Drip-Fed - The Hunt 12

The cart rolled over the streets. Apexus could feel every bump, every depression and even every slant in the road in his liquid form. With eyes and ears basically useless, little managed to get through the layers of corn sacks that had been heaved on top of their confinement, his tremor sense was working to compensate.

Which only made the entire experience even more unpleasant.

Not a single word was spoken. They weren’t supposed to move nor do anything else that could make any s...

Aclysia Side Story - The Maidening 3 – A place of maids

“See, you should have just done the sensible thing and stabbed me right when you could,” Umanien mocked Aclysia across the space between them. They had no arena, not even a hastily assembled ring of tires on the ground, instead they just stood in the middle of the littered green area. The commotion quickly spread as gossip from one person to another.

A crowd of about twenty people, predominantly female, gathered with their backs against the wall. Aclysia heard them shout a series of...

Aclysia Side Story - The Maidening 2 – A place of dirty deeds

The first thing that Aclysia greeted in the building was the smell of booze, lots of booze. It mingled with half-fried electronics, oil and the iron smell of recent welding to create the impression of a proper workshop. Half-built engines stood all around the room, more were yet found in the bodies of motorbikes in several states of assembly.

By contrast, the first sound she heard was the familiar ‘waka-waka’ of Pacman, followed by the game over sound and someone hitting the side of...

Drip-Fed - The Hunt 11

“I hope you’re ready to get nice and comfortable,” Trebby announced when he came back a few hours later. Shortly thereafter, he guided the trio through numerous tunnels in the underground. The bodyguards were always looking at Apexus, crawling along, despite having a redheaded tiger girl with pretty open weaponry around. “Because getting three people out of the city at once is going to be a bit more difficult.”

“What, I thought you were good at what you do?” Reysha teased ...

Who a King must do - Chapter 25 – Regretful Spirits

Their departure from Booty Bay as sudden as their arrival. As much as he would have loved to take his newly bred goblin with him, Anduin had to leave the baroness where she was so she could actually start the whole integration effort. He also left Aclysia with her, just to make sure she was that extra bit secure.

They returned to Stormwind by the night of the same day. The hulks speed was truly awe-inspiring and with its size and firepower, it would be a valuable asset in the next month...

Aclysia Side Story – The Maidening 1 – A place of great opportunity

The Small Lake Pact had its centre of operation at the body of water that it derived its name from. Lake Champlain, that was the actual name used by the normal people, was located close to the Canadian border. An actually quite large lake, ninth biggest in the entire country, it simply seemed small next to the Great Lakes not far to the west of it. Nevertheless, it was large enough to have eighty islands of varying sizes inside its blue expanse.

Spread over these eighty islands was the ...

Fun is an idiot and here is why (19.07.2019)

This is public for maximum self-chastising...

You can all read this? Rave wins, Chemilia and Ted coming second, Beatrice and distant third and Aclysia DEAD LAST with less than half of the votes of the first place, yes?

Well, apparently I could as well, but my brain, evidently, has a bunch of holes in it. While the Author's Note originally did say "Side Story for Rave", I instead wrote a ...

Author’s Note – Season 3 Arc 4 – Separation

I feel like I have a lot of things to address this time around, but no idea if that will actually pan out in a lengthy author’s note… We’ll see.

First things first, for those of you unaware, I write this way ahead of the official release. As a rule of thumb, I am 25 chapters ahead of the CHYOA release and 20 of the 10$+ Patrons. It is the 18th of June as I am writing this, chapter 4 of the arc has just released, titled Apologies, it is a day of thunderstorms and humidity here in n...

The Gamer Chapter 574 - Arc 4 Epilogue – The Victory of the Failure

John looked at the former sacred site with one open eye. He only had the package of contact lenses in his inventory, so this was the best he had been able to do. Unsurprisingly, the entire thing was a wreck. Mostly the floor, which was probably the least valuable part of the structure. It had been reduced from one massive stone to diced and shattered chunks John could quite easily see working to cobble a street.

A massive gap at one side, with molten stone and charred wood ...

The Gamer Chapter 573 – Separation Finale – Blood from Bone [Thana POV]

Thana hated herself. Immensely, deeply, absolutely, with every last bit of energy of the millions of last thoughts that made her up did she hate herself. The depth of it could very well have been the deepest point of the Abyss.

Because she started to be human.

Time seemed to stand still. Her body struggled while her mind stood in the mirrored ocean of souls.

