55- What's Wrong With This Town?

Vraxious- Hopes End

The bounty hunter looked around expectantly at the crowd of half-drunk townsfolk. ”Did I stutter? Where is the paladin? first to talk gets thirty imperial gold.”

A figure against a back table wearing a cloak made of fine white fabric that accentuated the vicious look of the black daggers strapped to their thigh was the first to speak up in an incredulous tone: “Did, did you really just admit aloud that you have thirty gold on you?”

A drunk stumble...

54- A Beer And A Brawl

Vraxious- The Forsaken Lands

The Sentinel flailed its nerves around, groping at the nearby ground for a moment, seemingly getting used to moving without the weight of meat and flesh upon it. Then it began winding its arm ropes around itself, all the small dangling nerves tying themselves tight, turning it into a creature roughly the shape of a snake with the large half-broken eye in place of a head.

Torvald cursed under his breath, fighting back. The need to vomit and ran to aid V...

53- Blood In The Water

Inquisitor Vanessa Sky- Hopes Hold, Capitol Of The Eastmarch Dutchy

Vanessa leaned back in the opulent dark wooden chair, embracing the luxury she so often went without. Duke Darmit was many things, but a bad host wasn’t one of them. The war room she was in had beautifully lacquered wooden walls so dark they were almost black, matching the massive table she sat around with other important figures.

The Duke, in all his fancy drapery with his always cruel, predatory expression, sa...

52- An Indifferent Evil

Vraxious- The Forsaken Lands

The trek into the valleys and crags of the nest was interesting… Torvald was as useful as a pig at an eleven brunch. Stumbling blindly behind Vrax, oblivious to the dozens of vile slugs that had oozed towards them across the badlands. Vrax finished off another [Soul Render Grub Tier-1.](lvl9) With a particularly petty twist of his spear, flaring smite into a spinning wire that rotted through the guts of the creature, its insides all gulped out of its mouth...

51- Trials and Tribulations

Vraxious- The Forsaken Lands

Vrax was still awkwardly holding his hand out toward the portly explorer; he was about to speak and try to end the damned awkwardness that had settled over them when the explorer finally firmly grabbed his hand, giving it a good shake.

“Erni-Von Hillback, explorer extraordinaire and author of more than fourteen imperially recognized guidebooks. It’s an honor to meet a local legend.” He cautiously expounded, eyes flitting between Vrax and Duchess ...

50- [The Paladin Of The Forsaken Lands]

Vraxious- The Forsaken Lands

Vrax looked at the Dreadfeast, really examining it from up close. Thick, smooth, scaled skin; an almost freakishly muscular torso and arms while still being lithe; and the spines running down its back outlined by the bioluminescence he added. The thick bladed tail with a symbol of the cycle placed a handspan from the jagged blades. And finally, the unique, awful, multi-layered maw with three separate sets of jaws within going halfway into its throat, each on...

Update Chapter 50! soon

Chapter 50 guys! its shaping up to be a long one with some pretty defining changes to Vrax as he solidifies his build since substantial changes take so many more levels worth of essence going forward and the wider world will start to hear of him.

49- Nations Will Tremble

Vraxious- The Forsaken Lands

Vrax stared at the achievement notification, mouth hung open, trying to grasp the implications of what it said. He pointedly ignored the top half of Sunshine slowly crawling through the smoldering green flames for some godsforsaken reason and instead slowly read the achievement again. Adding Sunshine’s top half back to the garden almost as an afterthought when it came within reach.

48- Arsenal Of Life

Vraxious- Forsaken Lands

Vrax watched from across the square in his elevated perch as Torvald shook the sack full of Bogarts and a single Dandelion with the myriad of improvements he had made. This is going to be interesting...just remember, Torvald, toss them lightly; we want them to run some and disperse some before...the big finale.

The scene below Vrax was bizarre chaos and violence. The gliders were still harrying the edges of the crowds with phantasms but with much ...

47- Go Forth And Play

Holy Inquisitor Vanessa Sky-Crucible Hamlet

Vanessa sat in the rowdy tavern sipping on a shot of whisky. She appraised herself in the dusty mirror. The gently wavering blue and green of the magical illusion set into this establishment's ceiling played along her long straight hair so red it made you question if it was natural. The half-drunken men nearby kept giving her looks as if they had finally worked up the courage to speak to the unparalleled beauty armed to the teeth and covered i...

