Psychoprotective 17

[Sasha Nein, M. Psi, Psychonauts Agent]

The first thing Sasha noticed about Tanya’s mental world was… it was like Ford’s. The castle that Tanya had designed was shattered, the pieces st...

February Poll

I hope y'all enjoyed the new story! As before, vote for as many options as you want. The winner will have a snippet posted next month on the 1st. 'Mystery box' is a new snippet of some kind. I don'...

Summon Perfect Warlady 1 (Youjo Senki/Erfworld)

This one's a little obscure compared to the other stuff I've played with, but with that little Christmas short story Rob Balder sent out to their email list, me and a buddy who is also a fan talked...

Chapter 40: Cleaning up

The corpse of the Soul-Devouring Dragon burned. The amount of mana in a naturally formed stormcloud was immense, even if the amount of mana in that particular one was on the small side, as it wasn�...

Psychoprotective 16

I had this scheduled to post this morning... but apparently I accidentally set it for PM, not AM. My bad. 

---------------------------

The next area was in a pit, and contained eve...

Chapter 39: Climactic battle

You get an extra-long one this week, as I couldn't figure out a good spot to cut the battle short. It's going into the cooldown parts of the story now. I have a problem with making fight scenes a l...

Psychoprotective 15

Mary’s mind was… interesting. They manifested in a church, with Being X’s iconography everywhere, and a statue of the Bloody Valkyrie herself, depicted as a cherubic angel. The comparison to ...

January poll (fixed)

Sorry about the first poll not allowing multiple choices. Please vote again, and feel free to vote for multiple options. 

Chapter 38: Revelation

The explanation from his students was pretty basic: They overheard the slavers referring to whoever they were going to sell Illivere to as ‘the dragon’, and that a representative of the dragon ...

January Poll

I'm glad to see that most of the people who signed up in December stuck around! My patrons have doubled!

As Psychoprotective is now going to be a regular update, alternating with Anima Academ...

Unknown Justice 2

I really expected Psychoprotective to win this month. Well, it didn't, so... Here you go. 

----------------

One of the few advantages that Tanya provided that Tenko appreciated was...

Psychoprotective 14

Today was supposed to be an Anima Academy... but I got sick and was unable to do any substantial writing for the last four days. So... extra Psychoprotective for y'all.

Announcement

In acknowledgement of how many of you likely signed up so you could see psychoprotective 13, I'm officially changing the schedule: 

Now: 

Mondays: Alternate between Anima Acad...

Psychoprotective 13

[Camilla “Milla” Vodello, Psychonauts Agent]

Milla didn’t expect Tanya to win against the Heartless Machine. These things worked like a tug of war. Each defeat Milla dealt the mental co...

Psychoprotective 12

Two updates this week, another psychoprotective chapter will be posted on Thursday, with this one becoming public at that time, and that one will become public next Monday as if it was this one. I ...

Chapter 37: Dare to live

Mana cultivation was usually used as a measure of monster strength. Materials that were infused with mana were stronger, more durable. Living beings were not an exception to this. Monsters had sign...

Chapter 36: Storm in a bottle

Something that Casimir’s gone through a lot of effort to learn was how to use the tremorsense divination without also giving away his exact position, on top of giving all of that valuable topogra...

Mystery Box! Unknown Justice 1 [Youjo Senki/One Piece]

“How did it come to this?” Whispered Tenko as he languished in the cage, half-dead from wounds. They didn’t want to say it was because they tempted Being X by being too content with their cir...

December poll

Decided to see if I get more votes if I post the poll at the same time as the story for that month. Once again, vote for a new, 4k+ chapter of one of the below, or vote for THE MYSTERY BOX for me t...

Psychoprotective 10

It occurs to me that it's entirely possible that one of you may not read the normal thread for this except for the first ones. Foolish, but understandable. So I'm going to link it, just in case. 9 ...

Chapter 35: Vacation's over

“Okay, I’m pretty sure she was in this one before she rabbited.” Casimir said confidently as he examined the magical remnants of the desk. “Liches leave a pretty distinctive imprint on the ...

Psychoprotective 8

Needed a break, posting this instead.

[Milla Vodello, Psychonauts Agent]

Milla was worried for Tanya.

This was not an unusual situation, mind you. Even...

November poll

Here we are again! Shall Courtly Chronicles win again? Or shall I instead spent that time making more Psychoprotective? Or perhaps... the MYSTERY BOX!

Edit: Dangit, forgot to enable multiple ...

Chapter 34: Riches? Who wants riches?

Artifacts were somewhat… deceptive as a category of magic item. What made it an artifact? In the past, when the term was coined, it was basically a category that meant ‘it’s old and we have n...

Courtly Chronicles 10

[Tanya Degurechaff von Goethe aka Tenya Deguchiya aka Archduchess von Goethe, circa 1929, age 14]

The feeling at court was rather optimistic about the war. With the rest of the continent prop...

Chapter 33: Enter the Swamp King

Eventually, David managed to navigate the social scene of the adventurer’s guild well enough to get a hold of someone who could be of assistance: An elite-ranked shaman by the name of Polium Clou...

Psychoprotective 7

Refer to the announcement posted last night, please. Fans of Psychoprotective should be happy, at least. 

------------------

The names of all of the stations were pretty ominous, b...

Psychoprotective this week... and maybe this month.

Yeah, I don't have nearly enough written for this week's Anima Academy. What I do have is a massive backlog (I'm finishing up chapter 13) of Psychoprotective because my muse is stubborn like that, ...

Chapter 32: Good times

David’s wife was apparently named Pyra, a beauty with bright red hair and control of over a thousand head of cattle. It was the largest operation in the area, with over one hundred hired hands, a...

Chapter 31: Life finds a way

Casimir did not have a plan.

It was more that he had a few ideas. Nothing that could be considered a “plan”, per se. Fortress-style enchantments had many weaknesses, but they also had inn...
