Chapter 6.9: the Western clearing
The sun was rising above the horizon, bathing the Western bandit camp in a rose light.
On one of the external wooden tree platforms, a lookout was looking East. From the approximate emplacement of their Eastern camp a thick black smocke was rising blackening the sky.
The archer had at first just looked at it with curiosity, but when a second black colon of heavy smoke rose from around the southern camp, he understood that something was wrong.
The outlaw lookout was holding his warning horn when a noise from the ground distracted him. he looked down and saw men passing under his tree like shadows.
The look out blared his horn with fright, grabbed his bow and pulled an arrow from his quiver. he was about to target one of the invaders when he heard a bow string being realised and an arrow soaring through the air.
A burning sensation spread from the men chest. Looking at it he saw a bloodied stone arrow head growing out of his belly.
Another bow string and arrow piercing the wind and the amp of another arrow suddenly stuck out of his chest.
Still he kept standing, his bow in hand.
Two, then three more arrows added themselves to his collection.
A sun ray lightened the outlaws platform and he was fully visible by all. the second arrow had exploded one of his lungs, causing his to drawn in his own blood.
In the bandit camp the horn had woken the bandits. they found themselves surrounded by demons looking like men that appeared then disappeared in a thick strange smelling, throat burning white smoke.
Slowly they lost their strength and focus. The demons had no difficulties cutting the men down.
It might have been more peaceful for them to never had woken up in the first place.
There you go, this was how the three bandit camps battles went!
To the second volume!
Finally, the Forest Ruin!

Saga of the Soul Dungeon
When Caden dies in an accidental fall, he is merged with a dungeon core in another world. The problem with that? The dungeon core wasn't dead, and he has share mind-space with it. And that doesn't take into account mastering his new abilities well enough to escape from the powerful wizard that is, understandably, leery about allowing a dungeon to escape. Even after he manages to escape he needs to found and manage a dungeon. Of course the location he chose might have a few issues of its own. He is on the border of two human nations who are not particularly pleased to share. A sentient plant race claims the dungeon as sacred ground. And, amidst the chaos, teams of adventurers just want to make a living and figure out how to deal with the latest challenge. Just so readers know, Caden is not a murder-hobo. He is a genuinely nice person trying to make the best of his situation. If you want a main character that revels in killing people, this is not the book for you. This is a reworking, and continuation, of my original novel into first person. And it is going great! The writing is well past where my original novel got to. This work will never be dropped. Hiatuses may happen due to life, but I will never abandon this fiction. Currently 20+ chapters on Patreon

September, in the Continuate: For most students living in the Third Division, the month's arrival usually means the start of a new school year. But not so for one particular freshman, whose first month at college seems to never end—literally. Set during the 20th year of the nation's Rectification Era, A Long Refrain follows Melody Quick’s attempts to escape from the month-long time loop she's found herself trapped in. Her journey, which starts in the capital city of Somnhaven, will take her across the vast expanse of land once known as Circadia, whose forgotten histories, ancient secrets and eccentric inhabitants could hold the key to discovering the true nature of the loop and the role she herself plays within it. However, the more she learns, the more cruel truths she must face: Will she really be able to handle the awful reality behind the loop, and all that it entails? And will those very same answers she's found be enough to not only break her free from the loop, but to also protect the people she holds dear? (A-and from what, exactly ...?)
