IDWTBTHQ Chapter 78 - Hive Sweet Hive
The sun was shining bright in the sky, melting down the last remnants of snow from the now green fields mottled with flowers while countless birds flocked in the sky, seemingly celebrating the end of the winter with their singing.
There was, however, a place that was untouched by the arrival of spring. A long strip of land, about 15 kilometers long and 8 kilometers wide, was entirely covered in a gray, translucent substance which encroached everything, drowning the vegetation under a li...

Interlude 5 - Nuke it
A few minutes before, while the Piraca Nobles were still discussing in the main hall, a few dozen Thralls were walking around in the corridors in the lower levels of the fortress.
On its own, this wasn’t anything out of the ordinary. There were hundreds of those creatures in the castle and most of them were still busy working. But while these Piraca seemed completely normal at first glance, a more thorough inspection would have revealed that there was something wrong about them. They ...

Sorry if I took it so long to pst a new chapter, but I (unsurprisingly) was caught up in another session of exams for my university. I've finished this winter exam session though, so I should be free to resume writing at my leisure for now!
Also, from next chapter, I will resume the main story and return to Marcus as the main POV.

Interlude 4 - Acid Advisors
The Piraca are one of the most peculiar species that inhabit the Caligare forest.
Physically, they look like a mix between a bat, a vulture and a fish, with wrinkly, rubbery pale blue skin. The Piraca lacks any sort of visible natural weapons, such as talons or teeth, and even their beaks are not sharp, but appearances can be deceiving, since they do possess a lethal hidden weapon. From their leech-like tongue, Piracas can shoot a tremendously powerful acid, capable of melt...

Interlude 3 - Rip and Tears
Anak'si ran out of her hut, trying to understand what was going on.
There were Spawnlings and Hybrids running all around like chickens with their heads cut off, while screams and roars could be heard in the distance, coming from the northern border of the woods.
It didn't take a genius to understand that the nest was under attack. And while Anak'si couldn't be sure about who the attackers were, she strongly suspected that it might be the orcs.
She stood immobile for a moment...

The Rantul are a species of sentient arachnids that has been present in Aos ever since the dawn of history, though according to some elven sources they have made their appearance only a few centuries before humanity.
Rantul reproduce parasitically by laying eggs inside of the bodies of other living creatures, so that the larvas can incubate safely and have an assured food supply for when they hatch. According to their birth process, the Rantul are divided into three s...

Interlude 1 - It's all Ogre Now
Orcs are sapient humanoid creatures that have made their appearance in Aos during the course of the 18th century. They are well known for their huge appetite and their violent disposition.
The average adult orc is about two meters tall, though it's not uncommon for them to reach three or four meters of height. They have scaly, green-brownish skin, thick waist and limbs, and their arms are so long that they can easily reach their knees. Their shoulders are extremely wide and...

This is the draft for chapter 78. It's not complete yet (it's a long chapter, the rest it's still not even at the level of a draft) but I'll post it anyway. You can read it while I'm writing it, and I'm open for suggestions for how to make my orcs and ogres!

Sorry if it took me so long to get back to writing, but I was having some trouble with my PC. I managed to solve them and recover my drafts, so I'll be able to post the new chapters soon!

Stonebarrow was a rather small village, consisting only of about a dozen houses all facing on the main road with a small square in the middle. The only noteworthy thing about it was that all the buildings were mostly made out of stone, which made sense since this was a mining town.
The quarry was a few hundreds meters from the village, dug into the side of a wood-covered hill like a huge bite mark left by a colossal creature.
After leaving Klara and Felix at the villa...

Sorry for the wait
Hello everyone! Sorry for missing a release last week , but between university and a few health issues I REALLY couldn't write anything. I'm gonna pick up the pace this week, and I'll try to go even further beyond and increase the number of patreon chapters, plus some other perks.

It was almost noon when the caravan arrived in sight of the village.
“Hey Klara, is that our destination?” Marcus asked.
“Yeah, that's Stonebarrow.” The girl replied, “We should get there in about half an hour.”
“Good.” the Vex Queen sighed, “I can't wait to get down from this cart. Sure it is better than walking, but now my... ” he stopped, suddenly realizing that he lacked the Imperial translation for a word he was very fond of. 2020-09-19 18:50:22 +0000 UTC View Post
IDWTBTHQ Chapter 75 - Girl Talk
It was a chilly and foggy morning when the Vex left Brettholz.
They marched out of the southern gates quietly, making hardly any sound, and no one, save for the guards on the walls, noticed their departure. About three hundred drones, all those left alive after the siege, moved in a long line that stretched for almost a mile. The Hunters ran at the head of that formation, scouting the territory ahead, followed by the Warriors who marched in a loose formation, while th...

2020-09-13 15:37:15 +0000 UTC View PostHive Queen Bestiary: yes or no?
Since, by narrative necessity, I'm introducing a LOT of different creatures in the novel, would you be interested in having a bestiary containing additional info about the species that Marcus is gonna find (and eat) during his adventure?
Tell me what you think in the poll!
IDWTBTHQ Chapter 74 - A Study in Feeling Blue
The marquis’s library was located in a small and cramped room with only one window, a small table at the center and the walls covered in bookshelves filled with hundreds of books. There were only a couple of chairs which at the moment were occupied by Marcus and Klara, and an oil lamp was on the table, though for now the light of the day was more than enough.
Marcus was sitting in front of the table, intent on staring at the pages of a book that Klara had selected for him...
