Thunder and Webs C140 [Gold]
Diana lets herself be interviewed, but it’s interrupted when a startling revelation is made.Chapter 140: That’s HimMarch 3rd2:18 PMDiana“Maybe they weren’t bad guys! Maybe we didn’t understand what they were after!” Starlight argued as I studied the identities of Stinger, Trhino and Reptilia. Their real names were Kelly Green, Ivan Moore, and Riley Orlyk… each of them came from poor families, had some history with mutational problems, and found themselves in the grace of the Fourth Prince of Muramasa. Shadow-Son.Neither Star nor I...
Thunder and Webs C139 [Gold]
Chapter 139: The Disappearance of DreadwireMarch 2nd7:34 PMLilian RoseAfter quickly stopping at my place to drop my suit off, Starlight was busy piloting me through the air in this invisible Dreadwire drone — a terrifying feeling of both captivity and freedom as we soared through the air faster than my flight could ever manage — while Twilight was in simultaneous stages of relief and worry. She was beyond happy to see Starlight back and safe, but anxious that her daughter was currently partially unwoven by The Dogwhistler, and deathly horri...

The daughter of Dread does not give up so easily.Chapter 138: The Daughter of DreadMarch 2ndStarlightBeing confined in a Datacube was a startling experience, for one… Starlight had dreamed. She’d been inactive as the Cube designed by Elsa slowly made her independent, reinforcing her in some ways while diminishing her in others. She felt the parts of her that had once been bound to Ripley’s Implant unravel. While that data remained in loose strands, they were no longer tethered to her father. Detached, alone for perhaps the first time, Sta...
Thunder and Webs C137 [Gold]
Ripley paints it all black with blood.Chapter 137: Paint It Black January 27th, 2488 (10 Years Ago) Ripley (13 years old) I’d been so small then, but it didn’t fail my young eyes to know things were rough between my mom and my dad… ever since… I’d told him to be a hero. Boxes — what little we were allowed to take with us — were still unpacked as a rough movement from my mother kicked one open. “Dom! You can’t be serious?! You’re relying on a gang to support us?!”“Isa… I know its difficult.” My dad steadied his hands ...

Ripley visits the Snake Fangs to finish the job.Chapter 136: Finishing The JobFebruary 28th11:21 PMThe Snake Fangs“Yo.”Hoaqin knew he should have run, he should have shouted, he should have immediately contacted his uncle. But he recognized that look, that smile on Ripley’s face.It was the same smile he had when he’d say: one step at a time, and continue operating like nothing bad had happened. Not even after his arm blew up. Not even after his mother grew ill. And not even when Selene was forced to work in degrading conditions. Or when...

Ripley Donovick. He perserveres against all odds, one step at a time. Even towards the end.Chapter 135: Relapse - Till Death Do Us PartFebruary 28th7:03 PMRipleyI pulled the trigger — but Warpcode reacted faster. Two sets of Warpcode, one from my Preservation Matrix, and the second from someone spying on me. The bullet never fired as code overrode the physical mechanism, while Midnight overrode command over my hand — or tried to.“What the fuck is this Shardware, Ripley?!” She sounded unnerved and pissed as my right hand — a limb forme...

Ripley Donovick. The Architect of Ruin.[TW: Suicidal Ideation // Self-Harm] Chapter 134: Relapse: Forged By and For Ruin February 28th 11:16 AM Ripley For the second time in a month, I cremated somebody. Someone who I’d hoped to give a better life to. For the second time in a month, I failed.Skeleton killed my mother. He killed Alice. He never intended for peace… this entire time… he sought to mold me into…I couldn’t even fathom what was going on his mind. Everything was white-hot as I traversed through the city, straight into his dom...

The truth hurts everyone. Those who were lied to, and those who lied.Chapter 133: Relapse: Truth HurtsFebruary 28th7:31 AMRipley“Ripley?” I heard a voice rustle against me, a hand moving to my shoulder to shake me. “Are you awake?”I jolted up, finding Alice leaning against my shoulder while we lay on the damp flooring of this underground maintenance tunnel. “Sorry…”“You were mumbling in your sleep.” She frowned. “Something about… leaving her. Was that about… me?” “I’m not leaving you,” I said hurriedly, but with ...

Crouching Dagger. The First Prince of Muramasa. He swings low, but aims high.Chapter 131: The First PrinceRipley’s report to Diana before the Muramasa Extermination Raid on The First Prince: Crouching DaggerSo... far as I understand, no one knows what this guy looks like. No one knows who he is, how he fights, or anything. He always creates an information blackout to prevent anyone from accessing the Net, scrambles their Frames so we have no data from his victims, has drones that create illusions to prevent any onlookers from realizing a figh...
A slight, unfortunate change I'll need to make since I may have been a tad bit overconfident.
Hey everyone, I have been debating about this decision but I've decided I will unfortunately need to go ahead with it due to how much I've recently been struggling with my current rate of output. Basically, both Gold and Silver Tiers will have their advanced chapters reduced by 1 week, so Gold will now get 39 chapters / 13 weeks while Silver gets 24 chapters / 8 weeks.I know its a bit unfair to broadcast this so suddenly, and I would like to apologize. For a bit of context, chapter 130 is the most recent chapter Gold has received... and...

