New Ogre Tyrant chapter is now live! Happy halloween!

I forgot about a shcheduled testing of the powergrid in my area (Related to the problems I was ahving before), and didn't get my editing done on time. But the chapter is now fully online instead of just a rough ly edited PDF.

I have decided not to aprticipate in the writathon thi time around. instead, I'm going to push to finish the final cdhapters of mana soul so I can focus soleely on Ogre Tyrant going forward.

I think I have mentioned this before, but a couple of people have a...

Ogre Tyrant: Chapter 53 - The darkest dungeon - Part Two

Watching the living statue slowly draw closer, I hissed in irritation at the reminder that our plan essentially boiled down to hitting it until it stopped moving. The living statue was too dangerous for Humans and Kobolds to fight directly, and the Boarmen were still too much of an unknown to risk as my support in melee.

Ushu was incredibly keen on a rematch. However, the limited effectiveness of his attacks...

Ogre Tyrant: Chapter 53 - The darkest dungeon - Part One

With the capitulation and successful recruitment of the Redmane, Bluemane, and Yellowmane chieftains, the chieftains were sent back to their tribes with the original envoys. Given orders to recruit their tribesmen and lead them back to the new Boarman capital, Hamburg, the chieftains were also ordered to extend invitations to the other chieftains in their respective areas of influence.

The conservative expec...

Ogre Tyrant: Chapter 52 - Pacts with Patrons - Part Two

The remainder of the Conquest passed uneventfully. However, Clarice had begun interrogating the Warlocks for details on the different powers granted by their Patrons through the Manifestation Ability. I had known from the beginning that she would begin gunning for the Warlocks the moment we discovered sufficiently intelligent Beasts. Whether it was because of their Intelligence or nature as Variants was still uncle...

Ogre Tyrant Update - Oct 18th

Just letting everyone know that the next chapter should be released later today.

I got delayed a little due to work being done on the electrical grid, but mostly the delay was because I was finishing a Mana Soul chapter. There are only four more of those to go, and they are the comparatively easy ones to write, so I don't expect that to be an issue going forward.

This week, in addition to releasing this chapter today, I will be aiming to complete two more chapters for Ogre Tyran...

Ogre Tyrant: Chapter 52 - Pacts with Patrons - Part One

Daemonhost. It sounded markedly more ominous than Warlock despite the core similarities in their Class Abilities. Technically, Ushu was a Swamp Dragon Daemonhost but I hadn’t noticed anything, in particular, that was influenced by Ushu’s environmental Evolution or Species.

All the same, the Abilities themselves were as curious as they were disconcerting.

Daemonic Manifestation was a more specific ve...

Back from my 1 week break

I probably should have used a date when I stated I was taking 1 week off.  This weekend is is my intended return date.  So the chapter will be uloaded before the weekend is out.

I saw a couple of comments wondering about the schedule, so I figured I should probably say something, even if it is only a couple of days in difference at this point.

The goal is to release on the weekend each week, Sometimes I take a little longer and release on my monday or tuesday, but gene...

Ogre Tyrant: Chapter 51 - Cooperation is key - Part Two

Massaging my bony brow to alleviate some of the accumulated tension, I still found that I couldn’t help myself from smiling in satisfaction.

Contrary to my initial expectations and understanding, the local alphabet was mostly comparable to a crude system of braille. The epiphany had required sitting in on four separate instruction sessions covering the exact same lessons before something clicked and I was a...

Ogre Tyrant Update

Editting the next chapter right now, so it will be uploaded shortly.

Had an issue with the electrical grid in my area this week. It might be fixed, it might not be. The council workers didn't seem to know what the problem was to begin with so....<,< yeah.

As those on the discord already know, we have more concept art coming soon. The characters will be depicted as they are now-ish in the current stage of the story. So gric would be a weird green elf man rather than Baron Vo...

