Ch245-What’s Worse Than A Demon?
-
-
It was important to remain calm and collected.
That Faust was as cool as a cucumber was extremely fortunate because Sylver wasn’t certain he would have had the capacity to deal with someone panicking right now.
The number one priority was preventing the demon from fully forming the portal.
Because if th...

Ch244-Bloody Cubes
-

Without the thrall’s shadow to hold him up, Sylver began to fall toward the liquid floor. Getting caught in it wouldn’t necessarily be the end of the world, it wasn’t indestructible, but every second he wasted fighting this vampire was an extra second the demon had to come into this realm.
Even if it did catch Sylver, the red ...

They moved in a swarm, a tsunami of hissing, pale-faced, vampires.
With this much open space, there wasn’t a whole lot Sylver could do, going airborne would be suicide, and digging underground wasn’t possible since the “ground” was Tuli’s flesh, which only left him trying to go throughthem.
Granted, ...

Ch242-The story so far
There's no new information in this "chapter" just a rough recap of what happened until chapter 242. You won't miss out on anything by skipping it.
You can read the next chapter HERE

There will be a "recap" chapter up in a few minutes, followed by a new chapter.
And the plan is a 4K chapter every 2nd day, but we'll see how it goes.
Oh, and if you're reading this, thanks for sticking around for so long!

You may have noticed that February is almost finished, with a sum total of 0 chapters to show for it.
Some stuff happened/is happening, that isn't too great, but it will be over soon enough.
Patreon billing is paused until April, but I plan/hope I'll be posting chapters during March.

I think you can see where this is going, Patreon is paused until March, while I try to do what I said I would do in January.

It is with a heavy heart that I must tell you all that my vacation is over, and I will now need to get off my ass and get back to work.
I'm going to start publishing chapters but the Patreon will remain paused until February. The plan is to slowly get back into the groove of writing during January, and have a consistent schedule figured out by February.
That's about it.

Hey, been a while.
Going to be another while though.
Patreon will be paused until January, so I can come into 2023 more rested than I've ever been.
I'm still alive btw.

TLDR: Patreon billing will paused until December.
Some of you may have noticed the last couple months haven't been great in terms of chapters being posted. Which is kind of funny considering in the last announcement I said October was the month I turn things around.
Long story short: I'm tired, and I need a break.
I'm pretty sure this is called being burnt out, but I feel like...

While Sophia and her lot prepared for prayer, Sylver sat on top of a nearby tree and looked over his skills.

In terms of power, speed, and range, a spell can be in 2 circles, but not all 3.
A powerful spell will be slow, but it may have a giant range, or it might be quick, but with a small range.
A fast spell can be either strong and short-ranged, or weak and long-ranged.
But a spell cannot be long-range, powerfu...

Sylver turned the card around, but to his surprise, the back was still blank.
He turned it around again and read the words one more time.
‘Please leave me alone.’
He checked the back just in case there was something on there.
Then he turned it around again, and read the words written on it.

As far as makeshift explosives went, this was pretty good.

When Edmund made a “bomb,” it’s more accurate to describe it as a delayed disintegration spell. Ph...

Good news first, word count wise this month was better than the previous month, but still nowhere near as high as I want it to be.

The gold-trimmed carriage moved with a smoothness that shouldn’t have been possible on such a bumpy road.

“Can you talk?” Edmund asked.
The question was partially literal in this case since Sylver’s body was currently floating in a large glass vat filled with a glowing blue liquid. A large pipe was sticking out of his left shoulder blade, into which a shade was slowly feeding a paper-thin purple tinted thread.
8 days had...

On the bright side, if you can call it that, I'm somewhat getting used to having my electricity randomly cut. It's still literal hell when it's 40 degrees Celsius and I can't turn on the air conditioner, but I no longer feel like I'm about to pass out.

“I’ll talk first, my story is shorter,” Edmund said, as he gestured for Sylver to take a seat on his coffin.
The sun reflected off the glass floor and burned away layer upon layer of Sylver’s shadowy skin. Small pieces came off in wisps of black and disintegrated as they fell, without ever reaching the floor.

He could see the same was happening to the other remaining mountains, the blood was enve...

As far as matchups went, this was utter dogshit.

Their weapons are mainly blades, swords, daggers, ...

“I’d like to hear it again. Everything. From the start,” Sylver said, for the 6th time.
Aurick took a deep breath before he started telling Sylver the same story for the 6th time.
Sylver was carving a path into the stone ground, as he paced in a circle around Aurick, while the boy was sitting on a stone chair.
