Progress Update and Sneak Peek - [14/Sept]

Hello, everybody!! First of all, a huge thank you to everyone for the wonderful feedback on the past update! I know it's been a little while and the updates are slow, but sharing this story with you all is an honor, and I'm so excited to see that folks are still loving the last chapter. 😊

A quick update on Chapter 3, Part 2. I had hoped to have it finished by the end of last month, but life had other plans! I'm now aiming to complete it within the next few weeks, confident it will be...

The Abyssal Update

It's finally here!!! I have to say, with the amount of work I have on a daily basis, this update is a miracle, but I did it. 🖤🖤

Not going to bother you guys with more nonsense.

Just enjoy, and remember to play with different dominions for maximum enjoyment! 👻💀

Sneak Peek (Chap 3 pt2) - Madness Dominion

Hi hi hi!! I just wanted to come here and show a little bit of what I'm working on right now.

I'm so hyped to be writing the same scene but in completely different ways depending on Death's new dominion. My favorites so far have been a tie between Madness and Pain. 😗😗

Progress Update [21/July]

Heeey, I hope life has been treating you guys alright! 👻🖤

Look at me; I have just released chapter three, part 1, and I am already in full writing mode for the next update. This one won't take a year, I promise. I'll give my all to have a new one cooked and ready by next month or soon after.

Since yesterday I've been writing an interlude where a new character makes an appearance, and I'm excited because this is the first time they grace my screen. Let's see if you guys can ...

Sneak Peek - Next chapter

The city needs Éoin.

Not to lay out the dead with careful hands, not to whisper the old rites over stone-cold bodies—but to stand between the living and the tide of ruin threatening to drown them all. The irony isn’t lost on them. The Yskari family has always been tolerated at arm’s length, their presence in the Bronze District met with a mix of superstitious dread and pragmatic acceptance. Necessary, yes. Welcome? Never.

They are the keepers of thresholds, the tenders of e...

Sneak Peak - Friend!Crush Sol route

[A brief sneak peek of the next update I'm currently working on. The scene happened in the past, and it sheds light on their dynamic with a Death who is terrible at hiding their crush ;)]

—

Your breath catches in your throat, words dissolving before they can form. Sol's proximity—warm, solid, unbearably present—seems to short-circuit your thoughts, leaving your mind blank and your body paralyzed. Your pulse, normally slow and measured, stutters into something quicke...

The Abyssal Update

Let's focus on the good part, shall we? I've got some good news!!

Down below you will find some of the changes I made for this update.

1. Sol is now gender selectable!
2. Friend!crush Sol (friends to lovers) and Enemy!crush Sol (enemies to lovers). Romancing choices are marked with ...

Sol - Spicy Story

What can I say? Sol has been a fan favorite since the beginning, so this spicy short is way overdue hahah 🌞

This one happens in the distant past, when things were much simpler and love was still young. For now, only the male version is available, but I'm already working on the female version! 🖤🖤

Kazael NSFW Alphabet

So hereee we go with another NSFW Alphabet, this time for our dear raven, Kazael Crane! 💀

There's a male and female option so choose whichever you like best and have fun!! 😊

Garden of Eternal Blaze

The Garden of Eternal Blaze was created by the First Humans as a tribute to the children of the god of fire. Perched between Mount Inferno and the mountain ranges that split the continent in half, this green jewel was brought to life by the followers of Amorr. Despite almost meeting their demise at the hands of Asunder, the Primordial, the deity of love immortalized the dragon and traitor demigod into a place of prestige in Amorr's Enchanting Gardens. 

It is unclear why Amorr went ...

Interlude Sneak Peek - Nemeya

Heya!! 🖤💀

A small sneak peek at Nemeya's interlude. It has a few more than 20k words, and it takes place in the far past, at the beginning of all the machinations that would eventually happen to get Death imprisoned.

Death's Pets

So excited to show you guys this--sneak peek?

This ONE of the possible pets that will be available for you to choose, I plan on giving at least five options, maybe six, lets see.

A heads on, the scene where you will be able to pick a pet happened in the past, before Death's imprisonment, so the little ones were still pretty much babies at that point. The chosen pet had two thousand years to mature into their final form, when you guys meet again they will be much, much bigger. :) 2023-06-21 15:28:30 +0000 UTC View Post

Rose Bloom Festival - Amorr Smut

Yep, is here!! I lost count of how many messages I received asking for this 🤣🤣

In this short, Death and Amorr are already in a relationship, and it can be interpreted as taking place after the books or sometime during them. In this one, Death is not addressed as being male but they do have certain male "body parts" and Amorr is the opposite. This is just a brief example of how the smut scenes will play out in the books. 😊

Good reading!! 🖤🖤

Shrine of Sanclava - The Lost God

A lost shrine for a lost god. Sanclava, god of miracles and herald of the gods. Believed to be Death's protégé and the only one to have humanity best interests at heart. After the Furyan Gods betrayal, Sanclava up and vanished without leaving a trace.

