Death After Death Ch. 159-160
Ch. 159 - Save PointElthena was never far from his mind on the voyage north, but by the time they’d made landfall, he’d made peace with it. This life was important, but this body was old and starting to get a little worn out, so he was going to lock in the events here as well as he could, then p...
Brewing Bad Ch. 83
As of this week, Brewing Bad is going to twice a week on RR/SH, so as soon as that works its way through Patreon's bonus chapter backlog, it will go twice a week here as well. Should be before the end of the month. Ch. 83 - The Waiting GameThat strained interaction got Lucas and Heisenburgle’s...
Death After Death Ch. 157-158
Ch. 157 - A Short WarThe war that followed was both brutal and short, at least if the reports were to be believed. Simon attended court every day during that period, listening to the infrequent updates from messengers that relayed the status of the war, one engagement and naval battle at a time. Sim...
Brewing Bad Ch. 82
Ch. 82 - Elemental NatureLucas spent the rest of the day wandering the expansive building. No one stopped him if he tried to do that. If he went down the hallways to the other buildings, though, the guards asked his business and politely turned him away. It was a strange place, and the closest he co...
Death After Death Ch. 155-156
Ch. 155 - Turning of the YearsSimon spent most of the next few weeks and months in the library. He started going on longer and longer walks, and eventually, he went to the gym. That was mostly for the restorative hot springs, though he did eventually try to spar with men he’d once been able to bea...
Brewing Bad Ch. 81
Ch. 81 - All NighterLucas tried hard not to laugh as the three-foot gnome in front of him struck a pose and delivered his last statement like it was supposed to be intimidating. In the end, he was unable to keep the smirk entirely off his face. So, instead, he bowed low enough to hide it as he intro...
Death After Death Ch. 153-154
Ch. 153 - A Nice ViewSimon’s recovery was slow, only compared to everything else he’d been through. He was used to healing or dying almost immediately, and there had been only a few instances where he’d been forced to actually let his body mend, the most notable of which had been ages ago when...
Brewing Bad Ch. 80
Ch. 80 - Meet the New BossLucas left the manor, clean, well-dressed, and as prepared as he could be less than an hour after he arrived. Just like that, everything he’d spent so long was getting smaller and smaller behind him in the review mirror as he set out into the unknown. The rearview mirror ...
Death After Death Ch. 151-152
Ch. 151 - Back in BedSimon woke, groggily. When he felt the blankets beneath him, he assumed that he was back in bed. That was expected, though, and he accepted it as the price of accomplishing the impossible. He only hoped that it was enough to finally solve the damn volcano level. It was only when...
Brewing Bad Ch. 78-79
Bonus chapter! (Because this one is a 2 parter)Ch. 78 - Starting OverLucas reached for his cup of tea. Despite the fact that it was still scalding, he took a sip to give him a moment to think. The idea that it might be poisoned meant nothing compared to everything else that was going on. Honestly, c...
Death After Death Ch. 149-150
Ch. 149 - ImpossibleSimon charged through the knots of people on the road where he couldn’t run around them, outrunning the insults and the outrage even before he could really hear them. None of that mattered. There was no time for politeness. While part of him hoped this was a false alarm, the re...
A Few Updates
Hello everyone. I just wanted to make a few updates. The first one is that while scheduling posts I inadvertently sent out a post for Death After Death that's not scheduled for weeks from now. I would not recommend reading, because it is full of spoilers for the current content.Why am I scheduli...
Brewing Bad Ch. 77
Ch. 77 - Where it all StartedThough he was conscious when he fell, that became less certain over time as he was disarmed and trussed up like a Thanksgiving Turkey. Whether it was because whatever drug they’d put in the oil was continuing to take its toll the longer he breathed it in, or because it...
Death After Death Ch. 147-148
Ch. 147 - Picture PerfectIt took another three weeks of walking, two run-ins with beast men, and an encounter with bandits that ended very poorly for them before Simon finally set eyes on pre-eruption Ionar. It turned out that his experience points didn’t go down on any of those days either, not e...
Brewing Bad Ch. 76
Ch. 76 - Some Like it Hot (part 3)Lucas immediately feared a double cross, but instead, it was just a handful of off-duty women that had come from one of the lower floors. They looked tired but bore no weapons; the most dangerous thing about them seemed to be the outfits they wore.“I have some cor...