46- Cute But Awful

Vraxious- The Forsaken Lands

Vrax edged forward to peer at the tiny, fragile figure in Red’s outstretched hand. It was a light mottled brown and white with positively soft-looking fur, and there was another almost identical creature nestled behind it. It peered back with large, curious eyes and stretched its tiny arms out, showing off its wing-like flaps of skin.

The Myconid suddenly spoke, scaring the hell out of everyone in the room. “Good job, Red! Now give Vrax the Sugar G...

What do you think Red delivered

What critter do you think red delievered! This is just fun patron interaction not because writers block and indecision have had me re write the next chapter three times ,dear gods give me ideas yall XD

45- Bargains In The Darkness

Vraxious- The Forsaken Lands

The descent from madness to darkness was brief, a two-stride fall down into a thick carpet of glowing blue mushrooms that had conquered every surface in the large stone room. Whatever was once here had been claimed by nature, leaving only the stalwart tan brickwork. Torvald was standing in a fighting stance, legs spread wide, hammer held up, staring down something that was plodding its way up the staircase in the corner of the room.

Vrax trusted Torval...

44-DONT LOOK AT IT

Vraxious- The Forsaken Lands

Vrax looked at the dreadfeast clutching a shimmering black and red gem coated in gore that it had dug from within the Urgoth. Mana cores, or mana gems—they had several names, but they came from either monsters past the first advancement of level twenty-five or from rare mineral deposits in mana-dense areas. They could do many things. The most common kind could be used as a reservoir for mana, allowing you to cast spells beyond your means or continue using ...

43- Mercy Has No Place Here

Vraxious- The Forsaken Lands

Vrax held his hand back, signaling for Torvald to be still as the monster rose from the muck of the island ahead of them with a sick squelching sound and began scooping the scattered remains of the deer towards itself. Vrax didn’t have any fucking clue what he was looking at. It had a roughly serpentine shape with bulging back muscles and what almost looked like fins going down its sides and overtly long whiskers all across its head feeling at everything o...

42- Back To The Forsaken Lands

Vraxious- Hopes End

There was an uncomfortable stillness, the townsfolk's weapons drawn and the official representatives gloating over their perceived power over the townsfolk. Before anyone could do anything that couldn’t be undone, William spoke, stopping things from escalating further.

“Let his wonderful, magnanimous, glorious, resplendent, little pricked highness the duke know that we, the king’s loyal citizens, have received his message.” He spat at t...

Help me name the Dreadfeast!

41- Box Oh Heresy

Vraxious- Hopes End

It took some real teamwork, but with the help of a slightly stolen live chicken and a lot of elbow grease, Vrax and Torvald managed to stuff the Dreadfeast back into its box, where it would stay to grumble at them while they were in town. Vrax might do some irresponsible shit, but he wasn’t going to do it on what was basically his porch.

Their first intended stop was, of course, to the chapel; Vrax wanted to touch base with his father. They sauntered up to th...

40- A New Species A Day Keeps The Dandelion Away

Vraxious- Kings Road

Vrax spent the next days of travel focusing on tweaking his creations. He started with the Daisy, working with a fervor that truly concerned Torvald. Vrax's eyes lit up as he summoned the mostly healed plant into the center of the road and gave its quivering tendrils a pet.

“Hey there, Sunshine. How would you like some upgrades…?” Sunshine twitched back and forth, scanning for anything moving, though it did seem to shuffle slightly closer to its creator ...

39- The Best Of Intentions

Arthur Decius- Whispering Grotto

The last two days had been a haze of desperate violence highlighted by stalwart moments of defiance in the face of the madness the dungeon had descended into. Arthur and his squad were about to attempt another rescue; a pair of low-level adventurers had fired a magical signal flare slightly ahead of them near the back wall of the first floor. He could see them perched on a rickety wooden watchtower, no doubt built by the goblins. One was firing bolt afte...

DAISY NAME POLL RESULT: SUNSHINE

With 81 percent of the vote we have a solid winner with Sunshine the maneating daisy!

38- Why Won't You Die?

Vraxious- Kings Road

Vrax let go of the leash just as Torvald rocketed ahead right past George and his bow, catching him with an elbow that fully flipped the man. He charged once again from almost point blank, launching his hammer upward into the bear's jaw, sending teeth and bits of stone showering from its armored snout. Goddammit, Torvald. I know you wanted to wrestle a bear, but kill the fucking archer first.

Vrax summoned his armor mid-sprint and dashed to the right ...
