Bring on the Leisure! [Interlude I]
ToC: https://www.patreon.com/posts/98777693
Okay, this is the format that I'll take in writing this story. Ten chapters from Tallum, followed by an Interlude of indeterminate length. Patreon is being a really piece of shit about the formatting, so I'll keep the Status screens concise, just so I need to format less.
This intro arc has us ending on a rather soft note with our Leads, but thing...

Indigo, Green, and I have now been living in our new home for three days. There have been some minor hiccups… but largely, our laidback lifestyle is well-established.
Green caused the hiccups.
On the second day, when I explored the surroundings, Green was hungry and attacked one of the frogs. Green killed the Level 5 version rather easily, b...

Despite knowing I should continue fleeing, curiosity compelled me to turn around and listen to the bellowing. My eyesight was worse upon losing one of my left eyes, but I could still make out the form of the glowing golden paladin, striding through the demolished limbs which was the only sign this place had been briefly occupied by a monster army.

The three figures hurried away to their human business. The heavy wooden door, now barely visible without the glow of Mana all around, closed with a sonorous thunk.
In typical, very chill fashion(my current MO), as soon as the three humans left the laboratory, I staged a jail break.
Considering that our captors considered us bloodthirsty and e...

Put out the last teaser chunk today. Gonna switch gears and finish LoRG Epilogue.

I worried back and forth across the cage after that announcement, both because of the prospect of additional tests tomorrow, and because of the implication that other Chimera Cores had died overnight. Perhaps quite frequently.
All the tension ...

In battle, the situation develops very rapidly.
Claw cut brain.
Indigo arrived next to Green and prodded her with softened tentacles.
I oozed forward and flexed the ugly fingers of my desiccated mongoose claw. I was the spirit of bloody karma, arriving to collect my due.
Almost instantly after its brain was damaged, Sapphire’s mo...

The ease of the death of Orange suffocated me. Fuck, fuck, FUCK. If I make a mistake… I will die.

Because the story is first person, there will be interludes after every 10th chapter which will be from other character POVs. Otherwise, it's all Tallum all the time.
Today will be 4, 5, 6.

Hey all!
I've had a bit of a vacation finished sending off the next LoRG book, and am ready to get back into my old schedule.
Honestly, I've been sneaky writing for like two weeks. I had gone into the time after finishing LoRG with the intention of just not writing for most of February... but I started to get twitchy. Habit is a powerful thing.
Anyway, wanted to give y'all a bit of context for what happens next.
First, I've been doing some plotting for the LoRG epilogu...

Man. I can't believe I'm really here. I'll put some thoughts in an afterward, at the bottom.

Okay, spent today marathoning a lot of writing. Will post two today, want to reflect on a bit on the last few. Should be out by Friday~

Randidly flexed his fingers. For the moment, Pine seemed satisfied with his answer. So he let the vulnerable universe soul be and focused on the connections. He did his best to relax, because he needed to be sharp for this next bit.
His Nether seethed and spat in his veins, flowing faster and more thickly than it had ever...

We all understand my predictions about how long it would take me to end are comically bad, but SURELY we are so close to the end that they won't be so bad, right?
Right?!?

Randidly Ghosthound might have been deaf to Truth, but he could see the rejection in the small dog’s face as soon as he pronounced the universe worth saving.
Which was exactly what he had worried about, earlier. Randidly wouldn’t be able to do this alone.

Two today. Looking like 2455 will be the last chapter, with two epilogue chapters to follow. The goal was to finish before 2024, but that would mean tomorrow I write and edit three very long chapters...
Outlook not good xD. But we will see what tomorrow brings.
What Pine remembered most clearly from those early days...
