Fighting was never the most difficult part of my life. Sure it had danger -- the possibility of painful death. Yet I was an excellent swordsman and danger was the spice and joy of my occupation. It was all the other stuff that bothered me. The most obvious frustration involved the removal of bodily wastes. Urination was the most frequent problem. Rarely di...
Hey! It's me again, DistortedSense. This is Bound in Spirals Chapter 10, as you can tell by the title. As a sort of congratulations to myself for reaching this point, I added 50% more content to this chapter (why did I do that?)! I've passed the 100,000 word mark. That's a lot of words. Anyways, enough with the self back-patting, enjoy the chapter! P.S. Than...
Monsterboy Quest – The Devil's Playground by taiyakisoba The maze of defiles and ravines seemed to have no end. Levinja slumped back against the side of the rocky wall and stayed there, unmoving, for a long time. She tried to convince herself that she was merely tired, that she was taking a rest – but she recognised all too well that dark coldness spreadi...
(Author's note: This is the penultimate chapter of A Royal Sacrifice, in which all the deeds and misdeeds committed by the evil wizard Bagdemagus lead up to a thunderous conclusion.

Not far (but just far enough) from the bustling little town of Ville de Joliesse, deep in the dark and mountainous forests that separated the queendom of Hedonia from the Western Marches, there was a tall, mysterious, and bewildering castle. The dark pines of the forest grew so thickly around it that few had ever seen most of the castle itself, but spiraling...
The individual words the priest droned were as meaningless to Alyce as the ancient runes carved into the dark rock at her back but taken together she knew their import. I had thought to see a few more summers before I heard my last rites. As a princess of the blood, she had always expected a somewhat longer and more comfortable future. True, she knew her ul...
Fair warning: This story contains some pretty dark themes. If you're okay with that, I hope you enjoy. _______________________________ For untold centuries, the Arcane Order of Sais (sye-EES) has been the keeper of a relic of ages long past -- the Amulet of Meerach (MEER-ack). In times of great danger to the realms of man, the amulet was granted to a stron...
Ch. 01 - Let Her Eat Cake --- The sound of rapid footsteps and rattling metal resonated through the decorated stone walls of the castle, as a young maid clumsily yet hurriedly ran through its lone hallways pushing a small aluminum cart. Sundown was fast approaching and her mistress's patience with her had been running thin. The still well-illuminated halls...
Disclaimer: This section will have a relatively small amount of erotic content, until the end that is. All characters are over eighteen. I do try but I can't always guarantee perfect grammar. What am I doing here? I wonder this as I stare at the summoning circle on the floor, a bronze knife in my hand. I should know better than this, I'm a trainee...
