Chapter 17 - For the Record

Huh? Whaddayamean I can’t farm ghost traps anymore!? I can’t even get in one!

(It’s in the name,) replies Nyx.

Wait... it’s race-specific?

(That’s exactly what I’m saying.)

Wonderful. Well, I guess I don’t hav...

Chapter 16 - For the Record

The trip back to the underground –  wait, is this the ground? Under surface? Below surface? Whatever,  anyway, it’s uneventful. I didn’t even run into my pets along the way,  I’m sure they’ve wandered off and will be easy ...

Chapter 15 - For the Record

After securing my unconscious  cargo in a proper location (ok, so I dumped them in a nearby alley, I’m  sure they’re fine), I let myself in the front door. It’s convenient  having a safe house, isn’t it?

(Less talk, mo...

Chapter 14 - For the Record

I’ve been sifting through my surprisingly normal Class options for some time when Nyx interrupts my fun.

(Philip has been waiting long enough, we need to go back.)

So you can dote on him?

(Be fair. You get hungry too. He’s pr...

Chapter 13 - For the Record

Most of the decisions I’ve  faced in this life, or, unlife? Undeath? Whatever. They’ve been fairly  straightforward. Eat the human, or be hungry? Break the barrier, or be  trapped? Feed the cat, or… well, or Nyx will keep both...

Chapter 12 - For the Record

This guy really can talk, can’t he? Does he have like, a special evolution where he doesn’t have to breathe?

(He’s probably another Spirit type,) my Assistant offers.

“-And the twenty-seventh most recent recorded  case of ...

Chapter 11 - For the Record

I’ll admit it, I’m bored.  We’ve been walking for four days and we haven’t found a single thing for  me to eat. My companions of the green persuasion haven’t exactly been  good conversation partners either, so I’ve had t...

Chapter 10 - For the Record

I must be doing something  right, because after a week and a half of routinely ‘cleaning’ the  settlement’s ghost traps, Nerin appears to have finally accepted my  presence. If nothing else, they’re not constantly radiating ...

Chapter 9 - For the Record

It occurs to me as I pull  myself out from the most recent of seventeen separate ghost traps that  if I actually did have a mortal body, I’d be exceedingly tired by now.  For all its drawbacks, being a spirit can be pretty conveni...

Chapter 8 - For the Record

After weathering Nyx’s  flaming tirade about openly declaring to an unknown and probably  untrustworthy party that I’m going to be vulnerable for some period of  time, I take her advice and wave goodbye to Nerin for the time bei...

Chapter 7 - For the Record

The round vegetables the  shopkeeper had been holding hit the ground, making a soft thud. Deciding  to freeze, are you? Some predators might be fooled, but I’m not ‘some  predators’.

Yes, you.

“W-who… ...

Chapter 6 - For the Record

After what must have been  another solid hour of Nyx attempting to dote on the Philip (despite she  herself stating that she’s intangible), my patience finally runs out.  Sure doesn’t help that I’m starting to feel a strange a...

Chapter 5 - For the Record

I reform. Teleportation never  really feels better, but I’m at least getting used to what I can only  describe as being torn apart and pieced back together. Meanwhile, all  around me is darkness. Did the teleporter malf-

Chapter 4 - For the Record

Walls of gray bricks surround  me when my senses return, a stark contrast from the sterile white and  runic steel of the facility that served as my prison for hells know how  long. Beneath me stands a similar platform to the one tha...

Chapter 3 - For the Record

Just when I think these  hallways are never going to end, I find a far more secured door than the  others. At least I assume it’s more secure, given all the runes washing  across it like a barrier.

(Yup, barrier,) Nyx confir...

Chapter 2 - For the Record

(Short answer? No, not even  close!) Nyx replies nonchalantly. She seems to pick up on my mental brow  furrowing though. (I mean come on, the only reason you even have arms  or legs right now is because what’s left of your mind is...

Chapter 1 - For the Record

Gradually, I come to. My head is splitting, but hopefully whatever is happening is done.

(For now, sure. First bit is the worst, but ascension is pretty well pain in general, I’d start getting used to it.)

She’s sitting on the edge...

Prologue - For the Record

Darkness. My awareness offers  nothing but flashes of motion, color. And the all-encompassing  numbness, filling my thoughts, my mind. For a split second, I see a  splash of something… red? And then it hits… the hunger....

I just linked this to my RoyalRoad since I'm writing a fic there now (For the Record). Once I have enough of a buffer built up for it to make any kind of sense I might add another tier on here for folks to get advance chapters, we'll see.
