Sanguine Paradise - Chapter 141

∼ Day 108 ∼Standing at the edge of the tunnel maw, Bob, Mia, and I was glowering at the precession of gaudy monsters approaching us. All in all, there were seventeen enemies, including the three mounts that were carrying what looked to be a trio of nobles flanked by guards in heavy basalt black armor.But it wasn't just their numbers that gave me pause, but their powerful aura signatures which were more than enough to make my face darken.It was clear that they had long found us and this was no coincidence as they must've followed us ...

Sanguine Paradise - Chapter 140

∼ Day 108 ∼This time around, I was rather happy with the results since we had only spent a little less than four days down here and we had still managed to scrounge together so much EXP. And even though I wasn't the only one doing the killing, Mia and Bob also taking part, I was still getting a healthy influx of EXP as the ones they killed I could merely sap of their blood afterward.Ever since I had become a Strigoi, I had begun to think that I was essentially a black hole for blood as I could ceaselessly drink with Siphon on, without i...

Sanguine Paradise - Chapter 139

∼ Day 104 ∼Gazing all around us, we moved into the massive archway framing the jaw-dropping fortification built directly into the wall of the city. As we took in the sights, we passed a series of very heavily armored guards, even more so than those who had been guarding the main entrance to the city. They towered over even the already eight-foot-tall Bob, plus they had stats to match their imposing appearances.-Appraisal!-I had initially guessed them trolls, but in fact, I hadn't been far off the mark. Groggler was apparently a common e...

Sanguine Paradise - Chapter 138

∼ Day 103 ∼I felt my brow furrow into a frown as I read through my status and skill list.The recent disparaging ever-increasing growth curve had put a serious damper on my enthusiasm. Although it could be contributed somewhat to the fact that I had been focusing on my tribe and its individuals more so than myself as of late, it was clear as day the steep requirement for my power progression was only going to get more demanding the more powerful I got.However, I did know one way that seemed to always circumvent the increasingly climbing requ...

Sanguine Paradise - Chapter 137

∼ Day 102 ∼Ruela had warned us of bandits but worried not for our safety as only a very few of the Ebonwoods or Ebongrave syndicates had monsters capable of threatening our group. The previous band of thieves was a clear indication that her assumption was indeed true.Although I didn't mind the generous flow of free meals, after that one attack there were no more were to be had as none ever presented themselves again. But I was rather happy that Mia had gained quite a few levels after the farce, and she was quickly closing in on her next...

Sanguine Paradise - Chapter 136

∼ Day 95 ∼Even though the Ebonwoods were beyond massive, it didn't take us long before we stumbled upon a wide and worn road. Finding the journey suddenly much more relaxing, our group admired the sights of the forest as we passed colossal trees towering into the sky, both beautiful and alien forest creatures, and the many wonders of the forest's magical nature.However, we didn't get to do this for long as the sudden passing of caravans, groups, and riders atop all kinds of mounts brought us out of our reverie. I was awe-struck ...

Sanguine Paradise - Chapter 135

∼ Day 91 ∼‹ Ruela ›Standing on the open plains outside my clan, I scrutinized my opponent. The elf... wait, the not an elf... urgh -whatever, he seemed very confident in his ability. Although his aura was more than impressive enough, I couldn't help but feel that his physical strength wasn't all there though.That could only mean that he either had an abnormally strong aura for his strength - or that he was a mage...I had yet to actually see this hunk of oh-so-delicious mea... wait, I'm going off track again.. dammit.I was di...

Sanguine Paradise - Chapter 134

∼ Day 91 ∼"So, you're the Master of Bob's tribe?" Ruela asked confusedly."More or less, but yes," I replied, taking a swig of the drink I had been given.By now, we were all sitting at the low-rise stone table, feasting on some surprisingly delicious dishes and drinking some rough but sweet alcoholic beverage all brought to us by an assortment of beautiful orc maids. Although I had never been one for drinking alcohol for the pure taste of it, I didn't really have a choice anymore as my overabundant vitality was li...

Sanguine Paradise - Chapter 133

∼ Day 90 ∼Three days later, Mia, Bob, myself, and twenty strong orcs stood at the settlement's outskirts in front of a crowd of bodies. Being seen off by Lily, Darkan, Rena, Grul, and many other figures of the tribe, we turned to the huge feline mounts readily waiting for us.Jet-black, razor-sharp claws, canines that of sabertooth tiger, bulky and stringy muscles molded into the streamline figure of a panther, possessing an even bigger than the size of a buffalo, these beasts were truly terrifying in their own rights.In a chance encount...

Sanguine Paradise - Chapter 132

∼ Day 87 ∼At the top of the crown of a majestic behemoth tree, I overlooked the sea of green that was the thick canopy of the wild and untamed jungle beneath. Sighing, I couldn't help but feel astounded by the sheer size and magnitude of it all. Not only was the jungle massive from the outside, but actually venturing into it and attempting to explore it just made seem all that larger.Even though over the last four days where I've traveled into the jungle, both alone and with others accompanying me so that they could get some bountif...

Sanguine Paradise - Chapter 131

∼ Day 83 ∼Enjoying the midday sunrays caressing my body, I leisurely lay against the small trunk of a young tree.The location was just at the coastline to the large lake, so the view was quite stunning with the twin suns cresting the monstrous mountain range in the distance, cradling this utopia of lush jungle and the massive serene lake.As I was appreciating our new home, I pulled up two windows.From my fight against that fire mage and my trek through the jungle had awarded me with these advancements. Although I had been happy that they di...

