Backrooms 3: Kiosk Kingdom - Chapter 54 - 56
Hey everyone! So here are three more chapters -- the final lull before the storm, so to speak. The rest of the chapters for book 3 are finished. I can post them tomorrow, if y'all want, but the catch is that once I post those, it'll probably be a few weeks before I post anything else, Discount Dan related.
I've got some ideas percolating for book 4, but I need to write a rough outline which usually takes at least a week. And then at least another week to get th...

Three new chapters coming at you! And if you're at DragonCon be sure to stop by the vendor hall and say hi! We're on the second floor (2822) in the back, and I'll be doing book signings all weekend!
Chapter Fifty-One – The Play Palace
We found the loot arcade just a few blocks past the Greasefall. It was flanked by a pair of Burger Barron restaurant and the flickering sign above the entrance read The Play Palace.

Hey everyone, we're onto a new level and I've got three chapters coming at you like a fastball to the teeth. Hope you enjoy the heck out of 'em.
In other news, I was talking with a couple of other authors (Michael Chatfield and Dakota Krout), who both have pretty successful Patreon platforms and they had some great suggestions I thought I'd run by y'all. Right now I only have a $2 tier and a $5 tier because I really didn't know what else to offer, and I don't wa...

Hey everyone! So Nilbog, made an excellent comment, asking why Dan would select the Cendral File to review, instead of reading the VRD report on humanity. It was a great point. Dan would absolutely be more interested to find out why the VRD were scooping up humans. So I rewrote the section. I'm not going to post the whole chapter, but here is the updated "Research Inquiry" documenting humanity instead.

Okay, I've got three more chapters coming at you. Also, I finally did some spreadsheet updates, Nilbog. You are 100% right, I accidentally applied the boost that should've gone to Toughness to Grit instead. I've already gone back and updated her sheet with the corrected values--good eye and good catch.

Hey, y'all! Been busy, busy, busy working on new Discount Dan chapters. I've got three new chapters coming at you. Hope you enjoy them. Also Nilbog, can you ask your question about Temperance again -- I know it's in one of the comments somewhere, but I can't remember where exactly. I've got some extra time today, so I'll get it answered for you!

Hey everyone! So this was originally one chapter. At just under 5K it was a little too long for a normal chapter, so I split it. But now the chapters are just a little on the short end, so I opted to post them together (they were done after all, so I figured why not). That's it for now. Hope you enjoy.

Chapter Twenty-Four – Stop, Fabricate and Listen
Nikoli left us to our work.
The forge roared low and steady, like a dragon breathing in its sleep. Runes danced across the walls, etched in flickering crimson light that didn’t cast shadows. Jakob headed toward the alchemy station, already muttering about ingredients under his bre...

Chapter Twenty-Three – Relic Forge
I introduced Ajax to Sinclair and gave my Cannon Fodder Minion a quick rundown on the new management arrangements, then left the two of them in the Arcade to plan and scheme while I headed out to round up the others. They were all loitering in front of the Arcade and Temperance still seemed like she was a hairsbreadth away from extreme violence. No real surprise there. “Ready for Extreme Violence” was practically Temp’s middle ...

Chapter Twenty-Two – Under New Management
After six hours of tossing and turning, I woke up feeling only slightly better than when I’d crashed. My stump still burned like a UTI, and overall I felt like I was coming off a rough hangover—head heavy, joints stiff, mood worse. Still, there was progress. The skin around the stump looked less raw, and the fingers, if you could call them that, resembled the early stages of actual limbs instead of five angry blisters.

Chapter Twenty-One – Fresh Horrors
I came to on the cold floor of the pharmacy, cheek pressed against the linoleum. My arm was a cauterized stump—angry, red-edged, and still smoking slightly.
Croc was beside me.
Chewing.
“What… What, are you doing?” I asked groggily.
The mimic looked up, slightly ashamed, sinew stuck in its teeth.
“Eating your hand?” The dog replied, equal parts question and answer. “Didn’t want it to go t...

Chapter Nineteen – The Jaral’s Offer
Wulfgar led us through the winding streets of Kringlegard at a brisk pace, cutting between houses and market stalls with the confidence of someone who knew exactly which alleys wouldn’t get you mugged. The villagers gave us a wide berth, some watching with open curiosity, others pretending not to notice the band of blood-streaked strangers following one of their top raiders like we were a particularly weird parade.

Each of the Yetis had a host of powerful Relics that would sell for a premium back at the store.

Chapter Seventeen – Into the Frying Pan
A guttural bark pierced the night, and they came at us in a mad rush. A stampede of fur and fangs barreled forward, kicking up powdery snow as they charged like an avalanche. They were massive, easily the size of the Kannibal Kids from the twenty-fourth floor, but beefier—thick with pale blue muscle beneath tangled white fur. They tore across the clearing on all fours, moving like oversized gorillas, snarling through twisted m...

After the last of the fireworks faded, we headed back to the store, and I slept for a solid eight hours, untroubled by nightmares or any dreams at all.
In the morning, we said our final goodbyes to Ed, then headed over to the now-abandoned Fireworks Kiosk. Tucked in the back, we found an exit door—only it didn’t lead out into the cornfields like it should’ve. Instead, it connected a narrow staircase that spiraled down, d...

Chapter Fourteen – Fireworks and Farewells
We cleared out a handful of Sunnysiders near a ranch style home not far from the kiosk, then set up shop on the driveway.
There was a grill out back, and after a thorough round of power-washing with Hydro Fracking Blast and Fluid Dynamics, I was confident it was safe enough to cook on. Anything that didn’t get blasted off by high-pressure water would get reduced to ash under the cleansing fire of open flame anyway. 2025-04-12 16:26:20 +0000 UTC View Post
Discount Dan Chapter 7 - Rewrite
Hey everyone, a bunch of the folks over on RoyalRoad didn't particularly like the way Dan handled the Brownie situation and after thinking about it for a bit, I realized they had some valid points. It felt like Dan was being stupid and trying to rush through the encounter instead of actually trying to help.
So I went back and revised that whole section in some ways that I think are pretty fun and will have a great payoff down the road. No need to reread this if...

I slipped past the arcane dome of protection and activated Spike Fault, this time calling up shafts of rocky stone directly beneath Uncle Sam’s feet. The Dweller howled as the earthen spears shredded his legs—one even driving right into his groin. I had no idea what Uncle Sam was packing down there, but I was pretty sure that had to hurt.
In the same instant, the timer on my Doppelganger Dan’s hit zero and they lurched into m...
