《Sunday Game Sessions》Chapter 13

Shadows flicker along the corridor as the invisible form of Wiscar the halfling reaches the top of the stairs. he thinks to himself as he silently moves along the corridor. Touching his amulet, he uses X-ray vision to look into the two rooms and he sees the five figures of the party members sleeping in their beds. He blows out the candles in the alcoves along the passage, plunging the upper level of the inn into darkness.
As his infravision resolves the nearby layout, he withdraws his lock picks and begins working on the first door. Standing silently after the click of the lock is released, he listens for any movement within. Hearing nothing, he pushes open the door and sees the heat pattern of the female warrior in her bed.
he thinks as he creeps up to Beler and slits her throat. Her eyes shoot open, then immediately begin to dim as he, visible again, moves to the inner door separating the party’s two rooms.
Energy begins to gather as Beler’s time sprite tries to make sense of the scene in front of her. Telepathically screaming to the other time sprites does nothing as they slumber with the mortal hosts.
After a moment, Hernan’s time sprite comes to awareness as the elf’s body bleeds to death in his bed. Both sprites try to determine who this figure is and why he is attacking them.
After methodically executing each of the party members, Wiscar finishes by plunging his dagger in Nalda’s chest.
With all hosts dead, divine energy rushes back into the time sprites and within moments they are forced back to an earlier time.

With a crash, the door to their main room smashes open. With the humans unable to see, Hernan shouts that no one is in the doorway or has entered the room yet. Moments later, Hernan cries out and falls to the ground and a small heat source appears to Yenser above his body.
The party feels energy begin to slowly gather with the elf’s death.
Yenser swings her sword at the form but misses him. As he returns her attack he manages to cut her. The wound immediately feels like fire, clearly indicating the assassin is using some sort of poison.
Moving towards the halfing, the humans try to attack in the dark and each ends up swinging wildly.
Throwing a dagger at Nalda, she experiences the same feeling of a burning wound in her shoulder. “His weapons are poisoned” she shouts into the darkness.
As the time sprites try to coordinate the party’s attacks and tell the humans where to strike, the halfing mutters a command word and vanishes again. The group begins taking stock of themselves after the attack when suddenly the halfing appears again, having backstabbed the cleric Damin.
Light falls into the room, finally allowing Gevot to see, as a drunken group ascends the stairs to investigate the commotion. The halfling charges at Frank, who swings at him and misses. After multiple thrusts and parries, the halfling finally wears the thief down and the group of time sprites again feel the divine energy gathering as the halfling vanishes.

Apocalypse at Mighty Max
God sold us out and the world ended... well, sort of. God may have sold us, or at least, our universe but our world didn't end. Instead, the new owners decided to play, and we all know what that means: Monsters, a System, Magic, Cultivation, and, of course, two new moons! Thanks for reading! I appreciate the interest. This is a rough draft and is intended to flesh out some ideas for a novel that I had. Maybe figure out if I want to do this author thing, you know? If you want immediately OP MCs, fights every chapter, a harem, this is not the story for you. Sorry about that. If you're willing to put up with a long growth curve, an MC that doesn't know what he's doing most of the time but is trying his best both to survive and to help his friends survive, you might enjoy the story. I'm just trying to have fun, maybe create something that in a second draft I can sell on the eBook market. If you're not into that, not into providing helpful comments for revisions, hey, that's cool, but do us both a favor and stop reading now. ** Oh, release schedule For the first weeks, I'll be releasing a chapter (1800-3000 words) a day. Following that, I'll be releasing whenever the mood strikes me. If I get some feedback, the mood might strike me more often, hint! hint!

Irregular (Rewritten)
(This is the improved and rewritten version of Irregular!) Pain and suffering make a man strong or so they say, it makes us wonder. The people who have started this saying how much have they been through, did they have fingernails torn to shreds under their desperate attempts to escape? Did they attempt to rip out their own throats simply to escape their painful existence? Did the hunger and thirst gnaw a hole through their bodies until indescribable pain became the norm? We think these people do not know what they are talking about, throwing around words that sound pleasant. We are The Irregulars.We are born from pain, hatred our sustenance and suffering our armour. And we WILL have our vengeance.

Paternum: A Superhero Story
When Quinn finds an experimental superpower-granting costume in their parents’ attic, they didn’t expect to be drawn into a web of superhuman intrigue, but their discovery serves as the catalyst for that conspiracy to slowly unravel. At it’s heart, Paternum is an extended coming-of-age story for the main character as they become a superhero, in a world with more reasonable stakes and less powerful heroes than many superheroic worlds. Themes include what art means to different people, and what it means to be a patron, whether as a sponsor, a parent, or a supporter. I consider Paternum‘s primary influences to be the various versions of Spider-Man, J. C. McCrae’s own superhero story Worm, and Drew Hayes’ story SuperPowereds. I hope that fans of such stories can find something to enjoy in mine as well. Paternum is primarily hosted on my website (thevoidwrites.com) where it updates weekly in groups of scenes totalling approximately 2000 words. Here on Royal Road, it will update once daily with one scene at a time, but only after each act is completed on the home site - the next batch of updates is scheduled to begin on February 5th. There is a discord channel for discussion (discordapp.com/invite/QFMM6yA), and you can vote for Paternum on topwebfiction (topwebfiction.com/vote.php?for=paternum) as well. Finally, you can buy the first book of Paternum, The Swift Uplifting Rush, in a couple different ways - as an ebook through Amazon, or directly from me for a discounted price, or as a physical paperback from Amazon. Buying the book will give you access to Drawing Hands, an exclusive arc that won't ever be published on either my site or Royal Road.
