Legends Never Die: Next Steps (ch. 10)

“Hnngh…” I groaned, hearing the faint sound of screaming not too far off in the distance. As if someone was being muffled by a bite. My upper body felt incredibly sore, as if I had pulled every single muscle in my arms, shoulders, and back. I was used to the feeling of pushing myself a little too hard, but I had truly overdone it this time. I doubt I would be able to raise my arms above my head for a week. No- wait, I had Fast Healer. So, a few days.

Shifting my head made me open ...

Legends Never Die: Taste of War (ch. 9)

I had hoped that since I was traveling with Jarl Horrik’s hird, though I wasn’t a member myself, that I would have a slight clue of what was going on. But, I was absolutely clueless as the campaign began. Near a hundred ships sailed out of Alabu to the calls of good luck from about a thousand families, and we took a familiar trip down south towards Saxony. We maintained a good wind the entire way, until we eventually reached the opening of the river that the village had been sat upon.

Legends Never Die: Changing Winds (ch. 8)

Despite my hopes, I found Alabu in full swing as we entered the city. Not as much as it had been when I first visited, but it still felt like there were twice as many people in the city as it was meant to house. People eyed me with some interest, given that I towered over them thanks to the wagon and horse. My destination was the longhouse, to speak to the Jarl -- he was the one that would give me permission to set up a stall in the marketplace, and he was the one that could buy my excess foo...

Legends Never Die: Temptations (ch. 7)

I realized my mistake too late. After defending my home, then the raid… the amount of praise I had gotten went straight to my head and I hadn't realized it. Everyone proclaimed me as a great warrior unlike any other, to the point I had been so distinguished that I got fifty acres worth of land. I had become so strong that I could mold the earth with my sheer, raw physical power…

My mistake was thinking that because I was a great killer of men, that meant I could kill anything. I had...

Gone Native: Steps Forward (ch. 52)

I stood in a great white expanse, a vast nothingness all around that almost hurt to look at. The only things of note were some amenities so far off in the distance that they were hardly specs in my vision, but there was a cafeteria, a private bath, and a door that would lead out of this space that seemed to stretch on for eternity. It was modeled after a memory of mine. Or, a memory of a past life. I thought it had been an exaggeration when I heard that staying in this white expanse could dri...

Gone Native: Mistakes of the Past (ch. 51)

That was a little jarring to hear. Everything was the opposite of what I thought it was. Given that the current Saiyan race was what we were, I figured that the Guardians had defeated us rather soundly. From what I got from Froot and the Guardians, that had been the case, but I just didn’t have the full story. I thought that Sadala had been captured by the Guardians and they were experimenting on her, trying to create a Saiyan race that fit their ideals.

Instead, Sadala was out there,...

Gone Native: Mother of Saiyans (ch. 50)

"Got it all out of your system?" Kara questioned, crossing her arms over her chest as I touched down on the planet, the last vestiges of god ki leaving my body and causing my hair to shift into its usual black color. A second later a pool of swirling red appeared next to me, revealing Hal as he floated out of it. He looked at me and made a face.

"Tsk."

I smirked in response. We hadn't called it a race, but between our methods of teleportation, mine was by far the superior one. The...

Gone Native: Coming to Terms (ch. 49)

Hal and I moved at the same time, determined to beat the other into submission. I nursed a spark of god ki in my chest, using it to chip away at Hal's body as he used his fists to pulverize my ribs. I felt them shift underneath his knuckles, the strike making the bones creak because Hal wanted them to, just as his face rippled when I planted a fist into his cheek, translucent willpower shifting like water while flakes split off like shards of glass. Our eyes met despite the punches landed and...

What story should replace Fool's World?

Hello everyone, welcome to the second story poll! As mentioned yesterday, with Fool’s World going on hiatus, this poll will determine which fic will be replacing it. This is the synopsis for your four choices, but each has an introductory chapter available below. Or below. I have no idea how Patreon is going to format this.

The choices are:

Gacha God (MCU): This story features probably the most Chaotic Neutral character I’ve ever written -- Sebastian Galahad S...

Gacha God (MCU): Chapter 1

"It's the Man! Cheese it!" I shouted, throwing myself over a table, sending a half-eaten cheese pizza and a very flat root beer over the edge as I scrambled out of the booth. The rather rundown pizza parlor thumped with powerful music, filling the air with the latest pop hits and the sounds of dozens of teenagers. The light was low, and the glass window to the parlor was tinted, but I still saw the approaching cops and teachers. While my warning might have fallen on deaf ears, my ruckus didn'...