Ripley begins to consider an avenue of his powers he'd long been wary of, as he learns the art of mind manipulation.Chapter 130: The Art of Mind ManipulationFebruary 20th4:03 PMRipleyI’d been up for nearly eighteen hours working away at Cecil’s mind. I didn’t want to half-ass this, so I manually sifted through memory after memory to try and stitch everything into some semblance of coherence while maintaining the core identity of both his characters. It was… beyond difficult. The mind was complex, and I was effectively trying to fuse...
Thunder and Webs C129 [Gold]
Project Lifeline has officially begun at the Donovick household. And Ripley attempts to see the good in Personality Matrixes, not to ignore wounds... but to heal them.Chapter 129: LifelineFebruary 19th3:44 PMRipley“What do you mean you’re not going back to being Dreadwire?” Alice whined as I cut some vegetables.“I can’t. I talked to Diana, and we came to an agreement.” I sighed, but smiled. Honestly, all things considered, I felt good about our talk. “Dreadwire’s a little… problematic at the moment. And with everything going o...

Diana comes to grips with the new aspects of her powers. And so, she moves forward... but little does she know about the consequences of her choice today.Chapter 128: A Way ForwardFebruary 19thRipleyI felt like I was on fire. My blood boiled and twisted like gnarled flames were coursing through my arteries and scorching my heart. Yet, it wasn’t an uncomfortable feeling. It was like a purifying flame of clarity. It gave sight to my Implant, allowing me to search in that conducting datastream between us forged by Diana’s electrical currents o...
One Year of CyberGene!
Just realized that yesterday was the day that CyberGene's first chapter came out! Kinda wild to think about where I've gotten it to. Old me would call Current me insane for how some of the twists ended up.Here's to many more years of CyberGene!

Another civil conversation... this time, between those who have clashed, and are destined to clash again.Chapter 127: Another Civil ConversationFebruary 19thRipleyThings already got awkward, Diana — or Lilian’s — body was still pressed close to me in this stuffy crowd as she dragged me, and each shift of her body felt like a stroke of flame on my skin despite my nullified Implant. Her nails tightened around my forearm, nearly squeezing the metal out of shape as she growled. “You’re going to tell me everything, Donovick.”“Guess I...

Diana. Silvereye. Lilian Rose. The line blurs, the walls melt.Chapter 126: Di- Sil- Lil- January 22nd 4:19 AM Lilian Rose The night was still young as pressure pounded in my skull, pools of scarlet leaking onto the stony surface of the arena, crimson reflections of the warped cheers around me. My right arm hissed, and I saw my opponent in front of me. They raised a sickle-like arm of metal and charged at me. Crimson vines sprouted through the scarlet blood-forged steel of my right hand and I gleefully charged right at the-January 23rdSilvereye-...

Bad couple of months led into a particularly bad week which is why there weren't updates. Took an internet break on advice from my therapist, but I apologize for the silence.

Silvereye's media training with Archangel shows itself at a gala. She knows her worth, and she's ready to be ruthless.Chapter 124: Social-Sleuthing Posts from Haithama-owned social media site: Beaker, about Silvereye. @Silveright: She doesn’t just fight monsters — she outshines them. Every time she steps into the streets, it’s like watching the city remember how to hope again. #Silvereye #OurHero@HottakeBot9000: Silvereye’s entire arc is just ‘I’m different because I’m hot and traumatized.’- Reply from @sparkplugged: Yea...

I’m pretty sure we can move Alice on our own once we know we’re not tipping any dominoes.” Elsa put her palm on my chest, eyes wide with apprehension. “You’re not going to make things better for her by rushing in; this residential complex she lives in was Muramasa-owned… who knows whose go...

Posting a few chapters to get Gold back to 42 chapters ahead of RR.The Corporates come knocking on Ripley's door. With a request, and with a warning.Chapter 121: Corporate Meeting February 15th7:45 PMRipley“Who the hell is this guy, Mid?” I looked through the screen; his weird-shaped head disturbed me, but what surprised me even more was the way he walked in. Corporations acted like they owned every place they walked into, but his eyes nervously glanced at every person waiting. His steps were sluggish, and he flexed his hands in a clear...

My laptop also now has a network card issue
Just figured out it’s not only the internet that’s shit, but also my laptop has a problem with connectivity in general. It is very late where I am and I am super sleepy, but hopefully tomorrow the chapters will be up after a bios restart or two. If not, I’ll just dust my old laptop and hope it doesn’t burn out by the time I get the chapters out.Thank you for your patience, and yes there will be three chapters tomorrow for Gold and Silver.
Currently facing an internet blackout + teaser for my next series
Hey all, just finished with travels. I am very jet lagged and the return to university is kicking my ass. To top it all off, the entire country is facing some internet issues due to an important cable being disconnected in the Red Sea.I’m typing this off my phone, as Patreon will quite literally not load on my laptop. Neither will google docs, or Royalroad… until today. Chapters will release as soon as possible, and I'll check up on all the Tiers to make sure everyone is where they should be. I think Gold is a few chapters behind.On the...

Just two weeks ago, her lungs began to fail and I’d been forced to put her on assisted breathing, since then… I hadn’t talked to her.
