Announcement!

It's a good one this time, I promise!

I am now.... drum roll please.... a PUBLISHED author! 

Almost all the details are under an NDA agreement, meaning I can't say much but what I can say is I am contractually obligated to write THREE books of at least 100k words each. Yes... the deal was that good they managed to get me to write that much!

I will be allowed to continue uploading chapters here, so I hope you stick with me on this journey.

Thanks for reading! New c...

103. Spoils of War

Damien opened his eyes to a ceiling that filled him with a sense of familiarity and comfort. The sandstone brick held up by well-crafted wooden support bathed in a warm glow from the midday sun sneaking through the curtains was a welcome change from the featureless white walls of his hospital room.

'Why does the sunlight feel so... rejuvenating?' Damien thought to himself as he looked around. Although he was mostly immune to the sunlight, it still made him feel slightly uncomfo...

102. Blood Portal

With immense inertia and a loud pop, the world returned to normal. The Fallen Angel vanished, and only an exhausted Victor stood within the Ravenhall ballroom. Damien lay asleep in Fay's embrace on the floor.

Victor turned on his heel, and a portal appeared with a snap of his fingers. Before walking through, he looked over his shoulder at the furious Fay and chuckled, "We will meet again, young one, as I cannot dally otherwise, the administrator will forcefully remove me." He then mutte...

Book 2 (official) cover art

Did the text myself in paint in 5 mins, might re-do it at some point but the artwork is finally finished! 

101. Ancestor

[A/N] Hello, I am graduating from University on Friday, so I wasn't sure if I would be free to post the chapter so you can have it two days early :)

With the formations gone, only crude stone walls and a medieval iron gate stood between a horde of Thralls and the city of Staedbergh. Damien passively watched from within the inner wall alongside hundreds of people as a Thrall gripped the iron bars with its pale veiny hands.

Its face was sickly gaunt and ferocious, like a ...

Cover art + New upload schedule

Hello everyone, I have some happy news for myself but sad news for you guys. I am finally taking a step back from writing Damien. I have consistently been writing it for seven months now, and I am tired and bored of it. But! I want to write it to completion and not let you guys down too much by disappearing out of the blue, soooo here's the compromise. I will upload one chapter a week on Fridays of Damien Nightshade. Any extra chapters I write of it will be uploaded ...

(Lich) Chapter 6. A Grand Escape

Kieran spent many years watching the lich perform a variety of magic during the inheritance. However, he only realised a fatal flaw in his plan upon sitting down and attempting to craft his first magic circle.

"Watching isn't the same as doing! How do I even condense my mana? The lich made it look so easy. Now that I think about it, my Father used to watch cooking shows all the time, but he couldn't even microwave beans correctly!"

Kieran forced himself to calm down. He was a lich...

100. Control Mage

Damien had an arm under Fay and Olympia's chests as he flew through the massive hole towards one of its rock faces; slowly being pulled up the slanted surface by a cable was a metal box on crude rails. As he approached the elevator, he whispered to Fay, "Activate your mist."

She nodded and softly chanted the spell, "ᚠᛟᚷ ᛞᛟᛗᚨᛁᚾ (Fog Domain)". Within seconds a dense mist appeared all around them, even Damien found it somewhat difficult to traverse the mist, but the low s...

Chapter Delay

Chapter 100 will come out tomorrow. (Already almost finished just needs a re-read and touch-up + another 400 words or so...I could release it now but didn't want chapter 100 to be rushed.)

Future updates on chapters and stuff will be done through discord to avoid spamming you guys with email notifications.

Hope you had a good weekend :)

99. Night of Slaughter

The endless tunnels of the Staedbergh dungeon echoed with signs of battle and screams of bloodshed. Like bees attracted by the sweet scent of an exquisite flower, groups of Delvers followed the cries and found themselves headless on the cold stone. Many corpses remained ravaged, but those in good condition rose once more after a quick bite.

Olympia kept low to the ground, avoiding the soft glow from the glowstone above. Her strawberry blonde hair flowed with her movements as she ran tow...