It was much emptier than usual, and in that, Thana knew her weakness. The ritual had stopped, but the separated souls ...

Drip-Fed - The Hunt 10

They travelled as fast as they could and with minimal pause. Only once during the entire trip did they stop to sleep and rest, as Apexus himself needed to get some shut eye, at all other times, they were moving. Either with Aclysia and Apexus flying low to the ground, with Reysha running underneath, or with the two of them carrying the tiger girl as she slept as best she could while moving.

Not more than two days, then the Hunter would have come over the sea and be able to chase them wi...

I LOVE this one. After Siena, might be my favourite elemental done so far, although it's neck in neck with Salamander. I used the "Safe for Work" version for the preview, just out of caution, but the actual image has her with ladybits. Both are includ...

The Gamer Chapter 572 – Separation 10 – Escaped

‘Sylph, pull back one metre,’ John dictated, standing with his hands in his pockets in the field. What he thought, the thunderstorm elemental immediately put into action, darting away and ending the lightning barrage. It had been ineffective anyway, entering one of Seminaris’ portals and exciting again right above the earth. ‘Salamander, fireball, measure the strength. I need smoke, not flame.’

‘Roger that, boss,’ his fire spirit answered and conjured the attack as fast as...

The Gamer Chapter 571 – Separation 9 – Sacrificed [Sigmund POV]

The Contender only glanced at the depression in the ground left by his beloved Seminaris and her teleportation. It was a scarily smooth, half-orbital thing, as if somebody had scooped an ice-cream spoon full of dirt from the world. It was really fortunate that this power couldn’t be used to cut people in half, otherwise Seminaris could make short work with any challenge that came her master’s way.

And Sigmund wouldn’t have wanted that.

His weight caused his feet to sink seve...

Drip-Fed - The Hunt 9

Mehily was feeling ashamed. Not because she had any particularly good reason too. Indeed, she had every reason to feel relieved instead. Yet it was that shame that stuck.

After sighting the chimeric abomination and letting it escape, the trio had returned all the way to Haralry. Although they could have followed Inquisitor Evmeria’s lead, the Cardinal had to be informed about the happenings. Especially about the involvement of Gabrame, whose true reasons for getting involved in this w...

The Gamer Chapter 570 Separation 8 – Prepared

John undid the Possessions he had left along the ascension path. Their purpose had been fulfilled and there was no reason for John to keep spending that mana. Only two more Possessions stayed in place afterwards, his glasses and the coin he had flicked at Ahanu earlier. Even that was separated once John made the coin heavily vibrate in the man’s pocket. After all, the targets had arrived.

That Sigmund was completely restored, from his arm to his eye, was something that John simply too...

WAKMD - Chapter 24 – Booty of Bae

The extra help was something Anduin had no idea how it had slipped by him this past month. Materials, manpower, money, all of these were needed in quantities that they should have passed through his authority at one point or another. He would have been right in old Stormwind, but new Stormwind had about five times the economic power and more than enough labourers that were happy enough to get a whipping as their payment.

Quite literally, as the few dominant women in the society tended t...

The Gamer Chapter 569 – Separation 7 – Invaded [Seminaris POV]

The prior day.

Seminaris was standing atop a building and looking down on a hotel entrance, watching the Gamer and this interesting companion enter. Well, about to enter. The small girl stopped for a moment and looked in Seminaris’ direction. Standing perfectly still, she trusted in the invisibility that the other woman on the roof had put around the two of them.

The girl turned around again and Seminaris took one last glance at her aura. John Newman was as strong as ever, a blu...

The Gamer Chapter 568 – Separation 6 – Site

“Here you go.” John’s tone wasn’t just good, it was downright ecstatic, as he flicked something at Ahanu. Catching it barely, the Chieftain-Elect looked at the dime. The heads side of it had a long scratch running over it. John beamed with satisfaction, glasses on his eyes, accompanied by...

Drip-Fed - The Hunt 8

They landed on the first beach they came across. Not out of any immense necessity. Stamina wasn’t the problem, it was a hot day and as a cold-liquided being, as long as the environment was hot, Apexus’ only limit was the food supply. He may very well have been able to go until nightfall and sometime beyond that. In that, it was rather lucky that they had been ejected from the dungeon midday.

No, the reason why they landed was that Reysha desperately needed the break. “Tigers aren�...

The Gamer Chapter 567 – Separation 5 – Discussed

 After about half an hour, John and Eliza were invited back inside and the approval of making a last signal given. Some leaders seemed unhappy with the decision. Well, all leaders looked unhappy with the decision, it was just that they understood that, should push come to shove, this was necessary.

