(Hi, not going to say much but my current tooth problems actively make me desire to bash my head against a wall. A normal feeling I'm sure. --Realtalk, been literally too agonizing to write, but I squeezed this out through some ibuprofen and late night promise of blissful sleep.

His voice echoed through the realm and reverberated across the stars in a way that made them flicker. Except it came with none of the soul-shaking authority that demanded one to listen, so I wasn’t too worried.
I summoned an astral copy of my beanbag and sank, groaning as my limbs touched cloud-like softness. The annoyed god co...

“Indeed.” I glanced at the ceiling and saw the network of runes continue to change into a pink hue as it spread closer to the door. Line by line, it was falling under my control while adding to a growing static in my head.

In truth, the guards and the adventuring guild knew about it. From what Sereza learned, it was even accepted ...
Coming to a stop next to a food vendor’s stall, I casually flipped a few silver coins onto the table. The older man in blue garb looked up in surprise but quickly hid the emotion with a polite smile.
“That’s a lot of money, sir. Was there something specific you’d like to buy?” he asked with a friendly gesture toward the packages of salted meat.
I flashed a smile and leaned...

Bar residents in the coastal city of Soluve were stereotypical in their dress and activities. Drinks, bets, and fighting were all regulated but open to all. It was funny seeing what I thought looked like stereotypical pirate sailors shuffling around the dock. Humans made up the majority of the ship-dwellers, followed by aquatic beastkin. A smattering of elves and other races I didn’t recogniz...

Basically tldr for those who arent: I wrote a chap for Monday, but realized it felt better as the epilogue true end of b5, while I needed another chap in between.

I have the chapter that was supposed to come out down. But rereading it felt very unsatisfying? It settles things as is a good epilogue, but I realized I need one more chapter in between. So I am rushing to write and finish that today. I just need to get one final dramatic scene in to step back and close out b5. then we can move onward to timeskip and b6!
So TLDR: Chapter booted for Frid...

I tried to clear my throat, but the sharp stinging from my missing eye brought me low. As I swayed, a warm hand touched my cheek, soothing the pain. Through slow, fluttering blinks I regained my vision and stared at my hands as the cuts and blood seeped away.
“Thank you, I needed that,” I said.

In that moment, despite all the training engraved into Teddy over the years, he ignored the enemy and rushed to Arturous’s aid.
No. No. No!
The world turned grey and all but Teddy and the demon remained in my vision.
When I opened my eyes, an explosion of red and gold scarred my sight. It burned with power, more than light to affect my vision. The very imprint of the two ascended beings mana signature, the very impression of their will surged into my mind and boweled me over.
