Today was a big outlining day, which means only one chapter. My schedule is going to be a bit wonky this weekend, so uploads will be weird.
But also after this week, things should be settled and I can start getting back to the days of ...

Ghost’s sensors were temporarily distracted by an explosion of energy. But after identifying it as an anomaly, Ghost dismissed it; the ambient energy was largely positive. It could wait until the tests had concluded.
“Begin.”

With a sharpened focus, Randidly rapidly realized that the cylinder was lined with extremely dense runic engravings. So dense they were that even when Randidly walked up to the thing, he could barely distinguish the different strokes. It was so overw...

Hank watched as Alana considered the land before them.
“It’s a trap,” Dozer rumbled calmly. Alana chuckled but said nothing.
Before them lay the borderlands. And not just the borderlands, but it was the borderlands that lay...

It hurt. It hurt more than anything had ever hurt. To compare the pain from being eaten alive in the dungeon by acid on that first day was to compare a seed to a tree. But Randidly was a very different individual than he had been in the begi...

To his credit, Dr. Henrik only blinked once before he answered. “Oh, Sir Hatch. I hadn’t noticed you’d arrived. I didn’t mean to say you are not valuable, only-”

The first thought Randidly had when he walked in was that the lights were too low. Normally, this wouldn’t be a problem at all for him; his Perception meant his gaze focused at a speed that changes in lighting barely affected him. It would...

Hey guys,
Apologies, but there will be no chapters tonight. Both because I waffled on how to handle this charity dinner, and also my mind was on other things.
To that point, I wanted to post a bit about stats and the System and its presence i...

Randidly was awkwardly pulling at the collar of his fitted suit when he received the message from Dinesh.

As a slight aside, I have also been considering the departure of the System as a chapter by chapter presence. For plot reasons, this makes a lot of sense, but I'm also somewhat annoyed with the lack of it. I have some thougts on it.

I will admit that I am a more passive person, and I like to watch before I act. But Randidly isn't me. He is the force of natural that has survived under the thumb of the System. I'll try and keep him more on character in the future.
