🕯️❄️Let Me Stay: Chapter 1 + 2 is OUT NOW! ❄️🕯️

“It Always Can Get Worse”

After months of Extra Life focus, we are finally returning to the dark, freezing, mafia-infested world of ArcaneFell — and we’re starting exactly where things go horribly, beautifully wrong.

The brothers Gaster are trapped in a Snowdin winter, the fire’s dead, the ink is frozen, tempers are ice-thin… and then reality rips open in their living room.

This is the official re-launch of the ArcaneFell series — shorter chapters, sharper pacing, and a cleaner structure so both old and new readers can jump right in.

If you love:

🩸 Mafia politics

❄️ Monster world hardships

🔥 Unhinged sibling banter

⚔️ Tension you can cut with a frozen knife

🌌 And a human falling straight through a rift into the wrong timeline…

Then welcome back to the chaos.

✨ Read the "Prologue" and a "Day 1: Frozen Home" now.

✨Under His Protection: Chapter 1✨

🌒🚨 Chapter One’s Out – “The Quiet Shift” 🚨🌒

It was supposed to be just another evening on the outpost—quiet snow, low sun, nothing but patrol logs and cargo checks.

Then Old Bill's last cart rolled in.

Now the air is charged, and Sheriff Marrow steps from the shadows with ice in his voice and orders that will change the night.

5 PM. Snowdin’s edge. One cart. One surprise. And a shift that won’t be quiet anymore.

🌙✨ Prologue’s Out Now – ArcaneFell Begins ✨🌙

Meet the rookie: a young feline grunt just trying to survive his first day in the mafia under Don Gaster’s shadow. He’s goes into Dreamland City’s underworld alongside Stonehand—a beetle veteran who’s seen more blood deals than sunrises.

Their job? Head to the Golden Vault, the countries biggest underground auction house, and win a high-value item… no matter the cost.

But this isn’t just a lesson in bidding wars and black market rules. This is where the rookie learns what it really means to work for the Family. Where loyalty is a weapon. And where one wrong move could get you buried beneath the marble.

🔪💰 ArcaneFell: Prologue – now live.

Come and get a taste of ArcaneFell.

✨ [Lore Tease] —🗝️The Golden Vault🗝️✨

They say nothing escapes the Golden Vault. Not the names whispered on its floor. Not the blood traded beneath its lights. Not even the silence.

At the heart of Paradise, where the three districts of the Second Ring meet, the Golden Vault waits—obsidian walls, glowing red seams, Golden Statues and no escape. Where open doors welcoming everyone with worth. Even if only to let them enter The Pit below.

The Golden Vault does not advertise. It does not bargain. It simply opens... even if were arrive.

No one steals from the Golden Vault. Because no one ever leaves with their hands free.

🕯️PROLOG Preview Incoming:🕯️

In the depths of the Second Ring, two people descend past velvet laughter and echoing whispers—one will regret, the other will never forget. Both encountering what was never meant to be remembered.

But Dream Land, remembers everything.

"Runes cut deeper than bullets. Kindness wears chains. This is not a soft world."

✨ Coming Soon: "ArcaneFell: Under His Protection" ✨

🕯️ Set 40 years before the events of the main timeline, this side story tells the origin of two souls bound by duty, magic, and everything they were never supposed to feel.

Garnet was a nameless, fugitive slave—an albino human mage with a collar scar burned into her neck, and a soul that refused to die. Marrow was the cold, unshakable Sheriff of Snowdin. Loyal enforcer of the Gaster family. For two centuries, he served. He did not falter. He did not feel.

Until her.

❄️ Summary: A slave mage with no name. A sheriff with a duty. They weren’t supposed to meet. They weren’t supposed to trust. They definitely weren’t supposed to fall in love.

🌙 Preview: She doesn’t know if he’ll help her. She doesn’t know if he’s like them. But when he steps between her and the slave traders dragging her out of Waterfall, something in her stalls. He doesn’t ask for her name. Doesn’t question if she’s lying. He just sees the chains—and acts. “You brought slavery into Gaster’s territory,” he says, voice flat. “That makes you mine.” When he turns to her, he doesn’t grab her. He offers a coat. A car door. A choice. “You want to stay free? Move.” She does. She says nothing the entire ride. Until finally, softly: “Why help me?” He glances at her. Then forward. “Because they thought no one would stop them.” “That’s where they were wrong.”

