Plans for the assault

Wish upon the Stars chapter 734

“That was rude.” I said dryly as I stared at the bisected wall. “I just came here looking for someone and you try to cut me in half. That’s objectively bad manners. Don’t you people have hospitality here?”

Lyle grinned at me. “Sure, I can put you in the hospital rig...

Another meeting with master mirror

Wish upon the Stars chapter 733

Bella was still following me. In my head, Callie was howling with laughter over my new ‘apprentice’. I thought it was much less funny, but I didn’t dignify her mockery with a response, opting to take the high road (which is much less effective when the person can FEEL how much they’re ann...

Christmas dinner with the family

Wish upon the Stars chapter 732

Limbo was a fundamentally different place when I was up against so many fighters. In my last battle (if you could even call it that) against the Minotaur, I’d simply destroyed every possible timeline, whittling away his options until he had no choice but to walk headfirst to his destruction. 2024-10-10 22:35:50 +0000 UTC View Post

Finding out more about Coil

Wish upon the Stars chapter 731

Bad Millie apparently made her home in a town called Sparsburg. It was actually fairly close to Runkleton, which convinced me I was on the right track. Her place was, nostalgically, a casino. It reminded me a bit of the one in Doomtown all that time ago, though less…flashy. It was still incredi...

The Yule Ball

Wish upon the Stars chapter 730

As much as I wished I could just charge off to find my target I had to figure out who the hell he was. I only had a real name, and while Chester Baddington might not be the MOST common name, I was sure there was more than one around. Being a D-ranker should help narrow things down, but this WAS a...

a new team member and a new power

Wish upon the Stars chapter 729

“So, is anyone else hungry?” Asked Rayden. “Because I’m starving. Being menaced at makes me ravenous. Besides, you don’t want to team up, but maybe we can share info. I’m the best at sharing info. I share everyone’s info. Desria collects stuffed turtles, and Cavallo is obsessed with...

The destruction of a cup

Wish upon the Stars chapter 728

“So you’re making new friends?” Asked Callie as I leaned back against the wall. She’d manifested a copy through my shadow, and it was curled up next to me. “Because I’ll be honest honey, you can be an acquired taste at times.” She winked at me. “I joke, but seriously, new friends ...

Natasha makes her case to join the peerage

Wish upon the Stars chapter 727

I strode out the door fast enough to be noticeably hurrying but not fast enough to seem panicked. Mephistopheles was a methodical, implacable kind of guy, and I wanted to really cement that image.

Rayden caught up to me within seconds, jogging without any worries about image. Luc...

Simon finds his limits

Wish upon the Stars chapter 726

The descent to Rackham was uneventful. They put me on a shuttle, ferried me down to an out of the way forest, pointed me towards a town and then wished me luck. The Acheron was going to wait in orbit (its stealth capabilities were apparently pretty impressive) in case I needed a quick exit. Grand...

Nsfw warning mind the tags. Negotiation with Natasha

Wish upon the Stars chapter 725

My staff came struck out with the force of an exploding sun, smashing against the armored form of the C-ranker I’d been sparring with and sending them back a step. I tried to follow up, but Abomination Engine had capped out with that last blow. It was about as much as I could take, even using M...

Aftermath of the theft and a big upgrade. Slight NSFW at the beginning but not enough to tag.

Wish upon the Stars chapter 724

Celia left not long after finishing our talk, and the journey was underway. This ship was apparently shockingly fast, and we were looking at a month to Rackham. Which meant a month of…not much. Just me sitting around and parsing the changes to myself from my rank up, sometimes talking to Callie...

Celebration after the task

Wish upon the Stars chapter 723

The rest of the week just flew by. My stockpile of wishes grew, and I marveled at how convenient the whole thing was. Using the rings would help maximize the power, since the scrolls wouldn’t need to transport any physical items for payment, and automating part of the process was ridiculously u...

The first task

Wish upon the Stars chapter 722

The next day we got back to the party. I decided to test out my newest and most consequential perk from my rank up and created wish scrolls, just like I’d been told I could at D-rank. I added eight scrolls to my ring, and was looking forward to finding new ways to trade for them. The mechanics ...

another heist

Wish upon the Stars chapter 721

“This is bullshit!” Snapped Callie as she paced back and forth inside the tent. She’d felt my distress through bond and rushed back, though apparently Black Sorrow had somehow delayed the sensation until she left. “She can’t just DECIDE you need to go on some suicidal mission to the war...

She stared at me expectantly. For a minute. Then two. Finally she sighed. “I was hoping you might run away screaming. Or attack me. You must have a lot of frustration aimed in my direction? You have a perfect opportunity to cave my skull in. I won’t even resist, you can just take your shot.�...
