********************************************
Fabius had arrived at the promised time, punctual as always. Now, he crouched next to Joey, making his massive body look smaller. Joey imagined this is what a bear about to pounce on prey looked like. 2023-07-18 11:29:21 +0000 UTC View Post
AMBYSSUS | Prologue
Joey woke with a blunt blow to his chest. His training kicked in, and his muscles tensed. Before he could fight back, another hit squeezed the air out of his lungs, and he heard his daughter calling out to him.
"Daddy! Wake up! Mom says it's time for dinner."
"Molly, why are you jumping on me like that?"
"You didn't wake up when I called nicely." So that's what it was. Joey relaxed. It wasn't surprising that his daughter had struggled to wake him up. His biological clock was...

Hello, dear friends. With the end of the free release of Planet Ignis on Royal Road, I'll be moving on to releasing chapters for a new novel: Ambyssus. It will be exclusive to Patreon for now, but as things progress, I'll release it on Royal Road, too. Here is the blurb to see if you might enjoy reading it:
Despite growing up in the slums, Jeff becomes a successful businessman and owns his sea cow ranch in Lake Grassum. On the other hand, his friend Joey grew up as a wealthy boy, bu...

It had been two days since Roth had completed the [Monsters in the Sewers] quest. Since then, Roth had taken as many trips as he could until finishing gathering the intel he needed. On the last trip to the Baldwins, Roth had finally found the combination to the vault. He also knew now the names of the different Gazpacho captains and had a good grasp on the underboss' schedule. With that, all the ingredients for a successful break-in had been gathered.
He already had plenty of informatio...

Everyone had arrived. After Drake sent out a message, it didn't take long for the veterans to appear. They all now stood in a circle off in a corner of the lab while Mario was being repaired for the third time today.
There were ten people in total. There was Roth, the only one under forty out of the bunch. Then, there was Drake, who now confidently sported his copper arm. Roth had still not gotten used to seeing his friend walking around with two arms. Even now, as Roth looked at Drake,...

Roth ran under the moonlight through the streets of the commercial district. He went past Merchant Street, Carpenter Street, and Tinkerer Street while praying that no one from the IronIre squad would be there looking for him. Every shadow and every player that glanced in his direction sent his heartbeat into disarray.
Even though the lighting was poor, the stark white stone of the citadel reflected the many torches lit around it, making it perfectly visible even from down here. It was a...

The woman on the other end of the line had her hair tied into a ponytail and had large thick glasses. She was pleasingly symmetrical and had beautiful feminine features, but Josh didn't feel attracted or captivated; on the contrary. She was a ruthless taskmaster.

The Golden Mountain's old, dilapidated building was exactly like he had left it. He hadn't returned since that first time when he'd met the old man. He hoped that Soros had been able to sell the merchandise and procure the necessary items. He was counting on Soros to get him a good deal for the goods he had entrusted to him. After all, he was splitting the profit with him. If Soros didn't do well, it would take a massive chunk of Roth's income. He had seemed a capable merchant, but the Gazpac...

Five days... it felt like it had been forever since he'd been trapped in the sewers. In five days, so many things had changed. From running into Gary to getting to the sewers, he found monsters, danced with and befriended snakes, met Soros, investigated a crime family, and even reunited with his dear friend and sponsor. It felt like a lifetime, but it was just five days.

Gary studied his current skill set-up and equipment. To get enough insight to see through the disguise offered by the [Thief’s Mask] Roth was probably wearing, he had to sell some of his rare equipment and was now using common-grade junk.
What infuriated Gary was that he had to delete two of his precious skills to make room for two new passive ones that gave him extra points in his insight. Even with the added skill slots from being a Rogue, deciding which ones to keep and which to to...

The familiar figure of his sponsor came down into the lab as an angel from heaven.
"Drake! It's you! You're here!" Roth ran toward him and embraced him.
"OK. OK, now," said Drake. Roth felt him patting his aback and felt like a lost puppy for a moment, then finally broke off the embrace. He found Drake's eyes studying the lab around him and finally landing on the alligator. The alligator kept busily repairing the drone without paying heed to the new arrival.

I wanted to create a company to get you and some other guys from the Rageaholics to work with me. I thought it would be a nice way of helping everyone find their bearings once they left the joint."

"Don't tell me to stay calm! It's not your son that is being held captive!" Even though Drake had dealt with some of the worst characters the city had seen, he still couldn't remain unaffected by this woman's rage. Roth hadn't exaggerated when he had described his mother to him. At least she wasn't screaming outright for the whole street to hear. Discretion was currently their best weapon.
