B7—Chapter 42: The Head in the Sand Approach

On our way to the other side of the island, we found a naked body half hidden in the sand. It lay on its front, limbs loose, the muscles defined under a layer of dried salt and sand. Long tangled h...

B7—Chapter 41: Nature’s Fury

On the first two days, we explored the island with the Gate. It was a lovely, untouched place. The trees stood so close together that I had to open the house in its smallest configuration, and even...

B7—Chapter 40: From Snowstorms to Sandbars

Back at the underground city, I caught up on the hours of sleep I’d missed until I felt human again. When I finally woke, another snowstorm had rolled in. It wasn’t as fierce as the last one, b...

B7—Chapter 39: Traveling Is All About New Experiences

My red light was blinking, and I didn’t even need to check to know what I would see.

B7—Chapter 38: Elemental Command

Hi guys

Still dealing with Watermageddon 💦 but managed to squeeze in a bit of writing between the chaos.

By tomorrow, it should all be behind us, and I’ll just have to deal with th...

Update 2

Hi guys,

Well, the problem is bigger than it looked at first.

They need to lift half the floor and the work will continue tomorrow.

So, the chapter is delayed further. I’ll make...

Update

Hi everyone,

No chapter today, I’m afraid.

A pipe decided to explode this morning, and our house is now doing its best impression of a small lake. The plumbers are still at it, and on...

B7—Chapter 37: Fusion Point

Hey everybody,

You’re getting a second chapter today since they’re relatively short, each one focusing on an element or two.

Have fun,
TD

B7—Chapter 36: Playing with Fire and Drowning Squirrels

Back at the underground city, I headed off to play some more with stones, but stopped halfway to my destination. All my other affinities needed work too, and snow was ice, right? Turning around, I ...

B7—Chapter 35: When Giants Mistake You for a Dwarf

The snow started again, and this time it wasn’t just a light fall but a real storm, winds and all. The temperature kept dropping day after day, and it got so cold that even my amazing cloak could...

B7—Chapter 34: The Art of Fusing Earth and Mana

I did another pass through the books from Earth, this time managing seven before my mind screamed at me to take a break. The books weren’t hard to read, not like the wizard books, but Spirits, th...

B7—Chapter 33: The Bridge Between Science and Magic

Following my partial success in reconciling my meager scientific knowledge with mana to achieve a hint of flight, I headed to my library to look for books on subjects connected to Earth Magic. Not ...

B7—Chapter 32: Applied Field Dynamics: Reconciling Einstein, Newton, and Mana

Mahya burst into the house, eyes wide. “What the fuck?”

I looked at her over my shoulder, still holding the coffeepot. “What?”

“Where the hell are we?”

“Ashara. Mana...

B7—Chapter 31: Ashara’s Forgotten Halls

The next Gate was five days away, but thankfully, it required only one train ride and some trekking, or in our case, flying. After we secured the tickets for the following day, Mahya left us, sayin...

B7—Chapter 30: Strategic Laziness with Tactical Intent

We made our way back to the inn, each of us lost in thought. I had no idea what was running through Mahya’s or Al’s minds, but my focus stayed on one question: how to speed up my progress.

B7—Chapter 29: When the Same Message Repeats, It’s Time to Listen

I was doing my weekly check in the Archive, shaking my head at the amount of new crap the Travelers posted.

B7—Chapter 28: Haunted Drinks and Eavesdropping Plans

After dinner, we were served the same sangria-like drink. This time, I didn’t drink it; I only pretended to and poured most of it into the remnants of the soup. Mahya and Al did. I watched them a...

B7—Chapter 27: Circles of Influence

In the morning after breakfast, Al pushed back his chair and rose, brushing an invisible speck from his sleeve. “I am going to explore the herbs the city has to offer,” he announced.

Mahy...

B7—Chapter 26: Witch Tourism at Its Finest

After another three days on the train, we finally reached the Demesne of House Alila and its capital, Alilada. The train station was more than ten kilometers outside the city, and instead of steam ...

B7—Chapter 25: Five Circles of Letdown 

After baking Al five different cookies—chocolate chip, peanut butter, oatmeal raisin, shortbread, and double chocolate—that he “didn’t eat” but that would tide him over for a while, I swi...

B7—Chapter 24: A Sudden Vanishing Act

The trek to the Gate took us a few hours. We didn’t run full tilt but kept a leisurely jog and chatted along the way. Mahya had fun describing each bone she broke in the pissbucket's body, Al tal...

B7—Chapter 23: Pissbucket Justice

The flood of patients continued for another day, and then it slowed. It didn’t stop completely, but finally, the reception area was empty, and the ER was enough. I was dead tired again, hardly st...

B7—Chapter 22: Teddy Bear of Fire and Fury

When I woke up, the insanity was still affecting the clinic. I pushed open the treatment room door and stepped into the hall, where Rue walked with a floating stack of linen bobbing above his head....

B7—Chapter 21: Sleep Is Overrated

When I finished treating Mahya, I went back to the guy I’d left mid-spell and handled two more cases before finally heading to rest. Somehow, in that short span, the women in the clinic had compl...

B7—Chapter 20: Sometimes I’m a Badass

Hi everybody,

You may have noticed this is the fifth chapter this week instead of the usual three.

Why?

Because next week is a holiday marathon here in Israel. Monday–W...

B7—Chapter 19: Hot Cats and Dim Sum

By the time we got to the station, we’d already missed that day’s train to the red zone.

“I do not wish to return to the city,” Al said, his expression slightly disgusted.

From ...

B7—Chapter 18: The Pee of Defiance

After two days in the city, we'd had enough. It was ugly and boring. I even secretly opened the World Information and read a “spoiler,” but alas, it added nothing. Rabban wrote the newest post ...

B7—Chapter 17: It’s Back

We split from Rabban and Sonak near Outpost Eight. It had a city nearby, but Mahya had already visited it, so she wanted a different one. After checking the Map and a brief consultation, we agreed ...

B7—Chapter 16: From Tisus to Tourists

I was back on my feet and feeling great, so it was time to get back to work. Before heading out, I made breakfast and coffee for the gang. Yes, Sonak too. Lately, since he acted like a meek mouse a...
