This is not the end…

Just what people have done since before humanity — migration. I have been running this blog on WordPress for over 12 years, and I’ve had my domain for 10. Because of costs and other reasons I decided to move away from the WordPress website, but this isn’t the end of my site. After running a blog and site for 2 decades, I’m not quitting any time soon, even if I have moved it around before. At…

The Faithful Witch (1)

Quick explanation Recently I’ve been super busy and I’m also cleaning up the apartment while doing more childcare than before and have a lot going on with my health, so I decided to pick up one of the many games I have. I chose The Faithful Witch. The Faithful Witch is a journalling game. It’s set in a world that has been befallen by (literal and/or metaphorical) darkness, and the divine has…

How to Survive as a Villain vol 1

Time to Read: 1–2 minutes Xiao Yu’an began plotting. He! Was once a CEO who everyone had high hopes for! Although his path had increasingly diverged from that of a domineering CEO’s! But! At the very least, he had once gone through that journey! As a domineering CEO, he had to get things done, be filled with drive, and be wickedly charming and radical, while prudent in…

Thadus (19)

Time to Read: 14 minutes When the warmest time of day was about to arrive, Linden reached for a bag and procured a folded piece of paper. They looked at rectangle for some time, before they steered off-course to find a stream. After some distance, they dismounted and went over to a stream cleaving the sad patches of mostly dead grass of the land scattered with the occasional tree. They crouched…

Thadus (18)

Time to Read: 8 minutes Somehow Thadus felt Rockforge with all its filth was less sullied than himself at this moment. It was a tragedy to endure this, to say the least. He was undeserving of being covered by this amount of grime. This was not a tribulation he had allowed upon himself. The sun had passed its zenith and was moving from its position to the south toward its private chambers in…

Thadus (17)

Time to Read: 17 minutes Thadus had never imagined he would one day not sleep in a bed of no lesser quality than what he had at his estate. The moment he woke up, hours after dawn, he immediately rolled out of the cot and stood up, brushing off any and all dust and dirt from his silk shirt. The tiny hut was revolting. It wasn’t as rancid as the ghastly city-state he had left some hours prior,…

Demon Summon: Chapter One

Time to Read: 36 minutes Jasper (1) “Ace!” When I heard a lively voice — perhaps one I would even call a little boyish — my steps halted at the familiarity of it. My classmates continued on their way to our next lecture, one of the other second-year anthropology students telling me they were going ahead of me, while I turned around. I saw the large group of senior students, almost all of them…

Thadus (16)

Time to Read: 18 minutes The tavern that the… the… the Beard-Maiden kept was still open. As the three of them approached it from a few houses down, said woman came out, tossing two young men onto the cobblestones. She crossed her muscular arms across her chest. “Don’t eat here if ya got no coppers. I ain’t keeping a charity, lads — it’s a tavern.” Thadus looked at Linden. They turned to him…

Thadus (15)

Time to Read: 7 minutes They were a few paces away from the mouth of the alley when Thadus felt a tug on his hem. He ignored it. Surely the wind spirit was up to some more mischief. It had been docile after temporary imprisonment. The tugging moved to his sleeve. Displeased, he paused and looked toward the sleeve. He wanted to question the cheeky thing about what it wanted now. He had no time…

Thadus (14)

Time to Read: 6 minutes It took much less time to be guided by someone who knew the alleyways. Thadus had discovered this out through Linden, unfortunately. This held true with this youth, too. As guides, the wind sprites did not care about directions much, most earth sprites could only tell the hollows from the solids, a water spirit could have gone anywhere, and fire would merely have…

Thadus (13)

Time to Read: 11 minutes While in the alleyways leading to the slums, Thadus had a peculiar feeling, like a gnawing feeling at the back of his mind, like an itch in his fingers. He turned around, and used all of his senses to search for any spirits, but couldn’t detect any he that he didn’t have control of nearby. And yet he had the odd perception that something was following him. He conjured…

Thadus (12)

Time to Read: 10 minutes — Horde Master! — Master! Master! — Listen! — Listen! — See! — Watch! — Listen! — Horde Master! — You are so very noisy. Can you not be a little quieter if you have something to tell me? — Horde Master! — Horde Master responds! — Horde Master! Listen to me! — Horde Master! Me! Me! — Report! I have! Horde Master! — …Do as you will then… Thadus saw the…

Thadus (11)

Time to Read: 13 minutes The shadows of the alley were deep as Thadus strode through them. His back was straight with righteous indignation despite his mental exhaustion. The further away he left the fiend behind, the angrier he felt. He had absolutely fallen for some mortal swindler. He had been deceived. This much he could understand and the offence of being trapped by someone this way…

Thadus (10)

Time to Read: 7 minutes Thadus felt his mood sour at the criticism. He was immaculate! Always! The devil turned to the array, facing it, but the hood obscured their eyes. They tilted their head to the side as if listening to something, but then straightened their head. The wind swept by and circled in the crossing of alleys, making Thadus’ coat flutter; the mortal’s sash got tugged, and they…

Thadus (9)

Time to Read: 10 minutes Thadus watched as the not-thief — the devil named Linden — played with a stray cat in the opening of an alley. They had yet to leave the Northern Market district and instead the not-thief had idly spent time as the sun slowly set, hood covering as much as possible; fiery hair covered, earrings hidden and eyes shadowed. As he stood there, a horse-drawn carriage…

Thadus (8)

Time to Read: 10 minutes They arrived at the silversmith’s shop as the sun was beginning to set. The fiend knocked on the door and called out, “Smith, may I enter, or is it too late at night for business?” After a few moments, the door opened. The woman standing in the opening towered over the other mortal, expression severe. It soured visibly when seeing the fiend, dressed in all dark and…

Thadus (7)

Time to Read: 6 minutes Thadus may have requested a second serving. However, it was merely because he paid enough to receive four. He was not a big eater, commonly. The fiend said nothing about this matter, and Thadus could certainly notice this. Instead, when someone new sat next to the fiend, they started chatting, asking if there was anything of note lately and how the other mortal was…
