The Missing Split – Manipulated Conversation

The names of Decay Lord Trios are generally deterministic. Those given by the Overlord tend to influence the future of a Trio, to the point that overcoming the potential implications of a name can be impossible. Clearly, a Decay Lord Trio dubbed ‘The Missing’ are bound to struggle against their almost predetermined fate. Unfortunately, it seems the multiverse is conspiring against them. Welcome to one of the… more depressing story arcs I’ve written. A story of rash decisions and broken emotions. Read the original post here. Sini peered into the tiny bedroom where Arkay was sleeping. He’d been hard at… [Continue Reading]

Bloodline Ended

While the Retvik of the MK4 Phoviverse was always a well-known and respected hero of the Rethavok, the MK5 Retvik kinda had some political difficulties. For some rather admittedly stupid reasons, MK5 Retvik was an exile, an unwanted being. Well, today, that all changes. Read the original story here. Retvik checked the map, then looked up at the building in front of him, then checked the map again. The map said he was in the correct place. The presence of members of the 47th Legion suggested he wasn’t. This bothered Retvik greatly, because the 47th Legion, dressed up in black,… [Continue Reading]

Revenge Unfulfilled

In the way the Phoviverse is written, technically, previous versions are still somewhat canon. Major events within previous MKs still happen in some way, although the names and details may have been altered or erased by the passing of history and the meddling of Time Drakes, the divine beings that govern the flow of Time within the Phoviverse. Today’s story isn’t set in the current Phoviverse MK5 era. It’s set in a long, distant past, all the way back in MK3, tying up a single string that I never really got around to dealing with. A vague, twisted answer to… [Continue Reading]

Announcing the Fiction Fun Category

So yeah I know I said I was taking a break and stuff but I don’t want to leave this blog completely dead. While writing articles has been a real struggle for me as of late, I have been writing more and more fiction. In fact, checking over on my Phoviverse website, in the last month alone, my stories have hit the top 10 for most words like 5 times. But since I’m writing so much there, I decided I can put some of that to good use. No, that doesn’t mean I’ll be publishing every Phoviverse article here. Because… [Continue Reading]

Rocking the Ropalolyst

Dressed in white, blue and gold, Nezha and Gauss both stared at the bright yellow Volt that landed beside them and tutted. “What?” Volt asked as he loaded his Kuva Twin Stubbas, then pulled out a hideous, also bright yellow Zaw. “Dude…” Gauss tutted again, flicking one of the toggles on his Acceltra Prime. “What?” “Look at yourself!” Volt glanced down at his arms and chest, then peered over his shoulders, where his Uru Syandana was hanging, then turned back to Gauss. “What? Is this because I’m yellow?” Gauss stared at Volt some more, then crossed his arms. “No, seriously,… [Continue Reading]

On Making Up Words and Languages

When it comes to writing the sort of weird fantasy fiction I write, I need to come up with a lot of fake words. One of the major things about the Phoviverse is that humans practically don’t exist in the main universe. In fact, humans haven’t properly existed since the MK3 Phoviverse, where they did exist and they did live near some of the larger races (mostly the Temthan and Kronospast empires) but in MK4, humans were reduced to a handful of references as a single race that lived on a single planet deep within Kronospast territories, where the Kronospasts… [Continue Reading]

Welcome to Kolasi – Mission Accomplished

This week, instead of normal articles and for an April Fools joke, I’ll be sharing a new Phoviverse story arc, a story set in my fictional universe, with a bunch of nonsensical and definitely not human characters. Join a team of adventurers as they visit a strange jungle world to track down a dangerous beast. Read the original story here. “So, uh, Retvik, can you actually drive?” Retvik frowned as he awkwardly sipped from a very tiny champagne glass. After their stupid adventure, the four of them were now sitting in an extra large jacuzzi, eating fancy food and drinking… [Continue Reading]

Sure, it had a steep point, but the incline was relatively low, to the point that you could drive up parts of it with ease. In fact, that was kinda what had… [Continue Reading]