Ahanu and John pretty quickly got a signal agreed on and that discussion was finally done with. Much to John’s relief, nobody brought any further complaints up, potentially slipping th...

The Gamer Chapter 566 – Separation 4 – Planned

There was very little opportunity to keep doubting it, the Hidden Tradition was actually just a bunch of normal, pleasant people. Not universally nice, there were a few amongst the tribe leaders who left a first impression with John that could be briefly summarized as ‘total asshats’, to put it into Eliza’s words. That only served for the Gamer to feel even less threatened. Total sweetness was never genuine, and he decidedly preferred eating cherry cake over munching raw sugar.

Wh...

The Gamer Chapter 565 – Separation 3 – Socialized

“You sure have some convenient powers,” Elu laughed as the car carried them over the highway. It was a large camper van, with high quality furniture, slightly worn down from repeated usage over several years. He, Eliza, Elu and someone she had introduced as her great, great, great grandchild (give or take a few greats) were sitting in the back on a quiet table. Like everything else about the Hidden Tradition, it had genuine charm about it, the smell of fresh coffee mixing with dried grass...

The Gamer Chapter 564 – Separation 2 – Continues

“Okay, slow down,” John was massaging his temples after hearing Eliza out. “First off, where is Nia now?”

“I have no fucking clue,” the pretty, little psycho answered, sitting in the large bathtub and scrubbing herself off with a sponge. The water had an unpleasant red tinge to it, but the steady stream of hot water refilling quickly took care of that. John was waiting until it was clear again to get in. “She was gone when I snapped back out of it.”

Jo...

The Gamer Chapter 563 – Separation 1 – Determined [Eliza POV]

‘Fuck all of this shit, why the fuck does it have to be me, fuck my fucking fuck.’ That was only the middle of Eliza’s thoughts as she sat on her lonesome in the middle of Lake Ravetoria. An absolutely cringeworthy name for the body of water John had created in the west of Liberty Island, which was also an absolutely cringeworthy name.

Her black robe, drenched from the distance she had to swim from the shore to the egg-shaped island in the middle, hung over the branch of a tree. N...

Drip-Fed - The Hunt 7

It was just the dress. No boots, underwear or gloves attached. Quality-wise, there was very little to complain about, it was as soft as spider silk and was easy to put on. It was, however, utterly lacking in any useful enchantments. “Why is this even here?” Aclysia wondered.

“Sometimes dungeons drop items for non-combat Classes or just general items of fine quality,” Reysha explained, continuing even as the metal fairy shot her a glance that the question had been mean...

The Gamer Chapter 562 – Worried friends and common enemies

It wasn’t loud applause, no chants of his name, just the dignified clapping of a moved, empathic crowd. Everyone was in on it, leaving John in awe as he had the possessed sphere fly higher to watch over the crowd. Several people were crying just like he was, more were lost completely to their grief, some simply nodded with appreciation, nobody seemed angry or think he was using this to his advantage like he had feared.

Was it his raised Charisma that made his emotions be genuinely rel...

The Gamer Chapter 561 – Legacy

The rest of the day came and went, then the Saturday passed as well. Thankfully, days without any happenings aside from John returning to the paperwork mines. Everyone relaxed a little bit, prepared for the tasks they had been assigned. Ted and Chemilia sparred with Rave or Aclysia to get used to their new limbs. Everything was progressing smoothly, including the things necessary for a task John wasn’t looking forward to.

On Sunday John got the note that the clean-up of t...

WAKMD Chapter 23 – Southern Thorns

Anduin was sucking on Jaina’s tits. Although no milk had yet started leaking from them, something looked forwards to with perverse curiosity, his first wife was now just over four months pregnant. Over three weeks had passed since the visit to Ironforge and since then her already sizable breasts had swollen by a noticeable degree. They lost a bit of firmness in the process, but the drooping wasn’t unattractive, just gave her a motherly charm as her belly began to bulge in accordance.

The Gamer Chapter 560 – Assured

John Newman put a fresh card into the cheap flip phone he had just bought and punched in a number that he had memorized. Finger hovering over the call button, he was re-thinking playing this particular card for this occasion, but given the importance of it all, he did press and moved the phone to his ear. Anticipatingly, he listened to the repeated ‘tuuuut’ of the phone.

Walking down the street, John heard the receiver picking up after exactly thirty seconds. “This be...