Ogre Tyrant: Chapter 51 - Cooperation is key - Part One

The sky was beginning to darken as the large and incomplete curtain walls appeared in the distance. Practically swarming with dark humanoid figures, it wasn’t until the battalion drew closer that I began to make out the squat tower in the centre of the incomplete defences.

However, the arrival of the battalion generated a similar reaction to kicking over an anthill. Warhorns, feral screams and discordant sh...

Ogre Tyrant: Chapter 50 - A cultural exchange - Part Two

It was close to midnight by the time we arrived at the former Guild foothold, and the Kobolds had burned through their entire stockpile of food and water in order to maintain their breakneck pace.

I suspected that the push had initially been made out of fear of disappointing me in some way. However, once the Settlement’s barrier had been spotted in the distance, it seemed like it was all the chief could ma...

Chapter's almost done.

Writers block can be so wierd.

Oh well, chapter's almost finished. I expect it to be finished by this evening my time and should be making headway on the next chapter afterward.

Your patience is appreciated.

Ogre Tyrant: Chapter 50 - A cultural exchange - Part One

Strictly speaking, the war council was an autonomous action of the Kingdom of Asrus Faction. However, deliberately missing a vassal’s war council when I could otherwise easily attend said meeting seemed like it would be asking for trouble.

I recognised many of the Asrusian officers and nobles from the last gathering, but there were new faces as well. It wasn’t particularly surprising given the nature of ...

Ogre Tyrant: Chapter 19 - To be determined - Part Two {Rewrite}

When the Deep Orcs saw the human soldiers headed towards them, they didn’t run as Lash had expected they would. Instead, champions broke from their ranks and charged towards the soldiers.

For all their eagerness, the soldiers weren’t stupid. They formed ranks and collectively met the charging Deep Orcs with a densely packed wall of spears and shields.

Seemingly obsessed with making contact w...

Patrolling the refugee column, Emelia kept a wary eye on the swamplands around them. Thanks to the Wards supplied by the Goblin Shamans and Ushu, there was minimal risk of a wild monster sneaking up on them. However, the Wards did nothing to stop the attempted ambushes by the enemy Deep Orcs.

In spite of reaching the swamplands ahead of the Deep Orc fleet that had pursued them, there were still Deep O...

Realising that perhaps Toofy had thought Ril had been killed, I could only imagine what she must have felt upon seeing her awake again.

[Ril - HP: 7/20 - Bloodied ] [Tim - HP: 34/44 - Normal ]

Grimacing a little as I looked at the party status, I was relieved and a little surprised to find that I no longer had the bleeding condition. My thumb was throbbing awfully, but it wasn’t bl...

“I’ll tell you anything you want to know!” The Angel whined fearfully, attempting to recoil away but rendered incapable of doing so by Gric’s iron grip upon his arms.

“What did you do to her!” I snarled, pointing a trembling finger at Lash who was still comatose on the floor.

The Angel gulped hard, “I-I cast Judgement on her...” He stammered as if that answered the qu...

Tobi gripped the handle of his borrowed bow tight and drew another arrow, “Hail Shot,” he mumbled, drawing back the bowstring and loosing the arrow. The moment the arrow left the bow, two slightly smaller arrows shimmered into being on either side of the first and sped towards their intended target. “Sure Shot!” Tobi muttered, nearly gasping as he felt the sudden surge of weakness wash through his ...

With a wry smile on my lips, I realised that I should have known better. Toofy’s Class and Class Abilities were literally designed for this.

[(Class Ability: Treasure Sense): Detects and highlights items of value within a predetermined range. {Intelligence} increases range.]

[(Class Ability: Storage 8): Allows items to be stored in an extra-dimensional space. Stored items weigh nothing and do...

Watching the soldiers leave, I motioned to Lash that we should head back. I was still pissed at her for biting me, but now wasn’t the time for talking it out. We had an armed force on our doorstep and measures would need to be taken to make sure our people were kept safe.

I was actually quite surprised at how reasonable the army officer had been. There was always the possibility that he was putti...

