A Side Story to the Nath'aniel Series
The Brotherhood of Mutants has recovered from the betrayal of Baron Bryan Braddock, and has allied with the last Mage alive, and his Citadel. But not all of their members were together with them, so Magneto has sent Exodus to locate and gather their missing members Mystique and Copycat. One he knows how to reach, but the other has disappeared. Can the Knight of the Brotherhood locate both the lost bird and the cat of their team?
--------------------------------
This is a side story to A Mage in the Savage Lands, as that book was getting too long in my opinion, so some chapters just got deleted, and this... more>> subplot got turned into its own short story. It takes place during the second book of the Nath’aniel series so you do not need to have already read that to read this, but it is strongly suggested that you have already read the 1st book in the series, A Mage in Marvel, to understand what has already happened.

Gore is ticked, because my writing takes a more realistic take on what super humans would be like in our world. Strong Language is ticked, because there is some swearing in my writing. And Sexual Content is tick, because a pair of chapters are somewhat edgy, but there is no Erotica in this short story.

Each chapter will between 2300 and 2800 words, while the single Interlude in this book will be shorter (about 1400 words). Unlike the regular entries in the series, this book will not have a prologue (to foreshadow a future event in the story) or an epilogue (to foreshadow the next installment).

Updates will be on Tue, Thur and Sat around 10 est.

Civil War has raged on the Al-Shan Archipelago for the past four decades, only recently coming to an end with the enthronement of the new Emperor.

This is not his story.

The Blood Demon, renowned general of said civil war, is tired of all the fighting and politicking that has described the last four decades of her existence. All she really wanted to do now is to go out into the world and see the many lands from her father's stories.

Thus she retired. And went and did exactly what she wanted.

This is the story of what happens when you toss a (retired) war machine with somewhat lacking common sense into an unsuspecting world at peace.

Chapters will range from 1-2.5k words, scheduled for release every day from Monday to Friday.

First time posting a story on Royal Road here, hoping you folks will enjoy.

Expect:

-slow going slice of life with occassional faster paced action

-world building

-detailed anecdotes on the world, its races, the magic system, and whatnot every now and then

Do not expect:

-romance, other than maybe some passing mentions

-politics, again, barring passing mentions

Any comments, reviews, and criticism will be much appreciated.

And thank you for reading.

A million years ago, the Western Continent was forever changed by the establishment of Yi City, the largest nation in recorded history. Split into many districts, it was the greatest accomplishment of its creator, but its glory did not last long.... more>>

Now, it is separated, and even those connected to the ruling families may be reduced to servants. Yi Wei is one such servant, but even when she isn't being ordered around by the likes of her aunt, she struggles to make any progress in her cultivation. Her own talent seems subpar, and the strange, inert characters floating around within her dantian don't help in the slightest.

However, her life will be changed by a simple accident that will set her onto the path of growth and discovery. The Planar Continents hold many mysteries, and the path she has chosen gives her no choice but to investigate them, for that is the Path of the Ascendant.

(Sexual content will not appear prior to Volume 2. Futanari will not appear prior to Volume 3. The main content of the story is already complete and chapters will be released daily, with exception of bonus chapters, which will come out alongside main chapters. Bonus chapters are being written right now, and once they're done, I will move on to a new novel which will feature more sexual content and futanari, in case that's what you're interested in.)
