I'll be working it out as I go along, so I really have no idea.

Now writing: Year of the Chest #10

Planned chapter highlights:

The setup and prelude to the big fight. Maybe even the first round. We'll see.

This is a tricky one and there will probably be a whole lot of rewriting involved while I figure it out, so bear with me.

Now writing: Year of the Chest #9

Planned chapter highlights:

Shapeshifter road trip with Stain.

Setup for the big fight.

Now writing: Year of the Chest #8

As does someone else?!

A Sneak Peek at all Legendary Perks

Howdy folks. I've been brainstorming a bit what the other Legendary Perks would be (which is why Year of the Chest #4 has been blank for a while now, sorry about that). To begin with, here are the two that have already been introduced:

Legendary Endurance
Description: A being whose vitality and constitution are the stuff of legends.
Requirements: Reach 1,000 Endurance (END).
Effects: Increases poison and disease resistance by 75%.
Increases stamina recovery rate by...

Now writing: Year of the Chest #4

Planned chapter highlights:

The battle is a brief one, but ends with Boxxy's identity as a Hero being exposed before Zone & co manage to escape.

We see the aftermath of the attack, where we explain why the Gilded Hand was after Nao and how the FIB intercepted them.

Some time passes, then the Sandman gets contacted by an old acquaintance with an offer it would not want to refuse.

Now writing: Year of the Chest #3

Planned chapter highlights:

The party gets attacked by human insurgents (big surprise), but the elves' Foreign Intelligence Bureau shows up to stop them and it becomes a massive brawl.

Keira and Nao get surrounded, only to be saved by a literal deus ex machina.

The Sandman makes an appearance to protect hist interests, but then Zone shows up since the operation has gone tits-up.

Where it goes from here, is anyone's guess.

Now writing: Year of the Chest #2

Planned chapter highlights:

Continuing from the previous one, we explore the newly created Artifact.

A bit of extra filler and some additional groping until the new year rolls around.

We finally get to the ominous foreshadow-y bit.

Planned chapter highlights:

Boxxy performs demonic rituals to get rid of its excess Attributes.

Keira and Rowana attend the new year's party (great timing amirite?) featuring lots of big-shots and sexy dresses.

Nao is there and he reveals his new enchantment.

But while everyone is having fun, someone is watching the proceedings from the shadows.

Now writing Interlude: Reunions Are Always Awkward

Some of you may recognize this chapter as one that I mostly wrote but did away with since it was rather tangental to the ongoing storyline. I'll rewrite it a little so that it's more about succubi and succubi 'culture' rather than Boxxy's pursuit of shiny and/or tasty things.

Planned chapter highlights:

Xera and Kora come to a succubus village to seek information about Alraune.

Xera meets her mom, and is forced into doing kinky stuff with her. This may or may not unlock another lay...

Sneak peek at Amazon-exclusive chapter for Volume 2 of ELLC

Author's note: This one takes place immediately after the chapter 'Chaos 6' of the online version. It's the point where Boxxy and Fizzy were given their divine task to slay the lich with the promise of Hero-ism on the line. Keep in mind this is still a draft and is subject to change.

Interlude - A Matter of Faith

Edward Allen, Royal Spymaster to the Lodrak Empire, was currently standing in a wide-open courtyard at the back of the imperial palace, and was sternly looking towards a griff...

An explanation on how Spells and magical elements work. Sort of.

'Shall we test the mysterious pink gem that may or may not be a magical nuke?'

Now writing Everybody Loves Large Chests: Knowledge Is Power #8

Planned chapter highlights:

The two Heroes have a study session!

It's gonna be a bit heavy on the infodumping and exposition, because there are a lot of topics I want to cover here:

-The identity of the pink gem
-Nao's hero skills
-Level fatigue
-Magical elements and the relationships between them
-Elemental aptitude (surprise - Boxxy's is abnormal)
-Bit of enchanting as well

Sneak peek at upcoming Fizzy tansformation

The first of the psycho golem's new forms upon getting the Physical Augmentation Module, which will be called either 'service' or 'maintenance' mode.

It's a shape that lets her work on her machines without worrying about all that extra bulk getting in the way. Her eyes also have a built in 'zoom-and-enhance' function, allowing her to better perceive minute details. Incidentally, it also helps her blend in a bit better in civilized society. The downside is that her combat abilities suffer great...

Before we start, I would like to ask you guys to leave behind some feedback, as I'm not 100% sure whether what goes on here makes logical sense.

Planned chapter highlights:

Boxxy deals with Reggie and gets the deets on the soulstone situation.

After that it's time for another road trip, because there ain't no rest for the wicked. Money don't grow on trees.
It's got bills to pay, it's got a mouth to feed, and there's nothin' in this world for free.
So it can't slow down, it ca...
