A/N: happy late Halloween guys ;)

After the rather tense meeting with the Cobweb, the group rented rooms as far away from the port as possible.
The Copper Dragon inn was a fine place in Simon’s opinion. A three-story building located near the city’s western gates to cater to inland merchants and visitors,...

“I say we should attack at once,” Hel said the moment the gods gathered to discuss their findings. “We have enough Champions that can survive the lunar atmosphere, and Wepwawet can bless them all with his Perk. We send a crack team and blow up his Idol while he least expects it.”
“Our conventional forces aren’t in place for a full-scale a...

Reading Louis’ file in the dining car proved to be an interesting experience.
The eldest of the imperial princes at twenty-six years of age and the first child of Balzam and Eleanor Magnos, Louis had learned to wield a sword and cast a spell almost as soon as he began to walk. He received his Hellblade Crestone at eight and was knighted a...
2025-10-29 19:07:47 +0000 UTC View PostHeya everyone,
Just a small update to tell you that I'm going to slow down a bit for the foreseeable future when it comes to new chapters.
Hundred Reigns is flowing super well and I would like to keep that pace until I hit the 40+ chaps backlog I wish to reach before publication, but it also interferes with the current three mandatory chapters a day schedule I have with B&C, which is causing some fatigue on that story.
On top of that, TPR gaming & ...

A/N: full disclosure, I'm feeling some fatigue on this story and I feel recent chapters haven't been up to quality, likely due to the schedule on top of writing Hundred Reigns + TPR game stuff that keeps coming, so Board & Conquest will move to a Tuesday/Saturday schedule (I'll post Thursday chapters if ready, if not I won't)...

Simon was in a foul mood all the way to his departure. Balzam Magnos had been right, his letter had hurt Simon like few things ever did.
‘I still have her skull stashed somewhere in Castle Frightwall, if you know where to look.’
He had asked Lady Shabram if she had any idea where his mother’s skull could h...

Simon was getting sick of fire.
How many times had he perished by flames at this point? Four times, five? Each time worse than the last.
When he found himself facing the Crimson Throne again, Simon could only muster a gaping sense of anguish. He had lost the happiest life he had ever had.
He had lost Anna.
Would she be the same per...

Hestia’s Heart was both the right mix of family-friendly and exclusive.
Artemis had booked a table on the uppermost floor, right next to an open window offering the couple a splendid view of Mount Olympus. The area was decorated in a subdued, artsy Greek style with plenty of columns, marble statues, and even an indoor...

Simon could see the fires from leagues away.
The largest port on the Berwick Islands’ northwest was the city of Balmos, home to over fifty thousand inhabitants according to the latest imperial census. While most of Lord Magnos’ war navy docked in Carcas, Balmos still hosted quite a few galleys meant to intercept whoever dared to attack the...

The end of the current Hundred Reigns arc is just around the corner, so here's a new poll for you to decide on the next arc. I'm putting three options to avoid the tight deadlock of last time, and it'll close when the next chapter comes out, whenever that'll be ;)
Options not taken may or may not reappear in future polls, no promises

And so began the preparations for Operation Artemis.
While the pantheon decided to directly repair Thoon’s ship in the Wyld rather than to move it to avoid the risk of revealing its existence to the world—the jungle providing ample cover—Horus’s flying island of Sekhem was chosen as the assembly place and launching point ...

Simon returned to the surface with three walking corpses and a frightening story to tell.
It sickened him that he had to animate his own retainers’ remains with necromancy, but there was no other way to transport them all from the Poison Gardens’ depths to Castle Carcas above without such a measure due to the lack of monsters th...

Wepwawet ordered a class meeting, and everyone answered his call.
Ganesha and Artemis showed up first, followed by Ishtar and Horus—the latter being noticeably tense, likely because his observatories had been busy checking Glatisant’s ‘Season of Dragonstars’ theory. The Epona-Anansi-Hel axis arrived next, with Sun Wukong naturally arr...

Things settled into a happy routine for most of his first month in the Berwick Islands.
After the dawn prayer, Simon would spend his mornings either holding court with Anna—and sometimes her father—listening to grievances and arbitrating them, or training with his retainers. He would then eat with visiting dignitaries from around the Berwic...

Lord Maublanc Paimon didn’t hide his surprise once they reported their discovery to him. “You have found a stairway into the Poison Gardens inside Eleanor’s sarcophagus?”

It was a heavy burden to be born a dragon in a world of minions.

He dreamed of his father again.
He was younger, not yet the grey corpse he saw at the beginning of each reign. He was a red lion of a man, the spitting image of Louis’ handsome features merged with Dassein’s bulk. His face was twisted into a snarl of rage as his hands closed around Simon’s throat. He recalled coughing and kicking and sc...

They had dug up the tomb.
It had taken the better part of the day and reinforcements arriving to help secure the perimeter, but Victoire and her allies had uncovered a massive structure buried deep beneath the jungle and the murk: a blackstone pyramid about the size of Lord Wepwawet’s own Idol, with four horn-like claws reach...

Simon could have sworn time had stopped for an instant. He could feel the sweat on his forehead.
“I don’t understand,” he lied.
“You do,” Lord Paimon replied without care or pity. “Show it to me.”
He knows. Somehow, he knows. Does he want to kill me and take the Class? Or did Father inform him? <...

Simon set three goals for himself on his seventh reign: defang Vouivre’s conspiracy, ensure Anna wouldn’t be trapped in a marriage with Thalas, and obtain a Perk that would let him gain experience more quickly.
And he had figured out a way to do all three at once.
Simon struggled to keep a straight face when his family gathered to li...

Every day of Vestri’s life was a waking nightmare.
It always began at dawn, with his legs moving him out of bed and his arms feeding him more food than he needed, since he was eating for two now. His hands would then put a beanie on top of his messy hair to better hide the thing, and then he would sleepwalk his way to the go...

Casval frowned. “You’re saying that only a female kish can control the power within?”

Casval was a shadow of his sister.
Simon could tell the difference in the way she quickly absorbed the incredible news of his father’s death and regained her composure, her thoughts immediately turning back to practical matters.

“Euphemia and Louis,” Simon replied. He k...

Anna didn’t invite Casval to her ‘study session,’ which allowed Simon to relax a bit. He could finally enjoy a night of revelry without worrying about assassinations or working for level-ups.

Casval wasn’t human.
Simon already knew that since the night he saw him rise into the air with wings and a tail, but now that he spent his days befriending the traitor, he had begun to pick on startling details about him.