Boys Night Out (WC/The Boys): Chapter 1

"Wallet? Check," I said, patting my ass to find my wallet in my back pocket. "Phone? Check," I continued, patting my left front pocket. "Car keys? Check," I continued, parting my right front pocket to find the key ring that also had my apartment key along with a few others. "Fifty kilos of cocaine?" I continued, my gaze landing on the duffle bag that was stuffed to the point of bursting with fifty bricks of some of the purest cocaine on the face of the planet.

"Check," I finished, tossi...

All Because I’m Evil~ (Arcane): Chapter 1

"Oh please, please -- it won't happen again, just give me another chance and it won't ever happen again!" No one really knew how they would face death until the very end. Everyone had an idea -- maybe going out as a steeled-eyed badass, with a faint graceful smile. Maybe even laughter as they greeted death like an old friend. But, no one ever thought they would beg, even if it meant extending their lives just a few seconds longer. They never thought that they'd break down into tears and start...

Domain Expansion: Battle Royale (WC/DC Comics): Chapter 1

Waking up naked wasn’t an unusual occurrence for me. I usually slept in the buff. No real reason why -- just more comfortable that way, even if it did mean I would be facing a burglar in the nude. I imagine that would be as much of a nightmare for me as the burglar, though. So, waking up naked was a pretty common state of affairs for me.

Waking up naked on a stone slab while surrounded by other people? Not so much.

“Rise, o’ Lord! Rise Sukuna Ryomen, King of Curses, to lay w...

Fool's World Announcement

To get this out of the way -- Fool's World will be going on a temporary hiatus. I'm not happy about it, and I am very sorry for those that have been enjoying the story thus far. It's not something that I want to do, but it is something that I think I should do. To preface this, it has been something that I've been thinking about for some time and I only recently came to a conclusion. 

I've always been my harshest critic when it comes to my writing, and while it cou...

Fool's World: Aftermath (ch. 36)

The battle had been a bad one. We spent the night going through the wreckage, dragging people out of the ocean. The Water Tribe waterbenders helped a great deal, but the wave had hurt us about as much as it had hurt the Fire Nation. And we had been prepared for it. In terms of people, we lost a few hundred. Two hundred and thirteen people. Of which thirty were earthbenders. In terms of ships, we lost nearly exactly half of the fleet that we had set out with.

Of the half remaining, littl...

Fool's World: Foolish Actions (ch. 35)

Huge balls of fire streaked across the sky, their paths marked with trails of smoke, before they crashed against the once proud wall that secured the capital of the Northern Water Tribe. Fire washed over the white wall, intense heat melting the ice that formed it as large craters and cracks formed underneath the relentless onslaught. In an almost rhythmic fashion, a dozen chunks of flame covered earth slammed into the tall wall and almost as soon as they started to fall either embedding thems...

Fool's World: 100 Years (ch. 34)

It was daunting just how much the world had changed in a hundred years. There were relics of what once was -- Bumi had been the greatest of them all, but for the most part, the world seemed to have forgotten its history so very quickly. It was hard at times. Extremely hard. Seeing the Western Air Temple being converted into a home for refugees -- seeing the once pristine waterfalls, the ancient statues, and the peaceful way of life changed so radically…

There were days when Aang reall...

Fool's World: Enemy Action (ch. 33)

There was a pirate fleet brewing in the oceans. Admiral Zhao had heard about it in low rumblings and rumors to start with. A prison barge had been intercepted by the Fire Nation defense fleet and while he hadn’t seen it for himself, what he heard was chilling. The hold was filled with corpses and madmen. Fine Fire Nation soldiers were reduced to gibbering lunatics that couldn’t hold a simple conversation to explain what had happened to them. From everything Zhao had heard, those that died...

Castoff: Humans and Monsters (ch. 4)

"Oh," was Ciri's response the moment that Guts' words registered with her. His smoldering expression narrowed into a dull glare, telling her that he wasn't at all satisfied with the response and that he clearly expected more. However, the glare wasn't accusatory. Which was a good sign, but also a pretty terrible one.

"Oh?" Guts echoed, his voice low and rumbly. "I tell you that I'm from a different continent and your response is 'Oh?'" he continued, clearly suspicious of her response. M...

Legends Never Die: Farmstead (ch. 6)

“What happened to the last owner of the farm?” Havi asked as we entered the border of my farmstead. It was a bit of a mixed bunch, I found. There was some flatland near the river that flowed east towards Alabu, my farmstead located further west than my parent’s. There were also rolling hills that were covered in a dense forest along the border of the fifty acres I was allotted.

“Executed. Tax evasion,” I answered with knowledge gained from when I had done a little asking aroun...