🏚️ ArcaneFell: Under His Protection is a short story about scars, loyalty, soul magic, found family, and a love built in silence. It is the beginning of Garnet and Marrow—before the runes, before the war, before anyone believed a human could be anything but expendable.

🖤 Mafia? No Thanks! Chapters outlined. Early scenes written. Some chapters already visualized. Aria’s story is crawling toward catharsis—and she’s still dragging her trauma behind her like a suitcase full of teeth.

📝 Writing phase | 🎨 Art in progress | 32+ chapters ongoing

🩸 The Cost of Loving You Ending? Written. Core emotional damage? Loaded. Betrayal? Brutal. Now the rest of the story just needs catching up.

✍️ Mid-story drafting | 🕯 Outlines in progress ✅ Major plot twists set (Ending + Midpoint) | 40+ chapters ⏸ Currently on hold

💼 Do We Choose Fate or Does Fate Choose Us? Full draft exists. The ending is clean. The beginning… is rebelling. Gaster doesn’t like being peaceful. And neither does the pacing.

🧠 Full draft complete | 🔨 Opening rewrite in progress | 70+ chapters

🦴 Under His Protection Backstory-heavy. Final polish happening now. This is the one closest to release—and it’s going to hurt.

💀 Nearing publication | ✍️ Final edits underway | ~10–14 chapters

ArcaneFell is a gritty, rune-burned AU created by me – @witchofragnarok.

✒️ Author’s Note: ArcaneFell was born from my love for Mafiafell stories like Sooner or Later You’re Gonna Be Mine by Staringback, and the webcomic by Melikas. The first few days of timeline share DNA—but everything beyond becomes something entirely my own. 👉 Full Author’s Note → [Link: Why ArcaneFell Exists]

⸻ 🕯️ STORY THREADS BELOW 🕯️ ⸻

📚 What is ArcaneFell? A dark fantasy MafiaFell-style universe inspired AU, where licensed mages, rune-enforcement, and government-marked magic define survival—and the mafia defines everything else. This world is brutal. Magical. Unforgiving. Beautiful.

🧵 Main Stories in Progress:

• “Mafia? No Thanks!” – Frisk’s sister, Aria, is soulmate to Gaster—and she wants nothing to do with him, the mafia, or fate. But when Frisk Soulbounds with Sans? Aria must decide between her sister or running. But can she break the chains of her trauma and fear of the mafia? Can she learn to trust in a world where people sell where grandmas for a single Manastone? Will she forever run from her past, or fight it to reclaim herself? • “Mafia? No Thanks! – What You Could Have Become” – A Alternative Universe where the story will deeper dive into the soulmate system, the lies it tells, and why fate doesn’t decide who we become—we do. • "The Cost of Loving You" – Calista, guardian to the fierce Frisk, lives quietly in the human city—until their district is taken over by the infamous Gaster mafia. As Frisk wrestles with her soulmate bond to Sans, Calista fights to keep her safe from the criminal world she once escaped. But that world is now ruled by her own fated soulmate: Don Gaster. His presence reignites old wounds and buried feelings, challenging everything she’s fought for. As threats close in and the past creeps back, Calista must decide—can she protect Frisk and herself, or will love, betrayal, and blood ties destroy the family she’s trying to save? • “The Multiverse – Do We Choose Fate or Does Fate Choose Us?” – What will you do as a Don if a alternative version of you drags you into another universe where everything is disgustingly peacfull? And no way home in sigt, untill you meet somone what will change your live forever. Love stitched through trauma, where choice cuts deeper than destiny ever could.

🧵 Backstories in Progress:

• “Let me Stay" - I made a wish—to go home. But instead, I woke up in a world I knew too well. A world I once imagined… now very real. Dropped into the heart of a monster-run mafia in a city lost to time, I did what I had to: survived, adapted, bargained. But this isn’t a story about power. It’s not even a story about magic. It’s about what happens when you begin to care for people you were never supposed to meet. • “Under His Protection” –A former slave mage and a hardened skeleton sheriff—one rescued the other, but neither expected love to grow. In Snowdin’s silence, soul and loyalty collide in a story where souls know what the mind fears.

ArcaneFell is told through three alternative timelines stories, what are interwoven—each exploring different parts of the world and lore and history. Updates will rotate between projects as the world unfolds.
