ShipCore Early Access is Coming
Soon I'll have enough backlog to start offering up to 5 chapters ahead of RR and SH releases! Stay tuned to a reboot of my patreon! I plan to keep it simple this time instead of having multiple tiers. A setup of 1 tier, 5 dollars, 5 chapters is the plan!
Progress Update / Patreon Pause
Hi guys. I wish I had better news, but progress hasn't been going well on the writing front. I've just not been putting words down onto page, and I don't want to charge anyone if I'm not productive. I think worrying about performance / writing on time has actually made things worse, and rewriting things hasn't gone smoothly at all.So here we are, I've paused the billing on Patreon. I'm hoping that without the added str...
Slight Delay on next Chapter
Hello everyone, you might have noticed Cultists got the entire backlog of chapters yesterday, meaning they are now at the same point as Lesser Demons. Someone pointed out they were promised 4 chapters ahead and they only had two. After a bit of talking with a few patrons on discord, I decided to do a bit of rewriting.Actually, most of what is written will still be valid (although I'll probably re-go over it.) and the focus will be on the 15-d...
Cultist Release 52-55
This release brings Cultists ahead of the public by 4 chapters, catching them up to the previously promised amount. Several people pointed out that the promise wasn't being kept, as I've been behind for a while. Going ahead, the cultist tier will instead be getting half of the total amount of advanced chapters while Lesser Demons receive all advanced chapters, regardless of how many ahead we are. A notice will be put in the author's n...
Chapter 52 - Collateral Damage / Cultist
Google Doc Link Here!===‘Oh fuck.’Elania had no time to move as the mercenary busting down the door didn’t pause, the door slamming into the wall with a crash. “What’s---”His words clipped off the second he saw Elania; he pulled a knife off his arm and flung it straight for her. Her dodge reaction was just as fluid as the attack, except only as she was about to push off, she realized that would leave the knife going straight into Yola...
Chapter 55 - Dungeon (Part 2) / Lesser Demon
Google Doc Link Here!===Elania coughed and tried to blink away the blur in her eyes as dust, and the shouting of men filled her senses. It took a few seconds before she realized she was on her back, head nestled on another girl's lap. As the face came into focus, she felt a slight familiarity, but her fuzzy head couldn't come up with a name."You're pretty."It was a stupid comment, the other girl's face was covered in soot ...
Chapter 51 - Yolani / Cultist
Read here or below!===Chapter 51 - YolaniAs Elania stepped out of the third Artificer shop, she began to question her choice to shop around for a higher price on her Monster Core. The nine large silvers in her new coin pouch pressed against her from inside a new string nestled under her shirt reassuringly. Her shard’s final contribution to her journey was to provide her with enough funds for over a week of rest. She would have much rather have ...
Chapter 54 - Dungeon (Part 1) / Lesser Demon
Read here or below!Thanks for the comments and support. I hope the story continues to please and interest you all!===“What the heck!”Elania’s first thought was that it was blood, but the red liquid smelled like oil and was too thick.“Oh no! I’m so sorry! We were replacing the condenser and it’s sensitive to pressure fluctuations!”Wiping whatever guck it was that the condenser needed off her face, Elania tried to keep a straight face...
Chapter 53 - 15 Days Later / Lesser Demon Access
Hiya! Hoping to get another chapter done before Monday, but Friday is going to be stressful, so I'm not sure if we will manage an extra 'catch-up' chapter this week.Read here or below!===Chapter 53 - 15 Days LaterThump-Thump.“Hey, wake up, The Guard is here.”“Seriously! Wake up!”“What did you do!”Thump-Thump.“Elania! Wake up!”Everything was so terribly hazy. It didn’t feel like she was in her own body, but the poundi...

It was less cluttered than most of the other surfaces in the workshop, but it still had a plethora of different tools and devices that looked exotic to Elan...
Chapter 49 - The Real Artificers (Continued) / Cultist
Here's Monday's chapter a little early!Get it here or read below!===Chapter 49 - The Real Artificers (Continued)The street was much better lit and more like what Elania had seen in the Artisan District. The scruffy, dirty undertone the Merc Dist’ had was absent, which was noticeable simply because the contrast happened suddenly. That meant the Artificers not only paid for the extra Mercenary protection but also to have things cleaned.Th...

Get the chapter here!Or read below!====Chapter 48 – The Real ArtificersElania was relieved when Tina led her down the lighted street and not the darker one the Rogue and Bruiser had fled down. She had a slight worry the two would return and attempt to extract revenge of some sort, so she had opened the map and added the two names they had helpfully divulged while talking to the screen.That was another revelation, she was able to have more than ...

Chapter 45, 46, 47 / Cultist Access
Hello everyone! Because of the way releases went, Cultists are ending up with some extra chapters tonight while the Lesser Demons suffer. It's mainly because I combined the public releases (the interludes especially) together so they wouldn't be so short. I know all my patreons suffered during the really dry spell when I was having trouble writing, but I'm hoping that all the releases will be back to where they should be this month. I...
Chapter 48(B) + Chapter 49 - The Real Artificers (Continued) / Lesser Demon Access
Hey everyone, here with the next chapter for you all. I had a question about the advance chapters for the Lesser Demon tier not being up to the 8 ahead as promised. I'm aware of it and hoping to catch back up to where we should be this month. The main reason releases ended up this way is because I have been releasing extra chapters to the public, mainly because there were several shorter ones (the interludes, etc.)It was a pretty dry spell fo...

Surprise release today! No Google Doc update, sorry! Will be one with Chap 44!---Chapter 41 - Artifice DeniedIf the guards had police cars, Elania thought she would surely be handcuffed and in the back of one right now. As it was, the guards had confused when she hadn’t offered any resistance and had only taken her aside and away from the woman before they started asking questions. Her protestation of innocence was met with skepticism; apparent...

Will be one with Chap 44!---Interlude - GastonLieutenant Gaston watched as Captain Harrik sighed and leaned back at his desk, turning his attention toward the folder in his hands, leafing through the thing folio for show rather than reading anything.“Lieutenant, can you explain to me just why you let an unrecorded and unbound demon walk right through your Checkpoint as if it owned the place?...

Get it here or read below!---Chapter 37 - Welcome to NeftasuTheir baskets of Moss were taken and set aside under the eye of another guard while their escort led them through one of the smaller doors. There was another entryway they had to pass through and then a short but maze-like path through the stone walls. The shiny metal exterior had led Elania to believe the interior would have been the same, but it was closer to the stonework of the ruins...