Ogre Tyrant: Chapter 16 - Bonds of friendship - Part One {Rewrite}

Watching Lash pin and latch the Slave Collar around the Swamp Lurker’s neck all on her own, I was reminded that she was a great deal more flexible than I am and a great deal more reckless. She had stripped her armour before making the attempt, but her furtive glances in my direction made her motives questionable.

“You did it,” I confirmed after quickly checking Lash’s Status, “You should be able to unlock...

Ogre Tyrant: Chapter 15 - Wrestling with emotions - Part Two {Rewrite}

I had thought that using a spear would be a smart decision. Increasing the distance I could strike at an enemy before they had the chance to return the favour had seemed like an obvious choice. Unfortunately, it seemed to require far more skill and practice than I had realised. It also required more hand-eye coordination than I could muster, so I felt few regrets in swapping back to the cruder mornin...

Ogre Tyrant: Chapter 15 - Wrestling with emotions - Part One {Rewrite}

Watching Clarice and Lash fight was almost too painful to justify letting it continue. Lash was easily around eight feet tall and her biceps were thicker than Clarice’s thighs. Her superior reach proved to be a nightmare for Clarice’s attempts at closing in order to go on the offensive. Furthermore, without the Synergies to level the playing field, Clarice was unable to land a blow hard enough to...

“Are you alright?” Hana asked a little awkwardly after catching up to me.

I shrugged and shook my head with a soft snort, “I honestly don’t know,” I admitted, “I know they are heading into danger, but a part of me is disappointed at being left behind.”

Hana nodded but said nothing.

“I guess I am just worried about them. The swamp is no joke and I honestly doubt the river ...

I just stared at Gric incredulously for a while, trying to reorganise my thoughts. It couldn’t be that easy...

“Lord?” Gric asked worriedly.

With one simple act, I could unlock a Master level Class and be rid of Slaver.

According to Gric, all I had to do...was issue a quest. As the Daemon had explained it, I was apparently just shy of unlocking a Rulership Master Class that was onl...

After lunch, I continued teaching Nadine and our students while keeping a close eye on our patients.

As I had suspected, EXP was awarded for every degree of severity reduced from an illness and most of the Serpent-Kin were now entirely cured, with only the most seriously ill now remaining bedridden.

Unsurprisingly, most of those who had recovered were now very interested in learning to b...

Pushing myself up off the ground, I slowly began walking away from the Grove, taking long deep breaths to remain focused on the present. That momentary slip in control had shaken me to my core.

So far as I was aware, that had been the first manastone I had ever consumed. However, reflecting on the sensation, the experience felt disturbingly familiar. I had taken addictive medication before, bu...

Ogre Tyrant: Chapter 12 - That settles it - Part Two {Rewrite}

Staring at the sprawling camp of the Bleak-Fang tribe, or what remained of them, I realised just how badly I had underestimated how many people we were coming to rescue. In my mind, I had envisioned the tribe of Serpent-Kin originally numbering in the hundreds at most. Then, after factoring in a gruelling battle that would cost them close to half their number and a hellish rate of attrition for spending who ...

Ogre Tyrant: Chapter 12 - That settles it - Part One {Rewrite}

Holding the new spear Hana had made for me just this morning, I felt conflicted. Formed entirely of dense hardwood, the spear was a little taller than I was and had a long thin leaf-blade style head. Combined with the swirling pattern of the wood-grain, it was objectively beautiful. However, the underlying motivations for the gift still left me feeling uncomfortable.

Hana had insisted that her reasons ...

Roasting fish on skewers by the fire, I was pleased by the amount of enjoyment Toofy seemed to gain from the rather simple activity. Toofy had proven a natural at cleaning and gutting the fish. Not that I should have expected any different.

Toofy was sitting on my lap as we both tended the fire and rotated the fish to try and cook them evenly. We had already Cooked around twenty or so and the trio of ...
