"This place is really empty, huh?" Lone said as he looked around the Manor that was supposedly home for the new Keepers.
Letty, who had commandeered Kyuubi's back, much to the dismay of Eolande, scoffed and lazily replied, "Of course it is. It's only the afternoon, so the new Keepers are busy going through tests or working hard to maintain the World Tree."
Eolande glared at Kyuubi's comfortable back and sighed. 'To think that so many Fairies of such strength were hi...

As stated on RRL, from this point on, I will be doing 2 chapters per week for both stories but the work count will be going up to at least 2,000 per chapter. Chapter 7 of SIS is sitting at 2,218 words and is the largest chapter ever for either of these stories.
Please let me know how you feel about this change and if the chapter felt better if you have $10 access and can read chapter 7 of SIS.

Daz and Ellie made their way to the exterior of Fort Skip and the two separated. Ellie had to focus on using her merit points since she had been too worried about Daz to spend the majority of them until now, and with his encouragement, she was planning to repair and upgrade the Makrov Mark V Automaton that she now possessed as much as her points would allow her.
Daz spent a total of two thousand and five-hundred merit points along with two-hundred and fifty base points to repair b...

Daz and Ellie made their way down the ramparts, and before long, the two were stood in front of the small cabin that was partially destroyed by the final Automaton boss. Ten men and woman were busily moving as Sandy directed them. "I noticed in the afternoon, but I'm glad Sandy jumped on this immediately. If he can get it fixed by hand, then I don't need to waste merit and base points on repairing or replacing it," Daz commented.
Ellie smiled from his side and added, "There was a ...

"So, Tal'hat'mata, mmm, that name's a mouthful for a non-native speaker like myself, can I just call you Tal?" Lone asked the Elven beauty as his group followed her through the luxurious city that expanded through the World Tree's branches.
Sophie suddenly tugged at Lone's sleeve and looked up at his face. Her eyes scared the powerful Foxkin. 'No. Nicknames.' she demanded icily via telepathy.
"Ah, er, scratch that. I guess I'll j...

"Is this the top? Why didn't Lipsilk bring us here directly?" Lone asked after he rubbed his eyes are adjusted himself to the sudden change in locations. For some reason, he felt queasy and abruptly fell to his knees before violently vomiting.
In fact, everyone did the same except for Sophie, Al'ka, Her Highness and, oddly enough, Kyuubi. Naturally, Sophie was fine since she was more than accustomed to teleporting and had long gotten used to the burden it put on the body. On the o...

In the Richies room in their shared cabin, Ger approached and sat next to Ellie who had her head down and was staring at the floor. "Ellie, what's wrong? You've been sulking here all morning. Shouldn't you be happy now that Daz is awake again?" Ger asked as he put a hand on his upset daughter's back.
"Mmm," Ellie weakly replied with little-to-no enthusiasm in her voice.
Ger rubbed his temple and sighed. "This is about Madison, isn't it? Or is it about your skill that you hav...

"This is amazing," Lone exclaimed as he looked at the city that was sprawled out before him. Inside of the World Tree lay a massive settlement of Wood Elves, as made obvious by the curved and wooden styled homes and buildings. However, Lone was aware that many races called the trunk of this World Tree their home due to being hand-picked to be World Tree Keepers like in Rachel's case. The whole concept of having a town like this inside of a tree genuinely excited Lone.
"Impressed?"...

Such creatures were widely hunted several millions of years ago for the power the ...

"So this is a World Tree, huh?" Lone marvelled at the sight before him.
A trunk so large you couldn't even see the end of it. It was like looking at a never-ending wall of bark. If Lone craned his neck, he could see that the tree went up limitlessly as well. It truly was a sight to behold. Perhaps more importantly though, Lone could feel a wealth of energy in the air.
"Impressed?" Al'ka asked from his side.
"Yeah...it's really something." Lone wasn't the only one...

Dorian tossed and turned in his bed sheets. 'I can't sleep.'
He was naturally too anxious. It had nearly been two and a half days now, but he still couldn't fall asleep. His mind wouldn't allow him. Dorian finally gave up trying and he threw his duvet across the room in anger.
His strength was low, so the bed covers barely made it a few feet away from him. Dorian sighed and looked down at his crumpled up bedding. "What am I going to do?"

Somewhere in an unknown ocean, two Dwarfs and a Purity Dragonkin were sat in a rowboat while the older Dwarf of the two rowed it calmly. He seemed to be enjoying himself as he watched his Purity Dragonkin friend sweat while talking to a relative over the communication orb that they owned.

A young boy, no older than six, got out of his luxurious bed and dressed himself. He had an expressionless look on his plain face and he looked very bored with everything. Once he was properly clothed, the boy left him room and began walking through the lavishly decorated mansion in which he lived.

Lone instantly knew he couldn't dodge or block the one-hundred fireballs, so he channelled his mana into Dawn and created several lighting waves, each of which built up behind him to create an even more powerful lightning wave.
Lone didn't possess Rachel's level of magical control nor mana points, so he could only make a total of seven lightning waves before he was at his limit.
Rachel wasted no more time and lowered her hand, resulting in all one-hundred fireballs of ...

Ellie stalked off the ramparts with a downcast look on her face. She didn't speak any further and just left without saying any further words. Madison looked at her curiously. "New Girlfriend?" she asked with a tilt of her head, making her look particularly cute.

Madison slowly raised her hands and held D...

Hey! I'm going to try to commission at least 1 piece of artwork per month or per second month and all of you lovely patrons will get access to any of that artwork 1 month before the public will on RRL!
Just figured that since I lowered the goal rewards, that I should increase the monthly rewards!
The first pieces of artwork should be ready in about two weeks. They will be character art of Sophie from LTW and Daz from SIS (if everything goes to plan).
Love you all. <3

I have edited the goals to be more realistic since I struggle to write more than my usual 6 chapters per week (3 per fic).
To summarise the changes, my end goal for the $10 tier is now 12 early chapters, not 17, and the $1,000 goal reward of a new tier being added has been lowered from 30 early chapters to 20 early chapters, however, the planned price for this fourth tier has also been lowered from $20 to $15.
Sorry about this. This simply makes it far more doable for me. Not...

Lone was stunned after having heard what weapon Swind wanted to train in. His chosen weapon was strings. How was Lone supposed to teach him anything related to fighting with strings? Lone had a very basic understanding of sword fighting and spear fighting while Eolande was well versed in illusion magic and Breena had a rudimentary understanding of daggers. However, not even any of Lone's books mentioned how to fight with something as unorthodox as strings.
