DRR Book 2, Chapter 44 - Preparation

Author's Note: Just a heads up in case you don't see the notification, but I made a small change near the end of chapter 43, just before the scene break. It's an Interface popup fo...

DRR Book 2, Chapter 43 - In the Stands

Author's Note: Just a heads up - billing will begin again in a few days, since I feel mostly recovered. I've got some medication that's helping a lot. The update schedule will stay...

EC Book 4, Chapter 11 - Cast in Shadows

Vex understood what Raltis meant as soon as he completed the glyph. Tendrils of intent — not mana, but intent, invisible to his normal mana-sensing abilities but clear as day when it was...

EC Book 4, Chapter 10 - Lost in Translation

"You're using the Roads to translate the system?" Vex asked. Derivan couldn't blame him for sounding stunned; he felt much the same way.

And maybe a little offended. Patch hadn't bee...

EC Book 4, Chapter 9 - Journey

Author's Note: It's been a while since we've had new EC, huh? Editing Books 2 and 3 have been a journey for me. Book 3 changed a little less than I thought it would, which helped, ...

DRR Book 2, Chapter 42 - Spark of Rebellion

One of the biggest problems I have right now is that I'm a little... directionless. I have many disparate goals, and nothing stringing them together; that means I'm just leaping for the first oppor...

DRR Book 2, Chapter 41 - Restart

Author's Note: I've edited the chapter and inserted an extra scene between the first and the second scene break, covering in a bit more detail the start of Ethan's loop and a small...

DRR Book 2, Chapter 40 - Slipping Away

To say that Whisper is angry is an understatement. I can see the color of her anger turning her Firmament with a dark, stained crimson. It's so strong it's impacting the nature of her skills, even ...

DRR Book 2, Chapter 39 - Trial Run

"...That's one hell of a story," I mutter. I don't know how to respond for the longest moment. What Miktik tells me is horrifying and terrifying in equal measure — horrifying because of what's be...

DRR Book 2, Chapter 38 - Symptoms

DRR Book 2, Chapter 37 - Signs

With the strange change in Firmament density going toward Miktik's workshop, I was almost expecting the building itself to be shining with Firmament. It's not. It's barely different than it normall...

DRR Book 2, Chapter 36 - City of Glass, Redux

The journey back to the City of Glass is surprisingly uneventful. I suppose part of it is that we're used to the trip by now — I'm able to tune out everything that happens on the way, up to and i...

DRR Book 2, Chapter 35 - It's Just a Phase

The first thing I have to get over is the skill being immensely disorienting. It's worse than my first few tests of Warpstep — everything feels off and wrong in a way that's har...

DRR Book 2, Chapter 34 - Key

Author's Note: Not going on an extended break again, I swear. Just have a deadline this week. So one chapter today (it's longer than usual though!), and more once I submit my manus...

DRR Book 2, Chapter 32 - Mistakes

She-Who-Whispers had a headache. This time, her headache was not caused by incompetence among any of her underlings, or even by yet another plot to rebel being whispered about in the dark underbell...

DRR Book 2, Chapter 31 - Old Beginnings

I consider fighting the Guilty Chimeras again before heading off, but I feel a little pressed for time — there are too many things to do, and I still haven't seen the chat with Earth connect agai...

DRR Book 2, Chapter 30 - Loop 15

Author's Note: I somehow managed to sprain my thumb this week, so writing kinda hurts! I still wanted to get this out for Christmas, though. Merry Christmas (or happy holidays if t...

DRR Book 2, Chapter 29 - Gauging your Enemies

I might only have charged up Compounded Mind for a while, but it's surprisingly effective. Whisper's Firmament buildup is slow, maybe because she isn't expecting me to be able to get away in time o...

DRR Book 2, Chapter 28 - Laboratory

DRR Book 2, Chapter 26 - Sensory Delights

DRR Book 2, Chapter 25 - Aspects and Colors

I should have done this earlier, but it slipped my mind. No real excuse for it - I apologize. Things have been rough on the personal side. Health issues, among other things.

Sorry for the lack of chapters lately - long story short, mild illness and very bad jetlag after flying back from the States. I've been asleep and out of it for most of the past week. I'm feeling b...
