A Guardsman's Game, Chapter 100

Xianxia Alchemy in the 40th Millennium

“Let’s cut you open and see what’s useful, eh?”

I didn’t have much to work with. I’d only been here a week—or at least, my consciousness had only overridden the previous personality of this body for a week. So, instead of a scalpel, I had a combat knife. A really sharp one, but still, it was meant for stabbing and killing and some utility, not alien biology. Not the right tool for the job, but good enough for what I needed.

The thing lying on my table was a very rare...

The Breaker of the Oceans, Chapter 34

“You were going to kill him.”

Her father, Valon Greyjoy, spoke plainly as they walked together through the deeper halls of Pyke. The stone corridors were alive with activity, servants and workers carrying garlands, banners, trays of food. Men shouted orders in brief bursts, pointing fingers, directing others where to place crates or tables. Metal clanged softly in the kitchens, mixing with the dull murmur of voices.

Hela shook her head slowly, eyes fixed ahead as they moved pa...

A Cold God, Chapter 33

“A Primarch?”

Captain Lokir Amarith dragged a hand down his face, thumb and forefinger pressing into his eyes until the colors behind his lids sparked and flared. He exhaled slow through his nose, breath fogging faintly in the chill of the command deck. The overhead lights buzzed softly. Instruments beeped in the background. Somewhere behind him, the vox array clicked as it cycled through open channels.

Of all the outcomes he’d prepared for—xenos contact, lost human coloni...

I decided to sleep on the 20,000 War Points until I could sit down and figure out the best use for them. My immediate thought was to bolster my ranks with more Units—maybe even a few of the pricier, deadlier types that would spell trouble for anyone standing against me. But caution prevailed; no rush decisions. I would wait, think carefully, and ...

Announcement

I will be remaking the following stories:

- A Guardsman's Game
- The Honored One

I feel like I've grown enough as a writer and I'm confident that I can now remake these stories into something far better than what they used to be.

Break Week

Hey guys, I'll be taking a break this week, because I sat down this morning and tried to write and found out that I may be running low on creativity juice. So that my stories don't deteriorate in quality any more than they already have, I'm gonna take it easy this week. Don't worry, we'll be back to regular updates starting next week. I'm hoping for your understanding.

The Breaker of the Oceans, Chapter 33

Of all the tales and legends he’d heard of her, all the stories whispered fearfully by sailors in dark taverns, the bloody whispers of survivors and witnesses alike, none spoke of her beauty. They spoke of death and battles, of screams and fire, of the ruin she left behind. Daemon Targaryen expected many things when the gates opened and the Greyjoy girl arrived. He expected a scarred face, features cut from iron, marked with old wounds and older anger. Perhaps a broken nose or a crooked jaw...

A Cold God, Chapter 32

At some point during the Long Night—the freakish winter I’d thrown over the world—I started seeing through ice and snow. Not just as a metaphor. I mean really seeing. If there was enough of it, and it was cold enough, I could push part of my consciousness into it. Snowdrifts, glaciers, frozen lakes—it didn’t matter. The frost had become an extension of myself. My eyes.

And so, as the Long Night faded, as warmth began to bleed back into the world in slow, cautious pulses, I loo...

As I sprinted deeper into the snow-covered woods of Punjab, my thoughts raced. My breath puffed out in clouds, the rhythm of my boots crunching through frozen dirt and snow steady beneath me. A realization struck: I’d been holding myself back for no good reason, afraid to summon units outside of dungeons. It was a combination of paranoia and cautio...

The Breaker of the Oceans, Chapter 32

Truth be told, Daemon did not quite know what to think of the Greyjoys. 

The Rogue Prince mused as he leaned back against the cushioned bench, fingers idly drumming on the polished wood. Soft candlelight flickered across the chamber, throwing shifting shadows over the carved krakens decorating every corner. The scent of salt lingered in the air, mingled faintly with incense and distant sea wind. Daemon breathed it in slowly, his eyes narrowed, focused on nothing in particular. The ...

A Cold God, Chapter 31

“Visitors from the stars?” The Elder’s eyes narrowed. She turned away from Matukai, crossing the room in slow, deliberate steps. Her hand brushed the edge of the long table, fingers tracing patterns in the thick layer of dust that had settled upon the ancient relics. Slowly, she leaned forward, pushing aside a carved stone statuette and reaching for a scroll rolled tightly in dry sheepskin. Her fingers, knotted and dark from many years, carefully undid the brittle cord that bound the pa...

One of the best things my dad ever taught me was the value of just sitting still and waiting. At times, when you kept on chasing and running after something, no matter how badly you wanted it, there was a good chance that whatever you’re after was gonna start running away from you. I learned that the hard way during high school. I was so desperate to ...

“Prince Daemon, welcome to Pyke.”

Valon Greyjoy spread his hands in greeting, palms open, eyes steady, the practiced ease of his movements hiding the stiffness at his shoulders. Behind him, the wind stirred gently through the banners. Black krakens snapped against a cold sky.

Daemon Targaryen swung down from Caraxes’ back, his armor shifting quietly as he landed. He stood straight, adjusting the gloves on his hands, eyes taking in Pyke’s rebuilt towers, its bustling harbor...

A Cold God, Chapter 30

Thrud Arvinsdottir shuddered as a bone-freezing gust tore across the landscape, rattling her armor and clawing at her exposed visor. She drew a breath through clenched teeth, the air sharp enough to hurt. Frost crept up the edges of her vision, inching inward despite the warmth her suit struggled to maintain. Her joints protested with every slow step forward, a dull ache that spread from ankle to hip.

Ahead, the other figures trudged in silence. They moved hunched, bent into the wind, s...
