Update

The next update will be released soon. I've had a big week.

Chapter 63. Attack

Not waiting for his new crew to follow, Abe shot down from the ship, hooking onto the ship and trees below with his tendrils as he swung himself down.

Moments later, ropes were lowered, and ghouls and skeletons began their descent, but there...

Chapter 62. Chased

They had lost a few clan members, but the raids had proven successful. Every day, their pursuers fell further behind, and after nine days of chasing them through the Vale, they had escaped.

Several banshees followed the ship as flying escort...

Chapter 61. Ship

Gliding down to the little jetty, the flying galleon, plated in steel, made its approach. 

Abe’s brow rose at the sight. The vehicle was more impressive than he had imagined. 

In his pocket, he thumbed his acorns. Selling t...

Chapter 60. Kingpin

“Is all this really necessary?” Abe said as zombies carried furniture through the wall.

“It’s a tiny sum in the grand scheme of things, Abe. And it’s good for morale. The girls need something. They lost their home, remember?” Via...

Chapter 59. Reunions

“So, where did you go back on the shardworld?” Viara said, looking Abe up and down. “And what happened to you? You’ve… changed?”

“Is it that obvious?” Abe smirked. “I evolved, but its conditions were a little strange. It’...

Chapter 58. Collision

Charging through their tiny, concrete camp, Kilik led a group of several lightly armed banshees.

Addressing a small group at the other end of camp, Viara turned at the sight of her comrade—surprised to see them back so soon.

“We ma...

Chapter 57. Gang

With the wall in place, Abe sent zombies out searching for unaffiliated undead. It would be no easy task since most would sign up as Reavers since it was one of the few ways for the unaffiliated to earn coin. But what choice did he have? He didn't...

Chapter 56. Foundations

“You sure this is the place? Looks like a rundown lot of brainless,” sneered a clumpy-haired rat behind the shadows of a street corner that overlooked the alley where Abe’s zombie accomplices put together the finishing touches on his wall. 2024-06-03 20:31:50 +0000 UTC View Post

Chapter 55. Slayer

Finding an empty alley just before the surface, Abe transformed into his walking mushroom form. There were no official restrictions for either dreamers heading below ground or the undead above it, but it was known to be far more dangerous.

T...

Chapter 54. Wealth

“So, how much exactly are you looking to sell this for?” The appraiser said, eyeing the acorn in his hand.

“I dunno; I suppose that depends on what you can give me,” Abe shrugged, not wanting to let on he was aware of its value. He d...

Running late

Sorry everyone. Things came up today. I'll try to get an update out soonish.

Chapter 53. Vale

A handful of sporelings and passengers had led an assault, but the pathetic attack hadn’t even resulted in injuries, and since then, they had learned their place. But Abe could sense them gathering beneath, plotting against him.

Eyeing acr...

Chapter 52. Vessel

Dozens of eyes stared up from the deck as Abe stood atop the wooden bulwark. It had been too long since he had taken his true form in all its glory, and the sensation filled his veins with pulsating delight. 

Unclipping his magnum, Abe ...

Chapter 51. Escape

The sporekings’ reactions seemed slow compared to his own movement, he thought as he watched them turn toward him as he propelled up through the branches toward the acorn. 

He knew his body was more physically capable, but they seemed...

Chapter 50. Acorn

Even though nobody had said anything, Abe was starting to get the impression that the sporeking guards were growing suspicious of his wandering about. 

He had tried to play it cool over the last couple of days, walking around the highes...

Chapter 49. Tickets

It was a relief not to have to worry about carrying sacks of gold coins around anymore, and hopefully, they would be easily accessible and waiting for Abe when he finally got to Lantern.

He had learned that there was a ticketing booth beside...

Chapter 48. Bounty

A discomforting number of eyes were set on Abe as he returned to down. However, since none of them questioned or confronted him, he ignored them and continued toward the Slayer branch.

The woman behind the counter wore a startled expression ...

Chapter 47. Tree

Trying to remain inconspicuous, Abe made laps around the strange town, circling near the giant tree at its center.

The closer he got to it, the more mushroom-men marching two abreast and armed with spears he spotted. The standard ...

Chapter 46. Mushrooms

Abe shook his head as he walked toward the rolling hills dotted by paddocks, with a small town nestled between farmsteads in the distance.

It was time he tested his disguise, but the swell in his stomach told him that it was a very bad idea....

Chapter 45. Part 2.

Several weeks passed as Abe familiarized himself with his new body. It was stronger than he had expected, and he constantly found new mushrooms throughout the forest.

Within his reserves, he now carried 162 Jade Caps, 327 Lance Stems, 146 Sp...

Chapter 44. Wight

Abe could hardly control himself as he dug his claws into the beast’s skull, cracking it apart and ripping pieces out as he exposed the brains to his fangs. Strength surged like never before as the bone cracked beneath his fangs, exposing the sw...

Chapter 43. Beast

Every step closer to it brought fresh waves of its scent. Whatever it was, its dream energy was stronger than the whales.

Hesitation played in Abe’s thoughts. He was still in poor condition but was strong enough to use his abilities and de...

Chapter 42. Dreams

Abe could feel Mor’kel’s body healing around him, its mushroom fibers growing and recovering, thickening around his skin until his curves and ridges faded beneath rounded edges.

He could sense both his body and the worm's aversion to the...

Chapter 41. Freedom

Crouching low against the ground, Abe lowered himself into a sprinters pose. 

He eyed his path up and out of the cave, noting every rock and foothold he would use for his escape. 

Since he couldn’t risk wasting what little ...

Chapter 40. Stuck

“I know how it sounds. Just shut up for a minute, and let me explain. No, I know that’s what they’re saying. But… Please, listen,” Anita paced the alley, trying to keep herself from talking over the person on the lines. “No, fuck—I m...

Chapter 39. Beneath.

Hazy gray filled his vision as his eyes flickered open. Abe could feel his body crying out to him in agony. 

Looking down, he eyed his broken body. His gray skin and blue veins were entirely hidden beneath a blanket of red. He could see...

Chapter 38.3

The worms strained under his command, but they obeyed as he forced them to make the whale turn sharply again, cutting off three sharks as he drove deathly energy into the beast’s crackling spheres, and beams burst out across the sky—disintegra...

Chapter 38.2

“So, how do we do this?” 

“Turn around and keep quiet,” Viara heaved.

“Got it,” Abe nodded and turned.

Viara’s arms slid beneath him a second later, and she lifted him into the air from behind.

He could h...

Chapter 38.1

Stabbing through one dwarf, Abe threw its lifeless body aside as another drove a sword into his side.

The dwarf immediately realized its mistake as it tried to pull its sword free to no effect. Abe could feel the worms wrapping their tendril...