~~*~~

Heya!! It's a pleasure to present you guys with one of the many minor deities sprinkled throughout Hylaria. 🤩

This is Sanclava—a Furyan deity—the god of miracles and herald of the gods. Sanclava'...

The Desert Jewel - Aza'deh Short Story

Heyaaa!! I'm back with a short story (3k) featuring our dearest Aza'deh and Tai'jik, the god of deserts and safe passage. 🙌🙌

If i'm not mistaken this is Aza'deh's first appearance ever, so be kind to them 🤭

I just wanted to drop this short story before the launch of chapter one rewrite, which is almost (95%) ready, so stay tuned!!

Oh, and there's a male and female version available, so pick the one you like best. 

All in all, good reading! 🖤🖤

The Abyssal Timeline - First Period

Hey!! It's a pleasure to bring to all of you the oficial timeline for The Abyssal. 🎉🎉

This is only the First Period, which started roughly one hundred million years ago with the "birth" of the Creator, and went until Death's coronation as the King/Queen/Ruler of the Underworld. When I say Death's age is nearly immeasurable I wasn't kidding hahah.

The Abyssal - Éoin's Home/Mortuary

A bit of a spoiler, maybe? 

Éoin's home, also known as the Yskari Mortuary, is named after the second most important river of the underworld which dark waters hug Death's palace from all sides. 

The mortuary is situated in Solarys' bronze district, it has three levels: the first level is where Éoin receives clients and basically showcases their work, a practice that is as important as the embalming process itself, which happens in the basement—a place where ...

Wulfric NSFW Alphabet ('male' Death)

Down below you will be able to download the PDF attachment. I'll be using this method from now on, let me know if there are any problems!

All in all, good reading! 🖤🐺

The Abyssal - Kazael's Manor 2nd Floor

The Part two of the Crane Manor, Kazael's home.

Crane Manor 1st Floor - The Abyssal

The Crane Manor stands tall and proud for centuries, a darkling beacon overlooking the city of Luanya. After Kaz's parents met their tragic end, the young heir had to make a difficult decision, a decision that would send waves across Hylaria—these ramifications emanate from their every action like ripples from a stone thrown into a pond.

The Abyssal, Death themselves, will walk through these halls.

The Thirsty Kraken Inn - Crown of Mirrors

The Thirsty Kraken Inn appears as the main setting on the human (prologue) path, and unfortunately—or fortunately—has been burned to the ground by the Mirror Shard. The place still has many secrets that the MC will have the opportunity to discover on a later date, if they are brave enough that is.

The Abyssal - The Edge of the World

A small island to the southeast of Harduin, it stands forgotten by most mortals, safe from a few adventurers who seek fame and glory through martyrdom.
In ancient times the island was believed to be Quaboth's realm on the surface-world. The rough surface of the island is covered in rocky mountains and active volcanoes. It would make sense for the god of fire to erect his domain facing the gates of the underworld in order to impede any mortals, or gods, from disrupting his dear sibling's wo...

CoM - Dandelion's Race

So, a while back I posted the introduction post for Crown of Mirrors with all the ROs, I also posted a sneak peek of the human prologue featuring one of the ROs, Dandelion who, for all intents and purposes was locked into being one of the Kindred—an anthropomorphic race.

A friend of mine raised the question that not everyone would be comfortable (?) romancing a character like that, so I would like to ask you guys what y'all think of that.

Should I give the player the option to c...

The Abyssal - The Fallen Terror

At birth Death had many enemies—brothers and sisters—in order to survive they had to made the ultimate sacrifice: shed the blood of their own family. As the blood of the Fallen bled through the world's arteries, so did Death's heart, for every injury they inflected it was a personal attack against the Creator's endless benevolence.

The Creator's final legacy never seemed so hopeless during those eons.

Mortals, in their everlasting greed, soon found use for the remains of the F...

CoM Sneak Peek - Dandelion

A little sneak peek on the CoM human prologue, where you get to interact with Dandelion, a potential RO in the future. Dandelion is a lion-kindred. The Kindred are a bestial magical race that comes from the same realm as the Giants and the Duwende. They are what humans would describe to be a mix between a human and a beast.
Regarding Dandelion's race, I might give the player the option to choose between human and Kindred. I'll make a poll for that later ^^
