Decades, if we’re being honest, because the logical, scientific part of my brain is having a real conniption about how none of this makes sense. I had a Natal Sea in my Natal Palace, both of wh...

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1YlrkRcy9ik9JqneD_MSCLd2K7Y7s5O3lLceOM1H084Y/edit?usp=sharingThere is no time for thought or deliberation as I roll and dive about the sands, avoiding a flurry of kicks and stomps that might well squash me flat.Say what you will about Zhen Shi, but from what I’ve seen thus far, he’s a sub-par Warrior at best. While he’s fast as lightning and hits like a tru...

Chapter 808 V.2
I'm super behind again, because writing these last ... 10? 20? chapters has been difficult. Fun, rewarding, engaging, but oh so very difficult. Like I'm sitting at +1 chapter complete right now, meaning after this one, I have zero completed chapters, when I should have another 4. So to fix this, instead of taking a longer break, I'm just gonna cut back to two chapters a week until I...

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1vRBvCabdNTmnt2Sur-0Dl0nIX9fs_saEvNorcHIFQjM/edit?usp=sharingThere is no cure for regret, but also no cure for stupidity, and here in Shi Bei, I have been stricken by both.Regret because I knew Zhen Shi was lurking nearby but didn’t put enough effort into finding him before now.
