Nate walked forward with purpose, the soft earth compressing beneath his feet as the smell of mould and rot filled his nostrils. They’d been two days out from Pinewater when Frick had noted the m...
2024-04-25 20:00:08 +0000 UTC View PostKiri laughter echoed through the forest. Nate snorted, trying to ignore her. It was becoming difficult though as his best friend started slapping the Alliram’s hump in front of her as she continu...
2024-04-23 20:00:04 +0000 UTC View PostNate vanished from where he stood as No Steps Necessary moved him exactly thirteen metres to the left. He’d learned over the last week that using consistent distances when a...
2024-04-21 20:00:07 +0000 UTC View PostFrick woke him in the middle of the night by shaking him. He was about to spin up a barrier around himself as he sat up quickly but as he activated Eyes of the Runic Artist he...
2024-04-18 20:00:04 +0000 UTC View PostNate leaned back in his chair, finally finished his runecrafting session. The moon shone through the window, its soft light mixing with the constant luminance from the Light rune placed by the coff...
2024-04-16 20:00:04 +0000 UTC View PostNate watched as Aisling walked around her desk to get a better view of the painting. He’d been apprehensive about giving the Guildmaster the painting, unsure how she’d react and if she’d appr...
2024-04-14 20:00:06 +0000 UTC View PostNate and Kiri walked through the town towards the Guildhouse with Frick floating along beside them, eyes darting everywhere. Kiri was her usual bubbly self with a bounce in her step. Saskia trailed...
2024-04-11 20:00:04 +0000 UTC View PostNate wanted to ask Frick what the hell a demon was? Beyond the obvious that is. But he didn’t have time as Xalvoloth rushed at him. Splitting his focus, he activated two barrier runes. The first ...
2024-04-09 20:00:04 +0000 UTC View PostA/N: Update to Conceptual Material description to better record the effects of levelling the Skill.

2024-04-04 19:00:04 +0000 UTC View PostNate groaned in pain as he collapsed to the forest floor. The metal ball that had struck him in the head rolled through the grass before vanishing to appear in Luc’s hand. The bastard just smiled...
2024-04-02 19:00:05 +0000 UTC View PostNate walked back to the Northern Gate in the quiet morning gloom of Firth forest. In the sky above him floated Frick. The tug on his Mana Reserve from his Barrier rune and Familiar was enough to be...
2024-03-31 19:00:08 +0000 UTC View PostNate strolled across the market square back towards the Oaken Ring. Frick seemed to sense his irritation and chose to pretend to walk instead of ride on his shoulder. There would be no letting it f...
2024-03-28 19:00:05 +0000 UTC View PostKiri moved across the dirt like a ghost, or more aptly, a shade. The Orc she faced off against continued to wade forward like an indomitable tide, taking everything she had in stride as cuts appear...
2024-03-27 19:00:07 +0000 UTC View PostNate’s eyebrows climbed up his forehead as Aisling asked him if he was ready to meet his teacher. Teacher? What teacher? Had she found someone who could help him discover more Sigils? Or explain ...
2024-03-26 19:00:06 +0000 UTC View PostEdit Announcement: I've gone back and updated the Tournament frequency to be once every four years. That's all. Complaints and comments below thanks. Back to your regularly schedule program.

2024-03-25 19:00:10 +0000 UTC View PostNate woke before the sun was up. Sleep had been difficult. He was already sleeping less, down to about six hours a night from his normal eight to ten. He chalked that development up to his heighten...
2024-03-24 19:00:04 +0000 UTC View PostNate smiled to himself. He’d stumbled onto something interesting. He’d always found it curious that he’d seen a different Sigil for Fire than the one he’d used in the Dungeon. Now, a second...
2024-03-21 19:00:06 +0000 UTC View PostKiri eyed the small fort, because that was the only way to describe it. Bloody System shenanigans is what it was. She hadn’t seen a single tree so far in this Dungeon, but somehow there was a sma...
2024-03-20 19:00:06 +0000 UTC View PostNate watched Kiri walk forward and vanish into the spatial fold that was the entrance to the Dungeon. He’d known what she would want to do ever since she’d thrown out the idea of getting the Ac...
2024-03-19 19:00:06 +0000 UTC View PostKiri and Nate stood before the Dungeon. She couldn’t believe he’d found one. She’d hoped, but she hadn’t dared believe it could be done. Especially not in such a short timeframe. She suppos...
2024-03-18 19:00:06 +0000 UTC View PostSo, I intend to publish The Runic Artist at some point. I am tossing up on some book titles and thought "You should ask the Patrons."
The series will be called The Runic Artist but each book ...
2024-03-18 10:59:04 +0000 UTC View PostNate sat down at the dinner table with a smile. Rania was an excellent cook and the food smelled positively divine. Ever since his Perception stat had started increasing he’d found his sense of s...
2024-03-17 19:00:07 +0000 UTC View PostAs some of you from the Discord already know, for the next 2 weeks starting on Monday there will be 5 chapters a week for 2 weeks on Patreon to celebrate getting into the Top 10 on Rising Stars on ...
2024-03-15 02:35:19 +0000 UTC View PostKiri panted, hands on her knees as sweat dripped down her face. She glared at the tree in front of her. It hadn’t done anything to her. Not really. But then, it hadn’t helped her at all either....
2024-03-14 19:00:05 +0000 UTC View PostNate stood back amazed. Not at the painting. He was happy with it, but it was far from his favourite or even best work. No, what left him amazed was the speed at which he was able to create the pai...
2024-03-12 19:00:05 +0000 UTC View PostNate had to admit, he was enjoying this. After keeping these secrets for so long, it felt good to get them out. Of course, the reaction of Aisling and Deverell was definitely the icing on the cake....
2024-03-10 19:00:07 +0000 UTC View PostSo we know that Kiri is getting a new Class. However the rarity is not set in stone. Let me know what you think she should get.
2024-03-08 10:05:15 +0000 UTC View PostThe Notification of his new Class flowed in front of Nate’s eyes as he projected the results to the group, the usual five Skill options following the additional Stats.
Congratulations o...
2024-03-07 19:00:04 +0000 UTC View PostNate woke slowly to a wooden ceiling and a decently comfortable bed. Looking around he recognised his surroundings. They were familiar to him. He was in Kiri’s room. Glancing over he saw Kiri sit...
