A dapper man in a dark green suit ran through the street, his remarkable speed and posture not matching his distinguished look, though a closer look at his attire would reveal the way it subtly highlighted his physique. Following on his trail was a woman wearing blue overalls and carrying a large camera on her shoulder, a glowing halo of golden light floating above her curly ginger hair with a ...
2023-10-01 17:04:20 +0000 UTC View PostJames could feel his entire mass shake before he even heard the detonations that echoed across the city. The booming sounds drew closer and closer until they were deafening and he could visually notice the way the very air rippled from their sheer power. He readied his shadows and hid the vials Mercury the alchemist had gifted him, just in time for his senses to finally peek through the disturb...
2023-09-24 21:52:30 +0000 UTC View PostJames sat at a small coffee table in the inner court of his facility, facing the mysterious person who had scared his previous unexpected visitor. Since they supposedly needed privacy he couldn't just talk it out outside, and he figured they'd appreciate a comfy seat over just standing still. It wasn't easy to spot through their black robes rimmed with silver, but from the way they walked when ...
2023-09-17 21:01:14 +0000 UTC View PostAlthough he had worked hard to reach this point in his new life, James couldn't deny he felt some nostalgia for his early days. Well, some aspects of them. For instance, the constant worry of monsters hiding around the corner and the anxiety of being dropped in an unknown environment weren't missed. However, it was hard to deny he had more time to mess around with his powers in the past. You'd ...

2023-09-09 12:51:33 +0000 UTC View PostRobed figures walked Among carved stone walls, their fingers gloved in brown cloth tracing the grooves in the stone, both those done by the mastered chisels of mankind and the scratches and wear nature had made. Despite their various heights and body shapes, all those wandering in these grey corridors, hidden from the sun, looked the same. They were dressed in green from head to toe, the cloak ...
2023-09-05 17:02:27 +0000 UTC View PostGreetings! I'm back from vacation, and ready to write!
I'm sorry for chapter 137 not coming out yet, the second week of vacation brought a lot of internet-related problems. It should be out sometime tomorrow.
You may remember that I went to see a psychologist after suspecting having ADHD. Well, surprise surprise, he told me I had ADD and brought up scheduling a scan somewhere at som...
2023-09-04 18:58:59 +0000 UTC View PostGangsters and lowlives of all sorts ran around screaming, scratching at their faces, or rolling on the ground in their mad attempts to chase away the flames that engulfed them, somehow shining brighter than the raging inferno that devoured the illegal casino they were all escaping from. Moans and screams roared from the pyre, the still living victims letting out all of their pain and suffering ...

2023-08-17 18:01:26 +0000 UTC View PostHidden in the darkness of her domain, a feminine figure sitting on a throne with a back taller than a house and composed of grinding silver gears and clockwork mechanisms looked down from her elevated position to her subordinate kneeling before her at the bottom of the stairs leading to her imperial piece of furniture. The only thing that could clearly be seen of her was the red glow of her eye...

2023-08-09 13:37:01 +0000 UTC View PostWhen James felt his senses fuse with those of Solvent, he was somewhat relieved that at the very least the doppelganger was still where he had ordered them to stay, Runar's former headquarters. The five-story-tall building had been heavily shaken and weakened by the battle between Silhouette's forces and the goons of the runemaster, with many cracks appearing all over its surface and ruining th...
2023-08-07 20:54:23 +0000 UTC View PostGreetings everyone. This is a short message to tell you all that on the 19th of August, I'll be going on a two weeks vacation. We only recently learned our housing will not include internet, and though we have taken steps to mitigate the situation, there is a possibility chapter releases will be slowed or even delayed during that period.

2023-08-04 18:09:57 +0000 UTC View PostJames watched curiously as Doctor Ivan Decanov, the robot he had hired to help put his factory back into working shape, paced all around the large basement that would serve as the facility's power plant. He didn't expect much out of it, despite what the mechanical man had claimed about the potential of an engine making use of the innate ability of his infused to recharge in the dark James doubt...
2023-08-04 18:02:05 +0000 UTC View PostThe slums of Zalcien were home to many things, most of them miserable, but quite a few also monstrous. Among them, the one that all dreaded occupied the remains of an old hospital, the building that had once been a place of healing turning into a nightmarish domain that only fools and the powerful dared approach, and only the latter could ever hope to leave. Life itself had rejected that terrib...

The short chubby scam artist who wore more expensive clothes than he could safely afford had long since realized he had made a terrible mistake in antagonizing the latest monster lurking in the darkness of Zalcien with his antics. He had barely s...

Curled up on the bed of his tiny cell, his back to the bars and the guard that addressed him, a short old bald man's bushy grey mustache twitched up and down, the curly hair was as wide as his head was tall and as thick as his admittedly rachitic forearms. The prisoner turned, hiding the black number sewn into the back of his yellow suit from his i...
2023-07-06 18:12:22 +0000 UTC View PostDoctor Decanov grumbled as he stepped out of the taxi he had taken to leave Blackrose Street and head to his next but unexpected visit, a burlap sack in his hand that he quickly shifted to put over his shoulder as soon as he was out of the yellow vehicle and had the space to move the heavy load without damaging his surroundings. The ugly building in front of him could be best described as a fut...
2023-07-02 11:43:58 +0000 UTC View PostWhen Doctor Ivan Decanov arrived at 123 Blackrose Street, he let out a small hum as he stepped out of the taxi that brought him here, the car's departure making his labcoat flutter in the air. He walked forward towards the building facing him and was somewhat reassured to see his new client hadn't lied so far. Well, so long as this Silhouette truly was the owner of this facility, but given the ...

Although Doctor Decanov had yet to inspect the factory and begin his work putting it back in a functioning state - his visit was scheduled for the following morning - James was satisfied enough with his preparations to bring his children to Zalcien immediately. He hadn't...
2023-06-19 17:37:11 +0000 UTC View PostJames examined the two robots standing before him as they exchanged a look. The one with what he could only describe as a Russian accent had a simplistic style and looked like he hated everything and everyone around him, whereas the other one looked much more advanced and seemed much friendlier despite his larger bulk. It wasn't the first time James dealt with sapient and sentient machines, hav...

He still wasn't sure what to feel about the man, Blake Black was a rather pleasant if not surprisingly clingy fellow, and whenever James interacted with him he felt like he was the cool guy on the block being buttered up to invite someone at his next party. Still, at the same time, ...
