Galatea 2 - Chapter 4

CHAPTER 4: UPDATED RESULTS

The dorm room was quiet. So quiet that people other than Audrey could now hear a pin drop should it occur.

Vanessa, who had finally looked at Audrey and Brian after coming clean with her true intentions, found her eyes drifting back to the bedspread, focusing on nothing in particular.

Finally, Brian found the right words. “Vanessa… is this because you want to be prettier than Audrey? Don’t let that dick at the bar get to you, you’re still...

Galatea 2 - Chapter 3

CHAPTER 3: HYPOTHESIS

Audrey was backed into a corner of the unusually empty student dorm lounge. There was no one around to help her—Vanessa and Brian were noticeably absent. The only recognizable person within view was the man actively threatening her, Patton Robinson.

He pivoted forward, his firm grasp locking Audrey’s skinny arm in place. The height advantage she should have had over him was gone, as was the beauty she had cultivated from the virus. She was as plain as b...

Control Part 1

Here's the first part of 3!(4!?) Enjoy! Hopefully, part 2 will be out by this month as well.

Includes a download link for a PDF version if that's your fancy!

Galatea 2 - Chapter 2

CHAPTER 2: CONTROL GROUP

“'Ness!! So glad you could make it, bestie!” Audrey exclaimed through the noise of the surrounding party. Despite the blaring music and poor acoustics, the beautiful blonde’s voice somehow pierced through the overwhelming audio. To say her melodious voice was on another level was now more than mere metaphor.

“Wouldn’t miss it for the world, Aud,” Vanessa replied, trying to match her roommate’s cheeriness while nagging thoughts ate away at t...

Galatea 2 - Chapter 1

For those who haven't read the first one, here's your chance! This chapter picks up right where the epilogue to the original left off, so it's crucial to understand what happens next!

The Galatea 2 Grind begins tomorrow!

Much like the original Galatea, I plan on making Galatea 2 compose of 31 short chapters and an epilogue. That means I will be releasing a chapter of Galatea 2 every day next month until the very last day. You can expect chapter one tomorrow, since there's technically 32 chapters if one were to include the epilogue.

Expect a packed December!

Control Character designs!

Here's a reveal of all the major female players in Control, as well as what Maria and Tara's powers will look like since they're very visual. As for what Kana will look like after she takes control... well, you'll just have to wait and see ;]

Consensus, Day 2-1: Package

“Honey, I think I heard the mailman arrive at the door. Could you see if my package arrived?”

Why don’t you see for yourself, lazy ass? Was what Mae wanted to respond with. She literally dealt with mail and packages for her job, was her husband seriously making her deal with them on her day off?

Their relationship was tenuous, to say the least. He was the ultimate breadwinner of the house, making more money through day trading and mortgage speculation. To Mae, that ...

Consensus, Day 1-5: Toll

Mabel scratched her cheek absent-mindedly as her eyes glazed over. She was at a crossroads on her crossword puzzle, stuck at a four down.

They just keep putting all these new-fangled references to the tikky-tocks and the You tubes! Mabel thought as she scoffed amongst herself, a slight echo generating from the empty parking lot. Back in her day, she was the master at these little black and white boxes.

Of course, no one would’ve guessed that “her day” was the 1970s....

What should happen next in A Deal with the Devil?

The previous story ended on a cliffhanger and not even the commissioner is sure where to go from here! So, you guys decide!

There will be a four-year time gap between the 2 parts, in which:

A Deal with the Devil

Commissioned by 10k

Written by HikerAngel

“Sorry sir, the price on the sign is the definitive price. We don’t do handouts here,” the tired lady spoke from the other side of the counter.

“Look, please, I’m only a few coins short. It’s literally the cheapest item you have! You think you could, y’know, cut me some slack just this once? It’s hard finding a good hunting party these days!”

The orc girl just sighed and reached for a dedicated contact spell. ...

The Future of HikerAngel

First off, apologies for the radio silence this month so far, I've been preparing a sizable goddess story where the patrons get to decide its outcome, should be releasing within a few days.

Now, to the meat of the post:

I've been the "new" HikerAngel for over a year now. It certainly hasn't been easy. Trying to do what the original did as if she never left was a herculean task, and I still simply don't think I'm up to the challenge.

When she first offered me the position, I ...

Consensus, Day 1-4: Janitor

Christina rubbed her tired eyes from underneath her glasses as she attempted to retain her grasp on sanity. She was a well-accomplished scientist, the top of her biology and calculus classes respectively. Her photographic memory allowed her to ace any task put in front of her, pulling together the wildest leads and connecting the dots where no other genius would. Fresh out of college, everyone assured her that the world was her oyster.

So why the hell was she a janitor at some stuffy of...

Vote for the November Comic!

Which story would you like to see tackled? Keep in mind, that for longer stories like Super Jaded and Bully, they'll have to be broken into multiple comics that span several months.

Which story should be turned into a comic for November?

Like the title says, list off some titles you'd like to see turned into a comic for next month and I'll create a poll tomorrow with the top suggestions!

Superior, Chapter 12

A contemplative lull washed over my mind as I drove to work the next day.

