CWD: GA ~ Nine

Nacho stood in the demo kitchen of the Satiation Shoppe and tried to ignore the annoyed sighs of the Cinnabunny. He was intrigued by this very expensive Common Cook class, and he was dying to know about the skills, so he dove right in.

Crossing the threshold of the Satiation Shoppe, Nacho received a variety of messages.

Greetings, Player!

Congratulations! You not only did well on your evaluation, but you scored in the top one percent! That’s not easy t...

CWD: GA ~ Seven

Nacho looked around at the mall surrounding a central abyss, and his inner safety-minded self was happy there were railings. He found himself without the backpack he’d strapped on before the Juxtaposition began, but he was confident he’d have ...

CWD: GA ~ Six

The soon-to-be-official assassin started a tiny fire in the crypt, solely for the light, and prepared for his midnight run. Taking a burial shroud, he rubbed it in dust until it became a dark gray, then used it to cover his cuirass and anything el...

Not wanting to take a chance on a fire that night, Nacho cracked open the pinecones he’d collected and added pine nuts to his peanuts and berries, washing the meal down with a large gulp of water that had been cooled by the stone cave. For now, ...

Nacho found the cave on the north side of the mound of rocks. Inside waited a trio of Rat Nasties, a rodent monster similar to the Claw Squirrels, but with exponentially less cuteness to them. The rats had filthy fur, diseased pink tails, and both...

“Yay, I’m not crazy!” Nacho was more relieved than he would ever let his friends know. That would’ve been awkward if the clock had hit twelve-oh-one and they’d just been standing in the apartment wearing their backpacks, not to mention a...

Nacho watched his friends, doing everything he could to delay their departure. As the time of their wedding drew closer, his eyes flicked to Reuben just as his larger friend tugged on the collar of his tuxedo. Looking slightly to the left, where B...

“Crave!” Nacho snarled as he yanked himself away from the table, staggered into his bedroom, stumbled across the dirty clothes littering the floor, and crashed into his closet door. He was back in his apartment? Impossible! He would’ve thoug...

CWD: GA ~ Prologue

“It’s time to go.”

On the last night of his life, Nacho stood perfectly still, wrists manacled as his eyes roved one of the few overgrown green spaces of the camp. At that moment, he was doing his best to smell the roses that had bloom...

I'm considering making a Special Edition hardcover of one of my books, with ten full-page illustrations in it. The only question is, where do I start? That’s where you come in!

I can only do one to start with, which should it be?

Chapters start again on Monday!

Hi guys! With implode being sent to you on Wednesday, I figure you probably don’t want more of those chapters today!


I’ve got a couple more things in the tank ready to go!

It took some doing, but Joe believed that he had managed a working version on only the second attempt. The first one wouldn't even start up—for some reason, any mana he put into it was continually removed—until he located a set of variables th...

“To get the most out of my Lore, I need to bring my Magical Matrices to a higher tier. If I can bring it to the Journeyman rank, I will gain at least a forty percent bonus to putting concepts into actual practice.” Joe was doing a quick rundow...

The Ritualist did his best to concentrate on the changes that he was enacting, but it was very difficult to concentrate with a swarm of Dwarves ransacking the building behind him. Clearly whatever they had been finding was extremely exciting, beca...

Unlike every other time that he had accessed a teleportation field or an elevator, the trip was not instantaneous. In fact, it felt much more like riding the Bifrost than it did teleporting from one location to another instantly. Also, what might ...

Happily, the presence of Major Cleave made the welcoming party actually welcoming, instead of an angry mob out for their blood. It was with a collective sigh of relief that they were welcomed into the city, which apparently had been expecting to b...

Contrary to Joe's expectations, they were not led to a secret tunnel. There was no entrance hidden behind a bush, no waterfall guarding a secret path to a magical city. Instead, they simply began their trek into the mountains, following a narrow p...
