Harry Potter: The Artisan's Path Chapter 81

Hi all, 

Here’s the third chapter of the week. Harry enters the final day of the competition, determined to take first place.

Chapter 81

Harry watched, his Demiguise form invisible, as Ivaylo fiddled with a small, peculiar device. The object, no larger than a snuff box, seemed to shimmer and shift, its surface rippling like quicksilver. Intricate runes etched along its edges pulsed with a faint, sickly green light. Ivaylo muttered an...

Pokemon: Resurgence Chapter 58

Hi all, 

Here's the second chapter of the week. Lucas discovers something unsettling when he visits Looker, and meets the gym leader, Clemont.

Chapter 58

The nondescript building blended seamlessly into the Lumiose cityscape, its weathered facade a perfect camouflage among the quaint boutiques and cafes. Lucas and Sabrina approached the door, its peeling paint and rusted hinges adding to the illusion of abandonment.

A sign, tarnis...

Hi all, 

Here’s the first chapter of the week. Lucas and Sabrina finish up at the dig site and travel to Lumiose City, where they meet a familiar character.

Chapter 57

The soft hum of machinery filled the air in Lysandre Labs, a stark contrast to the tense silence that had fallen over the gathered Team Flare scientists. At the centre of the room stood Lysandre himself, his imposing figure casting a long shadow across the polished floo...

Harry Potter: The Artisan's Path Chapter 80

Hi all, 

Here’s the final chapter for the week. After so many weeks, I have finally caught up to my schedule. The competition begins, and Harry discovers a secret in the castle.

Chapter 80

Harry stood in the castle courtyard, surrounded by contestants, his heart racing with excitement and nerves. He would be competing against all of them. The recognition that would come with finishing in the top ten, or even first place, was not his p...

Pokemon: Resurgence Chapter 56

Hi all, 

Here’s the next chapter. There is some excitement at the ruins, and Lucas gets another team member.

Chapter 56

Lucas tugged at the collar of his white lab coat, feeling like an impostor among the bustling crowd of researchers scurrying about the ruins. He glanced at Sabrina, who seemed equally uncomfortable in her borrowed attire. Professor Sycamore, on the other hand, appeared right at home, his eyes gleaming with excitement...

Plot Bunnies Story: Pocket Monsters

Hi all, 

Here’s a new plot bunny chapter. The story is about the protagonist gaining the ability to create Pokemon Cards and summon Pokemon into the real world. The plot is nothing special, but I was more focused on fleshing out the game mechanics. It hasn’t been edited, so there may be some mistakes.

Chapter 1

The cacophony of New York City filtered through Justin Mayer's thin apartment walls. A siren wailed i...

The Mage's Path: Chapter 6

Hi all, 

Here’s the next chapter. I have committed an unforgivable sin. I have made another change. I would like to say this would be the last, but I guarantee nothing. 

The Magic attribute has been changed to Spirit. It corresponds better to the narrative in this chapter. 

Harry and Celeste made their way through the dungeon, carefully exploring all branching paths and dead ends while defeating monsters alo...

The Mage's Path: Chapter 5

Hi all, 

Here’s the first chapter of the week. I have been heavily experimenting with my writing style, gamer elements, and formatting, which is why it took so long to come out. I think I am finally satisfied with where I’m at for the moment.

Harry sat in the darkened theatre room, his mind reeling from the scene he had just witnessed. The image of his mother's smiling face as she played with him as a baby kept flashing before his eyes, o...

Polls for next week.

Hi all,

There won't be two chapters for the top-voted story next week, as I will post another Plot Bunnies chapter. Doing two chapters per week for Pokemon several weeks in a row had me hit a wall this week, so I will take a week off.

Hi all, 

Here’s the next chapter. Harry and Hermione go on their first date, and he has a new task to complete: helping build the Potter Manor.

Chapter 79

With a flash of flames, Harry and Hermione arrived in an empty bedroom. Hermione stumbled, unused to the method of travel, but Harry grabbed her arm before she could tumble to the ground. Fawkes trilled at them, before flaming away. He would be back to pick them up when they were fi...

Pokemon Resurgence: Chapter 55

Hi all, 

Here’s the next chapter. Sorry this one is late, but this one fought me tooth and nail, and I’m still not completely happy with it.

Chapter 55

Lucas lay on the ground, conscious but unable to move his body. He could not see anything in his immediate surroundings, but he sensed an aggressive presence nearby. He tried to move, becoming increasingly desperate as the sense of danger grew to the point where he knew an attac...

Pokemon: Resurgence Chapter 54

Hi all, 

Here’s the first Pokemon chapter for the week. A new team member is introduced in this chapter, and it’s a dark/ground type. There will be another Pokemon joining next week, which will be a grass or water type. This will give Lucas six Pokemon in his main team (not including Meowth or Dante.)

Lucas and Sabrina reached the top of the hill, squinting against the sun's harsh glare as they gazed out at their land spr...

The Mage's Path: Chapter 4

Hi all, 

Here’s the next chapter. I have made some minor tweaks and edits to the last three chapters, but two major ones are:

The Fatigue resource has been changed to Stamina. It just reads better. I have added some extra amenities to the break room because Harry will be spending a lot of time in the tutorial dungeon.

Harry stood beneath the soothing shower spray, relishing the hot water as it worked its magic in easi...

Charlus concluded his call with Moody, setting the mirror down on his desk. Leaning back in his chair, he let out a heavy sigh.“Why are you so impatient?”

Moody had just told him that Godin, a suspected member of Obsidian's inner circle, was currently holed up in the warehouse. Godin, a noto...

Jacob wanted to show Harry something outside, and his curiosity about the cursed vaults easily convinced him to follow. Harry quickly donned warm clothes and his enchanted shoes, being careful to be quiet so he didn’t wake his dorm mates....

Pokemon Resurgence: Chapter 53

Hi all, 

Here’s the next chapter. I managed to get my Google account back up and running. The next post will be a double chapter for Artisan's Path, covering both the chapter from last week and this week's chapter.

Lucas tossed the Mega Stone, which Icarus caught with his beak and swallowed.  A visible shiver ran through Icarus as the stone passed down his throat and into his body. Icarus pecked nervously at the ground...

Hi all, 

Here’s the next chapter. I still owe the Artisan Path chapter for next week, but otherwise, I’m back on schedule. 

Harry gently lifted Celeste from the remnants of her shell, marvelling at her delicate form. Her translucent wings shimmered in the dim light, catching rainbow hues as they fluttered. She wore a simple white dress, its open back accommodating her gossamer appendages.

Celeste's eyes darted around, taking in...

Lucas and Sabrina arrived in Saffron City.

Hi all, 

Here’s the first of two chapters that rolled over from last week. I made some minor tweaks to some of the game mechanics, and I will go back and edit the first chapter at some point.

Harry thrust the dagger downward with all of his strength, aiming for one of the Chomper's eyes. The blade pierced the slimy surface with a sickening squelch, eliciting a hiss from the monster as it released Harry's leg. He kicked the Chomper, causing ...

Poll for next week's chapters.

Hi all,

I'm taking a break from Plot Bunnies next week. Instead, I'm planning on bringing back an old story, new and improved! I'm ditching Harry Potter: The Gamer's Dimension to give The Mage's Path another crack. There will be a lot of differences, but the bare bones of the original story will be there. I have learned a lot since then, so hopefully I can deliver an even better story.

There will be three chapters beside the first chapter of Harry Potter: The Mages' Path. I will...
