GUNSMOKE AND ALCHEMY: THE HELLFIRE LEDGER

miightyeagleink
“Most men out on the frontier are hunting for gold. I'm hunting for time.” Arthur Mercer has exactly forty-eight hours before his own cells begin to liquefy. Afflicted with the terminal Black-Marrow Blight, his only life-support is the Hellfire Ledger—a spectral bounty system branded into his forearm. It doesn't ask for justice. It demands the souls of the wastes' most corrupted abominations in exchange for cellular stability. Every bounty he completes buys him more life. Every failure brings him closer to dissolving into nothing. Armed with a modified revolver and a coat full of volatile alchemical serums, Arthur hunts the worst horrors of the frontier—plague-smiths, mutated abominations, and things that should never exist. He isn't a hero. He's a sanctioned butcher. But survival has a cost. To stay alive, he must harvest organs, craft forbidden compounds, and turn himself into something less human. And now, a greater threat rises. An army of rot. A plague that cannot be outrun. A cure that might destroy what’s left of his mind.

Chaos Devourer System: My Classless Ascension

Read a few chapters first before deciding if it’s worth your time or not? _________________________ In a time long forgotten, the world of Terra hovered on the edge of annihilation. Demons burst forth from the shadows, unleashing a wave of terror and destruction that ravaged the land. Just when hope seemed to flicker like a dying ember, a new force emerged — **the Awakened**. These extraordinary beings, with powers that defied imagination—telekinesis, flight, and cataclysmic abilities capable of obliterating entire cities—rose to challenge the onslaught. Against insurmountable odds, the Awakened battled valiantly, gradually reclaiming lost territories. Yet, the demons tenaciously clung to their dominion, and the war raged on. In a desperate bid to end the bloodshed, the rulers of the world brokered a fragile truce with the demonic forces, crafting an uneasy semblance of peace. But the scars of conflict ran deep, reshaping the very essence of the planet. Ecosystems trembled and transformed, empires rose from the ashes, and guilds sprouted like wildflowers in a storm. Ancient clans, long thought lost to time, revived and thrived amid the chaos. In this new world, power reigns supreme, the only currency accepted in the brutal economy of survival. In Terra, weakness is a death sentence — to be trodden upon by the strong, where only the mightiest can carve out their destiny. --- **************************** *Weekly Goals* -100 power stones = 1 bonus chapter -200 power stones = 2 bonus chapters -300 power stones = 3 bonus chapters *golden tickets* -20 golden tickets = 1 bonus chapter -50 golden tickets = 2 bonus chapters -100 golden tickets = 3 bonus chapters.. ___________________ Discord: https://discord.gg/h2WwbVXMW