Death After Death Ch. 145-146
Ch. 145 - SouthThe trip back to Schwarzenbruck was not much more challenging than the trip to the barrows had been. It was a few days longer because Simon chose to stay off the main road as much as possible. Both the rugged terrain and the extra days on the trail meant that he encountered more zombi...
Brewing Bad Ch. 74-75
So first, as promised, a bonus chapter. I hope you enjoy it. Second, the chapters I've been writing for this story the last couple weeks... Well, they are awesome. No spoilers of course, but certainly well above average. I love all my stories equally of course, but lately Brewing Bad is the most...
Death After Death Ch. 143-144
Ch. 143 - A MiracleSimon wasn’t sure how this would work exactly, but there was no time left to deliberate. Any minute now, Freya’s heart was going to stop, her body was going to spasm as her organs shut down, and she’d be replaced by an abomination that could only ever be a mockery of the wom...
Brewing Bad Ch. 73
Alchemy this week, bonus chapter next week. Some fun stuff coming up! Ch. 73 - Finally AloneNo one walked away from that little conference happy. Lord Torvin was not used to his plans being objected to, but he did agree that Lucas had a point and that he would find some way to address his concerns w...
Death After Death Ch. 141-142
Ch. 141 - A Bit of PreparationThe situation was much as Simon had left it and largely unchanged from his last few visits. There was trouble in the north. No one quite knew what it was or why it had stopped trade to the north, yet mercenaries had been hired and dispatched. In fact, asking around, it ...
Brewing Bad Ch. 72
Ch. 72 - Making PlansLucas was no judge of these things, but if he had to say so, he would have called the whole winter feast an unmitigated success. The guests were merry, the house was full, and by the end of it, the food had largely vanished. It was only after dinner was complete, and Lucas had s...
Death After Death Ch. 139-140
Ch. 139 - A Long Way from AnywhereSimon didn’t have paper to document his journey. Instead, he used a stick to document his time. As near as he could tell, he was going to the south-west. Every day that he made good progress got a big notch, and every day that he made slow progress got a small one...
Brewing Bad Ch. 70-71
Another bonus chapter for my fine readers. I think that brings us to 15 ahead of the general public. I can't wait until 2 a week is an every week sort of thing, but those days are coming. Ch. 70 - A Long Cold WinterThe hectic pace only held up as long as the weather did. In those waning weeks of...
Death After Death Ch. 137-138
Ch. 137 - Duties and DemandsWhen all was said and done, almost a season later, just as the heat of summer was starting to set in, they finally arrived in Crowvar once more. As an errand for the domain, it probably had not been worth that much time. However, Simon had learned enough that he really di...
Brewing Bad Ch. 69
Ch. 69 - Harvest SeasonLucas wiped the sweat that had gathered on his brow in defiance of the chill. “Is that the last one?” he called up to where Hura’gh was manning the pulley above him.“Nah,” he called down. “Still a couple more to go.”They’d installed this trap door so they could...
Tenebroum PLUS Ch. 168-169
Ch. 168 - Nothing Ever HappensLeo regarded the cake as he would an enemy while everyone else sang him happy birthday, but he tried not to let it show on his face. After all, despite their differences, the other children had gone to such efforts to make this, and even though they didn’t see eye to ...
Death After Death Ch. 135-136
Ch. 135 - Slow ProgressSimon deliberated on it for a day before he decided on public executions. Courtiers and Varten’s widow spent that day arguing that he should torture one or more of them to get to the truth so fervently that he was fairly sure that they were in on it, but he ignored them.Not ...
Brewing Bad Ch. 67-68 (End Book 1)
This completes the end of Book 1. Its a little longer than I anticipated, but I welcome feedback for anywhere in the middle you think I could tighten up and anywhere in the ending you think I could make punchier. Obviously this is not the end of Lucas's story, and the so new excitement is coming...
Tenebroum PLUS Ch. 166-167
Ch. 166 - The Long Way DownIt took some time for Oroza to figure out that she was dead. Not just dead, but in the afterlife, at least in a sense. It should have been obvious from the beginning, of course, as she stepped free from the shredded remains of dull scales and emaciated flesh on the shore a...
Death After Death Ch. 133-134
Ch. 133 - For the Right ReasonsIt was evident from the first moments that Varten didn’t stand a chance against Simon. In the time since they’d last met, he’d grown older and lazier; his steps were not as sure, and his sword strokes were not as decisive as they’d once been. He was obviously o...
