Untarnished 2: Blood and Glory
A choice must be made.
Vale claimed the position of Champion from the candidate intent on taking his life and uses the opportunity presenting itself to leave the Emberheart training facility. He escapes the confines of the prison, believing himself to be the only survivor of the death arena. Listless and alone, Vale must overcome his grief at the loss of his lover and companions to enter a mysterious task force. One made up entirely of misfits like him, known only as ‘the Muzzle Program’.There, Vale is inducted and assigned the code name; Crimson.
A neurochip intended to control Vale’s behaviour is implanted into his brain. But he has a bizarre reaction, resulting in vivid visions of the Pillar of Heaven. A whirlwind of events quickly spirals out of control, thrusting Vale into the middle of an unexpected emergency, extracting the kidnapped daughter of an important member of the governing council.
On his first mission, all is not as it seems. A new breed of Hive appears within the Citadel’s impenetrable walls and intercepted communications from riled-up insurgency groups label this new threat as ‘Dark Deacons’. An evolved form of Infernal Afflicted, they wear a grotesque imitation of Champion’s sacred armament by manipulating their flesh, blood, bone, and sinew. Leaving little evidence of their human origins.
Vale’s team is overrun and pulled from the sky, stranding them thousands of metres below the upper basin still a significant distance from their objective. He must decide if they will complete their mission to rescue the little girl from the unknown clutches of the Deacons. Or, abandon the child to her fate and make an attempt to save himself and disappear into the deep corners of the Gutters.
[R🔞+] Scoundrel: A Tale from the House of Worldly Delight
Take what you want.
An opportunistic bandit takes advantage of a unique opportunity to improve his station in life. After confronting a Magus prospect of similar age, the youth unintentionally blows himself up when his spell goes awry. The scoundrel takes advantage of the situation and steals the identity of the former Vance Saegis to enter the Arcane Academy, embarking on a journey to become a powerful and infamous Magus the likes of which no one has ever seen before.
This wonderful tale from the House of Worldly Delight features encounters with beautiful maidens of many fantastical origins, brutal combat, and extravagant magic! This adventure begins with an impotent Magus trying to swing his wand around willy-nilly. Things go awry for him when he's called to perform in front of a less-than-forgiving audience.
FIGHTING MADE SIMPLE!
Fighting Made Simple: Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu
with Black Belt World Champion Rafael da Silva
Automate Your Fighting!
This book condenses more than a decade and a half of training with world-class Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu practitioners to understand how they move and will improve your ground game massively. I strip away the idea of techniques to unveil the invariables that make them all work, regardless of attributes, or body shape. The outcome of your techniques becomes a foregone conclusion once you control all the inputs. People won’t be able to stop you after having a solid understanding of fundamental body mechanics.
Some of the advanced concepts contained within may be difficult to wrap your head around but the subsequent implementation couldn’t be any more simple.
What to expect from this handbook:
• A self-learning guide for aspiring coaches and athletes to complement your training and help identify strategies, common technique mistakes and how to fix them.
• I don’t offer direct technique examples. Instead, I provide simple strategies and outline the body mechanics involved so you can learn how to optimise techniques.
Nothing is a substitute for hard work and mat time under a credible coach! Combine that with this handbook to train with clarity and purpose, making fighting simple and maximising your desired outcomes. I was able to utilise these systems to go from drowning on the mat to dominating and going toe-to-toe with a BJJ world champion in a short span of time compared with my peers!
