DTK 45

I finished the Houndsmaster set without the emergence of another memory. I felt conflicted. In a way, I was happy that I had managed to finish it. But I also craved more; I wanted to see inside of the strange world of those Seamstresses. I wondered just how far into the distant past those memorie...

DTK 44

Sandy had bags under her eyes as she led me around to her workshop. It was still morning, before lunch, when she pushed the door open and it swung inside.

The monster was mostly disassembled and already loaded onto two carts in the door. At least, the parts that could be salvaged...

All out of ADHD meds

Hey yall, going to be a delay on chapters. I got a psych appoint a day before I wouldve ran out after searching through the month, got my prescription, just to find out the shortage is still ongoing, so if I cant find a pharmacy with stock tonight im probably going to be out of service for a coup...

DTK 43

Valjean left with Sandy to take apart the monster they brought with them. I hadn’t seen it when we circled around the wagons.

Without mending, I couldn’t help my mom repair Valjean’s spare outfit. I wasn’t emotionally ready to continue working on the Houndsmaster set yet�...

“We’re diving it.” Sandy said, before I could even ask.

I was quiet. I didn’t say anything.

The waves lapped up the beach with a crash of seafoam before receding. Sandy was walking forward. I wasn’t sure if sh...

I successfully resisted pov switching for 39 chapters. I can no longer resist
***
I came back to myself breathing hard, fighting for air as if I had been drowning a second earlier. Sweat beaded on my back.

“What the hell was that?” I said aloud, despite the fact that I ...

The break into act 3 is fast approaching........

Terry labored over the table, carefully measuring the hot-blood one of the lizards. She was wearing goggles and gloves.

I was working in her room as a change of scenery. Her window was open, and the whole room sme...

DTK 38.2

we're about to break into act 3

We stood outside the entrance to the last dungeon. The wind was still strong at night. Now it was sprinkling rain down on us. I rubbed my arms as I stood outside.

My mana was full, but I felt like my stomach would explode.

Chapter 38.1

Narrow walk ways of packed earth and loose stone defined the trails around the mountainous dungeon. We moved slowly to keep our footing, climbing higher to try to find a direction that would lead us to the dungeon’s monsters.

The icy dungeon was mostly flat and the enemies with...

DTK 37.2

“It’s a [Windblade!]” Gerald said unhelpfully. “You just… swing it.”

He made a wooshing noise and gestured with his hands at the remains of the table.

“And it takes a mana point?” 

“Huh? Oh yeah. You have plenty, right?” ...

Enchantment for giant scissors ideas

Not gonna lie guys I still can't decide what's the coolest to put on Gwen's giant scissors. Do we have thoughts?

DTK 37.1

I met Sandy in the morning after breakfast. Then we headed to meet Gerald.

His forge was running. We hadn’t seen him in a couple days — I know he mentioned off hand that his skill made him obsessive until he finished working on something. I think he had under sold what exactl...

Pattern Ideas

Hello my loving army, would you like to suggest ideas for patterns for clothing sets?

I love obscure ones that end up being useful. Like a soapmaker that gets the ability to rend fat as if acidified would be cool. Or a coal mining outfit who can see in the dark. It should give 2 types of s...

chapter 36.2

[Warddrobe is level X]

[X] Seamstress Inventory Skill. Grants users access to a multiple outfit storage inventory. One set per level. Users gain 10% of stats from all stored sets and any active skills.

“What?” I asked aloud.

“Hm?” Sandy a...

AN: Readers, I present you this offering today. Let me know if I fucked up what time it is anywhere. Also does anyone know the exact number of days its been since Valjean left? For... no reason in particular.

Sandy walked up to the monster, her footsteps full of a confidence I d...

DTK 35

Sandy cursed, fumbling to remove the gaunlets covering her arms. She was steaming — literally. Steam wafted off her under the armor. Her skin was red as if it had been burned.

“You alright?” I asked, grabbing her arms and turning them over.

“Yeah. Damn. N...

DTK 34

“Gwen!” Terry said.

I stepped from the hallway into the room reserved from her workshop. I hadn’t visited in a few days.

And things here were different.

The tables that had been scattered around the room before and decorated with bottles we...

DTK 33

There was an explosion as Sandy’s skill met the bear’s attack. At first it was a noise like thunder as the skill magically gathered all of the bear’s attacking force. Then her [Parry] redirected it and the sound turned to tearing flesh and creaking bone.

Blood splattered he...

DTK 32.2

AN: mislabeled chapter title

I stood next to Sandy above the boss arena on the third floor of the dungeon. She only had six mana left; she used four earlier. One to turn invisible and drag the Stormcaller set out of town; three to test her parry skill.

We left Gerald behind. He was s...

DTK 32.1

I felt like I was talking to imaginary friends as I walked through the woods with Gerald and Sandy both invisible. I could hear their footsteps breaking branches and crunching through foliage as we walked.

“You guys really don’t have to be invisible for this.” I said.

DTK 31.2

Thread reinforcement would allow me to create stronger threads from what I had availability… which was currently super reinforced monster web thread. I mentally filed it away though, betting that evolving it to level X would give at least a point of Thread Mastery.

DTK 31.1

AN: Just some line edits at the very bottom about available skills

We ate breakfast in the morning without mom. I didn’t find her in her room either.

Mari and Terry gossiped about the news in the town, about who knew Sandy was clearing the dungeon and who they thought di...

DTK 30.2

“I thought you were staying on the cliff!” I shouted as I threw myself out of the water and scrambled towards Gerald.

“Oh — oh shit!” He said, uncharacteristically stepping forward and summoning his shield. “I said no baiting giant monsters at me!”

...

DTK 30.1

Sandy and Gerald stepped into the dungeon in front of me. With one last look around the darkened town, I followed behind. Gerald froze, holding his shield only a few feet out of the gate. I nearly crashed into him as reality twisted around me and I reached the other side.

“Alri...

We walked with mom to the town meeting room — a luxurious use of the limited space in our buildings. Maritha stayed behind at the house after helping clean the workshop.

Mom hummed to herself as she walked.

DTK 29.1

AN: I got ritz back. Also, I'm trying out a new chapter structure for RR/Patreon. Individual chapters might be a little bit shorter while I play with it.

Since my mom agreed to help, Sandy was moving most of our finished supplies to her workshop. The location was more convenient...

DTK 28

We rushed to the vine choked wall at the edge of the dungeon. The alternating day-night cycle of the dungeon meant it was dark on the next floor, but it was still bright enough to see by.

Moon light shimmered over the rivers, its reflecting dancing under a canopy of rainbow color...