98. Child of Nightshade

"Finally!" Damien yelled as the group entered a cavern filled with orange light.

Jake Ravenhall turned around with the most curious expression on his ugly mug, "Something catch your eye, Nobleman?"

"Salvation." Damien walked forward with his arms out wide, "No longer shall I clap as you slay a weak beast! This farce ends now."

Damien could hardly contain his excitement; he ran a hand through his hair and chuckled wildly to himself, "Scion of a Baron family? Pathetic, C-grade...

97. Staedbergh Dungeon

"Back so soon?"

Damien pinched the bridge of his nose in frustration, "Yes, dear sister, I am back. Did you miss me? Actually, don't answer that." He was annoyed at his lack of foresight in the matter and could only sigh, "Sister... have  you gotten complete control over the vessel and its mind?"

The albino guild master nodded, "More or less. I can hear him ranting and raving to me, which is somewhat distracting, but his memories are well organised, just like his off...

96. A Devious Plot

"I'm coming! Stop bashing the fucking door!" The man pulled his fur-lined coat tighter as he stumbled down the stairs. He put his arms in search of the handrail and wearily placed his feet one at a time into the darkness. The wooden floor creaked under his step as he carefully avoided empty tables and misplaced chairs.

Thump thump

"For fuck sake-" he tripped over a discarded beer mug and knocked his knee on a table, "AH- You fucking- fuck me, that hurts A...

95. Scarlet eyes

Within a dense canopy of trees, a group of men who reeked of sweat and mud lounged around a poorly constructed fire. The crackling of wood drowned out their rumbling stomachs.

A sudden rustling of leaves alerted the exhausted men, and a young boy covered in wounds and wearing tattered clothes shouted with a strained voice, "Goldtooth! An armoured convoy attacked us-" The boy stumbled forward and crashed next to the fire, passing out from fatigue.

Goldtooth was an older man with a ...

94. Blackthorn's Assassin

[Author Note: Hello! I am on holiday at the moment but whipped up this chapter for you guys, next chapter will be on the 27th hopefully. Keep in mind I haven't had time to fully read over and edit this chapter, anyway enjoy!]

Charlotte desperately tried to control her breathing; her knuckles were white as she clenched the bedframe in fear. She tried to divert her gaze from that thing in the sky that gazed upon everything.

A man in a red wine suit holding a blac...

93. (Interlude) An Oshal Spy

As springtime began to grace the wastelands, a convoy of carriages was on the move.

"Milady." A voice insisted and shook a sleeping woman, "Milady, wake up!"

"Wa?"

The old man shook her shoulder, "Milady, we have arrived at Blackthorn."

The woman rubbed the sleepiness out of her eyes, "Alright, alright, I got it, hands off me."

The man stepped back with fear in his eyes, "Milady, I can hear noises from the front; they seem to be doing checks."

The ...

Book 2

Hey everyone, I know a lot of you don't check in on RR/Scribble anymore and only read chapters here so I just wanted to do a quick update.

The picture above is the TEMPORARY (since I don't own it) cover art for book 2, yes it's Vanity in that picture, or at least that is very close to what she looks like. Once I finish writing book 2 I will get around to hiring a cover artist to make actual cover art for me.

Book 1 ended on chapter 75 and I am currently going back and e...

92. Vampires don't wear clothes

The room was silent, and nobody dared to make a sound; despite their usual boldness, even the Thornvlad twins remained tight-lipped.

Damien felt smaller and smaller under his sister's judgmental gaze. She crossed her legs and inspected her nails one by one. After the silence had become awkward, she spoke while studying her hand. "Why?"

Damien frowned, "Why what?"

Her scarlet eyes met his, "Why do you wish to kill this Prince? The only possible reason I can fathom is that you...

Where did you come from?

Hello, just doing some market research. What platform did you originally use to read Damien Nightshade?

