《The Soul Force Saga》3.30
Advertisement
The sun had long since slunk behind the mountains when Connor spotted the cave. He was relieved to find no bodies littering the ground outside. Either none of his agents had come calling or Mikhail had shown a shred of good judgment and let them be. Whichever way it turned out, a great weight lifted from Connor’s shoulders.
The snow crunched under his boots when he landed and Connor sunk up to mid-calf. It must have snowed again while he was gone. He stepped out of the snow and walked down the long tunnel to his library. He sensed Mikhail there. Connor frowned. The black knight wasn’t alone. Another weak soul force was present. Who could it be? Despite what he’d told Mikhail, Connor hadn’t actually expected any of his agents to visit for weeks.
Something must have happened.
Connor picked up his pace, not running, that would be a sign of weakness and he didn’t dare show any weakness. He entered his library and found Mikhail, drawn sword held in his scaly new hand, standing over a man in dark brown and green robes. The unfortunate prisoner spotted Connor and sighed in relief.
“Master, I have an important message,” the prisoner said.
“Silence, worm. I caught this one prowling around outside two days ago, Master. Remembering your admonishment I detained him for questioning prior to execution.”
“Good, Mikhail, I’m pleased you paid attention.” Turning his gaze on the prisoner Connor continued, “I assume Eleck sent you.”
“Yes, Master.” The terrified man looked up at Mikhail then back to Connor.
Connor attempted a reassuring smile. With his current appearance he wasn’t certain how well he pulled it off. “Don’t worry, Mikhail isn’t going to kill you. He was just acting out of an abundance of caution. Your message?”

“Of course. Master Eleck says the project is on schedule, but he fears one of the Wise One’s followers may have discovered our work. A girl has disappeared, and hunters have been dispatched. He feels confident the girl will be found and dealt with, but wished to let you know what had happened.”
Connor ground his teeth. If Eleck didn’t get the cave ready or, worse, someone from the kingdom learned what they were doing he’d have nowhere to set up the crystal. “Return and tell Eleck if he fails I’ll send Mikhail to kill the lot of you.”
The trembling messenger popped to his feet and fled the library as fast as his skinny legs could carry him. Connor slammed his fist into the wall. Problems, problems, problems. Why did all his servants cause him nothing but problems?
He stalked across the library and sat in his black chair. “It isn’t too much to expect my subordinates to do their jobs competently, is it?”
“No, Master,” Mikhail said. “Say the word and I will punish them for you.”
Connor rubbed his face. Was Mikhail so stupid he didn’t realize Connor was talking about him too? Probably.
“I appreciate the offer, but Eleck still has important work to do. We’ll give him a chance to clean up his mess before we take more drastic measures.”

[Nudity Yes, but as of now no sexual content.] Phill is dying(Yeah, that cliche again). He has cancer and around a year to live. His degrading health has rendered him unable to go out as usual as once he used to do. Spending most of the time in the hospital, Phill plays Ulteria: the VMMORPG, which has time dilution giving him 2 years more than what reality is offering. That and all the world"s" of Ulteria to explore, but there will be someone and... READ THE CHAPTERS TO KNOW MORE. Note: *This story is solely focused on world-building. World-building that would help me with another project I have been working on for the last 4 months. That means it is a writing practice project for me. *Not a power fantasy. It is more inclined towards paranormal-romance twisted with virtual reality( no harem elements either), and how could I forget about the VMMORPG? So you could expect lots of new species, magic, races, system twists, and a lot of other things. That is if I update it( Naash scoffs at himself.) I am not going to update it constantly, not even twice a week. So any 1 or 2 stray readers who stumble upon this and mistakenly like it (Sorry in advance.) [I am sorry : ( I can't seem to get the spacing right in the chapter. I am going crazy, please ignore it. I will figure it out] This story is also available on webnovel under my username: Naash.

Cryptmother: Bride of the Dungeon Core
A tongue in cheek tale about a silly little necromancer and her dungeon-based woes...Graverra Graeme always knew she was destined for more than the average adventurer, even as a low level Necromancer in a realm where such practices are typically frowned upon. When she catches the eye of a lonely dungeon core she isn’t surprised… At first. Offered the chance to raise the dead and rise to her full potential but at the cost of her personal freedoms, Graverra navigates her new life Cryptmother; Bride of the dungeon core. Started as part of HereThereBeTreasure’s Fast Food Front Page Challenge, aka the Trash Race, continuing because I’m having fun, experimenting with some things, and Graverra needs her big goth castle dammit. While this is now tagged romance, it’s not a healthy one! Who knew throwing in with the first core to pay you any attention wasn’t grounds for a healthy relationship… While I plan to keep things light, ‘two impulsive power hungry users have to work together’ is kind of the backbone of this story. Consider this the official ‘toxic romance’ tagging. It’s the author’s first time building a dungeon too, bear with us 💖Dungeon Building begins around Chapter 10Dungeon Running to begin soon after Chapter 20 Now updating Wednesdays
