When I returned to the gauntlet of furniture walls that Bee had set up, I found her and Samantha small-talking while they scanned the two hallways that led to the bathroom on the corner of the third floor. Apparently, I’d killed almost all the enemies...

It was around late afternoon when Armen, Potts, and I found the house with the red bricks in the Hearth district. Before I could even walk up to the large door of the building, an excited Elfin spotted me from the rooftops and slid down a drainage pi...

Finally caught back up again! Thanks for the patience everyone!
I expect to have Book 2 of Exorcist wrapped up in the coming two months, probably ending sometime in July, so I hope everyone is strapped in and ready for what comes next!

It was indeed a half-shark-half-human monstrosity. The top half was a whitish-grey shark head that was similar in girth to the front of a truck. It had beady black eyes, with skin covered in scars and battle-damage. The bottom half that the enormous hea...

As I wrote on the discord group, I was finishing up my exam project for this semester and thus the release of chapters was delayed by necessity. But fret not, chapter 149 and 150 will all hit Patreon before the end of Sunday, but probably sooner than that.
Thanks for the patience everyone!

The subject matter of this chapter and the next few is fairly dark, even for this story, as it involves children and abuse. I feel like even the toughest people tend to not be fans of such elements, so I wanted to give a heads up. It isn't painted out in explicit detail, but it is still quite grim.

My releases are still kind of a mess, time-wise, since I only have time to write towards the end of the day they're meant to go up. I still have 3 weeks left of my exam period, and after that it'll hopefully return to a more predictable level (i.e. around Noon UTC+1, similar to RR).
I hope everyone is enjoying solar-fl...
