Matabar. Chapter 19 - Star

That evening, Ardi had of course been late for work. Mr. Polskih had been so displeased that he’d almost fired him on the spot. Anna had come to his rescue by making up a story about how she’d asked Ardi to help her with an arithmetic problem ...

Matabar. Chapter 18 - Old Book

Out of habit, Ardi bit the tip of his tongue as he finished writing the equation on the blackboard. Then he turned to Teacher Tenebry. She rose from her seat, adjusted her light dress, and approached the student, chalk in hand.

For a moment,...

Matabar. Chapter 17 - New ways

The tight collar of the linen shirt pressed against Ardi’s neck, but he endured it. He had already tried to loosen it once, only to tear the seam. His mother hadn’t said anything, but it was clear that she hadn’t been happy about the extra w...

Matabar. Chapter 16 - Longing

Ardi was lying on the furs and listening to the voices coming up from below. He no longer needed a glass or the old ventilation shaft, which had once been a refuge for spiders. But unlike before, the hunter had no idea what his feelings were. Was ...

Matabar. Chapter 15 - Family

The sun was just beginning its journey above the plains, bringing with it an unfamiliar sensation. Instead of towering mountains, the wooden rooftops of mismatched buildings stood all around him. Moving through the dusty streets, where the first t...

Matabar. Chapter 14 - Two Homes

Ardi ran so fast that at times it seemed like his feet weren’t touching the snowy ground. Only his barely noticeable footprints were acting as proof that the gray flash streaking through the trees was not merely a vision or an illusion created b...

Matabar. Chapter 13 - Crystal Flower

Ardi exhaled and listened to the snow’s whispers hidden under the gusts of the wind. He gathered crystals from the glittering, white blanket and spun them in a dance, making them sing a barely audible trill of soft chimes. It was lighter than th...

Matabar. Chapter 12 - Atta'nha

Ardi turned slowly. At first, he thought he was looking at a glowing tree, one that had had its bark replaced by fur, and was now shimmering slightly and radiating warmth. The young hunter recoiled, stumbling over the uneven cave floor and landing...

Matabar. Chapter 11 - Mount of Memory

All Ardi could think about was running. As uprooted trees flew past him, crashing into boulders and showering his surroundings with splinters, Ardi ran. When the troll’s wild roar, which was similar to the rumbling of a mudslide eroding rocks, m...

Matabar. Chapter 10 - Pile of stones

Ardi stretched languidly, smacked his lips, and reluctantly opened his eyes, exposing his face to the rays of the hot spring sun. Compared to the snowy trails, which he admittedly loved with all his heart, the forest also had its advantages.

Matabar. Chapter 9 - Old Friends

At first, Ardi thought a moss-covered boulder had rolled out of the forest, coming to a stop with a thunderous roar that would make even the fiercest of spring storms bow before its awe-inspiring might. The water of the stream foamed and rose up i...

Matabar. Chapter 8 - Wolfs

The young hunter darted through the tall grass, playing with the awakening streams and helping them break free from the sweet lethargy of spring. He deftly broke through pieces of thin ice to catch lazy fish. Sometimes, he would stop and stare for...

Matabar. Chapter 7 - Journey

Ardi approached the sleeping Ergar carefully, his belly barely touching the cave floor. The Spirit of the Day had just begun to awaken, and the snow leopard was resting after a long hunt — they had been tracking the herd for three days, studying...

Matabar. Chapter 6 - Little Hunter

The wind stirred up whirlwinds of snow, twisting it into spirals, or sometimes spreading it out wide like sheets, covering the mountain paths and hiding the sharp stones that seemed eager to trip an unwary traveler.

Ergar did not stumble. 2025-01-18 18:06:01 +0000 UTC View Post

Matabar. Chapter 5 - First Steps

Ardi knew this feeling well. That moment when you’re awake but don’t want to open your eyes. You lie there, peeking out slightly, letting the morning sun of the approaching autumn kiss not only the cozy blanket around you, but also the tip of ...

Matabar. Chapter 4 - Dance of the snow

The snow crunched underfoot as they walked. It greedily swallowed their footsteps, sinking a few centimeters with every step they took. It also left diamond-like ice crystals all over their heavy boots, causing them to shimmer in the starlight. Sh...

Matabar. Chapter 3 - Fire and Sparks

Ardi and his father burst into his parents’ room. It was slightly larger than Ardi’s, but somehow... comfortable. Cozy. The sun shone through the slightly cracked glass of the perpetually open windows. Ardi couldn’t remember them ever being ...

Matabar. Chapter 2 - Little Brother

Ardi lay on his bed, staring up at the ceiling. Outside the window, night had already fallen. Cicadas could be heard.

They clicked amusingly, either merging into a single rhythm or creating the unpredictable cacophony that irritated the boy ...

Matabar. Chapter 1 - Blackberry Pie

Ardi had been hiding in the blackberry bushes for two hours now, watching his grandfather whistling into his humorous mustache as he carved a small animal out of a birch branch that had fallen to the ground. Was it a possum, perhaps? Or a baby squ...

Matabar: Prologue

The hypnotizing ripples foamed serenely along the surface of the clear, almost transparent mountain river. It divided the blossoming plateau into two halve...

Hello all!

I apologise for not posting chapters of the new book Matabar for almost for a month. Well, just now you can read many chapters at a time, if you haven't already done so on Royal Road. The translation, unfortunately, is not going as fast as I would...

Hello, all!

Hello, friends!

I hope you’re doing well and that the chilly autumn gloom hasn’t gotten under your skin. October has been a challenging month. During the move, I badly cut my fingers—thankfully, on my left hand, but for someone who wor...

Bad News

Good night.

A bit of bad news. Work on the Matabar has been delayed due to the various reasons. Therefore, until the chapters are in stock, the release schedule on RR and Patreon will be the same.

No additional chapters for...