Last night was like a whirl to me. What to even make of it all? My rival spills her heart about the world she lives in, how all these expectations thrust upon her haven’t made her happy even after getting everything she thought she wanted, and on top of all that reveals everything that I knew about the world was a lie. Amazons exist, they’ve been living among us this entire time, and we’re second-class citiz...

Consensus, Day 1-3: Twins

“Carrie!! Hurry up in there! You always take forever in the shower!”

“Should’ve woken up earlier if you wanted to get the shower first, sis.”

Terri sighed, her defeated hand slowly sliding down the locked door. Her sister was right, but she hated that her sister was always right! They were literally identical twins! They should’ve been finishing each other’s sentences or pulling pranks on people who couldn’t tell the difference between them. Instead, they were fier...

Finding Utopia - Part 2

Commissioned by TRM

My achingly perfect body phased into the reality beyond, though it took a few moments to realize anything had changed. I had gone from space to… more space. This made sense, why would a parallel one be any different? most of my universe was just empty space, anyways.

Empty space where no one could hear me cry.

I needed to keep it together, for the sake of my wife and children’s memories. I had the chance to be something special, to find a wor...

Super Jaded is now available on Amazon!

It's about damn time. This should've happened months ago! But now it's finally here! 

I'm currently working on republishing all of my other stories over there, if I can. Possibly including Control, Bully, Human Clay, Shadowgirl, and Fit for a Goddess! Just need to ensure that I can afford to keep them exclusive to Amazon, per their stipulation.

Uno

Here's a story I submitted for Omnitopia's 2nd competition. The theme was an omnipotent sub. This one's far more in line with traditional HikerAngel. Hope you all enjoy!

“Welcome to the highest plane of existence, Ms. Cooper.”

Andrea looked around, confused at where exactly she was. Last she recalled, she was on a dangerous deep-space expedition to the middle of the universe with seven other crew mates, but now there was only her and the mystery woman, and this myster...

The interactives are now public!

The whole "Send me your name and I'll add you to a club" wasn't working out all that well. For one, it was clunky an awkward, but also, I was running out of slots! Without spending a frankly unnecessary amount of money, 50 was the maximum people I could add to the group to read the stories on writing.com.

So I said "screw it" and made them all public. Original HA agreed to these terms and is now no longer sharing a writing.com account with me.

So here you all go! Freedom!

Th...

Consensus, Day 1-2: Wheelchair

Violet rubbed her tired eyes before gazing lovingly at the small four-by-three Zoom image of her boyfriend, Zach. They had been long-distance for years, having met on a multiplayer FPS game one fateful night. He apologized profusely for making her wake up at five in the morning just so they could have a video chat to prepare for his move, but she was just happy to see his face.

He was from New Zealand and she was from America. Thanks to the advent of the internet, the two of them were a...

October 2022 update.

So, I'll admit, I felt I was a bit lackluster last month when it came to posts and updates. My final year of College is really kicking my ass and I needed to get readjusted to that after summer break. But this month will be different! I've chiseled away at some real monoliths of stories lately, and I hope that you guys will enjoy the more frequent output this month.

Thank you to all of those who have stuck with me through thick and thin!!!

And here it is! Attached is the complete PDF version of Progenetrix's 3D comic! Enjoy!

Progenetrix 3D Comic Part 2!

Aaaaaand here's part two! PDF version will be releasing shortly!

Consensus, Day 1-1: Mail

Mae drummed her fingers to an invisible jazz rhythm on her dashboard as she desperately tried to keep herself awake. It wasn’t easy being a mail carrier, what with all the budget cuts lately during the peak of the online shopping boom.

Mail literally ran a country, and Mae certainly wasn’t being treated like the crucial backbone to society that she was.

Yet, she remained in high spirits. The pay was good, and the sheer satisfaction and gratitude of a wide-eyed patron finally g...

Progenetrix 3D Comic Part 1

Here's the first of two parts of a visual recap of the progenetrix story! Hope you guys enjoy! Part 2 will be up tomorrow, alongside a written story to cap the month off, so keep a lookout for those!

A pdf version of the entire comic will also be provided

The Gymnast, Part 5

“And, coming up next for the Olympic Artistic Gymnastics: Simone Biles!”

The applause was there. Of course it was. It had to be. This was the Olympics. But Simone could tell something was off.

It wasn’t her new favorite outfit, composed of only gilded power limiters that left painfully little to the imagination. She knew the crowd had gotten used to that now. It wasn’t the lack of glitz and glamor in her life. She was in a fulfilling relationship, had several documentaries...

A sneak peak of some animation!

That's right, Left Behind 3D will have some parts animated!  It might be a little rough around the edges, but it adds so much!

Also, there will likely be a hiatus on Left Behind 3D spanning until October, as the artist is undergoing some issues in their personal life.

Superior - Chapter 11

Chapter 11: Themiskyra

“Th-that’s your mother… In both of the images.”

I usually had such a good grasp on reality. Whenever I was flustered or confused, I’d either keep it to myself or verbalize it as calmly as I could. But now I was stuttering. This had to be some sort of joke, because the implications of what Jane was showing me weren’t physically possible. They… they shouldn’t have been physically possible.

And yet, there they were.

The left photog...
