Randidly coughed lightly as he stood with Zauna and Salazar, arrayed below Lady Iellaya’s command tower with the rest of the marshaled forces of Aether. Due to the impending attack from the Nether King and its forces, almost all of the soldiers currently stationed on the frontlines were called back from league. At the momen...

Randidly was surprised to find that Vualla wasn’t at her tent when he visited and scratched the back of his neck awkwardly. Well, it’s not like I expected her to wait around for my call after we kissed, but still… doesn’t she still need rest? She’s more of a training maniac than I am.

Shrugging, Rand...

Without giving Randidly much of a time to cope with the obvious relish in Ileot’s voice, Ileot lightly pounded his chest with a fist and gave Randidly a look that was heavy with fake pity. “If I’m being honest… I wish it would not have come to this point. The situation is more complicated than you can imagine…...

Anyway, these are the promised chapters for this week (technically because I haven't slept since waking up at 5 AM in Japan on Sunday) and tomorrow will start next weeks chapters.

Randidly lifted his chin at the tone in Ileot’s voice when he said ‘business’ but he didn’t comment. He was too busy struggling with the rising tide of excitement that had surged forward as Ileot so readily stated that he would tell the story of Vuall...

Hours later, still mildly tipsy from the excitement of the encounter. Randidly studied the note that Abiodun had given to him while he stood at the open flaps to his tent. Although the content was vague, it did a lot to cool Randidly’s outlook for the day.

I think it’s time we talk. Meet me below the Great ...

Thank you everyone for your patience. It's been a bit hectic while in Japan...

Rather than my usual chapters, I was writing here by word count, so I think it might only end up being 8 chapters. Posting three now, hopefully two more tonight, and then three tomorrow.

Just wanted a quick check in. I had wanted to get two more chapters out before my travel day, but that's life.

Anyway, including the two I owe from Saturday, there will be 10 chapters this week. I just have no idea when they will be out either by time or day.

its 2:37 pm in Tokyo rn. On Monday.  I woke up at 4:30 am Sunday xD.

My editor told me I'm cruel. And yea, this one hurt a bit, even while doing it.

 

Randidly glanced sideways at Vualla, then looked at the grave in front of them. He shifted from foot to foot, wondering what to say to the lovely and exhausted woman next to him. But then the Grim Chimera stirred inside of hi...

Let's start slow. Tonight is gonna get heavy.

 

Of all the abrupt changes that Randidly had experienced in the world of the Nexus, it was the sensation of having reached 1000 with his Agility that was the most pleasurable. Nether Beasts roared and charged toward him, but Randidly could calmly use his Agili...

Hey, no chapters today.

Just didn't like what I wrote. Tomorrow is finally when I wanted to focus on Vualla, but I want it to be perfect.

Anyways, I'll get them out tomorrow. Probably also put out some on Saturday to make up.

Despite Randidly’s worries, it seemed that things had been relatively peaceful in the Soulskill. Under the Monster Prince’s guidance, it seemed that the denizens of Randidly’s old Soulskill were almost entirely integrated, at least theoretically, into their new home country of the Shelly Kingdom.

Of course, the first real order of business for Randidly Ghosthound was a nap. In more ways than he could count, he was drained to the limits of his endurance. So a long nap, one that finally allowed Randidly’s physical body to rest and settle back toward equilibrium.

Because he had not been able to take e...

One fact that immediately jumped out to Randidly was the fact that Nether Beasts counted toward experience. A significant amount of it. Which put into question some of Randidly’s theories about how experienced was gathered.

Killing them today on the battlefield with Absolute Grasp of Yggdrasil had earned h...

As the ground vibrated and buzzed around them, the combination of Randidly, Lady Iellaya, and Abiodun quickly ended the Nether offensive. Yet by the end of it, Randidly was gri...

No chapters today.

Partially because there are so many plots that need to be explored, partially because I was doing errands before I leave the country next week, partially because I wanted to do some Nexus Paths stuff while I was thinking about it...

Anyway, back tomorrow. Aiming for another week that I get to my target word/page count.

Once Randidly really thought about Nether’s Caress, he had a whole host of questions. But he also had one very tempting idea that sprung out of his musings.

Why not use the portal to return to his body and surprise Lord Miln by breaking out of the suppression pod?

Of course, this idea had to be swif...

Randidly’s jaw dropped. That… that man is actually empowering his image directly with Aether!

“Lightning Blast!” Ezekiel yelled. A bolt of cobalt electricity forked out of his hand and smashed into the chest of a Bloodbeast Wolf that hopped out of the nearby treeline with gnashing jaws.

Ezekiel sat completely still and savored the feeling of the shade of a wide oak tree against his skin and his back pressed against the pitted bark of the trunk. Those sensations helped separate him from what he was here for. Below him on a low hill was a rather quaint looking log cabin with smoke wafting upward fr...

No chapters today. Better to take the break Monday and give myself another day to sleep than force it and worry about writing messy chapters again.  Plus we are now moving toward the second and much more reveal heavy part of the battlefields arc. 

Oh, also, I'll be able to do a session with the Saturday Peeps for Nexus Paths this week. I don't want to travel again next weekend. I need to get two solid weeks of over 10 chapters out.
