleporting so I can copy the skill.”
“I know. That’s precisely why I’m not doing it.”
Lexie frowned, narrowing her eyes at Cecilia. “You know I can just make you.”
“Then make me.” A challenge glinted in Cecilia’s eyes. She was bolder as this was about the third time she’d called Lex...

“Okay, how about we start here?” she said. “Max, what exactly is out there that you're so scared of?”
He pursed his lips. “Zombies."

He was leaner than she remembered, with his near burgundy-colored hair falling in waves around his face, his beard overgrown. Instead of black, a pink eyepatch sat over his left eye. New scars appeared all over his face and leathery body, and he looked like he’d been sunburnt several times over.
But it was definitely Ma...
2025-10-16 23:46:39 +0000 UTC View PostLexie instantly flashed to where Little Fae was, but she was too late.
Little Fae was in Pvilycht's hands, amidst a small whirlpool of earth and wind that he'd created around himself as a barrier.
Ryn had her hand extended out, but she was stuck in place, like her feet couldn’t move.
She sent Lexie an alarmed look.

It was in the basement of a building he owned, and it was where he often met with his secret soldiers. The meeting today was one of the most important ones they would ever have.

It was a huge tentacled beast that had risen from the Earth when they’d triggered its trap. Ryn tried to explain exactly what the beast was, but Lexie ignored her.
It roared at them, sending its tentacles their way, but Lexie sliced almost all of them. She also leapt in the air while the creature sent more te...

So, there’s a surprise drop today, for the new book I mentioned I've been working on for a few months now (since after Book 2 of AOC)…
I was supposed to drop this two weeks ago, on my birthday weekend, but it didn’t feel quite ready yet and I still had to work out some kinks. Now, I’ve worked them out and I feel like I have enough of a backlog and enough plott...

“I don’t remember who that is,” Lexie said, which made the woman cry harder, as she brought her hand over her mouth.
“That’s okay,” she said, obviously...

Along with Ryn, she defeated fifty more levels and numerous other foes. Most of the levels had to do with puzzles, but there was also usually a violent component with Eldritch, or monsters, or swarms of trolls, or even humans participating in the stories.
Lexie was never sure whether these creatures were real or whether they were just figments of t...

Memories pushed to the forefront of her mind, bitter, yet addictive at the same...

When he showed up, he was crouched over the ground, his jaw distended as though he were about to eat something. When he looked up and saw Lexie was there again, he sighed in disappointment.
“I do not enjoy your timing, Princess,” the V’Sala said. 2025-10-01 22:48:43 +0000 UTC View Post
“I don’t know what any of those words mean,” Ryn answered in a deadpan voice. “Saint Hu-ah-na prep? Was that your spawn site? I didn’t know Eldritch could spawn in places like these. It does not look nearly haunted enough. In fact, in the first achta, there was a man named…”
