Hey guys,
Apologies for a double ping today, but I've set up a little Discord server as a bonus for Patreons. At the moment, it's just me and a few friends, so it's very quiet, but if you want to come along and have a chat, feel free to use this link. I look forward to saying hi!

2025-05-24 16:47:57 +0000 UTC View PostAs agreed, Glimpse pulled me out of storage first. I scanned around quickly. From my perspective, it had been late afternoon a moment ago. Now, the sun had set, and only a few rays of light lent the sky a purple tinge in the west.
“We’re clear?” I asked.
Yes, Ray, no one within three miles, and their scouts passed through here an hour ago on their way north. They won...
2025-05-23 22:48:18 +0000 UTC View Post“You want me to jump out of the cave?” Had she been so offended by my reaction to her stupid title that she now wanted me dead?
“Your body knows how to fly already, you Tribulation. You need to hunt before we can start on the dungeon. So off you hop!” She was standing on top of my head, her sword pointing out at what looked like a very long fall indeed.
... 2025-05-22 20:37:36 +0000 UTC View Post“It’s hot. Damn hot,” I muttered. “Is the boy ok?”
Fay looked up from the baby wrapped in fine, and most importantly, thin, linen sheets. She gave me a broad smile and winked.
“He’s of the steppes. We aren’t a soft people, Ray. Even our newborns are tougher than most shit-sitters!” she laughed. Fay shifted the baby from her hip a...
2025-05-21 21:08:09 +0000 UTC View Post“I’m a what?” I roared. And I have to admit I really could roar now. The sound bounced back from the distant walls, and I winced as I partially deafened myself. Bob, don’t be an idiot! I was struggling for perspective. You don’t realise how self-obsessed you are when it comes to comparisons until your body gets warped into a completely different ...
2025-05-20 20:34:32 +0000 UTC View Post“He’ll never drive the herds again,” Kril intoned solemnly. The old man made no gesture, but a series of flames rose up along Mune’s pyre. The dry wood quickly caught, and soon a fire was roaring to carry my friend to the warrior's moon.
“He needs to die, Ray,” Fay said quietly. “If you don’t want to, I will do it. We will have to tell the tribes th...
2025-05-19 21:20:34 +0000 UTC View PostWelcome to A Dragon Called Bob, I hope you enjoy.
===========================================================
You have died.
I’ve done what, now? Hold on a minute! I’m sure there must be some mistake! Is there any chance I could speak with a manager, please?
Assessing the spiritual balance of Rob...

