MADMAN APOCALYPSE - Chapter -121
-Previous chapter----Next chapter---------------------------------Chapter -121It was sometime around midnight as we arrived to the industrial area west of the Mayor’s mansion. In my haste to save the Mascot from being eaten by whatever kind of Skinstealer Noah Sullivan had turned into, I hadn’t yet checked out the last two items we’d looted from the Regional Director.Around us were warehouses in various states of repair, as well as the remains of dead construction worker zombies. Normally, corpses didn’t stay around for long, as someone...
F-tier Assasin - Chapter 4
-Previous chapter----Next chapter---------------------------------Chapter 4There had been no sign of the B-tier nor the D-tier Tracker, after Ashlan ventured into Irongate. Unlike the Oceanview, Greenhill, and Plaza districts, Irongate was an inhospitable place, with not a single park, marketplace, nor plaza. It was as if the sun that shone on its dark-grey flagstones and fortresses was an altogether different one than what lit up the rest of the city. The district served as Eventide’s main holding and punishment facility for criminals, many ...
MADMAN APOCALYPSE - Chapter -120
-Previous chapter----Next chapter---------------------------------Chapter -120We arrived back in the lobby of the Regional Headquarters with a ding!and as soon as the doors slid open, the effect of ‘Jelly Bones’ wore off. There followed a series of loud cracksand popsas my bones regained rigidity, and it was the most tremendous chiropractor session ever.“Aaaah,” I sighed, before stumbling upright.“Gambit… you’re bleeding from your nose, ears, eyes, and mouth,” Panda commented.“It’s fine. I feel great.”The plushie gave me a...
MADMAN APOCALYPSE - Chapter -119
-Previous chapter----Next chapter----Changed the style of the Regional Director's speech from Bold+Italic to just Bold. Bold+Italic will be reserved for Demons and other types of bosses, whose voices are meant to convey something supernatural. Bold is meant to just convey strength.-----------------------------Chapter -119An elliptical portal with rainbow-colored edges appeared on a side wall near the boss. Bee quickly backed away, to allow my ability to do whatever it was going to do. Given that it seemed entirely random, neither of us knew...
MADMAN APOCALYPSE - Chapter -118
-Previous chapter----Next chapter---------------------------------Chapter -118The Regional Director lifted one of his four arms and immediately manifested a shield of densely-packed spiderweb. I swung my fist right into it.“Punch.spinTheWheel( )!” I exclaimed and then time froze.The golden lottery wheel descended down through the ceiling and the many black tarantulas crowding it. The Director, Bee, Panda, and I all tracked it with our eyes until it finished parking itself to the right of where I hung frozen in the air. The look on the spide...
F-tier Assasin - Chapter 3
-Previous chapter----Next chapter---------------------------------Chapter 3The D-tier Tracker ran past the stand that Ashlan was huddled behind in its faint shadow. From the way she sniffed the air, it was clear she was using a Skill like ‘Bloodhound’ or ‘Scenting Tongue’, which allowed her to follow his trail using her sense of smell. However, it wasn’t helping her in this place where a thousand scents and smells intermixed beneath the canopies. The frustrated look in her eyes attested as much.He couldn’t help but grin along with t...
MADMAN APOCALYPSE - Chapter -117
-Previous chapter----Next chapter---------------------------------Chapter -117The ride to the top floor, or, rather, the bottom one, was way longer than the distance between all of the previous floors. Fortunately it gave Bee and I ample time to prepare, and she was now topped off on Mana and I had pumped Brock to full. Not to mention that my Sea Urchin Ring was only five minutes off from cooldown. That being said, with how the elevator just kept going down, it was as if we were descending into the depths of hell.“Fitting,” I muttered to my...
