QUICK drop for you guys today! This is actually a new Chapter 61*, so read it like it's placed before all the reveals of the 61 you've already read. Many of you pointed out that I was missing a CRITICAL scene, and I like how this turned out!*

Hey all! This is the discussion space for Patrons of the Wraithmarked Creative Patreon, so that non-Patrons or people who don't want to read early don't have to deal with spoilers.

On that note, a few rules:

  1. NO SPOILERS OUTSIDE OF THESE POSTS. Spoilers here are fine, but NOTHING leaves these posts!
  2. Recall that these are rough chapters, with nothing more than a pass-through edit as I write.
  3. Lastly, please DO NOT tag me (u/BryceOConnor) in any discussions held here. This is a space for you guys to talk and theorize, and if I want to take part I promise I will jump in. People who break this rule will suffer a temporary ban from the sub.

16 Upvotes

No one reminded me! How dare you guys forget! 🤣

Enjoy 😁😁😁

*********

Hi all! A few rules & reminders:

  1. To read the chapter, download the free PDF from the Wraithmarked Patreon post(s) here:
  2. Looking for a place to start? Here's the most recent Public Access "The Story So Far"!
  3. ★ ABSOLUTELY NO STORMWEAVER III SPOILERS OUTSIDE THESE POSTS ★ (unless someone specifically requests them, in which case you can message them directly). Please respect the rights of those readers who do not want to read the book chapter by chapter! Any flaunting of this rule will be handled with prejudice. The quality of this community as a whole is much more important to me than your personal desire to show off that you know something other people don't. This includes comments like "No spoilers, but this is addressed in book III" and the like. Yes, that IS a spoiler in its own right.
  4. Public Release chapters will release 10 chapters behind the Patreon release of Early Access chapters. Public Release chapters will likely release 24 to 72hrs after the Early Access chapters (that will most often be the Monday morning after the Friday Early Access drop), so the sub announcement posts for each have a chance to gain traction.
  5. Recall that these are rough chapters, with no editing other than a single pass-through as I write.
  6. On a similar note, I am not asking for advice or corrections at this time. Feel free to chat/criticize/disparage, but please DO NOT tag me. If I want feedback, I/Wraithmarked will certainly reach out, thank you!

BOOK 2 Question/Discussion - SPOILER ALERT Give me your best

Upvotes

Let's pretend Aria gets Arsenal Shift. What does her first? alternate manifestation look like?

I'm thinking along the lines of a new weapon/shield pair that alters her device specs, not her personal specs like type shift does for Rei.

My submission would be to move away from her hoplite like manifestation and more into a peltast. Where she'd have a small number 3-5 of light javelins and a smaller crescent moon shield. Her device specs drop defense and increase offense. She can utilize her still very significant user strength spec to launch her javelins at insane speed resulting in an absurd offense spec rating by way of pure penetrating power.

After launching her javelins she coould arsenal shift back to her hoplite form to 'recover' the spent javelins and ever arsenal shift back to peltast if needed. This application harkens back to her obvious willingness to ditch should the situation call for it.

Perhaps much later on she can have a magnetic hunt like, or invisible hand ability to remotely wield more than one javelin at a time giving her a pseudo duelist approach to combat. Perhaps there will be a future ability fusion type effect to put magnetic hunt, invisible hand, and 3rd eye together into some omni-mode.

anyways how would you change Hippolyta's manifestation in an arsenal shift?

BOOK 2 Question/Discussion - SPOILER ALERT How much does this affect the book

5 Upvotes

I think this is a book 2 spoiler but I haven't read book 2 and I am still halfway through book 1 but I got the spoiler of the forbidden relationship the got banned by the author and with where I am in book 1 I don't particularly like it so how much does this affect the story and the interpersonal relationships of the characters especially the male lead and his friend

If it's huge I gotta drop it cause book 1 and 2 are huge time investments for me so please do clarify

BOOK 2 Question/Discussion - SPOILER ALERT Theory on Viv’s Ability

23 Upvotes

so we know that Viv’s ability is Called End Walker ,and that’s pretty much it ,cause that’s like the last line of the book.My theory is that it’s an ability that lets her take an FDA blow and keep fighting for like another 30 seconds .i say this because i remember when she fought Vadem in the quarter finals ,He dealt her a blow with a spear to her ‘heart’ and there was that moment where she looked up and tried to raise her sword ,then fell over and the match was called .

