Chapter Two: Ceremony of the Broken (I1B0C2)

Image
               Chapter Two: Ceremony of the Broken                 “Can anyone out there hear me?” yelled a voice from the roaring tempest.             Though his body was fast asleep, Hatasuko still could not find peace from the souls screaming in his head. When he heard these words, he tried to mentally sift through the endless darkness in search of the voice. He rarely heard coherent words in the tempest, and even then, it was almost always an exclamation of agony. It was almost always the sound of a lost soul screaming for someone who meant so much to them that, even in death, they could think of nothing else.             “Yes! Yes, I can hear you. I can hear all of you! I can’t hear anything else,” Hatasuko answered into the emptiness.    ...

Chapter One: Having Never Seen the Sunlight (I1B0C1)

Image
               Chapter One: Having Never Seen the Sunlight   “The storm of screaming souls surrounds every thought and swallows the hollows of this hopeless world. The tempest of the damned roars on even when my eyes are closed.”             Hatasuko stared at the monster in the sky as flames roared around him. Shouts echoed as helpless people ran through the dusty streets. He stood in the center of the panic as smoke lifted from the rooftops and shrouded the stars.             He whispered to himself, “It is a symphony of anguished screams—an orchestra of broken souls. A storm that wages on, both when I fight and when I am most alone. I hear every shriek of those lost to this evil, and I can hear nothing else. Their misery is my curse and my fuel; it is a reminder that I am destined to end this evil.”    ...

Updates and Projects

I have not posted many updates in a while due to some critical rewrites and redesigns. Throughout this year, I’ve been working to grow my skills as a digital artist; I’ve uploaded a decent portion around the blog, updating old images throughout the site. Much more to come! I’m also working on a project to (slowly) implement my art pieces in I1B0: A World without Misery . Unfortunately, I’m terribly slow at drawing. This means that my project to draw these scenes (and my project to hand-draw sorcerers for Interitus: Manifest) will take a while yet. On the note of Interitus: Manifest , we’re growing closer to launch of a smaller (very affordable) intro set. More details soon. Chapter uploads have temporarily stopped as I found myself very unsatisfied with I1B2. In fact, that’s been true for thirteen years. I’ve always hated that book. Since it’s my next work to upload… I’ve decided to fix it. I had always told myself it was best to leave it alone as a testament to my growth as a writer, ...

                                       The Dawn of Destruction Interitus 1 – Book One             Chapter Twenty-Four               “ Come on, man! Why you bein’ so secretive for? What’d you get her? Where yo punk-ass even hide it at? I know it ain’t in yo locker; I already checked that shit twice!”             “Stop, Phil! I didn’t get her anything; we aren’t even a couple. I don’t even like Valentine’s Day! To me it’s just another February day, not something that’s worth any attention. I got three tests Friday, man. I don’t have time to think about this,” Seth answered with a sigh.             “Man, how you gon’ tell me it’s Valentine’s Day and you ain’...