MADMAN APOCALYPSE - Chapter -116
-Previous chapter----Next chapter----I made a minor change to -114, because I forgot to add a mention of the Sea Urchin Ring and Brock's Pump-It! as things the Adjudicator mentions can power up Gambit's punch damage. These two things are relevant to this chapter, as the main takeaway is that, with his Ring, Brock, and Pump-It! Gambit can reach 1600% punch damage.-----------------------------Chapter -116Ding!The elevator doors slid open, and Bee was the first one out. The sirens had been turned off at some point, but there was still quit...
MADMAN APOCALYPSE - Chapter -115
-Previous chapter----Next chapter---------------------------------Chapter -115“It will never go away…” I muttered in defeat, as I looked at the pop-up that would literally not move from the center of my vision, no matter what I did. “I don’t think All-Mommy will like her gift to Gambit being overpowered like that.”Panda cringed at her nickname for the Absolute, before saying, “Normally it shouldn’t be able to trump the power of an Absolute, unless…”“What?”Bee, for some reason, seemed clued in to his thoughts as she said,...
F-tier Assasin - Chapter 2
-Previous chapter----Next chapter----I'm still trying to figure out a release schedule for this story. But think I might make it every Friday. The aim is to have Book 1 done before it hits RR in February.-----------------------------Chapter 2“Ashlan Grey, Assassin!”“F-tier!”The announcement seemed to echo across the plaza, before it was swallowed up by laughter and jeering boos.Ashlan was red-faced with embarrassment as he quickly stormed off the podium, though not before catching sight of the rich boy, who’d been behind him in th...
MADMAN APOCALYPSE - Chapter -114
-Previous chapter----Next chapter---------------------------------Chapter -114Breezy, the Adjudicator, gazed at me with an exasperated look in his one big eye. Next to him was a sentient doll that looked eerily similar to me, except 1/5th the actual scale.“¡Hola! Soy Gambito!” it said cheerfully in a very racist Mexican accent.“Breezy, what the hell is that?”IT IS MY NEW PET, GAMBITO.“It’s very flattering,” I told him without meaning it. “But also very creepy.”I USED ONE OF YOUR HAIRS TO CREATE IT.“That’s… Are you stalk...
MADMAN APOCALYPSE - Chapter -113
-Previous chapter----Next chapter---------------------------------Chapter -113Ding!The elevator door slid open to reveal the second floor.I immediately took a long step back, pushing Bee up against the back wall of the elevator, just as several clawed arms came through the opening in front of us.“This might be really loud, so cover your ears,” I told Bee.Then I took a step forward and flung my fist into the middle of the opening.“Eat farts!!” Brock yelled in excitement, as his pumped-up balloon body released all the air I’d filled it ...
MADMAN APOCALYPSE - Chapter -112
-Previous chapter----Next chapter----Last few weeks have been absolutely sweltering in Denmark, but it's finally getting a bit colder and I'm feeling a lot more motivated when my apartment isn't like 30 degrees internally. Danish society really needs to adopt Airconditioners to deal with global warming...-----------------------------Chapter -112I gave Bee a few more minutes to recoup her Mana, before having her airlift me to the entrance of the building hanging down below the enormous web. There was no door or anything, it was reall...
MADMAN APOCALYPSE - Chapter -111
-Previous chapter----Next chapter----Sorry about the delay. Had a pretty busy week. My niece got a baptism yesterday and I got engaged to my girlfriend 2 days before that. Pretty happy, but also stressed as hell ^-^'I've also finally added bottom of the chapter navigation. It only took me a year and a half...-----------------------------Chapter -111“So this is the place they wanted me to find,” I muttered, walking across the sticky and springy web that hung down below the metro tunnel high above, as though it was a suicide-preventio...
MADMAN APOCALYPSE - Chapter -110
-Previous chapter----Next chapter----Not the best AI-gen of the Man-Eating Metro ever, but somehow the best I could get it to spit out.Update:Next chapter is delayed until the 8th.-----------------------------Chapter -110“A metro tunnel!?” I yelled at Panda. “Why would you bring us here!?”“It was the most obvious choice for how to find the Broadcast Nest!” he replied, though he also clearly didn’t like the fact that the voice of the man-eating Metro Train was coming closer-and-closer. “It’s probably below this place, so we jus...
