Loopshard - Chapter One-Hundred-and-Eleven
-Previous Chapter---Encyclopaedia------Next Chapter----Rare morning chapter!Also, the previous chapter has been edited.-----------------------------Chapter One-Hundred-and-ElevenThe Erudition Barter. That’s the same name as the boon given for worshipping the Tome Keeper at the Altar!Why would it be possible to use it like this??“Is there a downside to this ritual?” Adam asked the floating tome sigil.“As with any ritual, the toll must be paid. If it cannot be paid, certain adjustments are made to ensure equilibrium. If you do not possess...
Loopshard - Chapter One-Hundred-and-Ten
-Previous Chapter---Encyclopaedia------Next Chapter----I kind of just kept writing, and now this chapter ended up rather long too. Over 4k words.Since I have to get up bright and early tomorrow for the last week of my internship, I once again have to beg for your combined forgiveness, because this chapter is still unedited.This chapter has now been edited.-----------------------------Chapter One-Hundred-and-TenAdam looked at the Special Denizen that Luvicidix had manifested.It was clearly part of the Forlorn army, but looked nothing like any of...
Loopshard - Chapter One-Hundred-and-Nine

It's almost 5,500 words...Chapter 110 is mostly done and will be up tomorrow.-----------------------------Chapter One-Hundred-and-Nine< < Now Entering > >< Stage 4 >< Siege of the Elphin Sanctuary >< 20-minute Timer >Adam awoke into the cutscene where he was driving the horse-drawn carriage through the gate of the Elphin Sanctuary’s stone wall. His mind sort of just glazed over as his body was puppeteered through the motions.When he blinked...
Loopshard - Chapter One-Hundred-and-Eight
-Previous Chapter---Encyclopaedia------Next Chapter----A little bit shorter today, but the next chapter is probably gonna end up a bit longer than usual, so it evens out.On a sidenote, got the second animation in! Check it out here (link).-----------------------------Chapter One-Hundred-and-EightAfter getting kicked out of Gladwyn’s dimension for the mess they’d made, Adam had talked for a bit longer with Beck, asking for advice about how best to use the Vanity mirror.Beck had argued that, since Adam already knew what he’d get from Yenna ...
Loopshard - Chapter One-Hundred-and-Seven
-Previous Chapter---Encyclopaedia------Next Chapter----Unlike the last chapter, this one has been edited at the time of publication xDMy friend Sieghiro is working on some new animations for me. You may have seen his work already on the RR chapters (the treasure chest and Eye blasting the croissant gifs), as well as on other people's stories on RR. Anyway, if you're interested in seeing what new stuff he's cooked up, here's one that's finished (imgur link) and one that's still a work in progress (imgur link).------------...
Loopshard - Chapter One-Hundred-and-Six
-Previous Chapter---Encyclopaedia------Next Chapter----I'll have it edited tomorrow after work, but I just finished it and its 2:30 AM here and I've got a big presentation I need to be awake for tomorrow ^-^'Anyway, didn't wanna leave y'all hanging for a day since I had said I'd have this out Sunday. But just be warned that I have no idea if this stuff's a mess or not <.< There's a reason I always do an edit-pass before I show people my writing after all, lol.Alright, I'm off to bed.This chapter has now been ...
MADMAN APOCALYPSE - Book 3 - Chapter 41
-Previous chapter----Next chapter----I was hoping to finish 5 chapters this week on Madman, but 4 is good enough given how little time I've had. Still, only 2 weeks left of my internship, so I should be able to time manage things a lot better.Chapter 42 of Madman book 3 will probably be available in 2-3 weeks.-----------------------------Chapter 41“That might work,” Panda said after I’d finished translating Lordie’s plan.“I think the versatility is a good idea,” Bee added.I looked to Cooper, Chris, and James.The boy jumped up an...
MADMAN APOCALYPSE - Book 3 - Chapter 40
-Previous chapter----Next chapter----Chapter 41 is coming right behind this one.-----------------------------Chapter 40“Gargalob is here?” Panda asked. “What the hell is a demon doing in the Singing City? It’s bad if they’re letting demons roam free.”“Aren’t the Absolute’s spawn more dangerous?” Bee asked.“Well, sure, but demons are insidious and they change the world around them with just their presence. Actually… so do many Absolute’s spawn…”“So, everybody is dangerous,” I summarized. “Nothing new there.”...
MADMAN APOCALYPSE - Book 3 - Chapter 39
-Previous chapter----Next chapter----Was hoping to already have ch.40 done too, but I'll see how much I'll finish later tonight and tomorrow.There are 2 weeks left of my internship, then I'll be able to focus on writing more again, though I'll have a big project I'll have to make for my exam, though I'm still expecting to end up with more free time.It may end up with just 3 chapters this week for Madman, but I will try to push to 4 at least. It's just kind of slow going unfortunately. And with the majority of my patr...
