A Dragon's Curse Upon This Illogical World! Chapter 8
Edited by: Marethyu, PriapusAlthough the quest to purify the lake itself is not what I’d call ‘productive’, considering we had to split the pay five ways with Aqua taking most, I’m quite satisfied that I decided to join them. Yes, I spent most of the time lying around and ultimately doing nothing, and yes, I barely got paid for it too, but encountering that self-righteous dimwit made everything worth it in the end. For once in my life, I feellucky.How come I feel this way, considering he damaged the cage and cut down my low pay even mor...

New Story available for Super tier
Chapters 2-6 of The Zenith Beyond (Dragonball fic) are now available for anyone with Super tier, as it has reached full main story status.
The Zenith Beyond Chapter 6
Edited by: Priapus, MarethyuA few days have passed since making contact with the Yardratians, and unfortunately, not much improvement has been made since then. Despite her outstanding adaptability, exceptional intellect, and unique talent, Zenith has been struggling to attain what Pybara calls ‘Spirit Control’.Although she still excels in physical confrontation and typical ki control, she’s been facing quite a lot of difficulties in meditation. It’s rather vexing, and I can’t make sense of it. Can’t she apply her natural talent at k...
DxD: Like a Devil Chapter 68
Edited by: Marethyu, PriapusWatching as a dozen of my scouting bots fly around the resort, I smile to myself in satisfaction. Sure, they may not be the best things I could’ve made at my engineer level, but I’m proud of my work regardless. Something about creating a functional device like this makes me feel very good about myself. Despite being relatively inferior to my Spyders, they have a mobility advantage. Which Iwasplanning to incorporate into the Spyder upgrade before I realized I actually wanted to keep the spider theme. Because I lik...

What should I write next?P.S. Optimistic might return in the next poll or the one after, but it'll be Patreon exclusive for five extra chapters. So Patrons will be ten chapters ahead of the usual five.
DxD: Like a Devil Chapter 67
Edited by: Priapus, Marethyu– Asia –Since coming to Hawaii, nearly all of her time had been spent around her friends. Even when split up, she’d had at least one person near her. Naturally, as they had no reason for each of them to go their own different ways, the only time Asia could remember being truly alone was at the resort, but it was practically home for the month, so what was there to worry about?Now, forced to actually walk by herself, Asia realized how nerve-wracking this was. There was no one to talk to, no one to lead her anywh...
Draconic Impact Chapter 35
Edited by: PriapusI may have gone a littletoohard on Eula last night. I typically hold back so as not to hurt her too much, knowing that, despite everything, she’s still relatively fragile compared to me. But, well, I did promise her that she wouldn’t be able to walk, even if I’m almost sure she thought it was mere exaggeration, but it was my obligation to stick true to my words regardless. Besides, it feels good for my ego when my partner passes out from pleasure. What can I say? Most men would say the same.It’s rather comical now that...

Thunder Shroud Chapter 4
Edited by: Priapus, MarethyuI know I’ve said this before, but real Skyrim is huge compared to the game. Which, yeah, fucking obviously. But you can’t really comprehend the difference until you’re actually experiencing it. The tundra of Whiterun can’t be crossed in twenty-five seconds. It actually takes you hours on foot just to make half the progress you’d otherwise make in the game. It’s genuinely disorienting. Not saying I hate it, of course. Whiterun Hold is pretty beautiful.And, again, it’s not as cold as Eastmarch. Still free...
Hail to the Prince Chapter 2
Apparently, I had this chapter writtenmonthsago, and I somehow didn't realize I never posted? I'm such a fucking dumbass lmao. I'll be working on chapter three in between chapters and post it whenever I can, cuz I feel bad.Chapter 1 is on my snippet threads on QQ and FFN--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Edited by: Priapus, Marethyu– Nappa –Something felt a little off about the prince since he’d been hit in the head during their mission to wipe out Plan...
Important Announcement
Due to a lot of negative and frankly unhelpful feedback from recent chapters, Optimistic Game might go on an extended break. Sorry, but the longer I let this go on, the more I'm demotivated, which will ultimately affect my overall schedule for updating all of my fics, not just OG. Gotta make some sacrifices.Been feeling that way for a bit, to be honest.The fic is, of course, not dropped. But don't expect any chapter for maybe a month or three. Thinking about writing Optimistic at the moment doesn't sound appealing to me, and I don&#...

Optimistic Game Chapter 84
Edited by: Marethyu, Priapus– Gwyn –Under the commands of his master, the Great Wolf scouted the area in which the supposed slave market took place, watching from a distance as two of Reid’s strongest golems tore it asunder from the inside. He wanted to get in on the fun, but it had been made very clear to him that he was only to observe and wait for the ‘trap’ to go off, whatever it was. That would be his cue to go in there and get both the golems and the slaves out in case they couldn’t make it.The one named Indra would be the one...

