I kneaded my temples slowly. There was a lot to unpack. No magic towers for the foreseeable future was a loss, but that wasn’t the only sort of artillery available to me. Nor the only sort used during the siege defense at Gradden Marche.

There was some muffled squeaking, a series of bangs, thumps and whooshes, then she popped up again, looking adorably mussed. Like… very carefully mussed to look adorable.

2024-08-26 12:30:34 +0000 UTC View PostThe whole underground basement thing gave me some questions. Like, why did it exist? And why did everything in there seem to assume I’d be camping in the middle of nowhere?

Now that he wasn’t constantly moving with magic, it seemed that not much did work in the void. There was a distinct lack of air, for one thing. Could he… tap on the storage ring, or something? Maybe wave? H...
2024-07-26 16:00:19 +0000 UTC View PostTruth respected a well-organized jumping. No sense in fighting one-on-one when you and five of your nearest and dearest gang mates could kill some lost soul from ambush. There was, however, a higher art. One that took you from a nobody to a certified menace. An art completely beyond the sor...
2024-07-25 16:00:08 +0000 UTC View Post“You are the hero who is saving the world. Do heroes harvest souls? Genuinely asking, I don’t know.” Truth’s mouth had run away from him.

The sheer joy that came with crushing the little tormenting imp was convulsive, rising from the depths of his soul and the most resentful corners of his psyche. It was all the taunting.

I have no idea what I’ve just done. But I’m pretty sure it’s going to fuck up ALL KINDS of things for Starbrite. So. You know. Going to take the win. Oh, and I just saved the sibs, and myself. And my relatives, assuming any of them are still alive.

“Now is the hour.” Mr. Red and Ms. Black chanted.
Nothing more needed to be said. Harmony was resolved. Truth could see it in his eyes. His body would break and his soul would shatter before he quit. The System had been working on Harmony for almost six years now. Truth was brainwashed near suicidal fanaticism in one. Admittedly, in both cases, ...
