I wouldn’t call myself a ‘party person’.
I’d never even gone out clubbing or bar crawling outside of VR.
Alcohol just wasn’t my thing, not to mention the taste was just a bit too off-putting.
However, there was something different about tonight.
Maybe it was the fact that the main attraction — alcohol — was a physical impossibility for me.
Or maybe it was the simple fact that this wasn’t your typical bar, club, pub, let alone a <...

Author’s Note: Hey everyone! There’s only been a few edits in this one but as always I’d recommend you guys give this another read through! :D Most of the edits were simply done to improve on the flow, with a few bits and pieces rephrased here and there! Most of the edits, as always, were done to correct for grammar or spelling mistakes, and of course, punctuation and such! :D As always, all of the edits are highlighted with underlines in order to tell what’s been revised! :D

Author’s Note: Hey everyone! There’s been some BIG changes in this chapter! So I do recommend you guys re-read it! Almost all of the major changes were done to the last bit of the chapter, i.e. the Goldthorn’s section! Long story short, I decided to completely rewrite that section in order to better deliver the plot points and vibes I wanted to get across! Moreover, I also wanted to really lean into how exhausting and dangerous the act of temporarily inhabiting the soul of anoth...

The cold hit me first — a hundred tiny daggers poking, jabbing, and pricking at the skin beneath my fur.

Author’s Note: Hey everyone! There’s been a few big revisions here, though none of them were to the content of the chapter, but mostly just revisions made in order to improve the actual wording, flow, and phrasing of things! You can see the biggest of these changes in how I describe the EVI’s new ‘wand-sight’, as I felt like it needed improvements to how it was shown. In addition, I also added a small little mention by Emma in order to explain why the EVI is currently reluct...

Hey everyone!
So ever since I started reading sci fi and fantasy, I’ve always had this fascination about those types of stories — both paperback and online — that had maps and visual illustration references incorporated in them!
I’m especially a massive fan of when authors use like ‘live’ maps showing adventuring parties or exploratory fleets moving around a map, as it not only grounded the world and gave much needed visual illustration on something as large and ...
