Chapter 6, on the tower — V's POV

Maybe it’s exhaustion, or maybe this is what they actually want—someone to open their heart to, someone who would let them slip their mask off, even if it would be better not to do that. This isn’t something good, but Vezriel can’t help but want to act like this sometimes—to mess something up. As if they crave to receive a punishment. [Oracle] gives the pipe back to Vezriel and shares their drink with them, willingly partaking in this d...

Sneak Peek — Loyalties

“I think your loyalties lie with yourself. No, I hope so. I hope that you’ll choose what’s best for you. And I guarantee you, choosing her will never be best for you.” Laz leans forward, their elbows on their knees. “I promise you, if you ever make this wrong choice, I’ll personally force you to regret it.”Your hair stands on end. You take a deep breath and try to relax. You’re safe right now, and it’s good that they made this w...

Custom Story #7 (NSFW) — Osaron/Oracle

This a custom story written for one of my patrons, with their Oracle & request in mind. I'm posting it with their permission. All the Oracle's characteristics & Osaron's gender are predetermined. You can find it under the "custom stories".“Let me ask you differently then.” Osaron’s fingers trail down your cheek to your jaw, where he places his palm. “How are you feeling?”Osaron’s thumb trails over your lower lip, d...

NSFW Bonus Story — Azaria/Azarias, Bathing Together

“I didn’t know a massage was on the list,” you mumble. You might really fall asleep like this. “A bird told me you trained a lot today, so I thought you might need more help with relaxation.”Az pours some water over your back, washing off the soap. Their hands continue rubbing your shoulders and between them. If they keep this up, they’ll turn you to mush.When their hand slips to your front and glides over your stomach, you pay it no ...

Chapter 6, at their house — Az's POV

“We should do that again,” they say, the words slipping from their mouth before they can think them through. They’re sincere, but they’re immediately suffocated by doubts. Perhaps [Oracle] doesn’t want that. Az should have asked them carefully before proposing anything, but [Oracle] pushes Az into honesty better than anyone else ever has. Az is used to the conversations that hide the truth behind layers of lies and nonsense—to the con...

Chapter 6, checking the wound — Ash's POV

I put the POVs in a new category for each character and in a chronological order. The latest is tagged with "new" so you can locate it easier. The files for the other Tiers will be updated with their stories this month.“Why are you here then?”Ashmedai stares at the wall in silence. Their heart beats slowly and loudly, as if counting down the seconds until their death. Their mouth turns dry.“Well…” they murmur, unsure what they i...

Poll for O's POV

Poll for V's POV

Next month's POVs! Still from chapter 6 for now

Custom Story #6 — Vezriel/Oracle

You can find it under the "custom stories".Only the Tier 1 files are updated for now; the other Tiers will be updated with their monthly bonus stories. Looking over it always leaves him feeling so many emotions, both good and bad. It...

Progress Update — 30/09/25

Hi, everyone!I've already begun writing chapter 8. I spent the rest of the month prepping it: checking my plans, fixing some stuff behind the curtains, figuring out all the variations of scenes I'd need to write, etc. Then I sat down to work on the first draft.And well. This chapter is basically two chapters in one because of two main branches and how different they are. If you played chapter 7, you know what I mean. The whole chapter con...

Sneak Peek — Guilty

A romantic-ish moment with Os, a little spoilery if you didn't finish chapter 7. Not edited yet!Os raises their hand, and your breath catches. They cup your cheek and lean forward. You close your eyes, and they press their lips against yours in a soft caress. Elation battles with guilt inside you. You crave their touch, their presence, warmth, but at the time, they’re poisoning you. The ache is so deep that it reaches your bones, sinking in...

NSFW Bonus Story — Ashmedai, Late at Night

When you pull up to look over them, they can’t hold your gaze, turning their head to the side, shifting their hand to cover their mouth. Their cheeks and ears are flushed.You move their legs around you. Your hands slowly slide down their chest, pressing into their skin, and your gaze follows.“[Oracle],” Ashmedai murmurs so quietly you barely hear it.LINK

Chapter 7 — Tier 2

The die is cast. And the bet is your life.70K+ words. It’s time for contemplating and making complicated decisions. The chapter is a mix of plot and relationship progression. Those on the romantic paths should be fed especially well :) There’s also an important plot choice with two main branches that will lead to quite different endings.I want to thank my beta-testers—eleven incredible people who went through the chapter to find pesky error...

