Rewrite - Chapter 3

This will be the day we've waited for

This will be the day we open up the door...

Well, or something like that. Today was the day Road to Purgatory started and I was pumped. Al...

Rewrite - Chapter 2

The week after getting my capsule had been a busy one.  On one hand, I wanted to get the few remaining work-projects done so I could jump into Road to Purgatory with both feed, on another hand...

Chapter 370

Travelling with a large group of well-armed and ready to fight orcs had the expected effect on the local wildlife. Even our normally smaller, yet powerful, group had a major deterring effect on cur...

Jaded Life - Rewrite, Chapter 1

The next month was hell. I knew I'd get the latest piece of gaming-hardware, I knew when I would get it and all I could do was wait. It was akin to waiting for Christmas, only worse.

At least...

Jaded Life - Rewrite, Prologue

• AN: I finally make the plunge and will rewrite the beginning of Jaded Life, likely the first 30 chapters. While the overall story will stay the same, I think I have learned quite a bit since ...

Chapter 369

Maybe I should have realised that a game with the name “Road to Purgatory” involved a whole lot of roads and walking on them. Not that we truly had a road to march on, it was a foot-pa...

Greetings, dear Traveller

This thread is for the discussion of the latest vision-shard that managed to cross the world...

Chapter 368

This time, it was my turn to watch Sigmir slowly wake up and I felt a smile creep up on my face, simply because it looked so adorable. Once more, I was struck by the immense contrast, that a person...

Chapter 367

Looking up at the stars, I had to chuckle to myself. Preparing and eating dinner on a small stretch of sand in a bend of the river had given me some time to actually think and make me realise just ...

Chapter 366

Waking up cuddled up to Sigmir was always a pleasure. Her smell, the warmth of her arm wrapped around my back, the solid muscles cushioning me, they all worked together to give me a sense of conten...

Chapter 365

Once I was finished with the mundane tasks of maintenance in my apartment, I went back into the capsule, lying down on the comfortable gel-backing and closing my eyes. I was still confused and a li...

Chapter 364

“We will accompany you then, as your guests.” I accepted Dura Firebringer’s suggestion after a moment of consideration. There was a part of me that was cautious, maybe paranoid, because of th...

Chapter 363

By the time the last orc was reasonably well, the sun had fully risen above the valley, bathing us all in its burning rays. Part of me wanted to simply pull back the covers, so to speak, to conjure...

Chapter 362

When I started to channel power into the downed orc’s body, I almost instantly realised my mistake. The first effect my power had was that his teeth started to chatter, reminding me that I had be...

Chapter 361

The contrast was stark and that my spell had done more than just conceal the area was incredibly obvious. The whole valley was covered in grass with a few shrubs visible, at least where Dura Firebr...

Chapter 360

Waking up was not fun. The alarm going off in my head managed to jostle me awake but I still felt like my mind had been hit by a truck, sore and like my head was a number too small for my brain. I ...

Chapter 359

We carefully made our way around the valley, paying attention to our surroundings. We had no way of knowing whether the wolves in the forest had all joined the attack on the orcs or if there were s...

Chapter 358

Watching Adra and Rai start their climb into the valley, I had to nod to myself in approval. The climb would normally be easy, especially if you had dry ground and good lighting. They had neither, ...

Chapter 357

As we were contemplating the sensations we received from the centaur in our claws, the howling of wolves added to the pandemonium of the region. The previously calm and quiet night was now anything...

Interlude: Of Ice and Fire

Two centaurs, lightly armoured and with weapons at their side rest comfortably near a fire, not quite keeping watch but being awake and aware to raise the alarm, if one of the outer guards raises a...

Chapter 356

After looking our new body over for a moment, we decided that we needed a name. There was power in names and we were neither Morgana, nor Lenore. We were both, yet neither, a whole that was greater...

Chapter 355

After a light meal, a shower and a little exercise, I logged back into Road to Purgatory, a grin on my face. I couldn’t wait to see what the night would bring, whether my plans would come to frui...

Chapter 354

The negotiations had been fast and furious, both sides trying to get useful concessions, while keeping in mind that time was of the essence, that we needed to make use of the night, if we wanted to...

Chapter 353

“So, tell me, what is the situation? I’ll assume you made camp early for a reason?” I asked, needing to know the tactical situation to make informed decisions.

“The Centaurs made camp...

Chapter 352

I had to give it to the orcs, they were disciplined. While they were individually relaxed during their march, the scouts and other parts of their formation were serious and vigilant, ready to sprin...

Chapter 351

Apparently, orcish was a good language to curse in. The invective spewing from Dura Firebringer after I explained to her our theory about the centaurs being just one part of a larger force was impr...

Chapter 350

Talking to another spellcaster was always interesting. In the case of Dura Firebringer that was particularly true, due to the opposite nature of our powers and approach, something that allowed me t...

Chapter 349

“What a mess, indeed.” Dura muttered, once I had fully explained what I had seen, even if I had been vague on my methods.

“I know you and your group planned to travel onwards tomorrow b...

Chapter 348

“Did you notice?” I asked Lenore, slowly disentangling my mind from the scrying-construct we had created and used to observe the centaur-camp. It had worked quite a bit better than anticipated,...

Chapter 347

In the evening, it became apparent just how serious the orcs were about pushing their speed. They kept going, even after the sun had mostly set, marching on in the twilight, only setting up a rudim...