91. Vampire Vacation

Damien awoke to the chirping of birds and the warmth of the midday sun. His head was buried into a feather cushion, and his hair covered his face. He tried to open his eyes with a groan, but his head was pounding, and his stomach growled; he needed blood.

Damien didn't even have to open his eyes to know he was alone. He couldn't hear Fay's heartbeat or her calm breaths. He pushed himself out of bed with a groan and, without even bothering to cover himself, grabbed the glass on the side ...

(Lich) Chapter 5: Skellies First Steps

Kieran emerged from the stone coffin, and his blue fire eyes scanned the dark chamber. Kieran could tell the room had been carved into the rock from the jagged walls and uneven ceiling.

Kieran gripped the edges of the coffin with his skeletal hands and tried to push himself out. His hands slipped and scraped across the stone with little resistance. 'Darn, these bones provide no grip!' After cursing, he scrambled out from the coffin's depths and found himself on two feet.

...

90. Sister?

Vanity lay within the wooden carriage with a man between her legs. His clean-shaven face rested on her bare chest, and she gently stroked his head. Her calm, warm breath tickled the man's ear, "Beg human, beg for your pathetic life to end; it's only merciful of me."

"Please... please...." the man pleaded, "Just kill me... please...."

She cupped his heart with her claw and felt its frantic beat in her hand. This ration had been most entertaining compared to the others. It had taken...

(Lich) Chapter 4: A New Beginning

Over the past millennia, the lich had slaughtered thousands of cultivators, from mere Peasants and Scholars that could hardly resist zombies' claws to the aloof Viscounts and Earls that ruled over the various Sects that dotted the land.

None could resist the immortal armies' advance, and with every fallen Sect, thousands would join the ranks of the dead to serve their new overlord.

Kieran had watched the lich eliminate the Sects without raising his hand. Even cultivators of the Ea...

(Lich) Chapter 3: The Wrath of Heaven

Imagine watching a reality TV show about a mad scientist. Now imagine you watch this TV show without a single break or rest. Did you get that picture in your head? Okay good. Now imagine there are eight thousand seasons with three hundred episodes a season, and each episode is twenty-four hours long.

Kieran was living a nightmare.

Sometimes, the lich would sleep for months or years and then spend a year straight creating abominations or raising his magical knowledge.

And Kie...

89. A Vampires Pride

There are countless ways to enrage a Vampire.

Damien sat crossed-legged on his bed, with Fay sleeping peacefully by his side. It should have been a night like any other, Damien would cultivate while searching through his memories. Combining many centuries' worth of interactions was tedious, but the occasional memory reignited a little bit of Damiens instincts.

And through these memories and increasing his Blood magic, Damien knew Vampires were extraordinarily territorial and pride...

(Lich) Chapter 2: A Lich's Inheritance

{Current progress: 0%}

{Time limit: 100 years}

{Failure will result in the destruction of the host's soul.}

After reading through the mission, he mentally sighed with relief, 'A hundred years should be enough... assuming the system isn't expecting me to turn this world into an intergalactic empire! Hopefully? Surely not...'

Mentally closing the ominous quest, Kieran focused on his status screen.

88. Thunderstruck

Oshal's Capital city, Aizska, is well known throughout the peninsula for its interesting topography. Magic is power, both economically and politically. Therefore kingdoms and empires build their capital cities upon leylines. These leylines replace the consumed mana and stop capital cities from becoming mana wastelands within years.

Just like Kassinki's capital city, Leylines also lie below Aizska's surface. But due to the Leylines being unmovable, the original settlers of Oshal had litt...

87. Morning Pleasure

A slight jolt of pain awakens Fay from her lengthy slumber. Yet she does not panic. Why should she? Every morning begins with pain; it is merely routine. But to Fay's delight, the pain is followed by the utmost pleasure.

It begins from her neck and radiates from there; the two pinpricks from Damien's fangs greedily suck away her blood, but they also deposit a little of his delectable blood behind.

Usually, Fay can endure the ecstasy 2022-05-30 23:35:16 +0000 UTC View Post