Custom Story #5 (NSFW) — Ashmedai/Oracle

This a custom story written for one of my patrons, with their Oracle & request in mind. I'm posting it with their permission. All the Oracle's characteristics & Ashmedai's gender are predetermined. You can find it under the "custom stories".I finished another custom story this month, but since the person preferred to keep it private, #4 is skipped. I'll keep the numbers on Patreon correct so everything matches my own list ...

Chapter 6, the gathering — L's POV

“Worried about me then?”Laz’s thoughts freeze. They stare at [Oracle] in dumbfounded silence. It’s a simple question with a simple answer. But there’s nothing simple about it for Laz.[Oracle] has seen through them. Even if Laz denies it, they aren’t sure they can make their answer sound believable right now. Not when their whole conversation started because Laz wanted to keep [Oracle] from danger.Why did Laz intervene? If they allowed...

Chapter 7 — Tier 3

Chapter 7 — Release Dates

16th September, today — for patrons on Tier 323rd September — for patrons on Tier 226th September — for patrons on Tier 130th September — for everyoneIt’s kind of funny I’m publishing this update on the same dates as the previous one. Anyway, it’s happening! I’ll publish a full post once the chapter is out for everyone. Patrons on Tier 3 will see it in a minute.

Chapter 6, the evening together — O's POV

The mirth that fills their heart surprises Os, but they let it sink and spread, and they enjoy the rare feeling. Decades go by, and so much about life becomes mundane that such sharp emotions turn into rarities. Sometimes they think they have forgotten how to be truly happy, angry, or upset.It seems they haven’t.LINK

Poll for Az's POV

Another one for October

Poll for Ash's POV

It's time for polls for October!

Progress Update — 31/08/25

I finished the first draft in August despite some health troubles. I'm also fine in that regard rn, so I'm back to my usual pace. I'm editing the draft, and I only have 30% left to do (1 plot scene + 5 route scenes).I thought I'd finish sooner, but I'm going carefully through the chapter to make sure I add meaningful text for old and new important plot variables and other things, so it's taking longer. But the end is near!...

Sneak Peek — Ask me

The text is edited to hide whose route this is 😋“I don’t need them to worry,” [Name] says. “I’m strong enough to carry my troubles myself.”“It’s not about strength. It’s about… companionship. Just because you can do it alone, it doesn’t mean you must do it like this. It doesn’t mean that others don’t worry about you and don’t want to share your burdens.”“If I need help, I’ll ask them.”“Will you?” You thi...

NSFW Bonus Story — Lazarus/Lazaris, Bathing Together

“Didn’t we want to take a shower properly?” they mumble, kissing up your neck up to the spot under your jaw, where they leave a brief bite. “Should I soap you?”You grip their hair and tug at it, forcing them to pull their head back and look you in the face. “If you play these games, I’ll leave, and you’ll have to miserably masturbate alone.”Laz laughs. The pleasant sound fills the room and sends shivers down your spine. “That�...

Chapter 6, in the garden — V's POV

No one has ever done that. In all their hundred years of living, no one has made them a flower crown and put it on their head. Vezriel finds that they like it much more than their normal red crown. That one, heavy and cold, reminds them of blood. This one is light and bright—something that doesn’t suit them at all, and yet they want to keep it.So they put it back on and smile at [Oracle]. “You should make one for yourself too.”“It’s n...

Chapter 6, in the park — Az's POV

[Oracle] lifts their hand to Az’s face and traces Az’s lip with their thumb. The world quietens, shrinks to this place only, this touch. Az wills themselves to be their usual self, shameless and relentless, but they can’t hide what [Oracle] does to them. How easily even such a small gesture unravels them.Az takes a wobbling breath, staring [Oracle] in the eyes as if mesmerized. Kiss me, Az thinks. Kiss me, or my heart will burst open.LINK
