Collections, and stuff.

Ok, after taking like... two hours to find something I wrote a few months ago, and being unable to find it, I've decided to take all day today to organize my works.

I will make a library/collection for each piece I have here.

Tags are fun and all, but we need a better system.

UPDATE # 1

Collections Created For:

  • Avatar: Cold Paths.

Quick Update.

Just a quick post to let everybody know that CH 21 and 22 are coming tomorrow. I wanted to post them today, but couldn't finish them, my wife kidnapped me for a date, using the two things I can't never say no to.

Food and Drinks.

Anyways. I'll be posting tomorrow, around 3-6 PM, on PT time. Love you all.

[Escarot POV.]

I had won.

I stood there, watching the last embers of my final attack fade into the air, the scent of scorched earth and burnt flesh filling my nose. The battlefield was silent now. Just me, the wind, and the aftermath of my first real kills.

I flexed my hands, rolling my shoulders. Surge had done its job. I ha...

The wind was still.

Sometimes, it almost felt as if the planet was alive. As if it could feel like something bad was going to happen.

I had trained with Nail this last week, non-stop. And I had grown stronger… but, there was only so much it could be done in a week. 

Nevertheless, I was stronger, and that’s all th...

I could feel him.

My brother.

The scourge of Namek.

Slug was close.

I could feel his energy, nearing… festering wound in the air—foul, oppressive, drenched in absolute malice. It twisted through the currents of the universe like a storm on the horizon, drawing nearer with each passing day...

Garlik was not a fighter.

He never had been, and I doubted he ever wanted to be. I had tried to push him to train, to become stronger with Okara and me, but he didn’t really like it, but that didn’t mean he had to stay weak.

Which is why, after weeks of putting it off, I finally decided to drag his ass to Guru.

The Third Wish.

I was starving.

Which, considering I had just spent the last six hours getting my ass handed to me by Nail, wasn’t surprising. Training was brutal, even more so now that he wasn’t holding back as much. Every punch felt like getting hit with a damn spaceship.

Still, I couldn’t complain. I was getting stronger. And th...

DBZ: Escarot

Hello my sexy readers. This just a quick post to announce I have commissioned an artist to draw Escarot as he is currently.


For reference these are some of the pieces the artist has made.

[Escarot POV.]

I began experimenting with Ki after my training with Nail. In what little free time I had.

I had multiple reasons to do this, but mainly… I wanted to have an Ace under my sleeve, in case Slug was more than we could handle straight up. 

So here I was, experimenting.

If Ki was energy, and it flowed as su...

Guru had told me a great threat was coming.

A Namekian long banished; the great evil of Namek, Slug.

A Namekian whose power, according to Guru, far surpassed Nail’s.

That alone was concerning.

But what really got to me?

That name hit me like a punch to the gut. I knew who t...

Three weeks.

That’s how long I’d been gone.

Three weeks since I left Okara and Garlik behind on this tiny island. Three weeks training with Nail, learning how to sense ki, control my energy, and most importantly—how to suppress my power.

And now, finally, I was back. Mostly because I didn’t want my s...

[Escarot POV.]

Two weeks had passed since I made my wishes. And one week since Nail reluctantly agreed to train me.

Not out of kindness, obviously. He still didn’t trust me. But he trusted Guru, and Guru had kindly asked him to teach me. That alone was enough to make him take on the role of my instructor, even if I could tell he wasn’t happy ab...

DBZ: POLL

How strong do you think Lord Slug is?

Since Goku had to use the False Super Saiyan form to overpower Lord Slug, we can confidently say that Slug was weaker than Frieza. But the real question is—by how much?

Some people claim that Goku used Kaioken x100 against Slug, but according to Kanzenshuu f...

“You have much to face ahead of you, child, so let me help you.”

Guru’s massive hand rested on my head again, his palm practically covering my entire skull.

Realizing he was about to unlock some of my hidden potential, I stepped forward—a little too eager, at that.

After forty days of travel, I arrived at Namek, my pod cutting through the atmosphere like a meteor before slamming into the ground with a heavy, sound-shattering thud.


The impact kicked up dust and cracked the earth beneath me. A second later, the pod’s hatch hissed open, the stale, recycled air inside rushing ...

Space travel was… not what I had expected.

But the truth was, it wasn’t.

At first, yeah, it had been very exciting. Leaving Planet Vegeta,...

The very next morning, I made my way to the deployment area. It was my first time seeing the place, and it was as chaotic as I had expected. Maybe even worse.

Saiyans were coming and going, some stepping into their ball-shaped ships, others returning from missions, covered in bruises and blood, grinning like lunatics. The air reeked ...

Beerus exhaled through his nose, still pretending like me asking for an autograph was some kind of massive inconvenience for him. His tail flicked lazily behind him, and he waved a hand dismissively.

“Hmph. I suppose I could grant you such a request,” he said, his voice dripping with fake indifference. “After all,...

[Escarot POV.]

I had lost count of how many times I had transformed by now.

It had been weeks now. Weeks without rest. Weeks where the instructors would use the Power Ball, forcing me to change, forcing me to lose myself to the mindless rage of Ozaru, over and over again. Each time I woke up, I was more exhausted than before.

[Escarot POV]

Saiyans had a very loose interpretation of the word; training. By now, it had been a month since I stepped out of the pod, and I had come to realize that for Saiyans “training” was more along the lines of throwing someone into the deep end of a river and seeing if they could swim.

If they couldn’t? Well… t...
