I rushed in again. This time I was ready. The cane moved up to intercept me, but I used my left paw to intercept his blow and deflect it. Gary took a step back as I moved in but didn’t attack while he pulled back his cane.
Stepping forward, I slashed out again. Gary side stepped out of th...
2023-04-08 23:02:01 +0000 UTC View Post“You need to rest, child.” Ruth, the woman who had rescued me said. I had made her think I was her child. It was a great cover. Saved from the clutches of the Divine Empress and hiding out in the wilderness.
“Yes mother, go get some more crystals from around the city and come back ton...
2023-04-08 23:01:00 +0000 UTC View Post“Supreme Governor Clarissa, requests your presence Emperor Michael,” a messenger told me after I finished cashing in my points. A small drop to what I already had, but worth it in my mind. I nodded at the messenger who bowed and then took off. There were dispatch points with how the messages ...
2023-04-08 23:00:03 +0000 UTC View Post“I can’t believe it,” Sharpfang hissed out as we made our way back to our living area. His right arm was bandaged like my left arm. “Playing with us like that.” Even I felt depressed. There was nothing I could do against Fenrir. He just tore through all of us easily.
“He was fas...
2023-04-07 23:04:00 +0000 UTC View PostIt had been two weeks and a couple of creatures had disappeared. Everyone left said they had quit for one reason or another, but I wasn’t so sure. They were here one day and gone the next morning. It was a bit freaky, but I didn’t question that and primarily focused on myself and the occasion...
2023-04-07 23:02:01 +0000 UTC View PostI hugged the Divine Empress disguised as her child. She might be an idiot brute, but she was a dangerous idiot brute. I had been stuck in this accursed tower for too long. With her death, I would take her stats and meta-points for myself and then claim this Michael’s stats and possible meta-poi...
2023-04-07 23:01:01 +0000 UTC View PostI was laying down on my inclined resting platform. There was no light, no sound, nothing to distract me. The edges of the room were covered in those enchanted blankets to block out energy. That included the floor and the ceiling.
This was done so I could use my Sense stat to the fullest wit...

VOLUME 1: Tom Cat And Murder Mittens
There was a large communal area with four cooking sections and personal rooms arranged around the edge. We checked the rooms as a group, but they were all the same size. Each room had its own personal bathroom. Only the kitchen and common seating area were shared spaces.
Creatures began pic...

2023-04-06 23:02:00 +0000 UTC View PostPeople were scrambling and being brought for restorations. Doctor Katz was performing triage for the limited supply of crystals we had on hand. Clarissa had quickly taken control, organizing people to sweep the plaza and secure the area.
I walked over to one of the explosion sites. I had wa...
2023-04-06 23:01:02 +0000 UTC View PostThe questions were closed off and a soldier brought me a plate with two burgers. It was impressive how quickly the food was prepared, but cooked meat was a luxury for the most part. I sat on my throne as a couple of people had instruments. They were used slightly, which showed people had been bus...
2023-04-06 23:00:02 +0000 UTC View PostThe only way to keep track of time was when there was a knock on my door and a meal tray was left in the hallway. I picked it up and it was quite filling. Fresh fish, some fruit that was green, and some pasta with some alfredo sauce.
The portions were cat sized, which was really nice. I wou...
2023-04-05 23:09:01 +0000 UTC View PostWe left the cargo ship when it docked at an island. Mousethief soon picked us up in the car and we drove to the far side of the island. “This place we are going to is the headquarters of the Covenant Assassins. Most people would guess that we would be based out the Warrior’s Cathedral, the he...
2023-04-05 23:08:36 +0000 UTC View PostI just sat in the car was the rain and storm got worse. Another car pulled up and began blaring their horn at me. Mousethief why did you have to park so poorly? What should I do? They kept blaring their car horn.
There was lightning overhead as I felt the sound of thunder in my chest. That ...
2023-04-05 23:08:07 +0000 UTC View Post“Why did I have to sneak off the ship?” I asked Mousethief. I had mentally spoken with Mes but hadn’t dared use the Interface to check my skills while other people were around and might see the glow from the stone.
Mes had let me know my father would net me around 5,000 EXP and Mouset...
2023-04-05 23:07:42 +0000 UTC View PostI sat there in the container recovering my breath as I tried to process everything. My father handed me a bottle of water which I quickly drank to calm my nerves. “An assassin?” I finally asked.
“Yes. I have many nicknames, but none of them matter much. I work for the Covenant Church,...
2023-04-05 23:07:10 +0000 UTC View PostI didn’t see Fleece today. He must have been busy with his cultists. I was making good progress. Movement was up to 9 and listening was up to 12. Mes had let me know the first levels would come quickly and easily, but it would get much harder.
Everyone sat down for dinner at the group hom...
2023-04-05 23:06:46 +0000 UTC View PostMy eyes shot open. That had been the strangest dream. There was a talking stone and it wanted me to join a cult.
‘Not a cult Mittens.’ I jumped a bit on my bed. A small floating kitten that glowed blue and was slightly translucent appeared. It was wearing an ancient robe and ro...
2023-04-05 23:06:22 +0000 UTC View PostI lay in my too small bed, my homework done. I didn’t have the motivation to study more. What was the point as a cat? I just needed to pass my classes and then join the military. Fight in some distant jungle against the hordes of snake cultists and actual snakes.
The good news was I had m...

The ancestral Warrior Spirit blessed the proceedings.”

While he didn’t see the assassin, he said these words every night before he fell asleep. For one night would eventually be his last. He had gone against the Covenant Church,...
2023-04-05 23:04:42 +0000 UTC View PostHello everyone. First, let me say thank you all for your support. Last month was really rough on me. Screwing up a major plot point and having to rewrite several chapters, getting deathly sick where my brain felt like it was melting, and then losing power.

There were four guards around my platform to keep people away from my rear and to stop a rush towards me. I wouldn’t be doing this on a regular basis, but initial impressions mattered a ...

2023-04-04 22:58:52 +0000 UTC View PostWater was poured in a cup for me, and I sipped it. “What’s the agenda?” I asked Clarissa. I looked at the men and a few women at the table in front of me. I recognized Doctor Katz and Commander Abdullah. Everyone else was a new face.

2023-04-04 22:58:20 +0000 UTC View PostI was exhausted. Screw the super slimes with a rusty stick right up their rear. I knew slimes didn’t have a rear, but it was honestly getting a bit ridiculous at this point. The city wall was gone, and there was not a city trench instead.