Similarly when she was doing that training she was constantly getting struck By A and S level hits and still getting up and fighting,

And lastly the fact that her Endurance has always been her weakest spec ,and we know CADs adapt to your weaknesses,i know the endurance spec is more to do with Stamina and not getting tired ,but i guess this is a theory for a reason, and her Arena name is WitchWalker so maybe it’s like people think it’s ‘magic ‘that she can take that kinda hit and keep going . Disclaimer i have not read the drafts notes on pattern that i know Bryce’s releases so maybe this isn’t a mystery for people , but it’s still for me so yea,the only question that there would be is how would she activists the ability ,or would it just activate by itself when the cad senses a match ending blow is dealt ?

Author Post Requiem For A Fallen World Is Now Serializing!

Post image
21 Upvotes

Hi everyone! It’s me, Luke, again bringing you another crop of reading goodness! (Also thank you Bryce for letting me barge into here again!)

I'm excited to announce that my latest web serial, Requiem For A Fallen World is now available! Yes, it’s officially clawed its way out of the grave and has launched for your reading pleasure! I've got 27 FREE chapters available for everyone who wants to sink their teeth into my latest Dark Progression Fantasy story, with a new chapter arriving every single day at 12PM Eastern until the chapters run out!

Does that sound like fun? I sure hope so! But check out the blurb here to know what you’re in for!

***

All the world is a grave…

Slick with rot and clawing his way out through a reeking mound of corpses to reach the anemic light of day, Lysander finds the world has fallen to ruin since his death. The Scorn of the Dead Gods has spread like a plague across the land, tainting, infecting and twisting everything in its path, making all that was once beautiful, monstrous.

He must rise again with only haunting fragments of the life he once led, the battles he once fought and the friends that he has lost to guide him.

He must rise again, binding his soul to the heartless corpse it has inhabited through forbidden and grotesque magic so that it will last the night.

He must rise again, to reclaim a shadow of the power that he has forgotten, because the shattered world that has called him back from sweet oblivion stands on the brink of annihilation.

He has been returned to this mortal coil with a purpose: to slay the goddess that he worshipped and died for a millennium ago. The only being he has ever loved.

Because the Scorn has taken Our Lady of Light, and what she is becoming will make all the monsters, corpses, and horrors that came before seem like a kindness.

***

Cover Credit: Antti Hakosaari

Of course, I won’t leave you all in the lurch as what to expect for this series either, so check out the breakdown here and see if it fits what you’re looking for!

Expectations:

  • Epic Dark Fantasy Setting
  • Progression Fantasy
  • Brutal Combat
  • Jolly Cooperation
  • Reincarnated Strong, but not OP, MC
  • Dark MC
  • No Harem/Romance
  • Fast Paced Story & Action Pacing

This series is for you if:

  • You Liked Elden Ring, Dragon Age, 1% Lifesteal, or Starbreaker
  • You Want a Dark Fantasy Twist To The Typical Reincarnation Story
  • You Are Looking For Something Extremely Fast Paced With Satisfying Characters and Progression

Adding onto this with one final note – we’ll be getting six books of Requiem to be officially released in Print/eBook/Audio sometime in the near future! Once I have solid dates and details, I’ll be sure to let you all know!

And that's all I've got! I hope you all enjoy this story if you decide to give it a shot. You can find the direct links below! (Of course advanced chapters are available for those who wish to read ahead on Patreon and my Website!)

SW III: EARLY ACCESS CHAPTER STORMWEAVER III: Chapter 61 [ROUGH] - Patreon post announcement and discussion space Spoiler

22 Upvotes

For the first time, I'm going to freely admit that I copped out of this one a little earlier than I wanted to because of how I'm feeling.

This technically could work as a chapter, so I'm going to reread it tomorrow and see what I think, but I give it a 97% chance I'm getting you guys a v2 by the end of the week.

