Chapter 144: Fighting the Ground

Arthur’s next morning started with a pounding on his door that was slightly too earth-shattering to have come from a hand, or to even have come from his door. Jerked from a deep sleep into comple...

Audiobook Sneak Peek

Hey guys, one last announcement today.

Here's a sneak peek of the DWBS audiobook. We found an awesome narrator in Marlon Dance-Hooi and a kickass audio producer in Noah James. We're really h...

Snowing Pine

Recently, we’ve been getting a lot of comments around the Patreon reading experience, which unfortunately leaves a lot to be desired, especially on the mobile front.

So we dusted off our pr...

Chapter 143: Ready

Rhodia’s parents were refreshingly normal. Ella was like ten moms compressed into one, and Maar was a whole different kind of intimidating. Rhodia’s parents, in contrast, were a lot like what A...

Chapter 142: The Vole and the Giant

Arthur, being Arthur, immediately had second thoughts about his plan.

Yes, it would be awesome. Yes, it would be the absolute best he could do to create the greatest environment possible for ...

Chapter 141: Wedding Planning

“Arthur!” Spiky stood up from behind the counter, almost knocking over a stack of books he had perched near the edge. “Imagine walking into this humble place of learning on a sunny day like t...

Chapter 140: I Belong

Note: A nice chapter to round out the weekend. And huge thank you to everyone who showed up to support our Amazon launch. We're climbing the rankings really fast but we're not out of the woods just...

Chapter 139: Deejay

The party went on for a few more hours until people either started getting pulled away by work or went to rest for the day. Karra, Kout, and Lith were the first to peel themselves off, followed by ...

DWBS Book 1 on Amazon

Hi guys,

We try to make as few announcements on Patreon as possible, mostly because you guys are a large part of how we make our living and the last thing we want is to annoy you with non-bo...

Chapter 138: Named Drink

Ella had originally made an amount of food that had seemed ridiculous to everyone when she brought it to the table. Now it was barely enough. Eito had to fight for his share while Karbo carved off ...

Chapter 137: Festival of Moms

Note: Second chapter of the day!

--

Arthur would always remember the next day as the festival of moms.

When the first wagon pulled up to the gates, it had a woman he hadn’t seen...

Chapter 136: Pinches and Curses

Note: Two chapters today!

“Arthur! Come look.” Milo shouted out from the back of the shop. “I’ve made a little model of the train. It should help you visualize what I’ve be...

Chapter 135: Betrothal

Arthur read over the description for Overcharged Psychic twice. Luckily, the achievement didn’t seem to come with any downsides, or to be the kind of thing he could actively control. The next wei...

Chapter 134: Overcharged Psychic

“How’d she get here?” Arthur asked. “I thought Itela was days away.”

“She was. But that’s not important,” Mizu said.

“And I’m sorry I scared you,” Arthur said. “...

Chapter 133: Young Earthling

“Oh, Hi…” Arthur realized he had never learned the woman’s name. She had always been Mizu’s mother to him. “I don’t think I know how to address you.”

“Maar,” the woman sai...

Chapter 132: Pressures

The only exceptions to the rule were Karra and Lily, both of whom could benefit from having an almost unlimited amount of majicka. Karra refused, flat out, to take any of the town’s resources. 2024-06-24 11:31:17 +0000 UTC View Post

Chapter 131: Milo’s New Project

And just like that, Empathetic Host leveled again. Arthur shuddered as the wave of information he could read from everyone in the direct vicinity got that much stronger. He sat down, ...

Chapter 130: Industry

Arthur didn’t realize he was walking face-first into a very long afternoon until it was too late.

Most of Arthur’s days since coming to the demon world were characterized by little moment...

Chapter 129: Arthur’s Best

“I haven’t…” Mizu looked at Arthur, who nodded encouragingly. “I wasn’t using many runes for pressurization and travel. I’ve worked something different out. The explosion was about so...

Chapter 128: Mizu’s Mother

“You’re telling me she made the entire trip with you without mentioning she was visiting her daughter?” Milo gawked. “How long was she with you?”

“Two, three days?” Talca said. ...

Chapter 127: Talca and Littal

Some things took a lot of getting used to, and some took almost none.

For Arthur, “the town in inaccessible to wagons” was an idea that he took it as an undisputed, unspoken given. It was...

Chapter 126: Majicka Boost

It was a full two minutes before Lily came out of it, glancing at Arthur’s face to Mizu’s and back before breaking out in a huge grin.

“Oh, gods yes. I thought I was close. It’s about...

Chapter 125: Water is Important

Arthur and Mizu spent as much time together as they reasonably could, but it had to end at some point. Fun was fun, but in the Demon World, it always came with an expectation of eventually getting ...

Chapter 124: The Best Things

Some berries, it seemed, were not meant to be baked, unless you wanted a cookie that tasted distinctly of fried pork. Thankfully, the cookies were weird but not inedible, so everyone more or less e...

Chapter 123: Weird Cookies

“See,” Milo said. “I told you she’d know without you telling you. Pay up.”

Arthur flipped Milo a coin. From the fact that Mizu was beaming ear to ear and making a beeline towards th...

Chapter 122: Craft

Although Mizu seemed more cheered up when Arthur left, he still believed that he had a boyfriend-duty to help her in whatever way he could. The actual options for doing that felt pretty limited, bu...

Chapter 121: Water Pumps

Arthur decided he wasn’t going to cry. He was going to sob. There was no resisting this. Ella had dropped a mom-nuke on him. He was now what emotional scientists referred to as feelings-rubble. 2024-06-14 12:17:15 +0000 UTC View Post

Chapter 120: The Letter

Mizu decided, right then and there, that she would take the rest of the day off too. Not only was she so far ahead of her own work that nobody could really take exception to it, her break would act...

Chapter 119: Arthur the Mayor

Note: Hope you guys love this chapter.

The Coldbrook morning rush was a little more impersonal than the one Arthur used to handle in his old shop. That felt necessary, even if it wa...

Chapter 118: Months

With the danger of the dungeon gone, months began to fly by. The town’s population grew. Dairy-producing Hings were captured and partially domesticated.

Milo’s iron vein proved to be more...
