Cottontail Chapter 2

Excuse me, madam… oh, this is most peculiar.

The weirdly British voice was the first thing I heard as my brain rebooted. It wasn’t like, modern British either, it was like… old timey. Like a posh person from an old movie or something.

Sir, I’m going to ask you to wake up. You are dying, and we have very little time with which to correct this.

Dying? View Post

Digital Galaxies Full Story

I don't even know what to write here. I can't believe I actually finished it! 139,711 words in total! Holy moly. Hope you enjoy the whacky cover everyone, I decided to use, abuse, and edit some AI generated images combined with some of my own stuff to make it.

The Turshen’s hangar bay door increased rapidly in size as she closed in on my orbital position. Bundit was in control of itself, letting out little bursts from its thrusters to keep us on target with the still relatively small opening. Hopefully once I was inside, Jason and Ed could catch me.

My mech’s aetheric syphon was completely busted now, having shorted out and unravelled when...

The moment I was in communications range with the Turshen again, my earpiece almost blew my eardrum.

Witch of Chains Chapter 20

Rosa

It took two days of grinding to get my enchanting up to a level that I was happy with. It was an excruciatingly long and tedious experience, but in the end, I was able to start playing with the crafting profession in earnest. My armour was enchanted without much fanfare, it was almost exactly like the normal spell system, except the effects were permanent.

** It has been literally forever since I tried to write this story. Hopefully my current writing style isn't too jarring, but I imagine there'll be some problems picking this story up again. It's hard to keep the tone and style the same after all these years xD. Anyway if this gets a good reception I'll keep going, if not, I'll work on a chapter every now and then until it's finished. **

Ryn of Avonside Chapter 114

** This was a tough chapter to balance. I wanted to explore the bs luck that trans story protags get compared to trans side characters, and how unfair it is. I guess this is just a wider exploration of how shitty fate and luck can be sometimes, and how we all gotta work together to correct the rng of life. Or something. Idfk. **

The trail led further into the fae forest, but unlike the other two paths, this place was quiet and dark. Evidence of animal habitation was everywhere, and I scanned my surroundings with wary eyes.

It was a pretty claustrophobic forest. On the floor, there was a wild tangle of brush, which looked soft and inv...

The duke gave us leave to flee the castle and return to our manor after we explained what our faun runner boy had told us. Given the explosion, we were more than a little worried that our manor house had just gone up in a pillar of fire.
