Undersea Reincarnation - 3.08: Up for it?

Ash was having some trouble keeping up with everything happening around her, though no one could tell from looking at her. There was one skill she had picked up while surviving ever since sh...

Tiny update - chapters should be out tomorrow - edited

Hey all. A third Undersea chapter is in progress (might be ready tomorrow, kinda tired), and tomorrow also Scorching should be out.

Undersea Reincarnation - 3.07: Noticed

Gingerly, Maurice reached into the glass jar with a piece of crunchy, slightly toasted bread and scooped a nice, glistening dollop of delightfully smooth spread. He put down the jar, then shoved th...

Scorching Ascension - 2.00: Prologue

A/N: Took me a minute, and I ended up cutting like... two big parts, because it kept getting longer. We'll save them up to the epilogue... or maybe next book's prologue. Let me know what you think!...

Scorching Ascension - 2.02: Pylon

A/N: Tomorrow I finish the prologue/epilogue. It kinda looks at other places in the universe, so I have to be careful (that's why it's taking time). I hope you enjoy this one! It was fun to work on...

Scorching Ascension - 2.01: The survivors of group #12

A/N: Three things!

• Epilogue/prologue is still in progress. Will finish it this week.

It turns out that it was very hard to locate any of the other orbs. <...

Undersea Reincarnation - 3.04: How hard could that be?

A/N: Thank you all for the nice comments! See you tomorrow for more Undersea (and Scorching)

Undersea Reincarnation - 3.03: Tuna (Unedited)

A/N: That's the third! Sorry again about the delays, everyone. It's been a year of nearly constant work and I guess I got a bit tired lol. Now I'm going to get some rest and take my time to plan th...

Scorching Ascension - 1.92: Another Portal (Unedited)

A/N: A bit rushed. I think I'll revisit this one once I've recovered a bit and flesh it out a bit more. There's also still an epilogue I want to do, but I'm so out of juice. I'll prolly post somewh...

Scorching Ascension - 1.91: Cracks (Unedited)

Standing in front of the purple-blue tear in reality, Ethan closed his eyes and put a mental finger on the connection he felt to the space around him, and as he reached out for it, he frowne...

Delay for both stories

Hey all,

both chapters are a bit intense (or maybe I'm just running on fumes), so I need a bit more time. You're still getting the 3 chapters each this week (and maybe a bonus), but I still ...

Scorching Ascension - 1.87: Lord of the lagoon (Unedited)

The [Overloding Fireball] was like a heart of heat and fire, drawing in mana with every pulse while both of Ethan’s Lesser Arcanum and [Mana Heart] began to struggle as the needs of...

Undersea Reincarnation - 2.77: Maybe (Unedited)
