Our mod selection process has completed. Please welcome our new moderators.
The regular administrative staff are taking a vacation, and in the meantime, Biigoh is taking over. See here for more information.
A notice about Rule 3 regarding sites hosting pirated/unauthorized content has been made. Please see here for details.
Due to issues with external spam filters, QQ is currently unable to send any mail to Microsoft E-mail addresses. This includes any account at live.com, hotmail.com or msn.com.
Signing up to the forum with one of these addresses will result in your verification E-mail never arriving. For best results, please use a different E-mail provider for your QQ address.
For prospective new members, a word of warning: don't use common names like Dennis, Simon, or Kenny if you decide to create an account. Spammers have used them all before you and gotten those names flagged in the anti-spam databases. Your account registration will be rejected because of it.
Since it has happened MULTIPLE times now, I want to be very clear about this. You do not get to abandon an account and create a new one. You do not get to pass an account to someone else and create a new one. If you do so anyway, you will be banned for creating sockpuppets.
Due to the actions of particularly persistent spammers and trolls, we will be banning disposable email addresses from today onward.
The rules regarding NSFW links have been updated. See here for details.
Chapter 16
At first, Gascoigne didn't believe what he was hearing. He listened, of course, and tried to make sense of it, but the more he thought, the more insane the words of his close comrade, mentor, and—most importantly—his wife's father seemed.
The priest who by the grace of fate had...
Chapter 15
A few days after the night of the blood moon, the pub still didn't look its best, but at least a new door had been installed—a minor miracle in itself, considering the state of Yharnam. I carried on practically as usual, recovering from the second round of a rather unpleasant chase...
Chapter 14
For Lady Maria, seeing the girl—transformed into a Small Celestial Emissary—trembling so violently was, to say the least, unusual. At the very moment the good Sandman had asked his... adopted daughter to hide her within her own dream, the little one's behaviour had been rather...
Chapter 13
The ritual of ascension. Oh, how the scholars of the School of Mensis had prepared for it over the years. They had worked in secret, step by step, ensuring no member of the Choir learned more than was strictly necessary—only that which they were permitted to know.
While officially...
Chapter 12
Ever since she had been named Queen of the Vilebloods, Annalise had seen practically no guests.
She had long since grown accustomed to this state of affairs, yet she still found it absurd: until recently, Yharnam had belonged to her and her kin, and now... Now it was held by the...
Chapter 11
It so happened that Gehrman was not the kind of customer who dropped by every day. Rather, his appearance meant that something important was occurring. He never came during the day either, preferring the later hours. I had long since closed the pub and was preparing for sleep when I...
Chapter 10
Lately, something strange had begun to happen with the blood of certain patients at the clinic. So strange, in fact, that Iosefka, having only just begun her work, was so alarmed she nearly ran to the Healing Church. She stopped herself only by a miracle, knowing full well what...
Chapter 9
Is it difficult for a blatantly hideous, grotesque creature with blue skin and a bloated head to hide in a city that isn't even all that large?
Ordinarily, I'd say it's practically impossible, but Yharnam stands out significantly in this regard. At the very least, its mind-boggling...
Chapter 8
The Night of the Hunt had come to an end, marking the onset of the grey, mundane weekdays, slightly relieved by a small but nonetheless noteworthy event: it had been raining for some time. Heavy rain. In the last few days it had been pouring down, which, in Arthur's memory, did not...
Chapter 7
The days began to blur one into another. Having a spectator in the form of a slightly unstable lady, despondent unto death—and that's hardly a figure of speech!—both brightened my days and occasionally brought on a headache. The latter became particularly acute after I had to quite...
Chapter 6
A student of the School of Mensis. A scholar. Say what you will, but it sounded like a title of honour. A seeker of Eldritch Wisdom, of the Terrible Truth. They might all fear it, avoid it, yet the craving for the unknowable—the dreams of transcendence and surpassing one's own...
Chapter 5
I'm certain that if someone walked in right now and caught that insufferably smug smile on my face, they'd think the poor landlord had been possessed by demons. Again. Though I might argue with an imaginary customer about the "demons" part, my joy was entirely sincere and...
Chapter 4
The door to someone else's dream felt a bit more fragile than before. What used to require significant effort could now be breached — if not with a gentle nudge, as it was during the dream's bleed into the waking world, then certainly…
With about five or six solid kicks?
I knew that...
Chapter 3
Gehrman had long known that something had gone deeply wrong within the Church. What had started as a noble pursuit to use the discovered Old Blood for the greater good—to show the world a miracle—had twisted into something horrific and loathsome, a madness that drove men out of their...
Chapter 2
There is something... meditative about a deep clean. The leisurely sweeping, repairing the shelves (I was starting to get a bit carried away there), and one mustn't forget the dust that was simply everywhere.
The Lords of Dreams won't let their—not exactly most faithful—servant lie...
