Matador unexpectedly passed yesterday

Terrell tragically died yesterday. His family is devastated. In the weeks to come we will try to get the last of his chapters out to you all.

Psycho Duel Chapter 49: Gloves Off

The Skeletal Hulkbeast, a grotesque titan backlit by the moon, raised its bone fists over its head and brought them down on Mr. Fang and his wolf mount. There was a thunderous boom that cracked across the ground and the Bloodhound was thrown from his mount with the shatter attack.

But, then to Walt’s surprise, his gauntlet flared and then a neon pink card streaked from the Bloodhound, spinning like a shuriken.

Psycho Duel Chapter 48: We Have Company

Walt hurried out of his room, heading for the back deck. Rick was still awake. He was at the kitchen table, where an assortment of hand guns and rifles were laid out. The spread of firepower made Walt do a double-take. Rick was in the process of meticulously cleaning them.

Rick looked up from his work, a cloth in his hand and a piece of a gun in the other. “Everything alright?”

“We have company,” Walt said.

At that moment, a knock from the back deck caught his attent...

Psycho Duel Chapter 47: The Metagame Clock

Walt’s mother fell asleep in the recliner in the den, but before she dozed off, she seemed to be blissed out in her own personal heaven with both her kids in the same room as her. At one point she asked “when is their father coming in off the lake?” and they played along, Janice replying, “Any minute now.”

“Good,” their mother had said. “But he better not be dragging any mud in with him. I’ll ring his neck if he dirties the kitchen floor again.”

Walt shared a l...

Psycho Duel Chapter 46: Witchhounds

The rifle shots intended for Rick were still echoing across the water. In the distance, a murmuration of blackbirds flew out of the trees. Concentric ripples spread from the rocking boat across the calm surface of the lake.

Rick’s hands trembled. He looked between Elrich and the two bodies in the boat with the swordsman, one headless and the other a withered husk, and Walt, who was hurrying onto the boat dock, shouting, “He’s with me!”

Walt ran to the edge of the dock, ple...

Psycho Duel Chapter 45: Stormbreaker

Walt didn’t want to alarm his family so he summoned Elrich Ehrmantraut in the boat shed on the edge of the water behind the cabin. He had to protect his family, but he knew he couldn’t do it alone. A card-summoned bodyguard on duty who could not only keep an eye on his family, but also watch his back, would be a great help. At the same time, he didn’t want his mother or brother-in-law Rick to get scared by a strange, otherworldly warrior summoned from his gauntlet. His mother’s brain ...

Incoming Patron Message…

Accept Message From Patron C. Melchiorre

Y/N?

Walt accepted. The iris panel opened again, displaying a new holomessage. A middle-aged moonfaced woman was up close to her recording device. Then she leaned back and blinked.

Her icy blue eyes had a certain magnetism. They seemed capable of piercing through his skin and seeing his soul. Her skin was smooth. Well-moistur...

Psycho Duel Chapter 43: Off Grid

**Everyone have a Merry Christmas!**

“Let’s talk about this.”

“What’s there to talk about?” Janice said. “Our family is in danger. I need to know how to use one of these gauntlets.”

Walt searched for the right words.

Janice pressed. “I need to know how to use the cards.”

“It’s too dangerous.”

Janice’s mouth went slack and she shook her head, looking at Walt like she didn’t recognize him. “You’ve gr...

Psycho Duel Chapter 42: The Slaycast, Episode Two

“How long was I asleep for?” Walt said.

Janice watched him guzzle more water and wolf down the scrambled eggs. “You slept for a whole day. And honestly, I didn’t know if you were going to wake up or not.”

Walt was ravenous. All the non-stop duels and fights for survival had depleted his body. He grunted and started on the biscuits and gravy. It was like mana from heaven. His sister watched him eat. She pulled out a pack of Camel Lights and tapped out a cigarette.

Psycho Duel Chapter 41: The Court of the Silver Tongue

Calix Nephus licked the front of his silver teeth and took a sip of what the NPC servant called a ‘mint julep’. He cut a delicate and rake-thin figure, sitting in the velvet chair in the library of Belmont Mansion. His card gauntlet pulsed with a silver light, resting on the baroque arm of the throne-like chair.

One of his patrons provided him with geographical and sociological intel concerning the area he had landed in twenty-four hours ago. This Nashville wasn’t the most populou...

Walt was tired, his reserves of energy nearly drained. But his will to live and the last droplets of adrenaline coursing through his veins kept him from lying down and welcoming sweet oblivion.

The pig, formerly the Gnomesucker, snorted, rooting around the ground for mushrooms at his feet. “Wel...

Psycho Duel Chapter 37: We Duel At Night

It was a tense but awkward moment as Walt and the Thaumaturgist stared each other down, the cell phone tower in flames below them. He could tell she was scanning him, pulling up his identity, record and class.

“An NPC who actually passed all his Trials!” Shae said. She was taken aback. She looked from her system read-out, her pupils returning to normal to gaze at him in a new light. Her lips tightened with suspicion. “This Earth has card games, doesn’t it?”

There was ano...

Psycho Duel Chapter 36: It Begins With a Handshake

Walt had mixed feelings about riding Grimscale. On one hand, flying on the wyvern was exhilarating. The mount travelled at a scary speed, even when compared to his Boots of Nemora. They had covered sixty miles in half an hour. On the other hand, Grimscale had tried to kill him when it was under control of the Bloodhound. Walt could still remember the sensation of the wyvern’s teeth sinking into his flesh.

Crossville, where Walt’s sister and mother had gone, was almost one hundred mi...

Psycho Duel Chapter 35: Extra Features

“Now can I go?” Aimee said. “Now that I’ve answered all your questions?”

“A moment,” Walt said. He gestured at Richard and they stepped off to the side out of earshot. He looked back at Aimee who was sitting at the table, fiddling with her gauntlet.

“What do you think?” Walt said.

“She held up her end,” Richard said. “Let her go and we can continue to Nashville.”

Walt thought of Janice and his mother, most likely bunkered down at the cabin in ...