DxD: Like a Devil Chapter 66
Edited by: PriapusI knew this wasn’t exactly going to be easy now that I’m limited and can’t rely on my super awesome tech, but damn it if it’s not annoying. Seriously, I could’ve figured out this overseer’s identity in these few hours now that I know where to look. My Spyders are too overpowered for this.Their only weakness is their mobility, but that can be fixed later. I don’t know why I didn’t give them wings or something when I was making them, but now that the issue has been brought up, I’ll make sure they get a proper u...
Optimistic Game Chapter 83
Edited by: Marethyu, Priapus– Ruby –Ruby was always aware of her lack of foresight, but perhaps even she should’ve seen this coming.“Oh my god, it’s Ruby Rose!” A Beacon student exclaimed, drawing everyone’s attention to her.“Holy crap, it is!” Another confirmed.“The Second Titan Slayer!” A third cheered.As dozens of students, all older than her, rushed toward the meek and shy girl, Ruby quickly felt overwhelmed. For someone who’d never liked socializing or meeting strangers, this was pretty much hell for her. Countless ...
Regarding Patreon's new payment method
I've seen it show up whenever I upload a chapter, but I never gave it much thought until now. Basically, it allows readers to buy certain chapters rather than pay for a subscription. Should I start implementing it? If yes, should I make it for all chapters or only snippets? I thought maybe some people would be interested in only reading certain snippets and not others, but don't want to or can't afford the Ultra Tier.As for the price, it will be about 75 cents per 500 words. Or 1.5 dollars per 1000 words. So a 10k-word chapter will ...
Shattered Sun Chapter 3
Edited by: Marethyu, PriapusI don’t know what drove me to follow the bastard sun god and take his offer, but at this point, it doesn’t really matter that much, does it? I don’t know what he gains by giving me the weapon used to supposedly destroy him. But if he wants to die that badly, then who am I to argue? I’ll do us bothandthe world a favor by getting rid of him. One less monster to worry about.And I don’t give a flying fuck that heisa god, as he proved by showing me God Slayer magic. As long as I’m breathing, I’ll do anything...

Draconic Impact Chapter 34
Edited by: Priapus– Lumine –Rejuvenated after a full night’s rest, she stretched her arms and legs, feeling much better than she had yesterday. As a traveler with many years of experience, Lumine was used to sleeping anywhere, whether freezing her butt off on a cold hard surface or a soft warm bed in a tavern. It was a versatile skill she didn’t regret learning.But damn, did the sleep quality vastly differ. If she did sleep somewhere cold and hard, she would naturally not feel as rested as she would sleeping somewhere comfortable. Physi...

Two 10k+ chapters back to back :>------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Edited by: Priapus– Ruby –Standing beside her older sister, Ruby curiously watched over their lover as he added the finishing touches to his newest machine. The incubator he’d promised to make for Yang’s dragon egg, measured with its shape and size in mind.After all, the blond was pretty much obligated to stay in the mansion and take care of the egg until he could make this machine. Mainly because ...

Draconic Impact Chapter 33
Edited by: Priapus“So you think Lumine is heading to or already somewhere in Jueyun Karst?” Eula questions, having caught her breath after a short love-making session as she holds a blanket over her chest. “Are you positive?”“No, not quite.” I shake my head, wearing my shirt. “But that’s the only lead we have right now.”“I suppose…” She doesn’t argue with that point. “Then again, it has been a week since Morax’s assassination, and Jueyun Karst is only a day away on foot. Lumine might not be there anymore.”“Well...
Backseat Fighter Chapter 11
Like my skyrim fic, this story will be available to Super tiers as it's already a main story that I kinda stopped updating.I highly recommend rereading the story since last time I worked on this was in late 2022 lmfao. You can find it on FFN (I never posted it on QQ)---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------“This ship is…a lot bigger than I had envisioned,”Remiel noted as they all looked around the interior of the gargantuan space vessel.“Much, much bigger than the one you wer...
Optimistic Game Chapter 81
I know there might be a little confusion, seeing that I uploaded a chapter to QQ and FFN before Patreon, but it's not what you think. The chapter I posted recently was 75, not 76 (it shows 79 on FFN because FFN counts interludes as entire chapters). I initially held off on posting it during the appropriate time (during the posting of chapter 80 here on Patreon) because I wanted the negativity caused by C74 and C74.5 to pass first.Yeah, readers didn't like those chapters very much lmao.Anyway, I'll hold off on posting C76 publically ...

The schedule for the next few chapters is Optimistic, Backseat, my choice, then back to voting. Hopefully, there won't be a long wait between them.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Edited by: priapus, MarethyuA sharp headache jolts me awake from a restless sleep, a relentless throb pulsing through my temples.
