The second I got close, Julia lunged and grabbed me. She looked a bit out of it, dazed and shaken but thank the stars, she was okay. Mostly. Her fingers were clenched tight around that bronze feathered trinket the creepy deer-skull guy had dropped. Deathless Guide or something? Whatever his name, not the point. Julia being alive was.
I let out a yip in fox-speak, her hug was starting to t...

It might’ve been awe-inspiring if not for the suffocating pressure coiling around his lungs, or the quiet scream of his own instincts, his power gnashing at him to get the hell away from this thing.
Everyone in the sanctum knew the deal w...
2025-08-13 00:33:00 +0000 UTC View PostIt all happened too damn fast. One second Julia was stepping through the gates like a sane person, the next something knocked her flat. She hit the ground hard, but even while being sucker-punched by physics, she somehow managed to curl around me protectively, probably because I was small enough that her full weight would’ve turned me into a pancake with bones.
I squirmed loose just in ...
2025-08-13 00:32:01 +0000 UTC View PostTwo robed figures appeared on the doorstep. I peered from my hiding spot, through the narrow eyes of the skull and noticed something odd.
Behind them, the forest stretched as usual. Trees, shadowy undergrowth, and strange shadowy nope-shaped figures that sometimes lurked in the distance, creatures I never got a clear look at and, frankly, never wanted to. I’d assumed my goth mage just l...
2025-08-13 00:31:00 +0000 UTC View PostYou thought this was an early Jadey chapter? Sike!
Some of you might’ve noticed TDH’s worldbuilding has its share of occultism elements, inspired by the real thing a little, but definitely its own flavor. I’ve been itching to write something with heavier occult vibes, old gods and a progression system inspired by those themes.
So… welcome to Fox Girl...
2025-08-13 00:30:00 +0000 UTC View PostIt was a full-on parade of elves. An entire entourage. I counted them twice just to be sure. There were almost a dozen.
My body was wrapped in the shimmer of my distortion technique, layered over my skill for minimizing my presence. For good measure, I kept a generous distance. I glided between the foliage, my shifting ocular lenses feeding me every last scrap of detail.

"I've seen this marking show up in so many places, it’s starting to feel like more than just a coincidence," she said. Belle nodded along, eyes on the forming lines.
I crouched beside them, studying the symbol. I couldn't tell heads from tails. The middle circle looked like it was meant to represent a moo...

Hmm…
I ran a quick mental audit. What would be the optimal pick here? Stealth? Already handled. Offense? Solid. Perception? Sharp enough to catch a pin drop in a cyclone, nothing had slipped past me yet, and I doubted anything ever would.
Spellcraft, though… that was where things got spicy. Now that I was flinging around these s...

Well, not all that alright. In hindsight, maybe I should’ve spared a brain cell or two thinking through the consequences. You know, minor things like space, alarms, structural integrity… me. But who has the time for logistics when you’re in a rush?

2025-06-16 01:40:59 +0000 UTC View PostTruth Serum had been a spectacularly dumb idea last time. Binding magic—especially soul magic that shackles someone from revealing crucial info—doesn’t exactly vibe well with a drug that scrambles your brain into a truth-vomiting frenzy.
