《Gratuitous Item Crafting and Descriptions (and shoddy economics)》Axe of Devastation and Intermittent Flatulence
Advertisement
Jimmy feasted curtesy of his dad's new found wealth, before setting his mind to experiment with making an axe. "Should be fun, doesn't look too hard, might try and give though to what I want it to do, worked with the amulet a bit."
The forge was still rather hot, so it took but a few minutes to heat it up again, and his dad had decided to do all he could to make Jimmy continue to make him strange artifacts. He knew Jimmy would be the source of his success. So he did the bellows while Jimmy did his thing.
The haft was a simple case of carving hard-wood into a comfortable and long piece perfect for swinging with great leaverage. Jimmy farted a couple of times when holding it, but thought little of it. The Axe head was a lot more interesting.
Axes are a lot more brutal and less fine than swords, usually anyway, so Jimmy just grabbed a steel ingot and beat upon it, with intense focus devastation, damage, hacking, strength, but couldn't stop himself from folding the steel many times as he was wont to do.
Steadily the curved V of the head was formed. A sheen of blue and red along the tips was slowly evident. Raw power emanated from the blade, and the patterns Jimmy added to it made it very noticable. Repeated dousing and reheating and smacking and an offhanded adjustment to the butt of the head increased the clear violent utility of the Axe of Devastation and Intermittant Flatulence.
Jimmy's dad would later sell it to a barbarian warlord mercenary to the King for a tidy sum of gold and an extention to his smithery.
Gro'Abox the Mighty, wielder of the Axe was unstoppable in war. Every swing would rip through the air leaving steam, and foes would be rent no matter if they managed to block with a shield or parry. They would quite simply die, churned through like butter. Gro'Abox became a legend and his mercenary warband became filthy rich, slowly ending up far away in a bountyful land which had orks constantly attacking him for the good fight. Unfortunately, his regular farting meant that his many wives were reluctant to bed him,and his sons that he did were reluctant to spend much time with him, so as he eventually got to old to fight well, he did not have a properly trained son to take up the Axe of Devastating and Intermittant Flatulence, and his fiefdom was steadily frayed and overwhelmed by the ork hoards who did not have a proper challenge. Within a decade of his death his fiefdom was no more.

Old Riding Author Lunatic Asylum
Just off the A19, in the dark, incomprehensible lands known as Yorkshire, there lies a town. A town where shadow-silent alleys glint with the secret hunger of knives. Where blood soaks the chipboard window shutters of forsaken terraces stretching off into the night. Where the smog-choked air rattles with the depraved laughter echoing out from clubs that can only generously be described as post-apocalyptic. Well, that’s Middlesbrough. But down the A19 a bit (an impossibly long way down, actually) there lies another town: Raughnen, in the ancient, forgotten Old Riding. It is an equal match in muggery and thuggery alike. It also has magic spells and pointy wizard hats. And now, across the miles and across all sensibilities, a pretty nasty power (a magic one) calls out for its pretty nasty counterpart (a decidedly unmagic one): a proper sound Boro lad. Nothing good can come of it. This is a collection of one novella and four connected short stories: I. A Yorkshire Summoning II. Old Riding Day Trip (the novella) III. Heaven is a Parmo IV. Death on the 66 V. Death on the 257 In total, this comprises 34 chapters totalling around 35,000 words, so try not to worry. It will be over relatively quickly. There are three more short stories with more tenuous links to the core collection: Rush, Paper Round and Scenario 79: Sausage Fingers, all of which can be found in my collection Short Records of Misadventure. Reading these may allow you to make more sense of certain parts of the story, if any sense is to be made at all. NOTE: There are instances of prejudice and discrimination within these stories, including elements of sexism and ageism, which are purely the thoughts and actions of the characters involved and which certainly do not reflect my own views on these matters. ANOTHER NOTE; A WARNING, PERHAPS: This can get a bit weird. In less than 150 pages, we have four viewpoints, first and third person narratives, and a completely disjointed plot with lots of gaps, dead ends and no real resolution. Also ZERO lunatic asylums. It's all a bit odd. If that sort of thing isn't your cup of tea, which it most likely isn't, it might be best to move on now.

REND
In an alternate reality Earth, where a mysterious organization of superhumans fights eldritch horrors taking over people's minds, Erind Hartwell, a first-year law student with psychopathic tendencies and obsessive compulsion to follow an inexplicably arbitrary set of Rules, seemed normal in comparison. And that is what she is going for. Society frowned on different—especially her kind of different. Rule #4, "I wouldn’t bother the world as long as it didn't bother me." Unfortunately, the world bothered Erind's normal life. On the brink of death, an entity came offering powers to save her. Left with no other choice, she accepted it, changing into a new form—the first of many that'll help her survive this dangerous world. REND is a twist on the superpowered human genre combined with eldritch horror, but its main emphasis is character development and exploration, as it is mainly a psychological story. REND offers a unique reading experience. If you're looking for something different from the mainstream, then this story just might provide the experience you didn't know you were looking for. Cover is part of a wallpaper art commissioned from CristianAC. Chapter release every multiple of 5 days (5th, 10th, 15th, etc.) of the month. 10 am Central/ 3pm GMT