∼ Day 82 ∼Deep within the decrepit tunnels of Eldriac, leisurely laying in a wide and open room opulently decked with mounds of pillows and expensive rugs like a Persian palace, a large figure relaxed. Wholly uncaring of the happening outside in the colossal underground city.Long flowing black hair like that of abyssal silk, pale unblemished skin, salacious facial features that would put any seductress to utter shame, cold and dangerous but ultimately alluring eyes, and a body perfectly sculpted to entice any man or woman. Zath'ash Eral...

This fight was something I rather anticipated as not only was it Bob and Mia going head to head, brawns versus brains, but I honestly didn't have a guess as too would win between themBut cooking their fight down, I could expect it mostly coming down to if or not Mia would be...

Sanguine Paradise - Chapter 128

∼ Day 82 ∼Having Darkan oversee and manage the bracket for this small tournament, we had it all quickly set up. Up first, already squaring off against each other, were Rena and Grul.The twins had recently evolved into their special blood orc archetype of the greenskin evolution linage, so I was quite excited to see how much stronger they had become. They both were equipped with a multitude of different weaponry, as customary to orcs' innate mastery of wielding anything meant to kill.As for the lean and swift Rena, she had a short sword,...

∼ Day 81 ∼[LVL: 60 - Human "Lily Zephyrous"has been afflicted with the Blood Plague!]Smiling as the voracious woman drank my blood, I closed the wound leaking my potent essence seeing as Lily had already gotten more than enough to infuse her with the highest quality of the Blood Plague.She was obviously going to protest, but as her eyes glazed over, it was clear that she had suddenly gotten a prompt. But that fact actually rather confused me as no human before who has drunk my blood before had ever gotten a notification.Was it diffe...

Sanguine Paradise - Chapter 126

∼ Day 81 ∼After a good earful from a capricious drow, Me, Mia, Lily, Bob, and the rest of the tribe made our way down the mountain pass, through the outskirts of the jungle, and over to the ruined greenskin settlement.All the way down, I could feel the ire of Mia's eyes boring holes in my back; literally, I could feel her use some kind of magic with her eyes but I had no clue what it was she was doing...But for now, it probably was just for the best if I left her to vent, I kinda had screwed up after all.Initially, her reprimand of me w...

An hour or two delay on today's chapter.

Hey, just wanted to let you all know that today's chapter is probably going to be published an hour or two later than usual since I'm battling a cold and a raging headache, making it rather hard to focus.Rather than rushing and posting a shite chapter, I'll spend some extra time on it and get it just right.Plus, I also have some small but good news! I've gotten the green light for a commission from the artist who made my cover and the illustration with Xavier, Mia, and Lily (FloatingLeaf243). So other than the other works I alre...

∼ Day 80 ∼‹ Xavier Tal'chor ›I was annoyed that his corpse wasn't worse much EXP due to his power coming not from his physique and blood, but core. However, at least the system gave EXP based on things like contribution and how hard it was for me to kill him."Sigh... that was not worth those meager levels..." I said to myself, regretful that I had to waste such a potentially powerful puppet. But, true to my word, I would bring his head to the beastkin.But as I began walking, I suddenly fell to my knees. "Bleurgh!&#34...

I almost forgot to post these. But I have just gotten two new commission pieces of Mia and Lily done.Enjoy! :D

A/N - If you're wondering about the fire mage, I changed his name because I wasn't quite satisfied with it... :P∼ Day 80 ∼‹ Dramien ›Alarm bells blared in my head. Conjuring a cocoon of roaring flames, I retreated away with blinding speed. Practically flying across the ground as I used my flame conjuration to propel me away, all I knew was that I had to get the fuck away from those shadows.Who had attacked me, and why did they attack me? Was it the beastkin? - No, she definitely doesn't have the means for this, then... who? ...

Poll regarding the latest chapter and its writing structure.

It would appear that most of you prefer the first-person perspective and as such I will be going back to that. However, I noticed that the different way of writing dialogue wasn't mentioned, or at least not criticized.So I wanted to use this poll to see if you preferred this way of writing dialogue:"I have no intentions of affiliating with you damned zealots!" - MeOr this:"I personally don't mind it, " I said attempting to defuse the heated situation. "But I am rather worried if anything untoward is going to happen t...

Sanguine Paradise - Chapter 123

A/N - Due to recent feedback, I've decided to try and see how a different style of writing would work on Sanguine Paradise. I do realize this is quite a big change, and everybody might not like it, but this is only a test drive to see if I can improve the novel's quality. If it is well-received, I will change my style of writing to this, otherwise, I will simply return to the normal state of things.I hope you enjoy!∼ Day 80 ∼‹ Xavier Tal'chor ›Walking through the dense undergrowth of the jungle that claimed a great part of t...

∼ Day 80 ∼Towering a whole head taller than me, a figure who's toned and ripped muscles that even gave Bob a run for his money, stood imposingly with the sun behind them creating a corona of sunlight demarcating their large figure.Time slowed down to a crawl as my mind went to overdrive, trying to not only figure out how the actual fucking hell such a large monster managed to sneak up on me, but also what my next move should be. This could mean life and death, so I took in the sight of my foe.Smooth and slightly tanned skin, toned muscl...

The second art piece!

I just got it now as the review was finished.It's a concept art/teaser, hope you enjoy!It has also been brought to my attention that some of the chapters were mislabeled and others were unlocked for certain tier that they shouldn't. That should be all solved by know, I apoligize if it caused any confusement. :D

A/N - This is the extra (STEAMY) chapter I promised.∼ Day 55 ∼Collapsing into the furs of my newly restored hut, I almost succumbed to an instant slumber.It's been far too long since I had enjoyed the comfort of a bed.All the exhaustion and weariness I had been accumulating ever since I was taken prisoner by that manic woman had finally caught up with me. At that moment, I wanted nothing more than to drift off to sleep.That maybe wasn't true; there was something else I wanted.In my thoughts, I hadn't noticed a figure entering th...