MADMAN APOCALYPSE - Book 3 - Chapter 38
-Previous chapter----Next chapter----You know how it is. Shit's gonna get weird.-----------------------------Chapter 38At the end of the large boulevard of smoothly-formed organic bone was a big beautiful swamp puppy.“Oh my God, what is that!?” Cooper exclaimed.“Gambit, that is not a puppy!” Panda yelled.“I want to pet it!” Bee insisted.“It’s coming closer!” Cooper shouted. “Turn around!”The puppy had fifteen reptilian eyes and eleven legs. Each leg was a patchwork of various skin-tones, as though it had been wrought f...
Loopshard - Chapter One-Hundred-and-Five
-Previous Chapter---Encyclopaedia------Next Chapter----A little bit shorter than usual this chapter, but it was either that or finish it tomorrow at maybe double the size <.< I have to write chapters for Madman this week since I'm behind on that story, so I chose to wrap this chapter up today rather than delay it. Next Loopshard chapter will be Saturday or Sunday.If you haven't seen it yet, I posted the first draft to a cover I'm commissioning. You can find it here.-----------------------------Chapter One-Hundred-and-Five“Are thos...
Loopshard Book 3 cover - First draft
Chapter 105 is coming later today, but before then I just wanted to share this first draft I got back from the artist. I will be getting two more variations on this premise, but I think it's already super cool.
Loopshard - Chapter One-Hundred-and-Four
-Previous Chapter---Encyclopaedia------Next Chapter----We're now 10 chapters ahead of RR. Hoping to keep pushing this backlog more and more each week.I'm working 105 today, but it probably won't be up until tomorrow.-----------------------------Chapter One-Hundred-and-FourAdam slashed a flowing blade of blood through the green goblin’s neck before grabbing it by the head as it died and attempting to activate the Flesh Shaper evolution’s power.The result was horrific.The skin and flesh shot off from the goblin’s head, splatteri...
Loopshard - Chapter One-Hundred-and-Three
-Previous Chapter---Encyclopaedia------Next Chapter----Man, this chapter got pretty long.Anyway, start of book 3, yay.-----------------------------Chapter One-Hundred-and-Three“What part was I supposed to laugh at?” Adam asked, after Beck had finished his story.“I thought it was funny,” he replied, despite the harrowing descriptions he’d provided.Beck had told Adam how, in the previous timeline, he’d been up against a time-looper who called himself ‘Diviner’. The guy had been a menace, killing off many of Beck’s friends and ac...
Loopshard - Chapter One-Hundred-and-Two
-Previous Chapter---Encyclopaedia------Next Chapter----I was planning on finishing and posting this yesterday, but then I got the news that my dad was rushed to the hospital with a blood clot in his arm and it just felt so fucking weird to be writing about a blood mage, so I decided to just take a break from writing yesterday. From last I heard, he's doing fine, but I can't visit him since he's at some specialist hospital that's pretty far away.I don't know if I ever mentioned this, but Adam's father in the story is kind...
Loopshard - Chapter One-Hundred-and-One
-Previous Chapter---Encyclopaedia------Next Chapter----We're starting to reach the point where I regret writing the chapters in words and not numbers.This chapter got a bit longer than expected. Also, if you've seen the cover I made for book 2 on RR, it will finally make sense with this chapter :p-----------------------------Chapter One-Hundred-and-One“How the hell does that even happen?” Adam asked, still reeling from the revelation that he was alone in this universe. “How many people entered Stage One??”[1 Player entered and s...
Loopshard - Chapter One-Hundred
-Previous Chapter---Encyclopaedia------Next Chapter----100!This chapter took a little while to finish since I had to do a lot of math behind the scenes and actually write out a lot of the things I never wrote out for weapons.-----------------------------Chapter One-HundredAdam woke up with a yell, finding himself back on the soft grass of Stage One.I never thought I’d be happy to return to this place.But man…That was really stupid to try that.I don’t even know why I thought visiting a sacrificed Player’s dimension would be a good idea.I...
Loopshard - Chapter Ninety-Nine
-Previous Chapter---Encyclopaedia------Next Chapter----(The urge to make a 99 Problems or 99 Luftballons reference is crushing me)Click here to found out which reference I chose.-----------------------------Chapter Ninety-Nine< < Wave Five Complete > >< < Stage Complete > >< Tallying Score >< < Score > >< 80 Seconds Completion Time >< 500 Point Secret Boss Bonus added >< 400 Point Flawless Bonus added >< 250 Point Speedrun Bonus added >< 150 Point All Secrets Bonus added >< 0 Damage Received >< 3830 Points Awarded >Better than last time.Adam ha...
Loopshard - Chapter Ninety-Eight
-Previous Chapter---Encyclopaedia------Next Chapter----I should have 99 done tomorrow.Anyway, Patreon might act weird today, since it was super broken a few hours ago. Idk what the hell their development team is doing...-----------------------------Chapter Ninety-EightNova was on his twenty-third loop, and his approach to ‘ruling’ his universe with the Self-devouring Eye was similar to Emelia’s, except less naïve and more selective. He selected people he knew made it far and gave them the information he thought they might need to grow ju...
Loopshard - Chapter Ninety-Seven
-Previous Chapter---Encyclopaedia------Next Chapter----Yesterday was very hectic, which is why I had to finish editing this Monday morning.Anyway, I'll be trucking along with Loopshard this week too. Hoping to continue growing the backlog a good amount.-----------------------------Chapter Ninety-SevenAdam opened his eyes. He was back in the Magical Forest.I fucking hate this place.In front of him the Eye was unfolded, showing his new selection of weapons. The Hardmode Orb floated next to his head, its eye glowing red.Falling off the island ...