MADMAN APOCALYPSE - Chapter -109
-Previous chapter----Next chapter----As mentioned last chapter, this week will only have 3 chapters for Madman. These will go out today, Thursday, and Saturday. I have quite a few plans this week (such as my Niece's baptism), so I decided to not overdo it, but next week will definitely have 4 chapters.-----------------------------Chapter -109I was rolling along the curving tunnel wall as a giant Worm of shit, wet wipes, and hardened grease followed behind, each motion pulling it forward producing an echoing squelch. Aside from the fact that...
MADMAN APOCALYPSE - Chapter -108
-Previous chapter----Next chapter----Next week will only have 3 chapters for Madman, on Tue, Thur, Sat. The following week will again have four.-----------------------------Chapter -108We went towards the Blue door, after I’d won the Rock-Paper-Scissors game, crushing both Lordie and Bee in two separate ‘best of 3’ matches, after beating them simultaneously the first time.“Howdid you do that?” Bee was wondering. Panda was sitting on her shoulder and nodding along.“Meow.”“I didn’t cheat,” I told Lordie, then looked over at Be...
MADMAN APOCALYPSE - Chapter -107
-Previous chapter----Next chapter----I made a change to how Inventory screens are shown, since it literally takes me hours to turn it into a picture. Given that I'll eventually be publishing these books, I'll have to turn the inventory screens back into plain text again, so I just skipped the middle step, saved myself a bunch of time, and still came out of it at the end with something I think looks neat. Also, last inventory screen was Chapter -59 I just realised. Really just goes to show how much I avoided doing them after the first co...
MADMAN APOCALYPSE - Chapter -106
-Previous chapter----Next chapter----Just realised I forgot to update the link on the pinned post for the last chapter. Today has been kind of a mess ngl. I took forever to write this chapter for no discernible reason, and also somehow fucked up my RR scheduling so that a chapter went up a day before it was meant to -.-Oh well, everyone has off days I suppose.Next chapter is the 30th, and then there'll be one on the 32nd as well. I might have to re-evaluate whether I'll do 4 chapters next week as well, but I'll keep y'all update...
MADMAN APOCALYPSE - Chapter -105
-Previous chapter----Next chapter---------------------------------Chapter -105More screeching rolled through the sewer tunnels, as we went through the rest of the items we’d acquired from the Scion.“That’s gonna be a hard no on the mask and droplet,” Panda said sternly.“Maybe it won’t work as advertised since I’m glitched.”“Gambit! Don’t mess with Absolutes, what did I tell you!? Especiallythe Flayed Queen!”“The Anointed Class might be good,” Bee muttered.“Perhaps it turns you into a mosquito,” I replied.She frowne...
MADMAN APOCALYPSE - Chapter -104
-Previous chapter----Next chapter----Next week will be chapters Mon, Wed, Fri, & Sunday if it goes according to plan, but I also pick school back up on Monday, so we'll see. There will be at least 3 chapters though, but I'd like to keep the 4-per-week going.-----------------------------Chapter -104[NEXT STOP: YUMMY-YUMMY, CATCH A RIDE IN MY TUMMY!] came the beckoning call of the Humanbus as it continued chasing after the Players nearby, crashing through several houses to get to them from the sounds of it.Bee and I were heading back towa...
MADMAN APOCALYPSE - Chapter -103

MADMAN APOCALYPSE - Chapter -102
-Previous chapter----Next chapter----This chapter ended up quite a bit longer than expected, but I don't like splitting up fights into several chapters unless the chapter bloat is too extreme. Anyway, hope you like it!-----------------------------Chapter -102We stepped out through the veil of darkness, entering into a cave with stalagmites poking up from the floor and stalactites hanging down from the ceiling. Their formations seemed to be due to a steady drip of red liquid flowing through the cracks in the rocks above our heads.In the very...
