LONG chapter for you!

There was so much packed into Cirayus’ words, Vir hardly knew where to begin. More than the mention of the Akh Nara, though, there was something else the giant said that caught his atte...
2023-06-16 17:24:05 +0000 UTC View PostNOTE: Welcome to Arc 5! Very curious to hear your thoughts on this section - it underwent a bunch of edits since I wasn't happy with the 1st version.
Also got a poll coming up, so stick around for that!

2023-06-16 17:23:01 +0000 UTC View PostNOTE: Decided to split up an arc 4 chapter on RR into two, so it'll offset the chapter numbers by 1. Doesn't impact anything else on patreon, but tomorrow's chapter will be 153, not 152 :-)
The moment Vir glimpsed red in the corner of his ey...
2023-06-15 17:31:48 +0000 UTC View Post“We need more firepower,” Vir said. “It’s obvious we aren’t hurting him.”
“Right. So what—Vir!!?” Maiya shouted in panic, right as Cirayus pummeled Vir with his tower shield, sending him flying.
They’d both...

Vir made the first move, launching an Empowered chakram at the demon, further augmenting his throw with Parai’s channeling technique. His new upgrade sent the disc ri...
2023-06-13 16:23:24 +0000 UTC View PostNOTE: Quick PSA - Been working 12-16 hr days editing + writing recently (been spending more time editing to get the chapters to a higher level of quality, which takes a ton of time). This isn't really sustainable, so as of today, RR has shifted to...
2023-06-12 17:18:21 +0000 UTC View Post“You ready?” Maiya asked, standing proudly in Vir’s doorway. It wasn’t quite the look he’d expected. In fact, it was just about the opposite. While training, Vir had thought of several ways of cheering up his best friend, th...
2023-06-09 15:55:00 +0000 UTC View PostVir returned to his Undercity home exhausted. Though as much as he envied Neel, who promptly curled up on the floor and fell asleep, there was far too much left to even think about resting. Most important of which was growing his powe...
2023-06-09 15:51:25 +0000 UTC View PostTwo red demons faced off in a ring, though one was considerably larger than the other. They wore only loincloths and stood barefoot atop the sandy floor, appraising each other, each sure of his own victory.
“Fight!” the refe...
2023-06-08 14:27:51 +0000 UTC View PostNOTE: I split this chapter up on RR, so the patreon version technically contains two chapters worth of content.

“You’ve been through the Ash…” Vir said in disbelief. “And you survived?”
“I nea...
2023-06-07 14:40:31 +0000 UTC View Post“What is this?” Maiya said in wonder, prompting Vir to chuckle.
“That was my exact reaction. This is the real Pagan Order. It seems most other royals know that the country’s a demon sanctuary, but few k...
2023-06-06 15:11:39 +0000 UTC View PostWhen Vir entered the Tribunal’s audience chambers, he expected he’d be alone. Instead, all twenty of the raiders from last night’s raid stood in a row, hands clasped behind their back. His first reaction was to panic seeing so many exposed d...
2023-06-05 16:49:56 +0000 UTC View Post“I’m sorry, Vir. The Pagan Order’s heresy must be brought to light,” Tia said, standing in front of the leaders of every major nation in the Known World. “Tell your people. Tell everyone that the Order is a haven for demons. They plot to...
2023-06-02 18:40:27 +0000 UTC View Post“What are you doing here?” Vir whispered. “Why are you—!?”
Before he knew it, Maiya had enveloped him in a hug, his thoughts blown away by a crimson wind. And when her sweet-smelling, nostalgic fragrance touched him, he lo...
2023-06-02 17:47:45 +0000 UTC View Post“You’re not just saving these demons,” Princess Tiyana seethed. “You're allowing humans to die because that's exactly what they'll do if you free them. I'm sorry, Apra. I'll not stand aside and watch this tragedy unfol...
2023-06-01 17:18:16 +0000 UTC View PostFor the longest moment, Maiya simply stared. It was akin to walking into one’s home and finding a Prana Swarm lurking in the corner. Or an Ash Gate. Or something equally as ridiculous.
How? Why? No. May...
2023-05-31 18:05:14 +0000 UTC View Post“What would you suggest we do, madam?” Garrison Commander Rohin asked, bowing deferentially.
Don’t ask me! That’s your job, isn’t it?
Only through pure strength of will did Maiya suppress the sigh she wa...
2023-05-30 16:18:45 +0000 UTC View Post“We have incoming!” Badal shouted over the wind as they soared above Kin’jal territory. Clouds obscured the moonlight, darkening their surroundings, and Vir wondered how the pilot flew the Acira without Prana Vision. 2023-05-26 17:04:08 +0000 UTC View Post
Maiya descended upon Kin’jal Garrison Nihira at dusk, anxious about what was to come.
Princess Ira had seemed innocent enough, at first, with her teddy bear collection and pink room. Someone with a soft sport for such cute thi...
2023-05-26 17:00:49 +0000 UTC View PostNOTE: Now that the $10 tier is at 35 chapters ahead of RR, all tiers gain more chapters. The $5 tier goes up to 8 chapters, from 5, and the $10 tier goes up to 18, from 15. Enjoy!

“O-Oh hi, Apra! Fancy seeing you around here!” Tia said, waving energetically.
Does she know? Was Vir’s first reaction. It seemed unlikely; Haymi hadn't given him up when she'd healed him. Why would she now? Besides, ...
2023-05-24 15:15:18 +0000 UTC View PostZora led Vir through the maze of tunnels, away from the Undercity, descending as they went. Vir rightly grew anxious as they descended deeper into the bowels of the earth. Vir’s history with deep, dark places hadn’t exactly been stellar—firs...
2023-05-23 16:05:15 +0000 UTC View PostWhen the lift finally stopped against the rocky earth of the great cavern, it wasn’t the four armed demons bustling around that caught Vir’s eye first. Nor was it their looks of happiness and joviality.
“These lamps… they’re not ma...

“Somebody better start talking,” Vir said, cautiously eyeing the dozen soldiers in the room. Dance of the Shadow Demon was ready to go anytime.
“Allow me,” Reth’s ‘slave’ said, tossing her collar aside. “This was...
2023-05-19 17:53:14 +0000 UTC View PostThe moment Vir stepped foot into Lord Reth’s audience chamber, he knew he’d made a mistake.
The ruler of the Pagan Order sat on an enormous throne. Vir guessed even King Rayid’s throne in Daha couldn’t compare to the dizzying array o...
2023-05-19 17:51:33 +0000 UTC View PostBalindam was… not what Vir expected. Not at all. In fact, he was half-convinced the pilot had lied, and that he’d fallen prey to some elaborate trap.
The only ability he could use in the air was Prana Blade, but Vir doubted he n...
2023-05-18 15:16:36 +0000 UTC View PostVir prepared to use Dance of the Shadow Demon to enter his shared bedroom suite. Partly out of a desire not to wake anyone, but with as big as the space was, that was hardly a concern. Rather, he wanted to grab his things and get Neel wit...
2023-05-17 15:33:50 +0000 UTC View Post“And then he said, ‘I’m not dead’?” Vason said, doing his best Vir impersonation.
Haymi giggled while Tia burst out laughing, spitting her mead all across the table in a very unladylike fashion.
All four of them were...
2023-05-16 16:03:41 +0000 UTC View PostMaiya groaned at the monstrous pile of tomes in front of her. When Princess Ira had said that her chores would be reduced from now on, she’d jumped for joy.
Now, she’d give anything to get those chores back. Anything 2023-05-15 17:07:57 +0000 UTC View Post