Loopshard - Chapter Ninety-Six
-Previous Chapter---Encyclopaedia------Next Chapter----I'm working on 97, but I don't know if it'll be up today or tomorrow.-----------------------------Chapter Ninety-SixAdam told Willow everything he knew to prepare her for the Goblin Village. Even though she had a grim expression when he described the best way to kill the goblins, he knew she was a fighter. When they parted ways, she promised she would practice against the target dummy as much as possible to get used to her sword and shield.While Adam was worried, he remained hop...
Loopshard - Chapter Ninety-Five
-Previous Chapter---Encyclopaedia------Next Chapter----Working on ch. 96 already, should probably be up tomorrow.-----------------------------Chapter Ninety-FiveAdam looked at the first friend he’d made in the Trials of Defiance.She looked slightly different from back then, since her brown hair hung down freely instead of being tied up in a ponytail like the other times he’d seen her. It didn’t take him long to realise she had picked the Summoner weapon type.It’s a wonder she survived the first Stage with the wand.In front of her was a ...
Loopshard - Chapter Ninety-Four

It had a light-brown wooden handle that was about ...
MADMAN APOCALYPSE - Book 3 - Chapter 37
-Previous chapter----Next chapter---------------------------------Chapter 37We climbed the fifty steps that led out of our base, the red-tinted light from above growing stronger the higher we climbed, until we reached the top which emerged out from a hill in an ash-covered landscape.Hills like ours ringed around a gigantic city. The sky above was a mix of bruise colors, and there was a single large eye emanating the red light that covered everything. For some reason, I was completely certain this eye didn’t belong to Messimer.The city was sur...
MADMAN APOCALYPSE - Book 3 - Chapter 36
-Previous chapter----Next chapter----Book 3 just hit 69k words.Nice.-----------------------------Chapter 36I landed on my feet inside a room with stone walls, floor, and ceiling. Bee, Chris, his brother James, and Cooper all appeared around me. As I looked around, I realized that the place was like a fucked-up fusion between a garage and an operating room. There were large surgery slabs with wheeled trays overflowing with wicked-looking tools next to them, hooks on winches hanging from the ceiling, a workbench with nasty sewing needles and pitc...
MADMAN APOCALYPSE - Book 3 - Chapter 35
-Previous chapter----Next chapter---------------------------------Chapter 35“Where are we going?” Chris asked me, worried. He and his brother had been staying in the back with the MLP guys since getting on the bus, and unlike the last loop, he seemed a lot less inclined to adventure now that he had his brother to protect.“Yeah, where are we going?” I asked Panda.“I want to know too,” Bee said.“None of you have figured it out?” Panda replied.We all shook our heads.“Then I guess it’ll be a surprise,” he said.“Speaking of s...
Loopshard - Chapter Ninety-Three
-Previous Chapter---Encyclopaedia------Next Chapter----Had hoped to have this up yesterday, but spent a lot of this weekend celebrating my fiance's birthday.Anyway, it's here now, and almost 4k words long.-----------------------------Chapter Ninety-ThreeAdam wiped his eyes and mouth. He’d spilled his guts onto the grass. Not because the effects of travelling back in time had been too much for him like before, but because the emotions had been so overwhelming that he’d felt the need to purge his insides.He felt like he hadn’t eaten...
Loopshard - Chapter Ninety-Two
-Previous Chapter---Encyclopaedia------Next Chapter----This is a big boy chapter, clocking in at 5k words.-----------------------------Chapter Ninety-TwoThey descended into total darkness, but fortunately the slight glow from Adam’s barriers caused by the fire effect from the crown was lighting up a tiny bit of the walls around them.“I’ve never heard of this place before,” Emelia whispered, her voice echoing down the walls of the well.“Hidden in plain sight,” Adam muttered. “I wonder if the eels were all created by Alepheria to hi...
Loopshard - Chapter Ninety-One
-Previous Chapter---Encyclopaedia------Next Chapter---------------------------------Chapter Ninety-One“We have to turn back!” shouted one of the White Flags pirates. His name was Marko, and the rest of the crew treated him as their leader, and apparently representative. Except for Herrman and the portsmiths, of course.“We’ll be fine,” Emelia assured him. “Mast-Chewer isn’t going to attack us.”“Maybe we should just fly there and leave the ship here,” Adam suggested, not wanting to do anything to turn away their hard-earned cr...
Loopshard - Chapter Ninety
-Previous Chapter---Encyclopaedia------Next Chapter----I'll be working on chapter 91 today as well, but not sure it'll go up by tonight.-----------------------------Chapter Ninety“I’ve never seen Drew make that face before,” Emelia said and laughed.Adam glanced around the captain’s quarters of the Golden Slug. After the White Flags’ captain had seen the hoard of treasure, he’d immediately called three more ships over, and a total of forty pirates had run back and forth carrying almost all of it off the ship.Emelia and Adam h...
