Place: Private lounge, Wintersleep Hotel
Time: Hours after Makol's announcement (Dungeon finding)
After a lively discussion, only murmurs and whispers would now permeate the private lounge with the occasional hastily scratching of fountain pens on paper and equally hurriedly turning of pages.
It became a place of study, though one that reminded every student from Earth of a phase shortly before t...
2024-06-13 17:56:27 +0000 UTC View PostAuthor's Note: You know what I hate? Children who don't wash their hands and make me sick. After a week with my family, where I slept on an air mattress (fun times, (sarcastically)) and played the babysitter (not bad, actually), I am also sick now (hate it). So, if everything doesn't fit, know to write an E-Mail to my cousins and complain to them. No, but honestly, sorry for the recent delays. I am fully in and have even my extra chapter halfway done :)...
2024-06-10 19:35:22 +0000 UTC View PostAuthor's Note: Sorry for the delay! German trains aren't as efficient as you think. When I drove home, I was stuck in some village, waiting three hours without internet. Fun times! However, I think I edited this chapter well enough.
Oh yeah, the next chapter should come out tomorrow morning, and then as usual. It was a little delayed because I was visiting my family.
No cheat sheet this time! 2024-06-08 17:52:30 +0000 UTC View Post
Author's Note: I am a little late for two reasons: I am not at home and babysit my cousins. Thus, I need a little bit more time for this chapter. The next one may also be a little later.
Don't worry, though. I have a solution since they were quite annoying. I put them inside a closet, but they became louder for some reason, always screaming dumb things like they wanted to eat or drink—a bunch of losers.
Ah, right...
2024-06-04 22:19:33 +0000 UTC View PostAuthor's Note: Trying to bring more appropriate timed humor into the story :) Hopefully, it will not ruin the more serious moments. Funny enough, I read a book about how to be funny, feeling like a moron that I need to read something like that. Other than that, I am writing it while not at home, so it could be edited a bit too little. I am writing with a keyboard on my lap and on a mac. I don't even know why, but ctrl+c/ctrl+v does not work for some reason, making it far more challenging ...

From Scarlett J. Leonandra to Lili Leonandra
Hello dear Lili,
Thank you for acting so quickly and sending me the update about Alex. I didn't expect such a thing to happen, and while at it, you also did a great job sending me everything Alex had created and researched about.
There are genuinely some gems there, like the blueprint for the book press, but th...

Wintersleep Hotel, Private Lounge, Early Morning
Alexander strolled through the room, his tail happily waving from side to side, with his retainers behind him, either angry, sad, anxious, or something in between.
He became slightly nostalgic, remembering when his Father consoled him after his Mother and sister screamed at him. He told him that women were like the weather, and sometimes, one should put on war...

Pudding-Dog-Island / Whirl-Uru Island, Somewhere in the Essence Alliance Part
Two shadows glided and jumped from tent to tent in the evening after the sun had disappeared over the mountains for hours. They avoided the already drunk and relaxed soldiers, who were either chatting, flirting, getting high, gambling, or everything simultaneously, having a great time. This three-dozen-strong outpost looked more like an open-air tavern than a ...

Wolfsteeth, Southern District, Lousy Louse Luise's Lounge, Weeks after the encounter (fight) with Quill
Inside a dark and dirty bar sat a night-elf, drinking cheap and stale beer, having the fancy taste called drowning rat, and thinking about what had gone wrong two weeks ago. The light from the half-broken chandelier and crocked candles lit up the dirt, scaring away the special of the day they served occasionally. Ev...
2024-05-11 22:01:37 +0000 UTC View PostAuthor's Note: This is just a small reminder that .5 Chapters are not on the same timeframe as whole-numbered chapters! Those here allow me to complete/explain certain things without blowing up the main story again. I need the damn main story moving so I can enter the next part of the main story as fast as possible. I have too much content to go through.
Also, the next chapter is in a couple of hours :)

Private Lounge, Wintersleep Hotel, Wolfsteeth
Seeing all of Alexander's guests starting to read his plan, he waved his hand, letting a chair float toward him. While he didn't need to use such a gesture, it was feedback others required so they wouldn't be too disturbed by the alchemy or magic appearing around them.
As the chair floated toward him, he took his blazer off, letting it float toward Cloelle, one of his maid...

A Week Later, Wintersleep Hotel, Private Lounge, Wolfsteeth
Inside the Wintersleep hotel, a small and private lounge on the third floor, with a well-equipped bar, was bustling with numerous guests as they talked and interacted with each other while eating or drinking. After a while, their conversations became more boisterous as they opened up more. It was relaxed, especially since most knew each other somehow, making it easy to net...

Before someone writes me another essay, I want to clarify something: I am explicitly trying to avoid current conflicts or references to them in any way. Should they sound the same or be close, then it just means that conflicts like this have happened probably over the history of mankind more than often. However, I am happy to discuss ...

Prison, Copper House, Wolfsteeth
After saying goodbye to Helena, the proud fire-djinn, Alexander had much to digest. What was race, and how should he, as someone from Earth and a highly liberal society, react to such illiberal conduct from an ethical and practical perspective?
From an ethical standpoint, he didn't need to, and it even fit. Fortunately, because he was a canine-kin, his stance, and confusion we...

Inside An Alley in the Northern District
Inside an alley, the sound of metal crashing into brittle adobe walls, cracking them, resounded as splinters flew around, hitting the participants of their stand-off.
The alley was dirty and packed with crates and boxes used as trash cans and compost containers by the locality. However, the fight between the three individuals around the place frightened the smaller local p...

The screams didn't stop. They kept going—shrill, deep, frustrating, and disturbing. Saliva flew around like droplets of dew in the morning after rain, the charming earthy smell replaced with an atrocious stench that even lower-class folks would be ashamed to have. It made Alexander reflect, something he didn't even do while getting gutted by Green, but now he regretted all his life choices and thought it all started by making paper, triggering his motivation.

Days later, Alexander's Office, Copper Courthouse, Wolfsteeth
A space devoid of any semblance of joy and happiness, its very air heavy with the weight of dread and sorrow. It was a place where dreams came to die, a place that once held the promise of changing the world, at least for one specific golden-eyed boy, who was being slowly squeezed out of his determined spirit after he entered through the doors.

Dear Patty,
I may call you like this, right? Since we may be Alex's wives in the future, but real, not metaphorical, though, like you mentioned. It should be fine, and you may call me Em's! I always wanted to have a nickname, but sadly, my name is kind of too short. But I like Em's. Do you like it, too?
However, let's ignore the nicknames for now ...

Inside the Copper House, the entrance
"Hello..." Alexander raised an eyebrow, "...there?"
The moment he entered the courthouse, he was overwhelmed by its underwhelmness, an impression he didn't know existed. Even though the appearance from the outside was as basic as possible, the inside was even more so. This experience reminded him of the recursiveness of blandness, but this changed quickly the closer he looked around. 2024-04-05 18:33:10 +0000 UTC View Post

30 minutes later, inside the carriage
Alexander sat inside the carriage, leaning against the curtains, his face pressed against the soft fabric. He looked blankly through a small gap outside, trying to regain all the stamina he had drained after having his first appearance in Wolfsteeth.
However, even though mentally tired, he couldn't stop thinking about what had happened, making him mumble, "What did I do?"
