Chapter 126 - Assault On The Bertha

Note : I'm starting to have serious issues with patreon. The site keeps breaking down, half of its features are failing, and now it only posts a third of the chapters I'm setting up in advance, forcing me to manually get them online. I'm starting to really tire of having to fight this incompetent site every damned day, so I'm starting to consider alternative solutions. Possibly delivering the rewards through discord, I don't know. We'll see.

Also I had a blast writing that fight scene, ...

"Yeah!" Yelled out Pyn, pumping her fist into the air as the air was filled with the detonation of the gargantuan shell, and the prow of the battlecruiser came apart. "Excellent shot!"

"Thank you." Replied Crystal, before frowning. "Unfortunately, it's their turn now."

"What-oh." Pyn's face fell, and ...

Chapter 124 - Airborne Offensive

Note : Taking a bit of a pause in that frenetic pace of writing, so the daily patreon uploads are unlikely to last. I'm actually considering picking back up one of my old projects, the Riftmaker Saga. I'm only 12k words deep, but I believe it has potential. If nothing else, I need to be writing and thinking about other stories as well, otherwise I'll burn out. Or go crazy. Given how...problematic my irl is being, probably both. And not necessarily in that order. Also started a second playthro...

The facility core almost glitched as the wave of explosion threw its golems like ragdolls. So much for using them for the rest of its fight. It was amazed anything had even survived that.

"Please, make yourselves at home." Said Amelia as she stepped into the tent, which had been erected specifically for this purpose, with tables ladden with food and drink. No point in letting them see her actual headquarters or personal tent after all. Besides, it was far more comfortable than either, with built in climate control to boot. Not that either seemed to...

When the God of Fire had come back and caused the Dawn of the Flames, he had been thorough. Very thorough. He had deployed countless sensor platforms, and began a systemic purge of every advanced power source of the planet, only sparing a handful of locations like Gorromar from his wrath. When he had left ...

Well, at least in term of creature comforts. Where the hell has she found fucking ninjas to guard it? Or at least some kind of assassin!

"You stabilized it?!?"

"Yep!" Ella smiled, leaning back into her wheelchair. "Wasn't easy, but using some of the stuff recovered from the airships, plus experimenting with some of the Tarkian stuff you stole, I was able to make a stable explosive compound." She gestured at the stick on the table. "Pretty similar to dynamite, if more stable but less powerful."

February 2023 Status Report

Hello everyone. This month has been....horrible. For those of you who haven't read my author's notes on Royal road, allow me to put it simply : I was moving in to the new place I bought. Then my father went fucking crazy and had a fixation on having the attic remade. He ended up winning the debate with my family, somehow, convincing my mother to back him. Which ends up with me having to evacuate my new place for the workers to do their work. So, in summary, I just spent the last few days movi...

"So, do we have a deal?"

The merchant nodded wordlessly.

"Good, good." The smuggler sighed as he leaned back into his chair. Using one of his old contacts to make a deal with that Tarkian quartermaster had been a huge risk -the baroness was many things, but merciful was NOT one of them-, but it looked like it was going to pay off in the end. Big time. "So, in that case, I will arran...

Had to rush a bit to catch the person receiving the guns, but managed to ...

January 2023 Status Report

Hey everyone. Once again, I most definitely should have done this earlier. In fact I should probably have instituted monthly status reports to begin with.

Anyway, I'm sure you have noticed my lack of activity on patreon this month. For those of you who do not read my author's notes on RR, its due to a combination of factors. First and foremost my illness just won't stop. It's gotten less gut wrenching in the most litteral sense but I am still in constant pain. On top of that I managed t...

Hello everyone. I probably should have done this sooner, but here it is. You might have been wondering why I have been far less active these last few weeks, and a fair number of you probably haven't seen the author's notes on the RR chapters detailing why. To put it simply, I got sick. Really, really sick. I don't know what from exactly, but I basically got massive stomach issues, the kind that leave you bent over in pain. It was, needless to say, unpleasant and practically impossible to writ...