MADMAN APOCALYPSE - Chapter -101
-Previous chapter----Next chapter----The new schedule for Madmanwill be 1 chapter every 2 days, forso long as I can maintain it. My goal is to hit at least 20 chapters ahead of RR, but it might go beyond that if I can keep up this new schedule. Since the chapters in this story aren't as long as those on Exorcist were, I think I can make up for it by adding an extra one in every week.-----------------------------Chapter -101From the hallway revealed by the mask puzzle came a vast spiraling staircase with rock walls on either side. The stairs...
MADMAN APOCALYPSE - Chapter -100
-Previous chapter----Next chapter----I will try to aim for 4 more chapters next week, but let's see how it goes. With the 4 released this week, Madmanis now 13 chapters ahead on Patreon compared to RR.-----------------------------Chapter -100Bee was looking at the two Puzzle Boxes we’d gotten from the last achievement, her eyes focused like a hawk’s.Since there was no way for Matthew Twine and his friends to get to us here, we were taking a short breather. We’d been running pretty much nonstop, and our last rest had been hours ago. I ...
MADMAN APOCALYPSE - Chapter -99
-Previous chapter----Next chapter----We made it to chapter 100! Woooh!!-----------------------------Chapter -99The top half of the mask was in the bathtub on the third-floor. Or, more accurately, on the face of a dead Cultist lying in a bathtub full of blood… It was made of silver like the other half and had two narrow slits for eyes to look through.I pulled out the bottom-half and tried to stick them together.But nothing happened.“Hmm…” I grumbled annoyed.“Maybe there’s like a special pedestal for it?” Bee wondered.“Just like i...
TASTE-TEST: F-tier Assasin - Chapter 1
This is a story I've been working on for a while, after being inspired by the worlds of the stories 'Saijaku Teima' and 'Super Supportive'. Beyond that superficial influence, it doesn't really have anything to do with either story ^-^'Anyway, I might write more on this, but I think I'd finish all of Book 1 before releasing it on RR. If I do start writing on it seriously, Patreon will of course get advanced chapters.I also made four different covers, but I need your help to determine which one matches the vibe of ...
MADMAN APOCALYPSE - Chapter -98
-Previous chapter----Next chapter----Next two chapters arrive tomorrow.-----------------------------Chapter -98“The person writing these messages is not very nice,” commented Bee, in response to getting the same achievement.The crimson robes I was wearing were like XXL, and with how the hood draped over Lordie who sat atop my hair, it looked like I had a freakishly-shaped head. I lifted my arms, the overlong sleeves spilling over my hands.“There’s no way we’re fooling anyone,” I replied.“It’s working so far,” Panda remarked.We...
MADMAN APOCALYPSE - Chapter -97
-Previous chapter----Next chapter----Since I wrapped up Isekai Exorcistthis week, I took a short vacation with my gf and my family. We walked so much today, and I'm totally destroyed <.< anyway, I wrote all of this on my laptop, if anything looks weird or it's poorly spell-checked, sorry about that. Things should be back to normal again soon.Legit my first vacation since I started writing Isekai Exorcist<.<Update:Next 2 chapters are up on the 17th.-----------------------------Chapter -97“Well, I’m off,” said Chris.He was holding t...
ISEKAI EXORCIST - Ch.181 'Silver Soul'
-Previous chapter-I'm really sorry for the delay in getting this to you. I struggled a lot with how to write this, initially going for something that put a definite cap on the story. But this isn't the end of Isekai Exorcist, and I wanted to make that clear with how I wrote it.If you're an annual sub only here for Isekai Exorcist, check the note at the bottom after reading the chapter!-----------------------------181 – Silver SoulI felt groggy and sore, when I woke up. I was lying on my back in a leaning chair at the beach and my ...