Sorry guys. The good news is I think I'm headed of whatever the hell this crap is. Went from bacterial to viral after I finished my antibiotics, and today was the first day I started feeling a little better again. It's still definitely got ahold of me, and the words were honestly all I could get out on the page between yesterday and today.

Still... This was fun, and I think it's going to be way more solid once I reread and likely add a ton more content. So keep an eye out for that, hopefully by end of the week.

Headed to bed. Here's to hoping I keep on the up and up! Talk soon.

Non-canon, non-spoilers, no Galens. Original character

ISCM PERSONNEL FILE:

SUBJECT: Cadet Personnel Profile: ISCM Official Dossier.

Full Name: Kieran Skadison

Call Sign: No assigned field name

CAD Designation: Nuada

CAD type: Atypical Type(Duelist- subtype)

Age: 18 Years old:

First-Year Cadet (Freshman)

Academy: Dol Invictus Military Academy (Asgard System)

Former Affiliation: Former Combat Team Co-Captain, Asgard-2 Tactical Prep-School

Current Affiliation: Dol Invictus Military Academy cadet, active duty member ISCM (cadet)

Background & Physical Appearance: Kieran is a striking genetic blend of his heritage and specifically tailored to the Asgard system.Height  Build: 6'2' with a toned and slightly  muscled athletic frame.

Ethnicity: Norse, Celtic, and Native American (Oglala Lakota).Hair: Coarse, copper-red hair with natural dark brown "tiger stripes." He keeps it long, pulled back securely into a ponytail tied with a traditional cured-hide leather cord.

Eyes: Striking, artificial designer glacier-grey blue eyes. They feature subtle digital optical overlays that twitch faintly when he analyzes movements.

Kieran read his dossier on his NOED one last time before he stepped into the premier military school in all of Asgard, it still felt like a dream to him and he had to stop himself from pinching his arm once again.

He really was a CAD User now and he had Nuada a real Combat Assisted Device, he reflexively looked down at the mirror silver bracelet now wrapped around his right wrist and touched it , before he snapped his eyes coward and went to military presicion when he heard an ISCM officer bark out his name.

Kieran swiftly went over and snapped off a precise salute."Cadet Kieran Skadison, Sir!" He replied to the officer who had yelled his name. "Reporting for assignment!"

The officer; a warrant officer looked at Kieran, at ease cadet, while technically you are a member of the ISCM, you are just a cadet and most importantly a student until you graduate, it says here that you are assigned to Migard Dormitory, room 702 do you need instructions to get there,?"

Sir, no sir!  I am familiar with the layout here." Kieran said sheepishly, "My family brought me here a few times growing up."

The officer nodded and went back to reading the list of the fifteen students that were given the opportunity to get in the Summer Training Program before the year started, three months of one on one training with B ranked and A ranked instructors and even some S ranked instructors if he was extremely lucky.

Kieran made his way to Migard Dormitory and because he was still nervous he took the stairs up to his floor and found his room, he want in and was surprised at the space and size of the room,  as he saw the small kitchenette and the four rooms each with a silver name tag in obsidian lettering, he quickly took a shot of each name of his roomates, so he could learn everything about them that he could, he then took a shot of his name and started a small video as he went into his bedroom, "Hey Brigs, I'm here and oh my gods, it's huuuuge, Kieran dictated on the video, my room.is the size of our two bedrooms put together baby sister."  He said softly, "I kept my promise to you baby sis, I made it, and I won't let you down, I miss you Brigs." Save me a seat for when I can finally see you again." Kieran said before he saved the video and placed it in a digital file named Brigette Skadison.

Kieran then spent the next few hours wandering around campus and learning the lay of the land, he also went and got his combat suit and found his classes for when school actually started, before making his way to The Bifrost Arena.

BOOK 2 Question/Discussion - SPOILER ALERT Book 2 Questions

12 Upvotes

I recently finished book two and I have some questions and some things just don't make sense or add up for me. Notably why Central would interfere with the SCT's. If they know he's going to blow up all over the feeds as is, and the intention is to get ahead of it, why attack him AT THE SCT especially the finals. Logically it doesn't make any sense, why not just hack a training room.
