Beings who had spent trillions of their own natural resources to integrate the small blue planet into a new cultivation paradise looked on with anger. Across from them were the neutral faction of Arbiters, those who were deemed to be above wasting everyone’s time with pointless m...

That was also why I tried to work ahead a bit in a few of the stories this week.

Growing Pains
I feel the throes of pain wake me, seemingly almost instantly from my slumber. As my muscles are cramping and expanding in ways, I cannot understand at first. That is until I finally let my mind process the system messages that are staring at me in the face, ...

It had been the better part of an hour since Terra began heading south. Mentally she was going through escape plans. One simple thing she could do would be to open a portal to a town or village she had already been to. Anywhere that at least two laylines met, she could teleport t...

The Tempest

We were winning.
Despite the odds, despite the hundred to one difficulty of our current predicament. Despite the fact that there would be well over fifty thousand monsters summoned for this final survival stand for our guild, as we had ...

Setting the Stage

We were losing. Even with an extra month to prepare for the onslaught that was coming, we were just caught off guard by the sheer number of monsters. Last time, it was estimated that there was a ten to one ratio of monsters to people. Give...

The Land Claim Project
(Three Days Later)
It has been three days since I last had to prove myself to anyone, about my magical prowess. This was a nice rest and reprieve, as it meant I could actually focus on my job, which was what exactly?

Like Running Through Lightning
Whoosh.
The world was a blur around me. For a moment I almost thought I created a miniature wormhole in space and began moving freely through that void. Then I realized in no small part that this was exactly what I had done. 2023-08-13 23:19:44 +0000 UTC View Post

Where Have You Been
Maria was in the lobby of the Emergency Room. It took her a moment to realize where exactly she was, as she had not been here in years. At least that was what her mind told her.
With the time that had passed, she felt like this place should be comp...

Terra emerged from a realm of blinding light.
For a moment she looked around shocked and scared as to what was happening around her. She was lost, or at least that was the thought she had at first. Then the details of what happened began sifting through her.

The Easy Button
“How?” Gwen asks.
Hearing the question, I am sort of at a loss for what exactly led to this point. The violence of this world is so quick that at times it is hard to think that this world is anything but a place to commit widespread murder for pro...

There it was, a sign that even more events from her past had changed. At her feet was a glowing golden circlet that rolled as if propelled by magic, from the disappearing dust of a head, and landed right at Terra’s feet.
That is when she looked at the item.

All Caught Up
So where to begin? So many things have happened over the past three months, and they are all amazing. First, I have my daughter Jackie, AKA Gwendolyn, AKA Mega Me here with me. I would call her mini-me but she does play a fully aged individual that is 36 yea...

Seven guard captains, a bit more than Terra remembered from her past lives, but nothing she couldn’t handle. Each guard captain wielded a weapon that they specialized in. One used the sword, another the spear, the third used a scythe, the fourth a massive tower shield with spik...

So We Meet Again
Maria’s evolution went a lot easier than she originally thought. Or maybe it was the fact that she had already made a perfect evolution in her past life that made this transition so much easier.
The first main change was that all her titles had been...

Mallory
“Don’t say anything.” A visibly angry Cass said, trying to hold back the rage within her body. She was so angry that even the technicolor feathers on her wings were vibrating. Of course, this only added to her cuteness factor.

No Rain
The second I crossed the plane that separated the 199th floor from the 200th floor, I was filled with a flood of energy. Then I felt the now familiar sensation of gaining a lot of ambient energy all at once. The type of energy that only comes from being rewarded by...

If Terra had to describe her descent down the winding dungeon floors, with her eyes closed, her overall disposition would have to be calm. She moved fluidly from section to section, letting her blade or magical arts do the talking.