Karma’s a bitch, and then you hoard.
Being isekai’d into the body of a dragon whose only task is to guard and grow a pile of shiny treasure seemed like a win to Bob. Flight, Might, Bite — and all it cost him was dying? Fair trade! There’s even a dungeon core as a bonus to his starting pile of treasure! The system claimed this was a downgrade from his human l...
2025-05-17 22:22:47 +0000 UTC View PostHey guys!
First of all, thanks so much for your support! You guys have made a huge difference to me, keeping me motivated and upbeat!
Six Souls Book 2 is coming to a close soon. Ray has a couple of dudes to kill before it closes out... You know who they are! And then the story will take a break for a couple of months.
In the meantime, I'm going to be launching another story wh...
2025-05-17 21:39:36 +0000 UTC View Post“Stop! He was only here because that asshole was holding me hostage!” Nakelin yelled at me as Gallagher struggled to stop her moving back around to interpose herself between us.
“Damn it!” Kos snarled from behind me. I glanced back at my brother-in-law, a high body stat clearly didn’t do much to stop getting kicked in the nuts from hurting.
I slid my visor back...
2025-05-16 22:00:51 +0000 UTC View PostWe stood and stared each other down. His body stat was SS, a hair higher than mine. He was a professional fighter who had spent years of his life building muscle memory and reflexes intended to let him win in melee combat. That was a disadvantage, in a way. Killing a man in the octagon was frowned upon, to put it mildly. He was trained to win, but I was trained to ...
2025-05-14 21:40:56 +0000 UTC View PostNormalis Humano x14 slain.
One hundred and forty Souls harvested.
“Get in the stone!” I ordered. The Fangs and our golems rushed to let Glimpse snatch them out of the world and into storage. I collapsed the corridor behind us with Shape Earth, burying half a dozen more of Mortimer’s minions.
Soulbound Servan...
2025-05-12 20:57:21 +0000 UTC View PostThe void gave out into a well-appointed living room that might be found in any middle-class home on Earth: settees, a big TV on the wall, bookshelves, everything you might expect in a typical home. I stumbled forward as the resistance of the barrier finally gave way and spat me out into Death’s domain.
“Ah, Ray. I’ve been expecting you, but then again, I expect everyone ...
2025-05-09 21:08:09 +0000 UTC View PostI appeared inside a dungeon cell. The air was rank with rot and filth. I looked up and nodded to Glimpse, who cawed quietly.
I don't like this plan, Raymond. It is too risky! He sent telepathically, pulling back the metal band I’d have been stored in for our flight.
“It’ll be fine, bloke, I’m hardly alone!” I whispered back.
The kill tea...
2025-05-07 20:44:19 +0000 UTC View PostGlimpse was orbiting above Urkash. The city was on a whole different scale to any that I’d seen before. There were two sets of walls. The outer walls towered a good fifteen metres tall and must have been four metres thick at the base. Huge blocks of stone, irregular in shape, had been laid together so carefully that I doubted I’d be able to find a single handhold if...
2025-05-05 20:48:07 +0000 UTC View Post“I’m going to let you out now. I trust we won’t have a repeat of yesterday?” I glared at my friends whom I’d left entombed in stone overnight. It was petty and mean, but I couldn’t help but feel somewhat bitter at them.
“We did what we had to do,” Jandak said stoically.
“You didn’t curse my nephew,” Kos added happily. “I really n...
2025-05-04 13:52:12 +0000 UTC View Post“Get out of my way,” I growled. The rest of the army had marched on. Only a handful of yurts and a single legion remained with us. Having a thousand giants and a few hundred nomads around me felt strangely lonely on the blistering-hot plain. A pained scream came from within the nearest tent, and I clenched my fists.
“It’s not done, ...
2025-05-02 22:02:28 +0000 UTC View PostPowtu had dealt with the other city, flanking our axis of advance, in a similar fashion to Janko and Herpatik. They had lost one trooper when the man stumbled into a high-level soulbound, but the rest had set fires, poisoned food, and dropped horrific things into the wells.
Two legions, the Sixth and the Ninth, had been dispatched to lay a half-hearted siege, and a thousand nomads accompa...
2025-04-30 20:28:31 +0000 UTC View PostJanko and Herpatik were infiltrating a city by night. Glimpse was watching over them, keeping low but occasionally rising up to give me a birds-eye view of the city. Like most ancient cities that didn’t have a coastal port, it was built along a river. It was likely a tributary of the Jerul that joined the main flow after it passed Settal.
The city itself was much the s...
2025-04-28 18:59:06 +0000 UTC View PostWith a thought, I sent Glimpse winging south to catch up with my kill team. As he passed overhead, I watched as the slave soldiers of Urkash were being hunted down by whooping nomads. They were leaving a long trail of blood and bodies behind as they ran.
I’d read somewhere that most of the killing in ancient battles took place after one side broke and ran. That truth w...
2025-04-25 20:49:10 +0000 UTC View PostWe left the wagons a few dozen miles north of the enemy fortifications. No point risking the noncombatants and the herds against the amalgams. We’d likely have to give ground while we whittled the monsters down enough to let the golems attack them from the inside.
Fodder for the animals was getting scarce. Thousands of Huskars and nomads consumed a substantial amount o...
2025-04-23 20:11:17 +0000 UTC View PostI was busily sketching out maps of the enemy positions based on the visuals I had received from Glimpse. Fay and I were alone in our tent. I glanced up and smiled as she stretched out on our fur-lined bed and rolled over to face me, head propped up on one fist, elbow sinking into the primitive mattress. I was proud of the invention, although spring-steel had recently climbed t...

Happy Easter if you celebrate it! Here's a bonus chapter!
Cheers!

=====================================================================
The scenery around us changed as we moved south; the land became drier and arid. The thick grasslands of the steppe gave way to barren expanses, tufts of dry grass clustering around scraggly-lookin...
2025-04-20 16:44:49 +0000 UTC View PostIt took nearly a week to organise, but we had sacked the town after six days. Naturally, the locals weren’t happy with us, but fear kept them in line. I had poured out Souls like water to bind the newly appointed council members, a few dozen more significant citizens, and the nearly three thousand artisans heading north under heavy escort to make Riverwheel a centre of learning an...
2025-04-18 19:37:06 +0000 UTC View PostGlimpse was taking a break. He’d been flying for hours. Between spying, providing overwatch for my assassination mission, and then during the battle against Ashrot, the crow had needed some time off. It’s no excuse for what happened, but it’s why I failed to react quickly enough to nip it in the bud.
I’d rushed over to Fay and the casters to check on them and was...
2025-04-16 21:07:32 +0000 UTC View PostI scooped up any small stones I could see as I went and stuffed them into a pouch on my right hip. I had about twenty of them before I drew to a stop by the coven and Kril, who were blasting away happily at the monster. A squad of my new mage-huskar stood to either side of them and unleashed the magic in their artefact weapons and armour before starting to cast spells with their own...
2025-04-14 18:27:56 +0000 UTC View PostI reached out and called Glimpse down to land on my shoulder. Ashrot was still oozing towards us. It moved surprisingly quickly for something that weighed thousands of tons, flowing across the ground, looking like an enormous grey slime mould, at the speed of a sprinting man. Only the speed of a normal man, though, and none of my troops were normal. At least none of the ...
2025-04-11 20:47:19 +0000 UTC View PostBeing barefoot didn’t usually bother me. I had spent most of my time out on the steppe with fresh air, clean grass and beautiful expanses of natural scenery. The occasional stone had long since stopped being a problem for me. Now I was slamming my way up stairs and corridors littered with my recent kills. Their blood was splashing up my legs and their bodies were being...
2025-04-09 21:42:50 +0000 UTC View PostI threw myself forwards and snatched my sword from its scabbard. The blade flicked out and one of this new type of monster fell back, leaving an arm behind. It still had three more so I was confident I hadn’t inconvenienced it too greatly. Three more of the things lunged towards me.
They were two bodies melted together. The legs were twice as thick as they should be and the ...
